Clearly a mistake, but if they hike the price on you, just cancel. More than likely, they'll honour it.

EDIT: Also, please be responsible CAGs. 1 or 2 copies is fine, 10 copies is going to bring Wally's attention.

Well, I just pre-ordered my copy. Probably should've bought two and sold the extra one. Oh well.

Edit: I received an order confirmation from them and it states you can't cancel. Plus, looking at my credit card account, I've got a pending charge from them already.

ONLY $20???!!!

Holy fuck, that is so totally pre-ordered. Even with 1 day shipping it's cheaper than you'll find just about any Wii game in stores for new.

You can't cancel at the agreed-on price. They can't change prices on you w/o approval after you've made the purchase.

The pending is a test charge.

Looks like they put it back up to $49.82 already.

I blame Jokestiq. Fingers crossed that all of us who ordered have it honoured.

Wait, what?

Your order isn't confirmed until just before it ships.

On the other hand, you can pre-order Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for the Nintendo DS for a mere $70. That's only $40 above retail!

Curse you Americans and your region locking! A Wii game is over 109$ here, and it'll be a long time till I can pick up SSBB in Europe, and you bastards are ordering it early.
Have you no shame? No respect for your brothers out there, who are unable to get this fine game on time? Just think that those 20 dollars could buy you A gallon of oil.

Pft. I don't drive specifically so I can afford luxuries like this. Public transportation has its benefits.

You're an American and you have public transport? Next you'll be telling me you have a giant solar plant for power, and live next to a book binding factory

Edit: Book

I'm only willing to make so many sacrifices.

They wont cancel it, they will ask you to confirm that it was an error and that you will be charged the full amount for it. If you don't confirm the new price then your order will be cancelled.

This has happened a few times on their site with the same results.

There's absolutely no way they could have already processed it, so they most definitely will be able to successfully cancel it.
