Seems a bit bizzare, I wonder if they'll honour my order?
I tried to pay with PayPal but it crashed, but it took card details no problem.

From their terms and conditions:
'In the unlikely event that the price of an item has been incorrectly advertised on the Site, We will usually contact you to ask whether you wish to proceed with your order at the correct price. If you are not happy to proceed, or We are unable to obtain your instructions, We will cancel your order and any sum debited by Us from your debit/credit card will be refunded in full to the same card. We will not be obliged to supply products at the incorrect price.'
So no bargains to be had, unfortunately. It is a popular misconception that mislabeled items in shops (and on websites in this case) have to be sold at the price on their ticket/label.

I had the same problem with PayPal, but was able to pay with the credit card. I haven't yet had a confirmation email - I'm sure sooner rather than later I'll get one admitting the screw up and offering a full refund, but it's got to be worth a shot.

something clever
Will almost certainly be cancelled but done it anyway

Who knows, if I end up with 5 X-Boxes, I'll whack em on eBay, if not, then never mind eh?

Hahaha, I thought about ordering 3 and reselling them but figured while there's an outside chance they may honour an order for one there's no chance they'd honour an order for multiple consoles!

Adds a bit of excitement to the day. Will Lua Lua sighn or will Game station notice that they have offered me an X Box for £22, which I have attempted to buy.

Email confirmation of order just came through, not holding out too much hope though
"Please note, this order acknowledgement does not constitute confirmation of a contract. At this stage you are making an offer to purchase goods which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. Acceptance and confirmation will be completed at the time of despatch.
Thanks for shopping at Gamestation.co.uk!"

Zero chance of these orders being despatched, but well done if any one gets one at the price!

Once a non-automatic process (ie a real person) spots that their stock has gone down unusally and they review it the orders will probably get cancelled, BUT you could end up with a gift voucher.
I won't get too excited until the postman delivers it

Are you all just going to ignore what I posted and hope for the best? Good luck any way, if you do succeed I'll buy one off you for £50, it is only fair to spread the wealth after all 
They have already changed the price to what it should be on the site though, so expect your cancellation emails shortly.

I had to laugh when this came into the inbox. They've obviously had the same problem in the past. It doesn't say much for Gamestation's employees!

I'm a great believer that these price 'mistakes' are to just draw people to the site!
Tesco had one recently a Canon 60D and a £600 lens was priced at £900 or so, which is the price for just the camera! Needless to say, no one received one!

Can someone post what Pantani wrote, he's on my ignore list 
Ha, not really, I was already out of the traps and had ordered mine before you posted, and no, I don't, nor did I ever, think I'll receive any Xboxes for that money.
