Last nigh꧅t, money-conscious shoppers thought they found the bargain of a lifetime when Target.com mistakenly changed the price of a PS3 console from $399.99 to $39.99, but even those who were lucky enough to find the error won't be getting the deal after all.

The price💯 will not be honored by Target.com, nor Amazon.com, which cross-posts many of the items available for sale o🐻n Target's site.

It took several hours for the online retailer to catch the mistake and fix it, and who 😼knows how many people put in orders for the deal of a lifetime?

GR editor Chris Antista tried his luck, but received an e-mail from Amazon reading, in part,"We are sorry, but we are unable to offer you either of these items at this time and have canceled your order♔. Your credit card was not charged."

Target and Amazon, like every single online retailer, have fine print that allows them to cancel any order or refuse to honor a price if it was posted in error. And certainly no one would believe that this secret, unpublished 90% off deal was supposed to be legitimate.Eh, ther🍸e's no harm in trying.

But if you're still interested, Amazon is all too happy to suggest that you buy 🍸your PS3 along with another controller and a Bluetooth remote control for $363.80... at no bundle discount whatsoever.
