Price error: Definately!
Will it be honored: Almost certainly not.
Longshot: Yup.
Worth a shot for an online order if you are in alberta: Why not?

...Sometimes the only way to know is place an order and from my own experience I can tell you that sometimes these longshots come through... :)

Retail Price: $339.95
Instant Savings: $120.00
Sale Price: $219.95

Here's their ad showing the (correct) $20 discount:

They won't honour the price error. Don't waste your time.

I have to admit that thought crossed my mind as well - but I don't see it happening...

+1... either price will be fixed, or NCIX will say its below cost.

However, I have to admit I was briefly excited about the prospect of getting an I7-860 so cheap! :cheesygri

Tried to order one for the hell of it, and the website won't even let me check out. Gets stuck on confirm shipping address screen.

I've had two PM's done through different accounts the same day last year, one was approved the other was denied as below cost. It really means nothing, just the person doing it didn't feel like hitting approve.

LOL they won't honor it so don't bother.

A PM is a lot more likely to work. Which is not saying much.

you also might get hit with the "this is out of stock" excuse.. since its not really in stock, but maybe if they made a call to the store and they said it was in stock and at 219... lol also a long shot..

Pls post anyone who manages to checkout and confirm a sale at that price. I notice the low price is still there, so, presumably they know about it, if it's a price error. If it is an error and they don't know about it, that would be kinda weird wouldn't it?

I just clicked the link again and the price error is gone. It's now $319.95.
