and believe it or not Target has everything to gain.
Why? Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short. All this talk and controversy about the PS3 will knock Target up on the serach engines. Its cheap advertising compared to what advertising costs. Honoring it will even get them more attention and have it put on the news, blogs..ect

So lets see what happens.
If they give out refunds instead of actually sending the product, it's just that much cheaper.
From the Product Description; So I think we have a case. They best not send me a controler (especially with the super high shipping rate)
Product Description
Sony PlayStation 3 60GB (NEW, Unopened, Sealed) Experience the next generation of gaming with the Sony PlayStation 3. It boasts impressive high-definition graphics and multichannel sound that engage you in the on-screen action. And this home entertainment powerhouse goes beyond gaming, offering a wealth of multimedia and networking features. Cutting-edge, high-def graphics and wraparound sound The PlayStation 3's remarkable performance starts with the Cell — an efficient, state-of-the-art processor designed from the ground up with next-gen gaming in mind. The Cell and the PS3's powerful graphics engine work together to pump out high-definition images with realistic textures and elaborate detail. This console can even output games in 1080p to perfectly complement today's top-of-the-line HDTVs. And you can connect the PS3 to a home theater system to enhance the experience with energetic surround sound — hear the roar of engines fall behind you as you speed past the competition, or revel in the applause of a stadium full of cheering fans. Backwards Compatible The PlayStation 3 60GB is backward compatible with most PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, which means you'll be able to play your favorite games without keeping all the old systems. The console will have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot and a Compact Flash memory slot. It comes with a pre-installed hard disc drive, which allows you to save games as well as download content from the internet. Even more entertainment choices When you're ready to take a break from gaming, this multimedia champ has you covered. Its built-in 80GB hard drive offers easy storage for your favorite CDs and digital photos — listen to your tunes through your best speakers, or share your photos on your TV's crisp, colorful screen. You can also watch DVDs, or even pop in NOTE: This product description has been cutt-off (is not complete) due to the size limit of Amazon.com's description field.
Thanks for the Post! I just bought one through Amazon. Says that they are currently out of stock but you can still place an order. I almost tried buying it directly through Target's web site, but at the very end of the check out it lists the item as a controller. I wonder which site would be better for honoring this item. Amazon or Target?

should be a 3rd vote, about sending out unable to fill order emails and canceling transactions, which I think will happen.
Hoping they send me a 40 buck PS3, but you know. 1000 people, 400 dollar loss per unit. Doubt Target will take that kind of a loss. Betting they cancel the orders or email unable to fill or something like that.
I called Amazon yesterday evening after purchasing the console and I was told that "Target is trying to get rid of the older models", which is a little odd. This was contradicted just now when I called for the second time.

I got one too
thanks for the heads up!

Target wouldn't do anything for my order, but cancel it or send me a controller... hopefully amazon is better
they already replied to your order? The amazon one is through Target; so it'll probably be the same.
Either way worse comes to worse you get a refund and nothing lost.
yeah if you look at the description it says it's the "The official PlayStation®Move sharp shooter " controller.
look at the category - Category: Controllers
if only it was true........

Yes, that was my intention, but somehow I messed up. Let's try again.
