Last night a deal was posted by pokerplayer on OzBargain, and it quickly broke the record and became the most voted deal in OzBargain history — Logitech MX Revolution Rechargeable Cordless Mouse For $34.10 from Dell. Currently it has received 164 votes and over 5,000 click throughs to Dell’s website. Consider the same mouse is going for at least $65 according to staticICE (and often more than $100), $34.10 delivered is a great deal.
Except it’s from Dell. According to the comments posted on OzBargain, looks like it’s going to be a repeat of last year’s pricing error, which only occured 4-5 months ago with promise that it will not happen again.
D’oh.
Congratulations to those who managed to get OfficeWorks to price match it for them, whom seem to be the biggest winner here.

Pricks. They better come good with this one. I ordered two. Can't see how they can continually squirrel there way out of "pricing errors", especially when they even emailed this one out!
