    I just saw on SonyStyle UK the Sony Vaio E series for £90! The price stayed like this right up to the checkout!

    I have proof:

    Must be something wrong, typo or something. Or Sony have gone completely mad :)

    Anyone take advantage of it? By rights you should get it for that price if it went through.

    Mate. If I were you I'd buy 5x and resell them as new on ebay or something for profit...
    Most definitely a typo (missing a '0') but as donalc says, you should be fine with your rights.

    Have you tried changing the specs in the CTO menu?

    There are no such rights when buying online or even really in a shop. Although shops do often sell you things if they've made an error with pricing by law they don't actually have to.
    Have a look through Sony's terms and conditions and you might find something.

    Sony is not duty bound to sell it at that price.
    Posting this here also i think makes it less likely that you'll get this for that price.
    Let us know what happens.

    Oh really? Guess it's just in shops where you have to get it for the advertised price. Interesting to know.
