Out of stock or I might be tempted.  Ordering for later delivery is most likely certain cancellation.

      Uh, he's already got one, you see?
  ARTHUR:  What?
  GALAHAD:  He says they've already got one!
  ARTHUR:  Are you sure he's got one?
  GUARD:  Oh, yes, it's very nice-a [To Other Guards]  I told him we already got one.
  OTHER GUARDS: [Laughing]

So as you can see, I've already got one.

I saw a thread about this on OT. I thought I saw someone mention that they had already received a cancellation.

Dear Amazon Customer,

We are contacting you regarding your order #____________ from the Target store at Amazon.com.  We recently became aware of mismatched price and product information which resulted in the discontinued Sony PS3 Hardware System and the PlayStation 3 Move Advanced Shooter Grip being displayed incorrectly.

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.
We sincerely regret this inconvenience.

I've read the exact opposite about the 80gb version, but the article is pretty old:

I also own the 80GB PS3 model (got it bundled with MGS4) and I haven't had any backwards compatibility problems. Though I have no where near that 90 game library like the guy in the link...

Sony went from full hardware PS2 emulation, to hardware + software, to none.
Ripster may have the mixed one. IMHO, it's just not worth.
