That should be the case and that is how things are typically operated online but not always. We've seen website goofs where $1000 TV's get listed for $200 and sometimes they honor the order and sometimes they cancel. Rarely does anything come of it. Even in stores staff doesn't always follow the law and customers almost never call them on it. TRU in particular has a track record of canceling preorders they "accidentally" price them lower than they wanted. That's why people worry when they order something on sale.

I've gotten great prices preordering MP Transformers and such but I've seen people that ordered at the same time for the same price get their orders canceled. They never outright say it's because the price was lower than they wanted. They claim some other problem with the order or say they don't know if they will have enough stock to fill your order and cancel it. Had it happened with me where they canceled my order because of no stock and then the item showed up in stock less than two weeks later and I was able to buy it at a higher price. TRU is ruthless with their exclusive pricing.
