David_Is_Right, I know that is what happens when placing an order on a finished website where the previous prices were fully thought out and correct. I've read of many cases where sites have made typos in their prices and not had to honour orders (or at least only the first few). What I'm not sure about is at what point an online order becomes a contract. I seem to think that an automated email reply doesn't count and that it only becomes a contract when payment is taken. Therefore, I'm not sure that a pre-order placed on a site still in development is a contract and was seeking the official TW position on this.
