Considering that they don't even sell the memory cards on their site, and they don't have any of the other memory card sizes on Amazon or buy.com, these probably aren't going to be fulfilled properly.
Sent them an email, probably canceling mine.

two different Skylander characters are much more similar than a 32GB memory cards vs. a game...
BTW, if you look at the game page for Wipeout on Tiger Direct's site, they have this return info:
This Product Has Limited Exchange Privileges.
Only defective exchanges for identical item within 30 days of purchase permitted on this product. After 30 days, please contact the manufacturer at: 800-345-7669.
Might want to cancel unless you want to really find out if it's the actual card.

Product was bought through Amazon. It doesn't matter.
Since it is still Tiger Direct handling shipping, you'd likely have to do returns through them. They even warn you on buy.com that you have to contact Tiger Direct for cancelling, etc.

Hmm i wonder if someone will take it for the team and see if they actually send the memory card or wipeout.

Doesn't matter. You can't sell one thing and ship something completely different.

almost ordered one but it's not worth the hassle if it turns out to be wipeout. i know i would get the money back eventually but i'd rather not deal with shipping it back, waiting on the refund, etc.
Even so, it was bought THROUGH Amazon. If there really is a problem thenAmazon will take care of us and deal with Tiger later.

Despite all the excitement I think we all need to say "Goddamnit Sony why did you have make yet another media format????"
If you look on Tiger Direct, they don't even sell the memory cards. If it does end up being an issue we can deal with the sites we purchased through, then that will be good. I just worry that they will say we have to deal with Tiger Direct directly.
Considering they say that Tiger Direct will be shipping the item and they don't sell it on their site, I am certain we will not receive the item we purchased. Just saying.

this isn't exactly true. i've had returns before through a 3rd party seller and had to deal directly with them. amazon wouldn't get involved. i mean the returns were eventually taken care of but not through amazon

Amazon sends them what they sent us in our receipt. Tiger Direct isnt getting a bunch of incoming orders via Amazon saying "Ship these people Wipeout". The orders say "Ship 32 gig Vita card". If they don't have them, then they clearly have to cancel the orders or have Amazon cover the mistake. They will not be shipping Wipeout.
Unless the backend system has an item number mismatch. So tiger direct fulfillment may actually believe you ordered wipeout.
That's not exactly true, Tigerdirect most likely imports the data tables from Amazon into their own order system. It'll match the item number they have linked with Amazon, if somehow Tigerdirect has Wipeout in their system matched with the wrong UPC\item number, then it'll show up as Wipeout on Tigerdirect's end.
Unless the problem was with the product registry. If that's the case and they mistakenly registered Wipeout as the memory cards then they can totally ship them out. Still their fault though. Seriously, people need to stop worrying. It's a win win.

this is very likely what happened. i ain't hatin tho! hope everyone who ordered gets the 32 gb because $100 is overpriced (although i had already bought one at $100...)
I'm not sure why they would do that, though, since Tiger doesn't sell Vita memory cards on their site.
Someone at Tigerdirect screwed up when making the product entry, probably copy\pasted the wrong upc or w/e. Then uploaded to Amazon\buy.com. Amazon will list the item based on UPC.
If you plan on doing much digital downloads I'd just keep the 32 GB and not have to deal with memory card management for months.
It's weird because the sku number listed on the receipt is not the same as any type of sku listed on tiger's site, so there's no way of knowing. I asked them in my cancellation email to them to explain what the item was that I had purchased, to see what they will say.

On buy.com I only had their SKU, TigerDirect's are formatted differently.
Like I said, TigerDirect/CircuitCity don't have them on their site, AND they don't have any other memory cards on Amazon/buy.com. Regardless of what happens, I don't think anybody is getting a 32GB memory card because the distributor doesn't even sell them.
I sent an email to confirm and cancel if they aren't sending memory cards.
Yeah, I did the same thing, but you can buy the other memory cards on buy.com/Amazon, just not shipped by Tiger Direct.

Amazon has started sending out cancellation emails.

I put in my order at 1:20pm EST, no cancellation email yet. If it's not canceled automatically, I'm going to ride it out.

It was magical while it lasted.
And I still came out happy, just like I said I would!

You guys have obviously never been an official seller for Amazon. The receipt the seller is going to stick in the box with every order is going to say 32Gig Vita mem cart. They won't stick Wipeout in there when it obviously says something else. No back-end system is going to change what Amazon lists to them what the customer is expecting. The screw-up you're referring to can lead to what we saw today, but there's error-checking in place to stop from the wrong items being shipped to that many people.

sounds like they're just cancelling orders instead

Yep, there's no way they'd go the other route (shipping the wrong item). Mine still shows shipping and they've taken my money. We shall see.

The email clearly states it was canceled because the item is out of stock, nothing said about there being a mistake in the listing. I'm still holding out hope.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Well I contacted Tiger's CS through buy.com to see what they say. They took my money through paypal and my order is still processing. Told them to refund me asap if their not sending the card... which it seems like their not based on the amazon cancel emails.
Oh well, worth a shot.

Hope that they can send you the wrong product? TG/CC don't even sell the memory cards, there is nothing to send.
