Well, as about a minute ago, that price was still good for another seven days. So much for the implied “hurry, but it now” mentioned above. Now, in all fairness, I did visit the page about 15 minutes ago, and it said that the deal expired in 14 or 15 minutes. Here’s the page as of just a couple of minutes ago:
IMHO, @sheldon ‘s post above offers a great explanation of a very likely reason that the price is so low; that they’ve extended it suggests to me that they haven’t had a lot of takers and instead have had folks listening to what @sb said above (both here and here) about it being too good to be true (i.e. they’ve had a bunch of looky loos, but hardly any buyers).
Buyers reviews say otherwise.
It’s never a good idea to rely on reviews posted to the same site that’s selling a product you’re thinking of buying when the price is ridiculously lower that retail for the same item.
A quick google for reviews of those who’ve bought MS Office from Appleinsider.com reveals lots of complains of buyers being unable to active the product after purchase.
As always, caveat emptor!
