Web cam miss priced bargain!!!

Hi,
I don't know if this is too late, but I was looking for a cheap web cam and came across one on P C World website priced at £5.98 for a twin pack of Microsoft Life Cam VX 3000! (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0726944467.1188156293@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccciaddlklidlgmcflgceggdhhmdgml.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=483895&category_oid=)

I went into store but couldn't find any so asked an assistant who tried their web-site instore as I didn't know the name of it at the time just the price, nothing came up at that price so he went to check stockroom and they had some. He checked bar code and yes it was £5.98 he said it was a good one and couldn't understand the price!
He then checked online for specs and it came up at £59.98!!!!!!,

He said it as obviously an error but sold it to me at £5.98 as that is the price it comes up in the till!!

I love bargains and i don't know if the price has been changed in stores yet, but it may be worth a try!

    Actually for a while yesterday (Saturday) afternoon this was showing online too at £5.98. Unfortunately when you added it to your basket it came up at the real price of £59.98. I was tempted to order it to collect instore (taking a screenshot of the website at £5.98 of course) and pretend I hadn't realised that the price went up at the checkout stage. Worth a try. Anyway, by the time I'd gone to check the football scores, and come back to the computer with the plan devised they'd corrected the mistake on the website! :(

    did it scan at £5.98 or did you bring in a screen shot of the webpage when it showed up at £5.98.

    also which store did you visit?

    thanks
