Wed. Evening - Checked online and happened across this article: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/03/10/is-it-happening-again-this-time-with-barnes-noble/
Here we go again!
Apparently Barnes & Noble had a similar price glitch on books *surprise* from Diamond Distributors today. Prices were $14.99 this afternoon and evening, although the glitch was resolved much more quickly (probably since today is a weekday and not Saturday night) than in Amazon's case. I managed to place two orders with lightning speed:
