    You don't understand consumer law, that's not how it works but best of luck with it.

    It is an invitation to treat. They do not have to sell it to you for that price.

    Also looks like it is sold by "Eurieka".

    why arent they obligated and how are they backed by law?

    Did anyone realise that it is (was) sold by Irish company eurieka.ie?
    This is part of my order confirmation:

    ASUS GeForce GTX 570 DirectCUII - 1280 MB GDDR5 - PCI-Express
    2.0 (ENGTX570 DCII/2DIS/1280MD5) Sold by Eurieka
    Quantity: 1 € 29.57
    AMD Phenom II X4 980 3.7 GHz Black Edition 125 W
    (HDZ980FBGMBOX) Sold by Eurieka
    Quantity: 1 € 62.63

    There is still this fancy Phenom there, I was unsure if I should go for it, but now when that asus happened I tried both. It will be really surprise if I get any of this.

    It's as God Father said, it's an invitation to treat not an offer. If they spot the mistake before they dispatch the card then they can cancel the transaction.

    Invitation to treat:

    "an expression of willingness to negotiate. A person making an invitation to treat does not intend to be bound as soon as it is accepted by the person to whom the statement is addressed."

    It is not a binding agreement and no contract has been made yet.

    You never know, we might get lucky and they might send out the cards, highly unlikely though.

    If I remember correctly something like this happened with Dell before. Can anyone remember what happened there?

    Displayed shop prices are also an invitation to treat. If they make a mistake they do not have to honour it but some will to keep good customer relations.
    1 customer 1 item, not a big loss and it keeps the customer happy.

    On the internet it's a different story when there can be hundreds of orders. It's just too much money for a business to lose so they have to accept the bad rep and not honour the price.

    Just checked my bank balance and the money has been debited from my account. Does this mean I will get the card or can they still legally cancel the transaction?

    they can still cancel and refund you the money. it hasn't been debited from my account yet, showing as incompleted transaction, so probably no 570 triSLI for me :(

    Very much doubt it, though I've seen retailers honor price errors. Never with Pixmania though :P

    Does anyone have any experience with eurieka.ie? Are they reliable seller or not? What should we expect with them?

    You can expect that they won't honour it and be extremely excited and amazed if they do.
