This is more one they got right, but it's newsworthy for the title (and the implications).

Off Armageddon Reef Connect store: $12.80 -- not a bad price, except that Amazon has the hardback on sale for $5.19 for some unexplained reason. It may even be a glitch.

The reason I find it interesting is that TOR is letting them sell it for $12.80, when Baen's Webscriptions has it for $18.00 -- this from a publisher that's been somewhat leery of e-books at all. it also suggests that TOR feels that the DRM warrants something of a price drop ... though not very much of one.
