Yeah…wouldn’t be the first time someone in the ad-copy department made a goof…I’m surprised at that too…
That’s a very good price.
Nothing sales-wise on it up in Canada, and I don’t want to return and then US-ship for something I can’t get a non-US warranty on. The other thing to bear in mind is that they might stock-limit at that price for the day, so if reddit/social media etc has hold of this leak then you’ll need to be pretty quick on that cart button draw! 
Worth a shot on the day though.

I’m more inclined to beg MS for some sort of price match or store credit. They can only say no I suppose. Good news is, I have that [email protected] e-mail account just sitting idle…

It’s worth a shot, always. If I told you Microsoft Store actually has a ‘no price match’ policy, and that Steve Ballmer left Microsoft early in 2014, I don’t want that to dissuade you. The MS Store employee probably knows neither. 
Looks like Microsoft is having another go at releasing update 1809 that includes the flashlight and a bunch of Windows Mixed Reality changes:
Cool.
Stolen from reddit:
-
Mixed Reality Flashlight - Open a portal into the real world to find your keyboard, see someone nearby, or take a look at your surroundings without removing your headset! You can turn on Mixed Reality Flashlight from the Start menu, by pressing Windows + Grab on your motion controller, or by saying “Flashlight on/off.” Point your controller in the direction of what you want to see, like using a flashlight in the dark.
-
New apps and ways to launch content in the mixed reality home
- If you’re using Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR, your SteamVR titles now show up in the Start menu and app launchers for each can be placed in the mixed reality home.
- New 360 Videos app for discovering a regularly-curated selection of 360-degree videos.
- New WebVR Showcase app for discovering a regularly-curated selection of WebVR experiences.
- First-time Windows Mixed Reality customers will enter the Cliff House and find it pre-populated with 3D app launchers for some of our favorite immersive apps and games from the Microsoft Store.
- Microsoft Edge windows now include a Share button.
- If you’re using Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR, your SteamVR titles now show up in the Start menu and app launchers for each can be placed in the mixed reality home.
- Quick actions menu - From within an immersive mixed reality app, you can press the Windows button to access a new quick actions menu, with easy access to SteamVR menu , photo/video capture , flashlight , and home .
- Support for backpack PCs - Windows Mixed Reality immersive (VR) headsets run on backpack PCs without requiring a display emulator once setup has been completed.
- New audio features - You can now mirror the audio from a Windows Mixed Reality experience to both the audio jack (or headphones) in your headset and an audio device connected to your PC (like external speakers). We’ve also added a visual indicator for volume level in your headset’s display.
-
Other improvements
- Mixed Reality Portal updates are now delivered through the Microsoft Store, enabling quicker updates between major Windows releases. Note that this only applies to the desktop app and the Windows Mixed Reality headset experience still updates with the OS.
- When headsets go to sleep, Windows Mixed Reality apps are suspended instead of terminated (until Mixed Reality Portal is closed).

Frog blast the vent core!
Well, it was a fast update anyway. Back online already and nothing super catastrophic appears to have happened yet.

Do the flashlight! If it doesn’t work then in your Windows Update dialog, they’ll be a OS Build Info link that might still say Version 1803 (rather than the magic 1809 My Documents Deleter Edition)
Yeah…first thing I tried was the flashlight and it didn’t work…
Mine says Version 1803 Installed on 5/16/18 OS Build 17134.407
Not rolled out for you as yet. After the last time they are being cautious doing it chunk by chunk, so it could be a couple of days.

Hmm…guess that Steve Ballmer e-mail address really is blacklisted. Darn.

So the WMR flashlights are actually pretty useful. Weird but useful…
You point the controllers and it gives you a live video feed of where they are looking.
