Actually, the principle the judge is applying/describing in her interview is the proper and accepted legal doctrine in regards to whether a judge should order a new trial in light of new evidence.
I'll assume that you weren't attempting to actively misconstrue her statements.
Lawyerly opinion? (don't take the following seriously :)
On the extremely off-chance Mr. Tretton could be deemed to made a valid offer with his statement, it would most likely be considered an offer for unilateral contract acceptable through the rendering of performance. Meaning, you would have to actually buy the PS3 and send relevant proof that it was on a store shelf for more than 5 minutes and send it to him. And depending on the circumstances surrounding the time of his statement, this may mean that only PS3's on store shelves for more than 5 minutes in a reasonable timeframe at the time of his statements would qualify.
And even if this all applies, his failure to pay may not entitle claimants to full expectation damages, the $1,200. So you might only recover a lesser amount... probably the value of the PS3.
This ignores a whole host of other legal considerations (class-action, UCC, etc) that you really don't want to know about.
According to Zach's googling, Rod's mouse kiosk is capable of not existing anywhere besides the public, Islam, the Internet, a mall, a metro in Montreal, a small open temple or pavilion supported by pillars, Princeton, the Ottoman Empire.. or Toronto.
j/p ;)
