Online purchase - price change after transaction

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania

Recently I ordered a washer and dryer online. At the time of the order the price said $0. So I took a chance and ordered it. I recieved an e-mail confirmation shortly after confirming that I ordered a washer and dryer for $0 and that no payment was required. Later, the company cancelled my order (w/out my permission) and stated that a mistake had been made and I would not recieve my order. My question Shouldn't they have to honor the price advertised, and the price when the order was made, and the price on the order confirmation? It just doesn't seem fair, I mean how many people ordered this for $0and received the product before they noticed the mistake, and what would they do - call all of those people and demand there money? Do I have any legal rights here? Could I negotiate with the company - like maybe I could tell them I would not file suite if they give me the products at warehouse cost. That way, yes the company doesn't profit, but no they don't loose either, and I still get compinsated.

What are my rights, and what should I do?

The mind boggles at this blatant attempt at taking advantage of a company. It's not like they listed $1199, and raised the price a day later to $1299 and are demanding an extra benny from all who ordered the day before.
