that's sweet. i wish something like that would happen to me. i already have a wii, just bought it last night. hope that happens to me with a ps3 though, that would be sick. the only time that's ever happen to me with something was when i was little, buying a like 50 or 60 power rangers mega zord set for like 10 bucks or something, i don't really remember.

highly unlikely as this is the hottest item selling right now. for starters, it'd be locked up not "sitting in the $30 area." the only way I could see this possibly true is maybe some absolute idiot was tagging and pricing a new shipment and screwed it up. Then this fortuneate gentlemen came in right as the Wii's hit the shelf. I still say unlikely though...

If that's the way Walmart works, great. They have no obligation to do that, however. An advertisement (including the price sticker on the shelf) is merely a decleration, if you will, that a contract oppurtunity exists. The contract would be you buying the product. However, the advertisement is not actually an invitation into a contract. What this means is that the ad means "Hey, you can buy this from us" not neccesarily "Buy this from us for this price." The price that shows up at the register is the true offer into a contract. This is when the company says "If you'd like to buy this product, you give us this much money, and we give you the product". That's pretty interesting if Walmart works differently than that; it's probably just so they don't have to train cashiers in buisness law. Because, really, how often do price dips THAT huge occur? Not enough, I'd think, to make a policy change worth it, and if these problems did occur enough, well, let's just say it's time to fire the guy who shelves the products.

agreed.
