Wal-Mart apologizes for Super Smash Bros. Brawl mistake |
Ó
When Wal-Mart accidentally posted the pre-order price of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl at US$ 19.8, fans jumped on the "deal" with glee. Shortly after, Wal-Mart noticed it and cancelled all the pre-orders which tried to take advantage of the mistake.Apparently, those who tried to pre-order the wrong-priced game got a generic email from Wal-Mart informing them that the retailer acknowledges the cancellation of the transaction on the part of the consumers. Upset, some trooped to the Internet to flame Uncle Wally.
Wal-Mart is now acknowledging their mistake and is offering a nice apology in the form of a US$ 10 electronic gift card. Those who had their pre-orders cancelled can use it to shave off 10 bucks when they order Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii at its real price.

I still wish they did honor it though. I had Dark Sector, One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Condemned 2 all locked in for 19.82 each. I also ordered Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for 29.82 and Devil May Cry 4 for 39.82. *sigh*
The listed price was 20 or 30 dollars below the retail price, so we're getting $10 gift cards? F*ck you, Wal-mart. If you had put up a sign in your store saying "Super Smash Bros. Brawl, $19.82", and I picked up a copy of it from behind that sign, you would have been forced - by your own policies - to give it to me at that price. Instead, since this was on your website, you can act like $10 will make up for the $20-$30 price difference.
