Woman buys Xbox 360 from Wal-Mart, gets dirty socks |
Ó
And once again, Wal-Mart is under fire for selling a supposedly-new item to a customer, only to have the buyer discover otherwise. Previously, they've sold a "brand-new" Microsoft Zune which was apparently already filled with pornography before it reached the owner, and now they've sold an Xbox 360 for US$ 460... except that the box was filled with dirty socks and old magazines instead of the console.According to the buyer, Marissa Gonzales of Post, Texas, she got the Xbox 360 box from Wal-Mart's layaway department. The console was supposed to have been a Christmas present for her children, but sadly, that plan didn't go too well.
She said that she'd already contacted Wal-Mart management numerous times, but that she was just being turned over from one person to another without any results. She spoke with one Wal-Mart employee who informed her that "Wal-Mart fired several employees before Christmas for stealing from the layaway department". When she inquired if this could have been the case with her purchase, she notes that "They acted like that didn't happen."
Meanwhile, Texas police are now investigating the matter, and Wal-Mart has issued the following statement about the matter:
We take our customers' concerns quite seriously. We are currently conducting an investigation into this situation as well as cooperating fully with the local authorities on their investigation. We wouldn't want to say anything that might hinder their investigation, so at this time we are referring all inquiries to them.
There have been no word as to whether Gonzales' money will be returned to her.

She gotta "XSOX" 360 not a XBOX 360!!!
I just don't get it. Well actually I do.
But I've not be able to return anything. ANYTHING. Without being put through the wringer. No matter what the device, electronic, TV stand, towels, you name it and customer service is calling someone up to the front to verify that what I'm returning has everything included.
It makes me laugh though. While they are screening me the real thieves are robbing them blind and making their PR department work overtime.
i don't see what the problem is, the walmart where i live has good customer service and returns your money in a jiffy. i once bought something at another walmart and returned it to my local walmart and lost the receipt but got a full return
Things like this couldnt happen in my country cuz the citizens would burn down the outlet if not all of them. They would have to be begging for their lives. lol
then i'm certainly glad i live no where near you.
i was really confused then... i didnt get what the fuss was about.. i thought QJ finally portrayed the XBOX360 for what it actually is!
Back into your hole troll. I said back.
where the hell do you live?
Lol pwned
No, really... That's sad
For as much as Microsoft stuff is worth in my eyes. Also, who would pay 480 AMERICAN dollars for one of those!! You can get em for 399 CDN! Maybe this is an old article or smthn...
one time i got a baby carrier, the one thats sort of like a back pack, and when i opened it, there was a torn up umbrella in it. they did give me my money back, without arguing about it either.
Haha she got a dirty sock! too bad. She would have got a PS3 when she bought a PS3.F!cking loud overheating crapbox of red light of doom.
It could of been worse she could of got a PS3 in there,as thats about as useful as a pair of socks being that it has no decent games to play on it.
hahahahaha its funny
2 bad for you hope you will get a new Xbox360
