there are far important things in life than worrying about if you screwed a corporation over a 50 dollar upgrade which they will still profit from. And at worst made someone wait an extra week for next shipment of consoles.

At worst you got someone fired, failure to pay bills, feed self, rent, gas, etc. There will certainly be consequences for that employee, and all the cheering on you get from the internet does not change the fact. In answer to your own question, Yes, you are. It's not somewhat unethical, its completely so.

He won't get fired for that likely he gets written up. And if he does it's not like gamestop clerk level jobs are hard to find...

He made a mistake regardless. Since I've worked in retail before, 99% of the time the customer takes advantage of the situation. As an employee when you fuck up, you fuck up. Something like this aint gonna get you fired unless they already don't like you, or have been written up previously.
