That's one way to ruin a kid's christmas.

I once bought a used copy of Ape Escape 2 and instead came home with a copy of Ape Escape Pumped and Primed.

That's it. That's the story.

How is this crap still making the news? It literally happens all the time. It is not news worthy...

haha, that's incredible, "From Cock and balls, with Love"

What a lovely message to receive from a piece of wood that has Wood on it.

They should let him have the Wii U and the PS2.

Lol, at least it was a console inside.. I remember hearing a story about finding rocks in Nintendo DSi boxes and stuff :p

My father taught me(fortunately) to avoid that hell-hole. He is a business man himself, so he told me that the entire industry of Walmart is garbage. Greedy CEO's that make their cashiers get little cash for all the jerks they have to talk to. 

To make it worse, they never have more than two goddamn lanes open for checkout.

Does anyone bother to check what they've bought these days?



I feel like I'm the only guy in this room who always checks his McDonalds to make sure the order is always right. Whenever I buy an electronic device I always ask the store to make sure it works, buying a new laptop or tablet I ask to make sure it's a fresh install and that it's not an off the shelf model thrown in a box (caught out a guy at PC world who tried that on my Step dad last year).

I always do that. However, when it comes to technology, not that many people can tell whether the thing they bought is new or used. Many can't tell whether if it's a ripoff or not.

I recall my sister buying a computer for 600 dollars. She complained to me that it was very slow. After examining it for possible viruses, I realized that the specs on her computer were as bad as my 2005 PC. She bought it from best Buy. They probably tricked her into convincing her that it's a "good budget laptop".

I can get that for most people, I was once like that but after a few years you pick up on things or learn to ask more from the clerk. A few years ago I hardly did much research for games I liked and that did lead to some bad purchase decisions (damn Crusader franchise ruining my Steam library) but since then I've tried to be a little more active in doing research on what I;m going to buy than simply grabbing anything on a whim without prior knowledge, my Step dad does that with technology sometimes which is why I stick with him when he does but with his power tools he definitely gives it more thought and time.

My sister keeps breaking her laptops though, mostly because she doesn't treat them with proper respect both physically and software wise even after I explain to her what she's doing is harming and killing each laptop she buys.

Also for your sis, yeah the guys at PC world do exactly the same which is what I dislike the most. They tried to sell my folks Norton and it;s sub plan despite free anti viral software and malware removal kits being entirely free but despite me pointing that out they pressed my folks to buy X or Y even though they didn't need any of what they tried to sell (because my folks got me to show them what they wanted and of course clerks want to sell anything possible to earn a reward/promotion). I also dislike those type of clerks that prey on the real clueless folk, the type that just walked into a store that didn't give much thought to what they really wanted and walk out with products they didn't need.
