Was just coming over to post this after checking out the post over at CheapyD's.

Definitely pricing errors, but what the hell, also definitely worth taking a few seconds to order them. :D

[Digital*Firefly]

Looks like there's a bunch more

Warlmart.ca succeeds at sucking once again.

Walmart just sent me this email saying that I canceled the preorder. Didn't get one for Smash Bros, which was on another order. I'm sure I canceled that one too though.

Hahahaha that is classic.... blame the customer for Walmart's misfortunate error

People on CAG said they're going to send letters about this to the BBB. lol.

That won't do anything.

[Flavius]

Yeah, I'm really not getting all of the bitching about this one. How could you do anything but laugh when Wally World sends an email to YOU stating that YOU canceled your order and THEY are accommodating you by fulfilling YOUR request?! :p

I thought that was awesome.

For what it's worth to those of you who are still following this "story" but didn't order, Wal-Mart did...finally...follow up with something of an apology email late last night/early this morning.

Woulda' been cool to pick up a few games on the cheap, but I'm not complaining.

Story from Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/18/wal-mart-gives-10-gift-card-to-victims-opportunists-of-brawl/)

Wal-Mart wants to apologize with a $10 electronic gift card to those who acted on the long-shot dream of purchasing Super Smash Bros. Brawl for $19.82 last week due to an error last week. Wal-Mart shoppers who had their orders canceled by the corporate overlords have now made $10 out of deal, which can be put toward purchasing Brawl for $39.82 from Walmart.com. Brawl buyers who jumped at the error deal, keep an eye on your email, Uncle Wally's sending you a $10 gift card soon.

Better than nothing, I guess.

[DeadMan]

I'm surprised Walmart did anything.. good for them

[Digital*Firefly]

I got my gift card email today.

[Flavius]

I got my gift card email today.

Me too...pretty pleasant surprise, actually.
