Drove 25 miles to the nearest store (after calling, and the manager said, "go ahead and bring the add in").

They took one look at it, and said, "No, you must have changed the price." That made me mad. I had them look it up on the website, and sure enough, there it is.

Well, long story short... after over an hour of arguing, and feigning fury that they called me a liar, they said they "Will not honor a COMPUSA.com misprint." If I want to do anything more, I have to "take it up with corporate."
Of course, corporate is closed today.

So no luck on my end. Next step is to see if Best Buy will price match this... which is not very likely.

San Bernardino store are gay, the whole bunch of them.

Maybe some of you will have some luck.

Peace.

Hmm.. and now the website shows that it is sold out...

Those of you who stick with your orders might be able to make some progress here... they are acting to change it as we speak.

But, I doubt the people that are ordering them off of the website will get any because the number is for the game itself,

No. It's the system with the games.

Yes hoppy, it says that, but i went to the store and the product number is for the game itself, no system. So ordering it on the internet, i assume it is all computerized so they will send you the game since that is the number that goes with the $50.

Thank you, olftboy. You beat me to it.

Come on guys, use some common sense. Stuff like this is bound to happen.
Of course there's going to be some form of policy or law that protects the business from mistakes.

False advertisment is when the business knowingly tricks you into buying something that isn't as the description stated. This means you would have to have purchased it first.

Online stores always tell you the price has been corrected and confirms you order before charging your card.

it does not say it comes with a console though and if it does it it refurbished. Also you cannot return it and does not have any warranty.

I bet at least some of you will get a great deal out of this if you are persistant enough. I just hold onto the print-out from the original, which showed the XBOX and said it came with the system.

They cought it pretty fast, though.
