Your best best would be to try to get a local store to match the online deal.

It says it features the Xbox video game system.
This bundle features the powerful Xbox video game system, a two-month trial subscription to the highly acclaimed Xbox Live service***, the blockbuster game Star Wars®: The Clone Wars from LucasArts, and THQ Inc.s Tetris® Worlds Online Edition, an enhanced version of the perennial favorite optimized for online play.

Best bet is to walk in to a store, and talk with a manager.

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.

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.

No. It's the system with the games.

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.

| jungec, my own personal advice. If you want the games, take it, it's a pretty good deal. you COULD go to small claims court, but they would likely settle on a solution like Ryan4069's and give you the bundle at full price minus the advertising discrepancy. To me.. it's not worth it. A while ago someone posted a link for $1.25 -250 Gb HDD's. I immediatley ordered two, it came to around $15 with shipping. Obviously it was an error, and they cancelled my order, saying if i still wanted the drives I could purchase them at full price. I suppose I could of fought it... but I don't have the time or the patience. Just my $.02 |
Yeah, I ordered a couple to. The policy of the web site says they have the right to change to cancel the order. You agree to this when you place the order. Sorry about your luck. The only minute chance you have is if they have already charged you card.
