	quote Shinobi_razor i remember back when the 360 first came out at $400. my local Walmart put out an ad in the newspaper for 360 systems for $40. they forgot the extra 0 on the end, and so they were legally forced to sell 360's for $40 until their new ad came out! i missed out on my chance though. Afraid I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that. No shop is legally obliged to sell anything to anyone. ------------------- i don't read posts with queer fonts

	Meh, I could see that deal with Wal-Mart as being real. I work at a grocery store, and whenever something is up at the wrong price, or at the previous week's sale price, we have to give it to them at the price listed. It's the store's fault, so the store takes a loss for that item. ------------------- DALLAS COWBOYS 8-3 Come join the Borderlands Survivor! No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise \| Left 4 Dead 2

	no i mean seriously, the fine print nowadays actually states "company x reserves the right to cancel advertised prices" remember when best buy advertised that deal for the ps3 and didnt honor it? it was like an hdtv, a ps3 and some other stuff for like 1300 dollars, or something like that. I cant remember cuz it was like almost a year ago or something like that...

False advertising is when they sell something under the pretence it's something else (ie, this car has done X miles when it's really done Y). Like I said no company is legally obliged to sell anything to anyone. BUT I can see a company the size of Wal Mart selling it at that price. But they don't have to. ------------------- i don't read posts with queer fonts
