Same here!
I have to say, this makes me like Walmart a little more. Of course, I still hate them. But the loathing has been briefly dimmed.

Crab shampoo (if you have crabs). Or crab salad.

Yeah, considering this had a snowball's chance in hell of the price being true in the first place, it was really cool of them to give this out to us.
I had already written the whole thing off. It's a rather unexpected surprise, for sure.

I had a hard time figuring this out, too. Check your email for the password that it gives you, then click your name in a comment. When at your post history screen, click the "Are you mark? If So, Login Here." link. Enter the password from your email, and change the settings. Badda-bing, badda-boom, you're done.

I received this too late and had pre-ordered Brawl from Circuit City who gave a $10 gift card with it. Wondering if it's worth it and how the $10 gift card will work out. I'm not sure if it charged me though it was a gift.

It charged me for the gift card, but gave me ten dollars off Brawl.

I recommend picking up the 8 dollar packet of Bridgeford Teriyaki beef jerky. It is edible sex.

I got mine, though I'm not sure if I'm really going to spend it. I guess getting $10 for free is better than nothing, but I still hate the corporation and would rather spend my money anywhere else but Walmart. The only reason I "purchased" Brawl at that price was to save money as I screwed over the damn place.

If you guys haven't preorder SBB yet, you can o it in Circuit City... they are offering a $10 gift card too.
Today im going to preorder Devil May Cry 4 Special edition, but I don;t know where... Circuit City to get a $10 gift card too or GameStop to receive an artbook.

Didn't the price error occur to loads of games on several platforms.
Did they only cancel brawl, or are only brawl purchasers getting this, because it seems unfair for people if they had other orders cancelled to not get the same offer.
Can someone clarify this for me.

They gave it to other people as well. I think the reason why they wrote about Brawl is because Brawl was so much more popular than every other game listed that they got a lot more tips on it.

ummm....yeah, that part is OLD news. Not to mention WalMart's online pricing policies that are posted for everyone to see in case of pricing errors. The gift card is icing on the cake for consumers, and good luck with the lawsuit...let us know how far you get before the lawyers laugh you out of their office.
