    So I went to Midland Target today - the third Target store I had visited - looking for Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes Wii version, advertised for $27.
    Lo and behold there was one, so I snapped it up.
    Back at home, loaded the disc.... "Star Wars the Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels". No doubt a fine game but I already have a lightsaber duelling game on The Force Unleashed.
    'No biggie' I thought. 'I'll take it back and they can give me the right disc'.
    WRONG
    Not only did they not have the disc, the woman serving me tried telling me it WAS the right disc because the cover to Republic Heroes had a character who was also on the Lightsaber Duels disc (never mind that the freaking NAME of the game was different) and that only one Clone Wars game had ever been made!
    I at least got a refund and used it to buy a racing game from another store (it can have up to eight players at once, using Wii remotes and game cube controllers at the same time).

    Boo to Midland Target.

    Haha stupid woman. Don't you love it when they try to tell you that you are wrong and they are right? If I were you, I would have asked to see a manager.

    I had a similar situation when I bought what I thought was Soul Caliber 2 from JB Hifi, got it home and opened it up to find Soul Caliber 3. I already had it, so I took it back. The guy serving me looked at it and said it was the correct one. Then I pointed it out to him and he realised the mistake. At least I eventually got the correct disc.

    Cant say enough about some of the quality staff working at some of these establishments. Had a case at BigW the other day,mum bought a bunch of DVD's... the checkout girl swiped em so quick over the unlocker...she actually ASKED where they unlocked she said Oh yeah sure they are. Put the sealer sticker on them and sent her off. (course i would have checked before coming home but oh no... not her)

    ... get home.. low and behold...the dvds are locked. And like the drive through.. who feels like driving all the way back to get them unlocked?

    .. do you think they realise how easy those things are to open with a pocket knife or do you belive they place too much faith in their little magnettic thingys? (btw.. really strong magnets off yoru fridge DONT work )

    Yes, asked to see the manager, blasted them as well, and THEN taken his money elsewhere like he did
