Super Smash Bros for $19.82

[BeerBandit]

At walmart.com you can preorder SSB:B at this insane price. I just place my order. I suggest you do the same.

[mikeyboy]

Looks like they already caught it. When you search it comes up as $19.82, but click on the item and it's full price.

Sorry, I tried to post it as soon after I ordered.

Although, I just checked and it still says $19.82. I went videogames/nintendo wii/wii games/coming soon. clicked on it, clicked on preorder. At that point the price is still there. If it doesn't work oh well, but keep checking.

Not a problem. I appreciate the effort.

I can't order it from work but my wife seems to be able to order it from home without a problem.

She tells me that there is a note on the website saying that they can cancel an order at any time at their discretion.

I think firefox is owned by Target, you do not get walmart discounts if you have firefox.

[nevnut]

Thanks!!!!!!!


Just ordered one.


Unbelieveable.

[EddieMoscone]

All in baby...

[Drunky McBetidont]

i just ordered it for my kids birthday, thanks for the tip :thumbup:. walmart.com said delivery on 2/20-2/22 $23 with tax and shipping.

[JustJon]

Bleh, it's only hitting the cart for $50 for me. IE7, Firefox 2.0, Safari...

[Meve]

The price changed but got mine just in time.

[bnceo]

I will buy a Wii just for this game and this game alone. I smell SSB Forum TOURNYS!

[Meve]

I just received a notice from Walmart saying that I requested a cancellation when I did no such thing, those jerks.

Anyone else get this?

I just check the status on walmart.com and it says my order was canceled by walmart.com
I'm very sad and disappointed now.

[Hottub]

Yep, everyone has gotten the cancellation email. Mine just came through in the past hour. Oh well, at least we all tried.

[Hottub]

Somebody find me a phone number!:furious:

I'm going to guess my email will be ignored.
Walmart will learn to trifle with Hottub, and they will feel his wrath!!

Phone number. NOW!!!

The only way to get back at Walmart is to kill it's heart, which is somewhere in the Electronics Dept.

Fixed.

Thanks Jezo, but a simple 800 customer sevice number will be more helpful right now.
Find it before I loose the fire in my belly!

Well, I just got off the phone with Larry the Hayseed. The order came down from the home office that ALL orders were cancelled due to a typo.
The item will be available tomorrow at $49.88!

I tried everything. No luck.

You promised to send it then you didn't.
You cancelled the order, not me. NOOOO!!!
It's my kid's birtday next week.
Please make a note on my account
Go fuck your mother.

Nothing.

I hope Sam is having a good loff over this one.

[IrishAlkey]

Just steal it like the rest of us poor people...

Sure but you do know that it won't play in your toaster....right?

[EddieMoscone]

Just got an e-mail from Walmart...they send me a $10 gift card as an apology for the whole Super Smash Brothers price fiasco. Any of you who managed to get your order in before they changed the price then had you order canceled should expect one too.

[OGC]

Yup we got one of those emails from walmart too.

I'll have to give them credit, considering the clear statement on their website that they reserve the right to cancel orders for any reason, I don't think they HAD to do this, but it was nice.

[BeerBandit]

I got one too. Are we sure this is legit and not spam or one of those "complete the offers to get a gift card." I don't see anything in the email about making up for the cancellations.

[BeerBandit]

I'm a Silly Sammy. I didn't read the whole email. Thank you Walmart.com.

It was Walmart trying to save some face due to the mix up they caused. To keep the consumer happy, they took a bit of a loss to make sure that they came back. Its just the simplest of principles when it comes to retail

If there is a problem, and yes there was one as many customers canceled other orders they had made, the solution is always to give store credit or gift cards to make the customer come back to the store/web site.

Now here is the brilliance of this, if some customers still feel burned about this, they will no use the gift cards. But being that the loss is really only taken if the card is used, it will not hurt them.

On the other side, the only way to hurt them is to use the cards as I said. However, who is going to spend exactly $10? No one, they will either use the card once and have to play tax out of pocket, have a remaining balance they will never use, or use the card as a "10 dollar off coupon" of sorts towards a bigger purchase.

But in all actuality, Walmart will not take a loss for this, as they probably have some insurance that covers situations as of this.

[mikeyboy]

I'll probably pick up the Wii zapper, which is under $20 with my gift card. I wanted to get it anyway, and it runs for around $25 in the local stores. Nearly $7 to ship it seems high for ground shipping of that item, but it's still a good deal.
