    oh retailer... ( a place to share stories of retailer goofs)
    Hey all. we all have had that one time in a store that makes you want to face palm.

    here are a few to start you off.

    I go into A CEX, and go to buy a copy of wipeout pure and halo 1 pc. I get out of the store, and open up the boxes - i like to read the manuals. The cashier forgot to put in the games.


    In game, I buy a copy of the metal gear HD collection, and the box is pulled out from a drawer behind counter. This was opened by the store. I get out the store, open the box and see the disk for MGS 4. Lolwut.

    now, how about you?

    CEX - 2 keys for deus X in box.

    Gamestation - Bought Rise of nations pre-owned, got home and it was the expansion - promptly copied & returned for original :P

    Game - bought a CD but was an empty case whilst sealed and on display.

    Purchased Deus Ex : Human Revolution from Amazon and when it arrived my packaged also included Crysis 2. I was never charged for the second game, they must've messed up the order and accidentally included it.
