I Heart Target (and Fred Meyer)

Xbox360FanBoy: Warning future Guitar Hero III purchasers … Walmart is evil. And yes, we know the word evil carries a lot of emotional weight behind it, but we’re comfortable and confident in using such an adjective to describe Walmart seeing what they’re doing with their Guitar Hero III bundles. You see, Walmart somehow received an exclusive GHIII bundle from Activision in which they sell the game with old GHII guitar controllers. That means Xbox 360 owners who’d buy the bundle wouldn’t get a wireless Les Gibson and instead get the corded Xplorer.

In some ways, I have to put some fault on the consumer for not reading the box. Would be like the first person that bought an N64, Xbox, or PS2 and complaining there’s only one controller in the box, because the last gen had two… even though it’s clearly labeled on the box.

Yet, I still think this is a completely shitty deal, since Wal-Mart is still charging full price for the lackluster bundle… guess this is what happens when you stock your stores on a consignment basis: you do what you can to save money, even if it’s by screwing your customers. If they took $10 off, that may be something, but full price? Glad I went to Target.

While a picture may be worth at least 1K words, I say this one is worth $99.
