--Sorry to highjack the top post--]]>Dec 27th 2007 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/
this had never happened to me before and I was a bsolutely thrown off by not seeing the disc. At first I thought it was in the 360 and when I didn't see it there I looked around frantic until I realized the box "must have been empty".

I returned to the Circuit City to get a game exchange and suggested at the counter that we check the new game box.

The cashier cut it open.

NO DISK WAS INSIDE.

She notified the manager about this and we checked the next box...that one had a game. I was SHOCKED to see this happen at all but, it does...]]>Dec 27th 2007 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/
Gamestop (same company as EBgames) is also infamous for selling a demo disk as a new game; clearly intentionally since the "Demo not for sale or rent" is scratched out with a sharpie.

That was what first tipped me off. I thought, "When has anyone been sold out of PS3's since the week after their release?"

Of course, my local paper obviously was incorrect for that one reason.]]>Dec 29th 2007 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/

The first time I recall is when a child gets mystery meat instead of an iPod in C'mas of 2005.
http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/29/boy-finds-mystery-meat-instead-of-ipod-on-xmas/

The second time was an incident when a girl gets rock-filled boxes twice in a row from two consecutive box-openings of the iPod (if true)

Seriously though, who cares? The PS3 Sucks anyway :-P

but seriously though, that phone books is about as useful as the PS3, might as well teach the kid right from wrong, no doubt Microsoft was behind this :-P]]>Dec 27th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 28th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/Dec 27th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/
The first thought after reading this title was that the parents put a phone book in the box instead of a PS3 to tell the kid to get a job. Now that would be funny.]]>Dec 27th 2007 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/27/kid-gets-phone-book-instead-of-ps3-for-xmas/
