Topic: Place your bets - What the heck am I actually going to get?

[UncleBob]

So, I'm browsing through Walmart.com's selection of pre-owned games.  I've ordered two so far and have been pleased, plus I get a discount, so I've been checking it out on a regular basis to see what pops up.

Tonight, I found the following: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=13007509



The picture and description is for the Masters of the Universe game.
The product title is for The Haunted Mansion.

So, I call customer service.  The rep, thinking I want Haunted Mansion, says she'll escalate it to see if they actually have Haunted Mansion.  I say I want the MotU game - she says "Oh, that's what you'll get if you order this then.  The item is just named wrong."

So, I ordered it.  It's only $5 and I can just return it at the store if it's not right.

Anywhoo, after I order it, I get to looking around, since I never really knew there was even a MotU game released for the GCN (I knew there was one released for the GBA)... apparently, the GCN version was canceled.

So... what do you think I'm going to get?

I picked "cancellation and automatic refund' because I'm sure they have neither game, the inventory was probably thrown off because some punk like you working at another walmart probably swiped the last bargain bin copy of Haunted Mansion for their kid brother/sister or it was meant to be MOS'd but wasn't (but still destroyed anyway).

Though i'd be much happier if you got a copy of NCAA Football 1999 for the XBox that actually contained a porno instead.

Hell why not Masters of the Universe...

[Mop it up]

If the order isn't canceled then I think you might receive a different version of the game.

You'll get a rare demo disc of the Me Man game.

LOL...oops. Me Man: Defender of Man Nipples?

Not sure how I replaced M with H there...

Glitch in the system or someone screwing around?

OMG, I forgot that was the title of that game. I've wanted to nominate it for RetroActive but kept forgetting it's name and confusing it with another game called Wild Arms. Thanks for helping me out there.

I will laugh if UB gets that game instead.

[UncleBob]

Well, I received an e-mail telling me that my order was on it's way.  The 7 who answered "Automatic Cancellation and Refund" you lose.

[UncleBob]

And the winners are... "The Haunted Mansion" voters.

Le sigh.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I WON!?? really!? what did I win?

[vudu]

I, too, voted for Haunted Mansion.  Gimme a prize.

If you get NCAA Football 1999 for the Xbox, then you will have gotten a game that came out for a system two years before launch.  That's GOTTA be worth something.

I'd say the chances of anyone getting Masters of the Universe are *pretty slim*, seeing as the game was never released.
