Wal-Mart apologizes for Super Smash Bros. Brawl mistake

If you’re one of the people who caught Wal-Mart napping on a US$ 19.82 pre-order price on Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii, you probably know by now that it was much too good to be true. However, Wal-Mart wants to apologize for giving you false hope and the retailer is doing it in style. Find out how in the full article.

When Wal-Mart accidentally posted the pre-order price of Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl at US$ 19.8, fans jumped on the “deal” with glee. Shortly after, Wal-Mart noticed it and cancelled all the pre-orders which tried to take advantage of the mistake.

Apparently, those who tried to pre-order the wrong-priced game got a generic email from Wal-Mart informing them that the retailer acknowledges the cancellation of the transaction on the part of the consumers. Upset, some trooped to the Internet to flame Uncle Wally.

Wal-Mart is now acknowledging their mistake and is offering a nice apology in the form of a US$ 10 electronic gift card. Those who had their pre-orders cancelled can use it to shave off 10 bucks when they order Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii at its real price.
