Naw, Sears has taken down the ad! My chick works at Walmart and called me yesterday telling me some one just came in and got two Wii U's for 130 bucks. I did't have any extra cash or I would have went apeshit and hit every Walmart in the area.
Or you can buy a broken one off Ebay, buy a new one from walmart, swap the internals and take it back for a refund.
There's many things wrong with doing that... one being you screw over a customer who buys the one you returned.
Secondly you have to open the box to do that. And even if you somehow do convince them to take it back, the serial number won't match what's on the box.
Screwing over big corporations is fine but don't screw over potential customers please.

I can confirm that the walmart my chick works at checks the serial numbers, that's all they look for. I have bought every model of the 3DS and returned them, kept the SD cards for all of them(asshole move I know), all they ever looked for was the serial number.

Not sure if genuine or sarcasm, either way I got the Club Nintendo points for every one of them.
I got a Zelda 3DS XL a while back and the right trigger went bad a week later so I returned it (with the Zelda code used; I did a system transfer back to my old XL before returning it). I exchanged it for another Zelda 3DS XL and gave my brother the code for it.
I am sure Nintendo puts a new code in the box when they ship it back out after fixing it anyway. (if it does not end up back on the shelf)

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
