In before the morality police tell you you're going to hell. Haha

Did a B2G1 free on gamestop.com and it actually gave me B2G2. I don't know if it's because one of the games was the Gears of War Triple Pack (2.5 games technically), but still, was pretty awesome

I went to (store shall remain nameless) years ago when Super Mario 64 for DS released and the employee just put the game out on the shelf like it came from the supplier ( I'm guessing) which was 4 copies of the game shrink wrapped together as one. Was sitting on a regular shelf and not locked behind glass like now. I grabbed the game(s) and went to the front of the store and the clueless cashier just scanned the barcode on the back and I got charged for one game instead of four. Yeah, I felt a little guilty but damn it, I have and continue to spend tons of money at said store as its one of my favorite stores.

Everyone elses is game related, but years ago at Kmart I was buying a new lawnmower (MSRP around $300) and it rang up.... $15. Cashier just shrugged and said have a nice day.

Although it sucks that someone got screwed out of their WE because of this, I'm glad Digital River lost money.

This was back when Hollywood Video was closing and liquidating all of their movies. I bought 15 blu rays off their website for about $80. The next month, I get my bank statement and it shows Hollywood Video charging me twice for the 15 movies. But underneath that, it shows Hollywood Video refunding me 3 times. Never understood and didn't get charged again. So they basically paid me $80 to take 15 movies from them.

Back when castlevania SoTN first came out I was at target and I was about 12 yrs old and I asked one of the cashiers to check the price and BAM!! $4.99 came up I was like " I'm sorry can you scan it again " so he did and I said "ok I'll buy it" I will never forget that day

I've had a few. Nothing huge, but I've gotten some free games.

Once I bought a computer, along with Eternal Sonata. The cashier scanned my computer and bagged it. He then bagged Eternal Sonata, but apparently never scanned it. I got home and realized it wasn't even on the receipt. So I got it "free" with my computer basically.

Another time I bought a bunch of seasons of shows from Walmart on Black Friday for $10 each. A few weeks later I decided I didn't want a couple of them so I returned them (didnt have the receipt). They gave me back the full price for each season I returned instead of the $10 Black Friday price I bought them for. I did not correct them.

Another time was with Best Buy. I had ordered Little Big Planet 2 Collectors Edition x3 during a B2G1 I think it was. I dont really remember what happened but I ended up cancelling the order but receiving them anyway and I was never charged.

Just recently I ordered the Zelda Hyrule Historia Limited Edition book from Barnes and Noble and it was cancelled by them with no notice. They ended up sending a copy anyway and I never got charged for it.

There's been a lot of online errors and such that I've gotten in on. The biggest was a few years ago when the MS store had an error where I ended up with 6 copies of Dragon Age, 6x Assassins Creed, and 6x 3 month live subs for like $12.

I ordered season 1 through 4 of Battlestar Galactica (blu-ray) online from Walmart and chose in-store pickup. I think they were around 17.99 per season. I arrived home and found that they didn't charge me for two of them. I did go back to the store to see what happened, the cashier just laughed at me and told me to go home. (Yes, it was to satisfy my morality). Turns out I ended up with all 4 seasons for $40.00. (happy)

I've had a few land in my favor. Most recently, I purchased Assassins Creed III at Gamestop for the Wii U. They left the sale sticker on for $39.99 (it's currently back up to the regular price, that particular price was from either last week or the one before).

The register rang it up at $59.99 and I said to the cashier, "I think you got the price wrong, boy." And he starred at the register, bewildered and shamed, stuttering discordant babble. He told me the sale price must have expired, to which I said "Fiddle." Gasping for air he choked out, "I'll fix it, sir", and he promptly did, to no credit of his own.

As I left the store he bid me good day; I responded to his pedestrian commonality a parting word of "Perhaps."

Last year I used an Amazon gift card to buy some Xbox 360 games. When they came in the mail there were two packages. I was shocked, because I only ordered one of each. The next day I contacted customer service and they said to return the extra copies. When they received the extra copies I had noticed that they had refunded my gift card. So I basically got two games for free.

Around 9 months after PSP was released, TRU had 128MB memory stick duo's (or whatever the memory card was called) on clearance for $4.98. They also had a promotion running at the same time where all PSP memory sticks were $5 off. They rang up for $0.00 at the register.

Also at TRU, they had Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for XBox and PS2 not for resale copies that were supposed to be free with the pre-order of some game (I think it was NBA Ballers or Area 51). After the pre-order promotion was over, those copies of Midway Arcade Treasures 2 rung up for $0.01 each. The same thing happened at Circuit City with the Star Wars Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds Combo Disc that was supposed to be free with an XBox purchase. They had it tagged $99.99 and I guess it changed to free when bought with an XBox but after that promotion ended, the game rang up for $0.01 on it's own.

I ordered some 2 Dreamcast games from Amazon around 2000. They sent me the order and then the exact same order a few days later and only charged me once. I contacted them and they said to just keep the games.

I don't remember the numbers on this one since it was a long time ago, but this is the gist of what happened.

I was getting Sears to pricematch one of the SSX games on the PS2. Don't remember why. At any rate, the guy rang it up with the price match and quoted me a price significantly lower than it should have been. I paused, then explained to him that his math was off. He replied back telling me that *I* was wrong and his way-too-low price was correct. I shrugged and said "OK, whatever you say". Hey, I tried.

I must say, many of you are incredibly lucky or devious liars

I just remembered another incident, I was at the Lego store a few months back. I went up to the register and for what ever reason that I don't recall I tell them I didn't want a $40 set that I just brought up after all. I go home and unpack the items out of the bag and see the set is in there. I quickly checked my receipt because I was certain I they removed the item and it sure was.

Did you keep them?

I've had many times where I've been given the wrong amount of change back from a cash purchase. Sometimes a different denomination was inadvertenly stuck in the wrong cash drawer slot (such as a $10 bill in the $1 slot). Other than that, I don't understand how it happens, when a lot of point-of-sale systems actually show you how much of each bill and/or change to give back.

I always let them know about their error and give the overage back. I used to work at a large convenience store chain when I was going through college, and if the count was off by even a penny I had to make up the difference. Needless to say I was pretty diligent about counting back the change properly and would go months without a discrepancy. The kids (and adults) working these jobs can't afford to make up what might amount to an hour's work on a mistake like that.

I've got friends, however, that say "F'em. Their bad. I'll buy lottery tickets with my 'free' money."

This one time in Walmart I noticed they had put the last copy of Naruto Shippuden volume 9 (priced $29.96) in the empty slot for Naruto Shippuden the Movie 2 (priced $15.96). This being Walmart, the price label just said "NARUTOFF" so I decided to go ahead and try. Electronics cashier went to the shelf and checked, then had to get manager approval, but got the OK. To top it off, he marked it down to $15 even.

A couple of days before christmas this last year I bought a TV from BB. The day after christmas it goes on sale $100 cheaper. I called and got $100 refunded to my card. About a week after that another $100 was refunded to my card. I checked the price thinking it must have gone down again, nope, it was now $200 more than I originally paid.

I was purchasing an Xbox (OG) game from Bestbuy and gave the cashier a giftcard to use on the order. I had about $5+ left on the card , but the cashier must have been new because she fumbled around with it for a few minutes before asking how much was on the card.

She gets a panicked look on her face, hands me a receipt, and tells me to just go. I wasn't sure how to respond, so we go back and forth a bit before I finally say "Thanks!" and head out.

Also, her semi-attractive nipple was hanging out of her bra.
