CONFIRMED:

Went to K-MARt in Springboro. Ad misprint on circular in store. Walked it back and the guy overrides even though he did state it was a mistake. I was able to get it at the 19.99 price in the circular. THANKS OP!!!!!

Edit: Springboro, OH

If it rang up at 39.99, I think it's pretty clear that the ad meant $10 off but mistakenly put $19.99.

Where did you get the circular at? I looked at the ad with the Sunday paper and I didn't see it?

If that's the case, everyone should go out and get the game before they change the it. Just a heads up.

I got it in store. The gaming counter had a stack as well

My Target refused to price match it because it was a $30 off difference. Went to Kmart and the game rang up as $39.99. Brought the ad and managed to get the game for $19.99, but this is definitely an ad misprint. If you're going to try make sure to bring the ad and I'd advise you not to wait.

wtf my Kmart it rang up as 49.99. Is it in the print ad?

here's a pic.

sorry im a retard and couldn't figure out how to embed it ;_;

wow, it's 2012 and kmart still requires manager overrides for sale items. Still this is a good deal if you have the patience to deal with kmart staff.

Wow it's 2012 and all stores require a manager override for price mistakes in ads.

i hope you're not actually defending kmart here. Even since their SC2 sale when that released in 2010, they haven't been able to work out the kinks in the system and ads matching, which I might add was a legitimate sale.

Kmart sucks but your statement is nonsensical. It's clearly a price mistake in the ad. Any retailer would still need a manager override since a price mistake IN THE AD would mean its not programmed into the pos.

Just looged in for the first time in like 6 months, uhh what happened to the Josh and Kmart/Sears Crew? did they pull the plug?

Kmart wouldn't honor it, but I took the ad to Walmart down the street and they price matched it. : )

Josh was let go roughly two months or so. That's why there hasn't been that many coupon offers with the purchase of a new game. It sucks because he was getting us some awesome deals. Didn't work for me though because I never buy games on release date (thanks to site ).

This thread keeps getting better and better. I hope more people are able to get in on this deal. That's the rule with sales like this. It's better to get their first thing in the morning if this is indeed a price mistake. We all remember the PS+ deal at Target, and the 2 for $50 deal at TRU.

So despite the price showing 19.99 in the physical print ad, the manager refused to override it. At first she stated there was "another version" that was 29.99. Then when that was debunked she just flat out refused to sell it to me for 19.99. The service desk associate was pretty cool about it and said I was in the right. Unfortunately what the manager says goes. At this point my frustration started to boil over to anger, so I just grabbed the print ad and told them I'd go pricematch it at Wal-Mart. Which they did without issue.

It is obvious that this is a price error, but it's still absurd that they won't honor their Sunday print ad. I've come out ahead way more often than not at K-Mart though, and this is the first remotely bad experience I've ever had with them.

Oh well, I've got the game for the price I wanted to pay.

Oh really? I know they let go of most of his staff but didn't know he was fired too.

Yeah I saw it posted around here recently. It's a shame really. He pretty much got people back into K-Mart to shop for games. I remember I bought 2K11 on launch because it came with a $20 coupon. I used that coupon on Rock Band 3. I wanted both of those games so I didn't mind paying that. Since then I've been peeping out their deals and whatnot.

BTW: My local K-mart sucks when it comes to clearance. They have the Rockband 3 Keyboard Bundle at $59.99 I was going to buy it was $15 or less. Hopefully they have some more drops. They have a ton of games sitting there that won't move. Maybe the original FF for $10 (PSP) will. /rant

Unfortunately, the store has the right to charge what they want regardless of any ad, sticker or ten foot high sign. Once I got a ship to store deal that fry's cancelled and removed the item from shelves.

It's dishonest, and it's $20 the manager, clerk or whoever is never going to see, but still they'll gladly accept a fight, as theyre getting paid to be there and you're not. It's hard not to feel cheated, but dont get too worked up about it, it's just money. I'm glad it did work out in the end.

Yeah the situation was frustrating, but I got what I wanted in the end. It's not like I'm going to stop shopping there or anything. And I guess you could still say it was K-mart that allowed me to get the game for the price I wanted anyway.

I've had this situation happen countless times in K-mart and this is the first time I've ever had any push back on it.
