Another reason why not to trust Wal-Mart

I found this off an Image board I browse (Not saying which one), and this caught my eye.
As we all know how unreliable of a source Wal-mart is, why would it say 03/28/2008 when it should say 02/10/2008.


Meh, discuss




Edit: Please, try not to get off-topic or flame. k?

Hmm, maybe it is store specific or something.

Hm, but why would there be such a big gap in the dates, seems kinda Odd. Maybe Wal-mart likes to make us suffer and lives off our manly tears lol.

this is being heavily debated off a tangent in the 'New Release Date Announcement!' thread right on this very forum. lets just hope its not true.

This is not new info. It's a troll's copypasta that showed up on the internet several days ago.

Why do we care about what Wal-Mart says? It's what the Dojo, Nintendo, Sakurai(himself) says. Wal-Mart is low tier anyway and will get four stocked by Gamestop and even mid-tiers like Target.

Right. Stores are almost NEVER right. some may still say 2 weeks ago.

Wal-Mart low tier?! Ha, then GameStop must be over 9000 below bottom tier. I've never even been to Target because they're only in big cities, so I have no idea what it's like. But GameStop just sucks.

Walmart.com is a huge department website, you can't expect that they wouldn't make mistake.

Wait, um, what? When Brawl got delayed, it took months for stores to change the release from Dec. 3 to Feb. 10, and now Wal-Mart has the new release date ahead of everyone else? Though it worries me (any claim of the sort with the most minor evidence would) I'm crossing my fingers this is just a big mess made by Wal-Mart.

 

[Mr.Snifflez]

they knew the delay ahead of time..i guess..
