I keep wondering why things like this gets in the news. Yes it is news, but still.
If I would get such a mixe up, I would go to the store and report it, ask for an exchange. Someone must be really wanting that 15 minutes of fame, to contact any kind of news source and give them this kind of story.
Pick up game, find out it's not the one you purchased, quick contact the media, stop the presses, go on Oprah! Anything but get an exchange...
