and I'm sorry, I also work in retail and hate it when people damand to get certain deal that was posted by mistake. people make mistakes, things get misprinted, it isn't the customer's job to exploit someones mistake and get something dirt cheap and take advantage of the company.

yeah it sucks you thought you were getting the guide and you didn't, but the fact is someone mislabled the item and that's life, you still got a good deal on the boxed game itself.
What you just described is false advertising. Definition by lawyers.com: the crime or tort of publishing, broadcasting, or otherwise publicly distributing an advertisement that contains an untrue, misleading, or deceptive representation or statement which was made knowingly or recklessly and with the intent to promote the sale of property, goods, or services to the public.

It is illegal.
