Wal*Mart says sorry with gift cards

So, the whole Wal*Mart fiasco over Super Smash Bros. is getting resolved by way of $10 gift cards. If you have no idea what I’m talking about then here’s the quick and dirty. WM was offering the game for pre-order for the low, low price of $20 when in reality it’s a $50 game. Obviously everyone and their mom ordered the game thinking they scored a sweet deal, but all orders were immediately canceled.

Thanks for sending this in Joe
