I got ‘PS’ed&Stoned for Xmas!!
Someone swapped in the North Korean version.
What kind of rocks? Could it have been a cocaine or meth shipment?
It’s a common scam.
But something, weight the box with a brick or rocks, the return it for a full refund.
Retailers should open the box and do an inventory before issuing a refund. But, most don’t.
“it was a previously returned item and that it felt a bit heavy”
..and this is why I purchase from Amazon...not that this couldn’t happen...but when an item is returned it should have been checked by the employees...that’s why they need to be union and paid $15 an hr! (sarc/)
I buy new and make sure everything is in place on an item like that before I even walk out of the store...
We lived in Stapleton for 3 years, and I can confirm the Walmart in question is probably the worst in the world.
Several years ago I bought an ink cartridge for my printer at Walmart. When I opened it, I noticed the internal packing had been torn open. A quick look showed I had an empty cartridge in the package.
Someone had bought the cartridge, carefully opened it, took out the cartridge and replaced it with an empty one, reglued it shut, then returned it to Walmart for a refund.
I took it back, explained the situation and they allowed me to get a new cartridge.
Now I’ve learned to check the edges for any tampering before I buy one.
A box of rocks is a much better gift for a 13 year old than game station.
The Blaze is re-reporting an urban myth?
Figures.
I’m pretty anal about not buying anything that looks like its been opened or returned. I haven’t ever had this happen, but have bought something where all the internal packaging had been opened and small parts were missing.
Wal Mart might consider being just as anal when taking back $500 returns...as in look in the box themselves.
A PS4 for his niece?
I wish he was my uncle.
One of my biggest pet peeves about the internet age is news headlines that are deliberately made uninformative in order to get more clicks.

I bought 4 1 Gigabyte memory sticks from Best Buy a few years back. When I got home, 2 out of the 4 where 128M sticks. Inspecting the packaging afterwords, I noticed the two with the 128M inside had a precise slit at the top made by razor blade I guess, with enough room to remove and insert another memory stick.
They never complained and accepted them back and replaced them with verified 1 Gbyte sticks.
Isn’t this similar to the USA on Tuesday, January 20, 2009?
We can’t even get a refund, thanks to all those LIVs.
Ha!
If he paid with a credit card he should be good. Don’t know about a MasterCard or Visa debit card.
I got my son an electric drill one year and when we opened it the damn thing was empty. Luckily I had shopped at the hardware store in question for years so they didn’t challenge my truthfulness.
I guess its better than finding a live cobra . . .
