<strong>I got better...
I bought Red Alert, in a shrinkwrapped box, and they went out the back and got the cds (dual cd game). When I got home, the box still had the its cds in it, so i got 2 copies of it 
I sold one copy for the price it cost me to buy the addon pack hehe </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">sounds like one of my Coworkers. he preordered on copy of Dugean Seige, and when he received his order there was two copys in the box with the invoice showing that he purchased one copy.

Whoa dude, I can relate completely. Once, in college, my Kraft (none of that generic poo) macaroni and cheese (or is it cheese and macaroni?) didn't contain the magic orange dust packet!! I was furious. Throw in a can of peas and that was a gourmet meal I had been looking forward to. Ahh college...
Okay, maybe I can't relate.

So I took the empty box back to FutureShop (for my US friends, think CompUSA) today and got it exchanged - no questions asked - even though the receipt clearly stated that opened software could not be exchanged or refunded.
I have to give it to them for that. They gave me no hassle whatsoever.

Yup.
Right in the store as soon as the box hit my hand.
Before I even reached the cash registers!

Those are what I call "break time at the factory".
Down the assembly line go the software boxes when the lunch bell rings. Or someone like me is working there when they are bored and they go, "hmmm let's put a little mystery into someone's day"
"And just when I thought today couldn't get anymore poo-like." -Outcoded
