Just wondering if what your best in-store mix up was. For example finding a new game in a bargain bin or finding the full rock band kit for the price of the game itself on launch day, as I did. Anyone?

@ColinRyan: Wow, full Rock Band kit for $60? Nice. My best one was trading in $25 worth of craapy old PS1 games and getting a $55 store credit that I used a week later. Don't know how that happened...

Getting Pokemon Stadium two full days before the release date on the N64, I didn't even know that things like that could happen back then.

Got a pair of Doc Martins for $12 due to a price tag discrepancy. Still have them almost six years later.

My copy of CoD4 had a "Clearance: $5" sticker on it that belonged to a different game, took it to the front and rang it up. It came to $3.99.

I got Metroid Prime 3 and No More Heroes a couple of days before release. Otherwise, nothing.

not  a game, but i got a 46(ish) inch 720 hdtv at a very marked down price because they falsely advertised it as a 1080 and wanted to "make it up to me" ... it was pretty awesome... i forget the exact number but it was like 500 dollars off or something

Was that at release?

When I was able to get 2 games, for £5. Brand new, just released.

I was trading in my copy of NBA Street (worth 5 euro) when,to my pleasant surprise the guy mistook it for NBA Street 2 and gave me 40 euro. Good times were had by all.
