My brother bought Skate, left the shop, opened the box and it had Skate 2 inside. Disk AND manual were both in the box. Made me laugh.
Ever buy a game, but instead get a completely different game?

Well once I bought a copy of a Robert Mitchum / Shelley Winters film that turned out to be a cheap remake. (I guess that's going to happen a lot more these days.)philzibit said:
I've had a few Megadrive cartridges turn out to contain completely the wrong game once or twice when renting, but nothing more than that.
Went to a local car boot sale and bought a Rolf Harris Record for a laugh, and got some Christian hymn shit, twas not pleased was i...
I wanted to buy Final Fantasy X, so I went to the store and bought it. The first thing I did was take off the big price sticker on front of the case covering up 10% of it. So I scratched it off, Only to stare at a "x-2" for ten second, the fricking price tag covered up the "-2"!! So I wanted to buy FFX, but instead bought FFX-2. Well, since I bought it, let's give it a try. I opened the case only to have my head implode once again. This wasn't FFX OR FFX-2, it was FFXII! So let me get this straight, I tried to buy FFX, picked up the case for FFX-2 with that evil price tag, and the clerk put FFXII in the case... What a day. What I think happened is that she though that FFX-2 was the same as FFXII, 2 and II are the same right? -_-; All this had a rather beneficial effect though, I payed 25 euros, but FFXII at that time was 59,99 euros! Plus I really enjoyed FFXII, what an awesome day.
I remember that game. I couldn't make crap out of it. It made no sense! But I was like, nine then so...untelligence said:
On the plus side, you got those other games. All on one disc.WyteNite said:
I bought a Spyro: Year of the Dragon disc only a couple day back. When I opened it, Spyro: Ripto's Rage. Sweet, I thought, I've actually been looking more for that one anyway.
A friend of mine bought a used copy of Fallout 3, took it home and opened the box - this is a PC game mind you - he got Halo 2 for the old Xbox. Cross, he took it back. They said that the Halo was a better game, and was he sure he wouldn't prefer it. Now realising that they were trying to save money - charge for Fallout and give away something completely different.
Cunningly he found a used copy with the actual Fallout 3 disc in it, put it in a Halo 2 box, took it up to the counter and said that he would, in fact like the game, and that he did have an Xbox. He paid for Halo 2, and walked home quite happily with Fallout, laughing at how he had gotten this great deal. When I pointed out that there was something morally ambiguous about that, he looked for the receit so he could apologise and pay properly. Then he realised that he never got a refund for the Fallout disc, and still paid for Halo 2.
I found this very amusing, especially when they wouldn't refund his money, as they were baffled as to what game, box or receit was what.

I haven't had anything like that happen to me before. The closest thing to that would be when I took Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door back to Blockbuster (I rented it), but I forgot to take the disc out of my Gamecube. To this day, it still sits in my Gamecube when I'm not using it.
Although I do remember a story on Gamespot a few years back about a kid who purchased the latest Madden game for Xbox 360, only to discover that what he got was a disc that contained hours upon hours of...X-rated material. It was a brand-new copy, so it really makes you wonder how the hell something like that could've happened.
