ARGOS JUST SOLD ME A GameCube! And then they took it back off me!!!!!!!!

I was walking past Argos near my home and seen a poster GameCube now in stock i was like WOW I went in and asked are you selling them now then man went off and came back said YES! I made a quick phone call to ask about my pre order at Dixons and would they refund it I was again told YES so excited i asked for a GameCube a mem card and Luigi! He was putting it though the till im still amazed im actually getting it! Then he said that will be �211 I was like hu umm no? I said oh u chared my �169.99 not the �129.99 like it says on the poster. So he went off and came back about 15 min later saying oh its a different GameCube I was like what do u mean then the manager came over said yes its a dif GameCube this one comes with a controller the one on the poster we don't get into Friday i said "Sorry but there is only one pack Nintendo only ships it with a controller" he said i can give it to u at �169.99 not �129.99 I just said "Look u have a poster saying u have it in stock for �129.99 there is NO other kind of cube" He called services and he came back saying "oh i cant sell u it now" I was like what i held the bloody thing i have even paid for it!!!!! He said ill give u your refund i was like no u have a poster saying its on sale u have told me i can get it i have even bought it now u saying i cant!!!! He said the poster was only for preorders! VERY VERY ANNOYED I asked i want head offices number he game it to me!

I went home called them then they said they would ring me back then i called trading standards and the bloke was like oh i want one of those and no they cant do that so took my number they rang me back i told them what happened they r gonna look into it! Then Argos called back said we r really sorry the person who served u was new and did not know (thats crap because he told me the manager said i could have it he EVEN said the other manager when he was arguing with me that, she said i could have it i could have it!) But in the end i got a FREE game of my choice! WOOHOO! but i cant get back in tough with trading standards though so i dunno what they r gonna do cos i have accepted the game!

So on launch I am getting Luigi, star wars and burnout but I'm getting 25% off burnout and luigi so i don't ant a free one of them plus im getting star wars in the bundle from dixons so what OTHER game shall i get? I was thinking maybe sonic? but its had bad reviews or maybe wave race but its not my type of game so i dunno what to get free cos i don't want to get a game i don't want just cos its free if u get what i mean! HELP ME PICK!

Angrist (Holland):
At 2h09 PM I read on this site that in some countries, the GameCube was already being sold.
Two minutes later I got a call from 'Free Record Shop', one of the stores where I had reserved a GameCube, telling me that they were already selling the Cube. Since I didn't want to buy the GameCube there (because 'Bart Smit' and Media Markt had a better offer), I first called Media Markt. They told me they didn't have any GameCubes yet!

So me and my bro went into town to see if 'Bart Smit' was also already selling it. Forunately, they were! They had already sold 3 of them when we came in. I asked how many reservations they had: 15, while they had only received 12 Cubes. They were calling all the people who had reserved it.
I bought Rogue Leader with it, I'm in the 5th level or something.

Oh yeah, the controller is awesome!!
Cya!
