Guy buys Madden, Gets blanked CD with "Redneck S**T"

January 26, 2009 in News comments 21

Man would you hate to get this as present. A guy goes to Walmart and buys Madden for with his christmas money. Only to get a blank CD with the words "Redneck Sh*t" written all over it.

When Michael's son used his Christmas money to buy a copy of Madden 09 from Walmart, he thought he was buying a copy of Madden 09, not a blank disc that said "Redneck Sh*t."

Michael writes:
I have been a long time reader of The Consumerist and until now never thought I would send anything your way.

Late on On Saturday night we went to our local Walmart to get an xbox360 game for our Son. He wanted Madden 09 and was spending his own money that he got for Christmas. We purchased the game then went on home it was late and he couldn't the game so he waited until Sunday afternoon.

When he opened the game all I heard was "WHAT IS THIS" and he ran to me and showed me the game and to my surprise this is what I saw see attached photos.
I immediately called Walmart and asked for a manager and explained to her what we found she asked if it was sealed and I told her yes with the security stickers and everything. She wanted me to come in now with the game I had to tell her I was unable to due to not having a vehicle available the then asked that I come in on Monday between 8am and 5pm and ask for her.

      Would you be as happy if you got a disc with the words "Murdering Idiot" or there abouts when you purchased GTAIV instead of the actual game? I think not. (To me that game is utter rubbish itself, much more so than EA shovelware).

    Whoever put that in there should be called a hero and given the rights to every piece of EA shovelware in the world.

    I beg to differ. I don't care how bad the game is, a kid whose excited to get a game with his own money, and get home to play it only to find trash like that in it . . . the person should be prosecuted at the very least (theft).

      He also offened American Football fans, calling them rednecks.

      This is not going to go down well.

      If it played porn, I very much doubt he'd have complained

    Maybe he should check the disc before going home. What harm can that make?

    That's what he gets for buying games at Wal-Mart. They take anything back and put it on the shelves like it's brand new. Great for returning stuff, but not exactly for buying it.

      It only would've made the article that much better. Especially a nice wet sloppy shit inside the box.

    This is what you get for not opening the damn box to check the game ; ;

    But the person who replaced the game could have done something cooler, like instead of a turd (as was mentioned above) how about a turd in the shape of a football?

      Well, when I bought some games last weekend, I put them in the back of the car in a shopping bag, and didn't open them untill I got home. So really, not all people look at the discs as they go home for no reason.

        Exactly what I do. I get the game but am not so eager as to look at the disc the moment I buy it. Nor am I suspicious to make sure I bought the right thing, otherwise I'd be chacking out EVERYTHING I buy before going home. Groceries, electronics, nic-nacs. I'd be there all day and I already hate shopping as it is!
