So someone else initially tried to return the DS back to Wal-Mart. But instead of returning the merchandise, that person put some rocks instead?

Ive heard of people doing this. Ik someone that bought a ps3, took it out of the box, and put bricks inside the box and retunred it to walmart, they gave him credit and never checked inside the box.

Rats would have been better. If you fill a box with rocks it's heavy, but a box full of rats is heavy and rats! Also, how could they not notice, there's a hole in the back where you can see teh ds serial number,

I call fake...When you pick something up you can tell by the feel and sound if its rocks shaking around or something solid.

Something fishy is going on at all wall mart. First a kid finds porn on his psp, then a kid gets a bunch of rocks instead of a DS :?

i'd better not get a damn lizard with my DSI

Reminds me of when a kid bought a PSP game but it turned out to be porn on a UMD. Must of been one hell of a suprise.

I remembered a similar incident when some kid bought Madden on the 360 and it turned out to be a "different" type of pornography.

haha that's funny. poor kid for happening to him. how did that work.... when i bought my DS from gamestop they scaned the bar code on the DS. it had something like a little lid that showed the back of the DS. wouldn't they check to make sure it was there the last person who got a refund from it.

it is still none the less though. sounds like a good idea to do that.

Yeah, its happened at best buy before too. I worked in the computer department for about a year - we had this meeting regarding thefts. My best buy had 983274983274 DS's stolen it was pretty crazy; xbox 360's, too (and in the same way usually - we had an X360 box with a giant boulder in it)

Its not suprising its wal-mart if thats a clue, they continuely and often try to resell broken items as new and used items as new.
I've returned items before only to see them back on the shelf presented as new.

It was packed tight with newpaper, the rocks were in there to simulate the weight of the DS. I doubt this was a returned item though. One of the employees probably got himself a free DS

She's a mom who has probably never once played a videogame in her life. She probably thought the 'shaking' sound was normal. Or the rocks were so tightly compacted inside that it didn't shake at all.

In my local walmart I saw a guy buy Killzone 2 (I sold it to him) come back with a copy of NBa 2k7 (A 2006 game) and told be thats what he got in his box... called the big boss and he gave him another copy of killzone 2 jeez... in other words the guy got 2 Killzone 2 games for the price of 1 lol

Probably Nintendo's new marketing tactic to scare people into paying extra for a DSi.

LOL. Nice pun. Anyway, I'd be PISSED if I was in that situation. At least she had the problem sorted out. As for a pun of my own, I'll simply say, her son now can ROCK out to Guitar Hero. God, that was horrible...
