    They have your name/number, if they catch the mistake then great, take it back, if not, not your problem. That's how I'd see it anyways.

        If it's God's will then they will call him, wouldn't you agree?

          No, I still think it is wrong. What if a place gave you back to much change, would you return it? Same thing here at least to me.

            I'd keep it...I'd rationalize it by the fact that FYE horribly gouges consumers, doesn't make it right though.

              I actually did this exact same thing a few years ago. I returned a copy of The Sims to Walmart, only to get home and find The Sims disc was still sitting in my computer's CD tray.

              I felt kind of bad, but I never did anything about it and still have the disc somewhere. Oh well, Walmart is evil anyway.

                I'm a horrible person because I would keep the game, and the extra change.

                  Putting a bit of a reversal on your situation, Blockbuster didn't call me back when I left my copy of Tekken Tag Tournament in a rental PS2. If they don't realize the mistake then I'd say don't bother.

                          Okay now the flip side to this as a poster referred to, does anyone honestly believe if I left NCAA 2008 in a NCAA 2006 case that FYE would contact me about the mistake?

                          I honestly don't believe that they would. Here is how I have chosen to view it from a legal perspective. I made an offer to FYE, they chose to accept it. If a mistake was made, it was on their end, and as such I do not believe I have any liability to them (fully aware some arguments can be made that I would). So I have chosen to keep the game unless they call, at which point I'll return it.

                            What ever floats your boat. If you have no problem that is cool, I can't do that. I am just to honest. lol I know, but that is just how I am. When I get the wrong change back I give it back. Even once well fargo put 10,000 in my account and I told them. They said they would have never caught that mistake. Oh well.

                              I view it the same way as you, I am honest too but if you are stupid enough to not notice something like this and call someone on it then you deserve the loss. It's no different than buying a car and never looking to see if it has a steering wheel in it. If you never notice it then you deserve being hosed.

                                I'd take a marker and right a 6 over the 8 in 2008, keep it in your 06 case... and wallah... you now have NCAA 06.
