Now that the Xbox Live version of Goldeneye has been halted the first leak in the wall of secrecy is above. Maybe some developer or laid-off game tester is ticked off that their work will never go live – maybe some fanboy just wants to screw with all of us. Regardless, we’re posting the vid.

Since the classic Goldeneye was awesome and the gameplay in the video (cover your ears audiophiles, sound bugs to cry over) looks sweet, we hope Nintendo and Microsoft will get a clue and realize this download could pull in some serious Microsoft Points payments.

Queue yet another PR disaster buy-off from a big corporation, to the tune of $10 per cheated customer. Walmart priced preorders for Super Smash Bros Brawl at $19.82 last week. Not long after the pricing error was all over the internet and Walmart canceled all the low-priced orders.

Today Walmart announced a $10 gift card is headed out to every buyer who had an order canceled … after all they’ve already got your addresses. If you’re one of the preorder buyers you can take the cookie and pick up Super Smash Bros Brawl for just $39.82 out of pocket.

This certainly isn’t the first time a big retailer hasn’t honored its online prices. It won’t be the last. We all know how this works too. Someone is sure to file a class action lawsuit. That probably won’t go anywhere because of some cop-out disclaimer on Walmart’s website.

All I really want to know is what Walmart is doing about any $70 orders for Apollo Justice. You may know better but what about that poor grandmother who bought a birthday gift when it was priced too high.
