Yesterday our Consumerist bros reported on a foul little bait-and-switch FYE pulled on their Wii customers during launch.

Last night a reader wrote to us to point out that FYE isn't the only retailer bending their customers over to make a Wii extra money.

Yes, I saw the FYE bait and switch video. ToysRus pulled a quick one on us too. After waiting 5 hours in line for my preorder, I found out on launch day that I was required to buy one game and a 25 dollar warranty. The lady in front of me calmly negotiated with the clerk but was promptly rejected. No information about this requirement was made. <//blockquote>

If I recall, Best Buy tried this shit with the Xbox 360 and had their collective asses handed to them by a collective of angry Attorney Generals. Let's hope Toys R Us gets introduced to this legal daisy chain too.
