    My mum asked me what I wanted and I told her, either Jasmine Beckitt Griffith Halloween OR Mermaids colouring book. Well, she got me the fantasy art one, which I already had and which is why I didn't say that one...I told her about it and she said she will exchange it.
    Tell him imo, otherwise he has just basically wasted his money.

    I think if you read back a few posts, the OP did tell him.

    I just wanted to update this.

    Last night, as I noticed the erroneous game was still in the kitchen, I asked him how much it cost him with a view to buying it off him for what he paid, instead of him taking it back for a refund. I had noticed that this game was about £18 online.

    He told me that it cost him £50, as he bought the steelbook edition with all the DLC included, so I told him to take it back, which he did today.

    I just wanted to set the record straight over the fact that I was accused of wanting a "more expensive" present, when I clearly told him that the game I wanted was available for £20, which turns out that it was £30 cheaper than the one he got me, so the cost of it really had NOTHING to do with it whatsoever.

    Just wanted to set the record straight, I now have Hitman 2 and am enjoying playing it, until I need to switch it off because Luther is on!!

    I wouldn't have worried about it. Someone s always going to get their knickers in a twist about something that wasn't mentioned anywhere because they just love to etxrapolate incorrect inferences...
    Glad you're enjoying it :)
