EB Games 360 instore special

This is in regards to the EB/Gamestop offer that apparently expired on 1/2/07. The deal was, trade in any original xbox and get $80 credit towards the 360. So apparently the deal ended Tuesday, but as of yesterday and today, the gamestop by my work had the signs up, no expiration date listed on any signs. I take my systems & acces. to the first eb at my mall, no signs, won't help. I quick run down to the EB by my work and they still have the sign up. The guy says no, the promo has ended, I say the sign is up, I would like the offer honored (wasn't too much to ask since they made the mistake of leaving it up) He calls the manager who says try it. I can get the $80 credit but not sure if the free game and 1 year service plan will work. He does my trade in stuff and goes to ring it up. THe game and service plan won't be taken by th ecomputer since the promo is over. I ask polietly is there anything he knows that can be done. He says no. Mind you this is now 8pm at night, i've been there for 30 min just getting my trade ins done. I take the $80 credit and tell the guy, i know its not his fault and he did what he could and I appreciated that. I leave and tomorrow in the morning i'm going to call the manager and explain the situation and ask for the game (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare) and service plan be added post-sale. If no luck, I'm going to ask for their supervisor.

Am I in the right for asking for the full promotion to be honored since they kept it advertised and I walked in the door. I would assume in retail that they would have to honor it in full or give me some kind of equal compensation? I'll keep you posted
