Hi there.  I just have a question about an ad I saw in the MacWarehouse
catalog about a game called Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye (not Shanghai 2.0).
The ad talked about it in their new product section, and when I called
they said that they had two in stock.  I called around the local places and
they said that it was only out for IBM computers, so I called MacWarehouse
again and then after I questioned them about both Shanghai 2.0 and 
Shanghai II they admitted that they didnt have it yet and that the order
number supplied under the ad was that for v2.0, though they did add that
Shanghai II would be out sometime in March.

I guess my question is 

1) Does anybody know about this game and if it will come out in March?

and

2) Does MacWarehouse do this sort of false advertising all the time?

It kind of ticks me off that they would advertise something that isnt even
out yet and then ship out 2.0 (the second time I called, they were out of
stock of 2.0).
