Target False Advertising raleigh, North Carolina

This Saturday I was shopping for a new HD tv. Target had a display offering this vizio tv model: E3D470VX  for 699.99. I knew this was a great deal. I spent most of my day shopping all over town for a better deal. I realized that was the tv I wanted, so I went to make the purchase. I got home, unpacked the tv, and noticed the instruction manual mentioned nothing about 3D or WIFI capabilities (as the ad offered). Turns out they sold me this tv: E470VA. I figured they grabbed the wrong tv, accidents do happen after all. I get to the store to make the exchange and it turns out they do not even have the model they were advertising... not just in that store/in stock, in any store! I told them I feel like I should be able to buy the advertised tv at the advertised price. The manager pretty much told me it was not her problem and there was nothing she could do.

I ended up buying a nicer tv at walmart, so blessing in disguise. I just  feel that Target should NOT advertise something that they dont even carry... especially when it is such a great deal. It was incredibly misleading and having a store manager try to make me feel like I was wrong when they had a false ad was not a great way to end the experience.

Please check out the attached picture. Notice the features listed. When i called the guy at target to discuss the problem he told me he was looking at the ad on the wall and it didnt say 3d or internet connected... my cell phone says otherwise.
