Product no longer available?

I bought an ION Drum Rocker from Futureshop last march, and i recently shipped it for the PRP. Now, when I called ahead to see if they had any in stock, they said that they did, but for $229.99. This confused me, as I bought mine for $299.99 (lowest price guarantee). I looked on the website for any indication as to why it was cheaper. I found my answer in the PS3 specialty controllers, which concluded that it was a lower price because they don't sell the Drum Rocker with the cymbals anymore. This upset me as the cymbals were the aspect of it that made it seem more realistic.
I know that the PRP says that it will try to replace the product as closely as possible, but this doesn't cut it for me. I bought it for the reason of realism, and now that element has been removed. It isn't acceptable to purchase something at one time, only to realize that they don't sell half of it anymore after you have sent it in.
Is there anyone that can give me any advice as to where to go with this, or any comments or suggestions? It would be most appreciated.

Under the PRP, when something is replaced, it is replaced with the same item, or if that item is no longer produced, one that is as close to the item as possible. In this case, it sounds like you are getting the latter. FS can't replace the product with something they cannot get.

Thank you for your reply.
I now understand that FS cannot replace what I had purchased a year ago. This may be off topic, but I have another question.
If I were to buy something with a gift card, and ended up returning that product, would i recieve another store credit because I used a gift card, or will I get cash/money deposited back instead?

The cymbols should still be included, at least with the products we still have left at my store-- Our shipment was from last year before Winter and the last one I checked (during December) had cymbols included.
If you return something, you get back the money in the form that you paid; in your case, store credit/gift card.
