Looked through the first few pages, and didn't see mention of this...so here I am, trying to give back to the community that I've lurked in for a while now.
Picked up an E-Reader at Wal-Mart today for $12.00, and they had the BBAs and Modem Adapters for similarly cheap prices, between $10-15. Good deals on this stuff, if you're interested.

I have a bunch of e-reader sets I got for about a quarter each, so if I can get an e-reader that cheap it'll be less than $2 a game.

The BBA adapter is tempting just to have a CAt5 cable running from my GC to my switch and make people ask what it's for. Nintnedo has taken such a timid approach to online support that most people don't know the thing exists.

I hope people find these, but in my experience, Walmart clearance deals are as YMMV as they come.

Yeah about a year ago i found Ps2 network adaptors for 15 dollars a piece, they had like 40 of them! I only picked up 1 because well i didnt realize how expensive they were. They had them for like 3 weeks then all of a sudden they were going. I think one of the employees snagged them and put them on ebay...

Well, these have been on clearance at my Wal-Mart for a little while, but they just recently dropped into my cheapass price range, so I decided to finally post 'em. :)

I've been wanting an E-reader for some time. I hope this one pans out at my Wal-Mart, because the Wal-mart deals are some of the most YMMV deals out ther. Even more so than K-mart IMO.

This is definitely YMMV. I picked up an action replay for my GC for $5 on clearance at one Walmart, the other one in the area still has them on clearance for $20. I think it's all up to the manager as far as the clearance pricing goes, the actual items on clearance may be national though.

Sweet. I'll have to check out my local WalMart at some point this week. Been wanting a BBA for my GC for a while now.

My Wal-Mart had a GCN modem adapter for $12 about three months ago.

The only gaming things on clearance now is the last of the GBA accessories (not SP) and some third party start-up packs with controllers, memory cards, etc.

Since I'll be going to BestBuy Tuesday for Kill Bill I'll probably stop by and see if anything was added.

Me too. I hope my Wal-Mart has it. Thanks for the deal Darkwing.

My Walmart didn't have anything on sale, I'm really looking for a cheap BB Adapter so I can play MK:DD on system link.

I picked up my 2nd BBA for the GCN last year at $15, Walmart clearance. Clearances seem to vary from store to store, I always like to check every week or so.

Last month I picked up a gcn action replay for $8, and I've gotten plenty of random accessories for cheap in the past, too. Controller extensions (.99 ea.), GBA SP case (had several official ones available, ranging from $3-8), link cables, controllers, etc.

Pretty good for some kitchen appliances, too, but that's off subject. Walmart has some pretty good clearances sometimes.
