:D Guys a Walmart close to us just put these on special along with DDR2 for PS2. The DDR also has the dance pad included. Both are 10.00 The walmart is in Steubenville OH (I live in PA, but nor far). Anyway check your local Walmarts and see if they also have this great deal.

Called 5 Walmarts, 4 didn't have it and the 5th insisted it was $50 without checking the price. He said he didn't think they were on sale though.
P.S. The Walmart "on hold" music fucking sucks.

This smells like a prank to me. If a deal goes beyond requiring a pricing system screwup and ventures into "YMMV and only IF your store manager has been hitting the crack pipe while setting up the weekly sale ad" territory, then it's probably a prank. Still, we'll probably know soon enough.

I remember seeing the DDR2 w/ dancepad on clearance a few days ago at walmart, but the price was around $49.99(rollback from $69.99). I check their games every time I go there just to see if they have clearance stuff. So far, the only game that I got in the past couple months was Oddworld for XBox for under $10.

While I don't expect anyone to find this deal anywhere else, there is no reason to assume the guy is lying. Stores do odd stuff all the time. Give him the benefit of the doubt, it doesn't affect anyone else anyway.

Hah knew someone would mention this. That was a really rare case though, and it was a game that bombed very badly. Even then, the MSRP is still $19.99 and it was $9.99 only because Circuit City had that 50% off selected games period. FF:CC on the other hand, is a more successful game (it was the #1 game in February according to the NPD charts)
And yeah, the thread creator might be telling the truth but it doesn't hurt to say the deal may be YMMV. This sounds extremely YMMV

DDR was 19.99 at the walmart in Winter haven FL, but I missed out :(, and my local one had not done had it on sale
YoshiFan1
04-15-2004, 07:03 PM
I think it's very possible the games are $9.99. Unlike Target where if one store has a certain game on clearance, most if not all stores will have or had the game on clearance (at different price levels) where as at Walmart, an item can be on clearance at one store and full price at another store since clearances at Walmart are on a store by store basis.
So it could just be that only that particular Walmart has those 2 games for $9.99
And if Target had the DDR Max 2 bundle for $14.98, it's possible Walmart could have it for $9.99

One time the Wal Mart near me had Crimson Skies for 10 dollars a few weeks after it came out. There is a possibility that he may be telling the truth, but it is only at that particular Wal Mart.

04-15-2004, 11:01 PM
OK, I just called 2 SuperCenters and one regular Walmart in my area. 1 doesnt have the game and it's $49.99 at the other 2 stores.

Hey Im new guys, but honestly call the store and ask them if they had the games for 10.00 with the link cable bundled. Also ask them if they had DDR Max 2 with the pad bundled for 10.00 I swear on whatever you guys want me to that its true. Wal Mart in Steubenville OH.

I bought 3 of the Final Fantasy's all are unopened one of them I already gave to my friend but I still have 2 sitting here. They both still have the 10 dollar price sticker on them and they are both still in the packaging its wal mart tags, but I dont know how else to prove to you guys that we got these games that cheap.. I could take a picture of the games ? but then you'd think that I faked the ticket.. You guys have no reason to believe me I guess, but why would I take the effort to do all this ?

well I just took 2 pictures of the games, and I'll get you the number tomorrow. Like I said I live in PA, but Stuebenville isnt that far away. The way we even found out about the deal is this. I work for EB Games, on conference call a manager at a store close to the wal mart in Steubenville told us that a customer came in and told him the games were 10.00 so all of us went to our neighboring wal marts to check out prices the ONLY store we found that had them that cheap is the Wal Mart in Steubenville OH. So I gave the manager 30 dollars to get me 3 copies of the game and whalaa I have 3 copies of the game (well 2 now), we bought them I'd say 5 days ago. I just remembered this morning to post the deal though, but I will get the number and you guys can call and ask if they had the game for $10.00 and for those that want pictures of the games with the walmart tag I'll be more than happy to email it to ya

04-16-2004, 12:15 AM
Okay I THINK :P this is the number to the wal mart... I'll call the guy tomorrow that picked them up for us and get the number for sure, but I did a zipcode search on the Wal Mart website and this was the only Stuebenville store listed soooo here you go.

PLEASE call and see for yourselves though lol.

Sadly, It could be true. Clearance games at Wal-Mart vary from store to store. A month after it came out I got a copy of Hunter the Reckoning for $10 and a copy of SSX Tricky for $15 Both were still new at the time, and when I returned to my home town Wal-Mart they were both $49.99. Seems a little fishy but could be true I picked up a copy of Def Jam Vendetta for $5 just the other night.

You people either need to call the store to see for yourselves, or stfu.

I agree... the number of posts only proves how often you post comments. There is no measure of who finds the best deals. As a newbie I found the $5 Best Buy deal... luckily some people were able to get it before they pulled it from their website.... Otherwise I would have been ripped for posting it...

whoah.. ok. Whether I believe it is real or not doesn't matter, but I'm going to try to guess how it could've happenned. I have a theory, because I've seen some pretty crazy things at Wal Mart (have you ever really wondered how many of em come to work slammed or have bottles of rum in their car? I'm friends with one of those kind of Wal Mart workers). Anyways, its possible that the person pricing the games (probably one of those all-knowing department managers) saw the link cable, and priced it the same as all the other link cables (which are 9.99 in most cases if I'm not mistaken). Probably not a deal, just an error. Anything is possible. I've seen a six pack of Smirnoff Ice at a Super Center for like 799.99 before. Never underestimate the stupidity of one of the finest examples of corporate America :)

I just got back from one of my local WalMart's last night and I found a copy of Simpson's Hit & Run and one last copy of FF: CC each for $20. It was the one in the plastic package with the link cable bundled at the bottom. Maybe it is possible this guy got it for $9.99. The funny thing is that this particular Walmart rarely has anything on sale, although I once picked up a PS2 network adapter for $11.

Did you buy it? That was probably one of the 5 limited edition 6 packs. The bottles have diamonds embedded in the glass, and the caps are made out of titanium. One of them just went for $5,799.51 on eBay (plus $7,500 shipping, insurance extra). I hope you bought the one at Walmart.
