Walmart -- about 30 copies of Castle Shikigami 2

$49.99 each!

just to make sure I wasn't staring at perhaps the greatest tragedy in CAG history, I had one price checked. yep, $49.99.

kill it with fire.

Wow, that's pathetic. Wasn't the MSRP like $9.99? Can't say I'm surprised though considering I have seen 2000 and 2001 PS1 sports games for $19.82 at my local Walmart

How wild, I got it for $9.99 from Wal-Mart itself (their website though) around Christmas.

I can see it now, people will start buying it from WM.com and returning in-store without a receipt. :roll:

Wal-Marts are completely YMMV. so this hot deal is probably exclusive to my store.

While I dont agree with that practice at all, but for WalMart to price a title that was always around 10 bucks at 50?... they almost deserve it

Walmart has always, to me, been about the worst place to ever find games... but regular Joe 6-pack WalMart customer doesnt know any better... they are still probably the number one retailer of video games in the US, as they are with everything from groceries to lingerie... :roll:

their "huge box full of games" marketing technique shows just about how much value they put on a customer's discerning eye. Same goes for the box of dvds.

"Hey, I'll just reach into this here cheap game box and whatever I pull out is what we're playin'!"

There is some good stuff buried in those bins if you dig. Hell that's how I found some classic gems like "Hondo" and "Stay Tuned" on DVD. :D

Especially "Stay Tuned" which is one of the greatest shittiest films ever made on this planet that still pwns. :D :D :D
