[quote name='botticus']Supposedly Walmart and Nintendo partnered up due to Walmart's environmental focus. Not a terrible business decision, given the enormity of the chain, but an annoying one.[/QUOTE]
Whaaa?? Environmental focus? That's news to me...
Anyway, it is an annoying decision because believe it or not Walmarts are not ubiquitous. Like I said, there are 2 around here but nowhere I normally go. Also, I wouldn't be buying this for $30 from Target or any other place either. I wanted to use trade-in credit at EB or GC. So I guess I will be waiting for a used copy or until it is no longer exclusive. Oh well, didn't need another game for the backlog anyway. Hopefully this hurts sales enough they don't pull this kind of thing in the future. I know Walmart is the biggest retailer and all that, but it seems shortsighted to exclude EB/GS at any rate. Aren't they the biggest game seller, even over Walmart? Or it is close, anyway... They could have just given Walmart a Chibi plush bonus or something.
