[quote name='aem']lol my local Wal-Mart has a big case full of old games they never mark down. There are tons of old sports titles as far back as like 2006 or 2007 along with other old games games priced way way above what they should be. While the occasional item they will slowly mark down, 75% of the time they just let it waste space in the store. When they put an item on clearance it is usually seems like a 5-10% discount, barely putting a dent in their outrages prices.
The only great deal I ever remember getting at Wal-Mart was Age of Empires III collectors edition. Not long after release I saw this in store marked down to I think $20. I lived elsewhere then and the Wal-Mart was a bit better.
The only good nationwide markdown in recent memory was Rock Band 1 Drum Sets being sold for $10 each. That was I'm guessing a year ago or so.
Now if you are talking about sales, yeah they have them such as the giftcard deals when buying a console. But their sales are very infrequent compared to just about anywhere else. Usually if you want a good deal at Wal-Mart it requires price matching another store since they have the best price matching policies that I know of.[/QUOTE]
The one older style non supercenter WM around here still had copies of Dino Crisis 2 for PS1 and one of the first Tony Hawk games for N64 still in a big metal dump bin in electronics until just a few years ago, if that gives you any idea of how long some WM stores hold onto stock.
Funny thing is, I had them price check both the one night and they both came up sticker price($30 for DC2 and $50-60 for TH).
