Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

Rune Factory 3 Special Switch $10
NBA 2K25 PS5/PS4 $30

Silent Hill 2 is still $69 at my store. :(

Rune Factory 3 Special is an old deal. I got it for $10 there like a year ago I think.

edit: out of curiosity I checked and it was actually back in early February of this year

Snagged a copy of Lies of P for PS5 for $20 tonight, seemed like a solid deal.

They also had the pokemon scarlet and violet double pack, but it was $90 so I left that for some other lucky person
I'd wait for Pokémon 2 pack in a target buy x sale. An or stacked with circle promos. Pearl diamond were in a previous one as an example there.

I wonder if they will do a dlc bundle like sword and shield though.
 
gran turismo ps5 is still $70 in store by me. Was able to order it for $20 yesterday for shipping though.


This is a weird one. Visiting two stores tonight. One had 3 copies in stock, $69. The other had a ‘rollback’ tag for $19.97 and was sold out. I bought it for $69 and will just price adjust it at the other one next week.
 
Got Denied a price match of their own online prices for Silent Hill in store lmao

When I was at the store Tuesday and asked if I could get a game, I asked them at the display case if the online price was the same in store as well and they said they'd let me have it for $30. They had to override the price when they rang it up.
 
Did exactly what I said the other day... got Gran Truism 7 PS5 for $69 at one store. Went to store #2 tonight and told them I was there to price adjust. They simply offered to return/refund and resell it, no issues at all.
 
Had a whopping $2.50 in Wally cash to spend and since I let my Walmart+ expire, finally visited our local shithole store. Grabbed Pacific Dive Deluxe at $15. Surprised they still has a few clearance games tbh.
 
Here's an odd one... I was stoked to pick up the Crew, Motorfest for PS5 recently for $15. I use gameeye to track my library and by scanning the barcode, it says this title doesn't exist. The version I have was purchased in store in Pennsylvania and is bilingual, in english and french. Photos I'm seeing online show both this version and an english only version.

Whoever else owns this game or got it on clearance recently, what version do you have?
 
I bought my copy at walmart and its also the bilingual version

Thank you for your reply. I wonder why walmart is getting this different edition. All of the other games I bought in the last few months, over a dozen, were US/NA editions. This is the first time I'm finding an alternate/international version. I'll check out my local best buy and over the coming days and see what edition they have.

The Gameeye app says this version doesn't even exist in their database. I'll most likely return it, or price match the proper US version at best buy since walmart online sells it for $18.
 
i don't buy many games from walmart, but ive got a few recently, and they are actually all these bilingual versions. alone in the dark, the crew, pacific drive, sonic frontiers, silent hill 2 and prince of persia.

I'll double check all of mine I bought most of the same from walmart, except sonic frontiers was from gamestop last year.

Do you track your games or use an app? I've never had a game not scan in Gameeye before tonight.

I noticed this as well. I checked at Target and a lot of the games now are bilingual so it matches up

I just double checked my recent walmart clearance buys.

  • alone in the dark is bilingual
  • Pacific drive deluxe is bilingual
  • Prince of Persia is normal
  • Crew Motorfest bilingual
  • Lies of P bilingual
  • destroy all humans 2 bilingual
  • Hello Neighbor 2 normal
  • Aliens fireteam elite bilingual
  • Persona 5 tactica bilingual
  • sandLand bilingual
  • gotham knights normal
  • banishers bilingual
  • Ghostbusters spirits unleaded bilingual

I see what you did there.




Agreed. Ages ago I used to buy nearly every game that hit a $10 price point for PS3 and PS4. My attic is full of new/sealed games I never got around to playing.
Man, the glory days of $5/10 games, it was so good.

Literally cheaper than a rental, when we still had those also…

I not terribly familiar with the nuances of the PS5 landscape too much but since you mentioned English and French could it just be that they are selling Canadian versions for some games?
 
YMMV for anyone else with an Amex card, but you may have a couple offers that give you Walmart+ for essentially free. My card has spend $98 on Walmart+, get a $49 statement credit AND Walmart itself is offering me $50 in Walmart Cash if I sign up for the $98 annual Walmart+ account.
 
Heads up everyone, I just tried to buy PS5 Alone in the Dark about 10 minutes ago & it was blocked from being sold at the register. It still comes up $15 when the associate scanned it with the in store app & the price tag in the case was changed on 11/22/24 & showed $15 as well. Just wanted to alert everyone.

Likely a recall i'd guess but still odd they would do such
 
The .03 cent games lives!!! It’s alive!!! IT’S ALIVE!!!!!!

IMG_9713.jpeg

Sitting on the shelf underneath the budget titles were these two, no security clamshell on them. Took them to self checkout and they rang up with no issue whatsoever. I was super surprised. Makes me think either, if the the game is old enough then it’ll make it through, or there must be a specific designation attached to the SKUs that drop to that price that will get flagged at a register, idk maybe both but I was excited.
 
That is unusual. Were they part of the batches that were restricted? Because if not then maybe that would explain it like you said. Or that was possibly returned and just slipped through the cracks and sitting in the back.

Don't let that one dipshit that used to come here see this or he'll tattle on you lmao

Walked into one of my Wally’s and was greeted by a ton of clearance stickers throughout the store. Grabbed a few games for 10 bucks each.

They marked down a ton of their budget titles to $7-10.

This was absolutely crazy to see tho, I wish I wish they still had some.

City and/or state please?

Would love to find some of these for $10. Already paid $20 for sonic origins plus though I'd grab an extra as a hift, plus goat for PS5, and those PS5 controllers for half price... sign me up!
 
So I went back today to see if I missed anything I really wanted and asked one of the workers what was up with all the clearance stuff. This store is getting a remodel in January so it’s all just clearing space for that. So good in the short term because cheap games but long term it’ll likely be a smaller games section. Womp womp.

Their store is actually 1 of 6 in the district that’ll be getting a remodel in January. This is in central CT.

This concerns me. It seems like the corporations like Sony and Microsoft are colluding with retailers to eliminate discs and physical media. Solely to create a digital monopoly. Some of the Walmart and target stores I’ve seen don’t even restock their games any longer and have shrunk their game sections to almost nothing.

Now companies like Amazon are the only ones selling movies such as 4K discs. And lo and behold… new steelbooks like Deadpool 3 are $65 now.
 
I can confirm that my local Wal-Mart had the following Clearance drops:

PS5
Stellar Blade $21.00
Payday 3 $9.00
Like A Dragon - Infinite Wealth $15.00 (Was previously on Clearance at $25 or $30) Grabbed the last one.

The Crew Motorfest $14.97 (Not on clearance but couldn't help but notice the price on this one)

PS4
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 + Arcade Game Series (Galaga, Pac-Man, Dig Dug) $9.00
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 $9.00
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl $9.00

Switch
Jojo Siwa Worldwide Party $9.00
Yum Yum Cookstar $9.00
Paw Patrol On A Roll! $13.00

No other drops on the other $17.97 titles at my local Wal-Marts in both Scarborough and Falmouth Maine.
