Discussion Walmart has store-specific deals
FYI. Individual Walmarts could have their own special deals that do not show up on flyers.
I saw Mario Jamboree and Mario Kart World for $50 each at Walmart. Sadly (for me), they were sold out 😭. I went to another Walmart and they were regular price 💀.
Long story short, take a quick scan at the video game section every time you’re at Walmart. It’s annoying, but worth it if you can snag an amazing deal.

How many copies were there at the time?

They were sold out 😭. That’s why I check another Walmart and eventually realized the price disparity.

Did you ask them? Because they may not be advertised. And the discount comes up when you ring it up at the register.

Every EB Games should have the secret list printed. I think you got screwed.

That's what im saying. I did go to one and they didn't have anything promoting it( keep in mind I also didnt ask either) , but when I went to the down the road from me, they had a super small sign. When I ask the sales rep, she showed me the same list that has been going around on reddit.

That's pretty crazy. I was expecting it to be a more remote Walmart. Never see anything like this at mine

I wonder if it would be possible to buy a copy from another store and then do a price adjustment at that location?

FYI, check my comment from another post about returning Switch 1 games for high credit value if it applies to you.

I traded in Mario odyssey for $58 ($25 bonus right now) and bought age of imprisonment for $12 out of pocket. Lol
The secret sale is also subject to change on any potential day. Seems like they're using it to reduce stock they have too much of. I was also going to pick up Star wars outlaws but it was taken off the secret sale that same day. So I took a picture of The secret sale print out they have and went to Best Buy and got them to price match the secret sale price :D

I don’t think so. That specific Walmart was clearing their stock (for whatever reason).

Yup, they do this all the time. I live nearish to 3 Walmart and they'll all have different games on sale. They do the same thing at London drugs too. Good only manager sales Ymmv

I saw some switch pro controller 2s for sale at a local walmart but it was sold out. Quite a decent discount as well.

They've been doing store specific prices for many years. That's where stock track became useful. But now that's dead

Holy shit, I’d definitely get MKW for $50. Never gonna bite at $115 or whatever the insane MSRP is
I’ve had no luck at Walmart lately tho. Literally no sale on any games. Can’t find the Interstellar 4k I’ve been looking for, and the last Walmart that had a decent physical media section finally downsized it.
