Walmart $5.00 Video game blowout(YMMV)

[ferret4it]

Didn't see this posted yet, but I stopped in at the Walmart in Bolton and they were blowing out all their 2/$20 games for $5.00 each. Mainly PS2 games, some 360 as well as PSP and Wii games.

I picked up for the 360
Conan
Dead or Alive 2
Red alert

For PSP
Hot Shots Golf (Greatest Hits)

Could be YMMV.

[Vinman]

Do the XBOX 360 games scan in at that price or does it require a special sticker/over-ride?

[gta129]

Does the Scarborough Town Centre or any Toronto one have it?

[popoyaki]

Do the XBOX 360 games scan in at that price or does it require a special sticker/over-ride?

I was at the Wal-Mart in Orleans yesterday. Stickers said $10, but when you scan them, they come up at $5.

For Xbox 360, they had Facebreaker and Dead or Alive Extreme 2.

[Captain Snazzypants]

Hmmm, is EB's TMGM event still on? :twisted:

[feet_]

i wonder if any of these qualify for MW2 trade in

[GVRtrader]

Hmmm, is EB's TMGM event still on? :twisted:

Yes except most of those games don't work for TMGM (min value $3, a lot of those titles are $2.50 or less tho depending on your luck, you might find a few > $3).

[cloudexsoldier]

Hmmm, is EB's TMGM event still on? :twisted:

Yes but.....is it worth the hussle? I mean, TMGM needs games over like $3.... And you need like 10 copies in order to make some profit from crappy games.

P.S. Walmarts near my area have crappy games in the bargin bins..

[DIODIO]

Yes except most of those games don't work for TMGM (min value $3, a lot of those titles are $2.50 or less tho depending on your luck, you might find a few > $3).

These games are pretty much for ppl who want to PLAY the game instead of TIs! :D Too bad for those HOGGERS! :twisted:

[Captain Snazzypants]

Yeah, agreed. $5 for CC: Red Alert new is pretty good. Wish the PS3 version were available more cheaply...

[Parth]

Yea I agree, these are only good for games you want to play. It'd also be a goldmine if you can find any that >$8. But I seriously doubt thats possible.

[cashinstinct]

All games regular price $10 will scan for $5 this week. No need for a special UPC "sticker" to scan at $5, the manufacturer UPC of the game (not added by WMT) will scan at the sale price.

I was able to find Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 X360 for $5, only the English version scans for $5 though, the French version scans for $18.93.

Buying games to play them? strange concept, but I like it

[cmr140]

Anybody got a more extensive list of whats there? thanks!

[grappos13]

damn my local walmart the only PS3 game i saw in the $10 bin was ncaa 08 lol....but there were c & c red alert 3 for 360... and tons of logans shadows.. too bad they dont qualify now.. same with shipwrecked or it woulda been $5 qualifying games lol

[mahjongmaniac]

Do the XBOX 360 games scan in at that price or does it require a special sticker/over-ride?

certain games that have the $10 generic WM UPC ("value games") will scan-in at $5

there are also some games that were $10 scanned prior to the sale (original UPC), but those also now scan at $5

well, if you have games you're trading f/ your own collection, perhaps these $5 games are ideal as "fillers" to make up to the 10+ games list so that you get the most (+$5 TIC/game) out of the TMGM promo

Anybody got a more extensive list of whats there? thanks!

selection varies by location

[JEDI Force]

Red Alert 3 had a sticker of $29.99 but it scanned at $5 in Longueuil, QC. All the other games I tried (Facebreaker, Burnout...) scanned at their regular $20 price.

[Marus92]

Why was I the only one who thanked him?

Thanks OP, friend bought one to play co-op.

Now I just have to price adjust my 10$ PM at futureshop :cheesygri

[matsam]

Thanks a lot OP, I picked up:
- Jak II (PS2)
- Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS)
- Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee (PSP)

and my buddy picked up
- Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (PS2)

All for 5 bucks each. :cheesygri

[Chew300ZX]

Grabbed a couple of DS games for $5:

Exit DS
Death Jr. (lots of copies at the Mt Pearl, NL location)

[seven07]

im looking to go and pick up some of these. Are there any things electronic wise or anything else at walmart worth looking to get? looking 360 or cameras? Also any online 360 games in this bin for 5?

[mahjongmaniac]

and my buddy picked up
- Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves (PS2)

All for 5 bucks each. :cheesygri

anyone also interested in Sly 3, check out your local BBV too
it's been $5 (new copy) for ages (been at that price for like 1+ yr)

[Captain Snazzypants]

Exactly the point I was trying to make. I wasn't suggesting anyone run out and load up on $5 games so they could trade them in for $6-8. That sort of Kleptonomics is no longer in vogue...

Damn, that just came out perfectly! Can't believe I never thought of that before when all the funny tags were floating around... :twisted:

[phamhienp]

DOA2 is a great deal for 5 bones!

[Tornado F2]

"Death Jr"! :) With a main character named "Death Jr" it's hardly surprising it killed off sales - especially in a kids' game. I'd never heard of it before Friday.

So - are the games actually WORTH $5? I have a shiny new DSL looking for something to do! :)

[d182]

Wow, they had Apollo Justice for $5! I've been looking for this game for ages and I was never able to find it. Which Wal-mart did you buy it from? Also, can anyone else report if they found any copies of it in any of the Ottawa locations. Thanks.

[mahjongmaniac]

SCOP only works when scanned price is *higher* than any advertised price

SCOP wouldn't apply anyway since it's a ticketed item

I'm pretty sure I got the last one at Walmart Rosemère. It's been $10 for at least a few months now. For 5 bucks, it's a no-brainer. Hope you find it!

[Tominizer]

Picked up for $5 :

SOCOM 3 (PS2)
Some ATV 3 racing game that's escaping me now (PS2)
Paintball (PS2)


Forgot to look at the other platforms........ doh !!!

[Vinman]

Also, can anyone else report if they found any copies of it in any of the Ottawa locations. Thanks.

No good $5 DS games at Orleans or Trainyards (only Boogie and that Death Jr game were $5), but both of these locations were cleared of their $10 game bin months ago. Other than absolute crap like Golden Compass (Wii) and Dead or Alive (360), it was all PS2 console games on sale.

No, make that Kindergarten, taking basic rudimentary English.

Or whatever language it was that he was attempting. I could never really tell! :)



(Just joking, of course. I missed his departure. Something to do with SDM apparently).

[Scottie]

I picked up.

360 - Red Alert 3 $5

Wii

Golden COmpess used a $5 copoun from cereal got it free

and Some Lost In Blue Shipped Wrecked used another $5 copoun got it for free too.

hahahah funny story, bought 3 boxes of cereal went out to the car and cut them out and had a smoke and went back in and got the games.

Any want to buy my Wii games from me $10 each?

Just kidding, Thanks OP !!

[Psubs]

Yea I agree, these are only good for games you want to play. It'd also be a goldmine if you can find any that >$8. But I seriously doubt thats possible.

Make profit by dumping them into Blockbuster when they do their min $10 credit for games.

How much was the cereal?..because that was the real cost of your games...not free.

not if he bought cereal he actually is going to eat

[Snowy]

How much was the cereal?..because that was the real cost of your games...not free.

You could pick up boxes last week for about 50¢ at RCSS (with the right coupons $2.47 otherwise), but if you account the cost as the cost of the cereal, then it is technically free... only if your never going to eat the cereal is it not free.

[grappos13]

well isint it more that since u bought that cereal for the purpose of the coupon..

meaning his shopping trip to walmart, if he wasnt planning on buying cheap wii games.. he would never have bought that cereal... even if he does eat it and enjoy it... it doesnt mean that he was gonna have that cereal anyway.. so then he DID technically buy the cereal for the coupon... just cuz he eventually eats it doesnt make the game totally free imo... its whether he was gonna buy that cereal anyways..

[gta129]

Has anyone come across any PS3 games, even a crappy one? Why it is whenever they have sales like this PS3 games r never in it? Even last year's boxing day, Walmart had bins and bins of X360 games on sale. I guess that's what we get for choosing blue ray. lol

[xbl_sucks]

Just called home and my brother got 2 C&C Red Alert 3's thanks OP going to try to use one for either T3G1F or trade for more promo.

[Netcruzer]

Are there any other $5 360 games besides DOA-Volleyball, Facebreaker, Hail to the Chimp, or C&C-Red Alert 3?
Any $5 PS3 games?

their min. $10 promo just ended recently, so i wouldn't expect them to bring it back anytime soon...
by the time they bring it back, your TIVs will have depreciated (i.e. don't buy sports games)

$2.49 a box. Fruit Loops and Frosted flakes.

Can't use it for t3f1 that's been dead for awhile. I think it's at $6 TIV now.

[RetroVirus]

whoa would the scanning code of practice apply? might be able to get them for free =P

i believe the scanning code of practice only applies if sticker price is less than the scanned price or if the tickets and tags on the "rack" or "shelf" indicate a price less than the scanned price. if this occurs then the first 10$ of sticker price (ie the lower price) is picked up by the store which means that anything less than 10$ is free. only works on the first item though per customer.

Avoid this game at all costs. lol It's voted one of the worst Xbox 360 games to date and I wouldn't recommend this game even for $5. You have been warned. :P

[Jubo]

Vampire Rain is $4.99 USED @ EB/GameStop if you want to save 10% tax :)

Any $5 PS3 games?

1 of the titles i remember was NCAA 08 basketball game

not much in terms of PS3 selection

recall that a lot of these games were in the dump bin for $10 a while back (recall a thread about it)...
Conan was one of the $10 games IIRC

SCOP is meant for non-ticketed items

if item is ticketed, you get the lower price

Meet the Robinson's Wii
M&M's Beach Party Wii
Chrysler Classic Racing Wii

I grabbed Meet the Robinsons and M&M's (looked like last copies); hopefully they'll be good enough for the kids later on.

[cashinstinct]

Red Bull BC for DS is $5, but it's worth $0.90 at EB... so not worth it for TMGM!

Thought I was out of luck until I spied a few games that had fallen down between the racks. Got them out and 1 was red alert. Other then that there was ps3 NCAA 08 basketball, lots of dark mirror, ds death jr and boogie, and lots of crappy ps2 games. facebreaker was there for ages at $10, now they got lots marked and scan at $19

[mahjongmaniac]

Red Bull BC for DS is $5, but it's worth $0.90 at EB... so not worth it for TMGM!

according to a recent TIV post in another thread, Death Jr. (DS) is worth $4.XX (works for TMGM)

[spartan 117]

Went to the Walmart in Richmond Hill,
They had if anyone is interested ALOT of PS2 games, 4-5 360 games and a few DS games

All the games on sale for $5 were in a special section in the electronics

They also had around 20 copies of some UNO game for the Gameboy Advanced

[jetfire33]

My WalMart also had "Project Sylpheed" from SquareEnix for the 360 marked at $10. I didn't have time to run it over to a scanner though.

Got a Roger's flyer in the mail yesterday and they have trade 10 games get $100 off a system. So 10 games at $5 saves you $50 if you are looking for a new system. No duplicates was the only stipulation I could find in the small print.

[Vinman]

Just got back from price-protecting some $10 XB360, DS and Wii games I bought back at the start of September. It turned out to be quite lucrative, although the gal at the cash tried to play the "14 days" trick on me, but after reading the back of the receipt, she doled out the cash.

Thanks to the OP, as he just bought me Weeds S1-S3.

[Marus92]

Why was I the only one who thanked him?

Thanks OP, friend bought one to play co-op.

Bingo - this is a golden opportunity to save $50 (+ tax?) on a new console...

yep. great deal if you're looking for a new console

PS3 slim $250
Wii - $180

not sure which versions of 360 RP still carries...

BTW, the other stipulation is also that they must have a TIV at RP
but i suppose that likely isn't a problem seeing that the games they accept are all next-gen (PS3/360/Wii) or current gen (PSP/DS)

plenty of $10 selection of games at WM... :)

[SpyKiIIer]

I picked up DOA2, Red Alert for X360 at the new superstore wall-mart in Oshawa. The games were in a stand up display, not in a bin like at other walmarts. They had lots of the $10 games, for X360, PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP.

[arty316]

SBK Superbike (360) is a $10 game at some walmarts but ymmv....I guess it depends on stock as I have also seen it for the $18 price tag when there were lots of them in the store. I got one for $5 and did a t1f1 for Ratchet and Clank Ps3 at EB.

[GuitarMan]

Still lots of Red Alert 3 for 360 at $5 at the Walmart in Windermere, south Edmonton.

[Kwack]

For the trade - 1 - game and pay 4.99 for bioshock,does C&C Red Alert make the requirements?

[yoda12320]

No unfournately 6.25 is most recent tiv for 360 version. Has to be min 8 tiv for it qualify like all ebgames promo's.

Anyone else have this experience with other games priced @ $18.99?

[Vinman]

Anyone else have this experience with other games priced @ $18.99?

Nope, we went into WM and scanned a TON of $18.93/99 360/Wii/PS3 games and found NONE that were lower priced. There weren't a lot of PS3 games there, and I don't think I saw that NFL Coach one.

The deal is already dead in Quebec, since it started earlier, I think, I scanned a bunch of 10$ games and they all rang up at regular price.

Deal DEAD in WINNIPEG

It should have been dead since Saturday.

[Aggy]

Saw Red Alert 3 at STC today aroun 6pm and it had $10 sticker price on it...would the scanner price be $5 on that or was it for the anniversary sale only? I'm sure someone will get it tonight so I won't bother going back :lol:

[Vinman]

All of the games are back to normal prices - it figures since I just saw them unloading a brand new box of $10 turds, which I likely would have picked up for $5 a pop.

On the good side, I did find NBA 09 Wii at RCSS for $9.99 - I've been wanting to pick that up since I traded 08 to EB for an XB360. Too bad Madden 09 and FIFA 09 were both $19.99.

[rapsfan12]

does anyone know where i can find a copy of red alert 3 (360) in a walmart in the markham/scarborough area? even with the sale dead, i wouldn't mind picking this up for $10 anyway...seems like a good enough deal to me...

See my post above...saw one there around 6pm mixed in with the PS2 games. Probably gone now though!

Similar price, dunno if anyone's flagged this yet, BUT...

I saw that very game at a SuperStore (Loblaws?) on the prairies here, for $9.83 or something similar. Lots of relatively cheap games were on an open rack, such as Resistance PSP for $15, while the costlier games were locked away in cabinets.

I actually bought the last copy of Red Alert at STC this morning since I had to do a return anyways, but it was for $10. I'll probably return it though...$5 was a waaay better deal!:cheesygri

I think it's $20 at BB. You could PM it down to $9.

Ooh... And I was happy to settle for $5! I should have bought for $3.50 (via PM) from FS instead! :|

Hey xbox online has RA3 for 800 credits which if u bought a 1400 point card for $22.60 after taxes it equals $12.93 or half that if u caught the sears screw up.

Saw a bunch of $10 games today at RCSS in Ajax including Red Alert 3. They had High School Musical 3 for 360 for $20. OK if you want an extra DDR mat ( I think they're compatible?).

may not be so worthwhile unless your local FS/BB/WM are close to each other

if not, the gas will take up the PM $aving$

I didn't even think about doing that and i had a BB right beside the Walmart i bought the games for. I figure it was a crazy deal already so i didn't even think of PMing!!:cheesygri

shame on you...

I really should have PMed at FS. Then I could have actually used that 5%-off cpn. It's expired now I think. Problem is, it was for online purchases, and it might have been difficult to PM WM B&M vs FS.ca. More bother than it would have been worth anyway.

5% - it still sounds pathetic a month later!

Though I notice the usual 10% discounts on DVDs, CDs, games, etc haven't been part of FS's last 2 "sales" - which is part of the reason why they were such non-events. There was absolutely nothing worth buying - even with that puny extra 5%-off. Failure Shop indeed!

I picked up Farcry Vengeance for the Wii today for $0.98. The cashier was a bit stunned, but I told him it was from the bargain box.

UPDATE: sorry, i didnt know there was another thread for this. Thanks for the heads-up

That's OK. At least it can remind mods to move this to Expired now.

Nice find though. I'll never own a Wii, but it shows there are still deals out there.

That's what I said....until yesterday. It was the last day for EB's promo where you'd get a Wii + the EA Sports Active bundle for $139.99 + 3 games with $8+ TIV. I had the credit, I had the games, and I still have a bit of the "turkey belt" from Thanksgiving :twisted:

Can't believe I own a Wii now...

Yes, but what is the TIV on a downloaded 360 game?

Cold.
