In order to match some of the internet’s more enticing deals, Wal-Mart is dropping games like Halo 3: ODST and Left 4 Dead 2 to $50 while giving free $50 gift cards with Wii console purchases.
Generic quote about explosive savings.
Something strange has happened to me this year. My years of retail experience have worn off, and I’ve stopped searching brick-and-mortar stores for holiday deals, instead opting for the convenience of online retailers like Amazon. The fact that San Francisco has a pretty sparse selection of movie and game retail locations probably speeded the process up, though. Regardless, my point remains– In these cash-strapped times, consumers are even more desperate for deals, and online stores are usually the best sources for that.
Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the US, is hoping to bring folks back into their superstores with a barrage of video game deals running throughout the holiday season. The Nintendo Wii, which has been largely absent from the free-game bundling wars waged since Black Friday, still won’t be getting any add-ons, but Wal-Mart customers will get the next best thing–a $50 gift card, which can be used anytime after the original purchase. This deal starts this Saturday, December 5, and will run for a week, until Saturday the 12th.
Something you might want to consider putting on the card is one of the many recent releases that Wal-Mart has price-dropped to $50 effective now until Christmas Eve, both online, and in-stores. Among the new games selling for $10 than the MSRP are Halo 3: ODST, Left 4 Dead 2, and Uncharted 2. You’ll still have to pony up the extra Hamilton if you want to get games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed II, though. The full list of price-cut titles appears below. Any readers planning on hitting up their local ‘Mart to take advantage of the deals?
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Wii) — now $40 Lego Rock Band (Wii) — now $40 Rock Band: Beatles (Wii) — now $40 MySims: Agents (Wii) — now $40 Tekken 6 (Xbox 360 and PS3) — now $50 Madden 2010 (Xbox 360 and PS3) — now $50 WWE 2010 (Xbox 360) – now $50, WWE 2010 (Wii) — now $40 Batman Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) — now $50 Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) — now $50 Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) — now $50 Uncharted 2 (PS3) — now $50
