Lol "I'll never walk into Walmart" please
I prefer the Target experience significantly more than Walmart, but $ talks as we've seen these past couple of weeks.
You can do online order and pickup in store and if you have a robo kiosk, it scans your barcode and you get your package. Easy Peazy
It's gonna be hard for me not to pick up Death Stranding Day 1, considering I don't think the game is going to go much lower than $50 for black friday

Interesting, I was at Walmart a couple weeks ago and noticed Link's Awakening for $50. I didn't think too much of it though (thought it was on sale cause it bombed or something).
So is this a release-window thing, or do they just set the price at $50 and leave it there?
I haven't been to the Walmart games department in a bit, but this is nearly as good as what I was getting with GCU (long since expired). Though not having the price online means rolling the dice on whether they have it in stock (can't buy online for in-store pickup at that price).

Yup, thankfully gamepass will be saving me a bit of money. It's sad though that some people think increasing the price of new games is a good idea because that would make games largely unaffordable in Canada.

Buying a new game at Walmart for $49.94 (in store) feels so damn good
I just picked up Astral Chains when I wasn't planning to, but seeing it at a discount so close to launch made it too hard to pass on. I heard that Walmart recently started doing this if you buy the game in store, but seeing it with my own eyes.... its real! lol. This is honestly great for...

I don't see Walmart elitists in that thread. Weird.I thought this was known

It depends on the Walmart, but sure, you may be waiting on the phone for a few extra minutes.
Holy god, so many of you have been so embarrassing with these bougie Walmart comments, as if it's so far beneath you. 'We're a Target family, thank you very much.'
Yep.
"Only the finest Tar-zhay for me, thank you very much good sir."
It's all just mass produced toys for manbabies people, who cares where we buy 'em at.
FernandoRocker You could have preordered LM3 at best buy for $10 rewards, then pricematch with walmart when you go to pick it up.
I buy digitally tax free so I am saving about $5 and I usually have $2-5 in gold coins plus buying Eshop $50 cards at a slight discount like $42-45. That way I pay about the same and don't have to step into a Walmart... And before that, when I still had Vouchers + using discount eShop cards I was saving allot more money than buying at Walmart.
It's been a good while since I've bought a game from Walmart, so I hadn't noticed. I'll be picking up Outer Worlds there for sure.

I mean, it either would be $49.99 if it is still considered new, or lower if it is considered old.
The $49.99 is not a launch price that is only available for a few weeks. It's Walmart's maximum price for new games.
Just tried to buy LM3 at Walmart this morning
Literally not a single employee in the electronic section, I literally couldn't buy a game
I hate my Walmart so much

Why does this remind me of Ripley looking for Newt at the end of Aliens? 😂
MW is on target's b2g1 free and is cheaper if you buy by Saturday. Add 3 games of $60 into your cart, checkout, then cancel and you'll be paying ~40+tax for MW
Lol what, the education system has failed you. If you pay taxes on a 59.99 dollar game it's at least a 10 dollar discount still.
now if you can get it tax free somewhere then yeah it makes sense but for me in Louisiana with 10 percent tax it's around a 11 dollar discount. Still not worth it for me to buy physical over digital but it's a nice discount none the less
Never noticed much of an issue with this. Unless you are going to buy a game at 3am.
So, I have been following the Luigi's Mansion 3 OT, and I have been seeing people ordering the game from several retailers at full price ($59.99). Sure, some people still have a Best Buy GCU membership, or maybe a Target Red Card and so on, but for people who don't have those options, there's Walmart.
Walmart has been selling all new games (including Nintendo's first party games) for $49.99 for a while now (at least all this year I think). I guess they really want people to go the electronics department.
For example, Luigi's Mansion 3 is $49.94 at Walmart, brand new, on release. This is for in-store only.
I've been buying my Switch games as of late at Walmart because of this. It's not just 59.99 games that are cheaper the 49.99 and 39.99 games are also 10 bucks less than other retailers.

Wish Target or Best Buy would do the same, but I'll be sure to give Wal Mart a shot at new releases since I am trying to avoid buying from Amazon when I can.
I bought it today. I was in the store to buy other stuff, so I went ahead and got it. Impulse buys.
I've never had any problem going to Walmart. Didn't realize how pretentious people are. "Oh I have to deal with a (generally) poorer demographic, so awful"
Even smaller games. I just bought Indivisible for $32, also bought Bloodstained at that price right after it came out.
Walmart swooped in where Best Buy and Amazon left off, and it's great
