Walmart Slashes Prices to Compete With Amazon
If you’ve been on Amazon recently, you would have noticed that many game prices have been slashed for the holidays. Wal-Mart wants to jump on the bandwagon, apparently. From now until Christmas Eve (December 24), the following games are receiving price cuts:
Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Wii) – $40
Lego Rock Band (Wii) – $40
Rock Band: Beatles (Wii) – $40
MySims: Agents (Wii) – $40
Tekken 6 (Xbox 360 and PS3) – $50
Madden 2010 (Xbox 360 and PS3) – $50
WWE 2010 (Xbox 360) – now $50, WWE 2010 (Wii) – $40
Batman Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) – $50
Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) – $50
Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) – $50
Halo 3:ODST (Xbox 360) – $50
Uncharted 2 (PS3) – $50
In addition, from December 5-12, you’ll score a $50 Walmart gift card when you purchase a Nintendo Wii system. It’s likely that Amazon will respond to Walmart’s actions by giving consumers even better deals, making the cycle continue to spur throughout the holidays.
