I'm assuming that extra $5 is the Gamestop tax. MSRP is actually $20, isn't it?

I wouldn't be surprised, although I'm not sure it's legal to do that.

 

MSRP is manufacturers suggested retail price. If Gamestop wanted to sell the WM+ for 200$, they'd be legally able to. Feel sorry for the guys. They're getting squeezed by casual gamers buying at walmart, and hardcore gamers buying more and more downloadable games.

They CAN sell it for whatever they want, however they are being squeezed by no one. They posted record quarters the last two quarters in tough times, mostly do to used business. The only to stop a practice like this is to not buy it from them. and complain, and tell other not to buy from them as well.
