Walmart offering $50 gift card with Wii purchase next week, cheaper games now

by JC Fletcher { Dec 2nd 2009 at 5:30PM }

Sad that you missed all the Black Friday sales? Walmart wants to take advantage of that feeling of being left out, with a series of December sales and price drops. The most exciting offer: for one week (from December 5 -12), every Wii will come with a $50 gift card, effectively dropping the price to a ridiculous $150.

Walmart's price drops on games are less dramatic, failing to reach the depths of, say, Amazon's Black Friday weekend drops, but the list provided (after the break) does include a lot of hot games for less than MSRP -- like The Beatles: Rock Band on Wii for $40 and Batman, Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2, and a lot more for $50 each. Walmart promises more price drops on its website and in stores. How can it afford to do this stuff?

Oh, right, by dominating the entire retail industry.

It's a pretty good post friday for the wii... The game deals are hardly worth swooning over though.

I've been seeing Wii and DSi commercials like crazy. Several of which are from Walmart.

It's a good deal but the Wii is still $199.87 or whatever Walmart is charging.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Nope, not $150. People will bite your throat out for saying it. Just like the 360 wasn't $99.



kingofwale on 02 December 2009

unless you can use that 50 dollars toward a Wii at first time. No, it's not $150.

I think my parents will be going for that deal.

And Toys R US has that new wii game get a second half off too.



Nightwish224 on 02 December 2009

People, don't blame Nintendo for having this deal. It's clearly stated that Walmart is giving the deal away. Remember the whole Microsoft argument with the $50 off? Right.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

supermario128 on 02 December 2009

How is that a $150 Wii? Gift cards don't reduce the price.... Misleading title.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

A Wal Mart GC is as good as cash, as my wife shops there almost every week.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

well figure this, with the Wii deal you can get a controller or Wii Play or our WiiMote WM+ bundle.
