Came across this in the aforementioned CAG thread.
From ABC news:
Walmart says that a technical error on its website erroneously led to super low prices on Nov. 6, 2013.

A spokesman for Walmart said the company is still scanning the millions of items on its site to see if there are still any technical errors causing price discrepancies. Walmart assured the media that the site was not hacked.
"We experienced a technical error that caused some items to show incorrect pricing," Walmart said in a statement. "We are working quickly to correct the error and during this time, there may be intermittent site availability. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
Ravi Jariwala, a spokesman for Walmart, said: "I want to make very clear this is not a hack. This is an internal technical error."
When asked if the company will honor items sold to customers at the mistakenly low prices, Jariwala said the company is "still working through those details."
Apparently some people have been getting their stuff through in store pick up. I'm not entirely sure how the shipped items are being handled. Mine are still being processed. I could see the game deals being honored, but I'm not holding my breath for the $250 monitor I got for 8 bucks.
