While checking the mall *LAST WEEK* for a copy of DiRT 2 for PS3 (Vapourware apparently) some friends and I decided to check in the Walmart...
 
Which is where we found this sick little deal:
 

Not only is the game almost 5 years old, it's the ORIGINAL Xbox version. Priceless.

Not at Walmart, but at a department store chain called David Jones here in Australia this is a common sight. It's very easy to find full price GBA, Xbox or Gamecube games in the electrical section. I always check back because I figure one day they have to have them at a massive discount!

I have to check the Zellers near where I live. I don't think their stock has been updated since the PS3 came out.

Someone at the local Wal-Mart must have thought the Reign of Fire tie-in game was gonna be way more popular than it was, because they had several copies of the Gamecube version on display for at least five years after the movie it was based on came out. I don't remember what they were charging for it, but I almost picked it up a couple times as a larf.

Probably because Call of Duty games never, never go on sale or get discounted, ever. CoD4 still sells for 50 or 60 dollars as well.

Wait, COD3 was on the original Xbox? I thought all that changed when COD2 came out!

I think Walmart might have some slight misconceptions about how video game retail works.

Call of duty 4...is...right...next...to...IT!

Shit! I hope they don't run out of copies before I can get one ^_*

`That's pretty much any non video game specific store around here. They are always like $20-$30 over priced on everything. No one updates the prices with time. 
 
That said, I did check the bargain bin at a local walmart a few weeks back and got Eternal Sonata for the PS3 $20, Bayonetta for PS3 $20 and a semi rare PS2 RPG Rogue Galaxy for only $10. Not a bad haul for $50 if I do say so myself.

dude you found an original xbox games at retail...I would totally pay 50 dollars for that!!

They're only trying to pass the savings on to you!

I'm actually kind of surprised that it's a "T" rated game. 

'Online Enabled'. Not any more.

Well, it is the sequel to Modern Warfare 2.

My guess would be the electronics manager noticed a bunch of CoD3 stock sitting in the back and figured they might be able to sucker some mom's into buying that one for their kids for xmas when they look at their list and see "Call of Duty" on it.  I've no idea how competitive departments are to meet their margins and such in Walmart, but I wouldn't put such a scheme past em. I've seen worse happen in grocery stores. 
 
Or maybe it's not so sinister and they really are just stupid. *shrugs*

For the longest time my Shopko had a copy of Titan Quest for $50.  I seen they finally got rid of it.

Once went to a Gamestop, where Saints Row was cheaper new, than used.

I haven't been to Walmart in a long time.

Oh my goooooood.

" @Meteora:  That's the Aussie price for it, yeah. Same price for BLOPS, Civ V and New Vegas "

The WM near here has a bunch of the Madden 07... champion edition or something, I forget the name. But it's still $59.99.

Retailers are gonna be screwed once digital distribution on consoles comes in full swing.

I love how it is for the 1st xbox. I didn't even know 3 (or 2, but I saw it did) came out on the 1st xbox.

Aww hell O.o

"That will be the day when you can emulate them and the game companies won't give two shits because of how old they are. "

I guess I should start taking pictures of the stupid video game deals I see...they have like 50 copies of Pariah at my local walmart for I think close to $30.

I feel your pain, mate "

The Wal Mart in Langley, BC still has The Saboteur (December 2009) for 69.99

 Then again, these fps's will probably have zero nostalgia value when better ones are on the market. "

How about Doom? The Quake games? Half-Life?  That's a lot of exceptions. "

While not at Wallmart or even in the US, I find in retail  incredible prices for Xbox 360's jrpgs.  Games like Infinite Undiscovery at 40$, Last Remnant at 60$, Tales of Vesperia at 60$...  
 
Where are this guys getting the prices? O_o

Shit, and I thought the 30 dollar asking price on Games on Demand was offensive.
