Saw this at CAG, and thought the good folks here might want in on it too.

By passing this on you only increase the amount of traffic/orders on what has to be an error, while I thank you, this will most likely be flagged because of the flood of orders and the mistake will be found, orders will be canceled and we'll all sing the song on how Walmart is the devil.

But hey, thanks.

In for one. Not a fan of that franchise, but $20 is worth checking out and reselling. Thanks.

If you didn't order though, then you wouldn't be able to take part in the bitching afterwards. :-)

I doubt this will get honored, but the guys on CAG say that Walmart's honored pre-order pricing errors in the past, so who knows. A bunch of other games are currently cheap as well. I pre-ordered Turok for $30 and Condemned 2 for $20 in addition to SSBB.

There are about a dozen titles mispriced. Most of them on the 360(ranging from $20-$40):

Condemned 2
Rainbow 6:Vegas 2
Turok
Army of Two
Burnout Paradise

Just go to the "coming soon" page to see them all. Someone on CAG said Wal-Mart typically honors mistakes, so here's hoping. I ordered Smash Bros, Turok, Haze & Condemned.

Picked up this, dark sector, and Condemned 2 for about $70.... I doubt I'll get a single one, but it's Walmart so I won't feel bad if I do.

As tempting as it was to get other games, I got the only one I was originally interested in: Condemned 2. Thank you, OP and Michael Corvin.

No sweat. The more people that buy Condemned the better.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up.

I got Smash Brothers (which I probably wouldn't have picked up anyway) and Burnout Paradise ($40), which I was on the fence about.

I still couldn't bite on Burnout. Even though I despised the demo with a passion, I still want to give the full game a fair shake, but only for $20 or less.

You know as much as I understand the disdane for the new interface, I don't think Burnout Paradise will be as bad as people made it out to be. The demo wasn't great but it showed a lot of potential.

So whats the history of Walmart letting pricing like this slip through?

I couldn't resist, I ordered:

SSBB
Haze PS3
Turok 360
Frontlines 360
Army of Two 360

I just couldn't pull the trigger on Burnout.

I got in on the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 deal. Always interested in a new Co-op game for use with Law School friends. Hope it comes through!

I bought Lost, Turok, Rainbow Six 2, and Supreme Commander for $30 each. I also purchased Condemned 2 for $20.

Thanks for sharing this news, bralph.

Picked up Condemned 2, Burnout Paradise (for 40... still 20 bucks cheaper than it would be anywhere else), and Smash Bros. Brawl (I wasn't going to buy this, but for that cheap, why the hell not)

Saw this on SlickDeals this morning, got in even though I was surprised it was still working. I'm sure they'll all be cancelled, but it's certainly worth a shot. SSB for $23.48 after tax and shipping? Sold.

Why does the XBox get to have all the fun?? Only Haze is on the cheap for the PS3.

Still, I really enjoyed Timesplitters so I gave Haze a shot.

I really fricking crazy obsessed over Goldeneye so I gave Perfect Dark a shot. I played the hell out of Perfect Dark so I gave Timesplitters a shot. I enjoyed Timesplitters so I'll give Haze a shot.

There is a law of diminishing returns going on here though...
