Hancock Blu-ray and PS3 remote for 14.96 at Walmart YMMV
I found a Hancock and PS3 remote giftset in the video game case on clearance for 14.96. I'd never seen the set before but I couldn't pass it up for that price.

Re: Hancock Blu-ray and PS3 remote for 14.96 at Walmart YMMV
I had a friend who used to work for Walmart. He told me that whenever he wanted to buy something that was a bit too expensive he would scan the item, with this sort of hand gun scanner the employees on the floor carry, and change the price to something "reasonable". He would then take his break, because you were not allowed to make any purchases "on the clock", and purchase the item at the reduced price.
Punch back in from break and change the price back to its normal value.
He told me it was like a 15 minute window where such items would be at an unbelievable price.
He said this was common practice amongst the employs.
This may explain these YMMV incredible deals, such as the above.
It's being at the right place at the right time.
