Please check to see if that's an accurate price, or if it's lower now. That having been said, why has Wal-Mart's pricing sceme gone so out of whack lately? My local wally world had Odama, a ton of other Xbox games and older Greatest Hits PS2 titles cheap for forever and all of the sudden last month Dark Cloud GH was priced up to $60, Odama was $40 and all the Xbox games were back up to $30!
It's probably an accurate price. One of my Wal-Marts had a ton of Gamecube games that were still $50. I asked if they were going to sell them for less than that, and they said they couldn't.

My Walmart has given up on PS2 and PS3 kiosks, because the controllers keep breaking so quick.

No clue, nothing was wrong with it or anything, I used to play on it during my lunch breaks...

Where it used to be there's just regular shelves and merchandise now.

I look at those broken ps2 and ps3 kiosks and look at my own stuff at home and have to wonder how the hell they take this much damage.

Gamestop probably charges less than $5 for it, so it's pretty funny they say it's "unbeatable".

My Walmart started carrying Mexican Coke. A very pleasant suprise. Bought one today. It's nice that they started carrying Mexican Coke just around the time that Pepsi Throwback is dissapearing from convenience stores around here. Now I'll have something to enjoy while I wait for Pepsi to re-release throwback.

How do you know it's Mexican coke, and is it the type that comes from a glass bottle?

I had a Mexican Coke once at a local cheapo convenience store that used to be by my house when I first moved to NC and it was damn good. Amazing what these little hell holes manage to get a hold of.

I know it's Mexican coke because:
The box on the shelf they were sitting in was in Spanish
I have had several Mexican Cokes before, so I know what they look like
They have a sticker on them that have the nutritional information on it, and it's made with sugar, and says it's a product of Mexico
And they were in 12 oz. glass bottles, by the way.
