It's a phillips DVD+RW200...... it looks like it was a pricing error..... so it's not a hot deal.....

It was in amongst a bunch of 24x CDRWs..... like i said, it was a pricing error.... and there was only one of the drives... if there would've been more, I would've bought and sold them on eGay.... :)

Well, before all the a-holes come in and say "you should feel guilty about taking advantage of this...you should flail yourself with a rope w/embedded razor blades....." I want to say:

Congrats! They messed up. You caught it. There is no moral quandry. You didn't kill anyone. You're not taking the food off anyone's table, etc, etc. Enjoy. Just don't register the darn thing!

It's not like you switched the price tags or anything. Don't feel guility about it. It was their bad...

You might feel bad if you were to return it to a different walmart without the receipt, and get say 350 worth of store credit or cash ;)

I don't think this is a mistake, there was a thread in hot deals about this same drive in the same price range. Most Wal-Marts didn't have them, much less even knew what a dvd-rw was....

I am just curious to know how many are on there way to Wallyworld right now to see if there is a fat chance in hell that the same pricing mistake could have happened in their local store

I called my little bro and told him to go look. Hopefully he can find one and ship it up here. I will no longer go to Wal-mart. Lazy bastards. I called one day to ask if they had a game out, they said immediately "No, it hasn't come in yet, maybe in a couple of days"

F'ing game came out 2 years ago.

Supposedly a bunch of Walmarts did this around Xmas and early Jan. It was said that they were no longer being carried by Walmarts, hence the reason for the drop
