BENTONVILLE, Ark. (Dec. 2, 2009) – Gamers of all ages can gear up to save after Thanksgiving weekend as Walmart (NYSE: WMT) announces its next round of holiday savings, including new Rollbacks on many top 2009 games and a $50 Gift Card with Wii console purchase. Now through Dec. 24, the retailer will offer 15-20% savings on 25 top video game titles, including games for kids, families and extreme gamers, in stores.

Nice find OP, thanks.

Good chance Amazon will match the price once it goes live at Walmart. They've been playing the price war game with them for quite awhile so when one jumps, the other usually follows.

Confirm. I just received a mailer from WM and it did show a Wii for $199-$50 GC.

I refer to buy from Amazon because I won't have to pay any sale tax and maybe Bing Cashback?

 

[GoodRevrnd]

nuts. still loooking for a new super mario sale.

 

[leeland]

so there is a Walmart 20% bing cashback...

Any chance we can get this deal on the Wii online and also tag on the Bing CB? or is this only instore?

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

From what I've heard is that it's only B&M so the Bing would not work. If it was online as well, the Bing still wouldn't work because the rumor is that Bing for Walmart ends tomorrow.

I think I may be in for this.
There's a Walmart just down the street, and if that fails I'll come home and check Amazon.

Wonder what the protocol will be.. my Walmart is 24 hours, so do I just get in line at the electronics department before 8a?

Just as an FYI. Target also has a small deal running on the Wii's. $20 gift card with purchase. There's also a coupon on their site for a free Nunchuck remote with console purchase. But you can't print out the coupon if you have Win7, Chrome, FF, etc.

I read yesterday that the new pricing on the wii is going to be 149.99 so those of you who can wait may want to hold out.

Did the source happen to say when the new pricing would take affect? I have $70 in Target gift cards that are waiting to use towards a Wii.

I saw it on Yahoo's page yesterday but now I cant find it. Maybe it was a mistake? I cant find a hint of it anywhere on the internet.
