Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

did that have any disconnection problems? I have it but still haven't opened it. prefer wearing earbuds so I mainly use my ps earbuds which does disconnect sometimes. will keep using it until I get my hands on the audeze maxwells

Zero issues. I'm just not a headphones person. Always prefer home theater/surround sound. Yet I own Airpods Pro 2, Beats Studio Pro, Razer Kraken v3 Pro, and Sony XB910N headphones...
 
checked two stores yesterday. One had the camo PS5 headset marked $50 yet it was sold out. The other store had one in stock and marked with a yellow clearance sticker $10 off! For $90. Had an employee scan it and sure enough it was the same.

The rep told me their budget only allows for a $10 clearance discount.

Thank you. Hope it’s a national clearance cycle. I’m traveling today and can visit a few stores. Sand land for $20 is great. Almost got it in Japan a few months ago. Thought it was a JP exclusive yet realized it wasn’t.
 
Replying as a separate post.

Kyoya was correct. These may be a national clearance. In a store now with a limited selection though every game is tagged wrong that was listed and is scanning at the quoted prices.

i don't think most of those games are newly on clearance. i know Saints Row, Hello Neighbor, Aliens Fireteam, Street Outlaws and Alone in the Dark are from a while ago.

Thank you for letting me know.

I have a new one tonight. Picked up Gotham Knights PS5 with preorder DLC for $10. Already bought it a while ago for $10 without the DLC. Here's the oddity, and I always check for damage/loose discs.

The copy that they gave me from the locked cabinet has a spine cut in the middle... except the plastic wrap is perfectly intact and NOT cut. The actual factory plastic does NOT look cut (I didn't open it yet). It seems it was cut from the factory before it was sealed.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked up AitD, sand land and pacific drive at my store. Saw Banishers PS5 for $30 and a NFS on Switch for $10 too. Still waiting for Lies of P and Wo Long to drop to $20 or under.

Anyone play Banishers? is it worth picking up?

I found some of these titles last night locally. They were out of Pacific Drive and Alone in the Dark, but found them today at a different location.

Pretty much same for me now that i think about it. Banisher had a yellow tag on it but it was ripped off and couldnt see the price so I'll take a guess it's the same price. Singer star was $3 I just wish there were games I was actually interested in.
 
Much success!!

One of my Wally’s in central CT had just about everything from that list. Got the 3 I really wanted. Might that I return later to grab a couple more.

Congratulations! I missed out on alone. Did find pacific though the plastic was ripped on the bottom, the employee agreed we should check it to make sure it was complete and not a return. I refused to take it since it was technically opened though he offered it to me for $10 so I decided why not.

Banishers is a great game
 
We know, it just got shadowed probably because of racists out there. I feel like most times when theres a main black character people mentions DEI or woke whatever these idiots call out etc

Sure there's some BS both ways but I see that kind of crap all the time. There are those out there that try to make everything about that when it ain't, whether because they are an unscupulous grifter or alternatively just trying to push their agenda/politics.
 
Really didnt need to go to that extreme
Who me?

Yeah but it still probably effect the outcome of a game being overlooked or whatever. That with the bad modern journalists out there and manipulation from gamers with their BS. I see alot of good games out there that get brushed to the side by the same gamers that complain that there arent any games out there playing console wars.

Or it could be they just fell victim to a bad release window... if it launched at the same time as other big AAA titles games like Banishers at full price get passed on.

And seeing im willing to do the work and look back that came launched the same month as PErsona 3 reload, FF7 Rebirth Granblue Fantasy Relink and Suicide Squad to just name a few.... there isnt always some grand conspiracy behind everything.

It's not a conspiracy, multiple games can be talked about and exist doing the same time frame without being brush to the side. That release window talk is nonsense. People just didnt have interest to begin with for whatever reason either what i said or whatever. Once whatever dmg is done its done see it with other games this year
 
Banishers is a great game
I totally agree, Banishers was great. I total agree it was the release date. I have limited time, When Yakuza and Grandblue got release in the same window I almost passed on it. No sense buy I game it will take months to play. I ended up getting it due to the me loving Plague tale so much and it was a focus game also. I ended up playing banishers more than the other two in the first couple of months. I thought it was well worth full price. You play as red mostly but red and antea are equally great. I also admit i am turned off by those sweet baby type game, this game was far from it.
 
Mine also had Sandland marked at $20, along with these others.

PS5
$10 Dead Island 2
$30 Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
$15 Pacific Drive
$10 The Crew Motorfest
$10 Prince of Persia Lost Crown

I was in a hurry, didn’t get a pic. There may have been more. They still had some from the previous round of clearance too

Interesting, so everybody has the same price for these games. I've seen PoP but it didn't have a price on it now might have to get a scan on it considering thw situration

I never saw a Crew or PoP in my travels. I was able to find all of the original list of PS5 games over the weekend and picked up a few.

Absolutely great game, shame it has been overlooked. For once a game was accurate in that not everyhting is so black and white. Felt like decisions mattered.

I liked the world building and would enjoy a sequel, probably never going to happen. Same with Immortals of Aveum.

Release timing and marketing could have really helped both of these games.

Picked up Sandland & Pacific Drive today. Thanks.
 
Release windows wise it varies as a gamemay just not be good enough for it to matter. But definitely can help or hurt in some cases.

Take tales of Symphonia as an example of perfect storm conditions plus strong word of mouth and Nintendo power ads. It sold extremely well for a otherwise niche series that only had 2 prior releases outside of Japan and average under 100k probably around 75k at most. Ignoring that eternia (destiny ii) released around 9/11. Or their generally poor choices like abyss releases around the same period as ff12 did.

Symphonia was also the first game to get a decent print size and a reprint plus Nintendo players choice edition. Until much later for abyss and vesperia they didn't reprint them at all. And the prints were under 100k with abyss being 10k in eu and 40k in na for the 3ds version.

But bamco poorly ran the series for whatever reason Until recently. Had they capitalized on Symphonia successful launch and continued releases on the Gamecube and multiplat that would have established a base to continue off of.


Tldr good release windows help. But proper management goes a lot further.
 
I need a POP at that price

Can anyone else confirm. PoP for PS5 is $10 nationwide like the other list of games. I found one store out of the ten nearest Walmarts who actually has stock. They told me it’s tagged $19.93 when I called, I doubt they scanned it.

Most stores I visited in the last week did NOT game updated price tags which is why they still had stock of these clearance games.

The stores I tried that had all the other games for the prices most have found did NOT have PoP for $10. Sounds like maybe it was just that one lucky poster’s store.

I agree. I went to that store tonight and PoP for PS5 was in the value game section and not with the current games in the locked cabinet. It was tagged $19.93.
