No doubt these are holiday bundles being clearanced out simply because it's not the holidays anymore, but Wal-Mart's poor judgment can definitely be to your benefit. Be warned that Wal-Mart deals vary from store to store, and there's a fairly high probability that your store will either have a different price on these or won't carry them at all. But if you happen to be going to Wal-Mart anyway, which we hear happens occasionally with a lot of people, it may be worth your time to check out the electronics section!

Do people REALLY go to stores and take pictures of prices to email to some jerks blog they read?

Do people REALLY ask unnecessarily rhetorical questions based on evidence that's right in front of their fucking face?

I went to Walmart today and I didn't see anything like that, it's probably only that store.

This is NOT just that one store. These are the holiday bundles and are in mass quantities at some stores. Reports from the last two weeks have it that they have been sold for as little as $7.98 (but are originally priced at $24.98). Just keep an eye out if your store doesn't have them clearanced.

Just checked my local store and everything was still full price. I hope some of it goes on clearance so I can get a controller for that cheap.

screw that, i'd rather get 2000 wii points for half-price, i would buy about 10

Haha, yeah. I could see getting another CC, nunchuk, and as many Wii Points cards as they'd sell me if they were all $10.

Local store didn't have any.
Then again, I never saw those bundles during the holiday season either.

My local walmart had them for 20, marked down from 25 originally. So I got the classic controller skin with the points card.

I got a DS Lite set for $15 at Walmart a couple weeks ago that included a pouch, screen cloth, three styli, and Star Fox Command. It was a great deal!

I was at Wal Mart yesterday, and I think they already sold out of the holiday bundles. I didn't see any, at least. I'll check again when I go.

Meh, it looks like the same worthless rubber controller gloves that are sold everywhere. I rather have my replaced plastic cases instead of those stupid gloves.

Are you not interested in getting $20 worth of merchandise for $10 or possibly less? Throw out the glove if you must, a nunchuk, classic controller, or Wii Points card would be a steal at that price.

I haven't been inside a Wal-Mart in nearly a year and this almost makes me want to at least check to see if my local one has this. I assume that it doesn't though.

I'd like to note that while I found a shitload of these at my local Wal-Mart, they were still at the (I assume) regular price of $25.
Bummer. Had they been $10 I would picked up like 20 of them for the 1/2 points, and then sold the controller gloves for like 99 cents on eBay.
