A technical glitch led Walmart to mark down a ton of brand new video games early this morning, and as a result, some lucky shoppers got their hands on $60 games like Grand Theft Auto V and Battlefield 4 for just $18 each.
The glitch, which led Walmartâs website to show super-cheap prices for many products this morning, has since been fixed, and handwaved by Walmart as a âtechnical error.â Although Walmart hasnât yet answered whether theyâll be honoring all of the orders put through last night, some people were able to order items and pick them up at their local stores today.
Some say they got Walmart to honor really crazy dealsâlike monitors for $9 and $2,000 TVs for just a few hundred bucksâbut we could only confirm the games. Kotaku reader David sent in some photos (above) of his own haulâtwo copies of Battlefield 4 and two copies of PokĂ©mon X/Y
A whole bunch of gamers have gathered in a thread on the CheapAssGamer forums to talk about what theyâve snagged. One savvy shopper brought the Walmart glitch to Target and convinced them to price-match four brand new games for $18 each.
Weâve reached out to Walmart to find out if theyâll be honoring all of the orders.
