K-Mart... $200 PS4, $100 New 3DS XL, $30 Splatoon... CONFIRMED LEGIT BY SECRET TUNNEL!!!
 
LINK

Looks like it is nearly impossible to actually find the stuff AT a K-Mart, no surprise, but some people have been successful getting other stores to price match? It's sort of a weird hard to find link on K-Mart mobile though, so price matching is kind of here and there for it.

I'm too old and carless to run all over trying this kind of thing nowadays, but good luck to anyone who wants to give it a shot?

I'm young and broke enough to try this. Will let you know what I find.

I think this must be because KMart is phasing out video games. The one here on Guam has hardly anything left, but I'll check it out. Even I might bite on a $200 PS4.

Oh yea, Guam doesn't follow mainland prices anyway, so this doesn't help me, sadly. Plus I called and they have no PS4 or New 3DS and I'm sure they don't have Splatoon.

LOVE YOU ZERO



Price-matched at Wal-Mart.

Whoa! Insane deal!

@Jargon Yeah I know mine has like no game section anymore. Usually when these really insane deals happen you're almost never going to find them at the actual stores, but price matching can be pretty successful.

@Secret_Tunnel Sweet! How exactly did you get the price match, just show them the link on your phone?

Maybe I should try this after all. Not that I need any new hardware right now...

Man, if I was in the states I think I would do this, despite never having owned a Sony console. Mostly to play Madden.

@Jargon It's like such an awesome deal right now but... to be honest I have so many games to play it'd probably sit around not getting used much, and then by the time I can dig into it, PS4 would be around $200 (or at least easier to find on sale for that price) anyway.

I'm still tempted though. But I'll probably hold off.

Also tempted on that New 3DS XL for $100.

With my busted 3DS XL, that NEW deal (see what I did there?!) Is sooooo good. I'll have to check it out, depending on how long it goes for.

Wait I just remembered that The Last Guardian is actually releasing.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Do I need to give this a shot? I dunno.

@Zero

Showed one of the electronic associates the page on my phone, yeah. He asked me to refresh the page, I did, he looked at it again, everything checked out, so my friend and I each walked out with a $200 PS4 bundle.

Really depends on who you end up talking to more than anything, I think. Up to the person working to make the call.

Some nice deals.

@Secret_Tunnel

Congrats!

Haha. I don't think I'll try this, but I'm happy it worked for you!

Oh man! I just called my local Walmart and they already knew what i was talking about even before explaining the deal. Sounds like they've caught wind of it. Boooooo!

My brother managed to score a New 3DS XL out of the deal. We forgot that they don't come with an adapter of their own though, and this is his first handheld system since the first-gen DS, so it's going to be a little more than just $100 in the end.

I'm tempted to go for the PS4 since it worked for the 3DS, but apart from Arkham Knight and some old PS2/3 games that I missed out on, I can't really see myself using it much, so I'm not yet convinced I should get it.

Winner!! Got my New 3ds!!! Details later!!

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

I, too, experienced this same exact situation at the Walmart I went to.

The barely-18-year old worker in the electronics department said people had been coming in yesterday asking about the price match, but her manager was turning them away because it was a "fraud" despite having the evidence of the mobile site. I kept pressing the issue until she got whoever the manager was today to come over. He looked at the site on my phone, refreshed the page, and said 'ok, sell it' without even a second thought or care. When the employee was telling him what she went through yesterday, he shrugged his shoulders like he didn't even care. I'm sure she could care less either, but she was surprised.

So I got my New 3DS XL for 46 bucks (I had a 60 dollar rebate card from some new tires we bought!!). What a score. I warned the girl about what else was being asked for, including Splatoon and the PS4.

So I guess it depends on the location and the manager that day. And how many fucks they give.

HoH, your conclusion makes a lot of sense. I could see how that would be the case. And in that case, that's on K-Mart. But maybe they just want to bring Walmart down with them....

I just remembered Metal Gear Solid V comes out soon right?

UGGGGGGGGGGGG. But nah, don't need a PS4 right now.

I guess.

@Hero_Of_Hyrule Is it?! That's... odd. Kojima usually likes to be at the top of the tech. Hmm. I wonder if the PS3 version will be held back in important ways?
08/17/15, 04:46   
@Zero

It's slightly inferior to the PS4 version graphically (not in any way you'd notice in the moment), but the Fox Engine was made from the ground up to be portable to plenty of different consoles so the game looks excellent no matter what you play it on. High-end PC version looks even better than the PS4 version.

I'm going to guess that this isn't going to work for me being in Canada, right? Otherwise I'd jump on that New 3DS XL.
