Walmart Glitch Gives $18 New Games To Some Lucky Shoppers

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 Walmart's website to show super-cheap prices for many products this morning, has since been fixed, and handwaved by Walmart as a "technical error." Although Walmart hasn't yet answered whether they'll 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 deals—like monitors for $9 and $2,000 TVs for just a few hundred bucks—but we could only confirm the games. Kotaku reader David sent in some photos (above) of his own haul—two copies of Battlefield 4 and two copies of Pokémon X/Y.3

A whole bunch of gamers have gathered in a thread on the CheapAssGamer forums to talk about what they've snagged. One savvy shopper brought the Walmart glitch to Target and convinced them to price-match four brand new games for $18 each.45

We've reached out to Walmart to find out if they'll be honoring all of the orders

The new CS:GO crates are selling for over $12 on the Steam marketplace. I might need to idle on a drop server for a while...

So, are you just the only person that has thought to do this? Why the shit do these things sell for so damn much?

The only reason they're going for so much is because this crate contains a new series of weapon skins that literally just came out. Eventually, these new crates will start flooding the market and devalue to a few cents. There's also a special DreamHack crate that'll start dropping during their winter CS:GO tournament in a couple of weeks, and I expect that they'll go for a few bucks as well.

Used $15 in Amazon rewards points to pick up this:



I probably won't go too deep beyond 6 (my favorite), but I dug around and found the Quick Look last night and it looks pretty awesome.
