This is hilarious. This is the new price for Walmart after thr price drop and exchange rate change for other stores:

http://www.walmart.ca/wps-portal/storelocator/InlineLargePreview.jsp?imageId=12611&lang=

This is insane:

For example in FS or Best buy you can get the same bundle with Forza for $399.99. Mind you if the 360 is $349.99 in America it should be $367.49 here.

So that mean Walmart is making $100 profit on this sale? And they mention "free xbox live silver" lol wth is going on at walmart?

What a gigantic rip off. I hope NO ONE buys this. It is a gigantic joke.

There was a $50 price drop even and it doesn't even show more than a $20 price drop. This is ridiculous

Guess you didn't read, The FS and BB and other stores' bundles all have Forza too or other games. Hell Best Buy has Forza and Viva Piniata for $399.99 so basically Walmart is pocketing around $100 on each purchase

Yeah and that part is sad. They are trying to make it look like they are adding things to justify the price. I'm gonna call walmart and complain. Not sure if this is the same outside of toronto but this is just sickening.

I mean WTF where's the new price drop??? It's a price raise really in walmart!

I dont even know what you guys are complaing about. Yea the Walmart price is quite expensive for the US but here in UK you pay for X360 around $550 easy and thats probly the chepeast that you can get in the UK. In US X360 are much much more cheaper and here in the UK its a rip off....

Pretty much everything is a rip off in UK when you are buying gaming consoles. Even a new PS2 slimline is about $180 and you maybe get a free game with it.

So you guys should be glad you get such cheap prices in the US

First off walmart this walmart or walmarts in toronto in the least is screwing people over so don't ask what I'm complaining about ok? I don't care if you have to pay $3023 for a 360 it doesn't make what they are doing better or more right

Second if a UK price is $550 then that is about or around $225 in americ. The american 360 price is $349.99 which works out to a little over $700 UK

You did your math the wrong way, $550 US is about $225 UK, so they're paying about $1000+ US for a 360.

Walmart isnt screwing anyone over. They put a high price on which they can do, offcourse the price is crazy but if people wanna buy it from walmart then i guess they will have to pay that much, if they dont like the price then they can go to buy X360 somewhere else. Here in the UK the prices are all the same maybe $35 dollars difference between some shops but thats it.

And your calculation is wrong in the UK X360 premium is about £280 thats about $554 in the US. You said that in America you can get 360 for $350 thats about £173 in British Pound (UK money)

All in All you guys are saving £107 or in your currency $204 dollars. Pretty lame we pay £204 more for the same piece of **** that you guys are having in the US but only we pay £204 dollars more :roll:

I dont know about how much the games cost in US but here in UK games cost £40 thats about £80 dollars. But i did some research and at walmart.com you can preorder halo 3 for $60 but here in the UK a preorder halo 3 for £40 ($80)

We are paying some much more for the same games and same hardware and lets not even start to compare prices for PS3. The PS3 prices are really crazy

What in the hell...? Maths is really taking a beating in this thread. I think you'll find Mitjastiskovski already converted the price into US dollars. Secondly, we use the £ in the UK, and the conversion rate is currently about $2 to the £. So the maths you were looking for is that we pay about £225 for a 360. Thats $550, which is several hundreds of dollars more for a new 360 than the USA pays, plus we didn't get a price cut. So really, I'm with Mitjastiskovski that you shouldn't be complaining. One shop trying to rip you people off is not equivalent to every company ripping us off over here.

Yeah I did the math backwards there...

Anywho I don't get why you people keep saying don't complain. I get it that it is worse but that the same as saying if there is murders going on in Toronto or in London you shouldn't complain about them cause people are in wars in sri lanka or genocides in sudan.

I'm sorry but this thread is about a walmart in Canada. I live in Canada and I'm complaining about it. Sorry if there are worst things but start a thread about that then and talk about that there. I'm just talking about Walmart being a joke.

I mean on the whole everything other store so far I've seen is doing the right pricing but this is more so about walmart being greedy and ripping gamers off.
