Of course, the downside is, you actually have to give Wal-Mart money.

We at N4G like to whine about Sony and Microsoft being evil, but neither of them hold a candle to Wal-Mart.

sonarus6620d ago

55 bucks for a controller is BS. Six axis should have dropped to 45 and DS3 should have debuted at 50.

Violater6620d ago

90% sure it's a mistake on walmarts part and the website will be updated to reflect the correct price.
As has happened many times before, order when they cancel b!tch at them and get a $10 gift card.
Thats what I usually do.

lodossrage6620d ago

Walmart's evil is legendary. From their business practices to the way they treat their employees.

Fishy Fingers6620d ago

Ooooh the cooperations... *shakes in booties*

j/k.

CaptainHowdy6620d ago

In order to have rechargeable batteries in the 360 controller u need to shell out like $15-20 extra bucks. And when u get the Wii remote, the nunchuck is extra...costing u $60 total. All three systems went up in price in their controllers...just like their games. It is the nature of new technology. $5 ain't that much.

ambientFLIER6620d ago

Lol, rechargeable batteries are $2.50 a pair, $5 even with a charger.

I've been saving my plays through Heavenly Sword on Hell Mode and Uncharted on Crushing for when I get a Dualshock 3.

Jim Crowslaw6620d ago

i think Walmart is goin to come out wit a next gen system that'll outshine the ps3, will and 360. Its goin to be called Your Wal-come.

CNIVEK6620d ago

Wal-Mart sells EVERYTHING below the MSRP. DUH!!! 0_o

deeznuts6620d ago

Yeah I guess someone forgot about "rollback" and that freaking yellow happy face or whatever it is.

I try not to go into WalMart, at least limit it as much as I can. Not that I care if they are evil or not (I could care less, if it saves me money, I worry about ME!). It's just that, whatever is the worst people in your city, you can find a bunch of them at your local Wal Mart usually.

Thepro3186620d ago

walmart big talk about rolling back prices give me 45.99 DS3 you be good with me

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle27d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde34d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy35d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga36d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199235d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga35d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger35d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box36d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion35d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7236d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7535d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit35d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7736d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
