Bargain Brawl: Preorder for $19.82! [update 2]

by Eric Caoili { Jan 11th 2008 at 9:45AM }

You'll be kicking yourself for months if you don't rush over to Wal-Mart's online store right now to put in your Super Smash Bros Brawl preorder before someone at the giant retailer wises up and updates the listing. At $19.82, this is likely the lowest you'll see this game priced for the next couple of years, so you would be a fool to not immediately pounce on this. And you know how we feel about fools -- we have no pity for them. None!

Here's a protip for those of you who missed out on this reservation deal because you didn't hear about it until much later in the day: read Wii Fanboy more often.

Update: Sale's over, kids! We hope you took advantage of this while it lasted!

Update 2: Wal-Mart has canceled all preorders. :'o(

[Thanks, John, Keith, and Mario!]

THANK YOU WII FANBOY!

MountainLionLink @ Jan 11th 2008 10:01AM

Meh, I pre-ordered my copy back over the summer. Plus you would have to actually go to Wal-Mart.com, and who wants to do that horrible action?

sly @ Jan 11th 2008 10:44AM

I almost didn't do it for that exact reason

vidGuy @ Jan 11th 2008 12:43PM

Mine's shipping to my home address.

vidGuy @ Jan 11th 2008 12:43PM

Luke @ Jan 11th 2008 10:01AM

WTF!? I bet this is a fluke.

troy @ Jan 11th 2008 10:48AM

yeah but they still have to honor the price! yay!

Snogrog @ Jan 11th 2008 10:01AM

GOT IT. Now I can only hope they don't screw us when they realize their mistake.

wiiwii @ Jan 11th 2008 10:43AM

How would they be screwing you when you know very well the game is worth more than that yet you take advantage of there price mistake. If they fix it and make you pay the difference before it's shipped I say that's more than fair.

Snogrog @ Jan 11th 2008 10:01AM

GOT IT. Now I can only hope they don't screw us when they realize their mistake.

Chachi @ Jan 11th 2008 10:03AM

Chachi @ Jan 11th 2008 10:04AM

you're the best wii fanboy! THANKS!

Chachi @ Jan 11th 2008 10:04AM

my bad, i thought my first comment didn't work

Vogna @ Jan 11th 2008 10:06AM

I got mine

eppyjerk @ Jan 11th 2008 10:10AM

Oh yeah!

punkjediguy @ Jan 11th 2008 10:11AM

You are amazing. Thanks for the tip.
I'm pretty sure Wal-mart will honor the price even if they did make a mistake. On the other hand, this may not be a mistake as Wal-mart has made an odd deal with Nintendo before. See Chibi Robo Park Patrol:

jfanny88 @ Jan 11th 2008 10:13AM

Thanks so much!

bransman @ Jan 11th 2008 10:13AM

Just got it. Freaking awesome...Thanx NWF.

punkjediguy @ Jan 11th 2008 11:31AM

great. Now I'm the jerk who posts twice. Crap. This makes thrice.

Antonio @ Jan 11th 2008 10:16AM

This is a great deal, but I'm not sure I want to wait the extra few days for it to ship. Yep, I'm that nerdy

iconmaster @ Jan 11th 2008 10:16AM

Got mine! Awesome catch!

Halamar @ Jan 11th 2008 10:17AM

Thanks guys! This is an awesome tip! @MoutainLionLink - Well, normally I wouldn't go through them, but for a chance to save over half of the normal games price, I'll take this as a birthday treat.

Hunting_phoenix @ Jan 11th 2008 10:17AM

This was on CAG way before here. My bet is the people who sent this in found out via CAG somehow.

b @ Jan 11th 2008 10:19AM

cheap wii fighting ftw! i love this website =)

Eric @ Jan 11th 2008 10:20AM

HOLY CRAP! Thanks WiiFanboy. I was on the fence about picking it up until I saw this!

Beautiful.

Gonzo @ Jan 11th 2008 11:00AM

Thanks Wii fanboy. I was planning on waiting until this game went down in price anyway. I didn't have to wait very long at all.

My first fight: Mario VS Sonic

Been waiting for that one for 15 years.

LordCainX @ Jan 11th 2008 10:23AM

Thanks Wii Fanboy! This was a great find, and right before I was planning on going to reserve at a store.

JS Canuck @ Jan 11th 2008 10:20AM

Hey, I live in Canada anyone want to help me out here with buying this. I'll provide payment... pluh eeeeees!

email me at jorge[dawt]saban [at] rpfl[dawt]com

the real mii @ Jan 11th 2008 10:23AM

i am in canada also, but i don't believe they will ship outside of the US.

snu183 @ Jan 11th 2008 10:25AM

w00t, ordered the game 8-). though i hope gamestop isnt goin to have some sorta crazy preorder deal (but i already have mine preordered there also), but if all goes south i can always ebay this bad boy for $30. ps if u have spare money i would buy a couple copies for ebay ;-)

-d

icr2d2 @ Jan 11th 2008 10:30AM

they wont ship to Canada hence my request. I have a buddy who is in the states right now so I can have it shipped there. But then there's the issue of payment. Anyone wanna help a fellow Wii gamer. Think about it, if you're ever in canada you have a place to stay... Heh Heh Heh. :)

Jonathan Tran @ Jan 11th 2008 10:32AM

Okay, I ordered 3 copies, thanks for making me $60+ in profit, NWFB!!!!

icr2d2 @ Jan 11th 2008 10:32AM

They wont ship to canada hence the request for help. I can have it shipped my my buddies house (visiting the US for the next two months) but I need help with payment. Also, if you are ever in Toronto, Canada you have a place to crash.. Heh Heh Heh. Or, I can buy the game of anyone for $25 US. :)

Spike DT @ Jan 11th 2008 10:33AM

It is an awesome deal, but my problem here is the shipping time. I selected overnight shipping (still under $33), but it said it wouldn't arrive until maybe Friday, 2/15...why does Wal-mart need 3 days of processing time in addition to not being able to guarantee overnight shipping? If you don't mind the wait, its a fantastic deal though.
