Seriously, if their .223 ammo prices were better than online prices, I would buy everything at Wal Mart.



Thank you Sam Walton!

I hate walmart. The only thing I get there is ammo and I'm in and out as quickly as possible.

When I go to walmart is the only time I carry 3 guns on me.

Did you buy ammo with your gift card? If not epic fail.

Quoted:


I get out of there fast too... seems like all the degenerate scum of the earth are in there at once....

I bring at least a spare mag while there...

Never know when someone wants to re-create the Luby's Cafeteria Scene at a wal-mart... especially due to the high volume of people there...

The spare mag should get me to the closest exit, or to the Ammo counter (whichever is Closest )

Yes. The protectionist morons who hate Wal-Mart seem to be forgetting one thing...that Wal-Mart is an American company. They buy cheap shit made in foreign countries (by other American companies) and sell it for large profit.





The haters just hate Walmart because the cheap lawn furniture factory or plastic cup molding factory is in China, not Wisconsin. Look at the bigger picture.  

a $20 Wal Mart gift card!

A tip for shopping at Wal-Mart....  never EVER grab a cart or a basket!  By doing this, you'll manage to keep yourself from buying useless, impulse shit.  Only buy what you can carry in two arms...  

At least that's my method

Um... no.





It's getting pretty common for places to offer pre-order incentives. Some offer exclusive in-game content, but places like Amazon, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart have been known to throw in gift cards as well.





I hate Gamestop because I hate the nerd crowd that would rather go there than a mainstream place. I tolerate it because they're usually the most likely place to have something that is already out of stock at the mainstream joints (particularly big sports titles shortly after release).





As for Wal-Mart, I like the convenience, but I hate trying to shop around all the stupid people who just meander and don't know what they're there to buy. Plus, the Wal-Mart here has a major problem with checkout lines. The checkout people are horrendously slow and that matter is intensified by the customer base consisting of a combination of non-English speakers and penny-pinching white trash. I can't buy ice cream because it's guaranteed to melt before I can leave the store.





I rented Halo back in the day and have played it online on my PC. I enjoyed the game but I didn't get into the whole buying each new game thing (though I did with some other series). I played Halo 3 multiplayer with my cousin and his friends on several occasions. Is the Reach multiplayer pretty consistent with the previous games? I wasn't planning on getting it, but I'm a little burned out on Bad Company 2 after finally unlocking everything (Vietnam is coming soon) and I won't buy MW2 as long as it's still full price... so I'm looking for an alternative FPS and I know the Halo games are usually a safe bet.

I buy groceries and household stuff at Walmart.  You encounter some pretty lamentable people there, but the same is true of GD.  On the other hand, the last time I was there, four or five nicely dressed, well groomed people made eye contact with me, smiled, and said "Good Morning" or some other brief pleasantry.  I also saw one of the most strikingly attractive, forty-ish women I've even seen in my life.  So you do encounter some pretty non-lamentable people there just as happens here.

We've got a Sam's Club membership. I can't believe how much cheaper things are there when you buy them in bulk.



... of course a typical shopping trip we end up spending three times more than we normally would, but we get four times the quantity.
