Sims2: University at Walmart question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims (More info?)

I read where somebody bought University at Walmart for $29.87. I thought
it would be more
like around 35 dollars. Has anybody else who got it at Walmart paid just
this much? That is how much
the EP's cost for Sims1. I wouldn't mind saving about 5 dollars.

I was debating about Best Buy or Walmart.

Bluegenie2, I bet you know!

Now I read somebody got it at Walmart for $32.26. I don't understand
that.

I didn't (I got mine at CompUSA for full price), but last week I got
Gran Turismo 4 at Walmart for $45. New games are often cheaper by $5
at Walmart.

What I don't understand is the difference of price at different
Walmart's.
I plan to go to Walmart in the morning. Bet I have to pay close to 35
dollars.

I'm going to Best Buy to buy a new DVD player for my other TV, but bet
University will
be higher at Best Buy.

It could be the difference between living in a state with sales tax and one
without.

I got mine at Target for 34.99 because I had a gift card. Best way to spend
it that I could think of.

I'm getting the UK version from Amazon for £11.98 inc p&p!
I did have to cash in 20,000 points id collected on a survey website to get
a £5 Amazon discount voucher.
I thought it was a worthy cause. )

At the one I work at it's $29.86 +tax. (NC) What I'm not exactly
understanding is how I saved $15.00 preordering it from EA with the birthday
coupon they sent me. I paid $25.94 total, with shipping which was standard
4-5 day shipping.

Oh...my game was here when I got home from the doctors this afternoon. Still
can't play it as the dvd-rom on the kids computer isn't working and my Sims
2 is DVD. Ah wells.

Okay answering you here.
I really have no idea how much it is at our store right now as i have kept
myself away from that section, lol.............will power!
But usually the first week it is out, it will be cheaper.
After the first week, it will go up..............this goes for movies too,
best time to get them is the first week.
Different walmarts have different prices because of the areas they are in.
For instance, our walmart is in the 'rich' area of town so our prices are a
bit higher than some of the others in 'poorer' areas. But at the same time,
we have a Target, Goody's, Old Navy and a few other well known stores in the
same shopping center as we are in............so a lot of competition there
too.
As for me, I will probably wait until next week or later to get the game so
I can use my discount and get some money off.
By the way, most walmarts do price matches too...........so if you find it
somewhere else and it is cheaper, we may match the price.........but bring
the ad of the place that has it cheaper. Walmart will not price match on
things from other walmarts.

Piper, do you work for Walmart? I noticed on their website it is $34.82.
I just can't understand why so many different prices for Walmart?? I
really don't want to go to
Walmart in the morning. LOL I think I'm gonna pay a couple dollars more
if that is the case &
go to Best Buy where I want to buy my DVD player. I want to save time!

Our Wally World offers a "match the best deal" policy. So if someone
early in the week showed up with a printed ad proving it's $5 off down
the road, they'll print up a sign and hang it, and delare it to be the
$5 off too.

Your Best Buy may do the same.

What amazed me is that Kmart is no longer selling computer games.
Console games, yes, but not computer games. (Kmart is closer, so I
braved the snow yesterday). I may try Wally World this morning but I
really hate shopping there.

Thanks Bluegenie2 for this information. I didn't know about some of it.

I did get it this morning at one of our Walmart's which is a Super
Walmart & it was
$29.87! Yippee that is 5 dollars cheaper than most other places around
here.
Strange part is it was around 10 am....they didn't even have them out on
the shelves. LOL
It's not the people that work there......it IS the management!! I bet
you know what I'm talking about.
The other Super Walmart which is further away from me is really a lot
better regarding management. haha

Hope you're feeling better, thanks again!

Why does it make a difference if your sims is DVD? I don't think that
matters, the EP is the same CDs for everyone. Or do you mean your own
computer won't play CDs? Send the kids round to their friends' houses, I
say.

The dvd drive on my kids computer is toast. Temporarily solved that by
taking the one off my computer and into the kids pc. Ironically, I can play
Sims 2 now, which is the dvd version, but not Uni...as my Uni disk 1 is
defective.

I got mine today at Walmart for $29.87 + tax, so that is probably about it
for Walmart.

On a side note, I also got a few of those Swoops candy containers. While a
pack of 3 costs $1.44, getting them individually from a display on the end
of an aisle costs $0.31 each... Good savings there if you buy a bunch of
individuals...

EP1 works on the DVD & CD versions of the game.

After you install EP1, You will need to use your EP1 CD from then on
to play the game, though....not the DVD.

I have the DVD version of Sims2, as well.
