LGR - PC Games at Walmart/Sam's Club in 2016

I can't even bring myself to look at those shelves anymore. It's just sad. I remember the advent of Steam, and complaining that if it kicked off eventually we'd lose the wonderful boxes, manuals, and various inclusions; even placing at risk our abilities to play the games in the future if anything happened to the service. Back in the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s, almost every released game would be considered a "collector's edition" nowadays. Heck, even a standard manual from days gone by would be considered a $29.99 "strategy guide" today... It just sucks.

I buy music and movies digitally, but buying games that way seems wrong to me somehow. It's hard to explain and I'm sure if I tried it I wouldn't mind. Especially since the games can be updated easier and you have instant access to content.

There's no way to go wrong! The Costco kitchen in downtown Vancouver is nonstop busy, and it's no wonder why.

You mentioned Costco... I have dinner at Costco the night I do my grocery shopping. $1.99 for a hot dog and bottomless soda. You really can't beat that. They sell the soda by itself for $1.49!! THE HOTDOG IS 50 CENTS.

Wow, that's awesome. I'd love to see more videos like that, as I'm from Hungary, I was always intrigued by the shops in the US. Some really expensive stuff :D We have a lot of physical releases, we have Spintires and Superhot for a while now and as they are a really popular, a bunch of simulator games are getting some really cheap, they're 10 $ at most, boxed releases. Stuffs like Car Mechanic Sim, Robots 2017 or Farm Expert.

I'm completely surprised you missed or didn't mention the PS2 Grand Theft Auto collection on the shelf there! It was at my Walmart too a while back for 10 dollars so I just picked it up to say I bought a new PS2 game in 2015.

Our game got a physical release too, but only in Europe. It comes in the standard DVD style case. One thing we've learned is store or customer chargebacks are a bitch and it's going to be a reason contributing to fewer and fewer boxed releases of games.

Spintires! Totally worth getting.

In Canada (at least in Quebec) all games above 15$ are behind glass doors in Walmart. And there are almost none left, mostly console games. Also Spintires is so rage inducing for me. I can't play it anymore.
