One gamer reports that he managed to purchase a copy of Lumines for the PSP for the price of just $0.10 from Wal-Mart. The exploitable game was found in a bargain bin with a price tag of $11.83, but it scans through the till at just $0.10!

Mistakes happen.

My virtua tennis 3 for ps3 ran through the till as £5 when it was £50. They couldnt argue.

What's this? Lumines 1 sold for 10 cents? Convert US dollars to UK pounds and that would have sold for 1 pence, so cheap!

Lol, I got mine at Walmart last night in the bargain bin for $10, but 10 cents is pretty ridiculous. My hat is off to you friend.

This happened to me when I bought my Nomad (that portable Sega dohicky). It was marked at 40 bucks, but when I brought it to the cashier I only payed 4 for it.

It was in the Wal-Mart bargain bin too, lol.

I am another lucky soul who has benefited from Wal-Mart's secret sale. I'm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. All in all I went to 4 of the 6 WallyWorld's in this city. At the second one I found a single copy of Lumines, tagged $11.83, yet scanned in at the magical price of 10¢! I proudly paid the dime & 2 pennies. On another note, at the third WallyMart, I picked up 4 UMD movies @ 2 for $10! I chose Blade, Shaun of the Dead, and the two Riddick movies. The fourth WMDS had a much larger selection, a dozen or more titles to choose from. I just opted to stop there. I can post my receipt later, but I hardly think it's neccesary. This is legit. I'm heading off to the other two WallsMart (free lobotomy included with every application!) today to hunt for other copies and other titles at the bargain price. I'd love to get Exit.

Can also confirm, Walmarts in Canada have Lumines for .10, friend just picked up the last 2 at an local store, they were on the shelf with a green sticker price of .10 and not in any bargin bin.

Hmm, where do you find your exchange rates? :p 10 cents is 4.9 pence. ;)

Where is the bargain bin at Walmart? I went there yesterday, and I didn't see a bargain bin at the video game section, and didn't see Lumines by the psp stuff either.
Is the bargain bin by a different department?

The bargain bin is often near the entrance of the electronics section, right next to the bargain DVDs.

Keep your eyes peeled for 2/$10 remnants of UMD movies. That promo is 2 weeks old now and stock is low (Universal and New Line titles only by my reckoning). I bagged 8 titles myself.
