I can't believe that K-Mart are running this "Wii games for $15" sale again.... I went to 3 different K-Mart's during the last catalogue period and none of them had any of the $15 games in stock. To make matters worse, one of the games I was searching for, And Then There Were None, is being advertised again! At least they've taken out Sam And Max series one, but seriously, why advertise these games if none of your stores have any copies. All three stores said they'd never even received stock of those two games. But I'm sure there's one store in NSW and another in Vic with massive amounts of these games, and of course they're covered by "Titles may vary by store", when it would be more accurate saying "Most stores won't have any. Good luck finding these games". Grrr

If you can't find the games you're looking for at Kmart, just grab a copy of the catalogue and take it along to an EB Games store and price match it there. _________________ PSWii60

EB Employees will usually ask you if they have the game in stock at K-Mart, and even go so far as to call the nearest store. If K-Mart don't have a copy, EB won't match it.

The effort is always appreciated, usually there are a few good deals but it's unlikely that there will be any sales until around Easter which sucks. _________________

Well that depends on how stingy your EB Games store is. I mean, I've been able to price match at an EB Games without even a catalogue before, let alone having the staff call up another store.

Hey "agracos" are you serious when you said they had NONE of the $15 dollar wii games, a lot of the wii and ds games kmart sells now are $15, if they had NONE then they must not have had many games on the shelf at all.
i should know i work for kmart. any games a store is missing they get sent in before thurs. same goes with ds games. maybe you should not go in last day of sale. they will usually give raincheck for any games that have not arrived in store first day of catalogue. u must work for eb or jb. prices too cheap for u.
