PS3: Why go to Walmart for the 160GB model when BB has the 250GB one for the same price?

Um, was there a misprint in Walmart's BF ad scan? They have the Sony PS3 160GB model bundled with Unchartered for $199, while Best Buy has the 250GB model bundled with Unchartered for $199. Unless the 160GB model is worlds ahead in terms of manufacturing quality, why would anyone go to Walmart for a PS3? Especially with the $20 off $200 Amex deal at BB? Can someone please let me know if Walmart's ad was a mistake?

I have asked this already with no answer. What is your source? On the website Wal-Marts bundle is labeled as 250g. I also have the print ad in hand and it clearly displays 250g. Where are you seeing the 160g at Wal-Mart in this bundle?

FatWallet posted the Walmart adscan as soon as it was leaked. It's on page 5 of their Walmart PDF. Tried uploading it here but I keep receiving error messages.

vshiel L2: Beginner Member sinceNov 2011 Posts43 Reputation 21 Followers 0 + Give Rep	The 160GB should be a misprint. This is supposed to be the new super slim PS3, and that never came with a 160GB hard drive. Only 250 or 500. Last edited by vshiel; 11-21-2012 at 01:21 PM..

Walmart has corrected the mistake. Go to Walmart's BF ad page [walmart.com] and see for yourself (page 5).
