    $15 games @ Walmart B&M (YMMV), xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS
    Long time lurker, first time poster so please be gentle...I was in Walmart (on Cone Blvd in Greensboro, NC) earlier this evening and noticed they were putting out video games in a bin that said $15 in the Electronics section. It included games for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS and even the PC. The saleswoman said Walmart was getting rid of excess stock in preparation for the holiday shopping season. I'm not sure if it is nationwide or not but these would make great gifts, stocking stuffers or cheap additions to your game collection. I understand that you might find some of them cheaper online and some are not the greatest but others were better quality titles that you don't see in retail stores at this price unless you get lucky with Target clearance. I didn't have a lot of time to dig through them but I bought Ninja Gaiden II (Xbox 360) and Sonic's Sega Genesis Collection (PS3). I have listed the ones I remembered seeing, focusing mainly on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 games: Hopefully, I'll have more time to check it out tomorrow since I'm off for the holiday.

    Xbox 360
    Rainbow 6 Vegas 2
    Bioshock
    Ninja Gaiden II
    LEGO Batman

    This is very much YMMV. All walmarts have a $15 bin, but it is often picked clean.
    Ours has primarily ancient original XBOX games and Maddens from '07

    I've never seen a $15 bin like this in all the Walmarts I've been to except for some clearance shovelware. Just thought I would contribute to other slickdealers but I expected the negatives to start ...

    Sorry to disappoint you, but what he said is true. uricmu wasn't being negative rather pointing out a fact, discount bin at any store tend to be YMMV. Don't let that get you down.

    There are actually some decent titles in there for those of us who don't want to pay $40+ but still want a quality game experience. (e.g Bioshock, AC, Burnout, RS: V2, are all solid titles for those that haven't played them yet)

    Thanks for the encouragement, maybe I was a little sensitive but I was excited to share. FYI, this was at the Cone Blvd Walmart in Greensboro, NC.

    Kind of an open-ended question, there. What type of games do you like to play? Check GameRankings.com and MetaCritic.com.

    Of the ones the OP listed, Orange Box and Bioshock are top FPS games. For third-person, Gears of War is excellent. Assassin's Creed, also third-person, is not as highly rated, but with the sequel coming out next week, it's worth $15 to play before AC2. Mass Effect is good if you're into RPGs.

    Since the contents of the bargain bin will differ, there's no guarantee you can get the above games for $15.

    As for other relatively cheap Xbox 360 games that are good, I've seen Grand Theft Auto IV for the clearance price $20.98 at my local Targets. Definitely worth a pick-up at any price. Around the same price point: Elder Scrollsblivion (RPG), Virtual Fighter 5.

    More options open up at the $30 price point, Street Fighter IV, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, etc.

    I got Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 (PS3) for $10 from walmart last weekend. After I got MW2 I got no reason to play that game again..should have sold it sealed.

    Not to threadcrap, but the majority were picked up last year for $10 a piece at WM...and most everyone dropped to $10 at one point or another through the course of the year on most if not all of those 360 titles.
