    So for 1 cent you can buy 33 disks and still say “keep the change”.

      Did you stop reading right at what you copied? The next sentence says all sales will be blocked. So you won’t be able to buy it.

      Sounds like the price reduction will be only in Walmart accounting system, so they can justify throwing them all away and write off the lost sales. I doubt they will actually sell all of those games.

        Walmart is selling through the website or their partners website. The stuff is kept in storage until the item is deemed useless.

          Per the article, Microsoft is paying them not to sell any of the physical games and take them off the shelves. I’ll bet dollars to donuts that they end up buried in a landfill next to ET.

        I was only joking about the “0.03 cents”. I’m on PS5, buy all games digital and find Microsoft disgusting so I wouldn’t buy it even for 0.03 cents.
