Walmart’s going mark-down crazy with game prices by cutting $10 off a whole list of gaming titles until Christmas Eve.

• Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Wii) – now $40
• Lego Rock Band (Wii) – now $40
• Rock Band: Beatles (Wii) – now $40
• MySims: Agents (Wii) – now $40
• Tekken 6 (Xbox 360 and PS3) – now $50
• Madden 2010 (Xbox 360 and PS3) – now $50
• WWE 2010 (Xbox 360) – now $50, WWE 2010 (Wii) – now $40
• Batman Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) – now $50
• Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) – now $50
• Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) – now $50
• Halo 3:ODST (Xbox 360) – now $50
• Uncharted 2 (PS3) – now $50

Also, those in the market for the newly priced $199 Wii will get a $50 gift card (US) to spend on anything and everything Walmart has to offer its customers.

Go shop.

Rumor has it that this Saturday, Walmart plans to hand customers a $100 gift card when they purchase an Xbox 360 Arcade system for $199.

That’s basically getting the console for $99, and you can use the card for groceries, games, Christmas presents, or whatever else tickles your fancy.

Supposedly, the big box store will also have the Sony Blu-ray player on sale for $148.

Keep this as rumor until Walmart releases its weekly sales flier on Wednesday.

It’s out on November 10.

During an interview with MSNBC – posted below the break – NOA’s Reggie Fils-Aime revealed that the DSi has moved 2.2 million in North America alone.

That’s a massive amount, there.

Reggie also let slip that Walmart is the company’s biggest customer, when asked who its largest retail partner was.

“On a retail basis, certainly from my region which is Canada, the US, and Latin America,” said Fils-Aime, “Walmart is my biggest customer.”

It’s probably because more families shop at the beast of Bentonville than their local game stores, because you can get your potatoes and paper towels alongside the latest Professor Layton instead of making separate trips.
