Article : http://asia.news.yahoo.com/070611/3/336k9.html

So, what do you think. That is crazy, Wal Mart taking 50% off. But that is where I am going to go buy it, because I also get an extra 4% percent off because my mom works there.
Two years ago I got the hard cover of the HBP for 13 dollars because I reserved it, so I got two dollars off. Then the original 50% off, plus my moms 4% percent off. I am saving loads!!!

I have a copy reserved at FYE and I think it's going to cost me 30 or something like that... But I am hoping that I will have the money after Otakon to get it...

They're ALL taking losses?!

Borders, Easons, B and N, even Hughes and Hughes!

They must be desperate to sell them.
