Update: Seems like Wal-mart has either caught on to the pricing problem or games are selling out, because certain pre-orders are coming up as "Product Not Found!" errors. Though, some games are still available. Pre-order what you can, it's an online shopping frenzy!
Hurry fanboys! Walmart.com is either starting a new video game pre-order pricing policy or is having some serious pricing issues. Either way, everyone wins! Make like an antelope in heat (whatever that means?) over to Walmart.com's upcoming 360 games list. Once there, you can pre-order most upcoming 360 games for $20-$40 off of retail! We're for serious! Deals like getting Condemned 2 and Dark Sector for $19.82, Frontlines Fuel of War, Turok and LOST for $29.82 or The Club, Army of Two, Burnout Paradise and Devil May Cry 4 for $39.82. Again, these are pre-orders for the games and we have no idea why these are so cheap or if Wal-mart will even honor the prices. So, there's a metaphorical shake of the dice with these offers, but the savings alone may be worth a shot. Pre-order with reckless caution.
[Thanks, Chris Csanyi]

They had this for some Wii games too. They'll never honor the price either, none of these places do anymore.

No, They just canceled they orders. Not even a special email. They just clicked on the "cancel order" buttons for you. I got a email stating they're processing my order cancellation request and then another one saying they completed it.

Culdcept is a budget game; EB also has it for $40. The other price errors *are* pretty cool, though. That's why I sent in a tip about it 2 hours before you posted it (grumble).
I also missed the Smash Brothers Brawl $20 deal (double grumble).

Walmart will honor their pricing online. They have to.

Yeah... no... If it is for pre-orders specifically they are not held to any pricing listed online. If the product was physically released yes...
They have a statement that states pricing is subject to change blah blah blah... It even mentions errors in pricing do happen... Imagine that... Whatever the case they will contact you prior to the charge and ask if you still want it at the full price.
They either messed up or purposefully made an error to generate sales/buzz.
