Isn't Steam supposed to be saving everyone money? And yet Walmart can outdo it. And getting them at walmart leaves you with a physical copy of the game on DVDs, manuals, game cases, and saves you the time and bandwidth and hassle to download the games in their entirety from Steam, which can take quite a while during busy times.
