Walmart honors massive shelf price mistake, lucky buyer gets two $2,299 CyberPowerPC gaming rigs for $1,099 each
Redditor gets a gaming PC at more than 50% off in a physical Walmart retail store.
In a remarkable turn of events, a Walmart shopper managed to secure two $2,299 CyberPowerPC gaming rigs for just $1,099 each, thanks to a significant shelf price error. The gamer, u/joker497, shared the story on the r/pcmasterrace subreddit, where the community celebrated the "deal of the year." The CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme desktop, featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, is typically priced at $2,299.
While it's not clear if the pricing mistake was intentional or a genuine sale, Walmart employees honored the lower price for the two units. With the AI-driven memory chip shortage and high-end GPU price hikes, this system represents an exceptional opportunity for gamers seeking a high-end PC at a fraction of its actual cost.
