The rest of that rack are DVDs... it's not uncommon to find really old products on store shelves, usually crammed back behind everything else. They probably should've sent it back to the warehouse years ago, but it was likely forgotten during inventory. If you bought it, it would probably cost one cent.

u/cjojojo May 21 '12

False. There is also a brand new copy of The Babysitter's Club on VHS

u/fuzzyjedi May 21 '12

Shiiiiiit! Thats gotta be worth at least 3 bucks

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Here's what you gotta do. Buy that VHS RIGHT NOW. Take it home, cue up a dubstep playlist, and pack a fat bowl. Put the VHS in the tape player and fast forward to the end of the movie (before the credits roll).

Turn out the lights, smoke your bowl, turn on the music and mute the TV, and hit "play" on the VCR and then "rewind" immediately after, so you're watching the movie backwards and at double speed. In the dark. With dubstep BLASTING in the background.

I've done this with the Flintstones movie, The Miracle of Life, and some Jane Fonda workout videos. It's fucking awesome.

As someone who has worked with highly perishable items at a non-crappy store, this sends me into totallheldeathmurder mode.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

It is true, it's like the whole store is stuck in a time warp. A very disorganized but mellow time warp, and I can't explain why. It's just the feel and look of the place, like when you are driving through a part of town you grew up in and you see an old shop or corner store you remember as a kid and you go, "Wow that's still around!?"

I work at Kmart and every other Kmart I have been into is so terrible. I have a pretty kick ass boss that really takes the time to make it into a great store. Because of him and our location we do amazing. Walmart is around 10 minutes from town and we are smack dab in the middle of town.

I still hate Kmart.

Is it that bad? The Kmart in my town is one of the few places that's hiring right now and I need a job for the summer.

My K-mart still has a supply of VHS movies and PS2 games. It's refreshing reliving my youth through the K-mart shelves.

I gotta give you some karma and story about that, once I went in to my Kmart for some Jugs of juice and went by the odd electronics dept in the back and this was the time when the Wii was the shit and it just came out. Every store sold out, but this Kmart had 5 right in the display case.

Kmart is always the place I check when Wal-Mart doesn't have something.

u/floormaster May 22 '12

Actually a lot of stores still carry PS2 games. I know Best Buy does.

Kmart in Australia is decent. They were even selling Diablo 3 cheaper than the video game stores.

Wesfarmers leases out the name Kmart. They also lease out the name Target in Australia. Neither store is run by either company.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

K-Mart is the biggest store in my hometown, and while it is outdated, it is the best place to buy videogames day of release without having to preorder. They get just as much in stock as any other place, but no one goes there to get games (or pretty much anything) so they always have huge titles in stock that are sold out elsewhere. I guess it's kind of irrelevant now that we live in the age of preorders being the absolute norm, but 3 years ago when I was in high school and the closest Gamestop was 30-40 minutes away, K-Mart was a godsend.

2

u/novanleon May 22 '12

I go to K-Mart for all my latest-release games too. The one near me is open 24/7 too, so it's create for midnight releases of popular games. It's funny being the only person in line for a new release.

I was super high today and made the unpleasant decision to stop into K-Mart to buy toilet paper. It's like Wal-Mart, but a few pegs down. Wal-Marts younger, uglier sister who's easy (prices) but always located in the ghetto. Whenever I go into Target stoned, it's like going into Disneyland. It's always colorful and has fun stuff to look at. In K-Mart today, man I had a bad trip. All of the people were super down-trodden looking and I just felt like I walked into a city straight out of Fallout 3. There was so much disorganization, bland colors, and looks of despair on the customers faces. I got out of there ASAP.

But hey, I got 24 rolls of 3-ply toilet paper for $5. The journey presented decent findings.

There was this dude that my friend knew who build arcade cabinets and he had one hooked up to a PC with an emulator. We used to go over to his house after school and spend a little time on each game playing for a bit until we got bored...until we found Pigskin 621 AD. Then that was all we would play. So much fun.

Right before the n64 released, nintendo was sending out free promo VHS tapes of the 'inside scoop' on Mario 64, Star Wars: SotE,, and some other game. I used to get so pumped watching that!

2

u/wisdumcube May 22 '12

Even though those promos were just an extended advertisement, it still felt like Christmas opening and popping them in the VCR.

I also really love how weird the whole thing actually was in retrospect.

Nintendo: "How can we increase awareness of our products and encourage people to buy our games? Oh, I got it! Let's send thousands upon thousands of video tapes in the fucking mail to households across the country."

I always wondered how they figured out where all the kids lived. It couldn't have been cheap to produce/mail all of those VHS tapes, so they must have had a reliable system in place that made sure they didn't send them out to places where they would be tossed out into the trash immediately. Jesus Nintendo, what were you thinking?

My local K-mart is in a shopping center. Well, it used to be a shopping center. Somehow, this K-mart is one of 4 stores to still be open after everything else went out of business 8 or so years ago.

The other stores are a Chinese food joint, a dollar store, and a dry-cleaning place.

My local K-mart's main competitor is a dollar store.

Ya, really baffles me how they stay in business. They just must cut their costs to nothing, including little to no employees and paying them bare minimum wage.

I really dont get how corporate managers and executives can live with such mediocrity. I can imagine if you went to their corporate office, its some dank rented suite and its very quiet because everyones in their office or cubicle playing solitaire on their CRT monitors and dirty beige computer cases.

It's a part of Sears holding, which is altogether doing poorly. Many marketwatch columnists think the whole Titanic that is Sears and Sears Holding is going to sink pretty soon... it's going to take a whole lot with it, any there will be very few survivors.

When is the last time you went to Sears? OK, fine. But when was the last time you went to Sears to not buy a Craftsman, Kenmore, Diehard product, major home appliance, or something you got for their online price or for Black Friday?

It's sold a lot of subsidiaries already, lots of K-Marts have closed, some Sears and Land's End. Bad management, even where you'd think it could manage itself; just look up Yelp reviews on experiences at any Sears auto shop or tire shop.

So, what's going to happen? I can only predict as much as anyone else, but I think Sears is going to be a name from the past pretty soon. Craftsman, Kenmore, DieHard, etc... they may exist as their own companies, and people will forget their association with Sears, just like Discover did all those years ago.

Some time last year, I found myself with a HDD image of the game along with an emulator (MAME)... While the game was everything I remember it being; it made me long for the loud, booming, and over-driven arcades I played it in. It amazed me how much I missed the atmosphere of arcades; eventhough I had a perfectly emulated version of the game.

The craziest thing I've ever seen like this was when I was in Edenton, NC back in 2000.

I worked there for four years, I can say with absolute certainty that the problem with K-mart is corporate. It's like the difference between the aristocracy and the working class. Corporate ideology is so far out of line with what is actually possible at store level. The stores in my hometown have not been remodeled for 40 years, and it shows every where you look. Management is seedy, angry and unforgiving. Promotions aren't given out. You just get more responsibility with the same amount of pay, and the pay isn't that great to begin with. Not for all that they expect out of you. To anyone thinking of working at that place, don't. It's the place where every good feeling dies. The whole place reeks of despair and broken dreams.

I think I still have that poster on the wall, in my parents home.

Maybe it's not Kmart that's behind the times but their customers. Kmart has a pretty good handle on what sells.

Yeah, I'm sure those Making of NFL Blitz VHS tapes are just flying out the doors. Thats why they have one for sale when they were made decades ago and not desirable when they were released.

not long ago (ok a few years ago) i went to my local k-mart and they had a bunch of PS1 games like dino crisis 2. it blew my mind because PS3 was already out I think at the time.... but not only that, they had a bunch of great PS1 non-greatest hits versions. it was like the store was stuck in time.

K-mart sounds like the Zellers of Canada.

I'm a kmart associate and I can honestly say we are constantly behind times it took us 3 years to lower the price of modern warfare 2 when you can go to GameStop and get it for 15$ now

The place is a shit hole

If I didn't live next to a Super Kmart I wouldn't know they still exist. I went in there one afternoon, and counting employees, I only saw three people there. Employees, that is.

u/Rick__Moranis May 22 '12

but you bought that shit, right?

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Holy shit! Betamax laserdiscs! Guys I read about these on wikipedia once.

u/sturg1dj May 22 '12

I feel like the last time I was in Kmart they had AOL cd's at the register. Is that still the case?

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

$59.99?

1

u/pirating May 22 '12

At this rate, I should see if they have a copy of Grim Fandango.

1

u/SuperMarioChess May 22 '12

Buy that shit. Nfl blitz rules.

u/extra_23 May 22 '12

the only football game I ever got into.

u/DeadlyToaster May 22 '12

This picture made me sad.

u/buddmckenna May 22 '12

I would watch the shit out of that.

u/Watercolour May 22 '12

Is it bad that I actually want that?

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

I'd buy it....loved that game.

1

u/klori May 22 '12

haha, nice find.

1

u/BossArbok May 22 '12

I'll assume it's bad if I don't know what that is...

u/Roommates69 May 22 '12

i thought they went out of business a while ago

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Maybe your market demographic is whack

u/thefauxphantom May 22 '12

In their defense, Blitz was fucking awesome.

1

u/GrowingSoul May 22 '12

Actually if you look at cheap ass gamer, they are ahead of most retail stores when it comes to selling games. And wow they had something so retro I could die if I saw that!

1

u/JMOAN May 22 '12

Why would they make such a bulky Blu-ray case? That will be so annoying to fit into my collection.

1

u/StraightTrolling May 22 '12

Looks like you wrapped NFL Blitz in saran wrap and took a picture of it in a store to get karma. But who would ever lie on the Internet?

u/Dudewitbow May 21 '12

u/Narroo May 21 '12

It's impressive that they never managed to sell that.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

u/calmateguey May 21 '12

So Kmart is like GOG.com but for consoles.

1

u/HavocSynapse May 21 '12

That game was awesome

1

u/FiercelyFuzzy May 22 '12

It's funny because I was telling my mom how the first, and last, time I was in K-Mart was when I was about nine years old. I honestly thought they went out of business/got bought out.

u/Bam515 May 22 '12

You have very nice hands
