I saw and bought dozens of PS1 RPGs on markdown back in the day, and saw and bought tons more from used sections for cheap. Suikoden 2 stands out as one that I never saw in stores except for at the full MSRP. Same with Valkyrie Profile. But for what it's worth, I never so much as stepped foot into a Walmart until well into the 2000s. That chain barely existed around where I was living back around when Suikoden 2 came out. So if Walmart and some Australian chain (Big W) were the only places where it was marked down, that would explain why I never came across a marked down copy. But I did, however, shop for games at GameStop, EB, Software Etc., Toys R Us, Fred Meyer, various independent game stores, etc. and never saw Suikoden 2 marked down or available used.
