Taking advantage of Amazon's ability to create third-party vendor pages for items, customers turned in printed screenshots of unofficial PlayStation 4 listings priced at just $90, passing them off as official to get the console at less than a quarter of its market price. However, Walmart's new price-matching rules should prevent others from taking advantage of of the retail giant:

"(W)e’ve updated our policy to clarify that we will match prices from Walmart.com and 30 major online retailers, but we won’t honor prices from marketplace vendors, third-party sellers, auction sites or sites requiring memberships."

Some of the online retailers who made the cut include Amazon, Best Buy, Kmart, Target and Toys-R-Us.

Find the full list of vendors in Walmart's updated online price match policy.
