Target/Sears/Best Buy/Toys R Us/Kmart Discount and Clearance Video Game Sales

[The 1 2 P]

As most of you know, Target discounted tons of it's games after the new year and even created a $19.99 and below section that runs in an aisle adjacent to the normal games(atleast thats how it is here in Maryland). But recently they have been clearancing many of the regular and discount games. Among today's finds:

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror for PS2 $9.98
Dead or Alive 4 for 360 $14.99
Lego Star Wars: Original Trilogy for Xbox $4.99

I also saw discounted controllers and memory cards for the PS2. I'm sure you can find some pretty amazing deals in your local Target if you check it out. I just thought I'd share this info with you guys/girls.

An uninterested and uninvolved party feels the need to chime in. Members of this board who have spoken up before have had a point. These threads are useful to some (many even), but go against the grain of Modern (and Classic) Gaming discussion.

To quote:

"This is not cheapassgamer."

Another call to the mods and DP to add a Deals forum or something similar to corral these topics from being a fragmented mess. They are appreciated, but need a place to call home. They benefit no one as singular threads that warrant no discussion and drop off the first couple pages immediately.

To quote one of the baddest MF'ers out there:

GAME ON!

And thank you to those who look out for all of us and post the good info.

[Cinder6]

To ignore the previous two posts... :)
(Actually, I agree we need a Deals forum.)

Is DoA 4 worth $15? I only have a few 3D fighters (Bushido Blade, Soul Calibur, and VF4), and could pad out my collection (though I'm much more of a 2D fighter fan).

[walrusmonger]

DoA4 was pretty cool. Super cheezy boss, great graphics, tight control, online was kind of whack (whoever hosted had a mega advantage).

I sold mine since I figured I'd pick it up again for cheap later on, maybe this will be that time... but I doubt my local targe will have any. Maybe I'll drive down and check.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

I get it. But is it necessary to create this thread when a thread dealing with the same thing was created 2 or 3 days prior?

http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114990

2, 3, or 4 simultaneous target clearance or sale threads is a detriment to the cause. Really. Especially when they deal with the same thing.

These threads need to be merged, just like the last 2 circuit city sale threads were.

[KeyserSoze61]

I'm of the belief that the existence of CAG negates the need for a deals forum. When I go online to look at gaming, DigitPress, CheapAssGamer, and Joystiq pretty much fulfill my every need. They are complimentary websites, not competing ones.

i completely agree. this is BS. get these freaking threads out of here. stop posting them damnit!

[roushimsx]

I love these threads but TheDomesticInstitution summed up my feelings on this one:


But is it necessary to create this thread when a thread dealing with the same thing was created 2 or 3 days prior?

Seriously, what's wrong with just bumping the one a page or two back with a heads up of your current finds on the clearance rack at your Target?

[Neil Koch]

Yeah, these Target threads aren't very useful, since (as I pointed out in the other thread) each store does their own clearance. I don't think there needs to be a whole sub-forum, but I think a stickied "deals/sales/clearance" topic might be useful.

If the mods are looking at this, if we're talking about useless/overplayed threads, how about some sort of stickied "official Gamestop/EB bitching" thread as well?

[Buns34]

Let the guy post what he wants to post. There are a lot of arses on this site, who always have to come trolling in on other peoples topics! If you dont like it, then do not post! But the dude was just trying to be helpful.

[Poofta!]

no dude, this goes beyond "let him post what he wants'

this is not 4chan, this is not newsgroups and gamefaqs (yet even those last two has some catagories/moderation). this is DP, and you cannot post whatever you want, wherever you want. that said, deal and such do not related to Modern Gaming discussion anymore than stuff posted in the ebay/B&S/"what its worth" subforums -- thats why they are separate.

[slapdash]

I too like these threads -- I barely have the time to keep up with DP, and don't have the time to read CAG too. I've always thought there should be a "$20 and below" thread running that covers all kinds of finds like this, though I had pictured it more of a "this game just went 'Greatest Hits', better pick it up now if you don't want the crappy GH label". I know I missed a couple non-GH PSP and Gamecube games along the way.

[Buns34]

Then all a moderator had to do was move his post. No need to jump on all over the guy.

[The 1 2 P]

Whoa, tough room. Anyway, I didn't know where to post this at, but if it's in the wrong place, by all means let the mods move it. Also, someone mentioned there was another Target thread. I only saw a Circuit City one. But again, if there are more, the mods can combine them. As stated in the first post, I was just trying to give my fellow gamers a heads up on some good game discounts.

[MachineGex]

I have said this before, I like to hear about a "really good" deal. I don't get over to CAG all that much. It may have been covered there, but half of the posts on this board are discussed on other boards. I have gotten over a dozen really cheap games from these types of threads in the last few months. They are helpful to some of us. I dont see why people dont skip over them if they dislike them. I do agree with keeping them in one thread instead of posting them all over the place.

[SegaAges]

If you guys had such a huge problem with it, then why post to it and give it a bump keeping it on the front page. If you don't like it, seriously, just don't post to it.

It would be like me buying up a buttload of country cd's and then bitching that I wasted my money because I hate country. Seriously, if that many people didn't like it, it wouldn't be bumped to the front.

Sorry to rant, but I post on here like once a month now, and everytime I came back on, somebody starts up a good thread and people complain all through it.

I say, keep these threads coming. I don't have an account on cag and I don't post on joystiq.

I go to Target all the time. I will have to check it out to see if we have the same deals. I was told that DOA 4 is crazy hard, like retarded hard, but for 14.99, I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

No... a more apt metaphor would be:

You started a post about how much you hated country music. Then a day later someone else starts an entirely new thread about how they hate country music, instead of posting to your thread. All the threads that were bitched about had a similar thread started a few days or a week or so prior. If people are gonna fill up Modern Gaming with "Deal threads," they need to post smarter.

Way to use up your one post for the month.

[Mattiekrome]

I was just trying to give my fellow gamers a heads up on some good game discounts.

I, for one, appreciate it. Being married to an 8 month pregnant wife, and trying to keep up with my 2 year old daughter makes for very little "free" time... Hell, I barely CAG'd when I had free time

[Blitzwing256]

a big markdown day today:

all xbox games left in stock are all 4.96
tony hawk
star wars battlefront
leggo star wars 2
ultimate aliance
myrads of sports games

ps2 greatest hits games:
2 differnt shitty naruto games
ghost rider
mlb bigg something something hit 7.98

two worlds for 360 hit 24.98




and my two cents, much like the "durr anybody know of any game stores in the XXXX area?" topics, if you aren't interested, here is a novel concept...
DON'T CLICK ON IT!

*climbs off soap box*

[Sothy]

This thread has sufficient cowbell.

[thetoxicone]

I grabbed Socom 3 for $5, this follows my "any non-sports, non-budget title game for ps2, gc, or xbox that is under $5, I will probably buy it" mentality.

They have one new logitech wireless controller for Xbox that I've been eyeing hoping that it will drop more before someone else buys it, but I'm very tempted to pick it up anyway as I need another xbox controller.

[GarrettCRW]

Here's an idea, since Target has a seriously FUBAR clearance policy:

An official Target clearance/discount thread, where everyone lists deals they saw, and specifies the Target they saw it at, using the cross streets/store number/whatever. Wouldn't this make the most sense?

[josekortez]

I'm sorry. I'm the biggest fan of cheap games that there is, but it is impossible to have a consistent Target clearance thread due to the fact that none of the stores have a consistent manner of pricing games since each store decides its own price drops.

And since I like getting the best deals, I would be less likely to participate in listing the stores I frequent because unfortunately other people will pick them up before I can get to them.

For instance, today, I found a couple of games I'd hidden in a store while waiting for them to drop.

Lego Star Wars II (GC, PC) - $4.98
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja (PS2, GH) - $4.98
Stranglehold (360) - $14.98
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror (PS2) - $9.98
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (PS2) - $4.98
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (XB) - $4.98

Now, if I told people exactly which stores I shopped, there'd be no deals left if there was another DP member in my area, and I know of at least two others...

Move to NW Iowa I not aware of another DP member in my area (at least not one that posts here a lot)

Additional pick ups:

GTA San Andreas (xbox) - 4.98
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (xbox) - 4.98

Since Target clearances are completely YMMV and depend on the manager of each individual store I came here to post this:

That, my friends, is perhaps the most cogent and poignant point to emerge from this thread.

Oh, and I picked up Battlestations: Midway (360) from another Target today for $14.98.

[esquire]

I picked up 3 Pc games for $14.98 each:

Supreme Commander
Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts
Medieval II Total War Kingdoms

They also had a Psyclone Xbox 360 VGA adapter for $12.38

[Streetball 21]

I picked up Tony Hawk's Project 8 for XBOX, $4.98. They also had a whole bunch of copies of Viva Pinata, but they still have them marked at $21.98. They also had Guitar Hero III for the PC for $29.98.

Sometimes when you take games to the price scanners(scattered thru out the store)they ring up lower than what they are marked. Even before this big clearance sale I got atleast a few games after scanning them and finding out they were priced alot lower than what they were marked at.

That's why it disappoints me when stores don't have price scanners, since at the local Shopko here I've had to make people scan a pile of 20-30 games just to find which ones are on clearance (but I have gotten quite a few $2-$5 games doing this).

[The 1 2 P]

Price scanners are a clearance shoppers best friend. Today's Target finds:

PS2 8 in 1 memory card $8.74
Dragon Ball Z Budakai 2 PS2 $4.98
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 360 $14.99

[Cmosfm]

I brought up the idea of a deals forum to Joe over 2 years ago if I recall correctly, I even offered to moderate it, but he said we didn't need it so I guess we can just use CAG for now on. I see no problem with this thread though.

[Dr. Dib]

I went to my local Target and saw the isle. Not really many games I was looking for, but I did find X-men Legends II for Gamecube for $15.

[The 1 2 P]

Thats a good deal, but you could have gotten that same game at Sears for $5.95. And yes thats for the Gamecube version. Speaking of Sears, everyone should check their local ones for sales because I just got the Limited Edition of Halo 3 for $24.95.

I know thats alittle off topic but I didn't want to create a whole new thread for Sears clearance games. I might just change the title of this thread.

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target finds:

Halo 3 limited edition Wireless Xbox 360 controller W/Master Chief Toy $14.98
Psyclone 360 HDMI Cables $9.98
Def Jam Icon for 360 $14.98
Psyclone PS2 AV/S-Video Cables $3.98

[Streetball 21]

Hit a few Targets today. Picked up Socom:3 U.S. Navy Seals for $4.98.

[Streetball 21]

Today's Target finds:

Halo 3 limited edition Wireless Xbox 360 controller W/Master Chief Toy $14.98
Psyclone 360 HDMI Cables $9.98
Def Jam Icon for 369 $14.98
Psyclone PS2 AV/S-Video Cables $3.98

Wow, $14.98 for the Halo limited edition controller? My local Target still had it on sale for $49.98. They also had quite a few PS3 games for $14.98.

[josekortez]

Today was the best Target day I've had in a while.

Naruto (360) - $14.98
The Simpsons Game (360) - $12.48
Viva Pinata: Party Animals (360) - $7.48

Now, do you see why I don't tell anyone where I shop?

[The 1 2 P]

Today's gear

Nyko 360 Cooling Fan $6.95
Crackdown 360 $14.95
The Orange Box PS3 $29.95
Tons of PS3 Sports games for $14.95-20.95
Simpsons 360 $7.96
Viva Pinata 360 $7.96 (didn't buy that but thought I'd mention it)

[thetoxicone]

Not at all game related, in the grocery section they have those orange flavored ice breaker pacs which dissolve and burst open in your mouth for only $.48 each. if you like weird candy/mints these are a good buy.

[The 1 2 P]

Today I only got a PS2 memory card for $9.99. I balked at the Naruto 360 game for $29.98. It will go down soon enough. Since I have two local Targets and another 4-8 semi-local ones, these clearance deals will continue for awhile. Plus, one of my two local Targets is a Super Target and for some reason they put out new stuff each day. But thats fine with me because I'm more likely to find good deals.

[josekortez]

Yeah, I found the last lone copy of Project Gotham Racing 4 (360) for $14.98 today.

The other day, there were several packs of M&M's Dark Chocolate and the layered Nestle's Crunch Bars for 36 cents a piece.

And a sweet all-over hoodie for $6.24. Now, I can be hip and resemble a Rorschach test just like the kids...

[The 1 2 P]

You should have grabbed every single pack of the Nestle's Crunch bars--thats some serious trade bait on these forums.

The only noteworthy sale I saw today was a PS2 Naruto game for $4.98 It's subtitle began with a "U" but I can't remember it.

Yeah, those Nestle's Crunch bars are HTF!!! Seriously, I bought like 9 packs of the M&Ms and 3 Crunch bars, and I ended up giving half of them away at work.

And the Naruto game you're thinking of is Uzimaki Chronicles, an action game that actually wasn't that bad.

Here's a sale that isn't clearance but these games are still really cheap if you're looking for them. My Target has an advertised sale on Army Men RTS and Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2 for GameCube and Princess Natasha for DS (for the completists, it looks like a girl's game) for $4.99 each through Saturday.

[The 1 2 P]

For the first time in 2 weeks my Target didn't have anything new. I was very upset:( My Target's also have that sale but it's forever until they sell. There are Tony Hawk games for the xbox and xbox 360 for $9.98 and less.

[The 1 2 P]

Naruto for 360 finally got to $14.98. I also picked up a leather laptop case for $9.98.

[josekortez]

More good deals yesterday:

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Platinum Hits, XB) - $4.98
Psyclone multi-system RF switch - $2.48
Psyclone multi-system AV cable - $3.98
Psyclone Wii component cable - $4.98

The Polaroid mini video cameras were down to $49.98 at one Target and all the clearance PS3 games had been removed from the case at the other Target, so I hope that doesn't negatively affect my ability to buy the Orange Box and Lair when they drop...

[Sniderman]

And now we have a deal forum. Huh.

And it's all because of you. Thank you!

[The 1 2 P]

More good deals yesterday:


Psyclone Wii component cable - $4.98



My Target doesn't even carry those, not one of my 4 plus Targets. Both Genji and Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the PS3 are $20.98.

[DigitalSpace]

Not at all game related, in the grocery section they have those orange flavored ice breaker pacs which dissolve and burst open in your mouth for only $.48 each. if you like weird candy/mints these are a good buy.

I spotted these at a Goodwill today, near the registers (the local Goodwills are among the many that often get unsold Target clearance stuff). They were charging 49 cents each.

Tonight, I found:

Psyclone PS3 component cable - $4.98
Tony Hawk's Underground (GC, PC) - $4.98

[The 1 2 P]

Picked up a bunch of discounted memory cards for the PS2.

Datel 64 MB Memory Card $8.74
Datel 32 MB Memory Card $6.24

[DigitalSpace]

Spotted at Target this evening:

Guitar Hero Wireless Guitar (PS2) - $41.98
NASCAR '08 (PS2) - $14.98 (hardly worth noting, but it was the only clearance game I saw)

[The 1 2 P]

Some really great deals today:

Silver Gamecube $69.98
Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube $20.98
Virtual Tennis 3 for PS3 $9.98
Medal of Honor Airbourne for PS3 $14.98

[josekortez]

Yeah, I scored The Orange Box (PS3) myself today for $14.98.

I also got:
Boogie (PS2) - $7.48
Golden Compass (PS2) - $7.48
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (PS3) - $12.48

A soccer mom ripped the other two copies of Boogie off the locked peg they were affixed to, which was strange. Damn, soccer moms are strong.

Also, the associate in the electronics section was being a jack@$$ when I asked him to pricecheck the "As Is" items. He refused and told me that "As Is" items don't get reduced any further, which is a load of crap.

Sometimes those "as-is" items have special white/orange price tags on them. I'm pretty sure you can take those to the price scanners around the store to cut out the middle man part.

[The 1 2 P]

I just noticed that. The ones around here are still $29.98 so you got a really good deal.

Some really great deals today:

Silver Gamecube $69.98
Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube $20.98
Virtual Tennis 3 for PS3 $9.98
Medal of Honor Airbourne for PS3 $14.98

My Target also had Gamecubes for the same price. They also had:

Mario Kart: Double Dash (GC)-$14.98
Zelda:Twilight Princess (GC)-$24.98
A whole bunch of copies of Harlem Globetrotters for DS-$4.98

They also has strategy guides for the following games on clearance-

Saints Row
Metroid Prime Hunters (1 copy, in bad condition)
Mortal Kombat Armageddon (also in bad condition)

They also had a bunch of other games but nothing really worth mentioning.

[The 1 2 P]

I think that Target as a whole has the same games on clearance but some of them lower their discounted prices sooner. I see that your Target had Mario Kart: Double Dash(GC) for $14.98, but mine still has it for $20.98. I wanted to wait for them to discount the Super Smash Brothers Melee lower than the $20.98 I got them for, but I knew someone else would have picked them up first.

[The 1 2 P]

Todays treasure:

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for PS2 $9.98

[Deadman]

I stumbled onto this thread recently, so I've started poking around a bit at Target and today I found one item of note:

Gamecube (Black) - brand new in box $49.98

My 10 year-old bought a used Indigo one from GameStop last year for $29.99, but I figure someday we might need a backup for it. This was the last one in the entire store, so I didn't want to wait and see if it would drop anymore this week.

Aren't Wednesday's the day that they mark stuff down again?

[Deadman]

I also got:
Golden Compass (PS2) - $7.48


Even at this price, I think you got hosed....:)

When I got my Gamecube two weeks ago for $69.98, it was one of only two for sale. However, another Target has a whole cabin full of them. If they stay there unsold like they are now I'm sure they will go down alittle more. Then I can get another one and will return the more expensive one.

[scooterb23]

Wanted to toss out there that I saw Def Jam Icon for the 360 at my Target for $7.48. Not my type of game, but some may want to keep a heads up for that.

I have seen alot of games at discounted prices at Target lately that, like you said, aren't my type of game and thus I don't pick them up. Thats why I encourage everyone to visit your local Target atleast twice a week. They are obviously remodeling their game section and are trying to get rid of alot of their inventory. Theres still plenty of great deals to be had:rocker:

[Damaramu]

Picked up today for PSP:

Street Fighter Alpah 3 Max - $14.99
Jeanne D'arc - $20.99
Final Fantasy - $20.99

Not the cheapest, and I don't even have a PSP but I couldn't pass these up. I guess this is a good excuse to get one. :wink 2:

I just wish target would discount stuff beyond 75% off before sending them off like the clearances K-mart, Sears, or Shopko does since there are plenty of games I'll buy for $5 that target will only discount to $10 or $15 since their original starting points before the clearance drops are $40 or $60

I got Lego Star Wars for the Xbox and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 for PS2, both for $4.98 at Target. And these weren't the only games that they had for sale under $9.98. Like I said, just keep checking in regularly and you will find some pretty amazing deals;)

But those were $20 regular price before they were clearanced, so they went down to $4.98, $30 regular priced games won't drop below $7.48, $40...$9.98, $50...$12.48, and $60...$14.98.

[Deadman]

I found a platinum GameCube at another Target yesterday for only $49.98, even though it was clearance stickered at $69.98 still. So make sure to take them to those price checkers.

BY the way, all of what I'm finding is usually on one of the back row aisle endcaps - usually about 5-6 aisles away from the video game section. In the videogame area, I don't find any cheap stuff at all. Is this typical for all Targets everywhere?

The one in my town leaves some in with the games and the rest on the endcap right next to the games. In the 2 targets closest to me in nearby towns they are a few rows away so it really just depends on location.

[The 1 2 P]

Hmm, where to start...

Guitar Hero 2(with guitar) for PS2 $39.99
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for Psp $14.98
The Orange Box for PS3 $14.98
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for PS2 $4.98
Hitman Contracts Dvd I-Guide $2.48

The following wasn't purchased at Target but I decided to list them anyway. I bought these games(all factory sealed) at an import store here in Maryland:

Spy Hunter: Nowhere To Run for Xbox $9.99
The Guy Game for XBox $9.99
Jampack Vol. 14 for PS2 $2.99
Fire Pro Wrestling Strategy Guide for GBA $1.00

So yeah, today was a pretty good day:)

[The 1 2 P]

Today I took my $69.98 Gamecube back to Target so I could get a....$49.98 Gamecube. Gotta love the 90 day return policy:)

[Blitzwing256]

actually you're very wrong, an "as is" tag is for a piece of damaged merchandise, the as is price is a set price that never changes as its not a clearance item, "as is" genrally is a set percentage off determined by a teamlead or executive based on the damage, these items aren't considered clearance and have no further markdowns.

[1magus]

If you can call these discounts lol eBay has better prices MUHAHAHAH!

[Blitzwing256]

Alot of stuff went down today, the gamecubes all went salvage so you all might want to start checking goodwills for complete new cubes.

new york times crosswords 10$
beavis and butthead (psp) both volumes are 10
golden compass ds is at 6$
nba streets 2 for cube 6$
barbie princesses for ps2 6$
guitar hero 2 for ps2 24
heaveanly sword for ps3 41$

[The 1 2 P]

Both Target and Wal-Mart are now selling Gamecube's for $49.98.

[The 1 2 P]

Todays fine: Timeshift for 360 $19.98

I've always wanted to try this game and now I'll finally get my chance...just as soon as I get an xbox 360:)

[carlcarlson]

Puzzle Quest for the DS is supposedly ~$8, though I couldn't find one to check.

[The 1 2 P]

Target has a few PS3 games selling for $4.98 including Tony Hawk: Proving Ground and a few sports games.

[DigitalSpace]

Here's the best of what I spotted at a Target I went to tonight:

Gamecube:
Cars (Player's Choice) - $13.98
Sonic Heroes (Player's Choice) - $10.98
Teen Titans - $4.98 (this was the only game I bought)

PS2:
Cars (GH) - $13.98

GBA:
Avatar: The Burning Earth - $9.98

DS:
Bleach: The Blade of Fate - $14.98
Power Rangers - $14.98

[Deadman]

I'm assuming there is a thread on this, but is anyone else taking advantage of the "Buy 2 - Get one free" deal that Target has going on right now. For each system it's different, but here are the ones that I know:

XBOX 360:
Buy any two of these and get Mass Effect for free:
Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Ninja Gaiden II, Scene It!, Nascar '09, and a few others.

I picked up R6V2 for $39 and Nascar 09 for $59 and got Mass Effect free! Not bad for $108 including tax!

For Nintendo DS:
Buy any two get Wario: Master of Disguise free:
Lego Raiders of the Lost Ark, Super Mario Bros., Pets Dogz 2, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and a few others.

[The 1 2 P]

I knew about this from reading the ads in the paper but it's still nice to have it posted here for all the other people that didn't know about it. And you are right Deadman, getting Mass Effect for free is a great deal considering you could accomplish that by buying two other great games, including Gears of War.

[Neil Koch]

I got Motorstorm (PS3) for $15 yesterday. They also had Genji (PS3) for $15.

I got a mini-circular in the mail yesterday that had a $15 off coupon for any electronics purchase of $100 or over.

[The 1 2 P]

I got Motorstorm (PS3) for $15 yesterday. They also had Genji (PS3) for $15.



This is a great time to buy PS3 games at Target, as it sems they are trying to downside atleast a third of all availble stock for lack of selling. As I've already posted, they are several PS3 games priced at $4.98-19.98:bday:

[Streetball 21]

My local Target had a lot of strategy guides still on sale, but a little bit cheaper in price since the last time I was there. Not in the best condition, but still readable. I did pick up the Metroid Prime Hunters (DS) strategy guide-$3.74.

[The 1 2 P]

Today I got Naruto 2 for Gamecube at $4.98.

[josekortez]

Today I got Naruto 2 for Gamecube at $4.98.
Yeah, I found that one today too.

Also:
Puzzle Quest (DS) - $10.48
The Club (PS3) - $14.98

Man, I really need to get a PS3!

[The 1 2 P]

Man, I really need to get a PS3!

Tell me about it. I really need to get a 360 thanks to all of the clearance games I've been getting at Target and K-Mart lately.

[josekortez]

I got the ESA 3-pack of 360 games (Cars, Open Season and Fuzion Frenzy) for $14.98 and Guitar Hero (game only) for PS2 for $19.98.

Then I used a $5 Target giftcard I won at work on the purchase, traded in the 3 360 games with another 360 game at Gamestop to get $35 in store credit.

[The 1 2 P]

Since Sears has been discounting games just as much as Target has, I decided to slightly rename the thread in order to cover both stores. And todays Sears finds were:

Burnout Revenge for 360 $4.95
Snk Vs Capcom Card Fighter DS $2.97
Metroid Prime Gamecube Bundle $29.99

There were several other PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, 360, and PS3 games for $2.97-14.95. I'll definitely keep you guys updated on the Sears sale.

[The 1 2 P]

After returning my $49.99 Gamecube at my local Target, I discovered that they are now clearancing the remaining 4 for $24.99 each. But since I just picked up two Metroid Prime Bundle versions for $5 more, I no longer need the regular Gamecube.

[The 1 2 P]

Todays finds are all from Best Buy's summer clearance sale:

Halo Legendary Edition for 360 $39.99
Call of Duty 4 for 360 and PS3 $20.00
Stranglehold for 360 $5.00
Dance Dance Revolution Universe for 360 $5.00
Sonic Riders for PS2 $5.00
Beowulf for 360 $5.00

All are factory sealed because they are just trying to get rid of some of their overstock. Call of Duty 4 was actually $30 two days ago so I'm going to check back in tomorrow and Friday to see if they lower it again. I don't know why but I keep finding ALL the best deals at retail stores(just lucky I guess). I'll continue to keep you guys posted on what deals are going on at each store. Hopefully it's helping you out as much as it's helping me out. Keep the feedback coming to thie thread.

[thetoxicone]

I don't know why but I keep finding ALL the best deals at retail stores(just lucky I guess).

It comes and goes, I had a stretch 2 years ago and the about 6 months ago where I made a killing on clearance games but then I cleared out places stock and had to wait until what was new became old.

[monkeychemist]

I cleared out places stock and had to wait until what was new became old.

Do you clear out stores to resell or just to keep them?

[thetoxicone]

Do you clear out stores to resell or just to keep them?

Usually to keep stuff the only times I really buy to resell is if I know for sure I'm going to make at least $15 after shipping and fees are figured in on an item otherwise its not really worth the trouble.

[The 1 2 P]

They didn't lower their prices yet but I'll check back this weekend.

[MarioMania]

Is DOA4 $15 still at Target

[Streetball 21]

Today I picked up Perfect Dark Zero (360) strategy guide for $4.98.

[The 1 2 P]

Is DOA4 $15 still at Target

Go to Sears Mario. At the most it would be $15 but it may have been lowered recently.

[Deadman]

Based on this post, I went back to Target with only my receipts (from 5/21/08) and asked about price matching when something gets less. She said that's a 14 day policy, but that I could return the item within 90 and re-buy at the lower price.

Then she took my receipt, and with no Gamecube in hand, she returned them both, then resold them to me at the $24.98 price! That was easy!

[Steve W]

I've found a few things cheap at a couple of Sears locations. Eragon for the Xbox 360 for $3.97, and Call of Duty 3 for the Wii for $4.97. I mainly go there to check out their original Xbox games and see if I can score any cheap. They still charge too much for some of them. I guess they're all the ones that the manufacturers don't allow them to mark down.

Nice work. Those are the kinds of stories I like to hear about:)

[Deadman]

Today, I checked back at my Target and they have the same items, week after week, that just won't sell in their clearance section. But this week, they actually knocked them down a bit more, down to their "final" prices. Here's what I got:

Xbox "Thrillville" - $4.98 (originally $19.99)
PSP "Jackass" volume 2 and 3 - $3.74 each (originally $14.99 each)
PSP "Beavis and Butthead" vol. 2 and 3 - $3.74 each (originally $14.99 each)

Nothing special, but for these prices worth picking up. Plus my kids LOVE Thrillville, as one of their best friends has it, but until today it's been at $9.99. Finally waiting paid off.

[Sylentwulf]

Great, glad to see digitpress finally has a deals section! I remember trying to get this going quite a long time ago, haven't been around in a few years, but this subforum will get digitpress back into my daily regimen again! :)

[The 1 2 P]

Today picked up Call of Duty 4 on Xbox 360 for $20 as part of Best Buy's video game clearance summer sale. I could actually trade this in to Gamestop and get more than what I paid for it....but I won't.

Am I the only one who didn't even know that Sears carries videogames?? I've never gone into one to look, but now I think I will hit the mall later and check out the Sears. Are the games with the TV's and electronics or toys?

THanks

Yes, the games are in the electronic section. I just added Sears to this thread not long ago because of all of the amazing video game deals I've gotten from there over the past 2 months(read the thread to see the good stuff discovered). And you are also correct in assuming that not many gamers know about going to Sears. My Sears use to be Mongomery Wards before they all closed down a few years ago. But even back then MW sold video games and you could get some good cheap stuff there as well.

[josekortez]

Here's what I got:

Xbox "Thrillville" - $4.98 (originally $19.99)

Nothing special, but for these prices worth picking up. Plus my kids LOVE Thrillville, as one of their best friends has it, but until today it's been at $9.99. Finally waiting paid off.

Yeah, I found the last copy of Thrillville (Platinum Hits) today for $4.98. I wanted to play it before the Thrillville: Off the Rails for Wii I got at Toys R Us for $9.99 last week.

I also found a copy of Interactive Storybook: Vol. 1 for DS for $3.74. It was for my cousin's birthday. She'll be 6 in October, so I guess my shopping's done...

[Deadman]

I did eventually go check out my local Sears and was sadly disappointed with no real gems or discounts. :(

But, Gamestop has Xbox games buy 2 get 1 free this week, so go load up!!!

[The 1 2 P]

My Toys R US has buy one get one free on ALL Playstation 2 games.

[josekortez]

My Toys R US has buy one get one free on ALL Playstation 2 games.

Every Toys R Us has this deal through Saturday, which includes PS2, PSP and PS3 games.

[Nate Nanjo]

Its actually, buy 1 get 1 50% off.

I think the website had a glitch where it was B1G1.

[SegaAges]

hmm, hopefully the website still has that deal, that would be sweet.

it would be an excuse for me to finally get vice city stories for ps2

[The 1 2 P]

You should have went to Target. They were clearancing GTA: Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories for $4.95 not that long ago. And speaking of Target, they now have some great non-clearance game sales going on. Spoted so far was:

The Orange Box $29.99 (360)
Burnout Paradise $29.00 (360)
Lynch and Kane $14.98 (PS3)

[The 1 2 P]

Today picked up the Darkness for 360 at $9.98 in Target.

[Deadman]

Kane and Lynch for the PS3 is now down to $9.98 at TARGET. I've heard it's not that great, but for under 10, I'll take it!

[SegaAges]

Today picked up the Darkness for 360 at $9.98 in Target.

Nice find. I got it from Blockbuster, used of course, for 14.99.

[SegaAges]

Condemned 2 is 9.98 at Target
The Club is 13 or 14, I don't remember the price (12.98 or 13.98)

[norkusa]

I got the 360 Scene It! bundle with 4 controllers and game for $25 at Sears. Not a bad price since it's still $40 new at most places now.

Anybody have an extra X360 Bully for sale or trade? My Target had a couple of $20 clearance copies for weeks but they got snatched up as soon as they dropped.

[scooterb23]

Target I went to the other day had the big box Special Edition of GTA IV for $63. Don't know how much of a deal that is, but it seemed good if you like that game.

[The 1 2 P]

Target I went to the other day had the big box Special Edition of GTA IV for $63. Don't know how much of a deal that is, but it seemed good if you like that game.

It was $90 when it came out. $27 savings is a pretty good deal but I imagaine it will go lower though. The Legendary edition of Halo 3 went from $129 new to $49 new at Best Buy's clearance sale. Everything eventually comes down in price:)

[The 1 2 P]

Condemned 2 is 9.98 at Target


Thanks for the heads up. I picked this up today so now you owe me one. And "yes" I said you owe me. Kidding aside, I've noticed that a lot of the PS3 versions have been getting discounts before the 360 versions, even if the 360 version came out first.

The Orange Box PS3 $14.98
The Orange Box 360 $29.98

Unreal Tournament 3 PS3 $19.99
Unreal Tournament 3 360 $59.99

I would assume that the 360 versions are selling better than the PS3 versions.

[norkusa]

Price on the GTA IV special edition dropped to $44.98 at Target (at least at the store by me). I already own it so I passed but that's a sweet deal.

Also saw Kingdom Under Fire, NBA Ballers, Kain & Lynch for $9.98 (all 360). PES 2008 was $7.48.

which store did you see the orange box for PS3 for $15? target?

[esquire]

A few weeks ago, I picked up Eye of Judgment for the PS3 for $35 at Target.

[The 1 2 P]

which store did you see the orange box for PS3 for $15? target?

Yup. And I spent two weeks on these forums trying to trade it for a new or used 360 copy and nobody showed me any love:mad: So I took it back to Target and got my money back. And yes, I even tried to sell it on ebay and in the forums and again nobody wanted it. Oh well, their loss.

[Deadman]

Todays Target finds include these deep discounts:

Bourne Conspiracy (PS3) - $14.98
GRID (360) - $14.98
Lost Odyssey (360) - $14.98
NBA 08 (360) - $14.98
The Club (360) - $12.48

These are all new markdowns here, and are the max allowed 75% off prices. As was noted in an earlier post, the same games on different systems are way off. Like the Bourne Conspiracy on 360 is still it's original $59.99, as is GRID for the PS3. Odd, but since I have both systems, I don't mind at all.

That was my post that mentioned the system difference. And I was at Target today and you took the words right oout of my mouth as far as Grid, Lost Odyssey and The Club go. I was actually returning Condemned 2(bought for $9.98) because I don't think I would have liked it or even got around to playing it. At my Target though, most of the 360 sports titles are marked down to $7.98 though. They also had Transformers for DS at $9.98.

Wow! I have to go back and check the DS section for Transformers, as my boys would kill for that one! I'm going to return the Lost Odyssey probably, as I'm not a real RPG fan, and turn-based fighting bores me to death.

[scooterb23]

May have to keep an eye out for Grid, lovin' this thread!

K, got Grid...awesome. Also found at Target:

Kane & Lynch for $10 on 360, not just PS3 as previously reported.
Saint's Row $5 - 360 (mega super platinum hits version, but still...)
Blast Works for the Wii - $10

Also: Circuit City had a couple bins of their $20 games marked down to $16.96, not a huge markdown, but I finally own Zack & Wiki :) I know it's been $10 some places, but I've not been fortunate enough to find it at that price.

[The 1 2 P]

Wow! I have to go back and check the DS section for Transformers, as my boys would kill for that one!

Theres two versions for Ds. The one that was $9.98 was the Decepticons version. The Autobot version is still marked $19.99 at my Target. Today's lone find was:

Battle of the Bands(Wii): $7.48

[fpbrush]

Just picked up Breakdown (Xbox) for $2.99 at Sears. It was marked as $5, but rang up lower. Wondering if some of the other games in the bin were cheaper than marked...

[The 1 2 P]

Wondering if some of the other games in the bin were cheaper than marked...

Probably. When I went to purchase the Metroid Prime Gamecube bundle at Sears it was marked at $49.99 but rang up for $24.99. So I told the clerk that I would buy the other one they had in the display cabinet. So I basically got 2 for the price of 1. $49.99=2 Metroid Prime Gamecube bundles:pimp:

[The 1 2 P]

The other day I finally got my Xbox 360 limited edition of GTA 4 for $44.98. Other cheap games I noticed and didn't puchase:

Final Fantasy 12(PS2) $4.98
God of War(PS2) $13.98
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit(PS3) $14.98
too many damn $4.98 sports games for PS3, 360 and PS2

On a related note, Toys R Us had a discount bin with:

Halo 2(Xbox) $5.00
Elite Beat Agents(NDS) $5.00
and a bunch of other worthless crap

[DigitalSpace]

Why don't we have separate threads for each these stores instead of one big thread?

I think it keeps things more organized. People just have to remember to post what store they're talking about. :p I think 1 2 P was talking about Target since he said that he got a GTA 4 LE.

[The 1 2 P]

Where was this at??

Why don't we have separate threads for each these stores instead of one big thread?

Sorry guys. I was talking about Target for all of those sales except for the Toys R Us ones. As for why we don't have seperate threads--Digital Space hit the hammer on the nail. It's better to have one thread to cover 5+ stores than 5 different threads where only one or two get posted on because they have the majority of the salee(which would be Target and Sears).

[Nate Nanjo]

My Target only had the 360 GTA clearenced, the PS3 version was still $90.

I'll buy it if the do the same to it.

[The 1 2 P]

My Target only had the 360 GTA clearenced, the PS3 version was still $90.

Oe of my Targets has 4 of the PS3 versions still priced at $90. And thats why they are still sitting there.

[Half Japanese]

Not sure if it's just around here or not, but if you've missed a deal on a clearance game at Target, check your local Goodwill. The closest Goodwill to me generally has a handful of former Target clearance games (largely the horseshit titles, unfortunately).

I've also found that certain Wal Marts are decent from time to time for cheap games, even though I hate to shop there for anything else. Grabbed Perfect Dark Zero and Overlord the other day for $10/each, and while I know that's not that great for PDZ, it beats a booger-smeared used copy from Gamestop for a mere $2 savings. I also spotted Timeshift for $8 but I knew I'd never play it.

[CDiablo]

My TRU had Super Smash Bros Melee, Blue Dragon and Viva Piniata:PA for 8.98

[DigitalSpace]

Here's what stood out at a Target I was at this evening:

New International Track & Field (DS) - $14.98
Dragonball Z Burst Limit (PS3) - $14.98 (they also had the 360 version for $29.98)

(They also had several copies of NBA Live 08 for the PS2 for $4.98.)

[scooterb23]

the Target I went to had Intl Track & Field for $20.98 (really wanted it at $14.98)
also saw No More Heroes for $20.98. They had a bunch of red tagged games, but almost nothing under $20.

[Deadman]

All of my Targets seem to be in a Clearance Dry-spell these days. Once the last load of items got sold two weeks ago, there haven't been any new clearances at all. I go in a couple of times a week and nothing is newly marked down.

Can't get greedy, gotta wait for my turn, I guess....

[The 1 2 P]

At a Target I saw the price tags of sales I missed:

Skate(360) $14.98
Bully(360) $7.98

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target finds for your viewing pleasure:

Lost Odyssey(360) $14.98-I finally got one for myself
Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit(360) $14.98


Not sure if it's just around here or not, but if you've missed a deal on a clearance game at Target, check your local Goodwill. The closest Goodwill to me generally has a handful of former Target clearance games (largely the horseshit titles, unfortunately).

Same here. Today they had a ton of Madden 08 at Goodwill. The sad thing was that the last marked Target price was $7.48 and Goodwill was selling them for $6.48 plus tax:?

[DigitalSpace]

Here's what stood out at a Target I was at this afternoon:

House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return
Ninja Reflex
Bee Movie Game

All for the Wii, $20.98 each. I'm not sure if Ninja Reflex and Bee Movie are even worth noting here, but they're probably more appealing than the multiple copies of MLB 08 for the PS3 that they had for the same price.

I bought the last copy of Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck for the DS, which isn't a clearance game, but is one of the DS titles that's on sale for $11.99 through tomorrow.

[Dr. Dib]

Went to Target today to see if they still had in GTAIV Special edition for 360 (selling it for $45, but I skipped because I really didn't need it). They didn't but I did find No More Heroes for 20.98. Sad it is on clearance, but they are making a sequel so yeah.

I think they also may have had FaceBreaker for PS3, but I'd doubt that that was the game because it is unlikely it would be on clearance so soon. Didn't look at the price though.

[Deadman]

Some of today's Target clearance stuff include:

PURE (PS3) - $29.98 (50% off)
Pure (xbox 360) - $41.98 (25% off)
Lego Raiders (xbox 360) - $40.98

And a few sports titles, like NBA and Madden but since I don't buy them I didn't notice the new prices.

I seriously can't believe that Pure is already on clearance??? I would buy it for the PS3 but as much as I'm trying I just can't get used to the PS3 controllers. I still prefer the 360 but those games don't seem to get clearanced as quick as the PS3 versions.

Argh.

[norkusa]

Last week I saw Sid Meier's Revolution (360) for $41.98 at Target. I don't own a PS3, so I didn't check if that was the same price as well, but it most likely was.

[titanzguard]

I have been visiting 4 different Targets over the past 3-4 months and notice over the past month nothing new has arrived on the clearance shelf. Only thing I got new was Wario: Master of Disguise for 14.98. Everyone else has just a few titles. Wonder if the holiday season is keeping the games on the shelf in hopes they will sell for Christmas?

Only thing I got new was Wario: Master of Disguise for 14.98. Everyone else has just a few titles. Wonder if the holiday season is keeping the games on the shelf in hopes they will sell for Christmas?

The closest I have found is crappy cheap games for 14.98. They are not clearence or anything, just cheap.

Well, I did find Harvey Birdman for 14.98, but it was not on clearence. They need to get some more good games on clearence before black friday to help me out.

[mailman187666]

I haven't seen anything new on the clearance shelf in a while myself. The Kmart I check usually restocks every couple months but I think its been since July. So I'm starting to think its because of the holiday season.

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target clearance featured:

Gears of War(360) $27.98
Ninja Gaiden 2(360) $41.98
Rainbow Six Vegas(360) $41.98
No More Heroes(Wii) Still $20.98

I'm going to check my other local Target tomorrow after work. And they really need to lower all those clearance Wii games below $20.98.

[The 1 2 P]

Todays Target finds:

Ninja Gaiden 2(360) $29.98
Ferrari(PS2) $9.98
Final Fantasy Tactics(PSP) $13.98

[dr101z]

Today's Target find:

XBox 360 120GB HD $89.99.

[Deadman]

Checking back to my Target, I found a lot of the same deals you guys have, including the 360 Ninja Gaiden II, Gears Of War and more:

Lego Indiana Jones (360) - $41.98
Need for Speed Prostreet (360) - $19.99
Need for Speed Prostreet (PS3) - $19.99
Pure (360) - $41.98

And the ones that I bought:
Pure (PS3) - $14.98
Ferrari Challenge (PS2) - $9.98

Another case where having both a PS3 and a 360 is a good thing! Always take the cheapest one! I'll go back and get a NFS ProStreet when they get down to about $3, since that's about all it's worth. :)

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target find:

XBox 360 120GB HD $89.99.

I found one for $125 today. But after hearing that I may have to take it back tomorrow and search thru the other Targets up here. That is a great deal. You should should really sell it to me for a $100:wink 2:

[DigitalSpace]

Here's what stood out at a Target I went to this evening:

DS:
Sega Superstars Tennis - $13.98
Kirby Squeak Squad - $20.98

PSP:
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (GH) - $13.98

PS2:
Pac-Man 3-pack (World 2, World 3, and Rally) - $20.98

PS3:
Golden Axe - $41.98

DVD:
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Volume II - $12.46

[MachineGex]

A few days back I got Facebreaker PS3 for $12.48 at Target. I saw the same game at another Target yesterday for 24.98. I still see this game at full retail everywhere else.

[The 1 2 P]

I still see this game at full retail everywhere else.

And thats exactly why I made this thread: to keep people in the know about potential video game sales in their area based on store chain. Your mileage will vary of course, but a little heads up is better than no heads up at all:wink 2:

So today I found the 120 gb hard drive for $99.99 at Best Buy. But before anyone goes racing up to BB, this was kind of a fluck. They had it marked at $99.99 but it rang up at the normal $149. But because the price tag was on it they let me have it. When I picked it up I thought it was funny how it was marked the same price as the 60 gb hard drive as they stood right next to each other.

So I returned the one I bought for $125 back to Target. Which means I now just have to get an arcade unit and I'll have a make shift Elite(I already have hdmi cables for it).

[The 1 2 P]

Got Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on PS2 for $22. It's on sale this week but only the PS2 version.

[Deadman]

Today's Target markdowns include:

Pure (360) - $14.98 (finally!)
Ninja Gaiden II (360) - $14.98
Most of t he others were still at last weeks prices.

I did find this interesting Gamecube combo pack:
Outlaw Golf and Darkened Skye 2-pack - $6.98 so I got it for my kids Xmas...

[SegaAges]

Whoa, Pure is still relatively new. Man, I just keep spending more and more money, hahaha. I am so going to get Pure after work.

NG2, how is it? Honestly. I am not dropping 15 if it is retarded difficult

I just saw Silent Hill Homecoming (PS3) on clearance for $41.98 at Target.

Man, that was fast. Didn't this just get released last month?

[Deadman]

NG2, how is it? Honestly. I am not dropping 15 if it is retarded difficult


Actually, I haven't opened it yet, but for that price brand new, it's hard to pass up! I'll get to it eventually....

[Deadman]

This mornings trip to Target didn't show me too much except people like to buy Clearance stuff at Target after Thanksgiving. Here's what I found:

Uncharted (PS3) - $29.98 (finally coming down - gonna get this one when it hits $14.98)
Golden Axe: Beastrider (PS3) - $14.98
Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360) - $14.98
Pirates of the Caribbean: Worlds End (360) - $9.98

So, I have a question, is DMC4 that crappy? I don't have it, but am thinking of getting it since it's this low and is at final clearance prices.

Thanks

I played the demo and enjoyed it. I am so spending money I shouldn't tonight at target

[Deadman]

The reason I asked about the DMC4 is because it's been on clearance for a couple of months and they have literally 25-30 copies sitting there at $14.98! So, you start to wonder....

[DigitalSpace]

Here's what stood out at a Target I went to last night:

Gamecube:
X-Men Legends II - $10.48

DS:
Elite Beat Agents - $14.98
Also spotted another copy of Kirby Squeak Squad at $20.98.

PSP:
Wipeout Pulse - $14.98

360:
Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End - $9.98

[norkusa]

Picked up Medal of Honor Airborne (360) toady for $13.98 at Target. They had a ton of other new clearance games they just put out but I only was looking for the 360 ones.

I did see Silent Hill Homecoming (PS3) for $29.98 and the PS3 special edition of GTAIV for $61.98. Also saw a DDR Universe 2 bundle for either $29.98 or $39.98 (I'm pretty sure it was $29.98 though).

[The 1 2 P]

My Target got rid of all the PS3 GTA special editions without ever clearanced them. Today they still had a truck load of Devil May Cry 4 for $29.98. And Uncharted is still at $41.98. X-men Legends 2 for Gamecube is $10.98(it's cheaper at Sears).

Also, every store has now lowered the price of the Orange Box on both the 360 and PS3 to $19.99. Thats funny because I got a copy for the PS3 for $14.98 at Target about 6 months ago. And the weirdest thing at my Target today was a copy of Gears of War clearanced for $27.98.....although I got a clearanced copy from there last week for $19.98:?

[Deadman]

Went back today to check on the clearance items and there was only one Uncharted left at $29.98 and the Golden Axe were all gone! Too bad, I was going to get that one. A guy at GS told me that Uncharted has been released as a greatest hit and thats' why the price is coming down?? Anyone seen these?

[DigitalSpace]

Today they still had a truck load of Devil May Cry 4 for $29.98.

The Target I mentioned in my last post had several copies at DMC4 at that price as well.

[scooterb23]

Saw 360 Civilization Revolution for $29.98, and they had most of their PSP stock (if not all) at $13.98.

[DigitalSpace]

Not sure how good these deals are, but here's what I spotted at a Target tonight that wasn't listed in my post from a couple days ago:

Transformers: The Game (PS3) - $13.98
We Love Golf (Wii) - $24.98

[Deadman]

Well, a lot of the clearance games at my Target are getting scooped up for Christmas, so there's not a ton left, but here's what I say:

Naruto Ultimate Collection (3 games) for PS2 - $7.48 (i got this one)
Namco Fighting Collection (3 games) for PS2 - $14.98
Elite Beat Agents (DS) - $7.48 (i got two for Xmas presents)
Patapon for PSP - $13.98
Daxter for PSP - $13.98
TMNT (xbox 360) - $20.98
Devil May Cry 4 (360) - still $14.98, and still 30 copies on the shelf

Unfortunately, the Golden Axe (PS3) and Uncharted: Drakes Fortune (PS3) were all gone, as I apparently waited one week too long to add them to my collection...

[Deadman]

I went to another Target and they still have two Uncharted's for $29.98. I'll keep my eye on them, as I'm waiting for $14.98 on that one. The Golden Axe's have all dried up locally apparently.

[AZ Legend]

I wish Devil may cry 4 would go down to 14.98, its still 29.98. Theres only 5 copies left

[The 1 2 P]

Ditto. And that also goes for Ninja Gaiden 2. It's still $29.98 when you can find it. I would definitely scoop up DMC4 and NG2 if they were $14.98 each.

I'm going back on Wednesday morning to check for any markdowns and if you'd like, I can always get you guys DMC4, but it'll be more due to tax and of course shipping. LMK.

[The 1 2 P]

I'm going to check my two local Targets tomorrow and Thursday when I go to work. Hopefully I find something good, but like you said earlier Deadman--many of the clearance games are getting picked up as x-mas gifts by all those shoppers. During the rest of the year we don't have nearly as much competition but now it's hit or miss.

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target finds:

Devil May Cry 4(360) $14.98--finally

I swear when something closes, its not hear.

My CC isn't closing, and when Movie Gallery closed 500 stores or whatever, none of the 4 here closed.

Todays Target finds:

[Tempest]

I picked up Phantasy Star Universe for the PS2 for $14.99 at Target yesterday. Too bad they didn't have the 360 version or the expansion pack.

I was considering picking up Ninja Gaiden II, but I want to know if it has an easy mode (Ninja Dog) like the first one. Loved the game, but I could only get through it on easy...

[Deadman]

Having avoided the Xmas rush as much as possible for the last week or so, I ventured back to my Target today to find a few things:

Devil May Cry 4 (360) - still $14.98 but only ONE left, so i finally cracked and bought it.
AMF Bowling Pinbusters (Wii) - $3.74
Battle of the Bands (Wii) - $7.48
Hot Shots Golf (PS3) - $20.98
Patapon (PSP) - still $13.98 (will it ever go down again?)
Turok (360) - $29 still, but in clearance section?

Basically, the whole clearance section is becoming just a few titles, very few duplicates of each, as the world realizes that cheap games are still fun!

[The 1 2 P]

Mine does that too but they restock it atleast once every two weeks with stuff from the back and stuff that doesn't sell. How else could a copy of Fear for the 360 suddenly appear in the clearance section for $19.98 when the game hasn't been sold in this particular Target for atleast a year?

[The 1 2 P]

Today's Target finds:

GTA 4 Special Edition(PS3) $44.98

I got a walmart and best buy gift card, I'll update with any interesting clearance/sales I see from both. There's a CC nearby too so I'll check that out as well.

[monkeychemist]

This thread is a bunch of LIES! lies I tell you. I live in Clearwater, FL and went this morning to CC, BB, Sears, Kmart, Target, Walmart and Radio Shack and found NOTHING, absolutely nothing. After Christmas sales my butthole!

haha, i'm so depressed, all I want is a new copy of heavenly sword for $20, or Fallout 3 for $30, is that too much to ask? (well maybe that second one)

Um.....you milelage will vary depending on the store you go to and the time you go there(after xmas is most likely NOT the best time to get deals because they were scooped up as gifts). Also, if you area really doesn't have anything good, perhaps consider asking someone else for something specific that they do have at their location. I'm sure there might be a small finders but atleast you'll have a better chance at getting what you want.

[riverdragon]

The Blockbuster by me in Southern California has a lot of their new games marked down from 10-50%.
I was mainly looking for Wii stuff so here are some of the highlights of that-

Mario Galaxy $25
Mario Sluggers $35
Mario Party 8 $27
Lego Batman $33
Hulk $22
Super Smash Bros Brawl $35

[Deadman]

It's not a clearance, but Target is having a sale right now which includes a LOT of the big holiday releases for cheap(ish), including:

Fallout 3 (all formats) $39
NFS: Undercover (all formats) $39
and quite a few others.

[Daft Punk]

I just left target and they had a couple thing

Guitar hero aerosmith (game only ps3) $13
Madden 09 CE $64 360
hot shots tennis ps2 $14

Passed on all that . If buy madden if it were less than $30 .

Hit another radio shack and they had some of the clearence accesories but nothing worth buying .

[Daft Punk]

Warhawk bundle (with Jabra Bluetooth headset) - $25 Sears B&M (YMMV)
SingStar vol1 PS3 (w/mics) 14.99 B&M @ Sears YMMV

[The 1 2 P]

My Target's were both pretty much empty in both the clearance and game cases(so was Wal-Mart) because of all the holiday gift buying. Something I find weird is this: how come Target stocks three game cases full of Wii games and only one for the 360 and one for the PS3? The 360 has the same amount of games as both the Wii and PS3 combined. Anyway, the three clearance items I did see at Target today:

Malice(PS2) $4.98
Spider-Man 3(360) $7.48
Elite Beat Agents(DS) $7.48

Just so you know, at Target, each department's clearance prices differ(may differ under certain specifications under the broad categories as well) as to how low they will go. From memory of an employee telling me before I believe the magic final clearance number for Electronics is 4($x.x4). But that is if memory serves me correct. (Which today it hasn't so much.)

If it is not a 4 then it is definitely an 8($x.x8). But something about the 4 rings a major bell.

[The 1 2 P]

All of Circuit City's $12.96-19.99 clearance games are on sale all this week(until Saturday) for $9.99. I bought from there:

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon(Xbox)
Fear Files(360)

There were many more games available for the Xbox, PS2, GC, DS, PSP, and 360. Go check your local Circuit City out.

[kupomogli]

My Circuit City sucks. Every time there is a major sale, all the employees wipe out the store and you'll see literally none of the clearanced games. The shelves are completely empty of clearanced games even if you get there as soon as the store opens.

Ditto. I have only gotten one or two games there that were any bargain in the entire time they have been in business.

[The 1 2 P]

Maybe you guys should try a different Circuit City. There are two near me(three until one closed down two weeks ago). Variety(as they say) is the spice of life.

[tkusina]

Just picked up GTA IV Special Edition for PS3 for $22.48 at target. Yes!!

[Nate Nanjo]

I went to my CC looking for Viking on the PS3, but they only had the 360 version. :(

There are only 2 that are reasonably close. Just too many fish in my pond I guess.

[DigitalSpace]

I checked out a Circuit City this afternoon to check out the $9.96 clearance sale noted above. Not much left aside from sports titles and licensed crap, but I did manage to find something I wanted: Geometry Wars Galaxies for DS. :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention this CC's used game section. The last time I was at this location, it consisted of nothing but empty shelves, but they actually had a small selection of used titles this time around. However, most of the prices sucked. For example, they had the PS2 version of Test Drive Unlimited for $34.99. The new copies were $29.99, which isn't a good deal either, as I've spotted it for $5-$15 elsewhere. On the plus side, the GBA games were complete.

Malice(PS2) $4.98
Spider-Man 3(360) $7.48
Elite Beat Agents(DS) $7.48

It all comes down to floorspace determined by what it selling/what is negotiated with the game companies. Right now, the Wii is selling tenfold what the PS3 is selling, and outselling the 360 4 or 5 to one. It is strictly a business move, what is selling. I do actually think that the Wii actually has alot more games coming for it(currently) than both systems. Now how many of them arent shovelware...that is another topic.

[Deadman]

I've been debating picking up the Rock Band AC/DC expansion pack for the 360 at walmart for some time now and I heard they are starting to dry up, so since I was there today shopping for groceries, I looked at them. They had the standard game for $29.97 and the "Fan Pack" for $42.00. I asked the guy to look at the fan pack and saw that it included a Live DVD and T-shirt as well as the DVD. He check the price and it rang up the same as the regular game - $29.97! Don't know if this is a sale, clearance, or goof up but I'm happy with it!

[The 1 2 P]

Circuit City is selling the following games for $14.99 until this Saturday:

Game Party(Wii)
Samba De Amiga(Wii)
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Sage(360, PS3, Wii)
The Orange Box(PS3, 360)
Sonic(360,PS3)
Sims 2(Pc)

I'm going to go get the Orange Box for the 360.

[Deadman]

Locally, my Target's and Toys R Us's are apparently sick of old Guitar Hero games, as they are all being clearanced:

Target:
GH III (guitar bundle) - PS3 or 360 - $24.98
GH Aerosmith (guitar bundle) - PS3 or 360 - $24.98
GH Aerosmith (game only) PS2 - $19.98
GH III (dual guitar bundle) PS2 - $49.98

Toys R US:
GH III (guitar bundle) - PS2 or PS3 - $49.98

Today I took part in Circuit City's sale and got The Orange Box(360) for $14.99.

[norkusa]

Been to a couple different Target stores over the past few days and saw the GTA IV special edition at both for $44.98. Kinda strange that they're clearing this out now while the 360 version was put on clearance a few months ago.

Also, I just picked up Operation Darkness (360) at Best Buy today for $17.99. I don't know much about it other than it's a SRPG from Atlus, but it looks decent so I thought I'd give it a try. The in-store price is actually $29.99 and the online price is $17.99, but just ask and they'll adjust it for you.

[Famidrive-16]

Circuit City is starting to slash some prices it seems, I was there today and some titles (mostly 360 and Gamecube from what I saw) were slashed down by $10. They had new price stickers slapped over the cases. I was there last week and these prices were down from last time. Just thought you guys would like to know.

thanks for the heads up. I've looked at this game before and waited for it to come down. I just picked one up for 17.99 with the price match. I wonder how it holds up to other srpgs out there.

Ya ill be getting Ninja 2 and Condemned, So they can sit on my shelf until i beat the 5 other unopened 360 games. Holidays are rough :)

[The 1 2 P]

I snatched up Ninja Gaiden 2 today, but not from Best Best. As expected, my Best Buy was sold out when I got there(a mere two hours after they opened) so I went and did a price match at Circuit City. Goooooooooooo me!!!

[Deadman]

I went by tonight (after completely forgetting about the new sale all day) and they were out of only Ninja Gaiden, so I picked up the two I was interested in - Turok and FaceBreaker. Turok I've been wanting since release and FaceBreaker looks like a fun way to kill some hours with my kids.

Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

I snatched up Ninja Gaiden 2 today, but not from Best Best. As expected, my Best Buy was sold out when I got there(a mere two hours after they opened) so I went and did a price match at Circuit City. Goooooooooooo me!!!

You can read all about my exploits of trying to get a copy of Ninja Gaiden 2 for $9.99 in this thread: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126310&page=7

BIG SCORE at Target today! The Playstation 3 GTA4 special edition packs around here have never dropped below the "clearance" price of $69.99 (from $89.99 original price) where they've been since before Halloween. I took a chance to go check and sure enough, they were $22.48! There were only the same two that have been there forever, one opened and one sealed, so I grabbed em. Now I have a player and a keeper.

Other notables:

GTA IV Special Edition (PS3) - $22.48
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3) - $14.98
Jericho (Xbox 360) - $12.48
Hot Shots Golf (ps2) - $7.48

I picked up an NG2 today. At first it seemed that there were none left, as its slot on the shelf was plainly empty. I stuck around for a bit, though, and ended up finding one (which was probably hidden by another deal hunter) behind the Naruto game. Score!

My Targets didn't have jack shit today. I mean, there were some computer games and an overpriced copy of Jericho on the 360(still at $24.98) but that was it.

Yeah, I went into my local Target and they didn't have much either. Just one lonely-looking little endcap. I did find Guitar Hero Aerosmith (game only) for PS2 for $9.98. I'm not a fan of Aerosmith and am actually pretty tired of the whole Fisher-Price instruments genre, but I figure I'll probably at least get a decent night of after-bar entertainment out of it.

[Deadman]

I don't have a lot of reason typically to post deals from GameStop here, but saw one today.

Time Crisis 4 (with Guncon) NEW (PS3) - $39.99

Everywhere else these things are still $59.99 or so.

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I got it tonight - the guy working the register had to go into the back to get it and was surprised how cheap it was.

And the guy didn't charge me sales tax (which is normally in downtown Minneapolis around 7.5%) since I used trade in credit, which was pretty cool.

I happened to be near a Target yesterday, so I picked up Jericho (360) for $12.48. Someone had shoved a Guitar Hero: Aerosmith set with the guitar (360) behind the display TVs and when I took it to the counter, it rang up for $24.98.

Then, I got a great deal on a tire gauge for $1.18! Somebody pinch me!!! :D

[Deadman]

Not a whole lot at my Target, as apparently the end of the year is the time for clearance, not the beginning of the year, but here's what I saw:

Jericho (360) - $12.48 - still about 20 of these. Reviews are terrible, so I passed.
Haze (PS3) - $20.98 - down from the $29.99 price. First time I've seen this discount, so I'll wait for a little longer
Transformers the Game (PS3) - $20.98, also down from $29.99.

That's about it. Slim pickins around here....

[AZ Legend]

Ya well all my target has is Guitar Hero Aerosmith for the ps2. Thats it.

[The 1 2 P]

My Target only had one clearance game and that was Jericho(360), still for $24.98. But it's been that way for weeks so I scanned it at a price scanner and it rung up $12.48. I didn't pick it up yet though.

I know there is probably a Circuit City closeout thread, but I haven't found it yet so I'm making a quick report here. I have two CC's left near me and they both have all games at a measly 10% off - not very good for a "Store Closing Clearance" I must say. But one of the stores has it's Accessories at 30% off, which isn't half bad. They were pretty cleaned out, but I did see these in stock at 30% off:

Dualshock 2 controllers - about $12 or so
PS3 Blu-Ray remote controls - $17.50 (I bought the only one)
Xbox 360 controllers - $35.00

All Microsoft Points and Xbox Live subscription cards at 30% off! They didn't have the 4000 point cards or 12 month cards, but I grabbed all of the 1600 point cards that they had, with each ringing up at $13.99! Find of the Day!!

Not One (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1500946) Sir,

But Two (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1500571)!


In fact, one of them was merely two posts under this one in the "Daily Deals and Discounts" Sub-Forum.

I grabbed Patapon(PSP) for $4.98 from Target the other day, so I suppose that'd be one to look for.

Been watching that one for awhile at my Targets, but it's stayed in the $13.98 range. I'll go check back later today for it.

I've been waiting and watching my Walmart for a couple of months now because they've had the PS3 "Eye of Judgement" pack for only $29.96 hoping it might come down some more, but since it didn't I grabbed the last one today. It's so covered in dust that it's probably been on the same shelf for a year or more.

[The 1 2 P]

My Target still didn't have shit today....just pc games. I went to Circuit City but all their 360 Arcade systems were gone. But theres another Circuit City I can try tomorrow.

[SegaAges]

Yeah, I got Line Rider 2 for pc about a week about for 9.98, but my targets never have anything decent.

My Target has had Haze at that price for almost 2 weeks now with a few copies still left, so I'm hoping this week or next it will drop once more.
