It finally happened. I don't know if it's nationwide, but certain DC, N64 and boatloads of PC games got slashed in half. Paer Mario N64: $10. Unreal Tournament DC: $6. Certian games like Striker Pro on the DC only went down to $21 though. If you collect PC games though, definitely get over there. Alot of them are $5-$6 at the most (lsightly older ones of course).

Any chance the price on Gigawing for DC dropped. I've seen that game at TRU for the longest time, priced at an amazing 44.99.

Intec VMU's and Jump Packs are half off, $4.90 a piece I believe. Then again, that's all we had left. I believe everything DC went half-off with the exception of a few games (like Phantasy Star Online which I need yet...bastards..)

Extension cables were also $4.90 and we had tons of 'em. Forgot to add that.

WOW were these 1/2 signs up or were they retagged with cheaper prices?
I went to one of mine yesterday, and noticed Paper Mario had been repriced at $21.88 or something weird like that, and that also several of the DC games might had been repriced but not by much.
Gigawing was STILL priced at $44.99 and they had a whole slew other DC & N64 titles in the $34.99 range. I think Typing of the Dead was only $19.99 or around theres. Not to many real deals thou, unless maybe that just haven't repriced them.
Circuit City has had alot of cheap $10-20 titles, older games in their PSX section that still have $30 & $40 tags, but when I get them to price check they ring up $9.96, $14.96 etc. Worth a trip if you haven't been in awhile.

I just checked out the TRU website and the same deals are going on there. Great for people with no real access to a Toys R Us store (like me :( ).

Thier pricing is really strange. There were a couple good deals.
Conker bfd was $4.90
paper mario $10.90
perfect dark $9.98
dreamcast controllers were $6.90 but the vmus were still $9.99. I don't understand that one.
Like half half on the dc games. Some marked down others still high. I think gigawing & typing of the dead were $19.90.

Did you try scanning the prices. Maybe they didn't get around to putting price stickers on them yet.

Make sure to scan stuff! These changes have taken my store 4 days to finish so there's a damn good chance their not done yet.

Thanks foir the heads up on Paper Mario for $11. I had been waiting for that to go down. Make sure you guys have them scan the games, as the stickers at my TRU weren't updated yet but the prices were changed.

I was lucky and pickd up a copy of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike for Dreamcast for a meager $9.90. Everything else was pilfered through.
