Yes, much like Best Buy recently did, CC is clearing out older games for cheap. An official list hits Tuesday but the price drops are already in effect in the computer, so I scanned as much as I could in my free time today at work to see what rang up cheap. Here are my findings:

GBA:
Shining Soul
Robotech: Macross Saga

ps2:
Aliens vs Predator
Bloody Roar 4
Devil May Cry 2
Frequency
Jet X20
Rygar
Robot Alchemic Drive
Roadkill
Sled Storm
Ico
Metropolismania
My Street


Xbox:
Aliens vs Predator
Crimson Sea
Toejam & Earl III
Dino Crisis 3
Burnout 2
Evil Dead
State of Emergency
Roadkill


GCN:
MegaMan Battle Network


These (above) are all titles I have confirmed personally (and can remember). I have speculated on some others that are probably $4.99 and they are listed as follows:

Monster Rancher 3 (ps2)
Mark of Kri (ps2)
Primal (ps2)
Super Bust a Move (ps2)
Drake (Xbox)
Dragons Lair 3D (Xbox)
Dave Mirra 2 (GCN)
E.T. (GBA)
Dead to Rights (GCN)
Big Mutha Truckers (all 3)


I have no idea if the list of markdowns is completed yet, as some I really expected to be on there aren't at the $4.99 pricepoint yet. They may just be doing a few per day and doing the rest tomorrow or Tuesday, I have no idea. This isn't set to be advertised at all until the 10th, but I've already had one CAG regular come into my store looking for certain titles, so the word is out. Get it while the gettin's good!

When does Circuit City close and open. I am wondering because I work a night shift at Meijer, and could go before or after work.

Off topic, but are shipping boxes for game related stuff worth anything?

Good luck. My store had 1 copy of SS, 1 copy of TJ&E and 2 copies of MMNT. Go as soon as possible to ensure you aren't left with crap like Drake to choose from.

Not yet, but they bought some Canadian store out and you should have them soon. I know this becuase they woke me up at 9AM to tell me this shit about a month ago in a storewide meeting...whooptie-fuck-do.


Also, good luck finding a lot of those $5 games Cmosfm listed from CAG. I haven't seen some of them in ages, and some of them I don't remember EVER seeing at my store. Hopefully the CAG crowd won't turn the next week into a hellride. We have 2 guys that are pretty nice that come in when we run deals (one offered to give up the last copy of Rez because I had mentioned considering it), but most of the rest are just assholes.

07-03-2004, 10:13 PM
Man, this is why I love reading posts from this board. Picked up 13 of these bad boys today for 68 bucks total. Damn, what a sweet deal! One of my best bargain hauls ever. I really wanted Ape Escape 2, Kung-Fu Chaos, and Dragon's Lair, but those weren't there. I have two more tries tomorrow morning at 11!

Thanks again for the heads-up.

PS: Add City Crisis (PS2) to your list as well as Dead or Alive Volleyball (XBOX).

Half Japanese
07-03-2004, 10:32 PM
I didn't post anything at CAG, since that place is a breeding ground for greedy gamemongers (not that DP is completely void of those :D ), I figured I'd let DP in on this now-not-so-secret deal first. Thanks for those two you mentioned, I might have to try out DOA Volleyball for $5. I have a whole stack of games set aside at work to pick up later this week.

I might start a definitive list culled from personal experience and DP users input if the interest is there. Keep in mind that this deal runs until the 30th!

07-03-2004, 10:49 PM
Thank you for this wonderful heads up, as I do not always check in at CAG. Got around 8 great titles, all in the weekend finds =D. Disgaea will easily make almost all my money back on ebay since I already have it.

Thanks so much. As a dad with 3 kids, I don't get much chance to get games too much except for used and for my antiquated retro systems (Which they find boring :roll: ). Thanks to you folks I picked up 7 (6 kid friendly :D ) titles for their GameCube. I aways heard great things about Viewtiful Joe; now we can finally play it. :popcorn:
Thanks again for the heads up. Have a great 4th folks.

I happened to pick up the Dragon's Lair title for the Cube today at that sale. If you want it, I'd be glad to trade it to you if you don't find it tomorrow. I bought it because I was curious how this title turned out, so I'm not partial to it, and I'll give fair value in trade (Meaning, $5 & shipping).

WOW, you seem quite determined! There's still a few CC's I gotta hit tomorrow for a few titles I didn't find. Might go back to another to get Shining Soul. Heard it sucked, but for 5, might as well throw it in the collection.

07-03-2004, 11:53 PM
vespertillio, good to hear! A manager of mine caught wind of the deal today (they're never as up to date on the good deals it seems, as I got chewed out for selling a bunch of pennied-out strategy guides a few months ago) and he had me round up as many kid-friendly titles as I could find for the $4.99 price and he mentioned he was going to be a "hero" to his kids that night.

Due to this awsome post, I walked over to a Circut City(which had a TON of ancient games that were overpriced) and cleaned house big time! I got these games all for $4.99 and got the sales peopple to have some shocked looks on their faces. The games I got were the following:

Bloody Roar 4
Clock Tower 3
Ninja Assault
REZ......oh yeah score!
Dino Stalker
Mega Man Network Transmission
Murakumo
Yana Caballista
Panzer Dragoon
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness...I couldnt believe this one!
Chaos Legion
Dark Cloud 2
Breat of Fire Dragon Quarter
Crimson Sea

Great Day Great Day Indeed!

lendelin
07-04-2004, 01:14 AM
Great post, thanks Ramone!!

Thank goodness no invitations tonight, and I rushed to a CC.

I got:

Mega Man X7 (on my must-buy-list)
Crimson Sea (same)
Chaos Legion (same)
Eternal Ring (maybe list)
Voodoo Vince
Vexx
Spyhunter 2
Mario Party 4

Eternal Ring, btw, is a $5 game as well! It is not on the $5 list, I decided to pick it up finally for the marked $15, and it rang up for $5 as well. Primal (PS2) is NOT on sale for $5.

8 very good new games worthwhile playing for $40, that's a great deal. Thanks again.

I'd have loved to pick up a Rez and Disgaea (although I have them) for $5 and keep them shrinkwrapped, and many other games (Viewtiful Joe!), but I was actually surprised that I found these games I wanted, and a MMX7 and Crimson Sea for five bucks, what a great deal!

Could use a Disgaea too.... *sniff*

I was at CC today and I had no idea this was going on and wouldn't have unless this one guy hadn't shared his four page print out of games that were supposed to be $4.99. He had grabbed most of the good stuff but was nice enough to give me a copy of Vietiful Joe he had in his basket. He shared his list with everyone who was in the video game area so that CC is pretty much dead now. Still came away with 10 games :)

07-04-2004, 03:31 AM
Yep, they're honoring our country's birthday with a 2-day sale. Nice finds everyone, you guys found a lot more than I ever did at my store! When CC ran the 50% off sale after Christmas it seems that most of the CAGs blew their load then, leaving us with not as much backstock as I wish we had now!

I'm off tomorrow but I think I'll make the trip back out there to pick up those I stashed away today. Now I just need to convince myself to get a ps2 so I can enjoy half of the cheap games I'll be buying!

07-04-2004, 04:51 AM
Shit! I worked until 10 last night and then I logged onto CheapAssGamer and read about this. I hope I didn't miss out on the good stuff at my local CC. I'm going to have to check this out if holiday plans don't get in the way.

07-04-2004, 05:44 AM
Yes, I am a Canuck without a CC to call my own. With any luck there will be a glut of games on eBay. There are few (dozen) titles there I wanted. If anyone would be so kind as to pick up:

Ikaruga (Game Cube)
Rygar (PS2)

I would pay cost plus shipping.

Someone please tell me why I have the worst f***ing luck with these sales. I wasn't able to go yesterday, so I go today at opening. I get to the game section and they have everyone game on the list in the cart by the register. Here's the conversation between myself and employees (short version):

ME: Are these the games that are selling for $4.99
CC: Yeah, but thats a mistake. They are not supposed to be that price.
ME: Well they are that price all around the country and you guys were selling these yesterday for this price.
CC: Did those games have a $4.99 sticker on them or were they ringing up $4.99.
ME: They ring up $4.99
CC: Well were not selling them even if they ring up $4.99.

Manager comes over and asks if I need help, and I ask him and he says there was a "computer malfunction" or something like that. WTF...all these stores were selling this shit all yesterday and they didn't catch this "malfunction". He claims that the real sale doesn't start until the 11th, and you know by then all of the games will be gone. I f***ing hate this BS!!!!

Half Japanese
07-04-2004, 12:05 PM
Wow...that's some fucking bullshit. Tell them to call their music hotline and have them confirm that $4.99 is indeed the correct price for the games. If you have a credit card or a good deal of money in the bank, pick up the titles you want now and have them price match them on the 11th. You get 110% of the difference, making the deals even better! That really sucks, but knowing my managers it's not that surprising. Assholes.

My store hadn't been cleaned out, but simply didn't have many of the games on the list for sale. I saw another CAS guy there and we went through games; he said he'd been the night before and there wasn't much more, so at least I didn't miss it.

Would've loved to get DOAV, Panzer Dragoon Orta or Okage though.

Picked up
Dino Crisis 3
Mobile Suit Gundam (to trade/sell)
Spy Hunter 2
Stretch Panic
Parappa 2

Someone mentioned Gladius above? We checked the PS2 one, at least, and it wasn't included in the sale, I thought.

PS2

Rygar
Tsugunai

Shadow of Destiny
Mega Man X7
Mega Man Anniversary ($30 bucks- average in baby!)
Chaos Legion

Overall it was pretty chaotic by the time I hit the second CC (Moms with their brats, chicks, and old geezers freaking out wanting to know which games were on sale, kids crying, etc.). My thanks to whoever posted the list earlier in this thread as it was way more complete than what others had on theirs who I talked to at the store. I walked away with 20 games for $5 each... I have to say today was a good day! Good luck to everyone who still is going out, I'm done- gonna go enjoy the Holiday now.

It was pretty funny too, most of the employees had no idea what was going on...two of them at the one store were scrambling to find someone with a list since apparently CAG went down earlier this afternoon so naturally I referred them here instead... ;) LOL

Being in the Chicago 'burbs means some o' you got to the deals before I did. ;) There were a handful of the games on the lists here, but they rang up at their ($19) sticker price, or at least the ones I wanted did. I got a couple of e-Reader games, so I'm all set. Woulda loved a PDO, though.

I sure wish mine had more that I wanted, but alas. They said several people got in there already today and many of the employees didn't know what was going on. One employee actually bought my list off me for a buck when I was done with it so that he could use it ;)

My modest haul:

Cube:
The Sims
Pac-Man Fever

GBA:
Chu Chu Rocket
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

PS2:
Castlevania ($14.99 sale)
Defender
Legends of Wrestling II
WWE Crush Hour

After seeing davidbrit's post, though, I plan to head back for Duke Nukem Advance.

I must not be good at this :embarrassed: ...I guess most of you just take a gamble and take the games up to the register? I didn't want to end up in a weird situation where I say "oh...nm" if they all ringed up for the prices on the tag (the bin games had tags ranging from 11.99-14.99).

when i went i saw too other people with lists. Those that we grab were definately $5, however we did pull a few other that werent on the list.

Just go there with a list and starting looking in the shelves, not the bin.

If you have a question, just have them scan it before you take it to the register.

Yeah, always ask. I'm never an asshole to price-checkers. It's 3 taps on the keyboard and a scan.

Anyway, here's what I picked up at my store:

ps2:
Mad Maestro
Robot Alchemic Drive
Bloody Roar 4
Mega Man X7

GCN:
Megaman Battle Network

Xbox:
Toejam and Earl 3
Burnout 2
Crimson Sea

GBA:

I would love a copy of Ico but I put it back at the last minute yesterday and it wasn't there today...

All I did was go up to the guy at the register and asked him "I think these are on sale but I'm not positive. Do you mind scanning them for me so I can be sure?". I brought a huge stack up there...most were $4.99. Some weren't. I paid for the $4.99 ones and put the rest back. Real simple.

I had Shining Soul but when the Store Manager told me that it was a glitch in the system & would have to pay full price for these games so I left it. So....does anybody have an extra copy that I could buy/trade for? Or any extra copies of Morrowwind GOTY or Mega Man X7?

good luck when I was their the CAG people were taking them out by the basket full. I guess I was lucky one of them was nice enough to give me one of their doubles of Viewtiful Joe. I hope you like sports games. That's all people seem to be leaving behind

Hey Drexel923, give it another try. I had almost the word for word same coversation with a SM this morning, went to another CC (luckily there are 4 around me) and came back later in the day. He apologized for being a dick and said that He was told by his DM not to sell them at that price. He even had one of the employees there get the list off GameFaq's website. After that he told me to buy as many as I wanted.

Because of this I lost out on the lone copy of Shining Soul, which I was going to play on the vacation flight, so again if anyone has an extra...

What a crappy time to not have any money. :(

People are already selling them on another site for $20 + shipping. What a bastard... of course I'd probably do something similar if I could. LOL

I decided to go back because I was getting that sick feeling I got when I missed the BB sale (it was worse this time since I was there earlier and just walked out :roll:).

Ran into a guy with a list, confirming I needed to pick up stuff now. I didn't get a lot of A-list stuff like others, but 5 bucks is better than 20...right? ;)

GBA

Chu Chu Rocket
Boktai
Jet Grind Radio

PS2

Eternal Ring
Spy Hunter 2
Aliens vs. Predator
Unlimited Saga (Rang up 14.99...shrugged and took it).

After tax rang up 48 bucks and some change. If you're heading to the Concord CA store, there was one more Boktai sitting on the shelf along with some other stuff (I thought about buying it for trade/Ebay fodder...who wouldn't?...but then I remembered how fucked I felt when everyone bought out BB...so I left it...a small non-greedy gesture, but it felt nice for some weird reason :D at least nice enough for me to mention it in this post =P).

I found a good portion of games that I wanted, but I'm going to hit another one up tomorrow. I did pretty good today, besides a handful of $5 games that I'll actually play I also found a few stragling 1 penny Pokemon Colosseum discs that I'll be putting on eBay.
