Circuit City sale! Cheap Odin Sphere and more

[mailman187666]

I was looking through the December 07 finds thread and noticed some of you were picking up brand new 360 games for $8 a piece. So I went over to CAG to check out the master list and it looks as though most of the games are around $17 a piece on the list they had. So I was just wondering if this sale is going on this week and if the games are $8 or if they are $17 or if it depends on the store. Any info would be great. Lock this if somebody else started it and I missed it please.

The $7.99 games are in this weeks sale add. You can get them at that price online as well.

I picked up Monster Madness (360) and Red Steel (Wii) on Sunday for $7.99 a pop. Even if they are terrible, at $8 each, how could I go wrong? They had a couple of PS2 games at that price too, but they were only ~$10 anyhow (i.e. Art of Fighting Anthology). They also had "Call of Juarez" (360) listed at $8, but it was out of stock.

Get the deals where and while you can...

Call of Juarez and Monster Madness are $7.99 this week at Circuit City. Most stores sold out of these titles Sunday. You can always check your local store, but based on the posts at CAG, it would likely be a waste of time.

The $16.96 titles listed over at CAG are clearance prices for the entire year of 2007. Most of the games listed are long out of stock.

There is a monthly thread over at CAG that lets people know what the latest clearance games are. The $16.96 price is not a weekly sale price. It's their regular "clearanced" price until they sell out of those particular titles. On rare occasions, the price goes lower after a few months. 360 titles don't sit around long enough to warrant further clearance prices. Bomberman Act Zero ($12.96) and Madden '06 ($8.96) being the only exceptions.

Yeah, they run out of games at this price pretty quick because of a$$ clowns like myself who pick up 3 copies of Call of Juarez for system link. Oh well, guess I got there first. You can always price match at BB.

I'm in the minority, but I didn't think Red Steel was too bad. Some of the later sword fights are annoying, and not having in-level game saves sucks. But for $8, that's a good deal IMO.

If you've got 3 xbox 360s to system link, you need the deals more than I do !

[josekortez]

Yeah, I've been trying to find a copy of Monster Madness with no avail. I know this isn't a trade thread, but I've got other 360 games I'd possibly trade if someone can find this one for me.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Yeah... I picked up Red Steel for the Wii from the 7.99 sale today. If I were you I'd check Cheap Ass Gamer (like someone posted above), because they usally have the sales and clearance items posted almost a week in advance sometimes. If CAG has it posted, it's usually correct. Again, you have to really pay attention to the dates because they have next weeks and the previous weeks sales posted a lot of the time.

[josekortez]

Believe it or not, I live in Richmond, which is the home of Circuit City. Ironically, though, all of the Circuit Cities are 20 miles or more away from me, which is why I haven't bothered to chase down the Monster Madness game...

[MachineGex]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Circuit City is closing out a bunch of games. There are some really good deals on the Gamecube(and others). I am not sure if it is all the stores, the employees did not know. They said they just changed the prices this morning. They had almost all of the Gamecube games marked down to 8.97-12.97.. A bunch of PS2 at $8.97-$12.97 Misc PSP and DS, at $8.97-14.97, GBA $4.97-12.97
Here are some of the deals that I bought:
Gamecube-Mario Superstar Baseball -$8.97
Gamecube-Super Mario Strikers - $8.97
Gamecube-Paper Mario - $8.97
Gamecube-Super Mario Sunshine - $8.97
Gamecube-Animal Crossing(wmem card)- $8.97

GBA-The Incredibles & Finding Nemo(Double pack) $8.97

There were a bunch more games, but I ran out of money...

[Steve W]

Y'know, I keep thinking about picking up Monster Madness on the 360 because I read a review stating that it was like a cartoony version of Gauntlet. But every store I see it at has it for $40-$60. Not only do I refuse to go into a Circuit City after a few very bad experiences, I refuse to pay full price for games that I know Circuit City sold off for $8. I keep hoping Monster Madness will drop down to $15 or so, that way I could justify picking it up.

I can confirm the sale, it takes place. I let a local CC check the prices.

I was mistrustful and suspected YMMV because the .97 price isn't a common CC nationwide clearance bin sale. However, the actual prices end in .96, the games are indeed on clearance.

[Drag0nsfyre]

this must be a region thing. I stopped at my local CC and Strikers and Smash Bros and most GC games were still $30 or so I even went to have it checked and the price was as stated. damnit!

[lendelin]

I let the CC guy do a price check for the games that were in store and on the list, and they all were 8.96 in the cash register. Those were

Over the Hedge
Ratatouille
Starfox Assault
Sonic Heroes

...so I assumed the nationwide sale takes place and the prices were correct for the other games as well. (which is usually the case for these sales) Strictly speaking, I can only confirm the prices for the games above.

2 Copies of Odin Sphere

Purchased by Me

Only had 2 in stock asked the guy if their getting anymore for Sunday he said he doesn't see any in back or in transit but you know they never tell the truth.

Note: Did not see Dawn of Mana but they had 2 full bins of clearance games including Kingdom Hearts II and Dire of Ceberus and Scarface

[consolecrusader]

Was just at CC I can confirm those prices are legit, got their last 2 copies of Odin Sphere, one for teh lady and one for the pocket.
