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

[AB Positive]

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.

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.

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

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 .

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
