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

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.

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.

Those games for $9.99 are sure hard to pass up. I am grabbing NG2 and at least 1 or 2 others.
Thanks for the heads up!

[AZ Legend]

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!

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!

[The 1 2 P]

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.

[Neil Koch]

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.

[Neil Koch]

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.

[josekortez]

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!!!

[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.
