Thanks for the heads up, man! It's not nearly as awesome as last year's sale ($5 Gitaroo-man OH GOD YES) but I'd like to pick up these:
PS2
Nanobreaker
Silent Hill 3
The Suffering
Viewtiful Joe
DS
Ridge Racer
I'll see if I can get there first thing sunday morning. Hopefully everything will be there!

Yeah, I feel the same way. I showed up at CC the same night word of the sale broke and was the first one to raid the store in my area. Only one other person was there and there were tons of great games to choose from.Originally Posted by classicb
The next day was a different story though. The place was swamped with people carrying lists and lots were snatching up multiple copies of the same titles. Lots of shoving and rudeness too. Figure it'll be worse this time and I don't want to put up with that again. Most of the games on that list can be picked up for $10 used at other stores anyway.

Yeah, having dealt with several CAGs personally, they fall into two distinct groups:
- Genuinely nice guys who are there to pick up a few games for themselves and maybe one a friend wanted. These guys are great, I don't mind them one bit, in fact I've befriended one regular. The same guy was at the sale last year and had the last copy of Rez, I mentioned "oh yeah, I was thinking of picking that up" and he hands it to me, "oh, you can have it." In the end I didn't take it, but that was damn cool of him to offer.
- Greedy list-having pricks there to pick up anything they think they can make a few dollars on with ebay. These guys come in with lists snatching up several copies of the highly-sought titles to hawk online for profit. Generally, and this is completely serious, the hygeine on these people is poor. They're not afraid to ask you to look up every title on the list they want, even when you tell them you've already checked and it's out of stock. Very bothersome folks.
- Bonus group: I noticed this during the last sale, we had some folks from the local game shop in there buying games to resell. Kind of torn on that one, it's kind of being an asshole to pick up multiple copies of the same thing, but on the other hand they've always treated me well and have some of the best prices in town usually.
Well it seems like the only way to get the games you want from this sale is to buy them early and price match. I picked up Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Baten Kaitos. I do not want to abuse a system, I picked up just one copy of each game for me to play.
I might try to get True Crime: Streets of L.A. for the gamecube on the sale day.

I saw "Fatwallet" in the title post here and I googled it. Man, I spent like 2.5 hours on there going through and signing up for all kinds of free stuff!

If I can find Baten Kaitos, I'm going to return the one I bought from K-Mart for $15 about over a month ago. See kids, that's why it pays to wait on playing your games...
Also, Rainbow Six 3 (no headset), Hitman 2 and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King for PS2 and Xbox are already $7.99. Hurry and look for a non-GH or non-PH copy.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
Score! A $10 Baten Kaitos for me. I'm confident my CC will have it since the last time I checked, they had 6-7 copies still in stock.
Its online now!

Damn.
No stuntman, Monster Rancher 3, dot hack outbreak, mega man anniversary, or Baten Kaitos.
I managed to get 3 games for me, and 1 for the kids, but I REALLY wanted baten kaitos and .hack outbreak

I went to grab up Ping Pals, and I seen Prince Of Persia 2 there as well for GCN that I didn't notice on the list, grabbed that up too.
Sweet! 1 game I'll never play and 1 game I can't wait to play! SCORE!
Yeah I passed on ping pals, and grabbed POP even though it wasn't on my list and I'd prefer the PS2 version.
I got beyblade GBA game for the kids, and.... Gungrave for the PS2 that I didn't notice on the list.

I made out quite well. I managed to pick up Ridge racer & viewtiful joe for my brother, and the suffering & silent hill 3 for myself. Nanobreaker was nowhere to be found, unfortunately. I was surprised how few people were there as well....just some old guy looking for Killzone (was that even on sale?) and vietcong, and a mom with her kid. I was kind of expecting a mob for some reason...

No Baten Kaitos for me either, and I went to 2 CC stores.
I did pick up Rainbow Six 3 (GC) and Manhunt (XBOX).
Not a big crowd at either store. Just one old guy who took the last Mega Man Anniversary Collection for Gamecube.

My CC had all the $9.99 games in two bins at the front of the game section.
The main one I wanted was Mega Man Collection for the cube but they didn't have any.
But I still got the following:
Xbox
Chronicles of Riddick
Project Snowblind
PS2
Eye Toy Groove
Gungrave Overdose
GC
Baten Kaitos
I'm a happy gamer!
We saved some guy's life. Killed some vicious murdering lichs and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.
Just got back from a long day of buying crap and got the following things at Circuit City.
Gamecube: Baten Kaitos
PS2: Silent Hill 3
DS: Ridge Racer DS
Junk food: Bottle of Coke
32 dollars total, kid.
Funny, I saw about seven or eight of them, almost got one, but decided to pass after recalling several lousy reviews of the game.
I was less excited about spending 10 bucks this year than 5 bucks last year, but I did want to pick up three games: Ridge Racer DS, Thief XBox, and Samurai Warriors PS2. None were there.
