HUGE Best Buy game sale, starts Monday 9-12

[ty896]

The 2 BBs I visited (Crestwood, IL about 11:30 & darien IL about 1pm) had no real sale. Crestwood had nothing and Darien had a about 10 GBA titles for $9.99 & 14.99.

I picked up Texas Hold'em & Monopoly just to not go away empty handed. Glad both stores were on today's route and I didn't make any special trips.

Yeah, the only game my BB had was GTA for GBA, and I wanted it, but they asked for my ID. On an M rated GBA game. Ugh.

They carded me when I bought my copy too. Notably, it's only the second time I've been ever been carded for a game purchase (the other time was when I bought Bloodrayne for GCN at a GameStop last year).

Triple post - sorry about that!

The Best Buy near my house had nothing. It's what I expected, damn...

[dan2357]

The one I stopped at this morining had nothing either. While I was looking I saw 2 other people there with lists also. I saw Rainbow6 3 but it scanned at $19.99 so I put it back and just gave up. Then again, whenever I go to Best Buy to buy a game its never in stock anyway so I wasn't expecting much.

Skipped out on work for an hour this morning so I could be there when the store opened. Could've gotten fired if I had been caught but it was worth it (something similar happened to a guy I know that works for my company):

Astro Boy (GBA) - $10
Bloodrayne (XB) - $10
Grand Theft Auto (GBA) - $10
Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds (XB) - $5
Mechassault 2: Limited Ed. (XB) - $10

The Paper Mario I saw there yesterday must have been scooped up by an employee. They also had tons of True Crime (GC) this morning, so I'll probably go back before close tonight.

I'll be able to return my non-limited Mechassault 2 to K-Mart now...

[esquire]

Well, I checked out one last BB on the way home. Zilch. However, I made my own sale using the $5 off coupon on any PS2 or PSP game. The coupons are linked from this thread over at CAG. You have to be registered to view it.

CHEAP ASS GAMER BEST BUY COUPON THREAD

Terminator 3 ROTM $9.99 - $5 = $4.99
X-Men Legends $19.99 - $5 = $14.99

Also, for those of you who didn't score anything, you might want to try Toys 'R Us. The clearance sale is up to 50% right now, and they have a lot at teh stores near me. most of the games will go down to $9.99, which isn't bad depending on the titles. I picked up:

Demon Stone (PS2) $9.99
Mario Golf Advance Tour (GBA) $17.49

I just got back from a local Best Buy here in Phoenix and came away with two Mr. Driller Drill Spirits (NDS) for $9.99 each.

They had no Zoo Keeper's though. The only other game that I was really looking for that they didn't have was Excitibike (GBA). Oh well, I'm a happy camper! Thanks to whoever got this list up (and of course, the organizer of the list!)

Hey philo, did you pick those up at paradise valley by any chance? I remember seeing they had 2 copies. Might you be interested in hooking a local friend up ;D? That would save me a hell of a lot of gas for one of the only games I want.

I went to a Best Buy at Thunderbird and I-17 area. I actually already have the other Mr. Driller on ebay...thought I might be able to turn it around for a little profit, making the Driller game I bought for myself even cheaper.

That's right...it was Tbird, not PV. It's all good about the game ;D. I'll just check around the system on thursady, see who has what and if the prices still apply and maybe Friday I'll head out. Congrats on the find.

I have zero free time tomorrow (I have to run by the post office before school, then it's school, then work till 10pm). Knowing this town, the ravens will have descended and picked it clean by that time. What I'm getting to is this:

If anyone can pick up Mr. Driller and Zoo Keeper (both NDS) I'll gladly pay $25 shipped for them. I don't have a DS yet, but I'd like to eventually own both games and this looks like a good way to do so. If you can hook me up, let me know, but it will be Thursday/Friday before I can send out payment. Also, I can work out a trade if that would suit you better. If you can get one but not the other, that's fine too. Thanks!

I can check tomorrow or Wednesday to see if the Anderson or Greenville store has these. I was able to get Paper Mario 2, Astro Boy, and Ys at Anderson. The weird thing is, their system claimed they have 4 copies of MGS Twin Snakes, but it was nowhere to be found in the store.

Hey wait, you're from SC, right? We need to talk. I'll be on the lookout for you

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

Bah, headed out bright and early in hopes of finding some good stuff, but they had nothing I needed.

[alec006]

Well that was fun,Got some good games thou

Strange, I never get carded although I look much younger.

Me and my girlfriend checked out 2 more BB's tonight. At one I found Spyro Tail for XBOX - 9.99 and Mr. Driller for the DS - 9.99.

At the other one I got TMNT 2 for the Gamecube - 9.99. Not to bad I guess, I really like the Mr. Driller for 9.99! Almost bought that game the other night for 29.99, damn Im glad I waited. Usually I find nothing at these special sales, not a damn thing. This time I lucked out though and found 8 games total.

[captain nintendo]

Picked up the following :

Nintendo DS
Mr Driller - 9.99

GBA
Final Fantasy 1/2 Dawn of Souls - 9.99
Zelda link to the past , Four Swords - 9.99 (they didnt charge me for this so I acyually got it free )
Shaman King - 4.99

PS2
Rocky - .99 (what the hell.... for 99 cents I will buy almost any next gen game)


Xbox
Mortal Kombat Deception - 9.99
Yager - .99 (see above statement about 99 cent game)
Catwoman - .99 (ditto)

There were several copies of some of these games , but I didnt want to "hog" them. I did buy an extra copy of each of the Xbox games for my friend tynstar (Scott)

P.S.

Hellvin: There was one copy of Mr. Driller left at the Bell Rd. and Grand Ave. Store (In the target shopping center)

[donkeykong1]

Does this not include the city of Burbank in California. i happened to find a few of the games on the list (3 or 4) but when I went to get a price check, they rang up at regular price. I asked for a manager and they told me there wasn't one. They then sent me to customer service and they couldn't do shit for me. I just left the games. This sucks ass. I was gonna buy Texas Holdem for GBA and MLB Baseball 2K and Rocky, both for PS2. There were others I wasn't interested in though.

Thanks cap, I actually had that one on my list ;D. I'm gonna hit PV and Surprise tomorrow for all the games I want. PV supposedly has three I want, and I looked up mr driller tonight and saw that only that store, north scottsdale and prescott have mr driller left.

Hopefully if I'm there at opening I can get everything I want. I may go to N. Scottsdale instead since it's closer to Paradise Valley.

The only games I kinda wanted that NO ONE in the whole district had were:

Gamecube - Paper Mario 2
Gameboy Advance - Excitebike
Playstation 2 - Ys

Oh well...if all plays well tomorrow, I should have 5 cheap games.

[unbroken]

this sale sucked at my BB, i did'nt see a single game that was on the list.

[pacmanhat]

Made a couple more stops and did much better...

Eye Toy (PS2) - $10
Zoo Keeper (DS) - $10
Metal Arms (XBX) - $10
MtG: Battlegrounds - $5
Grand Theft Auto - $10

I'm pleased.
