Only found one I was looking for- Paper Mario 2.
Only found one I was looking for- Paper Mario 2.
First off, for everyone complaining that they didn't have all of these games in stock... IT WAS A CLEARANCE SALE! One where they DUMP old stock to make way for new. Not a sale where they try to make all of the gamers in the world happy by losing a ton of money on a bunch of games. I can guarantee they aren't making any money selling you something for a dollar.
Secondly, about the prices not always matching -- it was a list made by employees. It wasn't published before yesterday. It wasn't part of the newspaper ad. It was posted on internet Web sites when they found out but sales can and do change. Perhaps there were certain games Best Buy figured they wouldn't discount that low yet. It isn't like the stores have to go off a list that was posted a few days ago online.
As for me, I picked up a few things online. I wish I would've gotten Excitebike, Final Fantasy I & II, Zoo Keeper and Mr. Driller, but I didn't. I only did the online thing. Still, I picked up Hold 'Em for the GBA, Mech Assault 2: LE (which I've wanted for a long time) for the Xbox and Intellivision Lives for the GameCube (second copy of that game). I feel more than happy that I got those three.
If anyone has extras of the above four titles and wants to part with them for only slightly more than you paid, PM me!

@pacmanhat: Where'd you pick up the Eyetoy?
(I didnt go out)

Anybody grab a Growlanser they'd be willing to part with?
bigdaddychester and I hit up our local Best Buy - we didn't have much luck either - it was pretty well cleaned out, plus there were some other guys there scooping up stuff while we were looking, so that kinda blew the air out of it too. At least we had about a 20 minute jump on them, so they didn't get everything.
Anyway, I picked up 3 titles - I wouldn't mind keeping them, so I paid $9.99 each (they wouldn't give 'em to us for $4.99 even though we had the lists with us), but I really got them because I thought someone else might want 'em. No big deal either way - they're all pretty common around here.
GBA - Astro Boy
DS - Mr. Driller Drill Spirits
PS2 - Sega Superstars (Eye Toy - no camera)
Since they were $10 a pop, how about $15 shipped a piece. Covers the price + couple a bucks for shipping + a buck or two for my trouble.
Shoot me a PM.

Did they do a price check from a computer or the handheld scanners? Any price changes should go through the system, but they have to manually change it for the handheld ones. If nothing else, you could have them check the price at their own web site, to prove them wrong. Sorry they screwed you out like that though.Originally Posted by donkeykong1

Hmmm I doubt anything good is left but I shall check anyways. :: sigh ::
I didn't get shit. The only thing I got at the 2 Best Buys I went to was 2 copies of Future Tactics for $.99There was a lot of shit I wanted to get to but I guess that's how it goes. Any of you guys want to hook a brother up?
My Game Collection, Doubles Are For Sale: http://www.rfgeneration.com. User name is Shaggy. I will entertain any other reasonable offer.
Sweet...I faired quite well.
I ended up visiting the "mile high city" out in the middle of nowhere and found nearly everything I wanted. GEEZ, that store is like a crackerbox. The latin section at my store is bigger than their whole cd section. Anyhow, I got:
Nintendo DS - Mr. Driller
Nintendo DS - Zoo Keeper
Playstation 2 - Growlanser Generations
Yay! It sure did help looking everything up on RSS last night ;D. They had about 3 more copies of each, but didn't want to rack up anything more on the card. If anyone has a paper mario 2 or Ys for trade, I might be willing to travel back there this weekend, but I only want to do trades, otherwise it's too far. I'll take the two aforementioned BB sale games, or any genesis/sega cd games to help me complete those systems.

Where the hell do you mean ?
I would love a copy of Growlanser and Zoo Keeper

I went back into the same store I had gone into yesterday morning and bought these:
Magic The Gathering: Battlegrounds (XB)
Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits (DS)
Silent Hill 4: The Room (PS2) - 2 copies
True Crime (GC)
It's funny how the two Silent Hill 4s were hidden behind some crap budget game, and I hadn't thought to look there that morning...
Magic The Gathering, Mr. Driller and one of the Silent Hill 4s is up for trade. They are also being offered to the CAGs as we speak! Let the PMs begin, and I'm taking reasonable trades only.
Also, while I'm at it, throw in my sealed copies of Mechassault 2: Lone Wolf (non-limited ed., XB), Hitman: Contracts (non PH, XB) and Gladius (GC) for trade here too.
I'm specifically looking for Final Fantasy I & II (GBA), Y's (PS2), Growlanser (PS2), Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (GBA) and Sega Superstars (PS2), although I will consider other titles that I don't own.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
I got nothing.
When i asked an employee about it he said that it was all left over stock from Xmas and that it had all already been moved from that location.
I ended up hanging out with some friends for the rest of the night though so the trip wasn't a waste afterall
I was only looking for Nintendo stuff at my BB, and all I found was the GC Intellivision Lives! I wanted GBA Monopoly also, but it was still 14.99. They had quite a few of the games listed here, but the separator cards were blank (Monopoly included). Maybe they're getting ready to mark them down? I'll check again next week.
Thanks for the heads up, by the way.

what a scam
even online -- i had ordered 6 games (they suposedly had instock ) and am going to recive only 2
i have to get on to that cheapass gamer mailling list
The human operates out of complex superiority demands, self -affirming through ritual, insiting upon a rational need to learn, striving for self-imposed goals, manipulating his environment while he denies his own adaptive abilities, never fully satisfied.
--Frank Herbert
do you know if this includes canada or what i'd be interested in a lot of games like Growlanser Generations for sure i wanted this game since it came out but did not want to pay retail price
We'll I got my games today from bestbuy.com. Everything came as ordered (Goldeneye Rogue Agent [GCN]; Intellivision Lives! [GCN]; and Mechassault 2 Lone Wolf [XBX]). However, the Mechassault 2 was just the standard version, not limited edition as pictured and displayed on the website. Bastages!
What's the difference with MechAssault? I literally only went for the game because it was the LE version and if I get it and it isn't, I think I'll be returning it...
I've heard its a great game, but I can get it used for the same price, and LE packaging always interests me a lot more as long as I can find it cheaply.

LE has a bonus disc with extra missions and DVD content.
