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

[Deadman]

ANother week, another report. Not much going on clearance these days at Target. The only thing that I can see going lower in the near future is X Blades. It is on clearance now for $41.98, so check your targets and keep going back!

X-Blades (360) $41.98
Soul Calibur (PS3) $24.98
Resident Evil Boxed Set (Blu-Ray) 50% off at $39.98

[kupomogli]

Gamecube Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess $4.98. Also got Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker for the same price

Best game for the DS at a great price. Amazing find.

Not much going on clearance these days at Target.

Tell me about it. Neither of the two Targets I went to had anything worth reporting. However, Best Buy has started to clear out select special editions among other games. Saints Row 2, Endwar(with 360 headset), spanish edition of Halo 3($9.99) and a few others. I even snagged that Gears of War 2 preorder remote control car from them for a whopping $1.99 today. I'm sure your mileage may vary but it's something to keep in mind if you have Best Buy's near you.

Here's what I remember seeing at a Target tonight:

GBA:
Gauntlet/Rampart
Spy Hunter/Super Sprint
Pong/Asteroids/Yars' Revenge
Uno Freefall
Uno/Skip Bo
Board Game Classics
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
$6.98 each. They had 2 or 3 more budget titles at that price that I can't remember.

Wii:
Indianapolis 500 Legends - $10.98

DS:
Tony Hawk's Motion - $20.98

Also, the TV Double Pack DVD sets are on sale through April 4th. Here's what I remember seeing at $14.99 each:
King of the Hill seasons 1 & 2
In Living Color seasons 1 & 2
Addams Family Vols. 1 & 2
Remington Steele
Green Acres seasons 1 & 2
M*A*S*H seasons 1 & 2

$19.99 each:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer seasons 1 & 2

That 70s Show seasons 1 & 2

Also, I think Circuit City should be removed from the thread title since they're no longer in business.

Good point. I've been meaning to add Toys R Us anyway. Today's Target finds:

Mirror's Edge(360) $27.98
Sega Superstar Tennis(Wii) $10.48
Memory Card Adapter(PS3) $7.48

[scooterb23]

Only things I saw that don't seem to be mentioned recently were Rock Revolution for PS3, $9.98 and Hasbro Family Game Night for PS2 for $13.98 (and they are charging $10 per game on XBLA for this...and this has even more titles, what a joke).

[norkusa]

Bought some cheap PS3 games at Target yesterday:

Soul Calibur IV - $12.48
Sing Star Abba - $9.98

Too bad I don't have a PS3 yet. Guess I'll Ebay the Soul Calibur IV and use the money to buy a 360 copy. I'm keeping that Singstar though, lol.

[Mianrtcv]

The Target near me either never has stock or they just suck. I can't determine which is true, though I suspect equal parts...

[lazyhoboguy]

Wow, why has soul calibur 4 dropped in price so fast?

Target does more clearancing than any other big electronic retail store for the simple fact that they don't have enough space for all of their inventory. Thats why they are the first name in the thread. Today at Target:

Memory Card Adapter(PS3) $3.74

Now is the time to get these because I have a feeling they will be snatched up. Of course, they are kind of useless in today's market where all store bought PS3's are no longer backwards compatible. But you just know that there will always be collectors like us who buy a 60 gig PS3 late in the game and want this so we can properly play our saved PS2 game saves on. In other words, hoard them today and sell them for $20-50 in a year or two

Its actually alright since I can use mine to store PS2 Save data on the PS3 although I can't play PS2 games on there. That way I only use one PS2 Memory card.

[lazyhoboguy]

Man that is cheap I paid like 20 bucks for mine. I have a 40 gig ps3 too, just use it to back up my ps2 saves on my ps3 and then back it up again on my pc.

[Deadman]

Today at Target:

Memory Card Adapter(PS3) $3.74

My targets still have these at $7.48, so I'm waiting patiently...

[Icarus Moonsight]

The Target near me have their regular priced Wii games 14.99-49.99 B2G1 free. Anyone else have this going on?

I got caught up on the cheap.

[BzzN]

They have the b2g1 free at my target as well. Also i did see Afro Samurai for the PS3 for 41.98 which is not bad but im going to wait until it hits 29.98 if its still there.

[Neil Koch]

Nothing much of interest at my local Target - mostly a bunch of licensed kiddie stuff like Spongebob, Hannah Montana, etc.

There was some Naked Brothers Band PS2 game that had a mic for $9.98 - so if you're looking for a cheap USB mic, it might be worth picking up. I don't need one, nor to I want to have anything with the Naked Brothers in my possession, so I passed

They didn't have the B2G1 sale, but there were a good number of games on sale for $14.99. There was also a ton of Wii systems available, at least two endcaps worth, plus whatever they had in the case.

[josekortez]

Wow, why has soul calibur 4 dropped in price so fast?

It's probably only the PS3 version of Soul Calibur IV. It seems very few people in my area own a PS3 so that's usually the case with PS3 games.

However, I don't own a PS3, and I need to see if I can't trade my sealed PS3 version for the 360 version if I can.

Good luck. I remember when I found the PS3 version of The Orange Box last year on clearance for $14.98 when it was still selling everywhere else for $39.99 and up. I tried trading it on here and selling it on ebay and nobody wanted it. Like me, they all wanted the 360 version.

Or I'll trade it for something else. I've got most of the clearance Target 360 games at this point, so we'll see how it goes.

[Deadman]

Only one of my three close Target stores has any decent selection, and they aren't really dropping their prices much. None have changed in the last couple of weeks. They still have:

Soul Calibur IV (PS3) $24.98
Dark Sector (360) $13.98
Turok (360) $20.98
Blitz the League II (PS3) $20.98
Mirror's Edge (360) $27.48

I've been hoping for two weeks for SCIV and Mirrors Edge to drop one more level and I'd grab them both, but maybe they aren't in as much of a hurry any longer.

Also I did notice that they clearanced a TON of their $19.99 PS2 games down to $13.98 - too many to list here and I don't collect for the PS2 anyway, but in case you do, go check em out!
