Circuit City Clearance Again -- $8.96 SALE

I heard about this earlier, and when I went there yesterday they didn't even have any games on sale for that price. They had the display up, but no games were in it. I highly doubt that they sold out of everything (even the crappy ones) that fast, and I just believe that they are really slow. I'll try to check again sometime soon, though.

EDIT: I called the store to see if they had them for sale yet, and he told me that they aren't going to do it until either Monday or Tuesday. My sister also told me that some people on Gamefags (like they are the trustworthy type) said that this isn't supposed to start until July 4. Considering most stores seem to be starting way earlier than that though, I highly doubt that's right.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You have to dig through the games and find the ones on the list, then when you check out, just make sure they're ringing up for 8.96. They will.

Thanks for telling me that! I went back there today, and rounded up as many of the games that I even remotely wanted that I could find (so no one else could get them, as a lot of them were the last copy of the game). After I did that, I looked at all of them and decided which ones I really actually wanted, as I didn't want to spend too much.

In the end, I only left with five games, with only two of them being ones I really, really wanted (Wild Arms 4, which they had a lot of, and Karaoke Revolution Volume 3, which they only had one copy left of). As for the other games I got (Indigo Prophecy, Polarium, and The Urbz for DS), I never had any specifc plans on getting, but figured I would since they were cheap.

There were some other games I would have got for sure if they had them (like Kirby and DW5), but I didn't feel it was any big loss that I didn't get them. Since it was a clearance, I doubt they'll be getting any more of them in, but I still may check later in the week just to make sure (they may have had some more, but just didn't have the shelf space for them, as most of the shelves were pretty packed, especially in the GBA section).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My Circuit City has been selling that game for $7.99 for like the last two or three months, so putting it on the list would have actually raised the price.

I went to another Circuit City today (we have like four or five of them in town, but only two of them are ones that I actually go to), and I managed to find a copy of Dig Dug DS. Dig Dug was one of the two DS games that I actually wanted to get, so I was satisfied with that (I couldn't find the other I wanted though, which was Lunar DS).

I then went back to the other Circuit City to see if they still had that copy of DK: King of Swing, which I had seen yesterday but didn't actually realize it was on the list until today. Of course they didn't have it, but I did manage to find a few copies of Mario Golf Advance Tour buried behind some crappy Disney games. They only had two left, so I promptly picked one up.

That'll probably be it for me. The only games I didn't manage to get that I actually wanted were Dynasty Warriors 5, Lunar Dragon Song, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, so that's not too bad, especially comparing that to what I did get.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So did you get the version with that comes with the Eyetoy? My CC had that one, but I figured the sale only accounted for the one without it, so I didn't bother. The same thing with Karaoke Revolution Volume 3: I figured it would only count for the one without the microphone, so I didn't bother to get the one with it (even though they had both). I guess I should have just asked, but meh.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, I doubt they have any left anyway now, and even if they did I'm pretty broke from all the other games I bought. Crisis would have been pretty nice though, cause even though I already have the game, I could use another Guncon. I may just go just to check anyway.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I went there three days in a row, and while they only had about one or two left the first two days, they didn't have any left on the third. I might see if they have any on July 4th or whenever, but I don't want the game bad enough to leep checking everyday until then.

And yeah, the employees don't seem to know anything. Everytime I bought something from the list, the cashier had a surprised look on their face, like they didn't even know they were having a clearance. You would think they would be informed about these things.
