ANYHOW, This sale started on Thursday (6/22), I believe, so you might not be able to find any of the listed games. I didn't have any trouble with finding what I wanted today, though.

Basically just print out the list and start hunting through the game aisles at your local Circuit City stores.

Good luck, and feel free to ask any questions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Too bad there's nothing good on that list.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Funny, but there are quite a few gems.

Wild Arms 4
We Love Katamari
The Warriors
Ultimate Spiderman
Mercenaries
Gun

etc...

There are quite a few good picks.

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

Ooh, this seems nice. Lucky me I haven't used my gift card yet.

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

I managed to snag 8-9 titles from this sale, mostly hoping to trade for others I could not find. I can't believe I didn't check for Halo Triple Pack :\ Feels quite ridiculous getting these games stickered at $30+ for $9.

FF IV Advance got bumped up to full price again sometime today. Was probably a mistake to be discounted originally.

After 2 trips to CC and trading I managed to get:
Radiata Stories
Xenosaga II
Tales of Phantasia
Metroid Prime Pinball
Wild Arms 4
Pokemon Sapphire
Trace Memory
FFIV Advance
We <3 Katamari

for 8.96 apiece. Christmas in June

I was speaking idiomatically.

I hear Curse of Darkness is pretty good as well. Plus Metal Slug 4 & 5, and the Halo triple pack. That's really all I'm looking for. Hopefully there will be something left by the time I get there.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ok, i have expressed interest in Wild Arms 4, and Ultimate Spiderman in the past. I actually didn't see those two the first time 'round. At any rate, i've never seen a circuit city in Winnipeg.

I've only played WA 1 and 2. Is four worth it?

FELIPE NO

As far as I know we don't have them in Manitoba at all, and possibly not in the entire country.

We lose out on a LOT of deals like this.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Too bad there's no circuit city stores around. Do they even any in Canada (and more specifically in Québec..) ?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Circuit City doesn't exist in Canada. However, they do own a tiny store called The Source, which replaced the Canadian Radioshacks ages ago.

And Dear God, these better not be all sold out by the time I get to visit some of these stores (I'm Canadian as well, so I'm shit outta luck )

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haha, $9 for Dig Dug DS. That's due out here in October for $60 US. There's quite a few awesome games on this list, everyone needs to consume Indigo Prophecy. Everyone! Eat! Go go!

Most amazing jew boots

Advance Wars and Meteos DS for $9 each? Damn, sometimes I wish I lived in america.

I picked up a ton of games from this sale, and I'm still planning to buy more. Not only that, but I'm trading the Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows I got for Radiata Stories, which is the game I wanted most anyway.

I got:
Lunar DS
DBZ: Supersonic Warriors 2
Wild Arms 4
Indigo Prophecy
Castlevania: COD
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
The Warriors
Tales of Phantasia
Final Fantasy IV Advance
We Love Katamari

A much better haul than what I got from the $5 sale a few years ago, so I'm pretty pleased.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How long is this sale going on for? Goddamn I wish I knew of this sooner!

Most amazing jew boots

Unfortunately, all the good games usually run out on the first day here. =(

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Why do you US folks always get all the awesome sales? I mean, I've NEVER seen any such sales here in Canada where brand new games are like, $5. That sucks. It sucks even more to know that there's lots of GBA games that I actually want in the list. Sometimes I wish I lived in the US.

Am I just unlucky?

Just because they say the sale isn't starting until "whenever" and just because the games don't have a label of $8.96 doesn't mean that they won't ring up for that price.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, no luck on my end. All three games I was looking for were gone from the shelves, and there was nothing in the $8.96 bin. I guess they sold out that fast, but then I also saw a few copies of clearance games on the shelves, so I don't know what the hell they're doing.

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

Just letting people know, though it wasn't on the list, it's confirmed that Exit (PSP) is also included in this sale now.

How ya doing, buddy?

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).

I read it. Skipped Xbox and PSP though cause i don't own either of those and don't plan to.

I didn't see anything of interest on that list until Jazz pointed out Ultimate Spiderman and Wild Arms 4, which i must've missed the first time.

Also, i own Advance Wars DS already, and was rather disappointed by Meteos.

This morning I read this, and I thought "Yeah, ok, this guy has no taste. Fair enough, it happens" but after some thinking, why the hell don't you like Meteos? It's like a puzzle game which isn't boring. Do you know how fucking rare that is?

This should be good.

How ya doing, buddy?

Circuit City - YOU NEED TO OPEN A STORE IN MY STATE, ARGHHHHH!!! :aargh:

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I went yesterday mainly in hopes to find a copy of Meteos with a secondary interest in some of the PS2 titles, We Love Katamari, Radiata Stories.

There was nothing for cheap but Second Sight which, funny enough, isn't even on the list. Everything else was gone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
