Circuit City Clearance Again -- $8.96 SALE

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I got Indigo Prophecy for the XB, Dr. Mario & Puzzle League for myself then I bought my girlfriend Batman Begins for the GCN and Harvest Moon for the GBA.

I was compteplating getting Half-Life 2 for the XB. I don't have a PC, would it be worth it or just hold off until I get a PC? I want to get a Mactel, which can run PC games, and I have heard good things of HL2 for the XB.

New chain (or old chain bought out by a new chain, anyway), same grossly inflated prices as ever. I paid less for the (much better) USB adapter I bought online than I would have paid at The Source. And that's INCLUDING shipping. Go figure.

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

My Circuit City didn't have much in terms of the fact that they didn't have much on display.

They had an Xbox Clearance display which was thoroughly raped as was the GBA rack. PSP and PS2 was absent however which was depressing...at first.

As I was looking through the normal priced PS2 games I found many of the games on the clearance list still for sale at $29.99 and what not. The only game I really wanted from the list was Radiata Stories and I found it for $29.99. Now I've done the clearance thing before and I remember that Circuit City tends to not mark some of their items down for the clearance when the game is indeed on the list.

So I walked to the register and woohoo $8.96. Bought it and now I'm happy. I may go back to check out a few more games (since I only checked for Radiata Stories specifically).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I went to CC today and I swear every game on that list wasn't there! I wanted to get Polarium, Wario Ware and We Love Katamari. Then I got upset that they have two copies of WarioWare Touched!... because I didn't have enough money. So I left and bought dinner instead.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So if you were to get the games you wanted, you would've starved? Tough call.

FELIPE NO

I swear to God.

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

Yeah, just in case somebody didn't figure it out, these games will not be separated from the others yet, nor will they be pricetagged at $8.96, but they will ring up that price.

Not only that, but many stores are pulling the games from their shelves, since this is supposed to be a July 4th sale, so if there aren't any of these games at all, I'd bet that it's been pulled.

It's actually more I got take-out. I could had cook up something but felt lazy to do so yesterday.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Thank you to the thread starter for passing along this information. I went to the nearest CC here in Miami and got their last copy of Indigo Prophecy for PS2. So far it been well worth the money, so the game come strongly recommended. Wish I had more money to spend on this, I had to decide between the game and lunch that day, bah I need to slim down anyway.

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

Well, I bought the Eyetoy for PS2, Far Cry Instincts and Hulk for Xbox, AND bought me some savory In & Out for dinner. SUCK ON THAT!!!!! AYAYAYAAYAYAY! :P

The hunt continues, however, for Advance Wars DS! I MUST FIND IT.

On a negative note, when I tried to get Final Fantasy IV for GBA, it rang up as $20, and it's supposedly on that list. Bummer.

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 was speaking idiomatically.

It's at times like these that I wish I had Circuit City here in Montreal. I would love to have Wild Arms 4 for so cheap. I think I'll just ask one of my US GFF friends to mail it to me.

Yep, it's the version with the Eyetoy. Don't be afraid to go up to an employee and just ask for a price check. That's what I did.

I hope the sale applies to the Guncon bundle of Crisis Zone, for that would rock. As well as any of the listed DDR/Karaoke games. *hunthunthunts*

FELIPE NO

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.

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

Well, I went back to Circuit City today (my friend decided to buy a DS Lite) and all the games on the list were no longer on the shelves. I doubt they were all sold so they were probably taken down in relation to the sale being on the fourth of July (or whatever).

Either way, I'll probably check my CC every so often to try and get one or two more games. I would like to get my hands on Crisis Zone actually.

How ya doing, buddy?

My brother picked up Castlevania, Sigma Star Saga, Wild Arms 4 (and 3, though not one of those games, was only $13), and 2 copies of Guilty Gear DS (just for multiplayer purposes). Unfortunately, Radiata Stories wasn't there, so I guess I'll just have to get it some other time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think Circuit City is still having a clearance or atleast a sale because they are selling a few comps for relatively low price....so I think there still might be a clearance going on....and hey ryuu, is omnislash still getting a ds lite because I think there were still some good games for it at Best Buy - but no clearance...so I'd say Circuit City is the way to go!!!

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

This should be good.

I found Meteos to be a little straight forward, and not much to it. My friend asked for it back after about a week. Maybe i didn't get a good enough impression of the game, but from what i saw, it didn't entertain me.

That's usually the effect it has. You're not highly impressed by it, but when you actually get some 1-on-1 time with it, you realize it's pretty damn good. Happened with me also.

At the CC near my home, my 'rents scoped it out but found they were all normal priced. They have been alerted however and will be checking on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of July. THanks for the heads up on it all...

How ya doing, buddy?

The CC I went to had plenty to go around, as if they just got a shipment that day. Don't be afraid to look.

And I'm with the others that think they're "hiding" some games until the 4th. The first day I went to check the sale, I asked two employees if it was currently happening and they said 'Not until July 4th', but it was only until I got a price check on one of the games that I realized either they didn't know shit or they were lying.

FELIPE NO

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.

Most amazing jew boots

Looks like CC won't be listing any titles in their ad for the 4th, so don't expect to price match any of these games.

It seems those of us who are not clamoring, soulless ghouls when it comes to saving money are shit out of luck.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't suppose someone over in america could get me a copy of Advance Wars for $9? I really don't want to end up paying $40 over here for the exact same thing. It's an essential requirement in my DS collection though.

These are US dollars, by the way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
