[Edge]

Hmm, $4.99 The Hobbit...meh, for that price I guess it's worth it. I probably won't like it but hey, trade-in value, baby!

[howard]

Thanks!

[mst3k_stud]

joe schmo on dvd?!?!!?!? score!!

[AdamInPlaidum]

What you are doing is a beautiful thing for Cheapasses, trustcompany.

[Rubberlegs]

What you are doing is a beautiful thing for Cheapasses, trustcompany.

Agreed. By doing this you offer up to the chance to save in advance. Good looking out trustcompany.

[popps]

damn that was fast...

[nogard]

Another week in advanced. Thanks alot

[paean]

I predict that Driv3r will be $9.99 in less than a year! :D

[sj41]

Thanks Trust. Do you know if The Hobbit will be that much on their website?

[The Successful Dropout]

Thanks Trust. Do you know if The Hobbit will be that much on their website?

i have no idea, i dont even know why i get a compusa ad, their are none near me at all

[jeffreyjrose]

Does anyone know if The Hobbit is even worth $5? i.e. I wouldn't spend $5 for TR:AoD!

[The Successful Dropout]

im betting its a lot better then TR AoD...just a little guess

[Mishimaryu]

The Hobbit for 5 bucks? interesting.

[wubb]

Hmm, maybe I'll try PMing Hobbit at CC. Assuming it's $20 there, that'll make it $3.50

Does Best Buy do a 110% of the difference PM as well?

[Ramen_Boy]

argh, might as well get Sonic Mega Collection now

[DesertEagleXIX]

Comp USA's site has the Hottit (Xbox) for $19.99 :(

I want some 5 dollar love; anyone near a CompUSA? Please PM'me and pick me up a copy!

[Dead of Knight]

Crap this week (so far), but thank you so much for putting them up so far in advance! You are godly!

[sj41]

Comp USA's site has the Hottit (Xbox) for $19.99 :(

I want some 5 dollar love; anyone near a CompUSA? Please PM'me and pick me up a copy! It's not even that price in the store yet. :?

[Indiana]

The Sonic Collection for $15.88 looks like a deal... I guess I will be picking that one up.

[Kaijufan]

The Hobbit and Sonic Mega Collection both caught my eye.

[Dustin Echoes]

Look at the date it starts, be patient! :D

[Acid Indigestion]

hey trustcompany1013, do you know which pokemon games are for that price in the Target ad? My nephew wants a copy of the latest one, and I'd be willing to buy it for him if those are the one's on sale.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

I don't know how anyone can pass up 7 Sonic games for $15.88. If you don't think it's worth it even at that price turn in your controllers and quit gaming for life.

Now, if they'd only re-release and add on to Super Mario All Stars.

[The Successful Dropout]

hey trustcompany1013, do you know which pokemon games are for that price in the Target ad? My nephew wants a copy of the latest one, and I'd be willing to buy it for him if those are the one's on sale.

im not sure...but they're not games, they're the videos...the best i can do is try to describe the front, though they're small pictures and i dont know anything about the world of pokemon

one has 3 people on the front, 2 guys and 1 girl with orange hair (i think), one of the guys is holding his backpack on

the other one has an orange dragon thing? behind some white/red thing?

just noticed, you said you want the latest one? both of these say "available wed the 23rd"...meaning they're both the latest ones

[nneace]

SCORE!!!!! RENO 911!!!! i have been wanting this forever!

[Acid Indigestion]

Ah, those must be the movie things they're starting to sell now. It's a lame idea if you ask me. Thanks for the info.

[The Successful Dropout]

updating as you read this

[Renzokuken]

ill be waiting for it.

[The Successful Dropout]

updated....is the new format better? or should i stick with the old format next time?

[lordopus99]

i personally like the old format. it was easier to see what was on sale where.

[The Successful Dropout]

the new way is easier on me...and its easier on ppl who are just looking for stuff on one console...but ill go back to the old format if the majority liked it more

[little_krampy]

I like the new format

[seebelow]

Another vote for the new format. Thanks, trustcompany1013!

[slayer]

I liked it a lot better when you sorted the deals by store.


GC

~Free $10 Gift Card w/ any GC game $39.99 and up at CC (in store only)


Nice, here's hoping my CC has Ikaruga *crosses fingers*

[BossFight]

some decent deals there. is there any chance you may be able to post any PC hard drive deals? I'm in the market for a 120Gig Drive

thanks in advance.

[swetooth9]

i liked the old format better...but this ones fine w/ me too...

btw, how in the world do u get these ads so far ahead of time?!! :?

[Scrubking]

Thanks for the list, but next time try to make it easier to read and not bunch everything up.

[ChessPieceFace]

I'm all for the new format. I like it sectioned by system and then game, rather than by store... now there's less chance that I'll miss a good deal on a game I can play or am looking for, just because I skim over a long list from a store.

[BigBen]

I like the old format better, but I'll take the info any way I can get it :) Thanks!

[kwheaties]

Another vote for the new format.

My only suggestion would be to separate out the games and prices a little better cause it's hard to read. Maybe bullets or something else to signify a game instead of "~".

[Togepy]

~Mario Golf (avail wed)
$24.99 at BB


I'll be picking that up for $20 after GGC. Thanks.

[JEKKI]

~Mario Golf (avail wed)
$24.99 at BB


I'll be picking that up for $20 after GGC. Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing!~!!

kinda...

it was actually between Golf or Mario and DK,

but at least I got a week to decide

[The Successful Dropout]

For all of you picky bastards :wink: ...I really dont know how to make it less bunchy (on here) without taking up the whole page. Is that better?

[Arakias]

Nothing for megaman anniv collection? damn

[ElwoodCuse]

Is Mario Golf worth $20 after GGC at Best Buy?

[lordopus99]

its like a squiggly snake going down the page.

suggestion: maybe a way to keep old with new
format:
PS2
Best Buy
all titles listed
Circuit City
all titles listed
Target
all titles listed
and so on down the page
just an idea....

[tubtub]

I like the old way better, butlordopus99 makes a good point and I could live with that. Also, do you know what kind of case comes with Mario Golf at CC next week? I'm wondering if its worth paying $20 at BB or $25 at CC with a case.

[Togepy]

some decent deals there. is there any chance you may be able to post any PC hard drive deals? I'm in the market for a 120Gig Drive

thanks in advance.

I only have the Best Buy ad and they have a 120gb drive for $80 after $40 mail in rebate.

[sj41]

Does anyone know if Fry's still has Zelda for $35?

[The Successful Dropout]

we'll have to wait and see how i list it out next time...i might surprise you, or you might just have to be happy that you got a full glimpse into the future

[Mishimaryu]

not many good deals still waiting for Mario Kart DD to become a PC.

[lordopus99]

i might surprise you, or you might just have to be happy that you got a full glimpse into the future

i am glad you do. keep it the way you want.

[bickle]

Wow, Simpsons are going up to $39 next week! I guess I better pick it up this week for $29.

[andrew333]

i prefer the old format, but i vote for whatever is easiest for ya :D

[swetooth9]

how in the world do u get the ads so early?

[DisturbedZen]

I also prefer the old format and believe that would be easier on u. And it would be nice if you could highlight some of the HOT deals..

[sman113]

Put up another vote for the old format. I like to see what certain things are where. This one is too busy, and seems much harder to put together. Stick to the old way.

[trunks982]

i suggests the old format. with stores format first

[WhipSmartBanky]

Anyone have a scan of the ad? I'm interested in finding out what kind of GBASP case the CC MvDK comes with. It's the swing vote whether I spend $25 at CC or grab a GGC and get it for $20 at BB.

[The Successful Dropout]

it doesnt show a picture of the case, nor does it show the price value...sorry

[popps]

old format....as for the guy looking for the 120 hd, frys has a maxtor 120 hd for 69.99 with no rebate...if you can get the ad, try pm at bb

[WhipSmartBanky]

Thanks, TC...guess I'll just have to wing it and go by there next week and see for myself.

[JAMMR]

Are there deals going on for wireless routers and wireless cards at Best Buy? Or any others for that matter...

[pete5883]

I like the new format. Oh baby can't wait for Mario Golf. After GGC it's an excellent price for what will hopefully be an excellent sequel :)

[craven_fiend]

old format better.

does bb price match previous purchases with 110%? cuz i got mario vs dk for 29.99?

[guardian_owl]

I like the old format better, easier for me to read since not all the stores you supply are in my area.

Alright, Vice city, been wanting to pick that up for awhile now and lost skeleton of cadavera.

[cusm]

Can you post any offers for LCD or DLP TVs? Or if there is any generic 10% off-type sale on tvs?

[wampa8jedi]

I'll be getting Mario Golf Advance for $20 (after GGC)...

[DigitalSpace]

Hmm... tough call between Bad Santa and Reno 911.

trustcompany1013, thanks for yet another informative post of the upcoming ads.

[edallasplanet]

Thanks for posting these! I look foward to them every week. I also prefer the old version though

[TC]

trustcompany1013, Great job on the list!

[Alien Spider]

Nothing for me this week, as I already have the Sonic Mega Collection. Many thanks though trust.

And the format, do it however you please. You're doing us the favor. People will just have to get over that and accept it. :)

[bjkrautk]

I like the new format....but I can't say I had that much of a problem with the old one, either.

Is Mario Golf going to be worth the $20 (I have the GBC version....the new one doesn't look all that different, IMO)?

[wubb]

Can anyone confirm the Hobbit for $5? I didn't get a CompUSA ad this week and the Web site still shows
$20, although they might be slow to update.

I'll check at the store myself today, too, probably.

im not sure if you or anyone else on here knows this or not...but it really pisses me off when people have to second guess what i post as the weekly deals....i have the ads right in front of me when im posting them and my eyes are of 20/20 vision...not to mention, you act like its impossible for the hobbit to be $5...this game was $20 almost a week after launch...i could see if i posted that psi ops or riddick is $5, then you can think about second guessing my post...still...dont do it...thanks

[guyver2077]

might pick up driver with $10 gift card. game looks awesome....

Didn't mean to cheese you off, I just didn't want to waste a trip over there if this ad didn't take effect until next week or something. Just that early this morning the website said 'no weekly ads' when I clicked that link and the game still showed as $20. Nobody is perfect and I was just wondering if somebody else actually got the ad in their paper and could confirm.

But when I went to the store they had a stack of the ads there. Don't know why I didn't get a CompUSA ad in the paper, seems like they aren't included from time to time for some reason. Game actually rang up at $20, but I showed the guy the ad and he adjusted it down to $5. So if you head over keep in mind you might have to show them the ad.

Their site still says there are no in-store specials this week when you click on the link. Pretty poor. (I was just there and there are quite a few sales going on.)

[guardian_owl]

FYI the DVD of Lost Skeleton of Cadavera is $15.99 at Best Buy, not $16.99, according to my ad at least.

[The Successful Dropout]

wubb...its ok...but just to let you know, i am perfect :twisted:



FYI the DVD of Lost Skeleton of Cadavera is $15.99 at Best Buy, not $16.99, according to my ad at least.

fyi, its $16.99 in my ad, i just rechecked (forgetting that i was perfect)...and its $16.99

[Romeo]

Reno 9/11 is not $16.99, it's $17.99 at BB.

[dragonfireflys]

Does anyone know if The Hobbit is even worth $5? i.e. I wouldn't spend $5 for TR:AoD!

I bought it, brought it back to walmart without a receipt and got 21.21 in credit, went and got dungeons and dragons heroes for xbox...

Dungeons for 4.99...that's a good deal.

[The Successful Dropout]

Reno 9/11 is not $16.99, it's $17.99 at BB.

reno 911 is $16.99...you people must be damn near retarded

[DesertEagleXIX]

Is there anyway someone can scan the CompUSA ad for me? I order on-line for store pick-up, but the idiots sold my copy.

My paper doesn't have the ad, either.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Reno 9/11 is not $16.99, it's $17.99 at BB.

reno 911 is $16.99...you people must be damn near retarded

Are you talking about in-store? Because...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1358054&skuId=6565861&type=product

yeah.

[judyjudyjudy]

Reno 911 is listed on Outpost.com as 14.99, but shipping kills the deal. However, Fry's Electronics usually has similar prices, so I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be advertised at the same price when it comes out...

Plus there's always deepdiscountdvd...

it seems like some of you people just live to irritate those that feed you

[beerguy961]

I'm getting Donnie Darko this week, and everybody else should get High Fidelity. It's a great movie at a great price (I'm tempted to get another copy because my brother left my copy in Seattle at his apartment (along with my Season 3 of Simpsons))...

I went to CompUSA and they had the Hobbit (xbx) but it scans $20 will not honor $5 because they have no knowledge of the sale. When I asked them for the weekly ad they said they never got one for this week. I asked how come but the girl I talked to had no idea why they didn't get the ad. This sounds a bit suspect. Not even their website has the weekly ad. I have no proof that the game is on sale. I think maybe they fouled up something (like Hobbit $5) and decided to pull off the ads. If anyone has any information that can help me nail that sucker for $5 will be greatly appreciated :o

[DesertEagleXIX]

I had the same problem. Two Comp USA stores near me have no ad. I called corporate, and they don't have an ad for this week either.

Until I see a scan, I can't beleive this deal.

[BABETOOTH]

"Trustcompany" I dont want you to think that we are questioning the fact that you posses a copy of the CompUsa ad but we are trying to find out why corporate denies having an ad for the week?

If anyone knows please share your findings with the rest of us. Thanks!!!

[Dustin Echoes]

It was definately in the ad I recieved, and when I went to go pick it up there was a gentleman who was placing a sign by the game that said "As Advertised - The Hobbit Xbox 4.99". So perhaps this deal is regional?

[The Successful Dropout]

maybe its regional...i live near baltimore md...someone send me a dollar for my time and ill send them the ad ;o)

[Benaorn]

http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=478

[The Successful Dropout]

thanks benaorn

[BABETOOTH]

maybe its regional...i live near baltimore md...someone send me a dollar for my time and ill send them the ad ;o)

I am in NYC so that might explain everything. Thanks guys for your help!!! :( :( (no Hobbit for me) :( :(

[Redeema]

consider yourself lucky the hobbit is a drag of a game and it's long, about 2 hours to long, there's no payoff for all the treasure hunting you do in the earlier levels as you can do it all at the very last stage and get along just fine.

[Romeo]

Reno 9/11 is not $16.99, it's $17.99 at BB.

reno 911 is $16.99...you people must be damn near retarded

Sorry bud, but don't try to disrepect me. I don't know what kind of fake ad you have child, but I have my ad from my newspaper which I can scan, and it's $17.99.

[sj41]

It's Tuesday. Get those ads up here, quick. :D

[Mishimaryu]

hmm some good movie deals this week must build up movie collection..

[BABETOOTH]

Guys, went back to CompUsa and nothing has changed, however I discovered some GBA games on clearance. Dont know if they are a good deal but will list anyway. My son (7yrs) has a GBA SP, wonder if I should get him any of these...

Activision's 2600 Atari Collection $7.88
Razor scooter (something) $7.88
Earthworm Jim $7.88
Gadget Racers $8.88
Ultimate Muscle $12.88
Black Thorne $12.88
SSX3 $12.88

also Godzilla DAMM $10 for Gamecube (1 copy)
Remember that these prices might be very YMMV !!!

[JEKKI]

no one saw the free GBA case at CC yet? aw....

Im about to head in that direction, if I see something Ill report (dont feel like buying anything tho, not anymore)

[dracula]

Does anyone know if The Hobbit is even worth $5? i.e. I wouldn't spend $5 for TR:AoD!

I bought it, brought it back to walmart without a receipt and got 21.21 in credit, went and got dungeons and dragons heroes for xbox...

Dungeons for 4.99...that's a good deal.

dude, no offense but if enough crooks abuse return policies without receipts, then eventually the stores will stop offering this service.

I will check my software etc tomorrow for the weekly ad, I hope they have one and it didnt get pulled.

[lordopus99]

at Walmart you only get 3 returns within a 6 month period. when he legitally need to take something back without receipt he wont be able to if he does this too often.

[Requiem]

How do they let you return something with no receipt? I'm worried that when I walk into a store with a video game with no receipt they'll accuse me of shoplifting or lying about buying the game or something.

Do you carry it in a Walmart bag?
