CompUSA Red Star Inventory Blowout B&M YMMV

[happyorangeman]

Just one left in NJ...that's ok. At least I can get some good deals on some PC Ram now...hopefully. Also I agree that their Service is horrid. They are lazy employee's with no experience and bad attitude's. Well the ones I ran into were anyway.

[Nemo_Hyde]

Yeah. Lucky me. The onlu CompUSA left in NJ is in my town.

[ThatDamnDave]

All of central Ohio's are closing. THat's kind of a shame, given that I stroll in there from time to time. On a side note, Ridge Racer 6 is down to $15 at mine. Any idea when these clearances are going to start up?

I'm pretty sure it will be tagged 59.99 and the discounts will start all over again... right? That is what these companies do.

[Xerxes]

Is a $129.99 PSP really a deal?

[PaleGreen]

Is a $129.99 PSP really a deal?

Yes, I consider that a deal. Verified? That's a solid discount from $199, particularly right out of the gate. Maybe they're swimming in them.

[Thomas96]

my store had a location free player(2) for 89.98

[mykee98]

You probably already know this but the CompUSA in Mesquite is being closed down soon, i don't have any dates.. yet.

I'm going to drive by the one that was on precint line road in hurst today at lunch to see if its still open. It was there last month I know for sure.

[Hoffgod]

My local one is closing. Hope its still open and has some good deals when I go on spring break next week...

[Xerxes]

Yes, I consider that a deal. Verified? That's a solid discount from $199, particularly right out of the gate. Maybe they're swimming in them.

I just looked on the blowout site and three store near me say they have 2 each for that price...

[FrankieFiero]

I just went by my local CompUSA at lunch - they had clearance signs up (along with 'we no longer accept cheques' signs). Unfortunately, everything is still regular price. The one guy I talked to said they had no information on what will be happening, but he assumed that they would start with a 5% off sale.

Doesn't look like there'll be any good deals there for a couple weeks.

[epobirs]

Hmmm, none of the LA County stores appear in the Store Locator anymore...

[Pookymeister]

Stopped by my local (not on store locator ) and there was no sign whatsoever that anything was going on.

[shrike4242]

Fixed. :D

[PaleGreen]

Man, the stores within reasonable distance of me have nada! We're talking total crap like "Asheron's Call 2 Strategy Guides". :cry:

[PyroGamer]

Is this still going on?

I don't see any "view this store's blowout items" link.

i was at both the dublin and easton ones today- they both said the stores were slated to be closed up 90 days from now, and the sawmill store told me they begin liquidation sales there in 2 weeks.

as for current deals, it's a crapshoot- the pushware bins in each are labeled way off what the actual prices are (but fortunately for the better!)- Gun was labeld $10, and it rang up for $5; Tony Hawk's Underground was labeled $10, and rang up for $3; and my favorite CAG deal of the day- Tony Hawk's American Wasteland was red star stickered for $9.98, but it only rang up for $0.98 (!). that's no typo- 98 cents!

[PyroGamer]

Apparently my store isn't closing. I suppose that's a good thing, though I wouldn't mind some clearance! :D

[expane]

- then on the next page click on "See this store's listing of blowout items"

cant seem to see that

COMP USA has some horrible deals in CA

[Shimrra]

Anyone been to the NYC CompUsa in Manhattan?

I wondered if those red stars meant anything at that store. Some things have them, some don't, I know the ring up price is never certain to be the price displayed. Wish I had checked an American Wasteland, I liked that game a lot.

Maybe I'll go try Ridge Racer, it was down to $15, but the tag had a red star on it. Who knows with that place.

[Vegan]

Hmmm, none of the LA County stores appear in the Store Locator anymore...

Hmm you're right. Burbank isn't showing up anymore. I wonder if it's still physically open.

[Xerxes]

Great, the two houston CompUSA's aren't closing. :(

[epobirs]

Hmm you're right. Burbank isn't showing up anymore. I wonder if it's still physically open.

The Woodland Hills store was still in business as of four days ago. I don't think the closure commence for at least a month or so. It takes time to sell down the inventory at slowly increasing discounts. Also, the Department of LAbor gets very persnickety with large companies pulling the plug on their employees on severe short notice.

[Techsticles]

Great, the two houston CompUSA's aren't closing. :(
Ahh but the one in Webster near Baybrooke Mall isn't on the list... so I assume it is closing. Incase you plan to go down 45 towards Galveston anytime soon. :bouncy:

[just call me J]

I hear CompUSA is going out of business.

[happyorangeman]

I went to a CompUSA today and I saw a whole bunch of games labeled $1.88, $2.88 and $7.88 but then the manager told them to take the stickers off and put them back to full price!!!

WTF!

I asked why and he said everything is being put back to regular price and then clearanced out later when they get more info. They did have signs around the store stating they are no longer using the same deals as the weekly ad because of the "FULL INVENTORY CLEARANCE"? I asked when that was and they just said check back at the end of the week? I think everyone was bummed out because they were losing their jobs? Oh well.

[YoshiFan1]

That's what I was afraid of, those under $5 games will be marked up to $20 - $30 and then 10% off probably and some people will buy them at close to full price.

[flizmo007]

Went into the Modesto, CA store and was told markdowns would officially start tomorrow for all COMPUSA stores being closed.

[FRAUD_WHATS_THAT]

So it is a sign your stores are closing if you search your zip and nothing comes up? I have like 6 in my area and none of them are coming up. No for the love of god, that's been my go to for like ever..................

[ITDEFX]

So it is a sign your stores are closing if you search your zip and nothing comes up? I have like 6 in my area and none of them are coming up. No for the love of god, that's been my go to for like ever..................

yes. All stores in Northern VA are being closed down. I did confirm this with one of it's employees. So if your store is no longer listed, then it's going to go. Wow, they moved very quickly with the web site. Hell Tower/SG took care of the web site store locater later then this early .

[TehTriggerman]

Went into the Modesto, CA store and was told markdowns would officially start tomorrow for all COMPUSA stores being closed.


Tomorrow as in March 1st?? across the nation or just in CA? wow, I wonder if the'll even out prices then take 10%-20% eventually till they clean out. I might have to go again tomorrow this is news.

[flizmo007]

Yes, March 1st. This is from two separate employees at the Compusa here in Modesto, CA. I would think it is nation-wide.

[ITDEFX]

so what can we expect? 10% off and climbing each week?

[jerm781]

I picked up
Table Tennis 360 $12
Sega Genesis Collection PSP $12
Ghost Recon Advance WArfighter xbox $5

[Shimrra]

this suck the comp usa by me has all there games in a glass case so theres no way of knowing what game has been reduced.

Anyone have an idea of a list about what is going to be on clearance?

[Thongsy]

Yes, March 1st. This is from two separate employees at the Compusa here in Modesto, CA. I would think it is nation-wide.

Hmmm going to have to hit that store up tomorrow than, see what they have. Was there any detail on what clearance prices were going to start at?

[Inf^Shini]

Hmm, I'm in burbank and the store here isn't showing up either :o

Guess they're closing down >.>

I know hardly anyone ever went there, hopefully they have some good stuff goin on :)

[guinaevere]

Was there any detail on what clearance prices were going to start at?At the moment I would expect full retail price minus 10%.

[GizmoGC]

The Oxnard store has nothing on sale. A few small tables is set out with a bunch of off-brand iPod accessories...I guess it will take a few weeks for decent markdowns.

[Inf^Shini]

Wait, so the clearance deal is supposed to start March 1st on closing stores and is YMMV then?

[NGOChocolate]

Picked up March Madness 06 (Xbox) for .98 Cents at a Comp USA in NYC.

Thanks.

Houston Chronicle Tech Blog (http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2007/02/compusa_closing_126_us_stores.html) detailing local area CompUSA closings. I started a thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129564) over in the regional forum.

[dm877]

saw battlefield 2 (360) for 10 bucks

and that was it

nothing much

[rcx4]

Hmm.. tomorrow [well, technically it's today]..

I'll check the COMPUSA in my area and report later in the afternoon.

[gorgo]

Went to Lewisville, TX store yesterday, as they're one of the closing stores. There were NO current deals.

I asked a clerk, he said they'd start at 5% off everything Friday, then go down further from there. 5% is such a joke. Oh, so that $60 game will be $57!? Score!

Fortunately they had pretty much everything for the 360 in stock, so hopefully when it hits 40-50% some goodies remain.

[ThatDamnDave]

saw battlefield 2 (360) for 10 bucks

I'd be thrilled to find that game for that price. The multiplayer online is spectacular. I suppose I'll try mine today to see if anything has dropped.

[Ogami Itto]

At our store they started at 10 - 20% off (10 for notebooks, desktops, mp3 players). Now its 10 to 50% off (with notebooks, desktops and mp3 players still at 10%) with 2 weeks to go before we close. The funny thing is people are still buying notebooks at that discount even though tax is almost 9% where I live, so they're basically saving 1%.

Ummm wouldn't they pay 9% tax if it were still price?

$100 with 9% tax is $109
$90 at 9% tax is $98.10

Seems a bit more than a 1% discount.

[thabizzle]

i wondered why this thread popped back up! Looks like all the Missouri stores are going bye-bye. Time to build that system and/or expand my 360/PSP collection....excellent.

Well, I just looked up the stores in my area (Detroit) and none of them are listed anymore. Looks like I'll be paying my local store a visit after work today. It's too bad, but I never really buy anything there anyway.

[Shimrra]

Your lucky when I look up the store nearest by me seems like they are staying open :(

[TehTriggerman]

I was there by chance 3 days ago and the managers special display was real weak. FF 360 $24.98 and PSP games for 27.98. Just Weak. Im wondering if this 1st day of March will bring better fruit? Im debating the trip.

[Xerxes]

Has anybody been today yet.

[Shimrra]

I plan on going by after work.

[kell]

My local one was 10% off today.

A guy said the liquidators were coming in to price items soon. So I will repeat what someone else said, if you have been waiting on clearance items now may be the time to get them as there is a chance the clearance items will be marked up once the liquidators come in.

I actually saw evidence of this with some in town. One store inventory system was showing GBA systems for $4.98. After verifying that they had them over the phone, when I arrived I was told they were transferred to another store (which was closing). So I went to that one and the systems were priced at $60 with a % off.

[Kevlar281]

Has anybody been today yet.
I went to the Webster, TX location today. Not much to report. The games that you would expect to be cheap were but nothing was priced less then what you could find on Amazon.

[InvaderZim]

Has anybody been today yet.

Yeah, signs said 10-20% but I cold not find anything 20% off. I wanted to price check a 360 game a and a Wii game and the guy at the register said I would be required to buy it to see my discount. ??? I was like what the hell? We went back and fourth for a few minutes and then a woman came up with a huge book of discounts - 99% of the store was 10% off. She then told him to start scanning the stuff and then just void the sale if the don't want it. What a crock... even going of business they are confused and cop attitude.

[TehTriggerman]

the guy at the register said I would be required to buy it to see my discount

WTfuckFING Hell? What kind Business practices are happening nowadays? :roll: Im sure most of these like BB and this in case break retail state laws. I used to carry them in my pocket when I encountered asshats and whipped it out. Maybe I should print them out again and carry them.

Speaking as someone who has worked retail before, what the cashier probably meant was that the discount is unknown until it's rung up and the entire purchase is totalled. Every retail place I've ever worked at had stupid shit programmed into the registers that everyone, including the managers, found to be an absolute annoyance. In high school I worked at a place that wouldn't let the employees "undo" an item that had been rung up if the customer changed their mind; a manager had to be called to insert a key and we just had to stand there until he made it up to the register.

He was pretty set on me buying it before I could see the price. He kept saying 'Do you understand what I am saying... when I scan it you will be buying it. I can't tell you the discount until after you buy it.' Since I only had the 2 games I was like yeah sure... and I'm thinking what fun it will be to just walk out after he gives me a total. The only reason I even approached him was because someone on here said the 'next gen' games were 20% already. It was the Melbourne, FL store - anyone in the area should go mess with them.

[GrafixGuerilla]

I wonder what kind of deals (if any) will result from today's announcement that CompUSA is closing 50% of its stores?

[shrike4242]

Ran over to the Bridgeton, MO store, and they were putting up signage.

Laptops and other computers were 5% off, some stuff was 10% off, other stuff 20%. Hit or miss on what's what, though I'm expecting that after tomorrow, all the signage should be up.

[crewj]

all chicago area stores are closing... can't wait to see what's going to be on liquidation in a few days!

[lawdood]

Hit one of the Sacramento, CA area stores and seemed like most stuff was at 10% off. Did pick up Full Spectrum: Ten Hammers and Painkiller for XBOX for $5 each and Prey 360 for $20 though, since they were in the clearance bin the 10% didn't apply.

[PaleGreen]

As expected, the clearance isn't anything special in the early going. Video game stuff is at 10%, while the rest of the store ranges from 5 to 20% off.

That said, I got a few "blowout" leftovers from the clearance bin:

Tron 2.0: Brady Games Guide: $2.38 (2.98 - 20%)
Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (GC): $0.88 (0.98 - 10%)

[Boots]

Yeah. That's dead right. My friend used to work at a CompUSA (in Auburn Hills, MI, off I-75 exit 80). They fired him shortly after he got a 2nd job, two weeks before Christmas. He's been saying since July how the store is going to close. The store has since been looking worse and worse, and that one in our area has fired most all of its employees. As of 2-3 weeks ago the managers have been doing cashier work. They have a couple sales people. No stock boys, etc. Then a couple days ago he tells me it is closing, along with all the stores in the Metro Detroit area with the exception of the one in Lansing.

[rcx4]

Went to CompUSA today @ San Bernardino, CA...

Nothing.. although there were signs posted that they would not be honoring their "weekly-ads."

[Jedah Doma]

Went to the one Comp USA in town. Jack squat as far as games goes. It doesn't look lie it's closing down and there wasn't even a 10% off of games. Everything was still jacked up.

[buurrnn]

Which sacto one you go to. I went to the one by arden fair and there and most stuff was 10%. Apple stuff was a measly 5%.

[Malik112099]

stopped by the compusa in henderson, nv tonight and all the games were 10% off and all movies were 20% off....picked up The Last Samurai and Million Dollar baby HD-DVD's for $16 each

[klezmer41]

I went to Arden Sacto also and they are definitely closing. Only the SF store in norcal is staying open to my knowledge. No deals to be found, all the games I checked were regular price - 10%.

[RelentlessRolento]

.. I feel stupid for not checking CompUSA daily since I just moved to a new place where it only takes me 5 min to walk over to a CompUSA...

[jshawnd]

Went and grabbed the clearance game I've been meaning to get for a while. Ridge Racer 6 (360) for $15. They also took 10% off, for a nice total of $13.50+ tax. (this was at the Monroeville, PA location, and they had 2 copies left).

I'll miss the store. Got plenty of odd, very good deals over the years there. And now I'll have to get my printer ink at Office Depot, which isn't nearly as fun.

[zandrolouie]

I just read the paper and in SoCal today they are officially beginning the liquidation. It says everything in store is discounted. There were about 15-20 stores listed for SoCal.

The other day I was talking to a CompUSA employee and she mentioned that they should be "out" of the building in 60 to 90 days. So I guess we have to wait a bit for the TOTAL LIQUIDATION pricing (if supply permits ofcourse)

[Malik112099]

yeah...as it gets closer i will be checking more frequently....they had king kong for $17 before 10% discount and also ridge racer 6...hopefully (since i dont think many people shop there to begin with) as it gets closer to their last day the video games will get heavier discounts

[TehTriggerman]

Will all the stores closing nationally close at once? When Is that day? Otherwise its poking my ugly face in that store several times a week for weeks/months?

Ahhh, that's crazy. So many stores closing o_O. I remember going to the one in Burbank just to use the internet :P (i'd clear my history of course)
I even applied for a job there a couple years back, glad they didn't take me ;)

[gaggil]

Picked up Prey Collectors Edition for 17.99 and a GBA Micro for 26.99.

These prices were only 10% off but they were the last ones and probably would not last.

The employees were clueless as to when the items would get a higher discount and said to check back in a week.

The employees did say that the merchandise would not be shipped back to any other stores and would be discounted until everything was sold.

[ThatDamnDave]

Yeah, Columbus store at Easton is 10% on games right now, 20% at most on some parts of the store, some parts 5%. Maybe after a week or two it'll get down to deal type levels.

[sirdamian02]

Lots of stores closing, looks like all the stores near me in the Chicagoland area will close

[Apossum]

Hit up the Highland Park, IL store. It has been very good to me over the years--endless supply of sealed, non-gh MGS2, a couple sealed non-gh FFX's, KOF00/01 for $10, Fatal Frame 2 for $10 etc.

Thought I would get one last hurrah as they had 3 XBL 12 Month Starter kits listed on their clearance site for 98 cents! But they were nowhere to be found at the store :( so I picked up Victorious Boxers 2 instead for $9. not too shabby.

[FRAUD_WHATS_THAT]

Just a FYI for anyone who's looking for the inventory blowout but your store has been removed from the site. Go to google.com and type in COMPUSA YOUR STORE CITY NAME HERE blowout. Then once it finds the old page click on cached pages to find the last inventory list. I found all of my locations but some were about a week old. But at least it gives you something to go off of when you're looking for some deals on games or other cheap stuff that probably has at least 10% additional off. Good luck

yea I had my store blow out list bookmarked but damn, they removed it. We need to sticky this thread somehow to watch the percentages off.

[Professor Oreo]

Thanks for the heads up about Prey LCE for the 360. I was able to snag the last one today at my store for $20 bones.

[toadielurks]

The CompUSA in Mesquite TX right now has everything 20-50%, some limitations, only 10% off MP3 players, 20% off Xbox 360 consoles. All games are currently 30% off, as are DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD. Game wise, not a big selection left on DS, PS2, PSP and PC but they a very large 360 selection as well accessories which are also 30% off - i didn't look in the 360 section as i don't own the consoles but they alot as of tonight (Friday March 2). The other CompUSA locations in Dallas & Arlington are only 10-20% right now and it really isn't worth your time for now.

[wwjasond]

Just a small update that I hadn't seen on the thread yet but the CompUSA website has been updated to show all the stores closing in 60-90 days. When you search for a store there's a small link at the bottom that links you to the list of store closings by state. I'm unfortunate enough to not live in an area whose CompUSAs are remaining open. The closest ones to me are in DC area and I dont feel that at this time it is not best to invest a couple of hours each way and the headaches associated with that area for minor discounts.

[NamPaehc]

Here is a link to all the closing stores. (http://www.compusa.com/locations/closing_stores.asp)

[equest943]

Sugar Land, TX is up to 20% off but deals overall weren't that great. 10% off games at the moment with 20% off movies. Most everything else is about 10% off minus Apple products which I was expecting. I figured they would just take things like consoles and Apple products to another stuff and sell them there. Wouldn't they lose less that way? Anyways, I'm holding out until Sunday and going first thing in the morning if I can wake up on time.

You'll probably see me out there... The higher the percentage goes, the less good stuff will be there.

[RelentlessRolento]

are the XBL starter kits from the original xbox or 360? I know it dosn't matter, but wondering since the spare headsets would be nice.

[Justin42]

Wow, I'm shocked that both CompUSAs near me are closing. One of them doesn't surprise me (smaller store in a strip mall, never very busy) but the one in Burbank shocks me. I guess the competition from Fry's was too much.

[Psykodelik]

Thanks for the heads up. One store right down the street from my work is on that list of closing. Gonna check that out on Monday.

[alongx]

If my local CompUSA is 20% off, I may be tempted to finally buy a 360.

[sirdamian02]

Do you know if this is going to be total liquidation? I don't want to get my hopes up but maybe I could sell Age of Empires 3 which I bought 3 days ago and buy it there.

[abhinav]

OH man the CompUSA near my house is closing, boo to that (even though i never went there.) Anyone know when these stores are shutting down or is it too late?

[jgamezcua]

Only 10% at my CompUSA

[napmaster]

my compusa is also 10% off all games. I didn't see ANY game systems. They must've moved the inventory to one of the stores not closing, too bad.

Anyways, I picked up Syphon Filter: Omega Strain (PS2) for $0.92. They had College Hoops 2K6 for $4.98, but didn't pick it up.

I just went the to Highland Park IL location yesterday and they had 8-10 Xbox 360's (both models) and 4-5 PSPs on the floor at 10% off. I asked about the PS3 and they said they still had a few "in the back" at $540. The PS2 was cleaned-out though, and of course no Wiis in stock. Pretty large selection of PS2, 360, and Wii games too.

[Xerxes]

Whats today looking like?

[happyorangeman]

Yes it is a total liquidation. Everything has to be sold. At least that's what I was told.

[Shimrra]

Just went by mine compusa they had a couple WoW Burning Crusade Collectors Ed. Not sure if its worth picking up. So far everything is 10% on everything only a selected few are 20% off.

What I would like to know is when do they raise the amount of sale?

[crazyj]

^shoulda grabbed the collectors ed to ebay em

[reibeatall]

^shoulda grabbed the collectors ed to ebay em

They aren't worth it.

[omgu8myrice]

does anyone know if all of compusa B & M merchandise can be found online on their website? Or do they sell some stuff that arnt posted online? Im looking to get a certain set of speakers, but they arnt on the site and i dont wanna take a long trip there and find out they dont have it

[Shimrra]

They aren't worth it.

I figured WoW BC wasnt worth it. I might just wait for the price to drop down some more before I pick them up.

[bigtymer]

The east side Cleveland store is 10% off games and accessories. They had both core and premium XBOX 360. But no PS3s or PSPs.
No great deals on anything...I guess that why they are going out of business

the blowout deals are B&M only.....compUSA is still running a regular sunday ad....also when you first walk into my compusa there's a sign that says that the store isnt honoring any advertised sale prices due to the closing sale.

[Thongsy]

That's one of the things that bother me, I just got a CompUSA ad in the paper or mail this past Wednesday and saw they had a good deal on a 27" Olieva tv but since they're closing, they wouldn't honor that price and it was like 200-300 dollars more than the ad.

[Inf^Shini]

I was around burbank and they got a couple people holding up signs advertising the close of the CompUSA store with items up to 20% off

[Malik112099]

i went into my local compusa again today (henderson, nv) and it was still only 10% off games....there were a lot of people in there...mostly due to the GIANT banner out front that states the store is closing.....i doubt it will get down to any really good deal prices before everything is gone...

[Kirra]

I was around burbank and they got a couple people holding up signs advertising the close of the CompUSA store with items up to 20% off

The Monrovia location also had people old up signs. I went in but there were no cube games :(! And only 5/10% off wanted items, 20% off misc items.

[Guapo77]

I hate GOING OUT OF BUSINESS junk because everybody buys everything out before it gets down to anything good, 10% is nothing to get excited about but everyone will buy everything out anyway.

I GOT THIS MOUSE FOR $18 instead of $20!!!!!!!!!!! DEALZ!

[romeogbs19]

agreed, my friend. i swung by my compusa and they had nothing of interest. even with discounts, i didn't walk out with anything. honestly, i'm suprised it took this long for compusa to fold up a lot of its stores. i couldn't understand how it was profitable ... and with this news, well, i guess for a long time it never was. yet another example of a very poorly managed company.

[TehTriggerman]

Banners on the front of the store..games still only 10% off as of 3/3 we should try and keep the %'s updated so we might be able to get something at least before the stores are wiped out.

[MuteSuperstar]

Yeah, looks like this is a typical outsourced liquidation like Tower Records...I doubt there will be many great deals to be had.

They had Oblivion for the 360 in the clearance bin last week for 59.99 with NO discount. Ridiculous.

[kell]

Yeah, looks like this is a typical outsourced liquidation like Tower Records...I doubt there will be many great deals to be had.

Is it so hard to liquidate a store that you have to hire someone to do it for you?:roll: Well I guess if they had capable management they may not have had to liquidate in the first place.

[hotwls13]

I know when Good Guys went OOB here, the deals really sucked until the last week. I remember going in there and they had the Halo2 LE for $5. Which, at the time was a pretty good deal. Only game they had in the entire store.

[ITDEFX]

i think i got some good furniture from the tower closeout.. compusa is a bigger store so lets see what that produces.

[Guapo77]

I think I should open up a store that is ALWAYS going out of business so that way I sell everything all the time. People are stupid.

[cheapkevin]

Hmm... when I look at NJ stores on the store locator... only one store comes up. Where are the stores that are closing? How do I look at deals for stores that are closing if they aren't there? :bomb:

I was just there today. 360 games are still 20% off. They need to hit at least 30% off so I can start buying already!

[io]

The store on Airport Way in Portland is only at 10% off. But I did find 2 games for $4.48 each (after discount): Ape Escape On the Loose (PSP) and College Hoops 2K6 (360). Neither was marked correctly but on a hunch I had them price checked. All the employees were doing in the store was comparing resumes and talking about where they've applied :roll:.

[XXXplosive1]

I closed the Bloomfield Hills, MI store last fall. The only thing worth buying right now is Apple laptops and Ipods if they are 10% or more in your area. Give it about 2-3 weeks for the 10% products to go to 30% off and you will find your good deals then.

bg2001, your probably stuck with the PS3. They have a ton of all sales are final signs in every location. You would be better off going back up there and asking the manager to speak with the liqudator that is running that store and get the cords and controllers from another ps3.

Hmm, I may swing by a store or two after work. I'm considering buying the 360 HD-DVD add on, especially if I can find it for 20%-50% off.

Children of Men, Heroes Season One and Battlestar Galactica in HD have really been tempting me.

[ThatDamnDave]

Children of Men is a sweet movie. Highly recommended.

[Ranger Rick]

Children of Men is already on DVD?????

[bg2001]

update:

they were REALLY cool about it. gave me no hassle at all as far as returning it. additionally, since i paid for it with gift cards and the liquidating stores can't issue gift cards, they put the refund directly on my credit card!

CompUSA is also going out of business because the HR managers are "geniuses" at hiring the wrong people. In other words, most of the people they hire don't have a clue about computers. Poor customer service spells disaster.

yeah....ive been in there twice since the closing sale......only things i found decent were HD-DVD prices with 20% off.....all the game stuff is 10% off still....i didnt see any consoles in there

Thanks a lot man I'll check it out tomorrow after class then. 20% off for HD DVD is not too bad

Dorian... I'm going to the one in Troy today to see what they have for HD-DVDs. I'll report back with anything I can find.

[heavy liquid]

Children of Men is already on DVD?????

No, not until 3/27. But that, along with Heroes in August and Battlestar in September has me seriously considering the HD-DVD add-on. If I they have it and it has a decent discount, of course.

[FrankieFiero]

Dorian... I'm going to the one in Troy today to see what they have for HD-DVDs. I'll report back with anything I can find.

I'm going to stop by Novi tonight after work... they were never known for selection on anything other than PC parts though.

[InvaderZim]

They do. I saw some sweet big-ass HDTVs outside Chicago for 20% off. Many of them were the last models on the floor, though.

I would pass on a TV froom COMPUSA unless you can get it for maybe 50% or more off. Remember - these are being sold AS IS, they have high prices on televisions anyways so getting one for 10-20% is about the same as getting one on sale at Best Buy or CC (w/ Warranty)...plus, you are getting older inventory...

[bubblebobble]

I went to the Brookfield WI store yesterday.
Most of the stuff was only 10% off.
They had no GC games.
They still had a good selection of Ps2 games,X-box acessories and Wii games.
They had one copy of GTA:Trilogy for Ps2 for $29.99 before the discount.

I notice there was a Xbox360 core and psp on top of a cabinet behind the customer return counter, but no systems on the floor.

I also looked at their computer parts and that stuff would have to be off at least 30% before it becomes competitive with the normal discount sales at other stores.

The only thing that was 20% off were movies.

I didn't buy anything there but I did stop at a near by ebgames and got used complete copies of We Love Katamai for $27 and Panzar Dragoon Orta for $8. So my trip wasn't a complete waste of time.

[heavy liquid]

I'm going to stop by Novi tonight after work... they were never known for selection on anything other than PC parts though.

I just got back from the Novi store, and it's exactly like bubblebobble's store. Almost everything is 10% off except for DVDs which are 20% off.

No consoles in sight, and no 360 HD-DVD add-on either, which is what I was looking for. But I probably wouldn't have bought it for only 10% off, anyway. They did have a good selection of games, mostly Wii, 360, PS2 and PC. But it's hardly worth it at only 10% off.

They didn't have any HD-DVDs, but they did have quite a few Blu-ray discs.

[FrankieFiero]

I just got back from the Novi store, and it's exactly like bubblebobble's store. Almost everything is 10% off except for DVDs which are 20% off.

You will also see some 'repacking' going on.... they will try to pack up whatever is laying around the floor/stockroom and pawn it off as new.

[lilazn52592]

50% of all Comp USA are closing in the US. With liquidatoins starting now also i got a pick of trauma center under the knife for 20 bucks:)

[bg2001]

to those of you looking for systems:

you will have to ask if they have any of system "X". they will most likely not be on the floor.

just wanted to clarify that. it seems like some people are assuming they are out of a system because it isn't on the floor. just ask so you don't accidentally miss out on the deal!

Everything is being clearances at varying percentages off. There is no longer a list online (at least for the stores I looked for by googling "COMPUSA blowout <store location>").

I went to the CompUSAs on Route 17 in Paramus, NJ and saw a nice selection of games at craptacular prices. One had Dungeion Seige (PSP) marked at $54.99.

What was even funnier, at least in my sick and angry opinion, is when I had to use their bathroom (had some bad Taco Bell for lunch) their toilet wouldn't flush.:hot: :hot: :hot: I guess its my going away present.....

don't know if it was mentioned yet... but i just came back from my local going out of business compusa and the guy mentioned that tomorrow is the day they increase the discount percentage... it might be YMMV.

[Nemo_Hyde]

You know, if we CAGs ebayed our game collections, cashed in our credit at FYE, Gamerush, Gamestop and Gamecrazy... we could form a liquidation company and buy whole chains going under and divvy the inventory up ourselves...

First Tower and now CompUSA... the craptastic liquidation clearance sales continue...

[ThatDamnDave]

Just an update on mine at least (Easton in Columbus, OH), the discounting has progressed from 10-20% to 10-30%, which is still not great but is one step closer to actual deals. All games are still 10%, though clearenced stuff now applies apparently.

The game selection there is still packed, so hopefully it gets to a price level worth it.

Picked up Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (only one) from CUSA @ Duluth GA last week for $13.48 after discounts... They have a few Quake 4 (2) Prey Collectors Edition and (1) Madden 06 on the clearance rack. Not much else, I'm waiting for more discounts. Anyone seen anything at the other metro Atlanta CUSA's?

[imacgod]

I don't see blowouts for stores that are still listed either.

[Cleaner7]

PDZ Collector's Edition and Kameo each for $19.99 - that's hot, too!


I got my PDZ: CE and Kameo as well as PGR3 for $20/each early in the school year on CompUSA and Circuit City's websites on the same day so this isn't the first or probably last time this deal will be up, but if you've been wanting them, then this is the perfect opportunity.

[DarkYoda]

Grand Rapids had Quake 4 19.99 -10%

I picked up the last NBA 2k6 (360) for 9 something after the 10% off.

I'm going to wait though and hope I can get a couple of others games once they get some better deals.

I agree that 10% off is not really a deal. But you can buy these games at 10% off and not wait for it to be shipped out to you from Amazon. I guess it works out for those who are impatient.

Not all CompUSA stores are at 10% off video games. There's a store here in the Chicago burbs that is at 40%, but the selection is crap from when they dropped to 20%. When your local CompUSA drops to 20% that a good time to start considering making those game purchases you've been eyeing. They may not make it to 40%.

Random deals like this are why I'll miss this place...

Columbus, OH at the Easton store is still 10% off... I went in there and everything was 5-10%, hell I couldnt find anything at 20% besides monitor cables. Still who will pay 30$ for a monitor cable. If any1 actually sees a sale going on at one of these overpriced stores post please! Its not worth my while to keep checking in on the store. Hell if it goes to 40% you might be able to get a knock off 42" plasma for under 1000$ that most stores sell them for.

On a side note they had a large stack of 27" LCD TV's for $550, kinda high...but they didn't look like they are going anywhere...I hope to upgrade to one for maybe around $300 or less later...need hi-def. gaming. Overall selection was high and discounts were not that great.

I can get Resident Evil DS ($19.99) and Lunar Knights ($29.99) @ 10% off. Is RE any good? I'm not sure about getting Lunar Knights because I fear it might be another title that fades into obscurity and might be impossible to find in 5-6 months from now...

[soulwish2003]

Stopped by the Melbourne store this afternoon:

15% off computer games
10% of game consoles/games
15% OFF TV'S
15% off networking
30% OFF CABLES
30% game guides
5% OFF APPLE PRODUCTS

10% off just about everything else... people were looking around but no one was buying...

I haven't heard anything remotely good about Lunar Knights. Hell, I passed when it was $10 at Fry's & TRU.

PS, everyone - Burbank store is still 10%. F that.

[irishsoccermbw]

They really arent tryin hard to follow all their damn signs "everything must go" well aint nothin goin at 10% off...which is still like 5% over most retail prices

[Inf^Shini]

Anyone seen any good deals on mouses for the PC at the CompUSA in Burbank or around the LA County? I'mma friggin need a new mouse, my MX518 is disconnecting randomly, pretty much a sign of a dying mouse :/

[Thongsy]

Modesto, CA is 10-30 percent off, with 75 percent of things being 10 percent off. Some PC stuff like psu and cases are 30 percent and PC games are 15 percent but console games are still 10 percent. Nothing really worth buying yet as it's still overpriced and no returns.

It was the Columbia, MD store. It's one of the stores that's not closing.

Anything else to report back from Columbia? I'm coming home this weekend from college, so I will try to pick up the leftovers, I guess. :lol:

Too bad the Red Star Inventory list doesn't show up in the store locator. I remember getting awesome deals on a GBA Micro and the 2-pack of PS2 memory cards... Good times...

[Inf^Shini]

Well hey, if anyone see's good deals on a PC Mouse, hit me up. I'll be glad to work something out so I can get a new gaming mouse :D

Nothing really special, but they had a few decent games. They are on a rack in front of the regular game section. I mainly went looking for Top Spin 2 so I didn't look at much else but I remember a few.

Top Spin 2 (Xbox 360) - 3 left I think
Enchanted Arms w/ Graphic Novel - 1, maybe 2 left
Tiger Woods 06 (Xbox 360) - 2 or 3 left
Phantasy Star Universe (PS2) - 3 or more

They also had a mix of other Xbox and PS2 titles that I didn't really look at as well as some guides and PC games. These were all on the 50% off rack. I don't remember seeing a sign on the rack though. I didn't find out about the 50% off until I went to pay for Top Spin 2, then I went back and grabbed Enchanted Arms.

:???:

I think you're confusing Lunar Knights with the Lunar: Dragon Song game.

Lunar Knights just got released last month, reviews are very positive:

You're right, I did confuse it. Oops!

Nevermind....

[chodax]

Meh, I dont like Lunar Knights. My opinion > gamespots + igns.

Chodax your views intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I went a week ago to my nearby Comp in Braintree, MA; most stuff was 10%.

Anyone swing by the one in Braintree, MA this week?
If so, anyone know the percentages off??

Namely, anything bigger percentage-wise off the PC games....?

[BrandonMills]

I live close to the Brighton store. As of Friday, they were still 10% off software.

I hope everyone who is out to buy realizes that, with CompUSA pricing, we'll most likely have to wait until 50% before there are any good deals to speak of.
Sadly, I'm afraid much of the general population can't do math, or doesn't check NewEgg.com for the same hardware.

[BrandonMills]

Also, my store sent all of its Mac hardware somewhere :{ So I guess no waiting out for an awesome Mac deal, at least not at the Brighton one. Bummer.

[Stormy151]

I checked the one near me last night. Most everything, incl all new games are 10% off. I did notice most of the Apple stuff was gone, and the discounts on what was left were not that deep.

[Bravelionheart]

Mine has everything left. No one's buying anything because it's still so damn expensive.

[Thongsy]

A bunch of stuff from my store is gone. Half the PC games, Most if not all of the console games are still there. Still at 10-30 percent off. I think I'm going to stop bothering checking, not worth the effort.

[PRican25]

i came from the edison store and the one off route 22 east in NJ, still 10% off for console stuff and 15% off for pc games.

the main thing that caught my eyes was for a new pc case and lucky enough thoses were at 30% off and still had a few brand new ones at the stores. but i'll still wait for it to drop more to get more stuff heh.

[mogamer]

I was at the Troy, MI store and games were 10% off and they had 10 - 15% off of HDTV's. Even with 15% off a HDTV, the prices are about the same as everyone else's. Nobody with common sense will buy a set at those prices when you can't return it if it's defective. I wouldn't even look at one unless it was 50% off. The store may be closing, but not the chain (at least for now).

[Trebuken]

Mine does have a couple nice HDTV's left, and the prices with 15% off are not bad...granted another 15% and they will be steals though. They do have some new models, other stroes are still trying to pass off last years models.

Anything that says Aquos, Bravia, or SXRD are good deals. I'm watching the 24" Gateway LCD screens myself...

I went today though and there were no additional discounts. They are selling stuff unfortunately...

Sawmill store, Columbus, OH)

[ThatDamnDave]

If any of the Columbus stores drop, be sure to let us know :) I wouldn't mind getting an HDTV myself.

[BrandonMills]

Checked the Brighton store again yesterday. Software is at 15% off now. Console games still 10% off.

*yawn*

[zackL04]

anyone see the syntax TV's lower than 10% yet?

[Shimrra]

Anyone in New York City seen anything yet?
