CompUSA Red Star Inventory Blowout B&M YMMV

[Strider Turbulence]

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

*yawn*


Thanks, I was going to make a trip up there but I won't bother now.

[Inf^Shini]

Was around burbank last week, the signs changed to up to 30% off everything for the Burbank CompUSA store.

Still not worth biting, but it's a start.

[ddrisgood137]

Any TV's better than 10% now?

[Trebuken]

My nearest store has been at a whopping 15% for over a week now...

[hhhdx4]

has anyone been the the paramus store lately?

[happyorangeman]

has anyone been the the paramus store lately?

No, I was in Paramus Yesterday and totally forgot to go. I'm going to check the Totowa, NJ location tomorrow. I'll let you know what I see.

[jdawgg76]

Accidentally bought Jedi Academy for Mac instead of PC. Saw it specified on the receipt immediately at the register and was stonewalled from returning or exchanging it for a PC version. Shouldn't have been in a hurry to get to work. Guess I'll have to buy a Mac at 5% off if any more are around.

[v1et r1ce]

anyone see anything interesting in the king of prussia,pa one?

thanks!

[eldergamer]

I picked up Mortal Kombat Decpetion (? The one from 2004) for $4.95 if that's worth anything to you.

[Secret Turtle]

Princeton NJ's stinks. Still like 10%

[depascal22]

White Plains/Greenburgh, NY store still has 10%. I went ahead and picked up Burnout Revenge and Dead or Alive 4.

any good deals

[Derrick1979]

Can anyone in the locations of the OP confirm any sales on Gamecube games or GBA in those stores pref.. the Brookfield one???


Thanks

[daria19]

I was there a few hours ago, and games are still 10% off. Seems to be the same prices from a couple of weeks ago. People seem to be waiting for better deals...there is still alot of stock left.

[imacgod]

At Columbia, MD, there are two copies of Resident Evil DS on that black cart with all of the other clearance games. I didn't buy either of them because I'm completely broke. 50% off, so it's $17.50.

[bubblebobble]

Thanks
I was at the Brookfield WI store about 3 weeks ago.

They didn't have any GC games. It looked like they had cleared them out long ago to make room for Wii games.

They did have a ds and/or gba section.[sorry I can't remember what games they had]

No systems or handhelds on the floor, but if they do have them they are probably kepted in the back room.

The fairfax,va store had RE:DS for 20 bucks last month. Did you do an actual price check at the counter? (meaning had the cashier ring it up and apply the discount?) or did you just see the tag for 34.99??

[Josef]

Here are a couple of clearance deals from a non-closing CUSA. I'm guessing the prices will be the same at all CUSA's since there was no manual changing of the prices (they scanned for that amount).

College Hoops 2K6 (360) - $4.98
Mage Knight: Destiny's Soldier (DS) - $19.98

I was particularly happy to find Mage Knight DS since it has been disappearing from all the local stores around me and is bound to get even harder to find.

[Malik112099]

anybody hit up the henderson, nv location lately?

[chodax]

anybody hit up the henderson, nv location lately?

I went last week and there wasnt much on sale, I'm about to go again today though and see if anything is cheaper.

[strdr4]

oh son of a... Late to the party. All Compusa's in San Diego are closed. doh. oblivion eludes me again.

[FrankieFiero]

I was out near the Novi, MI store today so I decided to pop in and take a look - absolutely nothing has changed. Console games are 10% off, console accessories are 15%, PC games are 15% and PC Keyboards/Mice/Controllers/etc are 10% off.

[TehTriggerman]

Hit the Sterling Heights MI Store And the rear of the store had store displays on sale and was pretty bare..4 feet from that ..The games Isle.. @ 10% :roll:

[BrandonMills]

I went to the Brighton, MA one again yesterday. Nothing has changed. 15% off software, 10% off console games. People are still holding off buying because of their high initial prices.

CompUSA can't even go out properly. No wonder they're selling so many of their stores.

[PaleGreen]

This has got to be the slowest developing "everything must go" sale ever! The deals are still laughable, at best. :cold:

[mogamer]

This has got to be the slowest developing "everything must go" sale ever! The deals are still laughable, at best. :cold:

I think the reason why stores have huge empty spots is because everything that could be moved out cheaply was shipped. Everything else that was left, they're still trying to make a profit on. I saw Quake 4 for the PC at $49.99 before 15% off. Everywhere else it's selling for $19.99. A previous poster was right. You won't find huge discounts unless the whole chain is going down.

[Optical]

My local CompUSA has a Nintendo case, which really looks like a cheap shelf with glass on it, marked for sale when they close. The only thing that separated it from a regular glass case was a Neon Nintendo sign on it. Thinking that it would be cool to have, I requested to be contacted about it.

So yesterday I recieve a call from some dude there. He said, I quote, "A lot of people have been asking about the case and with handling charges it will come to 1500 dollars." I seriously laughed out loud. Are they they retarded to think anyone will pay that much for a piece of crap shelf (that you could probably buy at Walmart for $100 and a lot sturdier) with a Nintendo Logo on it? If people are putting bids up, damn people are stupid...

Anyone else have any stories about trying to get game cases/stands?

[Malik112099]

went to the henderson, nv loacation yesterday....what a crock....the games/accessories were up to 15% and movies were at 20% off.....even with that Superman Returns on HD DVD was STILL $28....and none of the games wereeven close to tempting...i swear some of the prices actually went up....screw this..i dont forsee myself going back unless i hear of 40%+ off of everything

[blandstalker]

Ain't that the truth.

Stopped by yesterday. It's now almost a month since the "clearance" started. All the discounts are exactly the same, except for PC games which went from 10% off to 15% off a week or so ago. Woo-de-fucking-hoo.

I suppose that people are still buying stuff or they'd up the discounts, but it seems dumb to me. The last couple of times, I haven't seen half the number of people in the store. They're all waiting for the drops that aren't here.

Even in death, the store is what it always was: a wasted trip.

I thought the same thing. I was hoping that after a month the percentages would change and be more tempting. I was going to check out the "everything must go" clearance today, but forget it.

Quake 4 for PC at $50? Wow....That's high.

I remember when Best Buy was selling the Quake 4: Special DVD Edition (which also comes w/ on the 2nd DVD Quake 2 + its TWO expansions) for $19.99, many months ago....

[portnoyd]

Came on to see if I should bother stopping at my local CompUSA to see if they dropped tiers yet... that's a big no. :(

Come on, at this point, I don't even care about games. I just want a new keyboard for $20. >.<

[omgu8myrice]

Heh..me too

[McAck]

I picked up NBA 2k6 for $6 a couple weeks ago. I'm gonna check it out again tonight...I doubt they went up from 10% though.

[jdawgg76]

Media Plays demise Pwns this Demise...:roll:

Really? I totally missed MP's death until I drove by a deserted store one day. So it was worse than this then? I don't feel so bad about missing it now.

[ThatDamnDave]

Just as an update, the Columbus Easton Comp USA is still at 10% for games and a whopping 15%!! for Xbox 360 accessories. That's a 5% increase after a month!

The store is pretty much full. Not much different than the stock they had there two months ago.

[dhelmuth]

Went by this morning and lo and behold, they raised the percentages at the Duluth, GA store. 15-40% off. Video games are now 15% off... None of their games are marked, though. They have removed the prices from the shelves...
I did notice that printer toners are 20%, now may be the time to stock up on toner..

[BrandonMills]

Worst Clearance Sale EVER!

[toadielurks]

I agree - Worst Clearance/Store Closing ever..

The Arlington TX Store is still a joke - all games are still 10% off everything else is still 5-30% and yet half the store is completely empty (dismantled shelves all over the place) - makes me wonder who's buying when it's only 10% off!

[Optical]

I drove past it today and people had signs that said: UP to 40% off!!

Last week it was 30%. I wonder if the games got bumped to 20 or 30% off... probably not.

[Litigation_Jackson]

Before the one on PCH in Long Beach, CA closed down, I managed to snag myself Elite Beat Agents for $16 and Rogue Galaxy for $24.

That was a lucky one; since it was sharing a building with Tower records (before they closed) it actually looked like they stocked some good stuff every once in a while.

[eugaet]

Elite Beat Agents for $16
Damn! I wish my CUSA was closing...

[bg2001]

its weird - i think some of these stores are still getting in new titles - saw ssx for the wii today at a store that is closing.

[Trebuken]

My local store was still at 15% on games, but it seems the crazy people are buying them. I think some games may have been shipped out as well.

The only thing that I saw at 40% was some cell phone accessories.

MOst of the 10% stuff went to 15%. Laptops were still at 5% I think.

LCD's went to 15%, and I'd guess some of them were sent out rather than reduced (I had been eyeing a 24" Gateway, they had a bunch and then suddenly none).

[Apossum]

still 15% off games at mine.

they have 360 cores for $254 and a PSP for $169. I'm tempted to find a cheap HDD and piece together a premium system, but it seems like premiums are getting close to the $300 point on ebay with the Elite coming out. and there's nothing I want to play on it right now.

[blandstalker]

Went yesterday. I was in on Monday. Signs now said 15 to 40% off everything.

Video games went from 10 to 15% off. Wow.

There was one DS Mage Knight left, so I picked it up. $17. I saw it the very first day of the clearance. By waiting a month I saved an extra....$1. CAG deal of the year, I'm telling you.

There are still some good games left, and a ton of 360 games. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm probably not going to get any of them. DS Hamsterz Life seems to have disappeared, along with a bunch of other DS games.

They had some 360 Premiums left, which wouldn't be a bad deal. But they're probably from the 360 launch.

[happyorangeman]

I was at the Compusa in Parsippany, NJ and it is still a crappy sale.

5-40% off. Most of the stuff is still 15% off. PC's and Laptops are 5%. Zune accessories are 30% off though.
Video Game Guides are 40% off. They had the Gears of War Collectors Guide and Perfect Dark Zero. They also had Halo 2 and The Sims. Some other decent stuff. My brother got the Resistance Fall of Man Guide for $6.00? I think that was the price anyway.

[BrandonMills]

I'm still wondering if the sales are in synch with each other to some extent. Most people across the country are reporting the same percentages off. If that's the case, maybe we could start tracking this sale a little better. Posting when percentages on certain products are lowered.

I think it all depends on when the stores lease is up...

[TehTriggerman]

LAME.

:roll:

[BrandonMills]

Checked again yesterday. No drops worth mentioning. Games still 15% off.

[daminion]

I spoke with a manager at a closing CompUSA and got some news that wasn't very hopeful. their plan is to slowly drop the prices of games, but they will not drop them to a point where they lose money. He indicated that they would send them off to other stores before they dropped that low.

[BrandonMills]

Wouldn't surprise me. My CompUSA has already shipped out all Macs and a lot of the more high end video cards to other stores.

I started a northern VA one since the bastards are closing all of them in NoVA :(

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130077

However based on what I have been seeing and reading here, it looks like this is CompUSA's big way of saying fuck YOU to the customers who never buy stuff at the store. My guess is because this is not a complete company wide shut down (meaning the company is going under), this is why we are getting such a shitty close out deal. Anything left over will head to the other stores.. but eventually when the company does go under...those remaining stores will have the best close out deals and we will get the shaft! :(

Well, that's terrible. Essentially they want us customers to clean out the crap that's too much of a bother to ship, and they don't even want to bother giving us a good discount. And everything's non-returnable. Exactly what benefit are we getting out of this?

I would say fuck them, but they've already done a good enough job of that themselves.

[RelentlessRolento]

horrible... it'll take forever for the games to hit at least 20% >_<

Exactly what I was thinking, these prices aren't much of a savings and with no returns or warranty it isn't such a great deal. Went by the Modesto. CA one the other day to see if prices have dropped, still the same as they were a month ago...

[MysterD]

Anyone been to their nearby CompUSA lately?

If so, at your store, how much are the percentages? They change at all?

Stopped by on my way home from work on Friday at Duluth, GA store. Games are now 20% off and are in 2 big metal cages as soon as you walk in. Most of the games are not marked, so you have to ask for a price check..

20% on games at mine as well. Whoop-de-doo.

[Jagwarlord]

Did someone say Phoenix Wright for DS was rare? They had 1 of each game there but I passed it up, I couldn't remember if the games were rare or not. They had the first PW and the 2nd. $30 each with 20% off

Anyway I got Saints Row for $40 and King Kong for $14, not bad I guess. They were out of wireless 360 controllers which sux

[Mo the Hawk]

Just picked up a wired 360 headset from my CompUSA for $16. Doubly awesome since Best Buy, Target, AND Gamestop were out of stock for that damn thing.

[v1et r1ce]

Has anyone been to the one near king of prussia,pa? If so what are the percentages off games and game accessories cause I'm thinking of picking up a wired controller for 360 if they have any.

[LinkinPrime]

Stopped by on Wednesday and games were 20% off, strategy guides were 40% off.
They had good game for X360, saw Crackdown as well as a couple other recent releases.

[PRican25]

Stopped by the one in Edison, NJ, 20% on consoles/games there as well which I don't see as bad but not that great either. at least you can get 360 games for 47.99 or so and some there were cheaper like king kong for 360 was a manager special at $17.99 + 20% off was at $14.99.

[Stormy151]

Scored a copy of Crackdown with the Halo 3 beta invite for 20% off last night. Less than 50 bucks, is a pretty good deal. I think I got the last copy. All the 360 stuff is 20% off...

This was at the Scottsdale, AZ store.

Not priced??? Really???

What happened? Are some of the games cheaper than they were before now or something???

[rarebucky]

Stopped by a CompUSA near me that was closing and they still had tons of games, all at 20% off. Clearly not a good enough deal for even the average consumer to buy them. So does anyone know when these are going to increase to the 50% off point or so? The employees at the store indicated that they wouldn't increase to that level and the remaining merchandise would be shipped off to other CUSA stores, which I know is incorrect because they are no longer CUSA stores, but rather owned by a liquidator.

[portnoyd]

So I wonder when the snap will come... when the game % off drops enough that the vultures swoop in and buy anything of interest.

Last wed. the Totowa NJ store was 15%/40%. BOOOOOO

my guess is about 2/3rds through april it'll start to hit the sweet spot. I'm waiting till then since I can see a compusa from my house and it only takes 2 min to walk there.

[Jagwarlord]

If you see some good games , hide them somewhere in the store and go back ad buy them when thier 75% off:D

[dhelmuth]

Checked store again yesterday and realized that they had an Oblivion Collectors Edition, had them price check and it was $19.98... Then 20% off of that... Needless to say I got it...

Can anyone recall all of the game deals prior to the store closing and compile a list?

That's an awesome deal for the game. Was it the PC or 360 version? (gonna assume it's not the ps3 one)

[zozozo333]

Just picked up a wired 360 headset from my CompUSA for $16. Doubly awesome since Best Buy, Target, AND Gamestop were out of stock for that damn thing.

I've got like 3 or 4 of those damn things laying around from the Xbox live bundles and I never know what to do with them.

[ThatDamnDave]

Just as an update, the Columbus, OH Easton store is at the 20% game discount now and they've consolidated all of their Xbox360 games into a stand alone display instead of spread out in aisles. Visually it looks like less games, but maybe that's just an optical trick in taking it from long spread out rows to a kiosk that piles six or seven deep.

Anyway, lots of games left and at 20% right now.

[sabo]

does anyone have any updates? im in tx and i've been a few times already but im lookin for an lcd/flat panel monitor last i checked they were 10% at my store

[Optical]

I just drove past mine and people had signs saying everything was 20%-50% off. I might stop in tomorrow.

[JesseJames]

I checked 2 of the closing CompUSA near my area today. Here's my observation so far:

-Many of the good stuff are 20% off (video cards, network stuff, software, etc).
-Vista Software are 25% off.
-Computer components are 40% off (cases, case stuff, power supplies).
-Only thing that I have seen so far that is 50% off are strategy guides, cellphone accessories, and AC adapters.

I noticed a small print on the percent off signs that saids, "excludes mp3 players and computers". I guess those stuff are only 5% off.

[ZForce]

Mine had TV's for 25% off, unfortunately, I don't have the cash to buy a TV right now. All the games for both PC and consoles were 20% off. I picked up 3 PSP games (Ratchet: Size Matters, Sid Meier's Pirates, and Capcom Puzzle Collection) for about $85.

[Bathory]

bump

[daria19]

I just drove past mine and people had signs saying everything was 20%-50% off. I might stop in tomorrow.

Same for King of Prussia PA store today. Alot of stuff is still there, seems like people are waiting for another price drop.

[Thongsy]

Same for my compusa, 20-50 percent off. Still have moderately a lot of stuff left, still a lot of games. I don't think they'll drop it any more if it's taken them this long. Seems like they didn't sell out their inventory to a liquidator and they're just clearancing it out themselves and will probably just keep and ship all the leftover inventory to other stores.

[TehTriggerman]

Went to the Sterling Heights MI store and saw:

20% games: PS2, XBOX360, PSP, GBA, DS
25% Games: PS3 and Original XBOX.

Saw Nothing. :roll:

[FrankieFiero]

I went by my local store today, games are still 20% off with the exception of PS3 games, which are now 25% off - hotish for those who have a PS3.
Controllers are now 25% off as well. (Keyboards and Mice still 20)

[Stormy151]

I went by one today, Ipod/mp3 player accessories are 40% off. Blank media is 25% off.

[areeve]

If they do ship inventory to other stores vs. really clearencing it out (as the local CompUSA's sign says) then that's actually funny as that that's how they got into this mess in the first place. Corporate has said that one of their core problems was not competitively pricing stuff and holding on to old inventory.

Numerous games at the local CompUSA that are on clearance are currently cheaper at other stores even with the % discount they are offering. I just wonder if they've learned anything about how to compete.

I liked having a local CompUSA, but knew this was going to happen. The funny thing here is that the FIRST time I ever saw them open any of their checkout registers was the first day of their out of business sale. Before then there was always a sign telling customers to check out at customer service.

Same for my compusa, 20-50 percent off. Still have moderately a lot of stuff left, still a lot of games. I don't think they'll drop it any more if it's taken them this long. Seems like they didn't sell out their inventory to a liquidator and they're just clearancing it out themselves and will probably just keep and ship all the leftover inventory to other stores.

[PRican25]

went by the one in Springfield, NJ again and its up 50% now but gaming stuff is still at 20%.

[BrandonMills]

So pissed

The one in the Brighton, MA area has shipped out EVERYTHING decent instead of selling it off. Video cards, motherboards, ALL CONSOLE GAMES, etc. etc..

The only things they aren't sending back are things that they can't pawn off on other stores.

[dat playa]

I'm in Atlanta, GA - there are lots of CompUSA's going out of business sales. Games (including 360, Wii, PS3) are at least 20% off... and PS2/Xbox/Gamecube accessories/games are at least 30% off. Great for old XBL cards :)

[fairtrade]

Hm. CompUSA finally went down to 20% off video game merch? I wonder if that's YMMV? Then again unless they had some DS Lites in stock I probably couldn't care less. None of the CompUSAs down here ever have squat.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

The one in Syracuse seemingly took forever to up their % off and by the time I got back up that way to check out the store again, they had closed. People who don't know squat about games will go in and think 1/5 of the price off is a great deal, whereas I'll wait till the final week of a stores closing sale to go and cherry pick whatever is left.

I'm still kicking myself in the ass over not grabbing multiples of Silent Hill 2 AND 3 for PS2 when the one store in NJ I happened upon was in their final week. I was out there for an auto auction and decided to hit that mall on the way home. <shakes head> I later on paid $30 for a USED copy of SH 3 from GS. :-X

[Friend of Sonic]

Is it finally 20% off? Might be the time to check my Compusa. It took them long enough.

[Darkprime]

I think mine has 25% off, but most of the games are old one that no one seems to want. Oh well.

[Foo228]

damn...i don't even know where a local compusa is at

guess im gunna have to mapquest it :cry:

but hey, 20-30% should be well worth the drive there...right?

[NolbertoS]

I remember the ones in Seattle had that 20% off, but they jacked up the retail prices of the games, so it was still expensive, even after the discount. Might as well buy it from BB, CC or Target, as they're games are cheaper than CompUSA.

[dhelmuth]

Some of those games will be around until the end. Checked the price of Arcade Unplugged (360), $39.99 when it can be had elsewhere after the price drop for $19.99.. At 50% off you are just breaking even... Checked DOA4 (360), Thought it was gonna be $29.99 - 20%, It rang up for $39.99.. But, there are deals to be had. I picked up the only Oblivion CE (360) from the Duluth, GA store earlier last week for $19.99 - 20%. Not much else I am interested in until the price goes below $20, so I'm waiting for the % to go higher.

Which stores have you hit so far dat playa? I've been to the Perimeter, Alpharetta, and Duluth stores. Only the Duluth store has their games out, the rest still have the plastic boxes with photocopied covers...

[garfep]

Isn't there a CompUSA thread floating around?

Yeah, these going out of business sales have been posted about for weeks:

[PyroGamer]

My CompUSA isn't going out of business, thank god. Michigan's economy sucks enough already.

[dat playa]

Some of those games will be around until the end. Checked the price of Arcade Unplugged (360), $39.99 when it can be had elsewhere after the price drop for $19.99.. At 50% off you are just breaking even... Checked DOA4 (360), Thought it was gonna be $29.99 - 20%, It rang up for $39.99.. But, there are deals to be had. I picked up the only Oblivion CE (360) from the Duluth, GA store earlier last week for $19.99 - 20%. Not much else I am interested in until the price goes below $20, so I'm waiting for the % to go higher.

Perimeter + Marietta + Smyrna.

Perimeter wasn't too good. Smyrna was good. Oblivion CE (360) for $20 + a $49.99 R:FoM = :)

[freshzen]

Yeah reminds me of when media play went out of business. I dont think I ever bought anything cause by the time the discount got high enough to be good deals only crap games were left...

[guyinga]

Perimeter + Marietta + Smyrna.

Perimeter wasn't too good. Smyrna was good. Oblivion CE (360) for $20 + a $49.99 R:FoM = :)

What about Morrow? I may head over there this weekend if it's good.

[hXc007]

hey dat playa, is that one compusa still open over there on cobb pkwy in that target shopping center or is it closed now?

[blandstalker]

Went to the Mission Viejo store yesterday. Didn't go at all last week since I was out of town. Probably good that I didn't. No real change, except less stuff.

Video games are 20% off. PS3 games are 25%. So are XBOX games, but I think they mean XBOX 360 games.

Most of the good Wii games are gone. Sonic is still there, but $40 is meh to me. SSX Blur, which they had a ton of, is gone. Nothing good left for DS except EBA which is still no deal.

[dat playa]

hey dat playa, is that one compusa still open over there on cobb pkwy in that target shopping center or is it closed now?

Yeah - that's what I meant by Smyrna. No more Oblivion CE there though ;), they still have 360 accessories, HDTV's, some good PS3, Wii, and DS though. IDK about PSP but I think I remember a Killzone: Liberation or two. Be warned that they have paper printouts and you have to bring them around the front to ask for copies.... :cry:

[imacgod]

Anybody able to report what is available at the Glenn Burnie, MD CompUSA store? I might have to hit that one up sometime. I am looking for Mac games in particular.

[jdawgg76]

I was at the Lennox (Atlanta) Compusa tonight around closing and big news! New signs were going up because the 20 to 50 % off jumped up to 25 to 50 % off. Yaaaaaaaay! Seriously, how lame.

[BrandonMills]

Went to the Brighton, MA one yesterday

PC software 30% off. Not terrible, but given everything is jacked up in price in the first place, not exactly a 'deal', either. All console games gone. All good motherboards gone. No processors left. The only decent deals are power supplies, cases, and CPU fans at this point. Even then, it's only decent.

I guess I'll check again next week. Still a really lame sale.

[happyorangeman]

This sale stinks. I have been to 5 CompUSA's in NJ and I have not bought one thing. My brother picked up two guides but I haven't bought anything from this waste of a sale. They were trying to sell non operational PC's at the CompUSA in Parsippany, NJ for $250-$300! No HD's and no accessories or wires!!!

I wanted to buy a new Motorola V3X cell phone and the sign said $149.99 but when they rang it up it was $240.00! They told me that the sign is wrong but it said Motorola V3X on a Computer Printout with the lower price on it. I think they were just being jerks.

[Secret Turtle]

Video games in Princeton NJ on Route 1 are now at 25%... Do you guys think I should get hitman blood money for 360 at 35 bucks minus the 25%? One copy left so I 'm debating grabbing it or rolling the dice in hopes of another slahing of prices.

[daminion]

Great Northern Mall, Cleveland OH

All Games 25% off
- Handful of Wii titles left, but they will never sell. Farcry priced at $49.99 will rot there.
- No PS3 titles left

Guides 60% off

Cell Phones 40% off (no deals)

Notebooks now 10% off. Still no deals since everything is overpriced.

TV's 25% off

Copies of Vista are now 30% off

Video Cards 25% off

Techie Accessories 40% off

Phone and iPod Accessories 30-60%

That's all I can remember. I haden't been there in about 2 weeks and was surprised to see that only about 1/3 of the store was left. I guess if you say "Clearance" it will bring the hordes of people who don't know any better.

[TehTriggerman]

Same deal as My store. Labels said no OS. And Monitors were sold seperately near them for 175.00. Do people believe what they are seeing are deals in the 'sale' atomsphere and think they are making out?....I did better on individual manager sales. :roll:

And the kicker? Signs throughout saying: "See something you like? Get it! for it may be gone tomorrow!"

[McAck]

anybody been to attleboro, ma store? I was there when they had 10%..just curious of what they have before I make the trip..

[Secret Turtle]

Beware of these asses. Hitman was labeled as 34.99 and I brought it to the register it rang up as 39.99. I asked why this was and she said somebody must of accidentally labeled the plastic casing... they dont go by that. I know that they did it just to move the games and then fuck you over at the register.

[Kuma]

curious about this one myself, im kinda surprised that its this one and not the warwick RI one going out, that stores a dump

[FrankieFiero]

Went by the Novi, MI store yesterday:
All games and gaming accessories 25% off
Vista 40% off
Books/Guides 50% off
Movies 30% off
TVs still 25% off, but pretty much just the Olevia and Sony LCDs left.
Hard drives all but gone 30% off(WTF?, they were a ripoff at anything below 50% off)
The walls are pretty bare, good selection of games - still mostly not a deal even at 30% off original MSRP.

[Secret Turtle]

Does anybody else's CompUSA pay Ninjas to stand outside in the rain/cold/heat to advertise with long signs?

[DX]

This si a fucking joke. I went into the N Houston lacation today and laughed at the "blowout prices". With the 25-50% off it gets them to somewhat competative prices with other retailers.

WHat a joke. No wonder they are closing most the stores.

thats how it goes with all the stores closing down, they did that to the toys r us i worked at.

[Optical]

Vista is 40% off at your store? Did that just change? Last week it was 25% off here.

[DX]

Yeah but CUSA has ALWAYS been at these prices, way higher than the competition then they close stores and downsize because they wonder why their marketshard is shrinking.

[LinkinPrime]

Have videocards dropped any further from 20%?

[ITDEFX]

Vista is 40% off at your store? Did that just change? Last week it was 25% off here.

Even if Vista was at 90% off I still wouldn't buy it. Who wants Windows ME 2.0 (AKA Vista) on there good machine anyways?!?!?

[BrandonMills]

Fan and PC accessories is at 50% off. Cases and Power Supplies are at 40%. One more price drop, and I might end up buying myself a case, power supply, and cpu fan. Would be nice to have a decent motherboard to use with that, but the Brighton CompUSA shipped out all the good ones instead.

Software at 30% off. Nothing on the shelf really worth it until they go to 50% off.

They only have about 2 weeks of sale time remaining ( at least, most stores. ), so they really better start dropping the prices on what they want to sell. Of course, since they can just ship anything they don't want to sell off to other stores, they don't have to ever give us any good deals.

[velvet396]

Which is why they're having to close the stores anyway... vicious cycle caused by a bad business model :)

[Jedi1979]

went to 3 diff stores today and came out with a surprisingly still sealed Antec Sonata 2 case for $70...and it wasnt even dented:D ...Vista was 40% off, they had the upgrades for Premium and Basic and the full version of Basic...these were in the one in Paramus...the West Nyack one didnt seem to have any Vistas out

[RelentlessRolento]

my CompUSA has an original mario statue selling for $549 ... yeah right! only 2.5 feet tall too!

[gamerguy2k7]

video cards and video games now 30 percent. Most are gone now...

[whitereflection]

Is there any way to check what items the closing stores still have in stock? They don't show up on the website's store availability lists.

[RelentlessRolento]

Supposedly I've heard from employees all closing stores will close on Not this friday, but next friday/saturday.

Possible.

http://www.compusa.com/locations/default.asp?cmid=toptab

That post has been up for over a week, so about a week left would make the official webpage timeline correct.

So the question is, will they drop prices finally, or will they just ship everything out to other stores?

[amusedtoe]

Wow... looks like all the Compusas in the Metro Detroit area have closed or otherwise melted off the website. Remember hearing or seeing that one was going to be closing but that the nearest one is now 99 miles away in Lansing is rather surprising.

[shrike4242]

Went to one last night, and it said "Only 11 days remaining", so I'm guessing that they'll be done on Monday, May 7th.

I'm curious what the discounts will be next week.

[TehTriggerman]

The Compusa in Sterling Heights MI was still limping along, havent been there since as the prices were an absolute Meh.5

[hepcat1]

Sorry if someone else has posted this and i didn't see it.

Just got back from my local Compusa which is closing like so many others. Nothing stood out, but I didn't notice a big stack of game time cards for City of Villains/Heroes, SOE online games (eq2, eq, planetside, etc.), and Autoassault. Sorry, no WoW.

The 40 percent off applied to all the game cards, so I picked up a 60 day for CoV (I always go back every year for a month or two to check out the changes) for 17 bucks. However, the 30 day cards for the SOE games (can be applied to any of their games, it says) came to .98 cents each. The 90 day version was ringing in at 29.99 still (with the discount), which is odd. So i cleaned out the 30 day versions. 3 months of EQ2 when i want for 3 dollars. YMMV, but it's worth it to check it out if you play any of those games listed above.

P.S. Speaking of MMORPG's, WoW: Burning Crusades was 19.99 and they had a TON of copies.

[pochaccoheaven]

if your an xbox live internet member, they also have them on sale. they should be like 30-40 percent off about now.

[FrankieFiero]

I was in the Novi, MI store last night - one of the guys there said he was on the schedule for next week - so he knows they'll be open at least that much longer.

[crowbb]

Not true. Back in the early 90s CompUSA was the cheapest place for many things. They had good sales and often had new release games for $15ish off the retail price. I would always give CompUSA a few weeks when a new PC game came out because a lot of the time I would get it far cheaper there. They had a lot cheap to free after rebate stuff too. Eventually they just raised the prices on everything and all the deals went away. Maybe they got cocky when Computer City went out of business but they have been a waste for years now. So yeah CompUSA has been terrible for a long time, but once they were actually a store worth shopping at.

Yeah but CUSA has ALWAYS been at these prices, way higher than the competition then they close stores and downsize because they wonder why their marketshard is shrinking.

[crowbb]

The Springfield, NJ CompUSA is pretty cleaned out but did have the WoW add-on marked down to $9.99 each. They had a shopping cart at the entrace, you can't miss it.

[Malik112099]

anyone been to the Henderson, Nv location lately?

[LinkinPrime]

Checked out the FV, CA location 2 nights ago. They will be completely shutting down in 10 days. All videogames are 30% and VG accessories are 40%.

[tinyandi]

Went to Smyrna, GA and they did not have any MMORPG game cards. All games were at 30% off. PC games were at 40% off. I called Perimeter and Lenox and Perimter had NO MMORPG gamecards and Lenox only had Galaxies left. HTH someone.

If someone finds any EQ gamecards in the GA area, please help a fellow CAGer out. I'd really would love some.

Burbank, Cali CompUSA is now at a 30-50% off sale mark

Sorry if a repost

[Arkay Firestar]

Got Vista Home Premium Full for 140...good deal.

[GizmoGC]

Oxnard location still blows. Not sure if they have any HD/BR titles left.

[blandstalker]

Checked out the FV, CA location 2 nights ago. They will be completely shutting down in 10 days. All videogames are 30% and VG accessories are 40%.

Same deal for Mission Viejo, CA location, except I think accessories are still 30%. They are closing in 9 days from today.

Really not worth going. The only "deal" I saw was God Hand for $14 + tax and I passed on that.

The rest are either terrible games, or they were overpriced to begin with and are still overpriced even at 30% off.

[ITDEFX]

Got Vista Home Premium Full for 140...good deal.

How did you get Vista Home Premium full for 140?!?!?!?

[Arkay Firestar]

How did you get Vista Home Premium full for 140?!?!?!?

40% off of all Vista software...239 or something...40% off.

They had a few left...and quite a few decent PC and xbox games...

Like MS Flight Sim X SE for 40% off 69.99...or a few copies of NWN 2 for 40% of 49.99.

But the best deals were the Vista stuff, IMO.

I originally got two copies of Vista Ultimate Upgrade (they were out of ultimate full), but after realizing the guy there had been wrong about the ease of a clean install with the upgrade version, compounded with the fact that the only 4 things I was missing was three features I didn't need and the convenience of having the 64bit DVD in the case (only 10 bucks to order separately from them...I'll live...it was a great deal.

40% off all software at my store.

[ITDEFX]

huh?!?!? OH fuck!

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/ITDEFX101/compusavista.jpg

Hmm it doesn't show the original price.. when I take 40% off of 239.99 I get 96 dollars off I get 143.99 + 5% sales tax. It did ring up on the screen as 239.99..so what the fuck happened?!?!?!?

Yeah, they will probably deny it since they have nothing to lose by not helping you. Worth a shot though.

[portnoyd]

Sorry if repost, but Totowa, NJ is at 30-50% with 13 days left. Game selection is meh, mostly stuff that would be a stretch to buy at 30% off.

[Arkay Firestar]

Well, I originally bought two copies of Ultimate upgrade, after talking to one of their moron techs and he misinformed me as to the ease of a clean install with the upgrade version...

So I hurried back and spoke briefly with the manager and they swapped them for the full Home premiums.

They even gave me back some cash since the Home Premiums were cheaper.

By the way, has anyone whos bought any of the vista fulls noticed two large round plastic sticker seals instead of one? I thought for a bit that it had been previously opened, but realized it was impossible after opening it myself and having some of the ceritificate of authenticity rip off and the sticker clearly not be easily restuck without being obvious...

But I'm still wondering why there were two round sticker seals (top part)...so maybe other people have seen it like that too?

I will be pissed if down the road when I'm installing onto a new computer I find that the key doesnt work...oh yes pissed indeed.

[ITDEFX]

But they fucked up, there computer gave me 30% not 40%.

Discounts are at the discreation of each store. Some maybe 30% and some may be 40%.

[FrankieFiero]

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday - I was going to pick up a Sportster Replay since they were 50% off - marked at the counter "All Satellite Radio - 50% off", each box marked 50% off, with the original and discounted price... take it to the register - came up 30% off.
They said that the price at the register is correct, and that they couldn't discount it further - I walked.
Moral of the story, let the cashier scan in everything before you swipe your card - even though most states have consumer protection laws that require stores to honor the marked price, the liquidation company doesn't seem to care.

[ThatDamnDave]

My experience was much like many others at the Columbus, OH Easton store. Xbox 360 games are 30% off and most of them are the clearance-type games such as PD0, Full Auto, that kind of thing. There were some good ones in there though.

Burning Crusade is 50% off, so $20 and there were tons of copies. The Vista packages are 40% off but they were out of Home Premium Upgrades, just Home Premium full installs (thus, more expensive). They did have Home Basic Upgrades.

[Inf^Shini]

I dropped by the CompUSA in Burbank, there's hardly anything left worth purchasing :/

All the fools took everything during 10-20% off

Some dudes were haggling the employees for the display Plasmas :P

[Serik]

The CompUSA in Roseville, CA (down the street from the new Fry's) is a wasteland.

Nothing worth buying. Their PC game section features such greats as Left Behind, in other words the stuff people won't buy even with steep discounts.

[ITDEFX]

well fellow cags..thanks to your "doesn't hurt to try..." I went back, saw a new sign saying Vista 50% off!. So I went to the CSR rep, a cute one at that, told her I bought it two days ago and didn't realize until last night that I was charged 30% instead of 40% off. So she talked to two managers, and after they did some math, one of which of them mistakenly ADDED 40% instead of taking off 40% told the CSR to refund the product to my card, then re-ring it in a new transaction. I over heard the girl talk to the other girl (a somewhat cute looking Hawaiian) saying that she hasn't done a return in awhile.. so basically in the confusion I got my 176 back, then I was charged the new price of 50% off instead of 40% off!!!

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/ITDEFX101/vista50percent.jpg

I bolted before they could pick up her mistake.. Thank god they didn't fight me on this.

man too bad I am not single anymore... that csr was surely cute :)

[MadFlava]

Vienna VA Compusa only has 7 days left after today. It will close next Monday. They still had one more copy of Windows Vista Home Premium edition for $119.99 (50%) off. I saw some memory stick duo's at 40% off. They still have some games at 40% off. No more gaming systems that I can see.

[Darkfire001]

Anyone know if the Raleigh CompUSA is still open? I might try driving by to see if they've got any decent HDTV or game deals this last week. Wouldnt mind picking up some X360 games, even if the discounts are pretty slight.

I was there last thursday and they had almost nothing left. Pretty much all the games were cheaper at other places. Example was at 30% off Amped 3 was still 28.00 :-(

[sandman007]

Got Tomb Raider Legend guide and Gears of War guide for $6 each.

[Arkay Firestar]

Vista stuff was the only really good deal at CompUSA during this clearance liquidiation IMO...you could get the full retail version for OEM price or better.

I'm happy to have my OS now for when I build my new compooter.

agreed... Although Vista is screwed up atm, I am sure Service packs will fix it shortly. However I really can't afford to install it at this time because of the risk of BSOD if I do it now vs a clean install. Getting it for 50% the set MSRP is a good deal as MS rarely price drops there OS. I probably won't get around to installing vista til my next upgrade OR next year. BTW, Can Compusa really get away with Selling vista CHEAPER then what MS tells them to?

I totally agree, the price of XP is still expensive if you have to purchase it still. Getting Vista for 50% off is a huge deal. I decided to purchase it because I intend on my next laptop being a Mac so I want to install Vista on it and use via bootcamp. No way I'll be able to get Vista Home Professional this cheap next year when I get my laptop.

Also, I jumped on the last copies of these games at 40% off. I think if I hold off any longer the last copies will be bought. This is what I was able to buy.

360 Gears of War Collectors Edition $41.99
PS2 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology $17.99
PS2 Rogue Galaxy $23.99
Xbx Mortal Kombat Annihilation $11.99
Xbox Live 12 Month Subscription $29.99

Not sure if I'm going to keep all of these. I don't have a 360 yet so I might put Gears Collectors Edition up for trade.

[deadtrees]

The full version of Vista Business rang up as $149.99 at the Philadelphia location.

If you don't see any copies at your store, ask the manager. They might be more copies kept in a cabinet away from the display case.

[BrandonMills]

XP is supported until 2013. Odds are, by the time they start forcing DX10 games upon us, a new version of Windows will be upon us anyways.

Pass

[ITDEFX]

holy shit some fatwallet assclowns cleaned out all versions of Vista at fairlakes, va!!! According to the big wanna be rapper dork, he said two guys came in and bought all there versions of vista for like 2 grand in cash! Some one is defenitly flipping them for big time profit. With 50% off, if they find a place that takes them back with no questions, then shit they are making some serious money on that *deal*

[gamerguy2k7]

games are now 40 percent off. the best selection of games left are for 360. Far cry for $49.99 waz the only wii game and no ps3 game. Also some accessories were as well (controllers, 3 month gold kit, 1 month card, and other stuff. Employees prolly got first grabs on anything else night before.

Picked up crackdown with the halo 3 beta for $35.99 and King Kong 360 for $10.78

EDIT: Still have plent of expansions of wow for 50 percent off

[XMastaCrackaX]

Never mind i found my answer DAMMIT. No stores near me closing. its wierd cus fresno store in california was on the blowout liquidation and now they arent closing.

[ThatDamnDave]

Hit up the Columbus, OH Easton store again today. There are supposedly 11 days left for the store to be open and everything is now in the 40-60% off range. The 360 selection was mostly crap, though they had things like Tiger Woods for $20 and the Madden HOF edition, but nothing jumped out at me.

Instead, I picked up Vista Home Premium full version (now 50% off there) for $120, a Vista Home Premium upgrade for $80 and Burning Crusade for $20. They had some of all three left (not many premium upgrades) and you have to ask at the counter for the Vista stuff.

[EmeraldKing]

50-70% off at store near Tacoma Mall, WA. Games & Acc. are 50% off. Few upgrades of windows vista still avail.

[imascrub]

i didn't want to keep going back to the compusa store to see if they'll have their manager's special half off on Burning Crusade (which they never did), so I just picked it up since their PC software and stuff is 50% off now. Bunch of other stuff 40-60%.

[alexjlopez]

In the Houston area, it's 50-70% off at Sugarland and Willowbrook stores with one week left until the stores close, still 40-60% off at North Houston with 11 days left as of today. I went to all three today, since I'm new in town and thought I'd go for a ride hehe.

Sugarland and Willowbrook were pretty much cleaned out but plenty of copies of WoW expansion and Windows Vista in all flavors at 60% off. Some SOE 90-day games cards at 60% off were a good deal too. Willowbrook has a few Wii games left $49.99 minus 50% off, they had Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Splinter Cell, Avatar, and Ant Bully.

North Houston still had good video games left as of this afternoon--copies of Gears of War, Lost Planet, Crackdown, and Oblivion were behind the counter in the glass case mixed in with the same Wii titles I mentioned and dozens on PS3 games all at 40%.

Hope this helps :)

[PrivatePixel]

Went to the Dublin, OH store this morning; discounts are now 60-80% throughout the store. Picked up Vista Home Premium (full package) for ~$76 incl. tax (no more Ultimate copies left). Video games (what's left) are 60% off now.

[xraytd]

Culver City, CA had lots of Spellcaster2, City of Villains, and King Kong for PC at 70% off. Quite a few strategy guides also at 80% off (Chromehounds, Lego Star Wars 2, Need Speed Carbon). Not much left for console games at 60% off (Amped 360, Just Cause xbox). And lots of 360 Monster cables (Svideo, optical audio).

[DirkMcGuirk]

Is there a definitive last date, or does it depend on the store?

I was there last week...decent selection of game and gear, but the prices were jacked, so no savings...Splinter Cell DA 360 $69.99...GTA VCS PSP 49.99 and so on..

They were selling 1 GB crap brand USB sticks at $99! 25% Off that. These must have been 14.99 before they initiated the Out of Business Thing.

I'm sure there were some decent deals I missed.....I bought an opened item kit for my Treo at 9.99....Still only 50% off original opened item.

Might check back tomorrow.

BTW is there a difference between xbox live and a 360 live subscripiton? I never subscribed to xbox live before I got my 360...

Thanks
Dirk

I just stopped in today and my friend that works there said that some dudes came in when they opened and bought all 45 Vista Home Premium/Business/Ultimate versions they had. Bastards... I wanted to get Ultimate for $70. :(

Am I the only one that made out like a bandit from this sale? My local store's last day was today and games were 70% off. I picked up for PSP:

Loco Roco - $12
Platypus - $6 (2 copies)
Gunpey - $7.50
Bounty Hounds - $10.50

Can't really complain about those prices :) They had more stuff but mostly either junk or stuff I didn't want - tons of copies of Fusion Frenzy 2 and Pimp My Ride for 360. Blazing Angels 360 would have been $18 but even that I thought was too high. Also passed up Chili Con Carnage and Gun for PSP. Anyone else score anything?

You were, indeed, pretty lucky. I've been to at least three local stores and they've had absolute *junk* to speak of, in terms of what I've been searching for. In my case, it actually happens to be PSP stuff. Your prices are pretty good (I'd have *definitely* sprung for Platypus at $6), but I picked up Gunpey from BB's frontlane stuff with the $5 off coupon this past week for $5.

I'd be tempted to get LocoRoco, but I just *know* that that game is going to end up in frontlane stuff, as has Exit, which I also picked up for $5 last week.

But anyway, that was a pretty nice score for you, yes. Hardly typical of the CompUSAs around here, though.

[rarebucky]

Never found Gunpey at BB for $10 and the $5 coupon expired this week so I figured $7.50 was more than good for it :)

[crowbb]

Hit 4 CompUSAs in NJ today. One of them had most stuff up to 80% off (And they made an announcement while I was in the store that today was the final day they were open). The others were still 40-60%. One of these said 7 days left The other 2 didn't have anything up saying when they were closing. They were all pretty cleaned out by that point but I did get some goodies at 80% off.

Gothic 3, Spellforce 2, Some RPG collection for PC, Warhammer Battle for Atluma for PSP, Over G Fighters, Bullet Witch, and Blazing Angels for 360.

[Jedi1979]

hey...i was at the 2 in paramus about 2 hours ago...the one that was 70-80 kept making annoucements...was shocked that they had a ton of the 360 VGA cables and monster cables

[Thongsy]

Went by the Modesto, CA one again, up to 40-60 percent off now. They had signs that said closing in 10 days. Games are pretty much junk now. They did have some copies of Vista and Office for 50 percent off. There really isn't much left. Like I said, they had Vista and Office and those were the only thing really worth buying that was left. Also they had one BFG 8800gts 320mb for 40 percent off from $400, so around $250 or so.

[The Cheapest Ass Gamer]

In St. Louis, the Ballwin and Sunset Hills stores are closing either Sunday or Monday. Everything (with the exception of computers) is 60 to 80% off, and I think it's going to 70 to 90 on Sunday. Video games are 60% off right now. I picked up a Windows Vista Home Basic upgrade for $29 at Sunset Hills, but they sold out before I even left the store. Bridgeton will be open for "10 days" still, and everything is 40-60% there (including some TVs at 40%).

[MysterD]

Has the Compusa in Braintree MA closed yet???

[depascal22]

I think most are closing next weekend. Greenburgh/White Plains, NY is at 40% to 60% off right now.

[crushtopher]

I can't find the blowout specials on my store locators page. where is it?

[whitereflection]

There is none. You'll have to go to the store.

[ITDEFX]

stopped by Fairlakes, va again.

nothing but junk left!!

However i did pick up the following items
two copies of CoH for 1.39 each!
two CoV 2 month time cards (4 month total) for 5.99 each!
Xbox Superman returns 1.99!!!!
another copy of the scar face guide box, 1.69

total spent, 19.37!!!!

tv's are gone, printers are gone, software is nothing but junk, no one is buying those P4-1ghz used store computers. ds games are gone, all ps2 games are gone. some shitty 360 games and xbox games are left. I mean, seriously nothing but junk is left. I am officially done with Compusa.

[deadtrees]

The Philadelphia store has WOW:BC, D&D:Stormreach, some Netgear hardware, Monster Xbox 360 component cables...and not much else. All console games are gone, along with 99% of their DVDs, software, and PC hardware.

[v1et r1ce]

[CaoPi]

most are closing down next wk? eh...

[happyorangeman]

The store in Totowa, NJ is 40-60% off. Did not stop in though. I think I have had it with their crappy sale.

[portnoyd]

Didn't miss much, and that was as of a week ago. Most choice titles picked over but some decent stuff.

I'm going to go Saturday morning (the last day supposedly) and see what I can get a copy of at its maximum cheapest. No expectations if people here were willing to buy games at 15% off. :P

[PaleGreen]

It's amazing what people will buy at a crappy discount. I finally returned to a local CompUSA and found the place was almost completely blown out.

That said, I found a few good deals:

Microsoft Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable. $4 ($40 - 90%)
Plantronics GameCom X30 headset for Xbox 360. $4 ($40 - 90%)
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Two-disc SE DVD. $4 ($20 - 80%)

While the pickings are incredibly slim, you might find a few gems among the broken inkjet printers and "for parts" 15" CRT monitors!

[depascal22]

I've been able to pick up Burnout Revenge, Dead or Alive 4, Moto GP '06, and Condemned from this sale. Everyone might hate CompUSA but they've hooked me up from this sale.

[ITDEFX]

seems the employees hooked themselves up for this sale.... good riddance they are gone.

[daria19]

anyone been to the king of prussia,pa one?

Was 40-60% off yesterday, according to the signs that they had people carrying on rt 202. Stuff was pretty picked over last thursday, so is probably even more so after another weekend. They had a few computers for 20% off, but they were well used display models. PC games were 50% off, console games were 40% off. Kind of hit or miss depending on your interests, since the stuff was priced highly to begin with and the selection is not great.

The sign that they had posted last thursday said 11 days left, so they must be down to about a week now.

[LinkinPrime]

Fountain Valley, CA should be closing today or tomorrow. Stopped by on Saturday, was pretty much gone. Picked up a X360 Monster Cable component hookups for $20 (Reg. 59.99) and a case for my Zune 9.xx (Reg 29.99). Checked the gaming section and they were 60% off...PS2/XBOX junk nothing worth mentioning.

[jdawgg76]

The Compusa in my area of Atlanta has a few games I'm interested in. . .for the right price. Unfortunately, the games are locked in a metal bin and most of them are unmarked and it's impossible to find good help (shocker). They are currently 40% off so if I just knew the prices. . . Since most people have listed the actual price they bought them for, could anyone tell me how much the starting cost of the following was if they saw or bought it:
All for 360

Condemned
Burnout Revenge
Need for Speed Most Wanted
Bulletwitch
Just Cause
NCAA 2k7
NBA 2k7
MotoGP06

Thanks in advance!

[Jackalope]

Red Star is a great game for the PS2 - snap it up!

Wow, yours is only at 40% off? Mine closed yesterday. Anyway, I saw the price of some of those games when I was there last Friday.

NFS:MW $29.99 or $39.99, can't remember which
NCAA 2k7 $39.99
NBA 2k7 $39.99

Thats all mine had. I got NBA2k7 for $16.00.

[BrandonMills]

They shipped out anything decent, and made the anxious sale customers fight over what meager scraps remain.

Good thing you're clearing out, because after this kind of performance, I wouldn't want you around anyways.

Thanks! Do you remember how many days were left when it hit 60% off? There's nine days left in Atlanta.

[Optical]

It was 4-6 days left. Can't remember for sure. I think they switched last Friday... Their last day was Monday.

[dhelmuth]

Thanks! Do you remember how many days were left when it hit 60% off? There's nine days left in Atlanta.

This weekend will probably be the last time you'll see anything decent in the Duluth store. They will probably change the % sometime later this week.

I picked up Bullet Witch (they had 2 copies) for 49.99 - 40% = 29.99

[optimusprime]

I took good advantage of the closing in Buffalo. Got Resistance (PS3) for 25% off, then waited and ended up getting Ridge Racer 7 and Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom each for 50% off.

I would say that if there's something you really want, don't wait past 40%. Thats when all the really good stuff in the Buffalo store really disappeared (I lost out on Virtua Fighter 5 and COD 3 by waiting too long).

[MadFlava]

I saw this happen at my CompUSA. Once the sale hits 50% off games, then hoarders come in and buy everything up. At 40% off, they still had tons of quality titles.

[BrandonMills]

The problem is, most titles are marked up a good 50% beforehand. So that 50% off still leaves you with a worst price than normal.

I couldn't believe they managed to clear out all the old AMD CPUs at my local CompUSA. They were selling them at prices before 2 of the recent price cuts, and they all sold out at about 40% off. What a total ripoff for any idiot dumb enough to buy those.

[ITDEFX]

i stopped by the fairlakes, va one. They cleared out everything. Nothing was left except a few display cases, registers and so on. Looks like people bought whatever was left..either that or they packed up what they had left and shipped it to the MD stores. They had some nice glass display cases but they were sold off. The liquidator, was this old bearded guy with a southern accent wearing the same hat every day told me the minimum he could sell me stuff was 50 dollars or more + tax. WTF?!?!!?

This guy was a no deals liquidator , unlike the cool guy who ran the liquidation of Tower records who you just throw down a price and he sold it to you :) Oh well bye bye overpriced computer store! Watch within 2 years, the rest of the CompUSA's across the nation will shut down and the remaining stores will have BETTER close out sales then these :(

[Techsticles]

Went back to Comp USA saturday in Webster TX. They had a big sign outside that says Closing Clearance 9 days left. (as of 5-5-07)

Most everything was 40-60% off. They had a small selection of 360 games, but none of them were any real amazing bargains. They were all pretty much full MSRP -40%. Titles they had at the time for 360 were Madden 07, NCAA 07, NBA Live 07, Over the Hedge ($12), Just Cause, & a few other crap titles. They also had a small selection of PSP & PS3 titles. I remember seeing about 5 PS3 titles & they were down to about $35 a pop. Remember seeing Gundam for PS3. They also had some 3 month Xbox Live kits with Joust & mics.


The store was really pretty bare. They had several pc titles & prepaid cards mostly for online pc games. They had alot of blank media left, but they prices were full msrp -discount & were not really cheap. I do remember see alot of blank blue ray discs, but never checked the prices. I also remember seeing 1 big screen tv left for about $1300 that was fairly nice looking, but it was being used as a display. They had a couple Tivo units for around $70ish, 1 HD DVD player marked to around $200 which looked nice. They had a ton of old used pcs that were wiped out & priced at $50 as well as several misc pc & entertainment center cables.

They had some DVDs still, but nothing amazing. Most of them were about $5 after the 1/2 off discount. They had a few AMD motherboards & processors & a few car radio kits for I believe Sirius radio. One thing they did seem to have an abundance of was ink carts for Lexmark & HP printers. They had around 10 or so old bulky crt monitors. Really though I wouldn't go expecting to find too much as what was left of the store was all pushed to the middle of the store & looked rather raped over.

I did end up purchasing 2 items, but neither was an amazing buy. I found a sealed Harmony 659 remote for $77, I thought it seamed like a fairly good buy on it, but I ended up paying about $10 more that they were selling for on ebay. I also picked up a 3 Doors Down LE Monster THX/DTS DVD for $5.

If you're going to go there, you better go soon as I'm sure by next weekend most everything will be gone. Ohh yeah & I remember about 10 - 15 360 VGA cables & at least 2 or 3 different copies of Windows Vista.

[Secret Turtle]

Princeton NJ has a sign out front that says "Closed Forever" :-(

[dhelmuth]

This weekend will probably be the last time you'll see anything decent in the Duluth store. They will probably change the % sometime later this week.

I picked up Bullet Witch (they had 2 copies) for 49.99 - 40% = 29.99

Stopped by on my way home from work on Tues. They had already posted the signs for 50-70%, which will be effective Wednesday morning. A lot of the 360 titles were gone already, though a few titles were still left. Condemned, a Bullet Witch, a lot of sports games....

Thanks for the heads up. Saw that on my way home after they closed. Don't know if I can get there before 3 tomorrow, so I hope it's not all gone. Went to Lenox location on my break and found that they are already closed.

Bought a Photoshop CS2 Windows upgrade for 199 - 60% this morning, games and accerrories are 50% off, movies 60% off. Probably getting close to being wiped out game-wise by now. A lot of flash drives left, some Mac software, and a lot of cellphone/iPod accessories...

[jgamezcua]

This clearance has been slow and painful watching great items get picked up at terrible discounts. Was able to finally pick up a handful of decent items once it dropped to 50% discount on games including:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (wii)
Socom Combined Assault
LOTR: BFME II (360)
Condemend (360)
Gun (PSP)
Capcom Puzzle (PSP)
NBA 2K7 (PS3)
PDZ (360)

Zelda was my best find at 50% off.

[FrankieFiero]

Went by Novi, MI at lunch - they had a big sign on the door indicating the markdowns until they close Monday (going by my usually faulty memory here)...
Wed/Thurs 50-70% off
Fri/Sat 60-80% off
Sun 70-90% off
...and on Monday discounts will go up until everything is gone and they close the doors.

Very few games left (PSU for the 360 is $29.99 - 50%, $5+tax more than the Amazon DOTD :P )
Laptops and PCs are 30% off (a few Vaio Lappys in box - everything else is demos).

[shrike4242]

Ran by the Sunset Hills, MO store yesterday, and they were already closed. I'm guessing the other two stores in the St. Louis area should also be closed, though I'll need to try and check the other two stores today.

[TehTriggerman]

Thanks for the local MI update..im closer to the Sterling Heights store..I hope I can sqeeze in some kind of decent deal out of this. Ive done better with YMMV manager sales Thus far.

One in downtown Atlanta surprisingly closed, but another one on the perimeter is still open (I don't know about the others) and they were on the same % off progression as recently as last week so it's worth a shot if you think they'll have something. I know in the past they had shipped clearanced games to other stores in the area, so maybe they shipped the rest of the stuff to another store this time, too.

The Duluth, Atlanta store had the exact same schedule posted. Crappy movies at 60%, PC games were 50 or 60%, still had some games, I think mostly cause they're not price tagged. I did pick up Condemned (15), Need for Speed Most Wanted (15) and Just Cause (20). I knew I'd miss NBA2k7, darn it. They had more (360) NFSMW, King Kong, Ridge Racer, Madden 07, NCAA Football 07, Live Arcade (xbox) thrillville, just cause, madden 07, ncaa 07 (football and basketball). That's all I can remember, but if you ask about a specific game I'll probably remember (except for DS or PSP).

Parsippany NJ is closed. East Hanover NJ (well, the one on route 10) and Totowa NJ will close on Monday. Nothing too exciting at either.

Sterling Heights MI stores is CLOSED. Ah well. I hope something good replaces that store, That used to be a Kmart until that went under as well. Thats strip mall never did do well. :cry:

Braintree, MA store is closed. ( Found out after traveling there on the red line. bummer. :/ )

Brighton, MA store is closing soon. I think this weekend is the last chance you'll have at it. All console games are long gone.

[daria19]

king of prussia, pa store will be closing monday and is at the 60-68% discount level. PC games and movies at 70%. Most movies are $3, lots of copies of final fantasy movie but at $6. Not many console games left (many more pc games at this point), but they are 60% off. Some 360 accessories/360 monster cables.

Computers all gone (except for some junky ancient computers). Couple of tv stands left. Lots of monster cables left plus other random accessories. GPS's gone. Few cheap satellite radios left.

[rgtss]

CompUSA as a whole is going to end up going under and you'll see Circuit City follow suit. Basically speaking Best Buy's "instant rebates" are murdering both and you might well see other regional chains die as well. A friend (loosely) of mine was an assistant regional manager for Circuit City (he now works for Macys). He told me nearly 6-8 months back that CompUSA was dead and CC will follow. Basically some "third parties" are responsible for the Best Buy rebate ability. In other words instead of Best Buy investing your rebate dough drawing interest the "rebate dough" comes from third parties though he refused to mention from where when I asked.

The instant rebates are far more attractive to customers thus for the items where CC and CompUSA can make real money they are unable to compete. Video games do not make these places real money in comparison to most other forms of merchandise. Gamestop for example will actually make more money reselling used recent releases than they do nearly anything else in the stores. From what I heard about Gamestop they are concerned now that the aquisition of EB Games may well result in both ending up dead and out of business. MANY (many) people who shopped at EB are now shopping online as "the deals" pretty much went out the window. I was at a EB last week where I have known the manager for years. I asked "Where have all the specials gone" (I only shopped at Gamestop basically for those "Reg/Green Tag" specials, 20% off, 30% etc.) and EB games had them show up after GS aquired them.

He told me that all the "Tag Specials" have been done away with and that GS aquiring EB Games has resulted in stymied competition where consumers will now shop online and places like Best Buy, Target etc. for new releases. Basically rather than going to EB or Gamestop where you might have bought a new release and checked out some discounted or used/closeout people are no longer doing so. Guess time will tell on this one.

[depascal22]

No. They're even less profitable than GS or CC. This will mean death to deals. Best Buy will leave games at full price longer since there will be less competition to drive prices down.

[Gamerguy]

Circuit City is actually on the rebound around here (Jacksonville, FL) whereas Best Buy has lost quite a bit of business. They've built one new Circuit City and renovated another in the past year, and they always have better deals.

The two CompUSAs in town are both rather shitastic, though, and they always have been. I mean "shitastic" not only in terms of prices, but the stores literally smell like shit too.

I find it hard to believe circuit city is going to follow the paths of circuit city. Besides, comp usa was easyy to see as a business to go under eventually. It doesn't take a regional manager to figure that out.

Came from the Edison, nj one, 3 days left and its up to 80% off there now (gaming is 60% off) but not much left really worth it but i got lucky on getting loco roco and gunpey for psp from there.
