Does this mean I can PM my reserves (for both versions) from Best Buy @ $23.99 - $5.00 (deposit) - $.60 (10% of the difference) = $18.39??? :bouncy:

[eau]

Yeah, speedy. Your avatar reminds of the Albedo's severed head scene with MOMO in Xenosaga I :)

[newtype06]

still no mega man zx next week?

[rly723]

why doesnt Super Smash Bros. ever drop in price?? everywhere its at least 29.99 for a couple yrs now. i find it hard to believe its hasnt made platinum choice yet

[deadite76]

Thanks Speedy!!

[Enemy15]

Thanks Speedy!!

[wolverinefactor]

Sweet price on Pokemon Dungeon DS. Going to be grabing it for sure.

[speedy1961]

Not so far......

Pssst.

Speedy, there's a few of us that know games out here. ;)

Oh that I know. Very knowledgeable group here. :applause:

[Kenshin9]

Man... Bummer I was hoping that Okami would show up for this weeks set of ads...

[Apossum]

It made platinum choice, but they kept the $29.99 price. I guess it still sells well.

I wonder how many copies of the game have sold worldwide.

[trunks982]

POKEMON is tempting.... hmm....

6.1 million shipped worldwide.

[Dead of Knight]

They actually put Cooking Mama in an ad? Wow.

[awp]

So no one is advertising the Xbox Live Vison camera? I thought that was supposed to be out 9/19 as well.

[SaraAB]

Looks i will be trying to recover my 5$ preorder on pokemon mysterious dungeon at target, and will be driving to CC in hopes that they have some in stock.

[PenguinoMF]

Thanks Speedy.

Anyone think Flatout 2 is worth 27.99?

[psunami]

I might pick up Pokemon for the DS at CC and use a GGC there to knock it down to $19.

Thanks.

[Roufuss]

If only Pokemon Mystery Dungeon was at BB for that price, I'd get it for sure with a GGC. Not going through the hassle though of trying to get a PM and a GGC... the price is ok, it's only $1 cheaper than a GGC so I'm going to pass on it for now.

TRU puts Nintendo 1st party DS games on a buy 2 get 1 free often enough that I am waiting for that to get stuff like Mario Hoops, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and other stuff. They should be having one pretty soon, and it usually includes current DS games.

I want Harvest Moon but eh, I don't know, might pass on it and hope for a price drop.

Maybe I'll throw down a GGC and get Cooking Mama for $14.99, that sounds about right.

[polly]

Cool, I'm kinda interested in getting TopSpin 2 for 360 for $25 after GGC. Anybody know if it's good?

[getmyrunon]

You can download the demo and see for yourself but I think it's a pretty fun game for $25, if you're a tennis fan. I'm GGCless, and I'm considering getting it at $30.

[CaoPi]

Smash Bros for 29.99? nothing special about that when is Nintendo going to drop that MSRP to 19.99?

[Ender]

Smash Bros for 29.99? nothing special about that when is Nintendo going to drop that MSRP to 19.99?

They already did, or at least many places are selling it for $19.99. Namely Wal-mart.

[mrcheapo11]

Oh man, I already preordered Pokemon at Target and it would be too much trouble to bother with canceling it and buying it at CC. Of course, it is better than EB/GS who are selling it for $35, like StarFox Command, they should really stick to the MSRP.

[RaPtOrsIII]

$14.99 cooking mama for me

[paintballers]

Nothing for me

[Scholarly_Sam]

I'll have to download the demo of Top Spin to see if its worth it. The first one was great, but I heard the one on Xbox 360 was worse.

Waaaaah! EB/GS is selling it for $35? I preordered it there to get the trade-in bonus, but now I'm having serious second thoughts.

[anomynous]

Meh no deals on The Godfather, thanks for posting though

[chickenhawk]

Nothing for me, but thanks for the early ads!

[mcgavin27]

Nothing for this week but thanks!

[Mezmoron]

Pokemon for DS will be only $23.99 at launch at Circuit City? Let me know asap if that's right so I can halt my EB preorder and get one at CC. Thanks!

[WiiDSmoker]

does BB still have GGC...I can't find them, i think..where should I be looking at?

[JohnnyDrama]

nothing for me, but thanks speedy!

[VidgamesgivemeA_D_D]

Cool, I'm kinda interested in getting TopSpin 2 for 360 for $25 after GGC. Anybody know if it's good?

I hated it. Was one of the first games I bought for the 360 as I loved the first one. It's hard to explain but they just sucked all of the fun out of it somehow. Should of stuck to the Virtua Tennis ripoff format. But maybe you'll find it different, but I doubt it.

[SaraAB]

An ebgames/gamestop preorder should be easy to recover, just transfer the credit to something else, and explain that they are very overpriced in the process. You could always use it to buy cooking mama at the normal 19.99 price, or any other game that is normally priced.

A target preorder should be easy to recover as well, just go up to the service desk and hand them the preorder reciept and 5$ coupon. They should be able to just scan the reciept and give you your 5$ back like they do with returns for a normal item.

Does anyone know what best buy's price match policy is in full, because if circuit city doesnt have these in stock it will give me another alternative, i probably wouldnt bother trying to GGC it with the price match but for 23.99 its worth it to try and get it at that price, as its about a 12$ savings since i am buying both games.

Also will any other store pricematch a CC ad, like toys r us or target, because the toys r us is right next to the CC its even in the same plaza.

Target dosen't PM at all, and neither does TRU.

Best Buy just requires the ad to PM, sometimes they will call, they never do here, because getting CC on the phone is impossible.

I also wanted to point out that I thought it was funny that you wouldn't bother with a GGC ($5) savings but that extra $1 you're saving on each Pokemon is making you go that extra effort ;) It's the fact that saving that extra $1 dosen't mean alot to me and if I ever want the game, i'll just GGC it.

I do the miss the days of Best Buy putting new release DS games on sale, though.

[SaraAB]

All the stores here used to put games on sale, target, kmart you name it, now it seems that all the stores just advertise for the msrp price or potentially higher (ebgames anyone?). I remember buying the original pokemon red and blue for something like 21.99 at kmart back in the day and pokemon gold and silver for like 23.99 or 24.99, scored pokemon crystal for 24.99 at toys r us as well, now game sales when a game first comes out are few and far between.

The exta 1$ doesnt phase me its just that i need to find the games for 23.99 which is a decent savings from 29.99 (especially since i am buying both games) which is the lowest price i will be able to get them for, so at least i have 2 choices now, cc and best buy, although i seriously doubt they will run out of games here. I barely ever shop at our best buy (worst buy anyone??), so i have no idea how they work price adjustments and i dont know where they keep the ggc's or even if they carry them, or what they even look like. BTW best buy and cc are only a few min from each other for me so either store would be fine for me.

Its amazing that ebgames is marking the games up a full 11$ on the competition, and i thought the 5$ markups were bad enough!

[Roufuss]

Speedy, does Cooking Mama have a release date or anything next to its name? The BB my girlfriend works at can't even find it in their computers at all, so I'm starting to doubt it will be there Sunday =/

[sonderiaom]

If anyone is interested, I looked in the computers today at Costco and found that the DS version of Pokemon is $26.99. So to say the least I'll be buying it at CC.

[Fire]

Cooking Mama is out next week?

Actually, on sites I've looked on just now it says it should have been released stateside ont he 12th. I haven't seen this game anywhere and I've wanting it forever. Just totally snuck up on me.

[Fire]

does BB still have GGC...I can't find them, i think..where should I be looking at?

They should be restocking. A bunch of stores in my area didn't have for the longest time, except the brand new store way out in the middle of nowhere, but the regular stores have been getting some.

I just found it at Best Buy today, they got it in late afternoon and it was still in the back, so it'll definitely be there Sunday.

$16.04 after GGC works for me.

[viewtiful7]

Where's Okami?

No deals I'll be taking up.

[Nephilim]

Speedy RULZ the ROXOR!!
ahem.
thanks Speedy.

No date listed.

Just a little blue circle on top of the game stating: NEW.

[RussellmaniaKW]

Got Company of Heroes today at CC with the $10 Gift Card bonus. Not a bad deal, as I can now hang on to the Gift Card until I pick up Okami (most likely). Thanks CAGers!

P.S.
Did anyone else get COH? God Damn this game is sweet!

P.P.S.
I saw Cooking Mama at both Bestbuy here in Tallahassee as well as the local Gamestop.

[twanky]

Where's Okami?

No deals I'll be taking up.

Yeah, doesn't seem like there's any deals on Okami, is there?

[speedy1961]

Okami first appears in the Best Buy ad for 9/24 - 9/30/06

[Drakken]

Just letting everyone know that both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are back in stock for $23.99 at circuitycity.com:

Blue Rescue Team (DS) (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Pokemon-Mystery-Dungeon-Blue-Rescue-Team-Nintendo-DS-trade/sem/rpsm/oid/157080/catOid/-13223/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)

[SaraAB]

I bought my pokemon mysterious dungeon ds game at Circuit city last night, they did not have many copies of each game left so if your going to a B&M store to get it you might want to go soon.

I bought the gba version at TRU so i could get the free case with it, its nice because i FINALLY found some cases for ds games with that set.

Also the only place i could find the official nintendo power strategy guide was at gamestop/ebgames, usually TRU has them but they did not, circuit city did not have them either. Oh and after going to 3 stores i did not even see one single copy of cooking mama.

[newtype06]

i didn't see Dragon Quest Heroes at my local BB. hope this game isn't that hard to find....

[topnotch97]

I do the miss the days of Best Buy putting new release DS games on sale, though.

yeah, like they slash like $5 off the $30 price. nowadays, just go ahead with the GCC.

you don't see those anymore, including other stores. the only store that does that recently was Fry's with Megaman ZX.
