I don't know if this deal is nationwide or what but tonight I went to the Target in Hadley, MA and La Pucelle Tactics was only $19.99. I did a complete double take when I saw it.

My Target has about 3 copies left. I know there are some other CAGs in this area. Hurry and pick it up! :)

EDIT: I AM THE LORD OF ALL THAT IS CHEAP ASS GAMING

can you confirm if its a temporary price cut?

Damnit, I need to check this out but I can't leave my house for a couple of days because of my injury. I really want to pick this game up.

EndlessChris

It was not a temporary price cut. The price tag below it on the shelf read something like "Sony SFT La Pucelle Tactics, $19.99"

Man, this is my first great deal find. I'm so proud of myself.

this is possibly a regional reduction. I checked my target last saturday and la pucelle was still 49.99. Can anyone confirm this in the Southeast?

why not just call, and tell them to scan the price? if your a true cheapass, save the gas mileage.

Oh wow i think i know the stickers you are talking about... last time i checked La Pucelle it had that sticker on but was retailing for 49.88 or something like that =\. DEFINITELY WILL CHECK TONIGHT! I'll post my findings later on.

DAMN! I don't think I've ever talked to or met anyone that has ever actually been jumped, let alone had their FACE BROKEN. Well, that's two things I can mark off my "things to do before I die" list. All kidding aside, I hope you get better soon!

06-28-2004, 08:23 PM
Damn, my Target is in MA also, so if it's regional, they should have it. I'll have to go tomorrow even though I already have the game. Sealed copy, CAG trading, and eBay here we come!

What does "regional" exactly mean? Does it mean East coast etc. Or do you mean by state?

It's right next to Amherst. Sucks that this deal doesn't seem to be nationwide though. I guess I'm just lucky as hell.

Well I can confirm the Bloomington, IN store has La Pucelle for $20. I picked it up while I was there to get a print cartridge, I was gonna start a thread but I've clearly been beaten. Anyhow there were 4 left in the stock after mine.

Also got Golden Sun: LA for $10...there was only one left after mine.

fieldkillah
06-28-2004, 09:47 PM
2 left as of 8:30. Thanks for posting this, I've wanted this game and for 20 i couldn't pass it up. Its also nice to know there are other CAGers in the area.

CaseyRyback
06-28-2004, 09:49 PM
guess I just need to keep checking mine

suprsaiyanMAX
06-28-2004, 09:55 PM
Huh...that's awesome fieldkillah, i always wondered why some I miss out on so many cheap ass deals around here. Guess there are more CAGers around than I thought. And yeah I'd keep checking, as mentioned before it was a normal price tag, not clearence or temporary cut, so chances are it will eventually reach everywhere I would think.

droidekaspam
06-28-2004, 09:55 PM
confirmed in washington state that its still 49.99 everywhere i called.

Thanks for the WA info. I bought it for $39.99 at the Renton Fry's when it came out about a month ago. I was about to shit a brick if it dropped that fast. I usually don't buy games until they get to $30 or less, but I figured La Pucelle wasn't going to drop in price that fast.

Also, did people have the Target employees scan the tag, it may ring up at 20.

Just bought one from Target San Mateo , CA. It show $49.99 but when I ask the store person to check , it rang up $19.99. About 3 left.

It's targets description for the game

207-department (i think)
12-Playstation 2
0868-Specific game code

The employees at my target are pretty cool, so I don't make them do all my price checks, I look at the number on the code and punch it in on the scanner.

I have 207 and 12 in my head, I'll never forget them now.

I just went to South bay target on Saturday, La Pucelle was still $50, but I didn't bother to get it rung up.

If it really is $20, I'm gonna be a real cheapass and try to combine it with my 49% True Crime raincheck,

You guys need to get them to scan it. LA Pucelle is/was $19.99 at both Cental Coast Califorina Targets. Or better yet scan it yourself.

UPC 859292000034

UPC: 859292000034

Enter the UPC # at that website, print out the Barcode, and scan it at your local Target.

There's no reason for it not to show up at $19.99...I believe sales like this are nationwide...Could be wrong, but good luck anyways.

Marked and scanned at 49.99 in Springfield, MO. Here's a question, is it possible for the item to ring up as one amount in the customer price-scanner thing (note I only punched in the SKU code, I didn't actually scan) and then ring up differently at the register when actually purchasing it? If I remember right, there was a case like this at Toys R Us where a game rang differently when purchasing. Anybody?

punqsux
06-29-2004, 11:01 AM
ok this deal is NOT regional, its store to store. i went to 1 store and it was priced 50, and rang at 50, but i decided to check another, just 10 mins away, and it was priced 50 but rang 20.

if anyone was picking me up one please help out another cag, but its appreciated ^^

As far as Raleigh goes, I called the one off Glenwood, it's $50. But I was dumb and didn't ask them to scane it. I'm on the phone w/ the Cary store now...

and he scanned it as $50.

I'm going to call to Garner soon, but probably same story. If anyone can confirm Glenwood that'd rock.

Today i went back to the same target and sure enough it scanned as 19.99. There are 2 COPIES LEFT. Also you can get a raincheck for harvest Moon: Camecube for 26.88.

Vadnais Heights, MN (? - off 35E on County Road E) Target has it for $19.99. It's marked $49.99, but I went in with a UPC. I love being informed! The clerk who rang me up did a double take, checked the game tag, checked the receipt, and looked utterly confused. Sorry though fellow CAGers, I snagged the last one.

I am going to check another Target later today and I'll post if it's there too.

Details. Well I don't think I should just go so off topic in this thread, but I will probably make an off-topic topic about it. Also to be on topic I guess I better check the other Targets in my town to see if Tatics rings up for $19.99.

Regarding Target in Cary--
Good news--the UPC iI printed from that barcode site scanned at 19.99.
Good news--when I asked him to scan the game itself, it scanned at 19.99, even though the shelf tag said 49.99.
Bad news [for everyone but me]--I got the last one on the shelf. Would have picked up 2 to share the wealth, but there was only one. They may of course have more in the back or whatnot, but no more on the shelf as of about 40 minutes ago.
They may have just looked at the price on the shelf to give you the 'scanned price.'
Oh yeah--and thanks to the OP for this deal. 20 bucks [21.79 or so after Taxman gets his hands out of my pocket] is a no brainer.

I really hate when I buy a game full price and 3 weeks later it's $30 cheaper!
I can confirm that Target in Marlton NJ has it for $19.99, and there's 2 copies left, for anyone in South Jersey that wants this great game for a cheap price.

Congrats on that, dtcarson. Oh, the excruciating pain of having to sit here at work while there are Targets to be checked!

dtcarson
06-29-2004, 01:28 PM
If still have your original receipt, buy the new copy at 19.99 then return it unopened with your old receipt.
And the sales droid at my Target didn't bat an eye when it rung up at 19.99. I had to ask him to get it out, even though I was standing there and looking very intently in the game rack. I said 'Can I see a game?' 'Which game?' 'La Pucelle.' "WHAT?" Um, La Pucelle Tactics, this one right here *point*.
Ichabod--thanks :) 90% of the time I either miss the deal, can't afford it, or they're out of stock, so it's nice to get in on one of these low-availability/high-demand/great markdown deals.
I'm lucky, I have a pretty flexible lunch hour, so while I can't go gallivanting across the country side, I can at least hit my local Target/Walmart/bestbuy during lunch.

I did get another copy for my neice, she just got a PS2 and will probably love this game.

Got two copies at N. Attleboro, MA. Still 2-3 copies left. I got one for myself to keep sealed (since I already got the game) and the other for any CAG who will pay 20.99 (sales tax in MA) + however much it costs to ship it, including the box and wrapping. PM me if interested.

EDIT: SOLD'd

Just got mine in Denver, CO target. Tag on shelf says 49.99 but rang up at 19.99. I called in advance and they first told me it was 50. I asked them to scan it and they thought I was from Wal Mart or another competitor so were reluctant to do so. I told him I want to purchase the game if the price was 20. He scanned it finally and it was $20. Glad i called first. Just had my wife pick it up for me with Southpark season 4. Being i didn't pick it up, i'm not sure how many copies are left. Thanks for posting this deal endless chris. Nice find.

Have you other folks in Raleigh ever had any luck at Ed McKay's? I've only been there once in the past couple years, went to the one next to Buy Rite [Hey! Why doesn't someone go check there?] and didn't have any luck for anything. And between joining book clubs and the Wake Country Library Book Sale, I can't make myself buy new or lightly-used books anymore.
And the fact that McKay's is about 40 minutes from me....
Anyway, good luck to all : )

Ed McKay's is fuckin awesome. I got Mega Man X2 and X3 for 20 bucks total and Secret of Mana before for 7. I usually pick up guides from there for cheap as well, got RE:Outbreak, Paper Mario, and FFTA guides for 12 total.

Newer stuff has crappy prices, but SNES and Genesis stuff is priced pretty cheap.

I'm a sucker for used book stores. I've never had much use for their used games though. As Casey said, the newer ones are typically overpriced. So overpriced, in fact, that they are usually more expensive used there than new elsewhere. However, the older games and the game guides are definitely worth checking out!

I do love used book stores, just browsing in them. There was this big-ass one over on Capital that I used to love to go to. Always started sneezing, though, from all the dust.
And Jackson Street Books in Athens, GA, was excellent as well...creaky floors, high shelves, great atmosphere, and some great rarities.
I currently go to Lazy Lion in Fuquay-Varina. It's closer to me, and the owners are real friendly, and I've built up almost a hundred bucks in trade credit.
Have you guys been to the library's book sale? It's chaotic, but any bookstore I can go to seems anticlimactic after that. Depends also on what you're into, of course.

I'm not really in the market for SNES/Gen games, so that might be part of it. Last time I was there, I did browse them, to see if I had any rarities, and I was pretty impressed with their prices on those.

i checked at two targets (15 mile and van dyke in sterling heights; gratiot at about 14 1/2 in clinton township). both stores had the game ring up at 19.99, but only the store in sterling heights had one. just one. which i bought. so now they have zero.

Think about it. This game is for hardcore gamers. I don't think that is the typical game-purchaser at Target (besides us looking for clearence or rain check games). Most people purchasing a game at Target are parents or casual gamers. Thus, Target probably sold 0 of these before this deal so they are bailing and clearencing them out right away. Just my opinion, but it makes sense to me.

Yeah, I picked up a couple of games at the one in LIC. The only thing they had at the one on QB was the Star Wars game. Totally not worth it.

Technically, continuity wise, this game comes before Disgaea. But it wasnt released until after Disgaea because that one was considered the better and more refined game. When it turned out there was a market for it, La Pucelle got released. If you enjoy these, be on the lookout for the next in the "series", Phantom Brave.

Okay, here's what I've been told. A target employee (Springfield, MO) claims that La Pucelle has been set up in their system incorrectly. The UPC label on the back is linked to the incorrect "Target code" (207120868). He said they're still marked in their inventory at $49.99, though, and would not sell one to me at the $19.99 price. He'd give me one for $49.99, though. :P

The reason I thought my Target had it for $49.99 is because the price tag underneath La Pucelle (for $49.99) must have had a different Target code than what the UPC brings up when scanned. I bet that the game will ring up as $19.99 at every Target, nationwide, because I imagine this UPC "error" is in effect everywhere.

Was the game in the glass case or out in the other shelf that's open? If it wasn't in the glass case, try to take it to a regular register (non electronics dept register) and a regular cashier probably won't know about the error.

That's kinda the same thing I've been told "about the UPC error). If this is indded a UPC error, it'll be fixed soon, so get in on it while you can! I'm holding one hostage for trade, if anyone wants it.

I don't understand - why would it be BS? If their computers mark it as $20, and an employee needs to update the prices on the games, he wouldn't stick a $50 tag on it. So of course your tags are marked as $20.

Okay, here's what I've been told. A target employee (Springfield, MO) claims that La Pucelle has been set up in their system incorrectly. The UPC label on the back is linked to the incorrect "Target code" (207120868). He said they're still marked in their inventory at $49.99, though, and would not sell one to me at the $19.99 price. He'd give me one for $49.99, though. :P

The reason I thought my Target had it for $49.99 is because the price tag underneath La Pucelle (for $49.99) must have had a different Target code than what the UPC brings up when scanned. I bet that the game will ring up as $19.99 at every Target, nationwide, because I imagine this UPC "error" is in effect everywhere.

Sounds like your Target is BS'ing

I just stopped by Target (in Chattanooga, TN) on my way home from work, and got La Pucelle for $19.99! I wasn't going to buy any video games for awhile (I guess I should stop visiting CAG for awhile!), but this deal was too good to pass up.

Thanks for posting this.

Forgot to mention that it looked like there were at least 3 or 4 copies left, but I didn't really get a good look at them. May be even more.

I'm really living the cheapassgamer lifestyle lately.. picked up Sonic Mega Collection & GTA: Vice City for $15.09 each last week, and now La Pucelle. Somebody keep me off this site!

Big props to Endless Chris...

Springfield gamers- I went to Target on Primrose at ~2, no copies left. Drove over to Joplin (yup) and picked it up for 19.99. There's one copy left there if anyone is looking to drive that far...

If anyone still has any fears or doubts that this game sale is fake, well put them to rest. I just talked to my informantt (actually a guy that works at target) and he told me that this game is indeed 19.99 and no UPC error. when I went to my Target, it e3ven had a sticker saying it was 19.99. He also said that they are the only company that has reduced its prices on it. Man CAG's been having some great deals lately from their, really gotta get more cash now. I picked up every copy :)

That was the same BS that I got from Target in South Sacramento/Consumnes River, CA , they ring it up as $20 but another employee butted in kept on saying this is $50. They would not sell it to me, I went to another Target and they had no problems selling it for $20. I really should have bitched to the manager about it, but whatever I got the game anyways elsewhere.

They would not sell it to me, I went to another Target and they had no problems selling it for $20. I really should have bitched to the manager about it, but whatever I got the game anyways elsewhere.

An update on my situation: I called up a manager and explained my problem. After he talked to the electronics manager he called me back, backing the electronics guy's story that it was a UPC error, Target's cost on the game was $30, but he'd be willing to sell to me at $30.

I went in, planning to buy a copy or 2 at $30 and then try to return and repurchase them for $20 in a couple days. Well, before I go talk to this manager, I punch the La Pucelle Target code into the scanner, and it showed up at $19.99. Now, I had done the same thing last night and this morning, and it showed $49.99 then. It was not a UPC error -- I thought, if that excuse was legit, that scanning the UPC would point to another Target code. Not the case.

I showed the manager how La Pucelle ran up for $20 in the scanner, and explained that it didn't last night -- however unlikely since they're taking a loss, it's definitely a price drop. He sold me two of them without any more hassle.

As of 3 this afternoon, the Target on Wendover in Greensboro, NC had 2 left, and they were ringing up at $20. The Target on Lawndale in Greensboro had 3 in stock, but I wasn't able to check the price because I didn't have to time to play hide and seek with the employees.

I would stil reccomend getting in on it while you can. Even if it is a price drop and not an error, they won't last long at that price. I'm also sure that once they're gone, they're gone if they're trying to clearance it. Hopefully the value will keep up so I can ebay it in a month(if I don't trade it off).

I went tonight and there was nothing. It dpeends on when you go and if anyone before you cleaned them out. They do have some good games for cheap, but nothing all that rare(Super Ghouls and Ghosts for 3.00, Yoshis Island for 5.00 and a couple others)

if you go to the Target on Green Raod there were a couple of copies left after I got two

is no other store besides target dropping the price on this game? for everyone that checked the price on la pucelle, was the yellow price tag marked at 19.99? if so, that should be a permanent price. if it was on a special tag that says "temporary price cut" or something else along those lines, then the markdown is unfortunately limited.

wasn't la pucelle released a long time ago? as a target employee, i picked up several copies of this, hoping that it would be an error in my favor, but is it possible that 20 might be the going price on this game now? i really hope not.

When I went to go buy the game, the employee acted like a smartass saying, "dude, the price is right there. I'm pretty sure that how much it is." I insisted that he still checked it despite his bitchy attitude.

They were $19.99 and there were about 2 left over at a Las Vegas Target on the east side of town.
