[shrike4242]

Wow, I didn't think Target could be any weaker sauce than they've been the last couple of weeks. Wow. :-s

[speedy1961]

I myself said Peeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[Doylerulez]

Thanks Speedy, glad I won't be missing much when I'm out of town that week, at Target at least.

[JohnnyDrama]

awesome, thanks Speedy

[speedy1961]

awesome, thanks Speedy


Thanks for the kind words you made in regards to me in the other thread JD!

It IS appreciated.

[botticus]

Too bad I already have Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Cooking Mama, good deals on both those ($12.79 + tax).

[nasum]

finally a good excuse to pick up choking mama and the brain games.

[speedy1961]

Those two already have the discount applied my friend so it would 2 x $15 + tax.

[bobthecat23]

wat no winning eleven for cc or target wtf damn i guess america hates the best sport in the world.

[fairtrade]

Sweet FFVI for GBA is coming out soon. One of my fav games ever. To wait for a sale or use a GGC? Hmm... :bouncy:

[CaoPi]

nada at BB yet wonder if there's anything good...

[bobthecat23]

hey speedy no winning eleven 2k7 in cc

[gators625]

Dang! Looks like stores are going to wait until the week of the 12th to sell Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007. Hopefully BestBuy will come to the rescue (with my BB giftcard).

[withe011]

Thanks very much Speedy! You're ads are always very helpful! I guess it's time to just break down and buy Rainbow Six Vegas at retail :(

[Ranger Rick]

Thanks Speedy. Might pick up brain age...

[anderton]

Wait wait wait - there's going to be a Diddy Kong Racing on the DS and I didn't know?!

[Blade70]

Wait wait wait - there's going to be a Diddy Kong Racing on the DS and I didn't know?!
Yes! Online multi-player too!:D

[anomynous]

Thanks Speedy

[Flying PJ]

FIFA for $8? Hell yeah.
Thanks speedy!

[bobthecat23]

i might get fifa for 8 bucks and waight a week for pro evo

[guido_anchovy_9]

It's been a while since I've seen a DS in an ad. Did CC have a minimum number of DSs per store in the ad?

[Vegan]

Nice work, Circuit City, discounting $20 dollar games an additional 4 dollars. But aren't all $20 games $5 off at Best Buy every day? wink wink

"Get a Free Ghirardelli Chocolate bar with the purchase of ANY game $29.99 or HIGHER"

Great, that's JUST what the average gamer needs.

[franchise01]

Thanks, Speedy. Cooking Mama, here I come.

[kevzik]

The above is true, but what about CC clearence bins with games priced low as it is already. Tell me, can you get "Just Cause" or Monster Rancher Evo at BB for 13.6x ???

[NolbertoS]

Thx speedy.

[Kromis]

Does the "save 20% on ALL games $19.99" mean that I can get classic Battlefield 2 for only ~$16??!?!

[XboxHardcore.com]

Thanks. I await the BB and CC ads. :)

[speedy1961]

It's been a while since I've seen a DS in an ad. Did CC have a minimum number of DSs per store in the ad?

None listed.

[speedy1961]

hey speedy no winning eleven 2k7 in cc

No sorry....

[gunm]

Hm, $15 DS games are tempting. Thx Speedy...

That's news to me about $19.99 games being 5 bucks off every day at Best Buy. Are you saying this because of the GCC? They don't always have those there, not at my Best Buy anyway. Seems like they have less less of those cards there all the time!

[Maxspeed1997]

Thanks Speedy!

[MrNEWZ]

Speedy rocks, as always. CC's 20% off should be helpful for the games that might be discounted there that you can't get the $5 coupon for at Best Buy (ends 1/31)

He's referring to the Gamepro $5 coupon, which is posted on this main board. I haven't bough a game *AT* Best Buy without the coupon since it posted. :-D

[MadFlava]

wat no winning eleven for cc or target wtf damn i guess america hates the best sport in the world.

Yeah, I think I'll have trouble finding this game at launch. Once I preordered it at Ebgames and they didn't get it until like a month after release. By then I bought it at TRU on day after release day. Not sure if I should just order it from Amazon. At least I know my copy will eventually get into my hands.

[guido_anchovy_9]

None listed.

Bummer. Thanks for all the info, though. You always do us a great service with the initial info and following up with answering questions ASAP.

[guynextshore]

Cooking Mama for 15? Nice.
Thanks Speedy!

[Dkellar]

Free chocolate? Interesting....Would of been awesome if some store offered a free hot pocket if a person purchased WoW: Burning Crusade!

[MysterD]

Would've been better if WoW didn't have a subscription fee! :P

[Cursor]

Wow, I didn't think Target could be any weaker sauce than they've been the last couple of weeks. Wow. :-s

President's Day is coming up--I expect some decent deals that weekend.

[wEEman33]

PC Madden '07 for $8 is about what it's worth to me for the wider pool of online players and marginally improved game package in comparison to '06 (which I paid $6 for about this same time last year).

[Scobie]

Thanks, Speedy! You're a real CAG Hero!

Just too bad about the sales being weak. I'm holding out for a 39.99 sale on Wario Ware Smooth Moves. :)

[sabo]

ok, so.....let me get this straight. Does this "20% off all games 19.99 or less" apply to those "clearanced" out 16.96 games as well......if so I might have to make a trip. Sorry if this question is a bit obvious to others.

[snakelda]

thanks speedy!!!

[rgon86]

Okay, there's a FF VII on GBA at Best Buy?! Dude, I am FREAKING OUT HERE!!!

[GenDV138]

Nothing that interests me this week but thanks again for the ads, Speedy!

Okay, there's a FF VII on GBA at Best Buy?! Dude, I am FREAKING OUT HERE!!!

I think he made a typo, probably meant to put FF VI for GBA.

[botticus]

Too bad none of the listed GBA/DS games are sale prices, or I might go for that $10 gift card offer. Thanks speedy.

[chair_home]

Hmm, Diddy Kong Racing and FF VI Advance = $10 gift card? Tempting....

[seanr1221]

Nothing for me at any store, but thanks for posting speedy.

[lordwow]

Thanks Speedy, not sure I'll grab anything this week.

[bobthecat23]

wow still no winning eleven 2k7

[Kendro]

Finally a good time to use my $10 RZ coupon. I'll pick up FFV and FFVI, use 2 GGC and the RZ coupon, than go back and use the $10 gift card and another GGC to get Hotel Dusk. Win-win I say.

Dunno if you just typo'd, but FFV is not part of the $10 GC deal.

[rlse9]

They don't allow combining the GGC with the $10 GC deal, correct?

[shrike4242]

They don't allow combining the GGC with the $10 GC deal, correct?
Depends on how they ring out the GC. In the past, these "buy X, get Y for free" deals usually work with the GGC or other coupons, though if they're deducting $5 from each game to cover the $10 GC, then it might not.

You'd have to try it and see what happens.

[sokmaster]

Oh cool, didnt know that FFVI was coming out... I have yet to play my FFV!

[KingHomer]

Thanks Speedy, always appreciated. Looking forward to (hopefully) some Crackdown deals

[thebob101]

ROK AUN, Speedy

[Desiboi1992]

thanx for the pre-update :)


I want my wii..

[MadFlava]

Damn I wish they advertised Winning Eleven. I guess I'll have to get this game online since I have no idea if the stores will be carrying it next week.

[wampa8jedi]

*sigh* really wish there was a deal on Rogue Galaxy....

[gators625]

Damn I wish they advertised Winning Eleven. I guess I'll have to get this game online since I have no idea if the stores will be carrying it next week.

I asked a guy at BestBuy the other day when they were getting Winning Eleven. He looked it up on the computer, and it said it would arrive in stores on the 13th.

[Cedrock15]

no price for Winning eleven soccer game, weeeak

[bobthecat23]

well anyway im gonna get winning eleven at gamestop i traded some games with the coupon from gameinformer

[Pharrell1]

Madden 07 7.99 for PC, Sweet sweet deal couldn't have come at a better time for me.

[Josef]

FYI, there are a bunch of sub-$20 games on CC's website that are 20% off. Oddly enough, not every game under $20 is 20% off (Lumines II is still $19.99, etc).

[der-k]

The 20% seems to apply to other games below 19.99, I got some 9.99 games for 7.99. Also I managed to find Kingdom Hearts:COM for 19.99(15.99) and Shadow of Colossus.

[Dinosauce]

Yup, seems all games 19.99 or less get the 20% discount.

I picked up Tekken 5, been looking for a right time to pick that up. This is a good enough price for me :]

[PleasantOne]

Ok, so has anyone been to BB and gotten the $10 gift card deal AND used GGC? AND, do you guys think that new Game Pro coupon starting the 10th would work with the $10 gift card? and would I get $5 off EACH game by using that coupon? I know no one has used the new coupon yet, but how did the old coupon work?

I won't bite for $5 off each game, but if I can get $10 off both DKR and FF VI, I'm there :)

I did manage to use the $10 off $29.99 off any PC game GamePro coupon with the AoE 3: The War Chiefs that had the free gift card from last week. The register automatically put up the gift card (at $0.00 cost, and $10 value), though when they entered the coupon, the register didn't work right with the coupon and the gift card. Eventually, they had to manually adjust the price to get it to work, though I did leave with it for $19.99 + $10 GC.

I'd assume the same thing would happen with any coupon and the two games + $10 GC for the coming week, that you might get it to work, though would take a manual price adjustment for them to work.

[Pharrell1]

I went in to CC today and I found Madden 07 on the shelf. since the season was over I thought I'd pick up the 06 EA sports collection games like NBA Live Madden and NHL sweet

after the big game I revved up my PC to play some Madden 07 action and played Colts vs Bears on default diffculty in Dolphins stadium with some rain it was sweet.

I won 33-22 i was the colts of course.

[wEEman33]

Well, I went ahead and made the upgrade from Madden 06 to Madden 07 and so far it seems like a worthy investment.

Online play and franchise mode (my two main modes of play) are pretty much untouched from last year's game, but the updated rosters, larger pool of online players, and minor improvements to the gameplay make it worth the $8.

This is definitely a worthy deal for anyone that can enjoy Madden football, especially since the series will probably become irrelevant again once 2K's All-Pro Football jumps back into the competition.

[GunsGermsSteel]

Hey Speedy, probably a dumb question, but how do you know what time the games go on sale, i.e. FFVI on 2/6/07 - 2PM?

Thanks!

[lilboo]

Hey, i can answer that =)

It actually says it in the Best Buy flyer, LOL
I was looking at it this past Sunday and I saw DKR & FFVI and saw the "2/6 2pm" next to it.

So thats how he knows!

This $10 gift card is pretty awesome. I can't wait to go get DKR & FFVI today. I also have a $5 rewards coupon so getting DKR & FFVI for about $55 + a $10 giftcard...which goes towards Wii Play next week.. which I still have my $10 off coupon for any game $39.99 and up AND my $10 giftcard :) Wii Play = $30 (plus I have 4 remotes, so I'll probably wind up selling the remote for like $25 here on CAG) so Wii Play for me = $5 <-- nice!

[GunsGermsSteel]

Gracias!

[nuttyturnip]

Does one generally have to wait until 6PM? I'd really rather swing by BB on my lunch hour today, if possible, but if they're not going to have them, I won't waste a subway trip.

[chair_home]

The time is actually 2pm, not 6pm, and sometimes they have them out early. It just depends on when their shipment comes in. To save yourself the hassle, call just before you leave.

[Kendro]

Just got back from BB and picked up FFVI and DK Racing. I nearly gave the cashier an ulcer, she was ticked! :hot: :lol:

Basically when buying both games, I had a $10 RZ certificate, 2 GGC coupons, and 2 gift cards with $5 each. So the total came to around $60, she took off $10 from using both coupons, $10 from both gift cards, $10 from the RZ certificate, and since both games I bought were advertised, I got the free $10 gift card.

I don't know why that seemed so hard for her to do. She took nearly 10 minutes figuring it out. When I go back to get Hotel Dusk, I hope I run into her. I'm gonna bust out the $10 gift card from today and another GGC with coupon to take off another $10.

Thanks Speedy!

[MysteryMan2333]

I tried to buy a Nintendo DS Lite at Circuit City and they wouldn't sell it to me :bomb:

I went to the counter and asked for the DS Lite, the lady went back to check for stock and she came back and told me they had all three colors in stock. I said, okay, great and said that I wanted to pick up some games first and get the free case. I came back to the register and told her I wanted the black version, and then she comes back with the white one. She says they can't sell me the black one because it is the only one left in stock and they have to have at least one in stock because it's in next week's ad. I then tell them that it's in this week's ad, but they say that doesn't matter and then try to sell me the white one again. Does this sound reasonable to anyone, or does it seem like they were just holding it for a friend? I've never heard of a store not selling an in stock item because it's in next week's ad. I should have asked for the manager, but I'm not the hostile type :(

[ihavenolife123]

I ended up not purchasing anything. I had the $5 off the GBA game, $10 off any $39.99 game coupons, and the cashier wouldnt let them work together, because they dont stack. So if I purchase them differently, I wont be getting the $10 GC at all. There was no way around them, she sounded the alarm, the manager came, and all defenses were up against me. Ugh, Someone needs to demonstrate how to work the system

Get there names and call corperate dude. Fuck that shit!

[kofijamal]

Thanks Speedy.

I got DK Racing and Cooking Mama at BB, in-store pickup (but it took over 4 hours for them to send me the second email... ) and will have the 10 gift card next day mailed for like 55. It's not a super-duper deal, I wanted DK Racing and Cooking Mama is for my wife (I'm going to leave it out as her "valentine day gift," but it's just throw her off. Plus we both wanted it), but I get to use the gift card for her real gift later this week; a MP3 player.

Thanks again.
