New PS2 Drops at CC B&M? $16.96 Tales of Legendia, Xenosaga III, and Grandia III

[lvgamer1]

Just like the title says.

I just saw about 3-5 copies each of Grandia III, Xenosaga III, and Tales of Legendia in the clearance bin at Circuit City, stickered at $16.96

IMHO, Circuit City is about the only major chain that has regular (consistant), reliable (nationwide) clearances.

Would someone be willing and able to start an "official" clearance thread? There are a lot of deals that I've seen there that never seem to be mentioned on CAG (for example I've also seen Lost Magic NDS for $16.96).

Any CAG CC employees out there?

[kevzik]

Yeah, there is definitly a new clearence out there...either we all can put together a new list or wait on an employee. Off the top of my head...

Infected - psp
Full Auto - 360

Many more. Neo, where you at!?

[guynextshore]

16.96 for xenosaga III & tales of legendia?
Need to hit CC tomorrow.
Please someone confirm this!!

[whoknows]

If Xenosaga III gets confirmed for $16.96 I'll definitely have to go get it!

[swetooth9]

interesting...i've been wanting legendia since a few months back...might have to bite for 17

[GrayWolf323]

dang

I already own all three of those games ^_^

[xdl]

I hate this 16.96 clearance price, seems like all the games get grabbed before they get lowered (which I assume is the point of it, good job CC.) Decent price for these though, not sure if I will pick them up though.

[sarausagi]

Xenosaga 3 was worth it at $39. I would have paid $59 if I had to.

In my honest opinion, it's the best RPG on the PS2 period.

I'm trying to play FFX and trying to figure out what left me so floored years ago. I didn't make it past the first 10 hours in FF XII. And it stands to rival Episode I and Gears.

If you like wonderful stories, incredible cut scenes, beautiful art direction, and a solid battle uncomplicated battle system, Xenosaga Episode III is for you. It doesn't hurt to mention Xenosaga I and II are both around $10 new.

I think it's weird how some of the worst RPG's sell for twice what they're worth and yet two of the best sell for less than GH pricing.

[FFBlitzace]

I want Grandia III, but I would really prefer $10 or less.

[suko_32]

Xenosaga's are love it or hate it type games IMO.

[Alien Spider]

Awesome price on Xenosaga III! I'm playing through it right now, it's great game. I have a used copy of ToL I'd like to replace with a new one if I could find the game around $10. So the game I'll be looking for is Grandia III, even though I've heard it's not that great overally. Still, I love RPGs. ^_^

Thanks for the info, OP!

[LXL_Guy]

I do want to jump on the Xenosaga III. A decent enough price for me to finally buy it and complete the series.

[Inf^Shini]

Please someone confirm this!!

Haha, this dude

Don't worry, they're all sealed! lmfao :lol:

[guynextshore]

Haha, this dude

Don't worry, they're all sealed! lmfao :lol:


LOL!
I know!!! - I need to go to CC tomorrow!!

[Josef]

A bunch of games got lowered to $16.96 on Friday. It seemed to be mostly DS games (there's already a thread about it for DQ Heroes and others). There were a few 360 games as well. If someone wants to compile a complete list and combine threads that would be great.

Also, I checked Disgaea 2 and a few others but they rang up regular price.

[ITDEFX]

is Grandia 3 better then Grandia 2 story wise?

[Vinny]

Damn... I want Grandia III and Xenosaga III, and at that price, ToL looks tempting.

[humanremains2]

personally, I found Grandia III kind of lackluster. Like Grandia II it had a nice combat engine, but the story was awful.

Anyway, great prices on Legendia and Xenosaga III. I might go pick up Full Auto for that price too.

[Tybalt Flux]

So it's 100% confirmed that this is national...?

Oh hell yea, definitely picking up Kim Possible, Chicken little, and Bionicle Heroes! What a deal!

Time to pick up ToL and Xeno 3 :D

Haha, lets see if anyone finds Warioware Touched!

Can anyone vouch for the FMA DS game or Dragon quest heroes? I might pick up bomberman jetters as I love the bomberman series ;)

[Dead of Knight]

is Grandia 3 better then Grandia 2 story wise?

No. Grandia III has a terrible story.

[wickedwrister]

I want Grandia III, but I would really prefer $10 or less.


I picked up a Grandia 3 at Toys R' Us like 2 months ago for 10 after they lowered the price. The few TRU's I've been into lately all still have copies of it.

[tamno1]

Deal confirmed. Just got Xenosaga III for 16.96. Grandia III and ToL were priced the same as well. However, all 3 games were not in their Clearance boxes. They were still on the shelves at 29.99, 29.99 and 39.99 for ToL, GIII, and Xeno III respectively. Ask the store clerk and the price should come up 16.96 in the computer. Happy CAGing.

[ahou]

awesome, I guess its time to pick up tales of legendia. While I'm at it, might as well try and hunt every CC in the area to score warioware: touched lol

[Litigation_Jackson]

Grandia III was at my local CC for the registered clearance price as well, despite the fact that it was neither in the clearance bin nor marked down from it's 49.99 retail sticker.

[lunker]

Just FYI, I've heard nothing but bad things about Tales of Legendia. Tales of the Abyss has generally been regarded as the better game, just as good (if not better) than Symphonia.

I'll have to swing by tomorrow. I may not be able to resist Rocket Slime at this price, and maybe they'll have more PSP stuff. Handhelds forever, baby! :D

[argyle]

I already have both ToL & Xeno 3 (but I got them in the dying days of Rhino, so I didn't pay anywhere near full price for them). I do have a friend who may be interested in Xeno 3 for that price. Any other 360 or PSP games?

[jah2004]

I think I will try to find Grandia III, even though I hardly ever have any luck at my CC. Grandia II was one of the most fun rpg I have played so i wanna try this one.

Nice work. Now we just need to add our instore finds.

[sonicbooom]

My CC still has copies of Suikoden Tactics. Wanted to sell them on eBay, but I want to make at least $5 for sure.

[bisquit]

think i'm going to have to swing by cc tomorrow. Xenosaga III and Grandia III sounds very good.

[tamno1]

is Grandia 3 better then Grandia 2 story wise?

the story is quite RPG-standard type (some dude saves the world and some chick falls in love with him, ya know). But I really did enjoy the battle system. It was fun and unpredictable since everyone could move around on the battle field in real time.

[mxpowar]

I think I will try to find Grandia III, even though I hardly ever have any luck at my CC. Grandia II was one of the most fun rpg I have played so i wanna try this one.
If you plan on buying Grandia III based solely on your experience with Grandia II, then you'll be sorely disappointed. Grandia III is very generic compared to the great story of Grandia II.

[sabo]

I picked up a Grandia 3 at Toys R' Us like 2 months ago for 10 after they lowered the price. The few TRU's I've been into lately all still have copies of it.


consider yourself lucky, i've been looking for it at my local TRU's since the sale started and have yet to find one.

[CaoPi]

is tales any good? I heard legendia was the weakest in the series?

[guynextshore]

is tales any good? I heard legendia was the weakest in the series?

Personally, legendia was the weakest - the story didn't really intrigue me at all. Especially, after playing Symphonia/destiny II. But then again, that's my opinion only. :D.

[io]

Also scanned for Valkyrie Profile 2 and it came full price.

Figures - that is the ONE RPG I held off on buying at release, and it doesn't seem to want to budge. It is highly annoying. (Well, other than Xeno III, and I got a good price on that).

Grandia III is a *great* game. Of course the battle system is phenomenal. It gets somewhat challenging towards the end too. And the story isn't that damn bad. I didn't have a problem with it. I actually liked it because it was fairly linear. I'm all for deep, complex, branching games. But because of my lack of time to play these things I appreciated that I could play one without a guide (unlike Suikoden V) and still get "100%" of the game completed (hard to be sure as it doesn't tell you but as far as I could tell I didn't miss any areas), and all under 40-50 hours (I forget exactly).

Tales of Legendia is also a very good game. For whatever reason I stopped playing it halfway through the character quests. I really should just finish it off as I probably only have 5-10 hours left. THEN I can move on to Abyss, Rogue Galaxy, FF X, FF XII, Shadow Hearts (all), Xenosaga (all), DDS 1 & 2, etc... Why am I considering getting a 360 again? :rofl:. I could play PS2 RPG games out of my sealed stack for the next 2 years solid.

Anyway, I highly recommend either of those at $17 - seem like obvious buys to me if you are any kind of RPG fan. (Haven't played any Xenosagas yet, but I was fortunate to get Xeno III at GR for $15 last week).

[Wet Ninja]

Can anyone vouch for the FMA DS game or Dragon quest heroes? I might pick up bomberman jetters as I love the bomberman series ;)

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is a good, light-hearted action-RPG. You have to go through the levels and free your slime friends. Along the way, you collect items to be used as ammo for the tank battles, which are pretty fun. You can also find recipes that will allow you to combine items to make new items, so there's an incentive to replay the levels to get more items.

[dcswirl]

I want Legendia. Going there at open in a couple hours. Thanks for the heads up!

[Brian9824]

Might have to snag tales of legendia and see if they will honor one of the BB $5 off coupons while i'm there.

[Zmonkay]

Hmmm, anyone know any other PS2 games that might be eligible? I might be able to stop by later, but don't know what I should check.

[Zmonkay]

Might have to snag tales of legendia and see if they will honor one of the BB $5 off coupons while i'm there.

Um, what coupons? Do you mean GGC, or something else? The only ones in the Coupon thread I see are for 5 off 19.99 or more. There used to be one w/ no limit, is that still around?

Thanks.

[JohnnyDrama]

I might try to pick up Legendia and maybe Xenosaga III if they're there.

[Wolfpup]

I'm possibly interested in Grandia III, but will I like it if my preference is for standard turn based battles? 99.9% of the time I *HATE* RPGs that try to mix in action based stuff.

[lockarm]

Xenosaga III's ending is the very epitome of the word "bittersweet".

[Oxybeles]

Rarely anything ever left in South Orange County, but it is worth a gander.

[Masterkyo]

Tales of Legendia & Xenosaga III for me. hope i can get both of them under $25 after pricematch with BB $5 off coupon ;)

[Medium_Pimpin]

Grandia 3 is great, not so much for the story, but for the battle system as always.
I rented XSIII for a few weeks from gamesnflix couldn't really get into it, but the battle system seemed a little tighter than the 2nd. Anyways great finds, will pick these up for my collection.

[Brian9824]

This one http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126307

[Nutts]

Maybe this is from an older price drop, but I also picked up Monster Rancher Evo and Untold Legends II Warriors Code both at 16.96. They were in the cheap bin.

[Rictor]

Xenosaga III is $15 at Gamerush/Blockbuster.

This latest batch of $16.96 games has a lot of potential once they hit $8.96. I'll be picking up a big stack of DS games at that price:

Justice League Heroes
Dragon Quest
Pokemon Trozei
Cartoon Network Racing
Probably a couple others

[Zmonkay]

Thank you!

Good price for Grandia 3 and Xeno, I may pick them up if have time later.

[monkeypox]

Oh hell yea, definitely picking up Kim Possible, Chicken little, and Bionicle Heroes! What a deal!

don't know about the rest, but kim possible is actually a pretty decent platformer.

[shrike4242]

Nice to see XS3 finally made it down to a cheaper price. Time to swing by CC and see if they have it.

[TimPV3]

What's up with Infected? Wasn't that clearanced out at $10 last August?

[forkyfork]

I was almost pissed about Xenosaga dropping in price, when I remembered that I purchased it from blockbuster a few days earlier for 15 (1/2 of $30) :)

Hey, that actually sounds kinda fun and....tank battles?!?! they have tanks?!?

[freshzen]

Tales of Legendia just sucks, I wouldn't recommend that game to anyone.

Grandia III is at least playable, even if it is the laziest Grandia of them all (does Xtreme count?).

[Pookymeister]

Nice to see XS3 finally made it down to a cheaper price. Time to swing by CC and see if they have it.

don't forget pricegrabber $5 =]

[erehwon]

I picked up Legendia at the Fort Wayne CC. There was one other copy of Legendia and I didn't see any copies of Grandia 3.

[forkyfork]

Dragon Quest Rocket Slime is awesome. I can not say enough good things about it. If you look past the kiddiness, you will find a truly well-thought out and remarkable game.

[MoxManiac_]

Damn, I hope my CC has Grandia III. I could care less about the story, I play grandia for the battle system

[Nutts]

I can also confirm that Contact for the DS is 16.96 as I picked that up today.

[stolazi]

Got Grandia III, Xenosaga III and Rocket Slime. Been looking for Grandia III for a while. Thanks, OP.

[napmaster]

Picked up Xenosaga III for $17 something. Yes, that is with tax.

LOCATION: CC @ Burlington, MA

1x Xenosaga III left
4x Tales of Legendia left

I wonder what other games are $16.96. I wish CC had price scanners for people to use instead of annoying the hell out of the employees by telling them to scan every game.

I have never played Xenosaga. Do you guys recommend I play the first two before this one? Are they closely connected?

CC had Xenosaga I and it was $14.99. Not sure if that is a good price.

[Zmonkay]

Want to add the Valkyrie Profile (PS2) IS NOT part of the sale. Xeno 3 for 18 after tax, and then the 5 dollar Price Grabber rebate is a steal though

[ChaoticClimax]

Want to add the Valkyrie Profile (PS2) IS NOT part of the sale. Xeno 3 for 18 after tax, and then the 5 dollar Price Grabber rebate is a steal though

Noob question, where can I get this $5 off coupon I hear about so often?

[JCDenton]

Grandia 3 is absolutely awful.....please don't buy it. It's about 30 hours long, and the first 10 hours aren't great, but they'll leave you thinking that at least maybe all the bad reviews were somewhat exaggerated. The middle 10 hours are terrible though. You'll keep thinking things will improve, but the game keeps getting worse and worse. By the time you realize it just isn't going to get any better, you're already 20 hours in, and you'll want to quit, but you'll be stuck finishing out the game since it's too late to give up.

I wish someone had been able to convince me the game was awful before I played it so I could get that part of my life back....now all I can do is try to help those who haven't been victimized by it yet. By the way, I loved Grandia 1 and Grandia 2, but this horrible game just doesn't compare. It has one of the worst stories I've ever seen in an RPG, and hands down the most annoying characters.

[Roufuss]

I can also confirm that Contact for the DS is 16.96 as I picked that up today.

Thanks, I'll be stopping by Circuit City later now... I can live without a bunch of PS2 RPG's which seem to be dropping to sub $20 everywhere, but not this.

Almost thought I could skip this sale completely, but I guess not ;)

[CaoPi]

Grandia 3 is pretty good at that price it's pretty hard to come by sealed now, at least where I am.

[monstericreated]

Hmm... Well, I bought Tales, Xenosaga III, and Grandia III, but I may decide to return Grandia & Tales after reading this thread a little more thoroughly.

I'm inclined to think we might have similar tastes, going by your username :D

I didn't even like Grandia 1 though, so...

I am wondering how the battle engine is in this. I normally don't like overly complex (to me just randomly complex) turn based systems, and prefer something more straight forward (ala Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy 1-10).

I will at least look for Contact. I haven't payed too much attention to it, but I recall it seemed unusual (in an interesting way).

[kittycatgirl2k]

Could someone pick up Contact for me? please please with sugar on top? and all that good stuff... PM me

[whoknows]

Went and grabbed Xenosaga III but couldn't find Grandia III.

[Inf^Shini]

I can also confirm that Contact for the DS is 16.96 as I picked that up today.

Oh sweetness, I was staring at this game at CC for awhile, wondering if it would ever get cheaper...and yay! It happened!

[psunami]

oooh. Contact for that price, I'll grab.

Thanks for the info.

Now this list is by no way complete as I went searching for these drops and not a list from corporate so there may be more out there.

My store does have a good number of these right now and may be willing to hunt down a couple for trades if anyone wants just PM me.

[InuFaye]

my circuit city sucks and its a 30 mile drive/gamble i dont know if i should go.

[doho7744]

Grabbed Contact, DQ and Xeno. Need to go back and get Phx Wright. dang it.

[sabo]

man, you guys must have money cuz 18 dollars after tax per game sounds like weak sauce to me. once these drop more i'll probably check them out. i do appreciate the info though, thanks OP and everyone else.

on a side note, i really love the battle system in grandia where you can see where your turn is coming and everyone (including enemies) share that same time bar. too bad grandia 3 story sucks from what i've heard on here.

[kevzik]

Thanks bill!

[Vinny]

Oh man! I wish I would've know about Contact... I would've snagged it at that price.:-(

[jackalc]

Hmm. I think I'm gonna try to pick up DQ and Pokemon Trozei at the Emeryville, CA CC.

[dinovelvet]

Once again, CC offers 16.96 games that would be interesting to me at $8.96, but as of right now...pass. Any chance these will drop in price? The last lot of 16.96 games didn't seem to drop any further than that if I remember correctly.

[erehwon]

Yea, $17 is a little much, but I doubt my CC will get anymore of these in stock. They only had 2 of legendia when I went there, so that's why I picked it up.

[sabo]

true, the RPG's go fast and restock chances are slim

[FFBlitzace]

In for Contact if my local store has it.

[ricoraney]

Just like the title says.

I just saw about 3-5 copies each of Grandia III, Xenosaga III, and Tales of Legendia in the clearance bin at Circuit City, stickered at $16.96

IMHO, Circuit City is about the only major chain that has regular (consistant), reliable (nationwide) clearances.

Would someone be willing and able to start an "official" clearance thread? There are a lot of deals that I've seen there that never seem to be mentioned on CAG (for example I've also seen Lost Magic NDS for $16.96).

Any CAG CC employees out there?
Grandia III is $10 at TRU. It's been $10 for quite some time now. Oh by the way, I can confirm these prices. I picked up Tales and Xenosaga III today.

[doc005]

picked up
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams

[michael000]

All the stores were out of stock in my area (Houston), what a shock. No luck on the big Best Buy sale last week or this one lol.

[fairtrade]

Sweet, I picked up Xenosaga III at CC and then found a different version at BB w/ a hologram cover and the same UPC. Time to pull a switcheroonie. ;)

michael000: I can comment that CC in the Woodlands had probably 2 copies of Xenosaga III left. I forgot to look for the other stuff.

[napmaster]

These rpgs won't get cheap........as in $8.96 cheap for a while. Xenosaga I (new) @ cc and Sears is still $14.99. If anyone found it cheaper elsewhere, please let me know.

[fairtrade]

I managed to pick up a Xenosaga I non-GH about 2 months ago at Wal-Mart of all places for $9.99. Good luck w/ that one, though.

Heh, that reminds me, I picked up a new copy of Ikaruga for GC at that store for $14.99 about 3 months ago, too. That had to be my greatest Wal-Mart moment ever.

These rpgs won't get cheap........as in $8.96 cheap for a while. Xenosaga I @ cc and Sears is still $14.99. If anyone found it cheaper elsewhere, please let me know.

[robbart914]

18 bucks for an RPG is a steal if you actually play it nowadays. 40+ hours for less than 20 bones is always good. Not to mention some people like to replay them. And there's a shitload of them out there. More than any gamer even has the time to play.

But we're arguing semantics. Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend XSIII. Don't regret paying $40 for it for a second, and I outright hated the first 2. In fact, if not for having to play the first two to get the full enjoyment out of it, it would be my pick for RPG of this generation. Hands down. Still my favorite of them regardless.

[nachzeher]

My CC had a couple more ToL, Grandia and Xeno III if anyone wants it. I'll be glad to pick it up and sell it at cost + shipping.

[monstericreated]

Hmm... Might go back for Phoenix Wright and Onimusha. Thanks!

[JCDenton]

Austin circuit city in sunset valley has tons of ToL, at least one Grandia, and may be out of Xenosaga(it took me a while to find one and I quit looking when I found it).

My store does have a good number of these right now and may be willing to hunt down a couple for trades if anyone wants just PM me.I can confirm the ones I bolded above are at the store in my area as well.

I also saw:
Infected - PSP $16.96
Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins - PSP $16.96
Metal Gear Acid - PSP $12.96 (Comp USA near me has this for $9.99l)
Metal Gear Acid 2 - PSP $16.96 (Best Buy near me has it for $14.99)
King Kong - 360 $16.96
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance - PS2 16.96 (Only was 1 left)
Road Rash Jailbreak - GBA $12,96 (boxes were in bad shape)
Konami Arcade Advance - GBA $16.96
Fire Emblem - GBA $14.99 (Easter Packaging)
The Getaway - PS2 $16.96
Alien Hominid - PS2 (Didn't see a price but was in the $16.96 bin)
Bust a Move - PSP $16.96

There were honestly a lot of other titles as well, pretty sure I saw both a Over the Hedge and Open Season for DS but can't remember exactly what they were.

[michael000]

michael000: I can comment that CC in the Woodlands had probably 2 copies of Xenosaga III left. I forgot to look for the other stuff.

I was actually at that store around 5:30 :lol:. Guess i should have clarified, none of the stores had Grandia or ToL. Those were the 2 i was looking for, thanks for the heads up though.

[dcmon2002]

thanks for the post. great prices. pu xs3. the first 2 were great games....

[guyinga]

Picked up Grandia III at $16.96, but they wouldn't budge on Tales of Legendia at $39.95. They asked me where I saw the $16.96 price and I told them it was from CC (not their website). Still wouldn't give me that price though. Argh.

And Alien Hominid is $12 in the bargain bin.....I was hoping they would do a "Buy 2 get 1 Free" Deal but no dice

[paean]

Alien Hominid (PS2) is 12.99, and Bust a Move PSP is 9.99.

Thanks to OP I got Rocket SLime.

[scion of ys]

wasn't mega man x collection clearanced out a while ago at 16.96? does that mean it went down even further?

[rapsodist]

Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend XSIII. Don't regret paying $40 for it for a second, and I outright hated the first 2. In fact, if not for having to play the first two to get the full enjoyment out of it, it would be my pick for RPG of this generation. Hands down. Still my favorite of them regardless.
Your opinion has me intrigued because I absolutely hated Xenosaga I. It was among some of the most boring and pretentious drivel I'd ever seen, and served as the final nail in the coffin to my RPG days until DQVIII resurrected my love. It made me feel like I bought the Xenogears Perfect Works book for nothing! I've all but ignored Xenosaga II and III since then. Guess I'll have to check reviews on this third one now...

[sandman007]

Picked up Contact and Onimusha. There's still one copy of Onimusha left at the CC in L.A. if anyone is interested.

[ravenxl]

secured a copy of Contact (much to my fiancee's glee :D), Scurge Hive, Tales of Legendia, and Xenosaga III... alas there was no Grandia III to be had. I'm going to check another location tomorrow on my lunch. many thanks to the OP and all other contributors. :applause:

[JohnnyDrama]

Did you ask them to scan the barcode first? If the price came up $16.96 then it should be sold at that price.

[theflicker]

Picked up Contact, Resident Evil DS, Phoenix Wright, and Pokemon Trozei in North Haven, CT. Picked up a few other items and used a $15 off $100 as well.

[Inf^Shini]

Guess there's some stuff off the trade list :P

BTW, I read about a bug Bubble bobble revolution has where at level 30, it's impossible to pass it because the boss is completely off screen.

Anyone know if that has already been fixed in the recent batch of the game's production?

[Prepster]

Picked up Xenosaga 3 and Tales, going to go back tomorrow and pick up a copy of contact since I am getting a gps unit there. Might grab Pokemon Trozei aswell......anyone know if that Full Metal game is any good?

[guynextshore]

[eau]

Sweet, I picked up Xenosaga III at CC and then found a different version at BB w/ a hologram cover and the same UPC. Time to pull a switcheroonie. ;)
I'm surprised your BB still had it. That's the lenticular cover edition that came only in the initial batch.

Oh dude, grab me one! Seriously, get me the BB version!!!

[guynextshore]

Oh dude, grab me one! Seriously, get me the BB version!!!

What?
What is this lenticular cover edition?! - Only best buy has this version??!

[grtkev]

Pretty much it was a BB exclusive and made me buy it at full price. For a 10 cent lenticular cover I bought a 40 dollar game. I could'nt wait till it price dropped.:cry:

[guinaevere]

LOCATION: CC @ Burlington, MAHolla, napmaster. I used to work out in Burlington.


Fire Emblem - GBA $14.99 (Easter Packaging)Is this FE or FE Sacred Stones? FESS is nothing exciting for that price, but I think the first (US) Fire Emblem game is hard to find these days.

I gots to hit CC soon. Rocket Slime is a possible buy for $17. Pokemon Trozie I'd like to get, but not for over $10.



Thanks for consolidating the more recent CC drops into this thread, guys.

[eau]

What?
What is this lenticular cover edition?! - Only best buy has this version??! There were 3 different preorder bonuses when XSIII was released:

Best Buy: special lenticular cover - it's just a lenticlar onsert placed on top of the regular cover. It's alterating image of Kos-Mos and T-elos :hot:

If it's the same ones I saw at my CC in Easter packaging, it's Sacred Stones. My CC had 4-5 of them in that packaging.

There were honestly a lot of other titles as well, pretty sure I saw both a Over the Hedge and Open Season for DS but can't remember exactly what they were.

I'd be willing to pick up any for people if you're hunting for them.

Also if anyone could find either Mega Man X Collection - PS2 or Contact - DS I'd be willing to buy or trade for them.
Alien Hominid is $12.99. The Getaway should be $5.96.

[Dark_Magus]

i was at cc yesterday and I saw Bounty Hounds(PSP) priced at 16.96

[Wet Ninja]

(in reference to Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime)

Hey, that actually sounds kinda fun and....tank battles?!?! they have tanks?!?

Yep, they have huge tanks. The items you've collected in the levels drop down chutes inside your tank; you have to run around your tank, pick them up, take them to the top of your tank, and throw them into your cannons to launch them at the enemy. Once the enemy tank is down to 0 HP, you get out of your tank and run (well, hop) across to the enemy tank, go inside, and destroy the power core. It can get pretty frantic, but there's a bit of strategy in deciding which items you want to use in your tank (there's a limit to how many items you can have as your tank ammo); some heal your tank or have other effects, while some are faster and some do more damage.

Here's a good screenshot of it. (http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpagesscreens/932684.asp?screenid=3)

oooo, purrrty. Does BB carry the regular cover too? Cuz if so, switching it out might not be a bad idea, as others have said.

[fairtrade]

I also recall seeing one store w/ the regular cover. Not like it matters, though, the UPC is the same and it's highly unlikely that anyone will notice. Even if they do, what recourse do they have?

[MoxManiac_]

No Grandia III for me :cry:

Ironically I saw several Xenosaga III's, but I don't want that game. I did pick up Onimusha Dawn of Dreams (also $16.96)

[Caliburn]

Contact is tempting, but I can't justify squeezing another ~$18 after DQ:RS soon.

[psunami]

No Xenosaga's at the West Madison CC, but I did pick up Contact and DQ: RS.

That should take care of my DS RPG needs for a while.

[slidecage]

Picked up the Last copy of contact in fort wayne
They had 1 more copy of xenosaga 3
they had 5 copies of dragon warrior
they had 7 copies of ace att. part 1
they had 1 copy of tales of syn.

this was at 11am today

might return contact and just try to grab it off goozex

[evilwrath666]

Picked up Phoenix Wright today at the Orange, CA Circuit City, they had about 2 or 3 left as well as a couple Rocket Slimes.

[Purkeynator]

my store had 2 Xenosaga III's but no Grandia 3.

[Warner1281]

Has anybody seen a Godfather: Collector's Edition at their CC? I went to one today and couldn't find it. Gonna check one more, but not expecting much.

[DomLando]

Picked up what seemed to be the last copy of Xenosaga III at the Manalapan, NJ CC. They had a bunch of other games in a bin. I saw a few copies of Tales of Legendia left.

[theflicker]

I asked my store if they had 15 of 100s...was this a print out or an actual one that hasn't expired...could you possible get some more? I am sure tons of CAGS would love you if you could mail out some!

It came with my Discover credit card statement, sorry.

[shrike4242]

I found the sole copy of XS3 at the South County, MO CC. No sign of Contact, though they said it might be at another CC, so that's a stop on the way home.

And speaking of coupons, I had a $10 of $50 or more coupon show up as a direct mailing from CC a couple of months back. Had a 02/28/07 expiration on it.

[dopa345]

I'm sure Xenosaga 3 will eventually drop to $9.99 like the first two at some point but I couldn't resist the chance to complete the trilogy and picked up ToL for good measure. Now if I can only find the time to even play them, I haven't even played through the first Xenosaga.

[napmaster]

Where can you get XenoSaga 1 & 2 for $9.99 each?

[CaoPi]

XS 2 I saw a few copies at bestbuy 14.99 use the coupon 9.99 after. I'm not sure where to find XS 1 for that cheap...

[drthkid]

Thanks OP. Found all three titles I was looking for after going to 3 different CCs. Only found 1 copy of Grandia III among the three stores. Tales of Legendia and Xenosaga III were more plentiful.

Saugus, MA CC has 1 XSIII, 1 ToL left.
Somerville, MA CC has several copies of ToL
South Bay CC has several copies of XSIII

[ChaoticClimax]

Lol, just when I needed to spend more money...

I picked up:
Onimusha: DoD - $17
Tales of Legendia - $17
Xenosaga III - $17
GTA: Vice City Stories - $15 (I know it ain't clearance but a hell of a price!)

The guy I asked to check the prices for me was angry he didn't know about this clearance. I also felt bad because I got the last copies of all those except GTA.

[Trugentleman02]

Got Xenosaga III today to finish the triology. I forgot how Xenosaga II ended since it was awhile ago, so I'll probably go back and replay the ending to refresh my memory.

[Teeheehee]

Contact and ToL are sooo tempting, but I already ordered stuff from Amazon this weekend, thanks to CAG >:o. I need to check it out tomorrow.

[romeogbs19]

man, you guys must have money cuz 18 dollars after tax per game sounds like weak sauce to me. once these drop more i'll probably check them out. i do appreciate the info though, thanks OP and everyone else.


Well, at least for me, it's not that i'm wealthy as much as it is timing. Face it, these games are being clearanced -- and most stores have wiped their stock already. With the new consoles taking up space, it's only a matter of time before ps2, xbox, and gamecube games are offshelves entirely. I doubt any store is ordering much more of these titles, beyond the budget/GH games.

I just don't want to be stuck without them, or having to buy scratched up merchandise off ebay.

[sonderiaom]

Contact is unlabeled at my Circuit City. Along with a couple other games.

I've been looking for this game for cheap for a while.

[eclisis]

I don't think this has been mentioned yet...I picked up Megaman Maverick Hunter X (PSP) today for $16.96.

[Vinny]

Geez... was my CC the only one without Xenosaga III or Grandia III?:-(

[napmaster]

Good thing I bought XSIII yesterday because i just went back today and there weren't any copies left. There were still 3 copies of Tales of Legendia though.

CC in Burlington, MA

I decided to buy XS I at GameStop for $9.99 used. I couldn't find it new for cheap.

[heybtbm]

No Xenosaga's at the West Madison CC, but I did pick up Contact and DQ: RS.

That should take care of my DS RPG needs for a while.

I picked up the last Xenosaga III there yesterday. No Grandia III"s to be found unfortunately.

[Masterkyo]

I scored last copy Tales of Legendia & Xenosaga 3. Also, saw last copy Drakengard 2 too, but i out of cash. Thought i go back next week & pickup it.

[tindall311]

i copped contact and dragon quest slime from the one in cary, nc
they werent marked so there were plenty of them

[jester48]

I scored last copy Tales of Legendia & Xenosaga 3. Also, saw last copy Drakengard 2 too, but i out of cash. Thought i go back next week & pickup it.

Or just go to best buy and use the $5.00 off coupon. I think the normal price for drakengard is 19.99 there.

[romeogbs19]

Grabbed the last copy of Onimusha DoD and -- the last copy of Kim Possible WtS. Yes, I'm one of those closet Kim Possible fans; this game has been impossible to find for under $18 anywhere :-) Thanks, OP.

[dopa345]

I got Xenosaga III and Tales of Legendia. Just a testament on how great this site is, I now have the entire Xenogears/Xenosaga series and spent less than $50 total for all of them new.

[Purkeynator]

Yeah me too and I have all three guides from penny guides and trades. Not bragging just saying this site kicks butt.

[xrickyb86x]

I should have read this thread before I went to CC today. I saw plenty of copies of Contact.

[hiamiyumi]

went to my local Circuitcity today and pickec up 5 games (3NDS and 2 PS2). My local CC is in Egg Harbor TWP NJ 08234. They still have a lof of these games on sale in stock(except Xenosaga 3,I picked up the last one). Don't bother with the price on label. bring them out to cashier and their price will be $16.96. These games are not in clearance bin. they're on the shelf like the other games.
Will come back to buy more.

Contact $16.99.... that's great price. I'll pickup tomorrow :)

Can one play and enjoy XS III without playing I and II? I am a huge fan of Xenogears and was extremely hyped when I heard about Xenosaga coming out years back, but reviews from people I trust caused me to avoid XS I and II to this day. I picked up XS III at this price for trading leverage, but am considering keeping it if I don't have to suffer through the first two episodes.

[Teeheehee]

I scored Contact and ToL at CC near me in queens. I didn't realize FMA was also discounted, though I don' think I would have gotten it for that price.

I haven't played XS3 yet, but I would imagine it is in your best interest to play 1 and 2 first, since it develops the characters a bit. There is an encyclopedia with summaries of past events though. 1 and 2 were great games IMO.

[supersvegeta]

Grandia III is $10 at TRU. It's been $10 for quite some time now. Oh by the way, I can confirm these prices. I picked up Tales and Xenosaga III today.

I picked up all 3 today. I told the checkout clerk that I was going to head over to TRU to see if they had Grandia III for $10 first and she just went ahead and rung it up for $10 so thanks. :applause:

I picked up the last copy of ToL but there were still 2 of the others in Lafayette, In.

Just google and you'll find plenty of info about XS I & II. Make sure you do some study about I and II before playing III so that you know the characters first and the story background.

[cecilvaliant]

damn, CC near me sold out (laguna hills/lake forest, across from laguna hills mall in so cali.)

[sp00ge]

My CC has five copies of grandia 3, two xenosaga and a few rocket slime...

They are still marked with the old price, so they may be there for some time.

[whoknows]

XS 2 I saw a few copies at bestbuy 14.99 use the coupon 9.99 after. I'm not sure where to find XS 1 for that cheap...
It's $9.99 used at Gamestop. It's just a matter of finding one complete and in decent condition.

[wannabepunktony]

Went out with some friends and we were able to score the majority of things we wanted tonight:

Xenosaga III
Monster Rancher EVO
Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins
Contact
Rocket Slime
Onimusha: Dawn of Souls
Phoenix Wright

[the_id_inside]

For anyone looking for a new, reasonably priced copy:
http://shop1.outpost.com/product/3539224?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
It comes out to about $17.50 with shipping, though the B&M stores may have it.

[Ranger Rick]

Questions. Which Phoenix Wright has dropped in price? Also will prices drop any lower for these games?

[GrilledWitOnions]

Questions. Which Phoenix Wright has dropped in price? Also will prices drop any lower for these games? As I believe was mentioned already:
PW is Ace Attorney, the first DS title
Price drops may happen but because CC most likely won't get more stock of these items, there won't be any games left to drop in price. This is probably as good as it gets.

[woodcan]

I checked back at the new CC in North Austin yesterday and they still had copies of Grandia III, Xenosaga III, and ToL. I just picked up Grandia III but there was at least 2 more copies. I also picked up the last copy of Phoenix Wright and Onimusha.

I'm sure if some CC's, like my own, don't mark the clearance prices and it doesn't sell, prices will drop further.

[mitch079]

I went to the one in Milford, CT (by the mall) today and was able to find Tales and Xenosaga 3. I think I got the last Tales but there were still a few Xenosagas left. The price tag still said 39.99 for Xenosaga so I had them check and it came up at 16.96. Those were the only two I was looking for but they had a pretty good selection of games there so if you're in the area there, I recommend checking it out.

Picked up a copy of Grandia III today if anyone's looking for it. Asking $22 shipped. As far as I could tell, there were 2 Grandia IIIs, 1 Xenosaga III, 1 Tales of Legendia, a couple of Phoenix Wrights, some Magneticas, and probably some other stuff I can't remember at the Buckhead CC (near Lenox Mall). They also had a slightly beat up first press edition of Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time (the one with the cardboard box) for $16.96 as well.

PM if you're interested.

I was at a Circuit City today that had:

Suikoden Tactics (PS2) $9.99

I know it's not $16.xx but I didn't read anything about the price on this game anywhere. I may pick a few copies up for trade if there's a demand for this one?

not sure if anyone is going to be able to find this...but metroid fusion (gba) is 16.96 (it had 29.99 on it but had to get it price checked).

Just to let everyone know I've posted the entire list in a new thread.

I got the one and only copy at my store of XS III (Athens, GA). Couldn't find it, and then this nice girl came up and said she hadn't found any of it, and someone else had been looking for it. Well, she just browsed this shelf I had JUST looked at, and found it almost in an instant. I was very happy, I'll eventually go back and buy DQ: RS.
