Something other than the usual horrific ad for Target, which has been pretty crappy since they did the $24 DS game ad before Easter.

R6: V for $39.99 and GRAW2 for $49.99 are actually something surprising.

Nice of Target to charge $29.99 for Viva Pinata after many got it for $19.99 a few weeks ago. ;)

But thanks for the ads! I'm slightly tempted to finally get GBA Mario Kart for $13. (nope, never bought it before now)

Well then, I just bought this today at $50 from CC, haven't opened it yet. Should I return it now, and play Company of Heroes (which I also bought via pricematch from EB ad), and just buy it again on the 13th, or should I keep it, and go get the $13 back then? I'm not too familier with their time limitations on price fixes.

That was actually an error on their part, if I'm not mistaken. The price tags said $29.99, but they were ringing up for $19.99.

30 days on price adjustments.......

I myself would play it safe and keep it sealed until then in case you get a clerk who insists on you returning and then re-buying.

can't complain with circuit city. they've been very good to me over the past month or so (pokemans, the blizzard battlechests to name a few), so they can have a week off this week.

nothing for me, except maybe big brain, since it's the best-scored of the DS brain games.

but hey, isn't it ironic that we CAG's save money when there AREN'T specials going on, because we don't spend at all?

i spend more on games now that I joined CAG, lol.

but at least CAG has shown me the way to not paying retail. EWWWWWWW!

whenever you guys wanna film that infomercial, i'm game. i can get us a 3:47am air time (eastern) on UPN, also known as television's prime time.

So Circuit City is selling Zoo Tycoon DS for $14.99 next week, and then $13.99 the week after that? Kinda stupid, but whatever. I'll wait a week to save a dollar.

question, does the wii not being in the ads say that no target, cc, or bbs will not have any systems whatsoever or can some stores still get shipments and still sell them on these dates?

question, does the wii not being in the ads say that no target, cc, or bbs will not have any systems whatsoever or can some stores still get shipments and still sell them on these dates?

It is stating that the majors are not advertising that they will have the Wii system in stock.

Can they receive shipments during the week of Wii's? Yes.... of course.

If you are on site when they receive them, can you get one? Yes.....


Remember that the purpose of the weekly circular is draw attention to items either on sale or special discounts / deals. The sole purpose of the ads is to get YOU into the store.

By not including the Wii in the weekly ad, the majors are in effect stating that they will not have sufficient quantities on hand.

A couple of folks here at CAG and at DVDTalk (who work for the big three) have stated that sometimes they'll receive a shipment of one or two units but that they never know if they're going to receive ANY units with the regular stock shipments.

When the Wii's are in the ads, the retailer is stating they they will have some at the specific date and time.

It really is a great deal... though I have a PS3, I'm still sitting on the sidelines until I get a clearer idea of what format is going to endure before I start grabbing up movies...

It helps that I don't really have the money to buy them at the moment anyway ;)

Retail for this chair goes for $50 (http://www.pyramat.com/gflex.asp). It's the rocker that goes for like $80+ in stores. Personally, this chair looks uncomfortable for long gaming sessions, but I have not seen it in person so it's just an assumption.

Nothing for me, which is good as I should be saving money.

Is the GBA Mario Kart game worth getting? I was in CC on saturday and saw it there for $19.99. I was tempted, but passed on it. Then I come and read this thread and see that it has dropped to $13.99...

I am just afraid that I will be dissapointed by the game because I have played the "3D" kart games (Kart64 and GC version).

But I haven't had that problem at either of the BBs around here. Did the same thing w/ Big Brain Academy, Mario Kart DS, and New Super Mario Bros. earlier this year.

Rockgamer
05-15-2007, 02:11 AM
Well. don't forget that you could also try using the Best Buy coupon at Circuit City. I've had mixed luck the two times I've tried doing it, though (one store wouldn't let me do it at all, while another let me use two at once), so this is not a sure thing either.

Yes, also worth a shot, but that doesn't work for me anymore at either local CC as of earlier this year...policy change or some such rubbish. Others still report success however.

Both are YMMV, depending on the specific store and staff.

When I bought Guitar Hero II at best buy 2 days ago, she gave me a free $10 gift card on the $90 purchase, effectively making it $80. I never saw it advertised, but the clerk told me it came with it...
