Have a great week folks!

[DomLando]

Nothing for me so far. Thanks Speedy.

[Friend of Sonic]

Nothing impressive so far. Thanks Speedy!

[Roufuss]

Horrible ads, both of them :(

Oh well, I'm grateful I finally get to save some money :lol:

[doc005]

Thanks!

[baberg]

That's a decent price on R6:Vegas for X360, but I got it before Christmas with the $20-off-$50 GCO. Thanks Speedy!

[doc005]

is this a mistake for the CC ads


PC GAMES:


Command & Conquer 3 >>>>> $379.99

[speedy1961]

is this a mistake for the CC ads


PC GAMES:

Yes.


Thanks

[icedout297]

Vice City for PSP @ $19.99. I'll pick that up.

[Apossum]

Just posting to say that may be the best gif I've ever seen. :rofl:

[shrike4242]

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.

[Tsukento]

Hm. Brain Age for $14? Sounds good to me.

[wolverinefactor]

Good price on Brain age.... Thankfully I'm poor so I can't be tempted right now.

[Tsukento]

Sale doesn't happen until two weeks from now, anyways. XD

[whoknows]

I might get TMNT for $29.99....I've been meaning to play it.

As always, thanks Speedy!

[Justin42]

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)

[Blade70]

I'll get GBA Mario cart! been starving to play some some mario kart after playing the DS version.

[wampa8jedi]

ooooOOooo, Shrek Babies ;)

[xbltheshadow]

Yea, nothing for me either.

[Backlash]

Brain Age for me! Thanks!

[speedy1961]

ooooOOooo, Shrek Babies ;)

Actually I think that they're Shrek mutant babies.

[regisphilbi0]

Brain Age for me! thanks

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.

[Tsukento]

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.

[bobthecat23]

meh thanks anyway speedy

[projectionist]

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.

You should throw the idea out to Cheapy D. I'm game and perhaps Wombat is as well.

[J7.]

Rainbow 6 Vegas for $39.99 seems like a great deal. To bad I have no money, I'll wait for the next drop.

Target

PS2 Games:

PS2 32MB Memory Card >>>> $22.99

Speedy1961


I take it this is a 3rd party memory card. I remember seeing pics of a Sony Branded larger PS2 memory card but I doubt this is it.

[tobin]

Thanks a load Speedy, You just saved me $20 on R6V

[speedy1961]

The Brand is Datel Max.

[abhinav]

Agreed. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories >>>> $19.99 also sounds rather sweet. Thank you Speedy.

[JohnnyDrama]

thanks Speedy

[eugaet]

I'm in for Brain Age.

[MrDemonicAngel]

i might bite the 13.99 mario kart and brain age...

[grendel19]

GAMERS: Get 2 Free HD-DVD movies of your choice with the purchase of an XBOX 360 HD-DVD player (add – on component) // HD-DVD player price is $199.99 // Free HD-DVD movie value = $59.98
That's a pretty sweet deal, especially if they still let you use the $40 off $199 coupon. Makes me wish I should have waited.

[psychobrawler]

Funny how the week the Halo 3 beta starts, Crackdown is in all the ads again. If someplace had the sense to have it on sale that week, they'd probably do pretty good...

[ozzymandd]

Nice, gonna have to pick up Mario Kart.

[Rockgamer]

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.

[ajumbaje]

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?

[Scholarly_Sam]

Might be time for me to get VCS on PSP. Maybe.

[speedy1961]

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.

[icyjones]

That's a pretty sweet deal, especially if they still let you use the $40 off $199 coupon. Makes me wish I should have waited.
agreed, as a new 360 owner, i might get in on that. the hd-dvd deal at cc that is.

[wampa8jedi]

agreed, as a new 360 owner, i might get in on that. the hd-dvd deal at cc that is.

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 ;)

[NolbertoS]

Just posting about speedy's sig..damn..that's one awesome gif, as a huge Trekkie..I approve :D

[red flare graf]

Hm. Brain Age for $14? Sounds good to me.

Yep, pretty much all I see.

[speedy1961]

Just posting about speedy's sig..damn..that's one awesome gif, as a huge Trekkie..I approve :D

Wait til you see TONIGHT's......

The SILLIEST thing I've ever found......

[RelentlessRolento]

Looks like Killzone Liberation is finally dropping.

Also, nice to see the no interest for 18 months for use on game consoles... time to get a PS3 maybe?

[Ski Hawk]

Geez, I wish I lived near a Circuit City, stupid ND...

Hopefully BB will have Sonic and the Secret RIngs on sale, or something else good..

[Strider2K99]

Nothing for me at BB either. Thanks speedy.

[Rodster]

Just posting to say that may be the best gif I've ever seen. :rofl:

LMAO that gif is ace. :applause:

[bobthecat23]

speedy no 360 elite mention in the BB ad ? :(

[bardockkun]

Any reviews on that Pyramat G-Flex Gaming Chair in the Best Buy ad? Also is that on sale or normal asking price?

[W0lfRHart]

XD. love your sig speedy

[speedy1961]

Any reviews on that Pyramat G-Flex Gaming Chair in the Best Buy ad? Also is that on sale or normal asking price?

That is the sale price.

From what I see, it normally goes for $70 - $80.

[speedy1961]

speedy no 360 elite mention in the BB ad ? :(


No.....


Sorry

[lordwow]

Thanks as always Speedy, I think I'll stay out of BB for the next few weeks.

[Poolking99]

Nothin for me, holding out until Mario Party for Wii and a deal on 360.

Thanks!

[Import]

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.

[Scottish]

Thanks, Speedy. Looking forward to picking up Rainbow Six: Vegas.

[eugaet]

Thanks, just picked up Brain Age at BB for $8.99 + tax after pricematch and $5-off coupon.

[TehTriggerman]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories >>>> $19.99


Argh! I was just there today and got MK unchained for 19.99..Oh well Payday is Friday :D

[Zeeman]

Picked up the last copy of Brain Age at the Emeryville Circuit City today... I'd rather use that to test my knowledge rather than these stupid finals I have this week.

[Ruahrc]

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).

Ruahrc

[bisquit]

Fear for $40 doesn't sound too bad

[Ranger Rick]

Thanks, just picked up Brain Age at BB for $8.99 + tax after pricematch and $5-off coupon.

Hey not bad! Didn't think of this.

[eau]

Hey not bad! Didn't think of this.
It is a big YMMV anyway. Most stores would not let you double dip on a PM + coupon.

Ruahrc

Avoid it...

[eugaet]

It is a big YMMV anyway. Most stores would not let you double dip on a PM + coupon. It's worth a shot, though...worst they can do is say no. 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]

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.

[Chris in Cali]

Hmm... thinking about picking up that HD DVD player with three free movies.

[eugaet]

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.

[Wozzer]

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...
