Tony Hawk Project 8 and Downhill Jam $9.97 at Costco B&M

[victorguttmann]

Just got back from Costco and they had the Downhill Jam and Project 8 games for $9.97 after a manufacturer's instant rebate. I saw Project 8 for PS3, PS2, Xbox and Downhill Jam for GBA and NDS. I didn't look for Wii and 360 sadly... (too distracted by the pizza waiting for me in the food court).

I picked up the PS3 version for 14.08 after tax (original price gets taxed).

This was in the Livermore, CA costco.

Happy hunting.

[Decker]

Whoa! I'll stop there after work today. Thanks OP!

[Rozz]

tag, thanks OP. I want THP8 for 360.

[kell]

How much was the instant rebate?

Aren't Costco deals normally YMMV?

[TehTriggerman]

Whoa!

Thanks OP..I wanted to stop at Costco to get some gasoline..er liquid Gold...Im in for a copy if I can snag one.

[Gerber]

I just came here to post this. Anyway grabbed the 360 version for $9.97 +tax.

Did you happen to see if the wii version was on sale? :)

[Cry Havoc]

I stopped by mine during lunch. They didn't have any of these games at all.

[kell]

Did you happen to see if the wii version was on sale? :)

Yes, it is $9.97. Saw that and the others but couldn't buy any as I don't have a membership :bomb: .

[bigsyxxy]

Just picked one up from the San Jose, CA for 360...the price says $53.99 on the box with NO MENTION of any rebate but rings up as $45.97 w/a $36.00 instant coupon...had about 4 more left in stock.

[thahamburglir]

so, basically if its not marked, you just have to walk up the the cash register and it should ring up the manufacturers coupon automatically? I always feel wierd when it rings up normal price and my only explaination is, uhh, the internet said it would be cheaper. Anyway, thanks a lot, this is quite a good deal

[Redeema]

I was going to Costco for something else, but I'm definitely looking for this one.

[aTaRiFrEaK223]

I just got Downhill Jam and THP8 (360) for 10 a piece. My Costco also had Downhill Jam for GBA and DS ($10). And they also had THP8 for PS2 and PS3 ($10). This is one heck of a deal.

[Gerber]

For what it's worth it was marked well at the store I was in. They had 20 in stock on the 360 and lots of PS3/Wii also.

(Winston Salem, NC)

[Cmosfm]

Dammit why is there no Costco around here? I'd buy one of every version!

[GrilledWitOnions]

Thinking about getting a membership to do this (and because this last year there have been tons of dvds I missed out on w/no membership).

[Darkprime]

A costco opens by my house tomorrow (grand opening). I'll have to check this out.

[Calico]

Struck out at the Santa Clara, CA location. They have 14 (for the 360) in the computer inventory, but didn't have a single actual game.

They looked for 10-15 minutes and couldn't find any.

It took them a while to find mine in the cage today. They were tucked away in a little box behind some other games.

Awesome will try to get down there tomorrow and see if I can snag a copy.

Are you saying at that very location?

[MikeE21286]

No Costco By Me :(

[Prepster]

Damit, the one day I forget to check cag a great deal like this comes up. Well I know where I am going first thing in the morning before garage sailing. Thanks OP.

[Import]

Will check tomorrow after work. Wouldn't mind THP8 for the 360 for 10 bucks.

[eau]

Which platform is the best for the Project 8?

[tenzor]

questions for everyone who got in on this deal so far 1. Was there a sign indicating the instant rebate? The OP mentioned it so I figure there was a sign at his location, but a few other people say they were mark at regular price, but went through during the ring up process 2. Did the 360/PS3 versions require you to bring up a empty box to the register to acquire the actual copy?

[Wario64]

Which platform is the best for the Project 8?

I'm guessing the X360, but it's weird cause the X360 demo plays far better than the actual retail version. The demo actually runs in a pretty constant 60 FPS but the framerate is all over the place in the final version

1. My first Costco didn't have any of them. I went to another Costco and they were all still marked full price, but they were thrown in a bin with a sign showing the rebate.

Picked up Downhill Jam for the Wii. Thanks OP!!!

Did the retail version run at 60fps in the skate park where the demo took place? Or was it already all over the place there?

Perhaps in the demo the rest of the world wasn't in memory hogging the resource.

The demo actually runs in a pretty constant 60 FPS but the framerate is all over the place in the final versionAww seriously? I played the demo at my friends house and it was really cool. Does the slow frames really detract from the experience?

Went to 2 Costcos, both had the games marked as $9.97. One had signage above stating the instant rebate. Unfortunately, in AZ you have to pay sales tax on the amount before the coupon which adds a few bucks, but still a good deal. Luckily my parents are in town and I was able to snag a couple games.

If your store doesn't have them marked they should still ring up $10 as this appears to be nation wide.

I got Project 8 for the PS3 because of the controller. I think Gamespot reviews seemed to like the 360 version better, but that may have been due to online play, which doesn't matter to me.

EDIT: It looks like Gamespot gives the edge to the 360 version for the online play and the framerate is more stable on the 360.

[argyle]

Sucks, no Costco around here for about 300 miles. :-(

[kevzik]

My Costco had then priced with the stock tags, but above there was signage explaining the deal. I too had to pay the original tax., but o well.

[supaet]

yah, tax sucks, I paid like 4 bucks on tax for each :-/

[moojuice]

Does costco check your membership I.D photo at all? I personally don't have a card, but my parentals do. The thing is, it is the credit card/membership card combo thingy. My dad is going to leave for work tommrow before I will wake up, so if I go, I will have to borrow my moms...which I look nothing like.

I don't think they check your photo id at the entrance, but they might at the cashier.

[Redeema]

I've only been asked for ID once in the near ten years I've had my card. I've never bothered to take the picture, and still only asked once. If it was your mom's card, though it'd be a dead giveaway.

I got a copy, had to pay sles tax on original price, but still worth it. Oh and every copy was tagged and the employees all seemed to know about it because no less than like 4 employees mentioned it.

Thanks OP!

[echostormfury]

Hate me peeps for saying this, but picked up 48 PS3 copies at 3 Costcos (freak I don't know why they build them so close around here!) - Not a 360 one at anyone of them though, will help pay for graduate school :P Thanks, OP; sorry folks in my area

[somahead33]

Great deal. May have to drag the girlfriend down tomorrow to make use of her membership. Tank is running a bit low anyways. Thanks OP

What area is this, I pray this isnt around me..

[victorguttmann]

Wow. This was the first time I've ever posted a deal on this site or kept track of one and I've got to say this is one damn enthusiastic crowd. I posted this over at Fat Wallet and a total of like 9 people replied. 47 replies over here. Wow. To everyone who was able to get one (...or 48) congratulations. To everyone who didn't, sorry about that. Anyways, thats all I wanted to say.

[SteveGo]

Just a heads up, but I work at the Grant Rd. Tucson Costco, and saw someone buying 10 copies of Tony Hawk's Project 8 for PS3 I believe, so if no one can find a copy at that store, you can thank that lurker or member, who will likely put them on ebay.

Congrats to you, hoarder, what a valuble member of our community you are. The sad thing is that I may keep deals I see at our store to myself, just so you don't find out about them.

[io]

Went to 2 Costco's - the first had signs up for the "instant rebate" for the PS3, PS2, and DS games. Of course, they didn't have the 2 I wanted - 360 and/or Wii (probably prefer the Wii one, actually). There was not even a sign for those versions, so I'm assuming they didn't have them at all when the rebate started.

Then I hit another Costco I'd never been to before. NO signs up so I thought I'd get lucky. Well, they didn't have any of the next gen versions, just the PS3 and DS games. Meh...

I might try one more tomorrow, but anywhere with signs I don't expect the games to last long through a busy Saturday at Costco.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up OP. I think this may be the first ever great game deal at Costco, if I'm not mistaken. It was nice to finally get something out of that membership besides bulk toilet paper, bottled water, paper towels, diaper wipes, and cheese (which is mostly what we buy there ;)).

By the way, anyone planning on selling these on eBay may be in for a surprise. They don't sell for that much to begin with, and it will only get worse over the next week or two :lol:. Anyway, I'm going to assume echostormfury is just joking, but one can never tell with an Internet post...

You know, I can't say with certainty but I'm assuming the PS3 version probably trades in for more than $10. I 'unno but it would be a slight way to save yourself from a complete strikeout of a deal.

[torifile]

Anyone know what these are trading for at EB? I checked the wiki but the PS3 price is really old. I figure I could get a few days playing THP8 on my PS3 and then trade it in if I'm not going to lose money.

[moojuice]

Thanks pasta and Red. I suppose it doesn't help that mom mom still has her maiden name too, and they gave me my dad's last name.

At EBGames \ Gamestop, it is something in the area of $27, whereas GameCrazy is giving $33 in credit for it. I bought a copy of the PS3 version for myself to trade in and for my brother yesterday!

Awesome deal.

Edit: Actually, I take that back, I just checked my receipt and it was $35 in credit at GameCrazy, but that was with the membership there upping the amount a few dollars.

[JJSP]

360 version trades for $16 at EB.

[nonggame]

ummm

[duran603]

Just picked up Project 8 (ps3) and Downhill Jam (wii) for 26.xx. There were literally tons left for the PS3. I also saw a bunch left for the Wii, DS, and 360. May go by tomorrow and pick up the 360 version. BTW, this is the costco in Fort Lauderdale Florida at University and 595.

[ogbaka]

I don't think they check your photo id at the entrance, but they might at the cashier.

they do check at cashier and if caught, they take your card away.

[Decker]

Thanks again! There were tons of PS3, DS and Wii versions available, all labled $9.98 on the stickers. I searched and eventually found the cardboard box placeholder for the last 360 version, still labled $46. Tax is still pre-rebate, despite the new price tag. I picked up the 360 and DS versions and the total after tax was $25.

[nonggame]

Oh snap GameCrazy give THP8 31 bones for PS3 and 25 bones for the WIi Woot

[ogbaka]

i called gamestop and 360 trades for 14 and ps3 trades for 15... add 10% extra trade in with card and 10% with coupon in mag. then add another 20% if trade in for halo 3. and also with trade 2 360 games, get addition of $5 per game trade in.

will be going to costco in an hour.


edited:

just called gamecrazy, ps3 trades for 31.82 and 360 trades for 27.49
use MVP card and get addition of 10%. two games per trade per system max. sweet deal for me.

now definitely checking costco.

[torifile]

Damn. No Gamecrazy in my area. Too bad.

[DirkBelig]

Picked up a copy for the 360 for @ 12.73 at Madison Hts., MI store. It looked like they had a good supply of the others on hand.

I'm not messing with trade-ins for a few bucks or ganking them all to Ferengi on eBay. I bought one cuz that's all I need. Better to allow more gamers to get in on the deal than be a greedy bastage.

Thanks to the OP!

I think the OP made a post a FW aswell....thanks OP, but this is what happens above when you post at FW.

[mgriff]

My local indy store actually gave me $20 cash for the PS3 version..

[trip1eX]

I was at CostCo today for other stuff and saw this deal. I picked up a copy for $10 for the 360.

It's not going for much on Ebay. Latest new copy went for $25 with shipping.

[hostyl1]

BTW: this only runs through 5-10-07 (Thursday). I didnt look at this site last nite (out seeing Spiderman 3) and just fell into it. Picked up a 360 version. I might go back for a DS version too.

[xbox_mole]

Head up to those in PA. The King of Prussia Costco does NOT have any THP8 for XB360 despite having nearly 20 cardboard boxes out in the games area for them. I was told they were going to pull the rest, but I don't know if they did. I wanted to get 360 and Wii and they had to refund me the price of the 360 version.

Got myself a copy for the Wii and they had about 8 copies left and about 2 copies for the DS. I believe I saw that the deal ends on 5/8/07 based on the signs above the game area.

Our Costco here did NOT charge the tax on the pre-coupon price. Tax was charged on the $9.97 price.

[roguevara]

Thanks OP. Just wanted to thank you.

Ended up with TH8 and Spiderman 3 for 360, Downhill Jam for Wii, 2 Tickets to see Spiderman movie, Costco membership, $71 dollar GC to GameCrazy, and $40 in groceries. All for $50 out of pocket and some slick trade-ins.

fuck yeah.

[FFMooglestar]

Picked up one each of the Downhill Jam for the Wii and THP8 for 360. My store had them still marked at $45.xx Thanks for the Deal OP.

[Rozz]

Got the 360 version for $10, thanks a bunch OP.

They only had two copies of the Xbox 360 version left and 1 Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam on GBA. Also 1 for the original Xbox. Nothing else though.

[Troz1820]

Thanks OP! Picked up Downhill Jam for the Wii and tried to get the 360 version, however, they were OOS despite the 20+ boxes on the shelves. Methinks someone took one box to the register and cleaned out all their copies.

There were more copies of for the Wii, GBA, and DS if anyone is looking for one. My Costco charged tax on the pre-sale price, so the total is around $14.

[tenzor]

Well I went to two different costcos today

The first one had only the Wii, DS versions in stock, and I picked up the last Wii one. Thanks OP! However I still wanted the PS3 or 360 version and decided to hit up another costco. Well i get to the other costco, and sure enough it looked like they were sold out when I went to the video games section. However I found a Tony Hawk 360 display box mixed in with all their other 360 games. I was excited about getting the last copy, so I quickly bring it up to the register to pay. So since it was a display box we were suppose to pay first then take the display to the merchandise pick up to get the actual game. So when I go to pick the game up there the guy there says "Oh another Tony hawk?" in a shocking voice.

Then he tries to look for it, but then comes back telling me they are sold out, and this display box wasn't suppose to be out there. Then on the floor I see all the Tony Hawk display boxes for Wii, Ps3, 360. The guy tells me some guy came in earlier, and bought like 66 copies combined of all three versions.

This was at the Fullerton, CA Costco btw, I sure hope that person who bought all 66 copies was from FW, and not from CAG because if you are from CAG you don't belong here you greedy son of a bitch.

Costco should have limited each game to 1 per person. The world would be a better place if greedy people like that were all rounded up and shot.

[YoshiFan1]

They would never do that since it's a wholesale type store

[CocheseUGA]

Thanks OP. Just wanted to thank you.

fuck yeah.

Post about it some more so we can hate you even more.

[torifile]

Costco should have limited each game to 1 per person. The world would be a better place if greedy people like that were all rounded up and shot.
Except that they *want* to get rid of them, not limit people from moving them out the door like they do for hotter items.

[hostyl1]

collectordragon: Yoshifan is right. The truth of the mater is, warehouse clubs like Costco, BJs, etc. *expect* their customers to buy multiples of stuff. Remember, they cater to small businesses. Much of the products they sell are eventually re-sold. Costco even has special "business members only" hours Mon-Fri before the store opens to others. They are more like a distribution center than a retail store. When my family used to own a restaurant, we often bought stuff from warehouse clubs with the sole intent of re-selling it for less than retail, but more than warehouse prices (mostly candy and chips).

It may suck for individual CAGs, but it's business as usual for Costco.

[jazzman]

Thanks OP, picked up a 360 version (last one @ Laguna Niguel). They did have some copies for the PS3, but that was this morning. Almost purchased a couple of PS3 THP8, but decided to leave it for other CAG's.

[io]

Yeah, I'm guessing this hit FW bit time and there's little likelihood of finding any at this point (except GBA/DS/PS2 versions of course).

I went to another Costco Saturday at 1pm or so with the hope of finding a Wii and/or 360 version. I found one PS3 box and figured I'd pick it up for trading. After waiting 20 minutes in line and buying it the woman comes back out holding the box and says "Yeah, someone bought all of these this morning and we thought we cleared out the boxes but we must have missed one - but I can give you a refund!" :bomb:.

Look, if you're going to fucking let someone buy ALL of them, at least make them take a box up for each fucking copy! What, they just let someone go up with one box and say he wanted them all? Bastards...

Then I went back to the store that had 10+ copies last night when I was there. It was cleaned out as well (but that was late afternoon so it could have been just regular shoppers at that point). Had I known how this would go down I would have bought 4 or 5 last night for distributing to CAG's. Better that than having them get flooded on eBay for $5-$8 profit for some FWer.

[dinovelvet]

Oh snap GameCrazy give THP8 31 bones for PS3 and 25 bones for the WIi Woot

Anyone know what GameRUSH gives for it?

[Ma12kez]

Thanks OP! Picked up the Wii and 360 versions.

[gamerguy2k7]

id need to signup for this crap and have to pay for the membership just to buy it for that price. Not worth it

[ogbaka]

Anyone know what GameRUSH gives for it?

Gamerush gives alittle more. ps3 for 36 and 360 for 32. not sure about wii... if anyone know plz post.

[kevzik]

EB/GS is giving 15 for the ps3...15! what a JOKE. They are selling it for 39.99...

[CocheseUGA]

Anyone know what GameRUSH gives for it?


Or you could, I dunno, trade it to someone here who really wants it?

I swear, this community becomes less of one each day.

[ogbaka]

i read that the Wii version is not that good. got only a 6/10 on gamespot.com
the 360 version is actually fun. got one at costco. the rest were sold out. =(

[TehTriggerman]

Thanks OP.Picked up some for myself and picked some up for my buds that work at Gamecrazy. Picked up Wii and 360...and a few 'extra' there was enough to go around. Kinda bummed they didnt have Original XBOX copies. Oh well.

The Wii version is AWSOME! I bought it in Feb 07 and I wish I would have bought it on Launch day along with my Wii.
I think it got bad reviews because they thought it was a step backwards in the Tony Hawk series. I think it was a fresh change. It works GREAT!

[TehTriggerman]

thanks again OP.

[malalrd]

I am not sure if this was even mentioned, but does anyone know WHY it is this damn cheap? Price mistake? Clearence? I wanna know as I own stocks for both ATVI and COST... Sounds like a screw up to me!

[nonggame]

does ANYONE kno if they saw PSP copies for $10 at costco???

I've been wanting that game since it came out,

but price drops for Tony hawk games are as guaranteed as death & taxes.

YES, every system including DS, PSP, PS3, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2

[abhinav]

I will go to costco soon to check this out, thanks OP

[tenzor]

I wonder if other activison games are on sale like Marvel Ultimate Alliance or Call Of Duty 3

[TehTriggerman]

Sterling Height MI Costco Store was OOS of the PSP version. I didnt see any other banners for other activision games:cry:

Thanks OP. Just wanted to thank you.

It's not meant as a change of direction in the series, it's an offshoot.

[petersen98374]

I went to another Costco looking for the Wii version (already got the 360 one) but there were none.

Did anyone pick more than one for the Wii and is willing to trade it?

They had 6 or so copies of the Wii version left at Costco yesterday.

[torifile]

Guys, check this thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136941&goto=newpost). I've got some extra copies and I'm selling them at cost in case you couldn't score one.

Notice any ps3 versions there? I don't feel like heading up to Montgomeryville

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm gonna check this week... >_< DS and 360 ones sound nice.

[Xander86420]

Thanks op!!! Awesome deal. I picked up one for myself and one for my nephew for the Wii.

[seanr1221]

Yes! I was able to get the Ps3 and Wii versions. The guy at the register almost didn't sell them to me saying, "These prices can't be right."

Oh and if you are reading this Scorch, I looked, no 360 versions there :(

[torifile]

Holy shit. I go away for a few hours and my PM box is flooded with requests. I'm going to go through them one at a time. I'll try to respond ASAP.

[ogbaka]

How much was the instant rebate?

Aren't Costco deals normally YMMV?

not this costco deal. it's nationwide.

but someone cleaned out my costco already... want to get one for each system... :bomb:

[h3llbring3r]

THANKS! There were a ton of the PS versions left and about 5 360's copies at the Cumberland Mall Costco in metro-ATL. Didn't see any Wii's left.

[pacifickarma]

FYI, the Stockton, CA Costco had only the 360 version in stock. I picked one up, and there were at least 3 boxes left. I looked for DS and PS3 and didn't see any in stock.

[shill88]

FYI 360 OOS at Goleta CA not sure about any of the other verisons.

[JoMasta]

Just went to the Kirkland, WA store and they only had the PS2 versions left. :(

[Dante Devil]

Two copies left of TH Downhill Jam @ the Yakima Costco in WA.

[wizzyx3]

I hope no one cleaned out the Costco in Livonia-Middlebelt, MI
I had to work all day so I didn't get a chance to check.

[somahead33]

I wish I knew people were having trouble finding this still. I went by Costco today thinking everything would be picked over and there were literally dozens of boxes of the 360 and PS3 Project 8. I picked up the last NDS copy of Downhill Jam though. By the way, this was at the Costco located near the Puente Hills mall in CA. I hadn't checked the internet since this deal was posted so I figured it was widely available.

[redgopher]

Since I'm REALLY broke, a buddy loaned me $30 to do this -- grabbed 3 copies of P8 on 360 (not 48 like some douchebag), traded a couple in and got Pokemon Pearl, Luigi's Mansion and Riddick, and kept one copy of P8 for myself.

Nail the trick FTW

[Cable387]

Just came back from the Costco in San Bernardino, CA on Hospitality Lane (just adding since I don't know if there are more than one in San Bernardino). No copies of the 360 versions, 2-3 PS3 copies (after I grabbed one :)), and a crapload of Downhill Jam for the Wii. Didn't check out the portables.

[Mordal]

Sorry if this has already been posted but I just saw that Costco will give you a 10 dollar gift certificate when you get their membership. It's 50 bucks with 10gc, but their memberships come with a full refund if you are unsatisfied with your membership, no questions asked. Get the gc use it, cancel if you think paying 50 bucks for a 10 dollar game isn't making you happy. Or you can join costco for real and get a free video game.

Heres the link to the sheet you need to take to the counter:

[Bezerker]

Im suprised you didnt say to then take your free game for a $59.99 refund at Walmart...

[fshaia]

Only problem is that all the Costco's in my area are OOS, I wonder if it is possible they could restock before the rebate on the game expires

[Mordal]

how is returning a game to a store you didn't buy it from the same as this?

questionable ethics? maybe. But if your not happy with the membership you will get the membership fee back, their policy, not mine.

I'm sure some people who were on the fence will keep their membership, and even if half dont, costco still comes out with new members. I was just pointing it out, thats all.

I want to just stand outside a costco and Napalm anyone coming out with a stupid ammount of copies.

[blandstalker]

I went to Costco Irvine since someone here said Costco Laguna Niguel was out.

Nothing. One PS2 Project 8. No 360, Wii, PS3, or DS Tony Hawk games. And no signage, which means it was people who knew what they were looking for.

[monkeydeew]

empty boxes in the isle doesnt mean they have the game in stock

my costco had 8 boxes for 360 but after paying for them, the merchendise pick up gave me one copy and a wad of cash (refund)

I hope this is allowed: I just made a trade thread for this specific sale, so we can put it all in one place.

It seems these games are abundant in some places and not others. I went to 2 Costcos Friday night, right after this hit. One only had the PS3 version (in addition to PS2/DS/GBA). The other only had DS I think. It appeared neither had the 360 or Wii ones to begin with. Both of the stores had pathetic little Wii sections with a couple copies of Zelda/SSX Blur/Super Paper Mario and that was it. Then I went to another Saturday that was sold out but they only had the PS3 one (of the big 3) originally. So it appears there was never a chance around me to even get the 360 and Wii versions to begin with. It is astounding to me that people are still finding these. I'm going to try one more store Monday afternoon, but I'm not expecting much...

Yea IO, I was very shocked yesterday that my CostCo still had copies for every system (except 360). The store was packed too. All those parents walking by signs for 10.00 games and not snatching them up? WTF?

So if you're going to the King of Prussia, PA CostCo today, good luck.

[YoshiFan1]

I would have thought KOP would be one of the first stores to sell out since that area always seems to be crowded (I won't even go near the mall area in November/December).

Maybe I'll head up there later this week since the version I'm trying to get is the PS2 one and I would think that would be the system that has the least demand.

Really? I love going there during the christmas season, it's total chaos :lol: (for anyone wondering why, we're talking about the second biggest mall in the nation)

But if you were looking for the PS2 version Yoshi, there were about 6 or so left. Good luck trying to grab one.

[lurknomore]

Gaithersburg, MD Costco has been cleared out. They only had the ps2 and the ds version, if memory serves me. Still looking for the 360 and the Wii THs. It looks like I missed this deal.

[doubledown]

So, anyone check the MI stores for PS3 or 360 copies? Roseville or Sterling Heights would be the two closest.

[Wanderlai]

There are a ton of PS3, a few 360, no Wii, and some DS Tony Hawks at the Winston-Salem, NC Costco. I would have picked up more copies but my local EB/Gamestops dont take multiples of the same game. My local FYE doesnt take trade ins if they have more than 2 used copies in stock. Anyway I picked up 2 PS3 and 1 360 version.

I went to the Sterling Heights MI one on Friday and they had 6-7 Wii versions MANY 360 versions..didnt look for DS..PSP was OOS and they had half a dozen PS2 ones and NO xbox versions. Again, That was Friday at 630pm

EDIT:

Oh and there is some pretty extensive construction going on there on M59..so expect to be delayed..hopefully it wrapped up. Friday was a &*#$-ing nightmare.

[jtrey333]

Just got back from the Woodinville, WA Costco. They were out of the 360 version, and I was able to snag the last two PS3 Project 8s and the last Downhill Jam. Unfortunately, I grabbed the last ones they had in stock.

[raisin]

got back from Orlando... took a few Wii copies, they had XBOX/DS and PS2 copies left.. i left about 5-6 wii copies..

[io]

Man, I wish my Costco's had the Wii (or 360) versions - like I said before, it didn't appear they had any even when this sale started. I hit up my 4th (and final) store today and all they had was the PS2 version...

[dhs odium]

The Orlando Costco at University and Forsythe had Wii and GBA/DS versions left. I really wanted a 360 version for myself, but I settled on Downhill Jam Wii. When I went to check out the cashier said someone came and bought all the 360 copies, like 10 of them, to sell on ebay.

There's 47 new THP8 for 360 listed for sale now, not nearly as many as I expected to be honest. There aren't that many that have closed at this point either (since this sale started).

But this one is kind of funny. Something is strange here, see if you can figure it out. Either the guy is clueless or a scammer:

In either case he's likely to get some bad feedback or have to issue refunds.
He's also an idiot as a seller because he's got 5 all ending at the same time.

To contrast, there are 93 of the PS3 version up for sale, which is indirect evidence that this one was easier to find.
But if you are looking for one, there's another idiot seller who may have made it easy for you. This guy:

has 18 of them all at $14.99 with free shipping all ending around noon tomorrow (along with 7 Downhill Jam for Wii). While it is possible all of those will get bid up to $20-$30 (as others seem to be ending at currently) there a good chance for a steal or two here, especially considering the free shipping. I may try to snipe one of his Downhill Jams myself ;).

(And just for the sake of 100% completion, since I tend to be that way with my games ;), there are 58 new copies of Wii Downhill Jam for sale).

[sonderiaom]

MFing scalpers. I bought two of downhill jams a couple days ago to do a trade in at GC as it seems like downhill is pretty abundant all across the board. While I was there I asked for the trade-in value of the ps3's as I saw that we had 15 of them when I was there a half hour before getting my paycheck. After hearing that they got $31 not to mention the 10% from the card, I was going to go back and pick up a couple, only around 4 so I'd leave some for any enterprising people.

I go back to costco and I see that there are no boxes at all. I go check the computer and it says that there are still 15 in stock but it was updated 20 minutes previous so I was hoping that the fucking scalper was walking around the building with all the boxes in the cart. I write out a pick-up slip for 4 of them to try to circumvent the guy and I pay and I go to the cage to pick it up. They only find three of them and when they ask a fellow supervisor, she says how some guy bought 12 of them and they were holding those 3 for him for later.

I hate scalpers.

[io]

sonderiaom, I wish Downhill Jam for Wii was "abundant all across the board". Here in the Portland area it didn't appear the Costco's had any to begin with. Or if they did they all got sold first thing Friday. PS3 versions appear to have been wiped out by early Saturday (based on signage I found and display boxes with no games to match :cry:).

If you can check stock and let me know if any here have Downhill Jam I'd appreciate it (maybe Salem or Albany - I've been to 4 of the 6 Portland-area ones).

Yeah, they were sold out of the 360 version since at least Saturday. They had tons of boxes, but no games. I was only able to get a copy for the Wii. Wanted to get one version of Downhill Jam (Wii) and then also Project 8 (360), but succeeded in only the Wii.

When the guy did the refund he almost forgot to take the coupon off and almost gave me $45 back.

[cdrober]

I was in the Beltsville, MD store today and they had PS2, PS3, X-360, Wii, and DS in stock. I picked up the PS3 version for $12.32 after tax. Seemed to have no problem finding it for me.

Hope this helps someone who wants it. Now, I just hope that Marvel: UA goes on this $10 sale, they still want $55 for it here...

Already bought? We'll refund you the price difference, plus an additional 10% of that difference up to 30 days after your purchase (14 days on select categories*).

Either way, simply bring in proof of price while that lower price is in effect.

You may, but chances are very good that they'll see that it's an instant rebate and refuse you. You could possibly ask the supervisors and the managers if they can print out a sign that you could take over to Best Buy. If they aren't that busy anyway.

Make sure you have some one punch in the item number for what you want, I went to the Costco in City of Industry CA. and there were no boxes or anything for the Wii, I went to the "cage" where they keep the electronics, and they had about 10 copies sitting there. They will also be able to check stock for other Costco's in your area.

[torifile]

The rebate expires on 5/10 so there may be hope that you can still get in on this deal.

If you want to have them check the computers the item numbers are:

Wii: 141837
PS3: 141875

I don't have the 360 version.

[Decker]

360 Version : 141886

[cheapfrag]

The Costco in Bridgewater NJ had a bunch of boxes for the PS3 version. You pay for the box and then take the box to Merchandise pick-up - so assuming there is one game for each empty box, this store has about 10 copies of the PS3 version. I did NOT see any other version (and I looked around for them). It costs $13.26 after tax.

[goldeneye64]

I picked up a copy for the Xbox 360 in Staten Island NY. I was going to try the PS3 trade in thing but decide it wouldn't be worth the trouble especially if I was stuck with the game. They had a few more copies for the 360 didn't count how many as well as PS3 but were out of copies for the Wii.

You won't get stuck with the game. Just return it to Costco.

And there is a way to buy things there without being a member but you have to know a member somehow. That member has to buy a cash card, then you have to go to the membership desk and get a "look pass" but tell them you want to buy with the cash card and Viola, you don't have to buy the membership but can still buy something there.

Didn't see it pointed out anywhere but in case some CAG's wanted to get in on this deal there's a way to do it without paying the $45 or so for the Costco membership - but there's a little work involved.

Costco a full refund policy on membership fees if you cancel before it runs out. All you need to do is join and pay for a membership, get the games and in a few days to a week go back and cancel (just say the prices aren't really that good or any excuse really) for a refund. Technically, you could be a hard core CAG and wait 364 days to cancel or even 10 minutes after buying the games but I'd give them a week or so myself so corporate doesn't eventually change this policy because a abuse.

What is it with all the non-Costco members? I thought everyone was a member. Hell, I've been a member since the 80's... Back then you actually had to be a federal or state employee or part of a union or something to join. Do they just let anybody join now? Sounds like it - guess things have changed ;). I was a grader when I was a junior/senior at Cal, so I used that as my 'in' back then (worked for the state, basically). This was back when it was Price Club by the way - I've only recently gotten used to calling it Costco.

I just recently upgraded to the Executive membership. I'm not really sure it was worth it but I know I get at least the difference between the regular and that back as a rebate after each year, so it doesn't really cost me anything. And I save quite a bit getting gas at Costco. The difference between that and regular stations is probably enough to pay for my regular membership.

Being an Executive member seems to get you squat besides the rebate though. They promised me all this crap ("exclusive coupons" mostly) and I haven't gotten anything I wouldn't normally get. Oh well... It sure didn't help with this deal ;).

Price Club didn't change its name to Costco. Price Club and Costco used to be two separate companies.

Here's a brief history of both from Wikipedia:

Founded by James Sinegal and Jeffrey Brotman, Costco opened its first warehouse in Seattle, Washington on September 15, 1983. Sinegal began by working for Sol Price at both FedMart and Price Club. Brotman, an attorney from an old Seattle retailing family, was also involved in retailing from an early age.

Costco’s business model was similar to that of Price Club, which was founded by Sol Price in 1976 in San Diego, California. Both companies charged a membership fee and catered primarily to small-business owners.

The two retailers were similar in size when they merged in 1993; thus, the combined company, PriceCostco, was effectively double the size of each of its parents. At that time, PriceCostco had 206 locations generating $16 billion in annual sales.

PriceCostco was initially led by executives from both companies, but then Sol and his son Robert Price founded Price Enterprises and left in 1994. The company changed the name to Costco Wholesale in 1997.

It was great of you to offer them for cost plus shipping but in the future, I would limit it to 1 a person since it sounds like someone bought them from you to resell or trade them in.

Price Club didn't change its name to Costco. Price Club and Costco used to be two separate companies.

... useless info deleted...

The company changed the name to Costco Wholesale in 1997.[/i]

Uh, "The company changed the name to Costco Wholesale". And thus what I said stands. I used to go to a place called Price Club. It merged with this other company and eventually changed it's name to Costco. As I said before, I only recently got used to calling it Costco (was still calling it Price Club for several years after the merger and name change, which came later). I never implied they up and changed their name out of the blue and was quite aware of the merger - point is the name changed, however that came to pass. No need for the history lesson :rofl:.

Anyways, can't believe people are *still* finding these things. My local Costcos were wiped clean of next-gen versions within hours of this hitting the net...

Costco in Burlington, VT were all still regular price for all systems.
Did they ring up this way at the register, or are they just tagged that way? If it's just the latter consider yourself lucky and get your ass back down there and buy 'em. You might as well buy 'em all too, because doesn't the instant rebate end tomorrow? At this point, I'd say that's fair game. i don't care if you sell them to CAG's, trade them in, whatever - I hate to see a nice sale like that go to waste :rofl: (as they will go back to regular price soon otherwise). Anyway, you are lucky because at my Costco's they were prominently tagged as being on sale and thus didn't last long.

I think it's because some of these costco's aren't putting up signage for the instant rebate. I was able to find a few 360 versions for myself + friends at the San Francisco costco, where they didn't put up signs at all.

[TehTriggerman]

My local Costco hung signage that was too high..I had to look up ..to see it..it wasnt in my normal field of vision and im 6'1" not a giant, but i didnt see it at first.

[briansraregames]

So, is this sale still going on tomorrow? (I know someone said that the rebate expired on the 10th, but does that include the 10th?) I'm thinking about taking a long drive to another costco but don't want to get there and the sale be over.

I want to know too.
Traffic is too bad today, I'll try tomorrow if the deal is still good.

[PenguinMan]

This fucking sucks, I drove for an hour to TWO different Costcos and neither had either the Xbox 360 or Wii versions. They didn't even have the little paper sign for them.

Next time call them first ?

[DesertEagleXIX]

Costco in Glendale had plenty of Wii Tony Hawk. No So Cal Costco Warehouse has 360 or Ps3 copies anymore.

I went to 3 of them Friday evening/Sat afternoon when this first broke and none had the 360 or Wii signs either - just PS3/PS2/GBA/DS. So I'm thinking they NEVER had those versions. Oh well...

[RelentlessRolento]

Just wanted to say thx to Mordal for snaggin a copy for me before it all got sold out near our closest Costco in Miami...

I snagged downhill domination for DS, while not the greatest thing ever, it's not bad.

Also, I hear the PSP version is the worst of all... they added a manual button...????

[bulldog93]

Got the last Wii version in Santa Rosa, CA. No tag, but rang up for $9.99. No 360 or PS3 versions at all.

It should go until the end of tomorrow.

They had the PS3 version? I was looking for it and none was available at Salem/Albany/Eugene Costco's by Monday.

They had the SIGNS for them ;). Except for the one I went to first (Friday night) they were sold out by Sat AM. And that first one had no more Sat evening when I realized I should grab multiples for CAG.

I'm wondering if there's been any chance for a restock though? I can't believe people are still finding these without one. I will be up there tomorrow anyway and I guess I'll check it out just in case.

[ddp72984]

this sucks, I went to my Costco (in Burbank, Illinois) and some dick bought 50 copies of the game. Blows huh

I will be up there tomorrow anyway and I guess I'll check it out just in case.Even with the ones I picked up yesterday, the Costco I went to (South County in St. Louis, MO) had over a dozen display boxes for the 360 and PS3 versions, and around a dozen+ copies of the Wii and DS versions, as well as some GBA versions. Plus some random number of Xbox & PS2 copies of THP8. I'm surprised they haven't moved like they have at other Costco, nor have we been the victim of the hoarder hordes.

Confirmed that it's going through today. This morning I just picked up two 360 versions for my nephews for $25.46 total. The Buford, GA location had just a few of the 360 versions left but had easily 20+ of the display boxes for the PS3 plus numerous of the GBA, PS2, and Xbox.

That's odd, why did my post asking for someone who has a CostCo near them to pick me up a 360 or PS3 version get deleted?

Edit: Nevermind, mods moved it from this thread to the trade thread no one is reading. :-/

Thanks to that trade thread I got both PS2 and Wii versions of Tony Hawk, so someone is reading it.

Hell, Shrike still has some PS3 versions for sale in that very thread.

I got the Wii through a poster here (before the trade thread was created), but since the cost of Paypal fee/shipping I was hoping to group a PS3/360 together. I'd much rather the 360, but it appears to be the one no one can snag.

Just because there are boxes doesn't mean there are games for them. Mine had over 20 display boxes for XB360 and after I paid and they looked for it they didn't have any at all and had to go and pull all the boxes.

It wouldn't surprise me if they had more display boxes than games, though my Costco is pretty good about keeping up on that, so I'm less worried than I would be if it wasn't my Costco.

Found a few 360s today and confirmed it is the last day!

Posted extras in the trade forum.

My Costco said on all of the signage "Tax on pre-rebate" amount, so I didn't have any reason to question it. :bomb:

[freshzen]

I paid $80 for games and $30 for taxes lol, wtf costco? >_>

Anyway, I asked the people if they had any Costco's in the city of Denver at all and they said no and I explained that it was a 10 mile drive to any Costco's for me so I wasn't sure if buying a membership was worth it and they let me buy the games w/o a membership <3

I posted the numbers that were up on ebay a few days after the sale started and I thought there were a lot then.

Now there are 122 (new) PS3 ones up for sale, 64 360 ones, and 69 Downhill Jams for Wii. This is about double what was for sale when I looked before.

Looks like some good deals might be possible on the PS3 versions, in any case ;). Once again, this is indirect proof that the PS3 version was more readily available than the 360 or Wii at Costco, which is what I observed first hand as well (though none of them were easily had here).

[rcx4]

Thanks OP! Got mine today!

[well, technically it was yesteday but anyhoo..]

In PA, the law is you pay tax on the after coupon amount since it is treated like a manufacturer's coupon. That's how some people got it for $10.xx with tax
