I didn't know Kohl's carried games. I might need to check them out next time I'm in the area.

07-13-2004, 04:18 PM
i would have had no clue that they carry them but i walk in and there they are. i've found games, not at good prices and not any good games, at places like T.J. Maxx and accessories at Ross.

Kohl's USED to... I don't know if urs is one of the rare exceptions that still does... cause I remember finding Earthworm Jim 2 out of the packaging there once when I was younger, and giving it to the cashier... He wanted to let me keep it or at least sell it to me for next to nothing since they'd have to send it back regardless but his manager wouldn't let him... man I was bummed.

I think they offically got rid of their electronics department around the time the SNES was dying out.

Kohl's is only about 5 years old here, in Texas. we have no electronics section. i did notice some mp3 player there today too. out in a walkway.

umm..if a game isnt $5 is it really a deal anymore?

I think there has been a new standard set. Not saying I like it. :-)

Yeah a budget department store like say a Belks... clothing, some toys, linens, shoes, kitchen products (pots and pans etc), cheap jewelery.. that sort of thing. When I was little the electronics section along with their scant selection of toys is the only thing that kept me sane when my mom dragged me there... so I pity the kids that have to amuse themselves there now.

Just wait until Cristmas. I think Metal Gear, Metroid, and Halo 2 will change the perception of "if its not 5 its too much"

Clothing stores aren't exactly the first place people will go to for games, and I don't there's much incentive to go since not many of them do have games. I'll keep an eye out if I'm ever there, though, but I won't expect much.

Eh, if I remember kohl's correctly they used to have a video games/toys section, but gradually phased it out.

Baybrook/Houston Kohl's has the games in a stand-up display in front of the men's registers. Plenty of copies of Pirates of the Caribean for $19.99, and a few copies of Morrowind GOTY. Seems as if some people hid the Morrowind copies behind the Pirates games.... but anyway, there are a few games there.

I had no idea they sold games. I thought they were like a Mervyns, where they just sold clothes and housewares. I've always passed by the store in Murrieta, perhaps I should pop in there sometime. Thanks for mentioning they (may) sell games, I would have never known.

We have a Kohl's right near my CC too, odd.

Anyway, Kohl's is a lot like Mervyn's or Ross, kinda discount clothing/department stores. As far as I know, the Kohl's here doesn't have games or electronics.

My Kohls got rid of games ages ago. I remember picking up Spider-Man vs. Kingpin (Sega CD) and Illusions of Gaia (SNES) for like $5 each there when they were getting rid of games.

btw, Fireball I saw Morrowind: GOTY at Best Buy the other day for $19.99 and I almost bought it, but ended up spending an extra $20 and I bought Riddick.

Yeah, Kohl's had a small electronics section a long time ago. Whoever said it phased out around the end of the SNES era was about right.

Funnily enough I work at the Kohl's corporate office designing the ads but never even knew about the games until I went to a store last week to buy a wedding present.
They never advertised them as far as I know.

I'd recommend waiting for them to hit further clearance since the selection wasn't that great.

The last time, I went to Kohl's was last Christmas. I didn't see any video games in the men's department. I don't know if, I want to go all the way there to see if they sell games...

Khol's replaced all the Caldor's and mainly only sell clothes, do they really need an huge store like that for clothes? How much space to t-shirts, jeans, and underware take up?

lol! A lot when they're selling tons of cheap crap. Stay far away from the house brand stuff like Sonoma and Croft & Barrow, the quality is horrible. Even if you get it on clearance it usually isn't worth it. The name brand stuff like Levi's, Lee and Docker's is usually okay. Of course, you didn't hear this from me. :wink:

I'm pretty sure The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition, will drop to $20, everywhere, before the end of the year...

I noticed this over at FW. This might make some of the Kohl's deals even better.

EDIT: Supposedly only Kohl's card members get this in the mail.

"Everybody! Check your Kohl's Sales paper, I got one yesterday and threw it in the trash and noticed there was something on the back! It's a $10 gift card! (It's in the dorm and back to school ad). I've read the card and can not find any catches. You can use any payment method and its good with any sale!"
