Well, I went to another Circuit City yesterday, in the Chicagoland area...
Circuit City
7200 W. Grand Ave.
Elmwood Park, IL 60707
(708) 453-0099
I was looking for Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO (Xbox), Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (Xbox) and the Xbox Exhibition Disc Volume 4. I did find 2 copies of Wreckless, the non-Platinum Hits versions too. But the back of the game cases had many dimple marks and scratches because the hard plastic containers the games are in have an opening in the back. So, if you live in that area and want Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions for $5, and don't mind marks and scratches on the game cases, 2 copies are waiting for you...
Oh, by the way, there are 2 versions of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 (Xbox), that have different prices. The game that has a Circuit City Value Priced sticker on the front of the game case and a SKU sticker on the back of the game case is priced at $20. The other has no Value Priced sticker on the front of the game case and there is no SKU sticker on the back of the game case. The SKU is printed on the back game label cover. That version is priced at $5...
My search still continues for...
Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO (Xbox)
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions (Xbox)
Xbox Exhibition Disc Volume 4

I've looked every where on the web site and I can't find it. Would someone please post a link right to the Capcom vs SNK 2 EO listing on the circuitcity.com web site? Also, I live in Chicago and plan on going to the CC in Niles Illinois (I only 20 minutes from my house and right next to a best buy and a GameStop). Does anyone know if the 10$ deal for thsi game is happening here as well? :idea:

Dude, the prices should be for all CC stores across the nation, it isn't YMMV. The reason you can't find the price on the website is because the website has them sold out. Hope that helps.

My last post got me thinking...
Since we found all the prices originally from the website and then applied them to the stores, and then the website sold out of those games and the price wouldn't appear anymore except at the B&M...Do you all think we possibly are missing some games from the list because they sold out at the site before we got a chance to find them?

Yeah I went back to CC for trade-in purposes and it took me a while to find any of the games. Only got 3 Havens and 1 Murakumo. They only had PH Wreckless...I didn't bother trying to have it scanned. I should have since this is the CC from Savannah and not the one in my town.

Are you sure CC lowered the price of Orta? I checked a couple of weeks ago and they hadn't. Can anyone confirm the price drop for Orta?
Dug through their 50% off bin, found orta tagged at 49.99 ( :shock: )
Had the guy scan it, rang up to 15$, with my purchase of Morrowind GOTY it came out to 9.99 :P sorry for any confusion
I don't think i was supposed to get the 10$ off discount but my employee was more interested in talking about his poptart he had for breakfast than he was about checking the deal's fine print.
Anyway, end purchase was
Xbox live 12 mo sub card: 34.99
Orta: 9.99
Morrowind, GOTY:24.99

RoboTech BattleCry - $10 (xbox)
Clock Tower 3 - $10 (PS2)
Resident Evil: Remake - $10 (GCN)
Murakumo - $5 (xbox)
whats clock tower 3 like? good or bad? as for murakumo i didn't remeber the name but the box art i do. i really wanted to try it out when it first lanched. but never did. so i guess i will try it now. they also had RE:0 for $20 but i thought i had enough games to play (still havn't played some from last cheap ass trip).
Edit- in there Bargin Bin (so to speak) they had Evergrace for $10 (PS2). i remeber its a older RPG. my friend had it and i watched him play it for a hour or so (a long time ago). but i didn't play. Is it worth $10? They also had MegaMan BattleNetwork Transmisson (GBA) (i think it was that. tomorrow when i go i will get it right) for like $12 i price checked it but don't remember the price. im going back there tomorrow because my robotech disk is scratched on the edges and a small rough scratch towards the middle and its skipping so i need to get another.

I just got back from Circuit City.
I picked up :
Murakumo for $5
NBA 2k3 (xbox) for $10
NCAA basketball 2k3(xbox) for $10
Ikaruga for $20
I am didn't notice NCAA basketball 2k3 and Ikaruga on the list above. I should have scanned NHL 2k3 as well, but I didn't think about it at the time.
Thanks to all the previous posters in this thread.
NCAA 2k3 is a fun game, but turn off the commentary, for it is atrocious.

12-30-2003, 03:18 PM
lets not put $20 games on the list because if there $20 everywhere thats not really a CC bargin. so u could jus goto BB and get it for $15. Ikuraga is $20 everywhere (im pretty shure anyway).
EDIT- ya know when i went last night they had Murakumo and all the times before they didn't so is it possible that they will keep like restocking games. Also when i went to get my friend Capcom VS. SNK 2 EO for a christmas presnt they didn't have any. went last night and they had 1 copy left. which means they apparently had got more in. Whats the deal with this. the keep staying at cheap prices but keep getting restocked. but hey whos complaing.
cegha, it's possibly they either had more stock in the back or are switching stock between local stores. or maybe smeone returned a copy of Capcom vs. SNK after xmas.

It is a good idea to bring a list. An employee who would get mad at you for having a list so that you know what you are looking for, is a messed up employee. A list will be especially useful, since most games probably will not be properly tagged, and it will save the employee from having to do countless price-checks to find out the real prices.

I don't really see how they could get mad at you. It's just your shopping list :) If you don't see a game, ask them to help, I mean they are their to help. I know there are some aceholes out there, but it doesn't hurt to try. Bring that list with you, and if you are done with your shopping, maybe even give it to someone who seems interested in buying some cheap ass games.

Is it a bad idea to print a list of games and bring it with me? Like, will the employees get mad at me if they see me looking at it?
I don't think so. When I went to mine I had a list with me and I looked through every singe Xbox game they had making sure I didn't miss anything. The guy was shocked (didn't show him the list but told him about it) but not mad.

X2 Wolverine's Revenge for the PS2 is $9.99 at CC's website. I'm not sure if that's a permanent deal though so I wouldn't add it to the list until that's confirmed.

The new price list must be regional or just not completely accurate. I just bought NHL hitz 2003 GC for 9.99, same price for both xbox and gamecube. GC bloodrayne is still 9.99, I had it scanned. for the most part, the list is accurate except for the few $5 games. I was looking for some cheap games to tradein.
tiger woods 2003 GC is not $5, more like $15. Red Faction II PS2 is $10, not $5. They also must have changed the price on BOF:dragon quarter, it came up as $29.99, I had them entered both the actual upc and their own tag.
I could be wrong, but congrats for scoring on these deals.

Thanks for the list, but as the poster above just noted....some of the prices are inaccurate. A lot of people that contributed to that list got the $20 discount due to the CC cashier ringing them up wrong. That's makes some of those prices YMMV at best.
I was at CC today and Hitman 2 (GCN) rings up at $14.99 (not $9.99) and Super Ghouls and Ghosts (GBA) rings up at $9.99 (not $4.99). Those are 2 games which I can confirm.
DriftChamp
12-31-2003, 04:23 AM
To expand what I said before about the CC cashier ringing people up wrong....
Circuit City has a promotion right now where you get a $10 discount if you buy 2 games priced at $19.99 or higher, or a $20 discount if you buy 3 games priced at $20 or higher.
Some people have gotten the $10/$20 discount even though they bought games priced below $19.99 due to the CC cashier ringing them up wrong. The $10/$20 discount is applied evenly to the games you bought on your receipt. That's the reason why people posted wrong prices such as Hitman 2 for $9.99 (the $10/$20 discount was mistakely applied by the cashier). So YMMV on some of those prices on that list.

Oh boy, here we go again. Look, people, this behavior makes me want to puke. When you trade in these games to electronics boutique, they will open them up, check the disc, then sell it as used. Meaning that you just screwed a fellow CAGer from owning a brand new game at a cheap price. It's people like this that will in the end ruin this website because no one will want to post deals anymore. They will hoarde these deals for themselves.

The problem, MarkMan, is that the deals will be gone before you can take advantage of them because people will a) buy them as trade-ins or b) sell them on ebay to make a quick buck. No wonder why my CC hasn't had most of these deals. They were gone before I got a chance to go check them out. How would you like it if that happened to your CC store? Ebay scalpers picked up every copy of Shinobi, Phantasy Star Online, and every other cheap deal at your CC. I guess that's life, huh MarkMan?
Yeah, I got Shinobied. Where's my Shinobi? Every time a CAGer buys 10 copies of the same game another CAGer cries :(
GSJaia
12-31-2003, 01:47 PM
It really pisses the hell out of me as well. The most copies I ever bought of a cheap ass deal is when I buy a copy for myself and a copy for a friend or relative. To buy them to sell or trade in just screws the rest of us out of a chance to get a deal.
Hell, the BB I go to had a bunch of copies of several of the .01 guides one day. I came here, saw they were 1 cent, went back to BB the next day and all were gone.
...and I feel for you C_A. Where is my Wario World? :D Oh, I know, somebody is selling it on eBay for 40 bucks, that is where it went.
Damn people buying them out to sell them or trade them in.

I don't understand the moaning from the people who can't find certain games. This deal has been going on for more than 1.5 months now (2wks before black friday). These games were first avail on the web and then sold out. Most people who got in the deals had to do their own foot work and search them at BM stores. Why are people bellyaching about a deal that has been going on for at least 6 weeks and still going? If you are too lazy to drive to different stores to find them or too afraid to ask for price checks, then stop complaining. You snooze, you lose---if you want the games for cheap, you have to work for it. I got in on some cheap $5 games, but I had to drive to 3 different CC to find them, the same complainers would say that I am insane for putting in so much effort for some $5 games.
Complaining about people buying up cheap games before you do is like faulting people for picking up a $20 laying on the street.

12-31-2003, 03:15 PM
Apparantly you failed to read what everybody was saying. We are complaining about people who buy dozens of the same game to sell them for profit...

12-31-2003, 03:16 PM
people get disappointed due to people grabbing tons of copies..
I have looked since black friday, driven to several stores and asked for price checks..
I am moaning now because it seems fairly certain I won't find any of the games I want..especially when a store clerk asks me "whats up with shinobi? a guy guy came in and bought 6 of them!"

How many copies per game does each store carry? My guess is about 10-15 max. Do you think you and your 1 friend are the only cheapskates in town?
You can still get these games on ebay for cheap, much cheaper than most retail shoppers are paying for them. Most of you are just pissed because you missed out on the 'below' cost values.
I am sure the people who purchased these games on ebay 'for cheap' are quite happy with their savings.
BTW, these games are cheap because they are not very good or old. But they still have the 39.99-49.99 price tags, you just have to ask the clerks to price scan it for you.
Again, what are you bellyaching about? You had 6+ weeks for these deals. I can understand your complaint if these games were bought after the first day, but you have no ground to complaint 3 days after the initial sale. And nobody here expected that this sale is a permanent markdown. So, better luck next time, or better prepared next time.

12-31-2003, 03:57 PM
I bought Shinobi for $10 last week and went back on Monday to price match to their $4.99 price. I simply brought the game and my receipt with me and told them "Hey, I want to price match this to your new in store price. I believe it's $4.99 now." So they scanned the barcode from the game and the new price appeared on screen, so they checked my receipt and gave me my $5. P
Yeahman
12-31-2003, 07:30 PM
I don't think we really have to worry too much about people hoarding copies. This thread came about because Circuit City does not mark their prices and most people do not know to check the prices in the store.
Examples:
Circuit City one has had a stack of Waveraces for weeks. It is slowly dwindling so people are buying it but most don't know so its still there.
Circuit City one and two both have a handful of Zone of the Enders.
Circuit City one and two has a stack of Gungrave marked at 49.99 not moving.
Both had Rez.
Finally Circuit City one had one copy of Shinobi. It sat there for a month at 19.99 before I realized it was 9.96.
My point is that most people do not know about these prices, and some games like Shinobi are simply in low quantities, so if you've haven't found a game it's because you just haven't been lucky or quite frankly you need to search harder.
I've been to only 2 Circuit Cities and have found whatever I wanted, and theres still more in driving distance

They should be on the shelves with the other Xbox games. I was able to get 7 JSRF/Sega GT games for 7 cents the other day. They were priced at $99.99 but rang up at a penny. Flame me all you want, but I'm not passing up a 1-cent game, and I doubt most of you would too.
I tried to the the Star Wars/Tetris game today, but it was ringing up at $99.99, so YMMV on that.

Do they try and tell you that it's a promotional item, and since it's priced so high, it isn't meant to be sold? That's the story I got at my CC, but I asked if they could sell it to me so I could just get the case, and they said fine.

I hear ya. But me, being the CAG that I am. Will always be the first in line for deals like this. So I won't be any tears on my side. That's life. You gotta get up early and take advantage of these things.
I went to all 5 Circuit City locations in San Diego the past week. I'm glad I found all I was looking for. :) For any San Diego people, you should check out the CCs still because there are plenty of Shinobi and Gungraves around.

01-01-2004, 05:01 PM
what people do is buy like 10 $5 games and were going and trading them in at EB for $10 a piece while others havn't gotten in on the deals. so there spending like $25 and trading them in and getting $50. thats the problem.

01-01-2004, 11:01 PM
I ended up getting 7 games for about $70, then turning 2 of those games in (total cost $8) for $34 in tradein value to get 2 -other- games. Granted, none of these were dupes or anything. I'm quite happy though with my 7 new GC/PS2 games. Just wish I could have gotten PSO, or could have afforded Arc The Lad as well.
Stuff:
Xenosaga - $19.96
Activision Anthology - $9.99
Skies of Arcadia Legends - $24.99
Wild Arms 2 - $9.96
Shinobi - $4.99
Evergrace - $9.99
Summoner (GC) - $9.99
For some reason SOA:L, Summoner and the Activision Anthology all went for the buy 3 and get $20 off deal, so SOA:L was like $18, Evergrace was $3 and Summoner was $3. I took Summoner and Shinobi to a gamestore that I saw had a used Animal Crossing in, got $34 tradein for the $8 of money I spent, got Animal Crossing and VF4:Evo instead.

If anyone hits Circuit City or elsewhere and sees the following games (NEW/SEALED), i'll make it worth their while:
PS2 REZ --- ccprice: $25+/- ; I'll buy for=$40*
PS2 Gitaroo Man --- ccprice: $10+/- ; I'll buy for=$21*
PS2 Robot Alchemic Drive (RAD) ccprice: $18+/- ; I'll buy for=$24*
(my buy prices already include $2 shipping for each, please subtract $1 for each add'l game I get from you - yes I'm a cheap-ass.)
I have a very hard time finding these games locally but many of you seem to see "plenty" in your area so I think I'll use the power of CAG to make this a win/win situation for everyone.
The circuit city "buy 3 games above $20 & save $20" ends 01/03/04
I'll pay via paypal and link to my stellar ebay (buys) feedback.
Need at least 4 of each Rez/Git and 2 more RADs for my group of friends.
Please email-me:
mrrhee "at" mail "dot" com
thanks all. if anyone deems this post inappropriate please understand that I'm desperate to find these, the sale ends soon, and many CAGers see lots of these games lining their local store shelves. plus for every one of these games I find thru CAG I'll donate $1 to the CAG fund. in fact, I just donated $5.42 to CAG.

I'm too lazy to post an updated list, but I think that one is in order here! LOL!
Anyway people, just remember, this ISN'T a SALE, this IS the prices that CC has these games clearanced for (if you can find them)!
It irritates me to no end when people ask-
"When does this sale end?"
It doesn't people!!!
These are the prices that CC has clearanced these games for!
When the games are gone from every CC EVERYWHERE, THAT is WHEN this ends!
Until then, keep checking your CC's! There is very little alphabetical order to be found within the stores, soooooo...
Search behind other games, go to other areas of the store, ask employees for help, do what you have to do, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!...
For the love of GOD! Don't think that this is a temporary SALE! These are their permanent prices!!!
DAMN! I need to calm down...
lol.

Hey, first off thanks to the previous posters to make this such an easy deal! Only one of the games I got was marked correctly, making it a pretty cool "secret" deal known only to us cheapasses. Here's what I got:
PS2 Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter - 9.96
GC Wave Race - 9.96
PS2 Haven - 4.96
PS2 Pryzm - 7.99
PS2 Mister Mosquito - 4.99
= 5 games for ~$40!
Be sure to add Mister Mosquito to your list. I'm not sure if it was $10 with 50% off, or 4.99 to begin with. I didn't see it on the list, but I had a feeling this one would be discounted. I saw RAD but it looked to high for $25 :wink:
I think I might make another stop to see what else I may have missed.

So Mister Mosquito IS 50% off - I was going to check it out but decided not to. Yes, originally it is $10, so if it's $5 now, then it's one of CC's 50% off games.

I went to CC around 1pm in Vegas. I found Wreckless (Xbox) & JSRF for $4.96 each. I also purchased Beyond Good & Evil for PS2 (there were plenty). I also saw one copy of Rez, but I didn't have enough money to get it.
It was kind of amusing because the employee went to talk to the manager to check if these games were really $5 when marked as $20.
I might go back there for the last copy of Rez. It was hiding behind a bunch of crappy games.

2500 N. Elston Avenue
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 772-0037
The Xbox section was virtually bone-dry of good deals, but there were still a few left. So, I bought...

Serious Sam (Xbox) $10 (1 or 2 copies left)
They also have...
Burnout (Xbox) $10 (1 or 2 copies left)
Jet Set Radio Future (Xbox) $5 (3 copies left)
NBA 2K3 (Xbox) $10 (1 copy left)
Enclave (Xbox) I think it's $10? (1 copy left)
I did a price check on...
Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (Xbox) $20 (Has a Value Sticker or red $19.99 price tag sticker)
TimeSplitters 2 (Xbox) $20 (Has Value Sticker)
Hopefully tomorrow I will get a chance to go to another CC, my search still continues for...
Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO (Xbox) $10
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller (Xbox) $10
Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (Xbox) $5 or $10 (The version that doesn't have Value Stickers)

Both circuit cities by me in Michigan do not have most of the price deals mentioned in this thread. I sound like a complainer I know, but it would be helpful to more than just me to know where the good deals are

I definitely agree with you -- it's far easier to go through area reports when people actually tell you what area they're from. I think there should be a mandate to have everyone fill out the Location section of the user profile with city and state.

I'm not sure where Brighton is, but the Circuit City's I went to in Michigan over christmas break, the ones in NOVI (right next to twelve oaks mall) and the one in WESTLAND (on Warren), were doing the deals I believe. I got Tenchu for 14.98 at the one in Novi and Gungrave for 4.98 at the one in Westland. dont know if that helps you at all.

In case anyone is interested, the Circuit City in Dickson City, PA has two copies of Ico (labeled at $29.99) as of Sunday afternoon, 1/11. I've heard this game is really good but hard to find, so there you go.
BTW, this store also had the JSRF/SGT and Tetris/Clone Wars discs marked at $99.99. WTF is that about?

01-14-2004, 12:23 AM
Another decent "score" @ Circuit City!
Just for the hell of it, I stopped by CC tonight to see if they had any copies of Mega Man & Bass for GBA, knowing that Best Buy had them recently advertised on their website for $9.99. And even though the BB website showed that they were on backorder, I thought I'd see if they would match the price anyway.
Anyway, I looked around for a bit. Finally I found what I believe was the last copy they had. The box beneath the plastic security casing looked like it had been stepped on by a GBA hating fat woman, but I figured that the game etc..., would still be in good condition despite that.
I found the nearest employee and asked him if they pricematched Best Buy's website. He said that he believed they would. So I told him that BB had this game priced @ $9.99 (not mentioning the fact that, the last time I checked BB's website, it showed that this game was on backorder).
I handed him the game, and he told me that he would be right back. A couple of minutes later he walked back up to me, and handed me the game with a small receipt like piece of paper on top, and told me to take it to the register, and they would take care of the pricematch there.
When I got to the register, the girl scanned the piece of paper and the game came up to only $7.98! For a second or two I was in a small state of shock, until I remembered that when they pricematch there, that they give 110% of the difference.
This puts a new twist on this topic, as you should now be hunting out cheap games on BB's website to get an even cheaper price @ CC!
Yes, I know that most of you already knew that CC matched BB's website, and that they give another 110% of the difference, as did I. But I had never really thought of the possibilities until now.
Does anyone know if they will pricematch any other/if not all other websites? Or do they have to be competing stores with websites? If so, which ones? I am on another mission now!
BTW, although the box was smashed somewhat, the game and and manual were completely undamaged.
Another btw, this was, once again, @ the Springfield, MO. CC, even though I really think that I probably got the last copy of this game.

I walked up to the cashier and asked them for a price check on ICO for PS2, and it rang up as $23.99 rather than the 29.99 that was marked. Problem is, the list topic shows it for $15.00 . Am I missing something? :?:

I went back for a few of the $5 titles I had missed and several were in the $6.xx range. Wolverine's Revenge was $13.xx. Of the titles I had grabbed, only Haven was still at the same price as the a few days ago. I was hoping it was the CC I went to (a different one than usual, I was on the road), but perhaps prices are back on the rise.

I believe that the $15 price was a product of the 50% off sale that happened recently there. If so, $15 would be right, as half of $30 (the original marked price) is $15. It had probably been marked down to $23.99 shortly after the sale, or during the 50% off sale, they just looked @ the sticker price, and took 50% off of that. I dunno really.
Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, as this is just an assumption on my part.

my CC helped out all the customers by actually updating their game stickers, about everyone of them. also they throw the clearance cheaped <$20 games in the budget bin.
So that means that every clearance game posted here had their sticker tags updated in my CC, JSRF $4.99, TP 2002 $4.99, UFC 2 $6.xx, etc. My local CC is friendly. :)

as extra bonus to the already packaged system with the double games holiday pack (Tetris/SW) too right?
that was too packaged like that in my CC if that is what you mean. maybe a national thing, some Xboxes in my CC that time didn't have the game strung to it if that is what you mean. The security device strings were closed down to the combo. Or maybe that was only to normal Xbox packages. Not sure...

At my CC the manager was a total asshole about the 1 cent combo . . . wouldn't sell it to me. The promo had ended, they did not advertise it as coming with an Xbox, there were no signs in the store.
They had 5 and they just vanished . . . that's alright . . . I will not buy anything at the store unless it is clearance and I will run it down with whoever will listen . . .
Don't know how much impact that will have but it is sure to cost some business . . .
