[eshbums]

Thanks! Might have to pick up Norrath finally.

[Rubberlegs]

Damn I just got PS2 Sun. and I was gonna buy Champions of Norrath for 27.99 used from GS. Good thing I held off. Thanx trustcompany. It's a great thing you do.

[modium]

Just in case anybody is planning on buying the La Femme Nikita S2 DVD next week, it's been canned by Warner with no explanation and no new date set.

Thanks again, trustcompany. Maybe it's about time I get Norrath.

[abreed]

What?

"$4.99 Video Game Clearance: Get Them Before They're Gone"

Could they actually be restocking?
Interesting...

[Jaket]

hmmm 30 for FSW price matched at BB with the GGC will knock it down to 25..... cant beat that, half price for a game you were gonna buy for 50 any way!

[JohnnyDrama]

FSW at Target seems like an awesome deal, I might be able to get in on that.

[The_Continental]

Dang, just paid full for FSW not too long ago, at least Norrath's finally at the right price.

[mario23air]

Full Spectrum Warrior will be mine.

[MrBrando]

damnit, no deals on season 1 and 2 of aqua teen hunger force if bought together.

[ElwoodCuse]

$25 for ATHF? What else is on it, 13 episodes of the show X 15 minutes or so each isn't that much.

If Best Buy has FSW for $30, I'd buy it for sure but getting a price match and a coupon isn't really viable.

Getting the Xbox DVD thing for $15 isn't bad, that thing is hardly ever on sale. Is the Xbox a better DVD player than the PS2?


in before the ZOMG full spectrum warrior RAIN CHECK people

[BABETOOTH]

You are killing me trustcompany, not your fault but I might go broke with all these deals!!!!

[dtcarson]

What?

"$4.99 Video Game Clearance: Get Them Before They're Gone"

Could they actually be restocking?
Interesting...

doubt it, although I'd love to be wrong. They're probably still trying to get rid of those last 17 copies of Pryzm.
*or*, perhaps, maybe there's a 'wave 2' of stuff that is to be clearanced.
Or, more likely, the ad copy was planned weeks ago, before the storm hit, and it was too late to replace that section.

Thanks for the heads up, TC.

[CheapyD]

Thanks, trustcompany1013!

[Danimal]

I'm liking that price for Norrath, too- especially when you take off $5 more with the GGC. Is that just a sale price, or has it become a Greatest Hit?

[CD]

Mighty fine deal on FSW, may finally have to cave and get it :)

[BigBen]

A number of good 40% off raincheck deals at Target next week (FSW, Transformers, etc.)

Thanks OP!

[damack]

Strange, I wonder why no one is listing ESPN NFL 2k5?

[fireball343]

i've got a 33% off target,(FSW) then i'll be sure to go back and pick up some more rainchecks.

[organicow]

i've been waiting for a Transformers price drop - this is great!!

[maxflight]

hmmm nothing much for me this coming week, thanks for posting!

[Javery]

Wow. Meet the Parents and Zoolander for $10 each? I am so there. If I didn't already have Old School I'd buy it again at that price... 8)

[flybrione]

time to get some target rainchecks :D 33% off time!

[rebthor]

[u]CIRCUIT CITY
"$4.99 Video Game Clearance: Get Them Before They're Gone"

HA! :roll:

Thanks for the deals TrustCompany. Definitely thinking about picking up Champions of Norrath for that price.

[pete5883]

Is THUG a universal price drop or is it just a coincidence that it's going on sale for 2 systems at once?

Edit: I was imagining things earlier

[roguejedi5]

Finally Norrath for a good price! Even though I would of bought it at $29.99. Now I only hope the something about mary is the "more edition" with the extra 15 mins. of the movie.

[ayolykewhoa]

Champs of Norrath and POP for me next week.

[Togepy]

I will buy Norrath for $15, PoP for $15 and ESPN NFL 2K5 for $15 all after GGC this week at Best Buy. Thanks.

[Irnmk21]

Still looking for that great Spiderman 2 deal, guess I'll be spending full price on that one.

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for posting! I see a handful of games to get, but.....must....hold.....off!

[HOTSHIET]

Thanks thrust, excellent post, zoolander is a great buy for 10 bucks.

[zewone]

Thanks trustcompany. I will be picking up Champions of Norath for $15 and Aqua Teen & Sealab. Some good deals this week.

[BigHow]

That price on Transformers might be just enough to get me to buy it.

[Santurio]

Sweeeeet!!!
Those deals sound great, I just wish I had the dough!!

[The Mana Knight]

I've already seen that the price dropped on Onimusha 3. I was hoping for ToS to go on sale, since I badly want that game right now.

[rumblebear]

ah darn it I don't have target near me. can anyone buy full spectrum warrior w/ggc for me?

[modium]

Is anybody going to be playing Norrath online when they get it for $20? I'd love to have some CAG questing going on. :D

[bignick]

So does this mean I can get teh DVD kit for xbox fro $15 after the GGC??? Damn, now thats a deal and a half!

[Steggy]

tell me that price for le femme nikita s2 is a typo... 84 dollars??? for 22 episodes? insane.

[talez]

how can you get a raincheck from target and get 44% off on a item? Also, why is a game at $49.99 a deal? Isn't that just the regular price?

[0ptical]

Transformers, FSW, and Norrath... Decisions...Decisions!

[yeldarb367]

"$4.99 Video Game Clearance: Get Them Before They're Gone"
Interesting. Poor CC. They are stuck with all this false advertising. By now I think even the old sports games are probably gone. There is a chance they will add more titles or restock but I doubt it. Thanks again for the ads.

[Ericnmel99]

Im surprised too that theres no advertisements for ESPN NFL ...although these adds were probably printed before they announced the date change to 7/20.


Oh yeah, and does anyone know how transformers actually is? i want to pick it up.

[swick]

FSW at that price is awesome. I kinda wish I hadn't already bought it.

[Santurio]

Is this Transformers Armada for PS2 we are talking about here?
Or something else I've never heard of?!

[MasterLin1]

Getting the Xbox DVD thing for $15 isn't bad, that thing is hardly ever on sale. Is the Xbox a better DVD player than the PS2?

In a word: no

I prefer using a real dvd player than both my ps2 and xbox, but I think Ps2 is alot better than xbox's DVD player IMO. Alot of my friends also have problems with the xbox dvd too, and complain that it "sucks".

[Alien Spider]

I'm only aware of one Transformer game for the PS2. I might get it, but I definitely want Meet the Parents and Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Many thanks trust!

[MCalvert1]

In a word: no

I prefer using a real dvd player than both my ps2 and xbox, but I think Ps2 is alot better than xbox's DVD player IMO. Alot of my friends also have problems with the xbox dvd too, and complain that it "sucks".

Is either machine as good as a really nice stand alone DVD player? No. Is the Xbox playback better than a launch PS2? Yes. Is the Xbox better than the new PS2 playback (progressive scan, etc)? I doubt it.

MjC

[Benaorn]

They didn't even have Sudeki in there and it out 7-20.

[craven_fiend]

looks like i'll be getting FSW and transformers for roughly the same price on of them is new after the price match at best buy

[VA]

7.99 for madden 04 isn't a bad deal

[robdees]

I just bought POP at BB a few hours ago and it's ringing up at 19.99 already. Go get 'em now guys!!

[yeldarb367]

I have a somewhat unrelated question. If I buy something of BB.com using my Paypal account. Then I select in store pickup. How do I show them my 'credit card' when I pick it up? Do they know it was a Paypal payment? Please PM if you know.

[GuilewasNK]

Norrath and Flight Simulator are interesting me. Thanks!

[LoganDX]

Thanks Trust. Gonna go pick up either PoP or THUG...

[DOMINATOR912]

Finally.....a cheap ass Kingdom Hearts. I might pick up that GTA: VC while I'm at it, too (don't mock me, I just got my PS2 last week).

[hiccupleftovers]

Woo Hoo!!!! THUG, PoP, and Norrath for $15 with GGC. Oh man, I hope i'll have enough money. Some of the better ads I've seen in recent weeks. CAG should have some ideas on how to make money and how to make it fast. Thanks OP.

[Romeo]

What?

"$4.99 Video Game Clearance: Get Them Before They're Gone"

Could they actually be restocking?
Interesting...

Highly doubtful. Games on clearance mean that's it, no more, zilch.

[yeldarb367]

I have a somewhat unrelated question. If I buy something off BB.com using my Paypal account. Then I select in store pickup. How do I show them my 'credit card' when I pick it up? Do they know it was a Paypal payment? Please PM if you know.
Anybody?

[Murcielago77]

Thx Trustcompany! Great how many raincheck opprotunities there are

[Neo]

1. Xbox is a better DVD player than the PS2, the PS2 was my first DVD player, the XBox was my second.

2. No good deals for me this week, ATHF is way too expensive, but I'll get it anyway, along with NFL2K5.

[pimp tyranny]

a better DVD player than my PS2 would be nice. i might get that remote.

[Vampire Hunter D]

Nothing to really get me excited enough to drive an hours ride to the mall. Question why do you post for example $19.99 each

Classic Super Mario Bros
Classic Zelda

When that isnt a deal? Its the price its always been.

[Magician]

I've already seen that the price dropped on Onimusha 3. I was hoping for ToS to go on sale, since I badly want that game right now.

You could trade in two of your games and use the $10 off coupon at EBGames to get it at 30 dollars....

Anyways, thanks Trust! I have a Target less than a block away from my house, so I might swing by and ask them about the rain check opportunity. I might also pick up PoP.... Awesome game, especially at that price.

[dtcarson]

Is TC posting only the 'deals', or everything in the ads [at least the game/dvd items]? While those games might be regular price at 19.99, they're in the ad 'for whatever reason] and that might be why TC posts it , for completeness.

[Tromack]

Is Red Dead Revolver any good? Worth 30? I like Westerns so I've been intrigued by it.

[Jonny Polychronopoulos]

Its short and simple fun. But we've seen it for $30 a couple times now in the 2 months its been out so i think we'll see it even cheaper. Surprising since its supposedly renting and selling very well. I'm waiting it out.

Im down for Full Spectrum Warrior and the DVD remote. I was wondering tho- can you system link FSW?

[TheRock88]

Transformers for $30 looks good. Thanks for the post.

[Remedy47]

DAMN IT!

I think now would be the perfect chance to pick up Onimusha 3 seeing as how I can probably pick it up for about 30 dollars if not then a definited 35 dollars.

FSW looks like a good find too, these are some nifty sales

[FunkMachineX]

Woo, thanks. Full spectrum warrior for $30, thanks

BUMP

No deals on aqua teen, fuck

[Kaijufan]

Nothing for me this week.

[Benaorn]

Damn...I wish BB would do the 110 PM. I guess I'll pick up FSW for 25 dollars and maybe DVD kit for 14.

[Demolition Man]

Dude... Millennium Season 1... $44.99... I am so there! :)

As far as NFL2k5... sorry, but I'm going to wait and see how Madden compares before deciding which one to buy. The price is tempting but if Madden gets better word of mouth then I would rather get that instead. Especially now that it supports XBox Live. :)

[The Successful Dropout]

Nothing to really get me excited enough to drive an hours ride to the mall. Question why do you post for example $19.99 each

Classic Super Mario Bros
Classic Zelda

When that isnt a deal? Its the price its always been.

thats what i do 'cause thats what i do



but for a better "less asshole (or more asshole)" explanation....
if i don't post that, then ppl will say, "are there any deals on the classic super mario brothers"....to which i might say, "crap, i know i saw it, but i forget what the price was"....then i'll have to go through the ad and post the price....it saves a little bit of trouble....

also, why ask me? why don't you ask bb or cc why they put them in the sales ads when they're the price that they've always been?

also, it might be a reminder to those who use the GGC........example....a game that is always $19.99 might be in the ad and posted as $19.99 at best buy....while at circuit city, they have it for sale at $16.99....which is cheaper? best buy....'cuz with it being no less then $19.99, you can get it for $14.99

also, it might help out some of the ppl who use the "price-match plus 10% off the difference" policy that CC and BB offer....example....if best buy has the game for $19.99 and CC has it for $14.99....you can figure out in your head how much you're going to being saving and how much you're going to be paying for the game before you actually go to the store....

sorry if i sounded like an asshole...i just don't understand the complaint

[brassguy04]

The DVD playback kit is advertised for $20.

I'm sorry, but i am a noob.

I'm not too clear on the GGC - how can this allow you to get the DVD playback kit advertised for $20 at $15?

So if I buy a GGC worth $15, I can use that to get the GGC.

Please this is a simple enough question, don't just say "idiot noob just read that whole topic on it in the request cheap ass gaming deals forum"

I have read it, but I am a little fuzzy.

Do I need a coupon in addition to the GGC to get the DVD kit for $15 with the GGC?

Thanks, I'd appreciate an answer. If you don't want to answer in this topic you can PM me.

When you get a Best Buy Gamer's Gift Card it comes with a coupon good for $5 off any video game software or accesories priced $19.99 and up.

I think Madden will always have the better word of mouth. Madden is a sweet game, but you would be surprised about how many people just buy it blindly and never acknowledge that there are possibly other good football games out there. I personally plan on buying both of them, NFL2k5 right away because it is cheaper and then the price of Madden will drop after a while.

You didn't sound like an asshole to me. The topic says that you posted the ads for this week, and not just the "best" deals and I am not sure why people complain when you have done something as a service to other people. I appreciate you typing everything out as I don't have to go through all of the ads myself, so thank you

[hiccupleftovers]

Just got back from BB and PM the deal on Ace Combat from Fry's. and picked up some other stuff Thanks trustcompany1013.

[brassguy04]

thanks CAG - got the dvd playback kit for 15.89 :D and now i know the power of the GGC

[Murcielago77]

shouldnt this be a sticky by now?

[soulyogurt]

modium -
I have Norrath. (only thing I have bought at full price so far (other than spider-man (see below))... my brother in laws both got it so I did too when it was released.... hurt like the dickens to pay full price for a game, but I suppose we should do it every once in a while... especially for the good ones) and can fire it up if some CAGers are getting on.

I got Spiderman at full price, but am going to return it.. I was still trying to get through my backlog of games from the January CC sale, and now I have another slew of games to burn through. There is no reason not to wait until the price drops on Spidey.

[nein89]

Apologies for the stupid question, but the wording struck me as just vague enough that I have to ask. I'm reading that as Tales of Symphonia + Legend of Zelda: Four Swords + a Gamecube console for $120? Am I hallucinating, or just the last person here who doesn't have a gamecube? 'Cause that looks like the best deal present to me.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

$25 for ATHF? What else is on it, 13 episodes of the show X 15 minutes or so each isn't that much.


Dunno if this was answered, but whatever. The episodes are 12 a piece, and there is 13 in this set. The supposed 'retail value' is $30 (I got it for $20 at Media Play). There is a lot of extras, including the SGC2C episode where ATHF originate, plus some more. Its definatly worth it, as any ATHF nut like myself would agree.

Oh, I also got Norrath for $20, now I just need the broadband adapter. And a router. And some ethernet cable. :?

Do you mean the Best Buy deal? I think that means $20 gift certificate, not a Gamecube for $20.

nein89: Apology accepted. ransom456 is correct, buy 2 of those games, get a $20 giftcard. Sorry for the letdown, the deal you thought it was would have been really sweet.

[nein89]

Curse my feeble grasp of common abbreviations. Ah well, thanks for the clarification.

[guessed]

Curse my feeble grasp of common abbreviations. Ah well, thanks for the clarification.

Don't sweat it, they are ripe for cunfusion -- GC can mean Gamecube or Gift Card, BB can be Blockbuster or Best Buy, CC could mean credit card or Circuit City (here it is usually the latter), and PM can be private message or price match. Asking is the best way to gain knowledge, so you did the right thing.

[smalien1]

According to PSM magazine NFL2k5 is actually better than madden even though they both got 9/10
