I also noticed Lara Croft's Tomb raider for the PSP and some movie based Wii games and Avatar, but I'm not sure if those were already $16.96.

Wow, is that Dance Dance Revolution Universe with or w/o the pad?

06-24-2007, 10:39 AM
Looks like it's w/o the pad. The one on the pad is still 79.99 on the website.

Hmm, I bet I could pick up an off-brand pad for pretty cheap....
spree4567
06-24-2007, 10:42 AM
Any idea on how much a 360 pad goes for?
Edit: I found the official Konami one on their site for $40. So makes it about $60 total, which is $20 off the normal price, or $10 off the current Amazon price.

Does CC.com *EVER* have anything in-stock?
Like is so often the case, even though DDRU *LOOKS* like it's in-stock on the page, but when you click on it, you get the "not available online" status on the product page.

DDR Universive is tempting. DOAX 2 needs to be about 7 bucks cheaper before i'll even consider buying.

To be very clear, this is NOT the DDR Universe with the pad, however you can get third party pads for WAY cheaper than the $60 difference.

I just came back from CirCity where I picked up:
Just Cause
DOA Xtreme2
DDR Universe
Virtua Tennis3
These all scanned $16.96 each, just like the web site....oh and on another note- The Nashua,NH branch is out of Wii's...there was a line waiting to get in and they only had 8 avail.

Since when did I say I was talking about those games? If you click the link to the games, the first two games are "Pre-Owned" and "come with original case but may not have the instruction booklet". The first game is Final Fantasy XI as well, which shouldn't be sold used anywhere.
But thanks for answering my question. That helped a lot and was the anwser that I needed. Fucker. Shaq-Fu er. (wonder if the shaq-fu logo pops up when you actually type it out.)

In this case, I might get two to three copies of VT3 and Just Cause. O_o

just picked up VT3 and DDR for 16.96 each at the N.Attleboro MA Circuit
Now to find a dance pad....
any ideas cause I heard all of these dance pads are made so cheaply.

06-24-2007, 12:40 PM
Wonder what else is now $16.96?
The first thing I went to check on the site is Valkyrie Profile 2 but it's gone =O
And :rofl: at Chocobo Tales already dropping almost 50% off.
mackaikai
06-24-2007, 12:48 PM
thanks OP! will go pick up VT3, DDR and maybe DOAX2
Roufuss
06-24-2007, 12:49 PM
Rayman Raving Rabbids for PS2 is also $16.96, according to the website, along with NFL Head Coach for PS2.
If someone is going to CC they should definitely check on Valkyrie Profile 2 since it's no longer on the site but may finally be $16.96.

Great titles to flip at GC, like someone mentioned. However, my GC labeled DOAX2 and VT3 sports titles, so I didn't get the 50% bonus. :( I did get the 10% MVP bonus though, and in the end I still did make a decent profit flipping.
EDIT: Thanks a lot OP. :)

To those that offered thanks...really no need...just glad to be able to contribute to the CAG community;)
On another note, I went to 4 different Houston Area CCs today and could not find a single copy of VT3. If any CAG would be kind enough to grab me a copy for price + shipping + a couple of extra bucks for the trouble ( or I have a sealed copy of Just Cause or CML), I'd be forever grateful!
Edit: to Houston area CAGs - The pearland, Meyerland, Sugarland, and Sharpstown CCs all have multiple copies of DDRU amd DOAX2. The Meyerland and Sugarland stores had plenty of Just Causes and the other previously mentioned clearance titles. Also, saw MotoGP 2006 and Full Auto at Meyerland and Sugarland. On a side note, the Sugarland Super Target has some copies of Full Auto left for $14.99.

Thanks OP! Got Virtua Tennis 3 (last copy) and Chocobo Tales (1 more remaining).
VT3 was behind Table Tennis, and the 2 Chocobo Tales were randomly placed in the DS section. Both were labeled as regular price until scanned.

Thanks OP, I picked up 2 DDRU's for 360 (me and my sister) and a copy of DOAX2. They had at least 5 of each at the Berlin/Newington CC in CT.
Original price on box, scanned at 16.96.
Score! Now to find a damn pad.

Went to two CC's and both didn't have DOAX2 or VT3. Asked a person to see if there were any other stores close by that had it in stock....0
Really wanted those 2 games at that price, but I guess you can't win them all. Anyone living in Illinois around the 60517 area, goodluck finding them.

Try price-matching the Buy 2 get 1 from TRU. Buy 2 copies of Avatar and 1 copy of Meet the Robinsons. Then just buy 1 copy of Meet the Robinsons. For $50.88, trade each set in at EBStop for 2 Wii games. Or, for a better deal, instead of buying just 1 additional MtR, buy 2 Mtr and another Avatar to have 3 of each. For $67.84 (before tax), trade in the 3 sets to EBStops for 3 Wii games.
Those 2 games aren't listed as exclusions in the post for the EBStop deal. This would be conceivable, yes?
EDIT: Scratch that. DS games only. That's my bad. Would have been cool though. Still though, not a horrible way to get some Wii games for less than retail. Bout $34 before tax with this deal.

Picked up a copy of VT3 and DOAX2 for $35.96 total at my Circuit City in Indy. Met a couple of fellow CAG'ers there. I think I grabbed the last copy of VT3, even though their stock report said three. (Hope you were able to get one!)
Promptly went to game rush and traded DOAX2 in for $34.00 in credit. (Chose Game Rush cause its close to my house...and I can use the credit for anything in Blockbuster)
Anyone know when GameRush/Blockbuster will be doing another B2G1 on Pre-Owned Games?

Not reliable at all, CC doesn't do in-store pickup for video games so it doesn't know. I've never once had it tell me the right thing.
No in-store tracker is 100% perfect, not even close, so it's always worth it to look.
Thanks, OP! Just got back from our only CC in the state with my copies of Virtua Tennis 3 (been waiting for that one!) and DDRU. There were no DOAX2 copies in stock, and didn't bother to look for the other systems since I wasn't really interested.
I'll have to wait for sale on 360 dance pads now, though...

Depending on where you live it ranges from "mildly reliable" to "don't ever listen to what it says". Around here on Long Island it's best to hit your local ones and look through all of the games as well as the movie/CD section. People tend to pick up handfuls of stuff and leave them wherever they please and, as such, you may find a DDRU next to When Harry Met Sally and a Virtua Tennis 3 all the way over by some laptop RAM.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I called the store 8 fucking times before someone picked up the phone. Then I was transferred to 4 different people. The last idiot finally told me they were out of Chocobo Tales. She even went as far as saying they didn't get their shipment in today, so hopefully it would be coming soon. I just had a feeling that I couldn’t trust her so I took a 10min trip. And wouldn’t you know it… When I got to the store, there were about 6 or 7 Chocobo Tales front and center staring me in the face. If I only got the name of that :censored: I would have reported her to the manager. I’m sure they would love to hear how the employees are sitting on their fucking assess and making S#IT up on the phone, literally driving their customers away. This is also not the first time this happened to me. So, the lesson here is DON’T TRUST CC CUSTOMER SERVICE OR WEBSITE, you might just be getting screwed out of a good deal.

We hit Greenwood as well, closer to 7pm though. They had one last Just Cause (mine), one last VT3 (trabbahabba's), and a couple DOA X2 (we both grabbed one each) and a few DDRU. There were two DDRU left, and I think a Bionicle and a couple Eragons left when we left. (Not as sure about Bionicle and Eragon though.)
pelf21
06-25-2007, 02:12 AM
was able to pick up VT3 today....they had a few copies of that and Just Cause at the Roseville, CA CC
they were on the shelf, not in the clearence bins....
Sweet Deal! now just need to get my broken 360 back from being fixed so I can play it....

That was me. :) It was actually the last VT3 they had, but no worries. I got the last Just Cause so I think we're even. ;)
I think that sounds pretty fair. hehe.
BTW, if you decide that DOAX2 is not your thing, I used the Blockbuster on the corner of 31 and Worthsville for my trade in. They don't have a whole lot in stock right now as far as 360 games, but I didn't really pay attention to much else.
BTW, Welcome to Indy!
Meet the Robinsons is $16.96 as well?
Edit: Damn... hopefully my local CC has that, so I can get in on that trade deal this week.
I went to 3 CC's today and all were swimming with Avatar and Meet The Robinsons. I took one set to EB to trade for a Mario & Sonic At the Olympics preorder which I will switch to Mario Galaxy or SSBB later (at the suggestion of the EB employee, no less!).
Virtua Tennis 3 was the real goal though - I finally found one at the last of the 3 after the guy at the first store used the web to check inventory and said if there were none showing on the site they wouldn't be at any stores in the area. So, yeah, don't bother asking them about it ;).
Best of all I was able to get all 3 CC's to accept the just expired GamePro coupon from Best Buy. I got Chocobo Tales for $11.96, a Bust-A-Move for PSP for $4.99, and 2 Meet the Robinsons for $11.98 each (just paid $16.96 for Avatar). Really, taking 2 X $16.96, or about $34 of stuff into EB for a $50 game isn't such a great deal to me, but the GamePro coupon made it palatable.
If only I had more coupons with me - I didn't have a 360 coupon for VT3 (which I'm keeping). Would have liked that for $12 though ;).

I got Chocobo Tales, MTR and Magical Starsign....the TRU PM made the deal even sweeter!

Just letting you guys know: I checked online to see if my CC had any copies of DDRU left, and it said they were sold out. I ended up checking in-store anyway, and they had like... 5. So the online inventory isn't always right!
cag1125
06-25-2007, 03:58 AM
Hmmm...I just might have to try my luck tomorrow...
Thanks LOC_Fchaos!
I went to 3 CC's today and all were swimming with Avatar and Meet The Robinsons. I took one set to EB to trade for a Mario & Sonic At the Olympics preorder which I will switch to Mario Galaxy or SSBB later (at the suggestion of the EB employee, no less!).
Best of all I was able to get all 3 CC's to accept the just expired GamePro coupon from Best Buy. I got Chocobo Tales for $11.96, a Bust-A-Move for PSP for $4.99, and 2 Meet the Robinsons for $11.98 each (just paid $16.96 for Avatar). Really, taking 2 X $16.96, or about $34 of stuff into EB for a $50 game isn't such a great deal to me, but the GamePro coupon made it palatable.
Good idea! I still have my Tony Hawk Downhill Jam [Wii] when it went on sale at Costco awhile back [still unopened] and I can just buy Avatar or Meet the Robinsons, then trade it in for a preorder Mario Galaxy or SSBB!
Question though: when CC accepted the Gampro coupons, did they take it from you? or did you just show it to them as proof?

Oh well, If they have a 360 copy tomorrow, I will still pick it up.

Virtua Tennis 3 was the real goal though - I finally found one at the last of the 3 after the guy at the first store used the web to check inventory and said if there were none showing on the site they wouldn't be at any stores in the area. So, yeah, don't bother asking them about it ;).

If only I had more coupons with me - I didn't have a 360 coupon for VT3 (which I'm keeping). Would have liked that for $12 though ;).Sickens me that you were able to do that. I've tried using Best Buy coupons at CC twice. The first time, they would have used it if the item was the same price as at Best Buy. Since it was a clearance item, no go. The second time, it was a straight-up no.

Is anybody actually finding ANY of these games correctly marked? All of the new clearance games I found yesterday were still marked at original prices. The only one marked $16.96 was Just Cause but that dropped last week or even earlier.
I wonder how long those Wii games will last once they get marked properly? They are all pretty crappy (except Ice Age 2 perhaps) but there's so many Wii owners out there with kids that will probably snap them up not knowing any better ;).

Yeah, same thing here. The ones I got were on the shelf with all the regular priced games, so I had to take them to the register to get scanned first. Clerk couldn't believe they were that cheap either.

To save a trip for someone, the Columbus, OH, Morse Road Circuit City is cleared out of the 360 games listed here outside of Eragon and Bionicle.
In case anyone is considering keeping some of these games, here are some Metacritic averages:
:wii:
Avatar - 56
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/avatarthelastairbender
Happy Feet - 46 (worthless to play, worthless to flip)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/happyfeet
Ice Age 2 - 66 (I have this and it is decent - bad for $50, but OK for $17)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/iceage2themeltdown
Meet The Robinsons - 62 (might be OK, but $17 still seems like too much ;))
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/meettherobinsons
:ds:
Final Fantasy Chocobo Tales - 75 (I had to get it at this price!)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/finalfantasyfableschocobotales
Magical Starsign - 69 (been cheaper at Amazon, but I recommend it)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/magicalvacation
:360:
Bionicle Heroes - 60 (can get this from Walmart.com for $10)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/bionicleheroes
DDR Universe - 75
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/dancedancerevolutionuniverse
Dead or Alive Extreme 2 - 54
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/deadoralivextreme2
Eragon - 48 (ouch)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/eragon
Just Cause - 74
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/justcause
Virtua Tennis 3 - 80 (clearly the highlight of this clearance round, IMO)
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/virtuatennis3
By the way, I have a DOAX2 if anyone wants it - send me a PM. Not my kind of game to be sure ;).

Is anybody actually finding ANY of these games correctly marked?
IME, no. They're always marked regular price for several months after the drop, then, if they remain, they eventually get a sticker. The CC I was just at, though, NEVER changed the stickers. I found ancient games for the PSP still amrked full price. Kameo was still $50.
Anyways, picked up DDRU and VT3 for myself, and am going to flip a second VT3 and Just Cause. Thanks a lot, OP! :D

At the CC's I went to, all the stuff from the last round was marked and in a clearance bin - like Just Cause, Scurge Hive, Madden 06 for 360, etc... I imagine they will have these new ones marked and out by next week.
I was just surprised that someone else was surprised they were still marked $49.99 or whatever :lol:. That is pretty standard for the first few days of these deals and why CAG is so valuable!

Considering how fast Virtua Tennis dropped to a MSRP of $19.99 on the PSP, you could see the writing on the wall for VT3.

I assume it's a clearance price, which they don't advertise, since they won't be carrying the game anymore and have limited stock.

Managed to get Bionicle, DOAX2 and DDRU from CC... no Virtua Tennis. I was waiting around to find someone to ask about VT3 or DOAX2 (it wasn't out) and of course I got approached by a fairly cute girl asking if I needed help. I felt like such a perv asking about DOAX2... they had 4 in the back, but nothing on VT3 (she said she knew they had had it recently, so maybe I just got beat). Thankfully she didn't seem to know anything the game... probably thought it was a jet ski sim from the cover.
Pricegrabber rebates on all of the ones I got right now, though, which makes for an awesome deal. :) I am tempted to try some more less-than-local CCs but am not too convinced there's any stock of VT3 left in LA by now...

Earlier today (or shall I say yesterday) I visited the CC in Fresno CA & was very lucky to grab the last copies of Virtua Tennis 3 & Just Cause.
I also picked up a Bust A Move Deluxe so that I can trade at GC & also did a price check on some game called Final Fantasy XI for the PS2 with the HD included. I picked this up from the same CC about a year & a half ago for $36, so needless to say, I was surprised to see this on the store floor. Price check came back at $16.96..... Sold!

Ah...I figured as much. I thought I was going crazy wondering if Tales of Legendia was still on clearance or not. I'll check it out today...bring it to the regsiter and see how much it actually rings up for.
But, generally, the CC I go to rarely, if ever, has the games listed on these forum on clearance. And, this clearance round I coundn't find anything. Maybe I'll take another look, and hopefully find a copy of VT3.

I grabbed the last 2 copies of Avatar and a copy of Meet The Robinsons on the Wii. The woman at the cash register thought I did something to the games or something to make it cheaper. Good times...:):booty:

Checked another CC for VT3 and figured I had a sign-- the 360 kiosk had VT3 up.
But no, it was just the Deal Gods taunting me. Finally found a salesperson who had never heard of the game before, had to dig through a list, and they didn't have any.
Ah well, it was worth a shot.

Anybody know if the past clearance prices are still in effect? I saw Grandia III at CC today but it was marked $39.99. But I know it was part of the $16.98 clearance a few months ago.

Any San Antonio CAGs looking for clearanced 360 titles would be advised to skip the Ingram and North Park stores unless you're interested in the non bundled DDR Universe or Bomberman. I was really hoping to snag Just Cause after playing the demo but I guess I'll hold out until I can snag it cheap at EB.

The Gamestop in the Spotsylvania Mall (Fredericksburg, VA) has the $100 Madcatz dance pad brand new for half off making it $50, and Circuit City across the street has about 4 copies of the DDR game in stock. My wife was with me shaking her head "NO" since I had already spent aver $100 on the other games (Avatar, VT3, and PS3 remote [$19.99 this week] at CC...Ice Age, Madden, Call of Duty 3 all $14.99 brand new for he Wii at GS).

Exactly, because the average customer will go by the stickered prices and not buy the game... that is what is so good about CC clearances... I dont know how many 2 dollar games I bought years ago there were still marked 49.99

I managed to find VT3 and DDRU for the 360. But, I'm not too thrilled at the idea of spending another $40 on a dance pad when my original xbox one works just fine.
Anyone know of an adapter of some kind that would allow me to connect my original dance pad to the 360? If there is no such animal, I don't think I'll be keeping the game.

Found seemingly the last copy of VT3 at the Concord Pike, DE CC tonight when picking up The Darkness. VT3 was in the Top Spin 2 slot, still marked as 49.99, and with definitely no indication of any clearance, so I had them price check it just to make sure.

Hey thanks alot for this deal I was able to pick up two copies of Virtua tennis sold the second one to a family member and they gave me an extra $20 for finding such a great deal. Although it was really weird that none of the games were marked for clearance, that made me pass up Just Cause since I wasn't sure

Have you guys tried asking the sales people to see if they had more in the stockroom?
I went to my CC yesterday and was looking for Bust A Move Deluxe for the PSP. Checked the PSP section and could not find it. I asked the girl at the game section if she could check their inventory to see if they had more left. She checked and said they had some more according to the computer. She came out of the stock area with 2 Bust a Move's which I purchased without hesitation.

I asked an employee if they happen to have any more 360 games in the back, and he replied that what they had out is what they had. Although he seemed preoccupied, I have to believe that its true because of the stock that is out. Basically, it sucks.
And either he was lying and its because the video game department is lazy and they have mountains of games in the back, or they really dont have any games, and the proof would be from the horrible stock on the shelves, if they had more, Im sure they would put more out to fill the basically empty 360 section.

CC almost always stores games in the back.
The guy who works the video game section at the CC near where I work is very nice and patient and always checks the store's inventory as well as the inventories of other nearby CCs for me. You need to ask them to go into the system that looks like DOS and have them check there. Most CC employees will only use the circuitcity.com website, which of course will not have the clearance games listed on it. It'll save them a lot of time if you bring the SKUs in on a piece of paper for them to check their inventory (google search).
Hope that helps people who are looking for the 16.96 clearance games.
Thanks to the OP. Picked up VT3 today in Somerville, MA.

It actually took me a while to find. There were two shelves of 360 games, a lower one with most of the games, and a top one with games that were on sale or special for some reason. VT3 was on the top shelf on the right side. Glad I didn't give up after looking through the lower shelf. May or may not have been the last copy, I didn't look any more after I found it.

I didn't see this posted in the OP or see anyone else reporting this game at $16.96, but my local CC had 3-4 copies of Final Fantasy III DS marked in the bin at $16.96. I already have it so didn't take it up to the front to see if it rang up at that price but just a heads up to you guys.
They also had Thrillville for the Ps2 marked at $16.96 which I DID pick up. It rang up at $19.99 but they price adjusted it for me.

Dear God. This is the last time I ever buy a game just because it is a good deal. DOAX2 has to be the biggest pile of crap that ever graced any of my consoles. I popped it in for about 15 minutes before I yanked it out of my 360 in disgust. Thank God used copies sell for at least $22 shipped on eBay because I would have been depressed if I lost money on this. Avoid this game!

Thanks OPS, I just got DDR Universe at CC. However I need a good, cheap (but sturdy) dance-pad for the 360. can anyone recommend one? :roll:
The local desperate Ebayers missed one. Stopped by CC on the way to lunch to pick up a $5 Minority Report DVD and a quick shuffle through the 360 section found there was one 360 VT3 behind some soccer title.
Looking forward to playing it.
