Does anyone post the markdowns every Friday for Circuit City for games? If not I will start posting them on this thread every Friday, because I am reponsible for this. The list includes pc, gamecube, ps2, xbox, and gameboy games. Sometimes there are notable cuts, but not to often. I will post the list for the 20th later today when I get out of work if no one has posted them.

These are unadvertised right? Like red dot markdowns? (I can never find the red dot by the way)

Its probably a mixture of ok and crap, with a few sprinklings of wow.

Its better then not knowing

I hope kill.switch gets marked down cuz I've been waiting for that game to go down for a while now. I'm sure there will be some good deals and thanks for the list scdoanintendo when u post it.

I don't know if anybody is interested in this, but I was able to pick up a copy of Max Payne #1 (for the PC) for 5 bucks at my local Circuit City. The game had an inflated sticker price on it, which prompted me to ask "Are you really asking 40 bucks for this thing!?!?!" But the guy scanned it and it was only 5. Guess they hadn't updated their prices in a while. :wink: YMMV, though.

Starsky and Hutch might be worth picking up. It's got an interesting lightgun interface.

BTW, we have an Outlaw Star fan on the forum...

02-22-2004, 10:08 AM
Are these markdowns permanent, for a week, or for a couple days?

scdoanintendo
02-22-2004, 11:35 AM
These are permanent markdowns. Circuit City will not restock these games once they are gone.

Are you sure MOH: AA DE is $20?...

the original is selling for $20, and that usually sells for $44.99...

I would check, but my local Circuit City doesn't stock PC games anymore after they reconstructed the store, and the closest one is like miles away.

Thanks for the heads up; may I suggest that you post the markdowns on your first post, and keep editing? 2 weeks at a time, then later post the next week's deals, and delete the oldest one, etc. Because I feel a successful 10+ page topic upon us, and I for one wouldn't want to dig through the pages.

Thanks a lot BTW.

That's a good idea but the only problem is what happened last time with the Circuit City Clearance List. Someone did an ol' copy & paste and posted it on Fatwallet. Within a day of that happening, all those deals the CAGs posted over those 4-6 weeks were dead. I support the idea of true CAGs looking through the entire thread for all the deals. Of course, this is unrealistic when the thread grows too large.

Call me unrealistic, but I'd like to see some more of those amazing deals we had around Christmas. Even if we're not getting $5 deals, I'd still like to see some of the great games (such as robotech) go on sale again.

Honestly, who is that desperate for videogames that they'll buy Starsky and Hutch? I wouldn't pick it up unless it were $5. The Tom Clancy game is the only game there worth getting, and I'm not even really into the series.

Meh, I say. Meh.

Thanks, but start a new thread every week so that we don't have one huge thread where it is impossible to find anything.

scdoanintendo...do you work for an Indy area CC?

Might have to check out some of these price drops. Wish there were scanners at CC since the ones usually have the old prices on them.

02-28-2004, 03:58 PM
Rainbow 6: Raven shield for $20 is a pretty good deal. I might have to pick it up next time I go to CC. Thx for the post scdo

Ghoulies and Voodoo Vince are good grabs IMO. Especially at that price.

-Never4ever-
02-28-2004, 10:37 PM
well matbe VV but GBTG would only be a good deall if priced at 10 or less IMO.

Any how, keep up the good work:)

I would suggest that you stay away from Grabbed by the Ghoulies......

Thanks for the deals, scdoanintendo. I might drop by CC to grab Voodoo Vince and Midtown Madness 3.

02-29-2004, 01:20 AM
Now are these at all CC locations? I know not all Targets follow the same clearance procedures at all stores.

turls
02-29-2004, 09:41 AM
Ghoulies and Vince are $20 at EBGames too. I could see these being just standard pricing everywhere soon. These are pretty new games to already be on clearance and "when they're gone they're gone" especially since they are first party titles. Interesting.

02-29-2004, 10:22 AM
in case you forget YMMV. Remember whenever you go anywhere and someone else wants to go to that same place, YMMV, because you arent leaving from the same place. If you both where in the same place, then its more likely YMMNV, but it still could end up happening that YMDV. Who would have guessed?

FlashStash
02-29-2004, 10:25 AM
Remeber, these are price markdowns for these games in ANY store, not just CC. You can find these price changes at Gamestop and EB too, I'd guess BB also. THey may not happen all on the same day, but these are manufacturer price decreases and not just specific to CC.

<_<

All CC should have these markdowns active, because they're all in the computer. Unless your CC is amish for some reason, these prices should work anywhere.

well, so far neither of the close best buys have dropped either ghoulies or voodoo (FYI)

Interesting... an Amish CC. What would they build their electronics with, wood.. and uhh more wood? However they started putting non-electric LED's in they're buggies which are pretty cool. But seriously stop hating on the Amish folk as they obviously can't defend themselves... =P

Today I scored Gungrave (PS2) for $7.99, Guitaroo Man (PS2) listed for $19.99 but rang up for $15.99, and Rez (PS2) listed as $49.99 but rang up for $39.99. Rez wasn't very cheap, but hey it's not like its getting any easier to find...

03-27-2004, 06:25 AM
I was able to get Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Voodoo Vince at Best Buy for $15 each (using the GGCC.) Your guys' Best Buys may have marked the prices down now, too, so you should check them again.

schultzed
03-27-2004, 09:29 AM
Voodoo Vince is definitely a worthwhile game for $20 ($15 with coupon).

Not earthshattering but a bit underated. Play Magazine called it platformer of the year (Ratchet 2 and Jak 2 were considered action games).

jrutz
03-27-2004, 09:35 AM
Yeah, what happened to scdoanintendo?
