OK, so I go to work today and get asked "Did you see the video game sale?" "Oh no...let me go see"

Well, in short, my Sears was getting ready for X-mas with sales and deals out the rear lately, and video games were on the list. Some games that I grabbed and prices listed:

Updated List: 8/01/04

Xbox:
Batman Dark Tomorrow: $5
Tiger Woods 2004: $10
Tiger Woods 2003: $15
WWE Raw 2: $10
The Sims: $15
The Sims: Busting Out: $15
Midnight Club 2: $10 or $15
Need For Speed: Underground: $15
SSX3 : $10 or 15
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun: 10 or 15.
Jet X20: $5

PS2:

Defender: $5
Amplitude: $5

This was at North Wales, PA, store #1834.
If you see a game you want, go to your local sears, see if they have it, and tell them that another Sears store has it. They can call and confirm. The Phone Number is 215-362-4257

I'll get a full list tomorrow, and post when they're gone

If you stop in my store, come by and tell me. I work in lawn and Garden, short guy, brown hair. DO NOT mention me when calling for a pricematch. I don't want to get in any trouble

Yeah, PoP was one of those games I wanted to pick up, and waited, and waited, and finally gave in

OK, this was the store in North Wales, PA. If you stop in before Wednesday, stop by L&G and tell Rob you're a cheapass, and maybe give me a quick thanks. LOL

Wow, I strongly suggest picking up Panzer Dragoon Orta if you can, I bought it full price and it rocked. I want to pick up NFS:U.

I was able to stop by a Sears a couple of hours ago. They had Panzer Dragoon Orta marked at $29.99 behind the glass case. I had the sales associate take it out and scan it. It rang up at $14.97, so those prices are YMMV :(

Like I said before, Located in North Wales, PA

As soon as I read the post, I ran to the nearest Sears (in Tacoma, WA). Only title they had was Wild Arms 3 (PS2) and it scanned at $19.97! I hate these YMMV deals :evil:

Sporadic
08-01-2004, 01:41 AM
Damn good deal. I will have to try to get

Tiger Woods 2004: $10

08-01-2004, 05:37 AM
Haha watch nobody else get these deals.

People never seem to learn their lesson with Sears. :)

I want PDO!

YoshiFan1
08-01-2004, 11:35 AM
Darn, why did I have to be at the shore this weekend. Did they have a lot of copies of PDO?, when I get back home I'm going to have to go to that store (I might check Willow Grove too but I doubt they will have the prices on those games). Thanks for the info.

Richter
08-01-2004, 01:06 PM
i want Amplitude ;_;

ropeadope
08-01-2004, 01:13 PM
Amplitude for $5 is also real hot. I have a feeling i'm going to go to sears and there won't be any kind of game sale going on though :?

BLarR
08-01-2004, 01:14 PM
Wow, the Sears by me still had Pop going for 52.99, and had Need For Speed at 45.00. You never find deals in the city it seems.

Detective Thorn
08-01-2004, 01:50 PM
No luck at my local Sears. The only game from the list that I saw was Grabbed by the Ghoulies, which was going for $9.9x.

Cmosfm
08-01-2004, 03:34 PM
Meh, I'm not even trying.

I've learned my lesson with at least 5 Sears runs before, never pans out, this one won't either.

:(

Bune
08-01-2004, 04:31 PM
they had PoP for the low low price of 39.97. Though, they did have PDO for only $12.90. Other than that, it was a bunch of games listed at $xx.97 and 20% off that.

Pulsar
08-01-2004, 04:55 PM
Panzer Dragoon Orta and Grabbed by the Ghoulies are both gone, added a few new titles to the list. Full list, with daily updates, coming tomorrow.

zoopie
08-01-2004, 05:49 PM
Anyone know why the prices at Sears vary so much? Why aren't they (for the most part) universal like BB and CC? Just curious :?

ropeadope
08-01-2004, 05:54 PM
No luck at the local sears here in Tucson either.

scsg75
08-01-2004, 05:57 PM
The Sears here had all the games on the list, which I made the poor clerk take out of the glass and scan, and they all came up full price. Grabbed by the Ghoulies was $9.99 though. Everything else like Tiger woods (which had a sale sign that read $27.99 in front of it) rang at $49.99. Oh well.

Jaket
08-01-2004, 06:01 PM
very YMMV, both pga tour 2004 and sims bustin out for xbox were 49.99 when i went to lewiston ME store! errrr

Pulsar
08-01-2004, 07:14 PM
anyone try asking them to call my store and pricematch yet?

And the reason is this: Prices are universal, but stores can mark them down, in store, to get rid of OLD stuff to make room for new stuff. This was just something so they can clean out for x-mas.

MeGaWC27
08-01-2004, 07:22 PM

umm since you didn't have your location filled out, can you tell me which city Sears did you went to?

Scorch
08-01-2004, 07:23 PM
NFSU and Sims: Bustin Out were both 40. Saw Grabbed by the Ghoulies but I didn't bother.

Anyone know if Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 sells for 15 in the store like it does online? I was in there and saw a bunch of copies marked full price. There wasn't a Sales person around at all and I was in a hurry so I didn't have it checked.

Scorch

Will try price match tomorrow morning and report back.

Is it Sears store policy to match, no matter where the location? I don't wanna get there and fall victim to the ole "they gotta be within 25 miles" bit.

Pulsar
08-01-2004, 09:39 PM
No, they should pricematch, espcially there own store. Also, try to get a younger person, as they always seem easier to deal with.

Scorch
08-01-2004, 09:43 PM
And a girl. Not to be sexist or anything, but the girls seem to be nicer. This guy acted rude and busy, but this girl came over and was all bubbly and happy and stuff and gladly pricechecked for me.

Thanks for the heads up. Hope I get the stuff tomorrow. It seems so perfect, too, they had almost every item that you listed in the OP, and a little bit more. They had tons of NFS:U.

$15 is too much for dark allaince 2 imo, rented it for 99 cents a while back, when it is under $10 i might consider picking it up and beating it.

I remember when someone got a psone+lcd bundle for $30 at the sears in new york city, and we all tried to price match that, but none of the stores would pricematch it bc it was out of state, and even the stores in new york state would not do the price match, so I am afraid were are out of luck on this one.(unless you live in pennsylvania.)

umm Pulsar, I was asking BLarR which store he went to just in case he went to the one I was gonna go, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
I guess it doesn't matter anymore, I'm gonna try to price match the games at my sears with your sears to see will i get the cheap games :D . Thx again for telling us this deal Pulsar

edit:
oh yeah I forgot to ask, what times does Sears open and close? is it different for every sears? I can't find their business time anywhere on the site or on the ads. grr

Wow, the Sears by me still had Pop going for 52.99, and had Need For Speed at 45.00. You never find deals in the city it seems.

At that price, you could have pricematch to last week's CC ad, which had it for $14.99. With the additional 10%, would have came out to $11.19, which I would grab in a heartbeat 8)

Sears has had this "clearance" going on for a few weeks now. They aren't getting ready for christmas, they are going to be getting rid of the gaming sections completely in most stores. My store has already thrown out the large glass cases, and has put all the video games onto one small shelf. They then proceed to mark the prices way up, or mark them down by 5 bucks. NFS:U was $44.99 on "clearance".

MeGaWC27
08-02-2004, 12:59 PM
well I went down to the nearest Sears and they didn't even have NFSU so I didn't even get to ask if they will PM, o well...

Crap.. mine has like 10 but I can't get down there right now.

I claimed it, don't you dare go grab them all!!

..but if you do, sell 'em to me at cost again.

The Queen's Blvd sears has a couple copies of Wild Arms 3 for 19.97. Not the $10 announced here, but not bad.

Pulsar
08-02-2004, 11:06 PM
Well, someone had called my work from Ohio today, which one of you cheapasses was it?

Also, they're down to mainly the old sports games, which I will not list, as they are pointless.


PS. Some kid bought 19 yesterday, and claimed to sell them for $50 each on ebay, already. What a tool. Someone else mentioned buying them and selling them on ebay, and I told him, truthfully, that it's not even worth it, as they go on ebay for about the same amount.

I checked two Sears today. At one it didn't look like anything was happening with the games, but they were seriously moving stuff around and reorganizing. I'll check in tomorrow to see if they marked down any games. The second Sears was totally cleared out of Xbox games, there was only like 4 titles remaining in the store. Almost looked like they were getting rid of their Xbox software and continuing to sell Xbox hardware & accessories as well as PS2 stuff.

I just went to my Sears. Northridge CA and picked up Panzer Dragoon Orta for 14.98. Great Deal. I called and the guy said it was 29.99 but I told him to scan it and it rang up as 14.98. There's one copy left! Go get it.

I found the XBOX HiDef adapter for $9.95 at the Sears in Santa Rosa, CA. I haven't been to a Sears in years and I thought that was a pretty good deal. I haven't seen it for under MSRP anywhere. I already have the HiDef adapter tho :roll:
