It's been a while since I saw the list as big as it is. Again, I'll try to post the rest up Friday night when I head in to work. I'm still waiting for Odin Sphere to go down, though. I may have to pick it up as it is before it just dissappears altogether.
Also, the regular markdown list..all I can remmeber is Beowolf for 360 already went down to $20 and I think that new Cars something Mater game went down too...
I forgot the others...sorry. These should take effect Friday the 7th(maybe even Thursday the 6th). Enjoy!

I'm waiting for Okami on the Wii, otherwise I would pick it up.
I'll probably pick up Metal Slug. I'm thinking Bullet Witch may not be worth it even at the clearance price.

I've played through Okami thoroughly, and recommend it with all my heart and soul. However, holding out for the Wii version is not a bad move.
As for Bullet Witch - it's really not worth $17, have you read any of its reviews? Get it when it hits the $5 bin where it belongs; that is, if you really want it.
Donnums
12-06-2007, 03:54 AM
I got Bullet Witch when it first came out. $16 is ALMOST worth it...if you don't mind bearing with its problems. Graphics are "eh", environments are huge and open with almost nothing going on most of the time...A.i. is bad, the other weapons you have are just about useless.. but the spells are awesome and it has a decent physics engine and it IS a somewhat fun mindless shooter. There were glitches...the last boss took FOREVER to beat(he had a lot of health..).
It's a strictly average game that could've been awesome if it had a lot more development time.

I've never heard much positive feedback about BW - aside from the ability to dress the main character like a slutty schoolgirl or a slutty mahou shoujo - but mindless shooters are always a good time in my book. Still, you can get EDF at that price +2 bucks.
BTW, why isn't Okami at the top of the list?! No way does it deserve 2nd place. Otherwise, way to go on your first post!

I've never had trouble price adjusting with clearance stuff. I haven't done it much, but I guess the only important thing to note is to keep them unopened - you know, just in case. Oh, and obviously, hang on to the receipt.

Yeah, I remember the outfits. I never got any of them but I remember people getting ridiculously upset over not having them right away.
And if it came down to EDF or BulletWitch....EDF hands down. I bought EDF the day it came out and I absolutely love it..and Okami will be at the top of the list :). I only remembered it that way because the list was alphabetical.
Oh, COME ON, Circuit City.
Why do you have to start clearancing out things I actually want as soon as I have a distinct lack of money?

Thanks. I guess either way - like you said - if it's still sealed they'd have to take it back, then I could just take it and rebuy it right in front of them (I've done it before at BB :lol:)

btw, parappa for psp is so-so. not as good as the ps1 version. heck if youre psp is hack then i'd play the ps1 version instead. but it does have a versus mode which i never really tried since i played the JP version of the game.

EDF is orders of magnitude better than Bullet Witch could ever hope to be. I rented Bullet Witch through GameFly for one day and I still felt ripped off. :(
I'm holding off on Okami for the enhanced Wii port but it's a must-buy at that price, along with Tomb Raider Legend 360 and Trauma Center for no one that has it yet!

Looks like it's a hunt for:
Project Sylpheed 360 $16.96 (and replace my $19.99 BB copy)
Custom Robo Arena DS $16.96
Full Auto 2: Battlelines PS3 $16.96
Maybe Bullet Witch if I feel like tossing away $17 + tax. :D
Don't forget about the $15 off $100 or more coupons at CC, which I think should still be good for another week. Find enough clearance games and other stuff to bring it up to $100, and you'll get $15 off. :D
xxtheycallmedxx
12-06-2007, 11:55 AM
thanks op,this along with the 2 $20 or less games for $30 makes each game $15(well,thats how it happened last time I bought 2 $17 clearance games during the 2 for $30 sale)....so I'll get 6 for $90,then one game at $17 bringing me to $107 before tax.After the $15 off of $100 coupon I'll be at $92 before tax..not bad for 7 games...or I could do 6 and a magazine to just put me over the $100 mark just to use the coupon....hmmm.....
right now the only thing im in for is Lord Of The Rings

Also, I need to pick up Okami.

Wow, price drops on some good games, too bad I'm on Christmas cutoff (I don't by anything for myself after black Friday). I'll try to pick up Okami for as a gift for someone. I'll be holding out on the Wii version, and I'll be adding Metal Slug Anthology to my girlfriend's Christmas list for me.

My CC had 1 Sylpheed left and a few FA2s.I need to run by CC on the way home, so I may need to do some checking in advance and see which ones would be worth running over to.
Thanks for the info, though it wouldn't be worth me having anyone pick up Sylpheed for me, as shipping would kill the couple of bucks to save what I paid $20 + tax at BB. FA2, that's another story.

saw metal slug anthology for wii at target for $28 then came down to $19 but didn't pick up. how is the game?
But what about control? There have been a ton of rumblings with this game, centered almost entirely around the different control schemes included and whether or not Metal Slug Anthology can work with the GameCube and classic controllers. Here's the verdict: Control could be better, but you'll most likely find one that works fine for you. In our opinion, throw away five of the control schemes right off the bat. There's no reason to use two controllers on this one (nunchuck to move and Wii-mote to attack/jump, motion control for throwing grenades), and there's certainly no reason to use the "nunchuk only" control scheme that makes the game one-handed and odd. What it comes down to for us is either the Wii-mote on its side (like the NES days), using the d-pad to move, the buttons to jump/shoot, and flicking the controller to throw grenades, or just caving in the use the GameCube controller.
It's a bit frustrating to see so many control schemes and not more than two of them that really make sense though. None of the control setups (aside from GameCube and an odd motion = moving one… blegh) allow for grenades to be mapped to a button press, and for some reason the GameCube controller also doesn't let you use the d-pad and not the analog stick. That means that with all the crazy "use your Wii controller upright as a virtual arcade stick" crap that was put in the game there isn't a single mode that lets you use a d-pad along with all button presses for the game's actions. Granted if you don't mind using the analog stick you're fine with the GameCube setup, and if you're anything like us you'll just end up tracking down a few arcade sticks to do things right anyhoo, but the control choices really are odd. *Please note: If you're going to go about the arcade stick method, you'll need to find sticks that take input from the analog signal rather than the d-pad.
As another final note on control, there's no support for the Wii Classic Controller at all. While we don't have a solid answer for you as to why this is the case, there have been more than a few rumblings about the reason, but mostly the consensus was that there was a discrepancy between SNK and Nintendo on whether or not the classic controller should be available to developers for full retail games just yet. Regardless of why classic control can't be used, we'll just state the facts; it can't be. It's a shame, it's moronic, but that's the way it is.

I didn't like Icon at all. The fighting engine was too simple and boring and seemed a tad unresponsive. It's nothing like Vendetta for Fight for NY. The only upshot was that you could import your tunes on 360 and have the environment jump to the beat.

I tried Odin Sphere, rang up $39.99, and Earth Defense Force, rang up $19.99. One store had them all pulled and marked and I didn't notice anything good that wasn't on the list.
I did get Tomb Raider Anniversary for $16.96 because it was mistagged.
Every time I use the Gamer's card it is an adventure to check out. Add the $15 off $100 coupon and it takes about 20 minutes to cash out.
gona try and get these games:
OKAMI PS2 $16.96
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II 360 $16.96
Parappa The Rapper PSP $16.96

Couldn't find Okami, but got a copy of Trauma Center. If anyone wants to trade (even an opened Okami) for my sealed Trauma Center, pm me!!

Elebits Wii 16.96

Metal Slug Anthology is a GREAT BUY at that price. You get 7 games! They are all pretty similar but if you like insane button mashing side shooters, this is a great collection.
I think I'm going to wait for Wii Okami. But I would like to check out Elebits and Trauma Center.

Every time I use the Gamer's card it is an adventure to check out. I hear that. I'm pretty sure the system only accepts the card when you're buying a new game at full price, but seeing as how I'm not posting on "Rich Ass Gamer", you can probably guess how often I do that. I usually just tell the tool at the register that the card never works, and they just swipe that magic card that lets them do anything and manually take 10% off.
I've been waiting for "Lunar Knights" to drop. Definitely going to have to go get that ASAP.
Slim Gatsby
12-06-2007, 07:23 PM
Lunar Knights is good, eh?
I'm going to have to find a sealed Okami for my collection and a new Trauma Center, then sell/trade in my stupid cart-only one.
See this is why I want the full list before I head out. I had a feeling about Kororinpa and would have checked that. I wonder what else there is? I really hope I can find these $15 off coupons because it definitely looks like I can find 6 games I want.

Nothing I've seen so far. The only thing similar coming up is 25% certain(maybe all?) "Cool Deals" games. Those are basically anything $14.99 or less. Not necessarily things like "$4.96"; those are difference because they are discontinued stock. Games like Half Life 2 on XBox or Guilty Gear Judgement are eligle for that 25% off promo.
See this is why I want the full list before I head out.
I was going to wait as well, but I gave in and went out today. Now I have to go back and look for Elebits. Every time there is a decent clearance I end up making multiple trips.

12-06-2007, 07:40 PM
Thanks for the list and the mini updated list.
Scored Metal Slug and Lunar Knights.
Don't yell at me but I forgot about Okami. (I don't believe it)
At least now when I go back I'll grab Elebits and maybe that marble one.
I had my fingers crossed that there wouldn't be any more clearences till after xmas. Oh well someones getting less stuff cause I'm getting more.

$15 off $100 you mean?
I guess they're not accepting copies of those, eh?

There should be some around the store, usually by the customer service desk. So you shouldn't need a copy.

Yeah, people always say that and then I can never find any and the employees don't have any idea what I'm talking about when I ask. They think they are only given out via mail to special customers or some such nonsense. I hope I can find one tonight though. I decided I'd hit up one store tonight, and then maybe the 2 others tomorrow when the list is (hopefully) more complete.

OKAMI PS2 $16.96 <--- Go get this NOW! I love this game!
Trauma Center DS $16.96
Children of Mana $16.96
Metal Slug Anthology Wii $16.96
Elebits Wii $16.96
Parappa The Rapper PSP $16.96
Will definitely check on those tomorrow!
For what it's worth, my store didn't have anything marked yet, they were all still on the shelf.
They were out of Metal Slug (argh), but I picked up Parappa, which I've been meaning to do anyway.
Also... Yakuza went on clearance a while back, right? They had like 6 copies still on the rack for $40. I thought it was strange.

Was browseing the threads on my lunch break this morning and ran across this one. Needless to say I finished eating and headed straight for the nearest CC.
Picked up the last copy of Metal Slug Anthology. Made myself walk away from everything else. :)
Though now that the list has expanded a bit I may have to head back over tomarrow.
Thanks again

Shrike, I believe you had wanted someone to pick up Full Auto 2 if you couldn't find it? If the other copy is still there, and my friends don't want it, I could probably go ahead and do that for you.

Picked up Okami, Project Slypheed (eh, shooter for $17, might as well), and Metal Slug, thanks OP!
About that $15 off of 100 coupon, anyone have a scan? Could I just bring my receipt back and have them adjust it or do I have to return the stuff and rebuy it with the coupon?

Oh and to anyone that's passing up Okami...why? Not that I care whether or not you play the game, but you realize that if you don't like it you can resell it USED for $30-40 on Amazon and ebay, right?

That should be a sign that yes, it really is that bad.
I went to CC to pick up Lunar Knights, picked it up and then hesitated, put it down and left. I just couldn't justify it for $17.xx (after taxes). I'm kinda relieved, that's $17 saved.

God Hand has humor going for it and that's about it.
The combat system is garbage unless you are fighting ONLY 1 enemy and that hardly ever happens, the camera is garbage, the guy you play as controls like a tank. I really wanted to like it but couldn't.

Hey guys, we got a new list of games this week for Clearance. I won't be able to post the entire list until Friday(next time I work) but there were some gems in there.

It's been a while since I saw the list as big as it is. Again, I'll try to post the rest up Friday night when I head in to work. I'm still waiting for Odin Sphere to go down, though. I may have to pick it up as it is before it just dissappears altogether.
Also, the regular markdown list..all I can remmeber is Beowolf for 360 already went down to $20 and I think that new Cars something Mater game went down too...
I forgot the others...sorry. These should take effect Friday the 7th(maybe even Thursday the 6th). Enjoy!
I bought Okami about a week and a half ago from CC. I am going back for the price adjustment. This is a game that you must experience. I noticed that Full Auto 2 for the PS3 was on the list. These prices were effective today, because I picked up a copy of Full Auto 2 today.
Get Okami people!

My Circuit City in Austin didn't have any of these games marked as on sale, but I purchased Okami and Battle for Middle Earth 2 which both rang up correctly at 16.96. I'm going to try to go back tomorrow and get some additional games -- this time I'm bringing the list with me.

12-06-2007, 11:08 PM
It's amazing how a post like this on CAG can really affect the prices on ebay and such so quickly. Just yesterday before this post Okami was selling for $60+, now prices have slumped to about $40 and I'm sure it will go down as more CAG's buy to resell.

The Wii version should be better because it is going to run on superior hardware. The company (or Capcom themselves, I forget) stated it would be a straight port. More than likely, it will load faster and look sharper than its PS2 counterpart ... at least in theory.
any thoughts on Gundam Crossfire for $16.96? I love gundam and I thought Journey to Jaburo was decent and that was the last gundam game I played
GS gave it a 3.3.
Most reviews pan it as the worst PS3 game available.
I'm a sucker for Gundam games, so I got it. I haven't played it yet. It will probably suck, but oh well. I want it for my collection of games anyways :)
I want Genji to get marked down to $16.96. It probably sucks, but I want it.
I already beat all of my PS3 games, so I'm trying to buy and beat the crappy ones now.

Got the last Okami at the Santa Monica, CA store. I then walked down to Banana Republic and got a corduroy jacket for $54.99 down from $179.99. The last stop was Sears right by the 10 freeway and got a Logitech Harmony Xbox 360 remote for 32.97.

Metal Slug Anthology Wii $16.96
Elebits Wii $16.96
HOT DAMN, I just saw these (and Okami) the other day at the closest CC.
Might just jump on 'em.
Oh, interesting note about my trip, by the way... you know those little white plastic backers with the name of the game on them? The ones that 'organize' (HA!) the sections? They already had one up for Nights: Journey of Dreams, and an empty shelf. I thought that was *extremely* odd. No fanfare or anything, just a white placard thing. Strange.
So, anyone, on the note of nothing like what I was talking about... does anyone happen to have an extra Metal Slug Anthology (Wii) they'd like to sell? They were sold out at mine, and the next time I'll even be anywhere near another CC is in about two weeks, which unfortunately won't help my quest to find it. Thanks. :)

Wow, CAG is making me go broke. I ran out and picked up Okami and Full Auto 2 tonight. I actually really enjoyed the demo of Full Auto 2, but I wasn't going to pay $60 for it. Now at $16, it's a steal. I'm also hoping I enjoy Okami. That one is a bit of a shot in the dark, but the reviews sold me on it.
I went up to the guy at Circuit City and asked him to scan the games to see what price they were and he looked at me, then the prices listed on the front ($60 and $40 respectively) and then looked back at me like I was retarded. I told him that I heard that these games were going on sale tomorrow but weren't marked yet. He then gave me another look like he didn't believe me, but that he'd humor me and scan them in.
He scanned them in and they came up on sale for $16 each, and the smugness was whiped right off of his face. I just smiled and said, thanks, ring them up.
Oh and my Circuit City in Appleton, WI had about 15 copies of Okami, and I got the last Full Auto 2.

SOrry kind of off topic here but I did not know where to ask this question and did not want to create a new thread. Anyway I was wondering If I can return a product to any circuit city or does it have to be the one from the place I originally purchased.

Man, I had my goal set on Okami and forgot that Children of Mana was on sale. I asked an employee if they had Okami in stock and the employee queried it in the system and it reported one in stock. I searched 2 of the big bins without any success and then searched the entire PS2 section looking behind every single game starting from A to Z. After looking at the very last game did I find the Okami I was looking for.

Picked up Lunar Knights. Didn't find Metal Slug or Okami. Just noticed Children of Mana (ds) so I will add it to my list as my search for Okami and MS Anthology continues. Hopefully, OP has a chance to update the list before I go out.

This may be a silly question covered in a previous CC price drop thread, but if the title is still on the shelves and hasn't been marked for clearance will it ring up as the clearance price or for the stickered price in that store? I mean, you know, if I try and buy something that's marked 29.99 but it's "the list" on page one, which price will I get?
I went to 2 CC's Thurs night. One had no indication that the games were on clearance and they were in the regular stacks (so, to answer your question PacManess, YES they will ring up on clearance). The second had them marked $16.96 and in a bin with the older clearance stuff. Neither had Okami, but I noticed a plastic divider in the PS2 section labeled with Okami so I'm assuming they had a few but either tagged them and put them out and promptly sold them or some other CAG or more nefarious type swooped them all up from the regular stacks. This was at the Clackamas, OR store so if anyone here did so fess up ;).
Both stores had pretty much everything else. I found the only copy of Kororinpa at either store, though, and that was my big target so I did OK.
I'm actually pissed that Okami went on clearance (though it's availability seems limited) because just a few days ago I listed mine on ebay since I never got around to opening my PS2 (preordered) copy and figured I would rather play the recently announced Wii version instead. I was hoping to get the cash back ($40 after fees) to pay for said Wii version. That may not happen now... If only this clearance could have been AFTER Christmas :lol:.

THE CLEARANCE PRICE... them not marking games is a good thing for the informed bargain hunters as most people will overlook an older 49.99 or more games, even if the true price is 16.96 because they dont know about it
I picked up Okami (marked 39.99 sticker)
Metal Slug (marked 16.96)
Elebits (marked 16.96)
and Full Auto (marked 39.99)

don't forget if you buy 6 of $16.96 games(over $100) you can use $15 off coupon.

I'm going to have to check on Elebits. I had the game, but traded it in before I had the chance to play it. I heard it's quite good.

Wow, that sucks. A couple of months ago when I was looking for new copies Okami on eBay, there were usually only ~5 copies listed and they all ended up ~$40-45 with shipping. And it was like this for a few months. I lucked out and was quick to the draw on a buy it now of $20 and change and scored one. Now, I see there are a lot more listed and one of them even has CC label on it.
IMO, it's probably more about people finding out about the Wii version and deciding to hold out on that than people finding a whole bunch of them at CC because a lot of the CCs I went to didn't have copies and the one or two that did only had one.
Mine's still sealed and I'm also holding out to see how the Wii version is and then might sell mine if it's that much better.

I remember seeing it but I can't seem to find or locate that coupon/thread under any search terms that I'm using. Does anyone have a link to that thread? Many thanks in advance!

I found 2 boxes for Elebits, but one was a display copy and they couldnt find a second copy. I saw 3 copies of Trauma Center DS, but going to wait till Monday to pick them up if they are still there. No luck on Metal Slug though :cry:

Went for Project Slypheed, Earth Defense Force (19.99), and Okami, got only Project Slypheed. This location (Fenton, MO outside St. Louis) hasn't had Okami in over a year. It sold out when it was still full price and hasn't been restocked.

Heh...I read just the opening post and a few other posts before I left this morning and decided to go to circuit city.
I ended up seeing a printout on colored paper of the TC's original post in the clearance bin. Big thanks whoever left that at the Baton Rouge circuit city. None of the prices were marked.
I picked up Okami, Elite Beat Agents, Trauma Center, Metal Slug, and Elebits.

I'll close this one so we don't have 2 floating near the top of the Deals page. Big thanks to Donnums, though, for getting it started. I think that helped a lot of CAGs get in on Okami and the others before they disappeared (while Neo got his act together ;)).
