I don't mean to doubt you but are you sure it's Simpsons Hit & Run and not Simpsons Road Rage? If it is Hit & Run that is a fantastic deal considering most places still have it at $40.

Transformers has been 29.99 at EB and Gamestop for a while now.
Yeahman
08-09-2004, 07:05 PM
It is Simpson's Hit and Run. Positive.
Unfortunately for me no stores in my district have it accept one that is a couple of hours away.
It will be hard to find but a great deal if you do.

What's your point?
I post all markdowns rather they are great deals or not.
Plus with the GGC you can get it for 25. Check your math and you'll find that's 5 bucks cheaper.
Got anything usefull to contribute? :roll:

Have someone at your local Best Buy look up the item and see if the DC has any. That will give you an idea if there is any chance at restocking.
Don't get your hopes up though. All these games been deleted, and on the entire list the only game we have listed as coming in to our store is Syphon Filter.

i was at BB today and happy as hell because they had 7 copies of final fantasy origins on the shelf with no tag on them....brought a couple up to the counter....$14.99 each...great deal, but nowhere near as great as $4.99....its funny that i had my on back order forever and they can still restock the stores after 4 months, but they cant give me my damn back order....bastards....

1) !!!!! was a joke because I love Transformers and the game.
2) Did you even read that topic.? It was a small list of games that one person saw when they went to the store. This is the complete list of price changes for the day.
Gee which is better? ( No offense to the other OP )
3) If accidently typing two l's is the worst mistake I make today then I'll live.

This thread is obviously far more detailed than the other one. Not everyone knows about each individual game that has seen a price drop at EB and Gamestop already and as Yeahman already pointed out you can now save $5 more by buying it at Best Buy. I hope my Best Buy gets a copy of Hit & Run.

2. Yes, I read the topic. What exactly is your point? He posted the information before you did, partial or not. So your list is "official" because you work there? Wow. I never knew your great Best Buy career path would let you obtain such a valuable insight on these "great" deals. Now comes the real joke for everyone who reads this thread. Actually finding these games in their local best buy.

The "T" in "transformers" should be capitalized.
You have a comma splice in your 4th sentence.
You're missing a comma after "USEFUL."
2nd grade English class is a valuable resource. I suggest you learn how to use it.

Wow, thanks for those fantastic grammar lessons there buddy. Do I dare to pick apart your post as well? Second grade instead of 2nd. Thumbs up to you on your proper grammar.
"2nd grade English class is a valuable resource. I suggest you learn how to use it." Shouldn't that apply to you also?

I can confirm Simpsons Hit & Run. Luckily it was still marked as $39.99 and there were plenty of copies left. Don't know about tomorrow, since I assume they will change the price.

Hmmm, I didnt get any luck at my store.. Of course I was there for a brief time and this is my story..
I went looking for Cube-Simpsons.. Nothing, same for Sega GT Online. But I didt see Champion of Norrath..
Then I went to the sales clerk and she informed me that Sega GT Online was DELETED from the system.. And she was kinda ditsy and couldnt find Simpsons Hit and Run in the computer..
Note, its also deleted on the online store, and those 3 games were the only games I could remember when I went to BB.

That's strange that the prices would be different at any stores. They're downloaded automatically so even though employees have to actually mark the games, they should still ring up regardless.
As far as finding these games, out of the 59 that I listed, my store only had 20, and most of those were one or two. So yeah I admit finding them can be difficult but hey, at least this way you know what to look for.
I apologize that anyone had to wade through posts of arguing. It's just annoying when you spend the time typing out sixty games, then wait and refresh the page to answer any questions for a bit, and the best response someone can come up with is to complain that one of the sixty has been that price elsewhere already.
My wording of this as the "offical" list was simply to let people know that this was the full list of games. Thanks to Josef for posting what he saw and contributing to CAG. Anyone will admit though that a list of 60 titles is more informative than 10, and I didn't want this one locked simply because it was second. Sometimes it's not who's first or second but who has the best info.

Aside from this topic, I have never started an argument. I didn't even start one here, the OP did. I simply stated that the Transformers deal was in fact OLD and has been around for several weeks now. He took it upon himself to go from there. Call it thread crapping if you want, but I am simply stating the obvious. Since you are such a "great contributor" to this site, you should know that the deal on that game was not that great, and was in fact listed many weeks ago.

They did have a few Outlaw Volleyballs and that Drag Race game. I think they had Whiplash, but it was marked $29.99

I just got back after picking up Onimusha Tactics (a decent game, worth 10 bucks) and Sega GT Online. I used the Xbox live 5 buck off thing so I got SGTO for 5 bucks.
My biggest find was the stack of Madden 2005 coupon books. Its a booklet of about 20-30 or so coupons for Xbox/PS2 games. I'll probably post about it later. The thing includes 5 bucks off games like Silent Hill 4, SRS, Mortal Kombat Deception, and a bunch more. The best coupon was probably for 20% off any dvd in the store. All the coupons expire on 12/31/04.

Found nothing near me as well. I also had my local BB look up Simpsons H & R, and they said the same exact thing. I still find it hard to believe that it's 9.99 w/o seeing a receipt.

i had someone at BB check a bunch of game prices when I was there a few hours ago. Simpsons Hit & Run for GC is definitely $9.99, prices are almost always reflected across all BBs immediately.

I just bought Simpson's Hit and Run and XIII at Best Buy for 9.99. I actually paid $7.99 a piece for them since I have a card from the local high school that gives $2 off any regular price cd, dvd, or video game. I took the last Simpson's at my store but it's definately $9.99. Awesome deal.

I picked up XIII a few months back at CC for $10, I definitely think it's worth it. very cool looking game, fun to play as well. story seems a bit convoluted, but I'm not that far into it either. give it a shot, I don't think you'll be disappointed if you enjoy FPS and/or cell-rendered games.

08-10-2004, 03:58 PM
I got the last copy of Sega GT Online from the Chicago store on Clark for $5 (after XBOX LIVE coupon).
No Onimusha Tactics left, but surprisingly they had 2 copies of Mega Man Zero 2 for $4.99 each. I almost bought one but then I realized I'd want the first one too and just decided against it.
Gosha
08-10-2004, 04:01 PM
Gameboy415, I'd suggest getting MMZ2 over the first. The first game isn't all too fun because of its difficulty. I found MMZ2 to be ALOT better then the first. I myself played Zero 2 before the first game and had no problems understanding the story.

08-10-2004, 06:06 PM
If you like tactical rpg's I think it's definately worth $10. It's not as complicated or involving as say Final Fantasy Tactics Advance but it's not a bad game at all, I have enjoyed it.
Dead of Knight
08-10-2004, 06:09 PM
Like I said in my first post in this topic, I enjoyed it more than FFTA. It is much more of an old-school type strategy-RPG than FFTA or other modern S-RPGs. It is a lot more refreshing and far better these days to have a simple game that is fun rather than a complicated game that frustrates you.

I've wanted to pick up Whiplash for awhile, I was just there on Friday and it was still $29.99. I almost picked it up because I was tired of waiting for a cheap ass price and most stores don't have it anymore, but I didn't.
I went back this morning and picked it up for $9.99.

Got the last copy of XIII (GC) from the Utica location. Only other GC games they had in were Swingerz Golf and Madden '02.
There was a placeholder for Simpson's H&R at regular price. I had the sales associate check to see if they had any copies but her computer showed it as discontinued.
Looks like I'll have to be on the watch for a pricedrop on this game at CC next.

I had the same issue with Arx Fatalis and I was glad I managed to pick it up. Ditto there for Whiplash.
Then again, PMing Whiplash to $7.99 and Arx Fatalis to $8.99 (was $19.99) wouldn't have been too bad.

Simpsons H&R (GC) is sold out at all the Columbus stores. I'm going to check out the Tuttle Crossing BB for the other titles later.

From the BB guy I spoke with, he said he couldn't find the info in the computer, which means they're likely selling out of the product.
It would be cool if it was $9.99 as well, might be and we could only be so lucky.

Yeahman - just to verify, but by "Star Trek: SU," I presume you mean ST Shattered Universe, the recent space shooter, right?
The reviews were lackluster at best, but I've been curious about this one for a while now. There are just so damn few space shooters these days you have to take what you can get, even when they're not so good - especially for 10 bucks. ;)
And thanks for the posting!

They had a copy of the PS2 version at Hickory Hollow (Nashville, TN) last night, but after checking the reviews, I put it back on the shelf. I did pick up Sega GT Online, Onimusha Tactics, Crash Nitro Cart (GBA), and Enter the Matrix (PC).
After BB, I checked out EB (not much, although he did tell me they just trashed some guides, including Super Mario 4 and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga :evil: ), and Target. At Target, I found the Deal of the Century (Splinter Cell + Prince of Persia) for PS2. I already have both games for Xbox, so if anyone is interested in the PS2 verions, let me know (yeah, I know it doesn't really belong in this thread, sorry).

Wasn't Star Trek: SU a FPS? I've actually seen a decent review score or 2.
BTW I called my BB and they said that Simpsons H&R has been discontinued for both Xbox and GCN. Now I'm pretty sure the cleark meant that it's discontinued from their system, but I wonder if production had really stopped on both ver. I know for a fact H&R sold poorly on all 3 systems, but why discontinue 2 versions and not the PS2 ver?
