until KB closes

You gotta be messing with me. Um dood, you're outta a job. Maybe.

[bmulligan]

So, the typically overpriced $49 game at KB Toys which is seling for $29 everywhere else is only $39 at the KB sale with 20% off. COOL!

[jetblac]

Well if you can get your hands on a ps2, which they wont have, you could get it for $143.99 (which you won't)
Game cube would be $80...
Good luck

[daphatty]

Can any other KB employees verify this?

Looks like it is at all stores.

[Spiritseed]

Cool I need some new GBA games. Thanks for the heads up.

[jt2k3]

I can OFFICIALLY VERIFY THIS. :D

[Ivanhoe]

So the only good deals would be 20% off the systems which are the same price at kb then other stores.

I doubt youll find anything else worth buying . And most people here already have their game console bought too.

Otherwise im sure gamecubes,ps2s and xbx,s will be flying off the shelves.

[red flare graf]

My KB had unopened factory sealed Genesis and SNES games when they were doing their closing sale.. I got Vectorman 2, Desert Strike, Beavis and Butthead, and.. some SNES NHL game (I forget which year), for $3.75 a pop, factory sealed.

Oh, and Eye of the Beholder for GBA at $9.80.

[buddy the puppy]

bmulligan has a serious point! :lol:

[weimerwanger]

This sale isn't a store-closing sale, but way to go on making yourself look like an ass by insulting everyone.

Does this sale apply to store-closing sales as well? Can anyone confirm that, because an extra 20% off the 30% at the closing stores would be a great deal.

Afraid not:

Not valid on purchase of K•B Toys Gift Cards. Discounts taken off lowest prices at register. Not valid at K•B Toy Outlets, K•B Toys at Sears, K•B Toys at Safeway, KBtoys.com, eToys.com or any store having a closing sale.

[laparka72]

can I get something today and have em price match the sale price tomorrow? I wonder...

[oddfella]

Time to buy an xbox i think....

[Togepy]

I called up the local KB store and they said it doesn't apply to consoles. I said it says EVERYTHING and they said read the fine print, I said only gift cards are excluded, he said well video games consoles are excluded. YMMV on consoles.

[YoshiFan1]

Maybe bring the print out of the page with you if you plan to try to get a console. It may not help but if you have something to show them maybe you stand a better chance of getting the deal to work on a console.

[nickofearth]

Damn. I don't have a KB near me. Maybe a trip to Portland is in order.

[jt2k3]

Guys I just got back from work and talked to the DM. Videogame Systems are included in this nation wide sale. However, most stores are out of stock of most systems.

[stocker08]

i have no kb toys within 20 miles of my house :-(

Ok I guess the fool I was talking to on the phone didn't know what he was talking about. He said they only had red GBA SPs anyway and that's the worst color IMO. So I guess I won't be buying anything.

[oNeWiNgEdAnGeL]

Let's try and keep this within CAG only. I haven't seen a topic about this at VG Talk nor anywhere else. This is a very good deal for certian items that I'm looking for.

[YoshiFan1]

There's already 2 posts about it on Fat Wallet.

[englishboy]

OK, I'm asking a dumb ass question--as opposed to a cheap ass question: would it be worth $140 to get a second Xbox and link them together for games like Ghost Recon, etc. ? Two boxes, two TVs, two copies of the game? Am I missing anything.

[YoshiFan1]

Depends on how often you would use the 2nd Xbox for multiplayer

[englishboy]

actually I was trying to think of how many games would effectively link up this way? I suppose I can rule out all sports--football, basketball, which I tend to play--and that leaves, for me, FPS games. Hmmm.

[Masterkyo]

I am going get Bestbuy Pricematch with Kbtoys if Possible :)

[SolinariDotCom]

My KB has been through this and all ready closed down - they only offered 30% off games.

However, the OTHER KB in town is offering 30% as well, though recently hiked to an even higher 40% off. I assume they will hit 50% before everything is gone.

This is in Tallahassee, Florida, by the way.

[ElwoodCuse]

This is really only worthwhile if there is a $50 game that you absolutely have to have (you get $5 more off than at Best Buy with the GGC) or are lucky enough to get a console at 20% off.

[bingbangboom]

Yeah I don't know if the store near me will do it. There are 2 in Delaware that I know of that are core KB stores. Since lack of sales tax I think they do good because people come down here to buy stuff.

On an interesting note, KBtoys.com is taking pre-orders on GTA:San Adreas... a game not scheduled to be out till October... I thought they were not really going to be in the game by then.

[larvamiyu]

I think KBToys was going to shut down for a while now, drop by one of the local store several weeks ago, they were already on sale on lots of stuff. not much games left, let alone console. The only console i saw was PS One. Good luck on finding any good stuff.

[Pinnacle]

Kbtoys is selling Billy Hatcher for 20 right now. At 20% off that makes it a 16 dollar game!!!!

[rebenns]

Gotta check it out.

[laparka72]

none of my kb's have any consoles..i think they must be holding em in the bakc or something...
ins't it odd the day fo a big sale, they are magically "sold out" of ALL consoles?

[oddfella]

Well I'm a little angry. I called the 10 kbs within 10 miles of me and not one of them had any Xboxes. Of course they all have Gamecube, PS2, and Gameboy SP though. O well I gues ill have to wait for the "price drop"

[laparka72]

I caled every KB within a 60 mile radius of Los Angeles and not a single one had an xbox...some even said they have had any since xmas!
It's all an evil plan to lure you in to buy their expensive games...

[englishboy]

No Xboxes in Greenville, SC. But there are PS2, if anyone is interested.

[Masterkyo]

good deal is COnsole system ;)

[BABETOOTH]

Does anybody know of any good deals in NYC? I live in the bronx and there is nothing good going on here. Please advise of any good deals in NYC, Bronx, Yonkers etc. Will greatly apreciate it!!!

[BABETOOTH]

Masterkyo, I see we joined the same day. Coincidence I posted right sfter you! Dont have nearly as many posts as you do! Keep up the good work!

[Dysheekie]

Just got back with a sweet black GBA SP for 80 bucks. Rock on CAG! :P

[GuilewasNK]

I just got back, I got a Platinum GBA SP for $79.99, a GameBoy player for $39.99 (what I wanted most), I also got Ninja Gaiden for $39.99 (not bad IMO), and FF X-2 for $39.99 (I know it will eventually get greatest hits status but I ain't waiting that long. All in all, not too shabby.

[Santorum X]

Dammit! No GCN at KBs near me. Maybe I'll get NG for $40.

[Lstorm34]

damn i called kb toys in redondo beach area any those fools said the same consoles not part of deal

[jboy]

Just got a PS2! BOOYA!!! Thanks TheHUZSG20, jt2k3, and Yoshifan1 for posting about this deal.

[azrael]

just got back from my local kb...and they had everything off EXCEPT videogame hardware. they had hand-written that on the bottom of the flyers that they had posted up. accessories and games were part of it...but not hardware. guess i'll have to wait for the price drop come e3 before i'll be picking up a new ps2. =(

[YoshiFan1]

Maybe write a letter to corporate about that? If the terms don't have systems and being excluded and all stores are expected to follow the same terms, it doesn't seem right one store should be able to exclude something.

[kaw]

The KB near me in Johnson City, NY doesn't carry any console systems or games. Just a lackluster group of overpriced GBA games. :?

[Lstorm34]

i called kb earlier and asked about the console and they said it wasnt included so later on i took my chance and went to the same kb toys and there they said it was included and that whoever i talked made a mistake. the only hardware left were the 3 ps2 and 1 gamecube. picked up a ps2 even though i wanted the online pack but hey you cant beat the 20% off thank you to the people for posting this sale. to confirm i went to 2 local kb toys and both were out of xboxs those stores were the redondo beach and torrance store. but the game prices sucked ass though.

[TheHUZSG20]

well i'm glad to see i could help some people get some cheap stuff. unfortunatly i couldn't even benifit from this deal cause i'm broke...we usually only get 10% off videogames and nothing off the systems so this is even a good deal to us employees. like i said in my original post though they are also running this sale next saturday and sunday the 13th and 14th. i do not yet know the details of it but from what i've heard so far its pretty much the same as the sale they had tonight. i'll try to keep yous updated as i get the info.

[oNeWiNgEdAnGeL]

KB Toys sucks major balls. All there games were overpriced. An awesome deal went to waste on a crappy ass store.

[imacheapasstoo]

Just wanted to say thanks much for posting this info. Otherwise I never would've known about the sale. I picked up Ninja Gaiden for $40, which is pretty good considering I couldn't find it for less than $45 elsewhere.

I'm gonna have to go get a second job to afford all of these most excellent CAG deals.

[Masterkyo]

So, Anyone Comfirm 20% off sale again on Friday NExt Week (March 12, 2004) ??

Thanks

[magus83]

Have you tried the Kbtoys in Yonkers on central ave.? they had a pretty good selection during their last sale.

[ksuwild25]

My KB just had 40-60% off video games and I MISSED it since they are closing. Dangit oh well I'll just catch it next ti... wait a minute, there is no next time. I plan on goin back whenever EB calls about my The Suffering pick up and I hope there is something left.

[jt2k3]

[oddfella]

Open-Close, according to teh signage we got in.

[JohnnyDrama]

Will closing stores put the 20% off discount on top of the discount they already have on video games (meaning if games are already 40% off, they'll make it 60% off total)?

According to ad on the KBtoys website from last Friday the 20% off is not valid at the stores going out of business.

Thanks for the info, oddfella. I was hoping for a 60% off deal, but 40% off is good enough for me.
