Does target pricematch? If they do, can you use a gift card on a pricematched item. I have some $$$ left over on a card and I'd be cool to spend it on a $40 Star Ocean.

[The Successful Dropout]

Surprisingly enough, Target doesn't price match...they're bastards.

[jrutz]

Nice - hey TC do you know if BB or CC have any TV sales over the Labor Day weekend? You know, the sales where all TVs are 10% off, stuff like that?

Thanks for the ads - there are a couple things I'm definitely going to pick up!

Jeremy

[turls]

A true CAG surely can figure out a way to turn a gift card almost anywhere into cash ;)

Does target pricematch? If they do, can you use a gift card on a pricematched item.

[Tenacious D]

From what I've heard, Kingdom Under Fire is supposed to be a really good medieval Dynasty Warriors type of game, but I thought it got pushed back until later in September. Not sure it'll be out next week. It retails for $40 I think. So, that's an excellent deal. Thanks trust!

[The Mana Knight]

OMG Star Ocean 3 for $39.99 at CC. I'm going there Sunday right when they open.:D. I'm probably going to EB today and get Phantom Brave since they only have two special editions left.

[Final Starman]

Bah, now I wish I had picked up some of those nice rainchecks last week for FFX-2 and GTA double pack.

[danh920]

thanks for the post trust

[SupremeNumNuts]

Time to get Ratchet and Clank GC and Jak II. I guess Kingdom Under Fire for that price is a must buy.

[jimbodan]

I think it's worth saying that the 95% for Kingdom Under Fire is based on one review. So keep that in mind, although I think the game does look good, it might be wise to wait for a couple more review scores.

[Rubberlegs]

Thanx trustcompany. I gonna get Raw (if you haven't seen this you're missing out) and RDR this weekend.

[Cornfedwb]

Wow, looks like CC is going to really help expand my DVD collection this weekend. Thanks for the posts.

[maxflight]

thanks for the post!

damn soul plane is on dvd already? that's how bad the movie is eh? heh

[Cornfedwb]

thanks for the post!

damn soul plane is on dvd already? that's how bad the movie is eh? heh

Did it look like it might not be terrible to anyone? Seriously?

[Derwood43]

Thanks Trust, there are some good deals this week.

I will have to pick up some DVD's at CC.

[Qbe]

Bah, now I wish I had picked up some of those nice rainchecks last week for FFX-2 and GTA double pack.

Star Ocean for $27.99 sounds like a great deal to me ($49.99 - 44% FFX-2 raincheck). Unfortunately the local Target didn't have it yesterday, but I'm going to keep checking until they do.

If only they'd carry Phantom Brave as well...

[bluenatas09]

well hot damn I can finally pick up Socom 2. I was wondering when that was going to drop to Greatest hits...

[thingsfallnapart]

i don't think target will be getting star ocean. Im going on the assumpting because two employees from different stores said they wont get it.

then again, im holding my cards out because they looked over a release list only, and that list had fable for two monthes ago.

Im still betting they get in star ocean tho, its a square enix game, so why not.

rite now im playing threw star ocean 2, wow what a great game. a little hard but fun all over.

[cmdryuk]

Ugh... terrible sale week for video games... 95% of the advertised stuff is either retail price or 1 dollar and change off.... I expected a much better showing for Labor Day week...

[psychobrawler]

KUF hasn't gotten some great hands on reports at IGN. It was said to be playable on LIVE early on, but I don't know if that is still true...

I assume the new releases are "available Thursday" in the ads? Hope Target has Burnout 3 next week. I'm hoping to snag it with a %51 off rain check I've been saving....

[BigBen]

Star Ocean 3 at CC looks nice, probably can get it for $34.99 after GGC (my local CC is pretty good about accepting it). Might pick up Matrix Revolutions for $10, just gotta figure out what other DVD to get with it, maybe Blade 2.

[wubb]

Thanks for the list tc! I don't know how many would have the dedication to keep posting this week after week :)

[magilacudy]

I'm tempted to pick up Kingdom Under Fire. It'll retail for $39 or $49 (?), so $28 isn't that bad.

[SearchX]

I saw Star Ocean: Til the End of Time at my local Target here in Raleigh yesterday.

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for posting. I see alot for me next week. Mostly DVDs and a couple games (Red Dead Revolver and Jak 2).

[chongchoe]

Kingdom Under Fire is the game I'm most looking forward to this year. It is an RTS/RPG. Some of the best information on it is available off of gamespot. Unfortunately, it is not being released until September 20.

[Owen]

I am glad I sold my copy of Socom 2 with the Socom Headset on Ebay last week. With the price drop to $20, the combo probably would not have gone for as much as it did.

[Magician]

I told myself I would pick up Prince of Persia 2 months ago! Still haven't gotten around to it.

I might swing by Best Buy and GGC either Jak II or GC, if they've dropped the price. Wish Target would carry Phantom Brave....

Thanks so much trustcompany!

[doubledown]

Sucks for prices on Clerks X and Rounders SE (not even at Best Buy) both are selling for the normal prices, no sale.

Clerks is $25 on the website too....thus, no sale price. Looks like I will be taking my DVD buying elsewhere.

[MeGaWC27]

Jet-Li: Rise To Honor is a Greatest Hits already?
Just last week it was for 39.99, that's a major price drop. Just wondering if this is true since Circuit City seems to be the only one posting Rise To Honor as a Greatest Hits this week. (uh... next week :D )

[coolz481]

About that Kingdom Under Fire 95% review...it comes from Play magazine, which continues the old DieHard GameFan tradition of giving every single game under the sun at least a B, so I'd be at least a little bit cautious. There are so many great-looking games coming out for Xbox and PS2 over the next few weeks (hell, months) that if you're on a limited budget, I'd wait for more reviews to roll in. Just my two cents.

Also, anyone wanting Burnout 3...EB games (B/M) has a $10 mail-in voucher available with purchase, although it will retail for $49.99.

[shrike4242]

I picked up RDR when it was $49.99, right before it went to $26.88 at Target a couple of weeks ago. PM'd down to $24.57.

Now, if it's down to $19.99 at BB, it should PM down to $19.54.

CC uses the PM'd price from a prior PM as the starting point for a new PM, just in case anyone was wondering.

[trunks982]

i have the FFX-2 raincheck. i wonder if i can use it on GC games and new releases. can i?

[shrike4242]

And, as always, trust, thanks for helping out your fellow CAGers with the inside scoop.

[BustaUppa]

i have the FFX-2 raincheck. i wonder if i can use it on GC games and new releases. can i?You SHOULD be able to use it with no problem. In fact, the last week I had a raincheck for PS2 Red Dead Revolver and I used it for Zelda Four Swords on GC. The cashier was new so a manager had to help him ring it up. The manager took a look at the raincheck, and he wasn't sure if I could use it on a GC game. So at this point I was a little nervous. But when he asked a higher-level manager, that guy was all like "oh yeah, that's fine."

But then again my Target is REALLY good with rainchecks.

And with new releases it should be fine too. Just realize that if the game is on sale, you will take the % off from the NORMAL price, not the sale price.

[Trakan]

I was just going to ask that, about how much would that come out to? I don't really want to use my target raincheck, but I think it'd come out to almost the same using the above method. I was thinking of about 30 bucks.

[Ivanhoe]

Soul Plane DVD is 15.99 in the bestbuy ad.


The only TV deals at bestbuy is no interest for 2 years on ALL HDTV's
AND get reward zone points with purcahse of any TV.

So i guess u just have to use the 10% off laborday weekend coupon.

[sleepyd]

Thanks for the post. For the peeps with the $10 coupon from the latest PC Gamer mag, you should be able to get Doom 3 for $35 at CC.

[schultzed]

i have the FFX-2 raincheck. i wonder if i can use it on GC games and new releases. can i?

I used one to get Pikmin 2 for $27.xx yesterday . . . a Driv3r one would have made it a buck cheaper . . . and they ran out of D3 on Fri. but I was in such a hurry I couldn't wait to get a clerk and missed it :cry:

I also didn't follow my own rule of always having the game sent upfront. I got this older woman clerk who (despite my politeness) is always mean and nasty. So, she rings up the game and I say "I want to do a substitute with this raincheck." She says, "not on this game, you can't!" I just stand there so she calls her manager on the walkie talkie . . . I only hear her side but she's explaining her objections all flustered . . . "blah, blah, but Final Fantasy was $29.99 and this game is $49.99 . . ."

I can tell the manager's side is basically, "is FF still out-of-stock" . . . they don't have it. "Give him the discount" . . . So, she rings it up.

I said "thanks for your help" with a smile and left . . . no gloating.

I didn't know you could have them send it up front....

[PaulEMoz]

Red Dead Revolver, $19.99 at Best Buy!? :shock:

Definitely time to pick up a GGC and get that one, then! :D

[The_Continental]

Does RDR have any live components on x-box?

[TC]

Once again thanks Trust!

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Thanks trust

[Togepy]

Damn, I was hoping for Pokemon FireRed to be $30 or less at BB. I already reserved it there to get some book, so now I have to price match it from CC and get it for $28, instead of the $25 or less after GGC I wanted it for.

[Qbe]

I can tell the manager's side is basically, "is FF still out-of-stock" . . . they don't have it. "Give him the discount" . . . So, she rings it up.

Does the original game still need to be out of stock? I wasn't aware of that wrinkle.

No, because it says right on the rain check that you can substitute a game for a game, but some managers suck and will give you a hard time.

[ChrisXE]

phew Star ocean will be mine at target for the price of 27.99 with my 48% raincheck, and fable also with my raincheck. and what happens if the game is now in stock that u got the raincheck for?

[JEKKI]

[ChrisXE]

Some managers piss me off, sometimes I want to just karate chop them in the throat so they will stop spewing made up rules and guidlines for buying a sale item

*not brave enuff

[nogard]

Wow, something nice this week. Thanks for the info so fast.

[ChrisXE]

Im new to thuis raincheck thing, why have the game sent up front instead of paying for it at the electronics?

[shrike4242]

Im new to thuis raincheck thing, why have the game sent up front instead of paying for it at the electronics?

Some of the people in the electronics section act like asshats when it comes to using the rainchecks for substitutions, especially on sales items. They tend to be a little anal about allowing the substitutions on the rainchecks for different items, even though it's stated plainly in the text of the raincheck.

It's usually easier to send it up front and deal with a "normal" cashier, though the electronics clerks tend to want to know why and give you odd looks. At least, they do around here.

[LinkinPrime]

Does anyone that saw the movie recommend Punisher DVD?

[Ivanhoe]

punisher was horrible
just like the hulk movie.

rent it. dont buy it.

[Mishimaryu]

anyone know when Target will get Star Ocean in? I got a rain check to use.

[Qbe]

Does the original game still need to be out of stock? I wasn't aware of that wrinkle.

No, because it says right on the rain check that you can substitute a game for a game, but some managers suck and will give you a hard time.

Thanks. I've never done the Target raincheck thing before and want to make sure that I know the rules before trying it.

[Edge]

$27.88

Kingdom Under Fire (i've personally never heard of this game, but it already has received a 95% ranking on gamerankings.com)

Woo-****ing-oot! I was planning on getting that game (looks great from the previews), and now it's going to be on sale for $13 less than it's retail price? Even better! Though yeah, I thought the game was delayed...but either way I can just get a raincheck for it. And yes, it's supposed to have full Xbox Live play: up to 4 players total with any combination of teams (including free-for-all or 2vs1), and each player still gets a large army to command. You even gain experience from battles you win online, so it's a bit RPG-ish, too. Anyone who liked Dynasty Warriors at all should check out this game.

But I have a question: if it's not out yet and I get a raincheck for it, can I just use the raincheck on Star Ocean 3 to get it for $27 since it's on sale for $40 this week (same as KUF's normal price)? I'd prefer to get KUF, but SO3 wouldn't be a bad substitute :P (edit: oh wait, SO3 is $40 at CC, not Target...hmm, then that probably wouldn't work...but I guess if nothing else a GTA:DP raincheck would have the same effect, since it's on sale for the same price but retails for the normal $50...of course, what are the chances that Target would be out of GTA:DPs?)

[scsg75]

Can't use raincheck substitutions on items already on sale. So no, you couldn't use a raincheck on top of the sale price for Star Ocean.

Edit- oh yeah, Star Ocean is $40 at CC. Then yes, you could use a raincheck substitute for it at Target.

[Action Jacktion]

I thought about buying Missing at Best Buy for $14.99, but I decided that eventually someone would have it for even less. And now I see that Circuit City will have it for just $9.99. If I did a price match somewhere else, would they lower the price even more? Sometimes they do that if they have a lowest price guarantee.

Looks like $24.99 is the best deal for Clerks, but it is three discs. You can get a signed version for ten dollars more, but I think I'll pass on that.

[cmdryuk]

anyone know when Target will get Star Ocean in? I got a rain check to use.

Target (at least around here) tends to get new releases 2-4 days after street date for everybody else. Some titles take even longer than that. For Star Ocean since it is a Square game, but still a more obscure game, I'd imagine you're looking at about 4 days after your local EB's and Gamestop's get theirs.

[Renzokuken]

Oh man great deals this week. I wonder why they dont release Eddie Murphy's Delirious on dvd.

[ElwoodCuse]

I want Clerks X but I want Burnout 3 more. Too bad there's no deals for it anywhere other than the usual GGC.

[Parathod]

Nothing to get a boner about, but Star Ocean and Chessmaster @CC is looking pretty good. A couple good DVD prices as well.

[zewone]

Damn you TC. I was going to let everyone know today that Socom 2 was GH. Just kidding man thanks for the heads up on Kingdom Under Fire. I can't believe its on sale for that low already. I've been waiting for awhile to play it.

[Final Starman]

I'm all over SO: TTEOT. Price match at BB, with GGC. Oh - so many things to buy, so little money.

GGC with a PM is supposed to be HIGHLY YMMV. (We're talking abou PMing CC and then using the GGC right?) To get it for sure, just take your GGC to your local CC and they should accept the GGC coupon. I just called mine up and they said they would definately accept it.

GGC with a PM is supposed to be HIGHLY YMMV. (We're talking abou PMing CC and then using the GGC right?) To get it for sure, just take your GGC to your local CC and they should accept the GGC coupon. I just called mine up and they said they would definately accept it.

Well that's the most acronyms i've ever seen in one post.

[miriamleo]

1) Harvest moon for GC (25 dollars!) at Target is very good deal, but I already have it.

2) Kingdom Under Fire very good deal, I wish it will get some great reviews.

3) Surprise not many places advertise Pokemon.

[The Successful Dropout]

Oh man great deals this week. I wonder why they dont release Eddie Murphy's Delirious on dvd.

yeah....ive never seen delirious and only hope that it gets released on dvd...i know you can buy vcd's of it off of ebay, but i dont want that crap....as for raw, i watched it on vhs not too long ago and its still one of the best stand-up performances ive ever seen...im happy as shit to see that it finally got transferred over to dvd...

there once was a time that damon wayans was funnier than hell too, and i remember watching a stand-up performance of his a long, long time ago....i have no idea what it was called, but i wish that it would show up again, somewhere, some how

[Vampire Hunter D]

I like that R&C GC is 20. Might get that.

[Murcielago77]

The sale this week is crap to me. Anyone who doesnt have R&C GC better go get it. IMO one of the best PS2 games out there

[alongx]

I need Mystic River and Last Samurai for $20 at CC. I'm also tempted by Equilibrium and American History X for another $20.

[regisphilbi0]

Burnout 3 has a $10 MIR at EBgames? Sweet, I have a $18 GC there from when I traded in some games...

Harvest Moon is at a good price, but Target already had it on sale for the same price about 2 months ago :?

[MadFlava]

I saw that Kingdom Under Fire is advertised at Target this week. I thought that this game doesn't come out until the end of the month. Anyway, it's a good deal since EB has it for $39.99. The KUF is a Dynasty Warriors Type game but IGN's hands-on article is very positive. Game could be a real sleeper hit.

Pre-order info for it on EBGames.com doesn't have it coming out until the 20th:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/243962.asp

Gamestop shows an ETA on it for 11/15/00 :shock: :
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=210626

So I bet they don't have it, and I know I'm going to get this, though it's raincheck time for that one, no question.

They'll probably have some disclaimer at the store that says it's not out and whoops, we messed up.

[Grammaton-Cleric]

Some very good deals.

Red Dead Revolver is a great game and well worth the 20 bucks.

Rise to Honor is also one of the best beat em' ups made this generation.

[shrike4242]

I just hope I can pick it up at BB for $14.99 ($19.99 - $5 GGC), since the copy I bought at CC (which I hadn't opened yet) was $24.57 after PM's, so saving near $10 on it is well worth the hassle of bringing it back.

[Bivensra]

Someone asked about Best Buy having a sale on TV's this weekend. I received 3 coupons that are at least 10% off and have to be used over the weekend for their Labor Day sale. There are some restrictions but they are not too bad.

[hiccupleftovers]

Holy Moly!!! wow there are a lot of great DVD deals this week. thanks again Trust.

I might get

$29.99

Unsolved Mysteries: UFOS (sounds interesting, i'm into all of that alien stuff)

$24.99

Clerks. X

$12.99

Underworld
Star Trek Generations
Resident Evil (w/ free ticket to see RE: Apocalypse)

[Kaijufan]

I see a few CC deals I like, but I cant get because I dont live near one. :(

[Pinnacle]

Kingdom Under Fire for less than 30 dollars is a steal.

Sometimes, yes. Call another Circuit City in your area if you have one.

[el bobo]

Thanks so much! RDR looks like a good buy, and I have to tell my friend R&C2 is $20

[MegaMan3k]

How is Jak2?

I got RC:GC for Christmas and loved it (beat it twice!), but I think that was because of my urge to level up the weapons. o_o;;

Would it be worth it to try and get Jak2 for $15? :-/

On a side note: Back when my computer died 'cause of a virus, all I had to play was copy of Red Dead Revolver I rented. It was rather fun, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. In fact, I'm even thinking about picking it up, despite beating it twice already. ^_^

[Alien Spider]

I personally really like Jak II. It's definitely on the difficult side, but I still think it's a great game. Definitely worth $15-20.

Looks like I'll finally be buying Ratchet & Clank 2. :)

[trunks982]

is it true that if i PM CC paper at BB they wont give 10% off? cause i asked the lady at the cashier.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I think they will only give 10% off after the fact, but I don't have much experience with this.

[FaintDeftone]

Ratchet & Clank will be mine... if I can afford it. I blew 200 bucks Friday and I need to keep back cash for gas and stuff, so I might have to wait until next paycheck.

I can't wait. A new $50 for only $35. I love this site!

:D :D :D

[matyou]

I checked my circuit city ad online at circuit city.com and found no ratchet & Clank or Jak II for 20. I searched different states ads and didn't find it anywhere. These are the games i was looking for but I guess they are not on sale yet from what i've seen. Booo.

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

The online ads are up now... well at least for my zip code, but since I live in cali, I think everyone else should be able to see them now.

[guessed]

I see a few CC deals I like, but I cant get because I dont live near one. :(

Luckily they offer free shipping on orders over $25. I miss free shipping at BB :(

I see them in the online ad, but they haven't adjusted the price on the website yet. I'm sure they will soon.

[Levizk]

Well according to the ad (although i'm going to check anyway) SO3 won't be in CC stores until September 7th. So I guess that may kill a few people's GGC plans for today at least.

[ChrisXE]

holy crap the toys r us I work at had star ocean sicen wed of last week, the packaging caught my attention. If the target ad says star ocean is out now, but they never recieved it, can it be false advertisement? or what can I do?

[Trakan]

Well according to the ad (although i'm going to check anyway) SO3 won't be in CC stores until September 7th. So I guess that may kill a few people's GGC plans for today at least.

Click on the Star Ocean picture in your link. That will bring up details about the game and it says it right on that page. I just did it through the link you provided.

[Trakan]

Hmm, doesn't make sense to me that they wouldn't put that on the actual ad....Usually they do for games that aren't out yet. What makes me even more skeptical is that the game has been out since last Tuesday. Somebody screwing up on the website popped into my head after I saw this too.

PalyStation® 2

[Levizk]

Well I intend to go up there within the next half hour and check. I just tried to call and ask but they transfered me to a line that died after not being answered. Hopefully you're right and they actually have it, but unless you actually saw it on their shelves last week they may be behind on releases.

[Trakan]

Alright, post here when you get back :)

[Levizk]

Alright, post here when you get back :)
Yeah CC had SO3 in stock, but I could only find 4 copies in the store. I don't know wether they have more in the back or if the stores have very limited quantities so you may want to head up as soon as you can depending on how popular that type of game is in your area. Only annoying thing is they stick a big price sticker over the box, but I think it'll peel off without doing any damage.

[masha]

Yup, They had 3 copies behind the glass but they refused to take BB coupon, because their price is lower. :bs:
Oh, well ..I'll try another CC.


..........and thanks trust for keeping it up to date.

[Levizk]

Yeah I can't confirm whether they'll take the GGC either because I just bought it for 39.99. Didn't feel like going through the trouble of stopping at a BB and then arguing over what is already a good enough deal. Plus I don't have another CC very close either.

[scsg75]

I got Star Ocean last Friday at CC. They had them behind the glass only about 5 copies. I bought one early anyway just to be safe, I'll go in tomorrow to price gaurantee it and get my $10 back.

[shibby72]

Anyone able to get raincheck on kuf @ target? ad says no rainchecks even though they have a game in flyer not out yet

I think Star Ocean will drop in price pretty fast as Front Mission 4 did.. it's Phantom Brave disappearing and not being restocked that I'm more afraid of....

[Sulaco22]

I picked up 2 copies of SOCOM II on Saturday for $50 a pop. Does this mean that I am gonna have to wait till Tuesday to get my low price gurantee?

[Briand1987]

Since CC wont have the Socom 2 Greatest Hits till Tuesday, could I take the CC ad to somewhere like BB and show them the price and just get it there for 20? Or will they say no since they dont have the Greatest Hits version?

[Jonny Polychronopoulos]

AD says not in store till Sept 9th- try back then.

[AzianAsspicker]

Looks like I'll be picking up GTA Double pack for xbox or ps2? Any suggestions? And also... is Double pack Platinum or greatest hits?

[Scorch]

XBox. No.

Looks like Red Dead finally took a drop.. might pick that and KUF up, whenever it comes out..

[Final Starman]

w00t! Got my copy of Star Ocean today at CC with the GGC for $35. Using the GGC there worked perfectly,.You may also want to nab the GBA Mario Golf and Mario vs. DK for $20 after GGC as well.

i think some CC dont accept GGC. im not sure, maybe its YMMV. i thought BB pricematch CC paper and get 10%.

[Trakan]

Well, I ended up going to Target instead of CC. I used FFX-2 raincheck and got the game for Star Ocean for 18 bucks. :D I also made a topic about it.

[Benaorn]

Is the normal version of Socom 2 19.99 too or only the greastest hit version?

[Kaijufan]

I see a few CC deals I like, but I cant get because I dont live near one. :(

Do they even do the X DVDs for $XX on their website?

Both should ring up at 20 bucks.

The Target I went to had a little piece of paper sticking on the glass saying that the game would not make the date advertised, and because they did not have the new release date, they would not be issuing rainchecks for it....or that's what I could have sworn I read.

how did u make it 18bucks? FFX-2 is 44% off. star ocean is 49.99 after the 44%off its 27.99.

I think they'll advertise it again when released, but if not, that really sucks for people who wanted to get it this weekend... :(

[Maynard]

you guys are crazy i already have Kingdom under fire (mod chip) for my xbox and i'm about half way through this game is Fing amazing. Imagine Dynasty Warriors, only beautiful, and you can upgrade everything about your entire army, from weapons, armor, skills, special moves, etc etc. Its awesome and it's worth every penny i can't believe they're releasing it so fing cheap! I called today to verify that was right, AND ITS SUPPORTS XBOX LIVE SO WE CAN TEAM UP AND FIGHT ARMIES WOOT?!?


meynerd

[Edge]

Damn, if they seriously don't give rainchecks out for KUF then that sucks horribly...in fact that may be boarderline false advertising.

[Gothic Walrus]

Damn, if they seriously don't give rainchecks out for KUF then that sucks horribly...in fact that may be boarderline false advertising.

How? The store can't be held accountable if the manufacturer hasn't released the product yet, or at least not by any rule or law I've seen before. Since it's not their fault that they don't have the game, it also follows that they aren't required to honor the price of the merchandise they haven't recieved.

[Edge]

Well the problem would be that they're not offering rainchecks for an item even though they advertised it for a certain price. Manufacturer delay or not, I think the law says that if they advertise something for a certain price, they are required to either sell it at that price or give out rainchecks if it's not availible (if they put Half-life 2 in their ad for next week and list it for $5, they can't just say that since it's delayed they aren't required to honor it). However if they put a "quantities limited" then they may be exempt from that law...although usually "limited" doesn't mean "none"...

Of course, if they'd just offer rainchecks on it this whole issue could be avoided, since they fully intended to sell it at that price there's no reason they shouldn't be.

[Trakan]

Wonder if Target will let me pay for it in full at that price for KUF, then just pick up later in the month

Weird how CircuitCity's site still sells the game for 39.99.

[chaedog]

The target near me (Traverse City) is sold out of Halo and since it was on sale they are now offering Ninja Gaiden for $41 instead of $49.95


Best Buy in T.C. left its old sales flyer in its xbox section and I was able to nab Star Wars KOTOR for $14.99

[Hush]

I was able to go to CC and snag a non-GH version of Socom II for 19.99. Although I went to a couple other stores first and it seems like everyone else is way behind on this price drop.

[jt2k3]

Gamestop is doing the drops on the 4 ps2 games, we have signage up and everything.
