[Flushola]

Some categories went to 40% today. MP3 accessories is the only one I know of so far.

what where video games and systems? 20% off?

[oasisboy]

I work at the York store in PA and can confirm we're moving up to 20% off as well.

I don't want to sound like an ass, but let me know when cds, movies and games get to to 40% off.

Some cds at 30% off are still more expensive than as compared to amazon.com

[wildnuts02]

anyone know how much CoD 4: GOTY edition retails at CC? i saw one behind the glass case and of course no one could open it. i left because i didn't want to have to look for a manager. thanks.

$59.99

[sunnysky]

Todays TV commercial noted.
25% off CDs and Movies
40% off Car electronics
I don't remember the rest.

[wildnuts02]

$59.99

hmm...that's odd b/c the copy i saw had a $59.99 tag AND a $39.99 tag. i was hoping that would scan even lower...

[shieryda]

hmm...that's odd b/c the copy i saw had a $59.99 tag AND a $39.99 tag. i was hoping that would scan even lower...

Then they should sell it to you for $39.99 (or lower).

[Wolfpup]

Crud. 20% off all games means I guess I have to check it out. Of course there's probably nothing left, thanks to idiots buying up stuff at 10% off, which is more than they could have gotten it elseware.

At least this gives me an excuse to finally pick up Sins of a Solar Empire from Target since they're near each other.

Forgot to ask-does this 20% thing cover PC games too? What about Blu Rays? (Though their selection was terrible...)

[buster90]

It will take about a month and a half to reach 40% off. When it at a CC that closed earlier there will still a TON of games left (Fable 2, Fallout 3, etc). THis was back in December too.

[skefresh@yahoo.com]

I checked all of the ms points, And they are a nickel off. And the psn card stayed at regular retail price. We had 360s and ds left for 20 percent off that's not bad :)

[Wolfpup]

You're saying systems are 20% off now? Hmm...maybe I could get one for a friend.

[adawg555]

So, can CC still activate the 360 points cards or should I not bother risking it? I see a few posts here saying the cards aren't being activated and some saying they are working fine.

[jwbrown77]

Any card that has to be activated by the teller won't work.

The cards that are in plastic clamshell packaging are already activated and will work. Most stores are selling them 30% off (I got two), but some are reporting their stores are selling them at full price. You have to check your store.

[dabamus]

This might be a dumb question but could you take the card to another store (Best Buy, Target, etc.) and have them activate it for you?

That's actually what I was thinking. I was planning on trying that when I go shopping tomorrow for my birthday.

[Wolfpup]

That's actually what I was thinking. I was planning on trying that when I go shopping tomorrow for my birthday.

As has already been said, that won't work. If you can't return the cards to Circuit City afterwords, you'll be out of money.

[outofthepark44]

Still no clear update on what the percentages for the gaming accessories are at today?

[Jello4250]

Game Accessories at 30%
Game Consoles are at 10%
PC and Console Games at 20%
CD/DVD at 25%

Confirmed in Dorchester, MA

[GM80]

My local CC got a restock of the clamshell XBLA 1600 Points cards today. They had about 30 @ $13.99 each (after 30% off).

[safire]

Thanks. Unfortunately, unless you're buying something brand brand new (or NHL 2009 which I can't find for cheaper than full msrp), not worthwhile. Just the same, I"ll stop by my CC to see about some PS2 games.

[J Bling Blang]

Some categories went to 40% today. MP3 accessories is the only one I know of so far.

By chance, how much perecent off are the mp3 players? Still at 10%?

[Otogi Ninja]

I went to my local store to see if the games were 20% off and when I got there, I only saw a sign of 20% off of social games. I thought they only meant social by games like family games or those lame rythm causal games like rock band/guitar hero games.

Last time I was there( last week), I was gonna buy Oblivion GOTY for 360 (was $29.99 - ONLY 2 left) but held off. I wanted it to go lower. Until today, I only saw one of them left, so I took it and went to the strategy guide section which has 40% off. I got myself Fallout 3 LE guide ($34.99) & Oblivion GOTY guide ($24.99).

I went to the cashier and I noticed that Oblivion GOTY which was $30 came out to $23.99. So I thought maybe the game just cost cheaper. Once I got in my car, I whipped out my trusty calculator and did the math. AND YUP, they knocked off %20 off. SO there you have it, GAMES ARE NOW %20 OFF! GO GO GO!!!

All in all, I got:

Oblivion GOTY (360) for $23.99
Oblivion GOTY Guide for $14.99
Fallout 3 LE Guide for $20.99

Not bad at all!

[FoxHoundADAM]

Fallout 3 LE Guide for $20.99

Not bad at all!
I've hidden a couple coppies of the LE Fallout 3 guide. I hope they last till it's 50% off. Otherwise it's still too much for my taste.

[RatedRSuperstar]

All game consoles at my store are now 20% off. 80 bucks off an Elite or 80gb ps3 is a pretty good deal.

And I picked up Fallout 3 CE for 50 today.

[bones56]

I will have to stop by on my way home today!!

[guardkitty]

grr still awaiting accessories to drop ten more percent..... lol

[dallow]

Glad you don't live around here because that's the guide I'm looking for.

[Otogi Ninja]

You know, am tempt to go back and pick up Saints Row 2 LE, but the game cost $80. I hope the game is still there when it hits 40% off. I might go for it if it's 30% off but I don't know since I'll save about close to $20. Only one left, sadly...

[RMThompson]

Anyone know the OTHER discounts? TVs? Computers?

[WTFer]

Anyone know the OTHER discounts? TVs? Computers?

Sure as hell isn't TVs. I checked the prices & everything was a few hundred more than what is on Amazon.

[Estebon]

I passed by and the 1600 MS points card is still only 30% off. Burbank IL, just south of chicago

[Cloggerdude]

My store has a buttload of Wii's in stock for $199.99 after the discount. I'm probably going to take mine back to Target and rebuy it there.

[RelentlessRolento]

do they carry playstation network cards?

[bornrunnin31]

do they carry playstation network cards?

They do, but as stated previously in the thread the cashiers cannot activate them, so do not purchase them because you will be out $20 regardless of what the cashier tells you.

[belal.rawi]

Anyone know the OTHER discounts? TVs? Computers?

Actually today I saw a Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV for $909 after 20% off. Thats not bad, since Amazon has it for over $100 more. But I guess you gotta pay that in tax. Still weird since all other tvs are $400 more than Amazon.

For all the stupid people who stripped all the TVs for 10% off, now they're 20% off. Why cant you just wait? Fools.

Games and now 20% off. Waiting for +50%.

The reason it is cheap is because it's a SAMSUNG!

Also, people wonder why the state and city govts are in such a financial crisis. It's because we are all trying to dodge sales tax. If you can get a deal locally that's within $5-$10 difference out the door on a big ticket item, it may serve you better to buy local.

Silly me, I thought it was because they were spending more than they were taking in. Heaven forbid they cut back on spending!

Sometimes I avoid sales tax purely on principle 8-)

[fuzzyfuk]

You guys are all lucky, all the circuit city stores in AZ shut down last year.

[mxmarks]

What do rock band instruments fall under? They were listed at 10% last time I was in there. I'd love to grab the bass.

Samsung's TVs have ranked higher than Sony in overall value and quality according to consumer digest. Just go to your local Barnes and Noble, grab the magazine and look at the TV rankings.

2. Or with those $5-10 that you can save by buying online, you can go to your locally owned restaurant and help them stay in business.

[bones56]

just got back my Circuit City (LI NY) 10 to 40% off) 10% mainly on computers and monitors/TV's/Camcorders. 20% on blu ray and dvd movies. The only thing i saw 40% on was portable ipod/iphone speaker sets. I am tempted to pull the trigger on a sony player for my wife's iphone. 149.99 reg down to 89.99 (The cheapest i was able to find this on the internet was 114 shipped). Ultimately the prices are still kind of high.

[Thedrknss48]

Fallout 3 LE Guide for $20.99


I also got the Fallout 3 LE guide for 20.99 at the Buena Park CC; last one too! Games were 20% off as well, accessories varied from 10-30%. The Fullerton CC had 30% off accessories and 20% off games. I'm waiting for a bigger price drop for a Dualshock 3 controller since I can find it 30% off online with free shipping easily.

[azeru]

As of about 2pm PST, the Clairemont store in San Diego had one Xbox 360 60GB HD kit (hard drive, headset, 3-month Live subscription) for 30% off - about $70 before taxes.

I also spotted several pennied guides, like Tomb Raider Anniversary, Splinter Cell Double Agent, etc.

[Squall_L_FF8]

At the Boynton Beach, FL store, DVDs and Blu-rays were 25% off, Games 20%, game accessories 30%, game guides 40%, TVs 20%. I almost bought a Dual Shock 3 as well, but seeing that they had so many, I am going to give it a few weeks.

[safire]

At Fairfax Town Center, VA new games were 10% while older titles 20%, though i'm not sure where they draw the line. I considered NHL 2009 (assuming it would come out to $48) but decided against.

[DKYang]

Just saw the commercial again for the Tampa Bay area.

25% off plasmas
20% off cameras
25% off dvds
40% off car audio

I don't know if all of the CC here are being controlled by the same company so who knows if it's all the same. Gonna go check it out tomorrow.

[fullhavok]

still only 10% in Miami, Fl on video games & accessories. that sucks. im still waiting

[FuelDigga]

hmm i'm in central florida, i hope 40% audio made it over this way too, there's some speakers i've had my eye on and i would bite at 40% for sure.

[Korben]

Anyone come across any good deals on printers or ink for that matter?

good call since it will be $5 in a couple months I'm sure.

[dpb6058]

Jacksonville, FL. CC is down to 25% off movies, and 20% on games, still have some decent games left. All PS3's and 360s are gone though

[Rig]

I saw the same commercial for Central Illinois. It was on a Peoria/Bloomington station, so I imagine it's mainly for those areas. I have been ready to get a plasma, but I have a feeling it won't be worth the drive for me.

I need rock band 2 drums..anyone see how much of a discount they were?

[dabamus]

Quick question: has anyone seen any iHome Zune alarm clocks?

I'm going shopping tomorrow at a mall with a CC for my birthday, and I'd like to know if there's any hope of finding one. :)

[bill123]

the rockband stuff falls under social gaming and thats at 20% off. The bass is 69.99 and the drums are 29.99- 89.99 depending on which ones your after.
edit: ive seen the zune speakers at my store they were 99 but we got them in only a couple of times good luck

[superdry]

Has anyone been able to buy Wii's at CC? I've noticed, for some reason, two CC's I've been too still have Wii's in stock at clearance price. I'd figured they would've been sold out already.

When I went there on the day the liquidation started, it was 20% off all games, but I don't think the liquidators were there yet. I guess the liquidators are being more stingy. I got 20% off sale prices too.

[Zippon]

Games still at 10% here in central Texas. I did see them preparing signs behind the counter for the next round of discounts, though. I asked if those were going into effect tonight or tomorrow, but the employees did not know.

All other discounts still the same (20% off movies, 30% off gaming accessories, etc).

The Northtown Circuit City in Minnesota had Wiis at 10% off yesterday. They were just delivered that afternoon. I assume these were items that were ordered before the bankruptcy (they had some new release DVDs as well) or stuff that was waiting in the warehouse to be issued.

I was at the CC in Arlington, TX today. They had about 30 1600pts cards in clam shell at the register. I bought 2 :).

Games were 20% off. I price-checked RSV2 Limited (360 $31) and Ace Combat 6 (360 about $20).

[viggyeld235]

Santa Cruz, CA store is now at 20% off with a whole eighth of a row display of 1600 Xbox point cards in the clamshell. Bought a few more guides and found the last copy of Fable: The Lost Chapters there as well. Still not that great but they are getting there for sure.

The store is semi-picked over but there is still a good selection at the moment.

[stewie75]

snagged a wiimote for $28, not the best but also not too shabbay..

[darkpice]

found another copy of Nintendo Wii Karaoke Revolution American idol Encore for $34. thats going on the flee-bay.

"Social gaming" is the most ridiculous genre ever conceived by marketers.

[Ronin317]

Checked out a CC near me, and they supposedly got in 36 :ps3: Systems this morning...and they're currently 20% off. A little prodding, and the CS manager told me "we are getting more next week too, so if you want one, I'd wait 8 days. Trust me, 8 days." If they hit 30% next Friday, I'm all over a :ps3: at $298 out the door, or $314 with a blu remote...

[ironman206]

Just got back from CC and bought a few 1600 pt MS cards for 14 each. Is that a good deal or did I get caught up in the craze?

Also, game guides were 40% off so so the Fallout 3 one was 15? Should I have snagged it or wait it out? 2 left. thx.

I bought two @ 14 each. That's 30% off. Considering they don't go on sale, it's a pretty good deal.

I decided I'd wait and see if they'd go deeper. If so I'll probably pick up some more.

[speedrunner17]

So gaming consoles are 20% off now? And you think that they could be 30% off in a couple weeks? That would be great to get a 360. There is tons of em at my CC, and I dont think they are goin to be selling that many in the near future.

[jalopez86]

Any word about percent off in Chicago? I went last weekend and it was awful. Complete waste of time.

[GIDoty]

How much do you guys think a PS2 will drop down to?

[BShea]

Once gaming systems drop down to 30% off, PS3 here I come.

[msajeff]

Jalopez, downstate the next round of discounts took effect today. At this point it's hit or miss whether it's worth the trouble. I'd say the next round of cuts will be the sweetspot as far as availability of items/price. I picked up a DC adaptor and case out the door for $21 tonight. It appears that they have pulled all of the point cards.

[CaoPi]

seems they got a restock on 360 WIFI adapters here for 60.XX after all discounts, all game consoles were 10% off and 20% off games

[Zippon]

The one in Round Rock has games at 20%.

Sounds like our store is just a bit slower than the rest of the state. Heh.

This was in San Antonio. I'll probably check back this weekend just for grins.

[One4Deuce]

How are all you guys still finding the 1600 point cards? Anyone will to give me a code via e-mail for $15??? Just to be a good person :)

[gantt]

File under the "sucker born every minute" category:

Media reports say they've sold 25% of the $1.8 billion inventory, and at least one of the liquidators claims they'll be done in half the time originally anticipated.

I'm a bit skeptical, seeing that they've increased the discounts and it's not even been two weeks yet.

[VipFREAK]

I went to the CC on Steven's Creek, CA. and was surprised to find a lot more inventory there than I was expecting. They had stuff for 20% and 30%, but nothing was really worth getting still. DS3 were $38 though.

[CalamityX1]

DS3 were $38 though.Funny, I was just there earlier. I noticed they ran out of 360s. If they had any for 30% or more off, I'd buy it.

[VipFREAK]

I really would've been buying something just to buy something so I just left...

[gantt]

I went to the CC on Steven's Creek, CA. and was surprised to find a lot more inventory there than I was expecting.

Keep in mind that in addition to the stores' original inventory there are nine distribution centers to empty out, so some stuff may be restocked.

[jkanownik]

"Social gaming" is the most ridiculous genre ever conceived by marketers.

I don't think it was conceived by marketers. I'm pretty sure it was conceived after the fact when many retailers tried to figure out where they were going to put all this big plastic crap (much like many of us with our living rooms).

[FoxHoundADAM]

How are all you guys still finding the 1600 point cards? Anyone will to give me a code via e-mail for $15??? Just to be a good person :)
They still have about 6 at my store. I'd buy more but I'm u to over 4,000 and it'll take me a while to go through that.

Also they ring up $15.18 with tax for me.

[EvilIA]

Mine hasn't been restocked, and likely never will. The only system I would get @20% is a NDS. But those sold out weeks ago. No, and I mean no, 360 Accessories, period. I wanted Points cards, but can't find them at either CC near me.

If the PS2's hold out to 30% I'll get one for keeping.

Only last thing worth while is a TomTom, but going to need to be +50% for that.

[sevin300zx]

Does anyone know if you can use CC rewards coupons still?

I have a 10$ coupon that i didn't know about until i paid my bill the other day.

[bri637]

I think the CC website's FAQ section claims that rewards coupons are still accepted:

[Flushola]

Found out today that the goal of the distribution centers is to ship out as possible in the least amount of trips possible. I'm at a busy store and was told that we might see one more decent-sized truck, I'm very interested to see if that happens, and what items will be on it.

[Orrimarrko]

Picked up 3 (360) 1600 points cards at $13.99 plus tax.

Figured it was a good deal.

At the moment though, there isn't much for me to spend them on.

[Shimrra]

Came back from the CC near whitestone NY. They are pretty much stocked up on all the major video games 20% off now. There TVs and good chunk of computer hardware are all gone. They have alot of open computers and laptops still on sale for 10% off. I might go back next week and pick up a laptop for my girl.

[Wolfpup]

I just don't get that with the computers. They've never had much selection, and their prices are bad, even at 10% off. I mean forget the internet even, you can walk into a Best Buy across the street and pick up far more powerful laptops for the same prices or less. (Think Gateway FX, Toshiba, Asus, etc., none of which Circuit City carries.)

My Circuit City didn't even have any decent NETBOOKS of all things! Some weird off brand thing, something else kind of lame, and an expensive but decent looking HP that unfortunately used florescent lighting.

[Vegan]

This has got to be the longest thread for the worst "deal" ever.

[superaven]

This has got to be the longest thread for the worst "deal" ever.

I wouldn't go that far. The MS 1600 point cards for $13.99 is the best deal I've ever seen for them. I also picked up an RB2 Wireless Guitar (360) for $55.

I do agree the general percent off isn't fantastic, but if you hunt you'll find the gems. And isn't that what CAG is all about?

[PopcornBandit]

I haven't been to my CC since the day the liquidation started. I may swing by there tomorrow just to check things out.

[jeff429v]

Just came back from CC, here in Columbia,MO. Almost everything is 20% off. I bought, wireless GH guitar, worldtour, forza2, supreme commander (pc) for only like 70$

I didn't see any point cards for xbox :cry:


ALSO. PS3 80GIG 215$ and XBOX360 180$

have to pick up a ps3

cmon now dude do the math 20% off a ps3 which is 400$ is only 80$

just a bit of advise for anyone thats planning on buying a console from fuck city make sure u open the box and check the contents first

[Wavedash]

Midtown Miami CC is now 20% on games and 30% on accessories.

[Ryuukishi]

Took another swing by the St. Peters, Missouri store. Games are 20% and accessories are 30%. The clearance bin was gone though, with no trace of the old clearance games. They may have been reintegrated into the regular games section but I couldn't find a copy of Sega Genesis Collection for PS2 that I'd had my eye on earlier.

The most interesting things I saw were a copy of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift marked at $39.99-- minus 20% seemed like a pretty good deal for such a new game. I don't have a PS3 though. :P Also a whole slew of Wii Classic Controllers that I didn't remember seeing last time. The only console I saw in the store was-- go figure-- a silver GameCube, in the most beat up disgusting looking box ever (seemed like the 'Cube itself was fine inside though). There was no price tag on it.

Columbia SC Harbison store still had all games mark 10% off, no good deals yet. Someone went in and bought the overpriced harddrives, and most other components except for a few Antec 500 watt PSU marked at 79 dollars HA HA HA HA HA HA

They have sold all the 360 Guitar Hero World tours at 151 and saw a few world tour guitar packages for 79 dollars.

Civilization Chronicles/anthology was 54 before 10%, Spores and other games still marked to high, Crysis was still 39.99 LOL.

[slowdive21]

I am not sure if you guys experienced this, but my CC is cutting out the UPCs on all the products. They cut the shrinkwrap and cut out the entire upc on games DVDs and guides.

[derspiess]

I went back last night & picked up Just Cause for $10 and MOH Airborne for $16. Glad I picked up the 60gb hard drive pack and 1600 point cards last Friday, because the accessories section was picked clean last night.

I didn't see a sign does anyone know what the Component device Controllers % off is? I am speaking of Controllers like Logitech Harmony Multi-Device that start around 100$ or so.

[greyzieoriental]

went there looking for a Wii Classic controller, no luck.
At least I was able to find karaoke revolution american idol encore for $34.xx after taxes

maybe I'll check another CC tomorrow.
and the store was pretty empty electronic wise. Plenty of games though, none that I would pick up for the price even with the discount.

10% off, and they're either full MSRP or marked up quite a bit.

[donssword]

I am not sure if you guys experienced this, but my CC is cutting out the UPCs on all the products. They cut the shrinkwrap and cut out the entire upc on games DVDs and guides.

That's likely illegal.

Someone else jump in if I am wrong, but I believe they can return the cut UPC codes to the manufacturers for refunds, and report the merchandise as destroyed.

That could also be a challenge for dealing with manufacturer warrenties, which the clearance companies are heavily promoting in these sales.

I have not seen that at any of the CC's here in Richmond.

[dagarcia2678]

Just got back from the Albuquerque West Side store. They had a bunch of Wii's behind the customer service counter. They are ringing up as 20% of (209.xx after tax).

North Richland Hills, Tx Circuit City has 20+ xbox live 1600 point cards @ $13.99 and about 5 wii 2000 point cards @ $13.99. Also a few 1st party xbox 360 controllers @ 30% off. The cashier said they just got them restocked today.

You might want to check in every so often since the liquidator will reduce items that they have in bulk and are not selling as well at a greater percentage than posted. It all varies by inventory and frequency in sales, but the liquidator wants that item to move even if it doesn't follow the current percentage.

20% LCD TVs
Up to 40% Mobile Audio
20% Digital Cameras, Home Audio, GPS, Computer peripherals/accessories

Everything is picked through (ie. in shambles)... still not pulling the trigger. Lots of XBOX controllers on one end cap. Red shirts walking around like zombies. They are bumming.

Did pick up some guides tho....

If you use some really bad math in your head and have a brain fart thinking that the wii is 299 original, then it is 30%. Otherwise it is just 20% off. I fixed my post. Thanks

[Sidewayz]

just got back from circuit city, the place looks horrible but they still have tons of games, dvds and cds...its the TVS that people seem to go after first. The prices still suck, but the video game guides were 40% off so at least they aren't doing everything wrong.

[Bstiff]

still nothing at clearwater. Had a 50" plasma samsung for like 1800 after 25% off but still seemed a little high. Seems best buy has the same one on sale for 1499.

Another WTF moment: game accessories are now 20% off at my CC though they were 30% off last week. Also new release games are 20% off but "library games" are 25%. Of course there's no indication of what counts as new release. Doesn't really matter to me since there aren't any games left that I'm interested in, unless I break down and buy a 360. I'm trying to hold out for 30% off consoles; my store has a shit ton of 360 Pros.

Same pricing at the Moreno Valley/Riverside, store. Although there was still a bit left, good stock of 360 and PS3 consoles and 360 controllers. I'm fighting the urge to pick up a 80gb PS3 at 20% off.

Same as mine, there is a ton of 360's. No one is really buying consoles just the accessories. For some odd reason people bought up all the computers thinking they were getting a deal. Any way Im waiting for 360's to drop to 30% off.

[rpgamer92]

Yea probaly not. They could all be gone. Funny thing is people are buying them up. I'm like you could get that same tv at Best Buy for $500 less idiots. People see sale and they act like they've lost their damn minds. Some of em probaly were at BB a week ago and didnt even realize or care to realize that they had seen certain items for cheaper. I guess fools will be fools.:lol:

[BelieveTheHype]

Yea I wouldnt touch a tv at CC.

Why not?

I bought my 32" Samsung LN-T3253H LCD from there about a year ago or so. No problems whatsoever. Good price too. I love that TV. Was on sale, and was able to use that $40 off $200+ coupon, too.

If only they didn't jack up the prices on everything because of this liquidation...maybe...just maybe I'd get the 42" Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U Plasma for my gf's place.

I ended up buying a PS3 for $320. This will allow me to sell my 360, which I don't play too often, before my live account ends.

By chance, did anybody see the % off for mp3 players? I forgot if it was 10% or 20%. Thanks.

[aznguyen316]

yeah I was there today and saw a woman buy a PS3 for that price 80gb, nice. BTW good choice LOL on getting the PS3. Just in time for Killzone 2 I might add. Games were 20% I didn't see mp3 players. I picked up the orange box for PC for $23

[ryheeles]

finally broke down and got that ps3 bluetooth headset. haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but $35 isn't too bad from what I've seen

[Gosha]

Went out and bought Rock Band track pack vol 2 for 360 and a PS3 memory card adapter. Theres a bunch of DS games I wouldn't mind getting, but I can wait until like 50% hits.

Ok, so where is CC getting the money to promote this on TV? Left over money from the Ad department?

Anyways, does anyone know how much the those people that are standing outside with the signs are getting paid an hour?

[JCNY23]

Hardly any accessories at my local CC and no systems except 2 PSP 2000's. Just some assorted cables for all 3 systems, 1month Live cards and live cameras. I haven't been there in 2 weeks waiting for better savings, but I think that they must packed up stuff and sent it stores that are selling. Also, a couple 32" tvs were left, other than that its either 50" or bigger and a bunch of 26" tvs are left at the store.

[Sharp Katana]

my CC looks like that but with Wii items :(

I'm a little disappointed for not grabbing any time cards. Over the weekend they were cleaned out. They did however replenish the shelves with pt cards. I'm still waiting for them to dip below 30% off.

[mrjelloman]

Found only 1 1600 point card at 30%, also picked up the XBox360 RB2 drumset and 2 cymbal pack for 20% off. Haven't really seen them cheaper elsewhere, so decent deal. A Ps3 sounds like an idea, but doubt any will have them left.

[dennisb407]

No Wii Points here, they had one 360 Arcade system for 20% off. I won't be back there for awhile.

[dabamus]

I just picked up a Sandisk CompactFlash Extreme III 2GB memory card for my camera, a Zune sync cable(all I had was a dock), a stack of burnable CDs, and a 4GB Sandisk flash drive for a little under $60!

[dabamus]

Oh, they let me return the 800 points card that they couldn't activate. They seemed to be aware of the problem at the store I went to today.

They didn't cut the UPC codes off, but they scratched them out with a Sharpie when I bought them. The guy said the manager told them to do it so that the items couldn't be returned to Best Buy or something.

[DKYang]

Ask the liquidation company. CC is not in control of it's stores, prices, ads, or anything related to them anymore.

All the accessories are pretty much gone at my store. The only thing left in the PS3 section is the bluetooth headset and a crappy RF wireless controller. Surprisingly there are still some good games left that I'm interested in once 40% or more hits.

I found NBA Ballers and some other crappy game behind the strategy guides. I lol'ed and then just left it in front for anyone to grab.

[guardkitty]

I went tonight to the CC and picked up more points cards , I did notice there was 6 60gb hds for the 360 and tons of the wireless adapters left. I'm still deciding if i need the wireless or will upgrade the hd (have to research where to get a transfer cable), both were 69.99 each.

[Demolition Man]

The liquidator company is doing the ads at this point.

Got some deals today at the Roanoke, VA store. It was my first trip there as it is 45 minutes away and didn't expect to find much. I only looked at games and very quickly as I was passing through on my way out of town and my fiance who was with me had to be somewhere. I'll probably stop at the CC here tomorrow and maybe hit some CC's off interstate on the way back.

Deals I got after 20% off:
Wii Fit: $71.99
Guitar Hero On Tour (w/ guitar grip) for DS $27.99
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for DS $15.99

Guitar Hero On Tour w/ guitar grip was marked at retail but I was happy to see it rang up at the retail price of the game itself - 20% of that. As usual with CC, I wish they marked stuff with up to date prices or had a price scanner on the floor. I bet they have quite a few great deals out there that just aren't marked right :(

[Josef]

So I inquired about Wiis today and the CSR said they had them in stock, but weren't able to sell them until Sunday. I questioned why and she stated something to the effect that even though CC is going out of business Nintendo still controls when they can put the Wiis up for sale. Any truth to this or total bull? She did confirm the price would be $199.99 after 20% off.

[YoshiFan1]

I wonder why Nintendo would care, especially it's not like they can do anything about it since in a few weeks CC won't exicst anymore.

[Wolfpup]

Sounds SORT of plausible, except what are they going to do? Without Circuit City's shipments? :D

(Well, technically maybe they still want them to drive more people in, who knows)

Complete bull. I work at one and the rule is if its in the back its good to go to the floor to be sold. I'd say go back in tomorrow and just ask for one there is no rule.

The CC at SanPatricio has games at 20 percent off, but music games GHWT/Rock Band bundles at 10 percent off. Sigh.

[ironman206]

Just came back from CC and they must have restocked since I was there last... They had at least 100 1600 pt MS cards (13.99) and around 60 Dual Shock 3's (34.99 i think).

[rickyff7]

El Paso, TX (1313 D George Dieter Drive) Are still full of xbox pt cards (in shell) and other accessories. The only thing they dont have is any $20 games.

[dabamus]

Could someone pick up a 1600 Xbox points card for me? I'd paypal you $15 for the code!

I got the 800 one like I said earlier in the thread, but they couldn't activate it so they had to refund me. :(

[guardkitty]

To clarify my post, this evening in Boise, ID CC, there was about 6 60gb hds, tons of wireless adapter cards and about 20 or so 1600 point cards. games were 20 percent off, accessories, 30% off, and the other discounts the same as the other stores. I did notice tons of Canon XSI in the case going for about 635 (20 percent off) which makes it the same price as amazon

[tubby34]

Care to let us know where this might be at? I went to the one in Silverdale wednesday and it was empty. I suspect the slow stores won't get more merchandise. I would like points and the 60gb, but if I don't then so be it. Oh and another DS3, the sixaxis my wife uses sticks badly I can't play SSHD anymore.

I think all of that is 30% off, if I'm not mistaken ... at least it should be if the the 4 liquidation companies are in cahoots. You could probably make a nice profit off all those wireless adapters ...

Its true. Free isnt always better. While I myself havent used the ps3's online service Ive heard only negatives about it. I still want to get one. But I'm not spending $400 for one.

My CC was clearly restocked with Live and Points cards.
I'd be tempted by the Points cards, but I'm still spoiled and stocked up from Target last year. Thank you, Bullseye!

PS3's PSN has never given me any problems, so I don't see where your unfounded argument comes from. Perhaps a few examples could detail your concern. Either way, why does it matter if some one else wants to buy a PS3? Does it affect you? Is it any of your business? Please be considerate and not pass judgment on people's purchasing decisions.

Oh and I forgot to mention that your post has nothing to do with this thread. Come to think of it, neither does this response to your brief PS3 bash session.

Back to the subject, does anyone know if gift cards are still accepted? Much thanks in advance!

[gantt]

does anyone know if gift cards are still accepted? Much thanks in advance!

They should be accepting them. Check the FAQ on the CC website. I suggest printing out the relevant parts and taking it with you to the store. Although liquidators run the show now, I think presenting the official line from CC will carry a bit more weight than "well, on CAG they said you still take them!"

And going from a 360 to a PS3 is like going from a ford pinto to a mercedes benz. I'm sure it's only coincidence that all my friends have had their systems break at least three times with the highest record being eight on one person.

And you spelled defense wrong. But there's a reason people say that the 360 is the domain of the ignorant serfs.

I consider the PS3 more of a DeLorean... it's neat... but wtf? I have a 360 and a PS3 and I also prefer LIVE.

Melbourne store seems to have the same discounts as when the 'blow out/everything must go' sale started.

That's rather unfair. A Delorean is experimental new tech that may or may not work. The PS3 is established tech with a high stability rating. I just hooked up a one terabyte hard drive to this thing along with the internal 320 gb hard drive. It's got about 200 movies inside it already, it's got about 60-70 DLC games on it and I have linux incase my laptop is broken. It's also fully BC with a freakishly huge library. All the features, all the luxury and all that laziness and it's quiet. Now that's what makes it so damn fun.

Although liquidators run the show now, I think presenting the official line from CC will carry a bit more weight than "well, on CAG they said you still take them!"

Ah, thanks for the input, I'll do just that! :D

[flatliner718]

My CC was clearly restocked with Live and Points cards.
I'd be tempted by the Points cards, but I'm still spoiled and stocked up from Target last year. Thank you, Bullseye!

I've seen 360s and PS3s but no PS2s. Last gen is dead. Long live last gen!


That photo reminds me of that Gamestop commercial with the scrolling platformer, where the character digs down and finds a cavern full of coin and exclaims, "HOLY ****!"
I'm kinda hoping that's true, because i'll definitely swing in again for that, because I wanna raise my points so i can get a lot downloadable content for almost half the price.

[Grinchy]

The CC liquidation thread seems like a dumb place to have a console argument, but just to throw in a couple cents:

As an owner of a 360 and PS3, I can attest that the complaints about PS3's online service are greatly exaggerated, and seem to come mostly from people who don't even own a PS3.

[hostyl1]

That's rather unfair. A Delorean is experimental new tech that may or may not work. The PS3 is established tech with a high stability rating.

I'm sorry but are you saying that "Blu-Ray" and the "Cell" processor are established tech? Sure, they may work *now*, but when the decision was made to put these in the PS3, they absolutely were 'experimental'. Especially in the case of Blu-Ray, no one was sure that format would win out.

[spiderdog]

I got a 60gb 360 hdd for 69.99 and official Microsoft 360 FF Racing wheel for 37.00 last night!!

[help1]

And going from a 360 to a PS3 is like going from a ford pinto to a mercedes benz. I'm sure it's only coincidence that all my friends have had their systems break at least three times with the highest record being eight on one person.

And you spelled defense wrong. But there's a reason people say that the 360 is the domain of the ignorant serfs.

Both of you are fanboys.

[joshofstl]

Both of you are fanboys.

Agreed. All three currently marketed consoles have their reasons for ownership and their drawbacks. A good gamer (with more money than me!) would simply buy all three.

[flatliner718]

please save the arguing and just discuss circuit city i hate having to look through this pointless arguement. I think i'll be hitting up the circuit city near me this morning to see if they restocked the points cards like a previous poster said, and also wanna see unless someone knows already. What's the discount on Strategy guides.

[ryoga79]

holy crap! I almost went to CC yesterday and told myself not to. Anyone know if Wilmington NC has any sealed MS points and time cards? I definitely could use some at $15.14 a pop.

[gorgo]

I found a horde of 1600 pt cards at the Addison, TX CC, at 30% off. Bought a few, there's a lot left. They also had 1 month live cards.

Lots of PS3 controllers at 30% off, too.

Once it hits 40% I may have to get a 2nd ps3 controller.

[redneckokie]

Went to the CC on North Penn in Oklahoma City and they had a bunch of 1600 point, 1 month and 3 month cards. They also had 360 controllers and Wii Classic controllers. Everything was still 20% off, though.

[Sidewayz]

I previously posted that the strategy guides are 40%, well at least in NorCAL.

[coolz481]

I got the only Nintendo DS left for $110 after tax today in Coral Springs, FL, and promptly went across the street and picked up Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV for $30 each at Best Buy. After I get the Genesis Collection next month for PS3, I'll be set through the end of summer.

[turls]

No points cards of any type for consoles I could see at mine (Springfield, IL). Not a deal to be had in the whole store.

[necro1970]

NOTHING good at Circuit City In Abington,PA either. WHAT A JOKE !

There werent any POINTS cards anbd one lone 1 month Xbox membership card :(

NO Xbox accessories to speak of. PSP accesories but that was about it.

[mcginnis]

Still nothing in my area of Texas. All the ms points were gone and the games are 20% off which is horrible considering that they still have them set on 60+

[DigitalKitsune]

Just checked my email and it looks like the store wide discount has increased. I don't know how that effects the video games, but I'll check when I head out later today.

http://www.circuitcity.com/image/emails/012909/012909_email_04.jpg

[Brian9824]

A potential good buy could be the Wireless network adapters for 360 once it drops a bit more.

[EvilIA]

Reminds me of the local CC. Only PSP accessories.

ATTN SE Houston CAGs: A gentleman in line behind me this morning at the Pearland CC (helping a customer with a camera transaction) said he was an independent contractor overseeing the liquidation of the Almeda, Baybrook, and Pearland stores. He said Baybrook was the only store under him that was still getting shipments of merchandise. So, folks looking at Almeda and Pearland, what you see left may be all you get.

The only stuff I noticed at 40% off were speakers for MP3 players.

[sunnysky]

You are in the Dallas area? Which store is that?
The Southlake one.

video games were 20% at my store when I went, but everything was still just sitting on the shelves.

guides were still at 10% if the sign was right...

[Rollett]

I just want Blu-Ray movies to hit a nice % off :(

[ITDEFX]

I just want Blu-Ray movies to hit a nice % off :(

20-25% is a good sweet spot for BR movies. However Target/BB has been a nice job of having unadvertised specials on older movies.

[Monsta Mack]

So games are 20% off abouts right now? and accessories are 20%?

I'm guessing end of Feb before we see close to 40% off.

[Rollett]

20-25% is a good sweet spot for BR movies. However Target/BB has been a nice job of having unadvertised specials on older movies.

Yeah thats about what im looking for 20% and i would start to bite on some of them, Just some random things i am looking for.

[ITDEFX]

If you haven't hit the HD bandwagon yet or have a really good BR player that does an amazing job upconverting SD-DVD's, then you could find some really good SD-DVDs for cheap!

I would love to complete some of my tv series box sets like ALF and KR.

[imacgod]

Be careful with the PSN cards. Apparently Circuit City is no longer able to activate them. I was standing in line for about 15 minutes because of that. I probably pissed off a lot of people behind me. I hope I didn't get charged twice though because the cashier had to switch to another computer because of that.

But I got the PSP Component Cable for $9.07 and the PS3 Memory Card Adapter for $9.09.

I was hoping to find an Xbox 360 Wheel, but no luck. :(

[SOLDIER]

So what does this make the discount on laptops now?

[exileinoblivion]

so are multiple circuit citys restocking the point cards? I would love to pick some up but I already know my CC had none. I could travel to a CC thats close but its in a rich neighborhood and I'm sure that anything next gen is cleared out.

[yukafls]

I havent even been to mine this year

[Grico]

my store was 20% off games, 30% accessories, and 25% off dvd. Still nothing worth buying at that discount but they still have lots of stuff left. Even stuff I thought had just come out like Hulk vs.

[futbolplaya934]

what do the point cards do again? when i go to my if they have an xbox 360 i might pick it up so if they have a points card i might have to get them. any know what the buffalo, ny and rochester, ny stores are at?

[ptuck874]

got an email from them this morning, shouting 25 % off plazma tvs, no thanks :)

[futbolplaya934]

One CC near my place got a restock of 1600 point cards on Thursday (I'm sure they are all gone by now). I checked the other two in my area and neither of them had gotten anymore in. Really, all you can do is check everyday as (at least the stores around me) they have printed out signs up saying they are getting new merchandise in daily. I guess the economy is so bad that other stores aren't willing to buy CC's warehouse stock.

[FadeToOne]

The Southlake one.

Ha. It just so happens that's the one I went to. Grabbed 4 1600 pt cards (2 for my friends) and then the Fallout 3 guide for $15. Not bad.

If anyone is interested, they also had a pile of Dual Shock 3s for like $38 and blu-ray remotes for $17 or so. Not bad deals. I kind of want to find one of the official sony blutooth earpieces though.

[xwred5]

Ended up picking up Okami Wii today for $16, a few copies left in Hamburg NY. I plan on waiting until a higher % off to consider any normal priced games.

Games 20%, Game Accessories 30%, DVDs 25%, MP3 stuff was 40%

[RelentlessRolento]

so 40% will be for accsries when probably?

[FlamedLiquid]

what do the point cards do again? when i go to my if they have an xbox 360 i might pick it up so if they have a points card i might have to get them. any know what the buffalo, ny and rochester, ny stores are at?

Points cards are Microsoft currency for your 360. Used to purchase tv show episodes, movie rentals, original xbox games, 360 arcade games, theme and gamer pics, and content download for games. If you dont already own a 360 and are getting one...........its a good idea to get some points cards. Youll have those spent in a heartbeat if your a pts card virgin.

[ajh2298]

A little off-topic but does anybody know the % discount on printer ink?

[FlamedLiquid]

A little off-topic but does anybody know the % discount on printer ink?

My local store had it for 20% off.

[bamajeep]

Went to one in Greenville NC today, nothing good really. The only 360 accessories I saw were a bunch of black play and charge kits, a bunch of gamer fuel (?) kits, and one 360 camera.

[mary_at_gamefunk]

Went to the Hollywood Circuit City and games were 20% off, accessories 30%, and many of the older titles had been marked down considerably (Condemned 9.99, Lost Planet 15.99, Alone in the Dark 7.99). It looked a bit like an apocaplyse with merchandise strewn everywhere and only half of it had price tags. I always hate going into these out-of-business sales because the atmosphere is so somber.

The big titles were gone, but I did pick up Silent Hill Homecoming & Lost Planet cause they were ridiculously cheap and we're OOS in our store.

Is it just me, or does the main character in Silent Hill: Homecoming look like Nick Lachey?????

[DigitalKitsune]

where do u get these emails from?

Was on the CC mail list before all the liquidation stuff ... I assume anyone who had signed up for the mail list before the site shutdown got this update email. I assume we will also get updates on discounts throughout the liquidation.

[bassfiend316]

another somewhat off topic question, what do the car audio discounts look like? i need a cd player, but dont want to sped $15 in gas to save 10% lol.
Thanks

[shiftomnimega]

I suppose it depends which CC, but at the ones I saw it was merely cables.

Hahahaha!:applause:

Ahem! Can anyone else confirm the 20% discount on games at their CC? The one in Tustin, CA doesn't seem to have it, well, that I'm aware of at least.

Mine had 20% of the games. Went there this morning, mine also had restocked a few games too ... still waiting for a little more discount (^_^).

How much was Silent Hill?

[monkeydoodle]

Yah 20% off $60 MSRP is only a $12 discount, which isn't really significant enough to go nuts for. :-# But still, there are some titles that I'm just itching to get!

I'll go check it out again; thanks for the input guys! :D

[Wario64]

my circuit city took out all their point cards it seems (the ones where they have to activate). I'm assuming they had enough with the complaints since i doubt anyone bought them all

[Paco]

Both of you are fanboys.

I'm more pissed off at the fact when I get the 360 in early 2006 only had a 90 day warranty and when it broke down, they tried to charge 250 to repair it and then proceeded to blame ME for it breaking down stating that their hardware was stable. THAT is what pisses me off more then the nickel and diming.

They're both great consoles in all honesty, but Microsoft until they were forced to extend warranties treated their customers like ABSOLUTE SHIT.

And my circuit city is picked clean. The best thing I could find was NBA Homecourt for 9.99. I'm sure someone already bit on that deal.
