Circuit City official bankruptcy watch: final days, 90% off games, ends 03/08/09

[Dhuk]

Are systems 30% off?

[etcrane]

CC's in Sj CA seem to be hanging at 20% off for games ... But PC games are up to 30% and Cc on Stevens Creek has a ton of 1600 point cards behind the register ...

[EvilIA]

Tigard,OR. Console accesories 30%, games 30%. Only have 20 xbox 1600 of cards left at $13.99. 50+ ps3 controllers however. As I was walking in someone walked out with a wiifit. Music & videos 30% off. Changing the signs as I walk around to the new prices.

did you happen to notice if they upped the discount on the game Guides?

[richdmoore]

did you happen to notice if they upped the discount on the game Guides?

The sign said 40% off, but I don't think they had changed it in a while. They were in the process of changing some signs. It's possible that it is now 50% off, but I can't confirm that.

good deals but u could of easily gotten aerosmith for like $15 cheaper if u watched

im guessing the wii was only 20% still? not 30% like some say?

Why would you save vacation time? Vacation time was created so that people can be away from work, be replenished and go back to work energized. A "fresh" employee will perform better than someone that never takes vacation. You are an idiot if you save your vacation, some employers will not pay your vacation if you get fired.


Judging by your post, I'm guessing that you don't have any kids? :lol:

Seriously though - having at least some vacation accrued certainly does NOT make you an idiot. Especially once you have a family....having some vacation time to fall back on in emergency situations is incredibly helpful. A "fresh" employee won't be very fresh if they've got a sick familly member at home that they can't take care of, or are paying someone else to watch if they are kids staying home from school.

And that is just for the more "normal" occurances for any working-class person with a family.....god forbid if something REALLY bad happens and a serious emergency comes up (like hospitalization, death in the family, etc.) Many companies don't have "sick" time per se - and lump everything together in PTO (Paid/Personal Time Off). If you don't have anything accrued, you're looking at unpaid time off at best. Not a good time to have no paycheck coming in to be sure. Try to think of it as an "insurance policy" that will give you some peace of mind in tough times.

And of course - having accrued vacation certainly makes it easier to take a decent vacation. Anyone with travel plans will almost certainly want to maximize the time they have away from home if possible. If you're laying out a lot of money to travel somewhere....why bother if you're only going for a few days at most? Your return on what is probably a sizable investment (especially for a family) is minimal at best.

Finally - regarding being paid out vacation time in the event of termination...this is actually controlled by State law (not Federal law). Some states have a policy that you must be paid out any accrued vacation, others defer to the specific policies of the company (per each employment contract). The case of Circuit City may be different across the board because it is in Chapter 7, and ALL the employees being fired are a result. Payback obligations fall to the creditors and shareholders first....and I don't know the details of where PTO payouts fall under bankruptcy code (if anywhere).

Anyway, sorry about the rant - but you basically called hardworking people everywhere "idiots", and I had to disagree. I think the idiots are the ones that aren't responsible, and don't take steps to plan for the future...especially if they've got people besides themselves to think about!! :D

[JustinJC]

Picked up a PS3 yesterday for 20% off yesterday. Most everything was still 20% off.

[joshnorm]

Woodbridge is 25% off games right now.

Not too bad and might go check out a few for the remaining clearance games that I had my eye on.

[dabamus]

I may or may not have mentioned it before in here, but the CC in Monaca, PA had a bin full of Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB jump drives for $8 a piece. That was a week ago, so they may be about $7 by now if your local CC has some.

For anyone looking for cheap flash drives. :)

picked up Bio Shock PS3 for $28 despite the $59.99 price tag. I missed out on the Best Buy sale last week. Sims 2 Deluxe $3.50
Remember don't always go by the price on the box especially for PC games. They often could be less money then listed. Just ask them to check the price for anything you may be interested in.

[joe50000]

Picked up The World Ends With You for $21. I was afraid to wait for a further drop because I haven't seen it at any other CC. Or anywhere else but GS and EB for that matter. A potential savings of $3 doesn't really matter to me if I can potentially miss out all together.

So far this sale has been good to me. picked up mostly clearance games with another 20% off.

[FecesBreath]

Here's just one example, I had 150 hours of vacation time at the end of October from not taking hardly any vacation for a year. Why? Because I was going to need to take the whole month of November off for the birth of my son.

At my office, it is not uncommon for people to have upwards of 200 hours of vacation. Some, like my immediate boss, even run into the situation where they *must* take leave or lose it as we're only allowed to carry over 240 hours (6 weeks) year to year. Also, we have a large international worker base, so many take two months off every other year to do international travel.

I dont really see how any company can get away with not paying accrued leave. It's part of your compensation package for work you've already done. It would be like paying you $500 for a job then a month later taking back $50.

Fortunately, my agency pays off accrued vacation upon separation. They dont pay sick leave though, hence, I use that up about as quick as I earn it.

That's pretty much a standard for full-time employees - if you leave a job on your own accord (with two weeks notice), you'll get paid for all of the vacation days you didn't take, but not sick days.

Although at my company, you're not allowed to save up vacation days over the years. You have to use your 10 days before the end of your yearly anniversary.

[guardkitty]

Anyone check out the Boise, ID CC? I'm still stuck at work for some time.... :(

[GodspedEmperor]

Went to the CC in Fullerton, CA. Games and DVDs there are now 30% off... Picked up the last copy of Okami for the Wii. It was marked at $39.99, but rang up as $13.99 - 30% off of 19.99. No MS or Wii point cards... DVD section was a disorganized mess, but everything was too expensive to bother with anyways.

[joe50000]

My local CC restocked their games. I was there last week and the entire DS section was almost totally pillaged.

[FlamedLiquid]

Going to head over to Circuit City in like an hour or two, but I have a feeling I wont find anything great.

[NamelessMC]

Okay so here's my CC experience-

When I heard of the 20% console drop, I went to CC to see if they had any PS3's. They didn't, but they had some 360 Premiums and 360 Arcades. I was considering the Premium, but a little low on cash.

Arcade - $159.99
Premium - $239.99

I figured I could get a 20gb on Ebay for $30-40 so I went with the Arcade. That and Sonic Tennis seemed like a better bundle game than Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda.

I regret it afterwards when I started using a memory card, but then I heard about the 30% off games/accessories update so I went down again.

Sure enough, the 60gb Live Starter Kit was $69.99. So I got that and Gears of War 2 for $41.99 brand new.

If anyone wants a 360 Premium or Arcade, I'm willing to get them for you for the price + tax + real shipping cost. I won't charge you extra for gas or time.

They had no 1600 points cards, no PS3's, no PSP's and no 360 Elites.

[AGENT 5]

To confirm an earlier post, some of the Circuit Cities haven't remarked their games (i.e. PS3 & 360) to 30%, instead signs still read 20%, but they're ringing up as 30%. Checked out Burbank, CA CC and Glendale, CA CC to confirm.

[karkyco]

...If anyone wants a 360 Premium or Arcade, I'm willing to get them for you for the price + tax + real shipping cost. I won't charge you extra for gas or time....



I don't want one (looking for an Elite only), but just wanted to give you props as that's really cool of you...

[gi60]

Sure enough, the 60gb Live Starter Kit was $69.99. So I got that and Gears of War 2 for $41.99 brand new.

So the 60Gb Starter kit is 69.99 before 30% off? $ 49 after discount? Not bad...

[AGENT 5]

I don't want one (looking for an Elite only), but just wanted to give you props as that's really cool of you...

Not sure where you are, but they have an Elite at the Glendale, CA store, sitting right there behind the registers for 20%.

[kentomaiku]

how much are the eyetoy for the ps3 and any drops on the psp titles and how much are they, im also looking for a decent digital camera anything let me know!

[EvilIA]

That is after the discount. the MSRP is $99.99.

I think I saw cameras at 30% off, but not sure what the stock looked like. I'm hoping, as most of us are, for another reductions tomorrow, but it appears the price drops are different per region and even store.

1. I have 2 kids, a 1.5 year old and a 4.5 year old

2. I never said accruing vacation time made you an idiot, what makes you an idiot is having 100+ hours accrued as "vacation" and not using this.

3. Some employers offer sick time for those kinds of things you mention. I think most employers have a policy of "use it or lose it" for sick time. Then, you can use your vacation time to get relaxed and go back to work "fresh".

4. If you only have PTO then yes I agree with you about saving that time off for situations like you mention.

5. How long do you need to be away on your travel? If you are away for a week that's only 40 hours. Again, if you have 100+ hours, use your vacation time!

6. If you company goes bankrupt, then say goodbye to the 401k matching and to your vacation , sick time and PTO. If you know your company is in financial trouble (like CC in this case, then use your vacation time!). I think in most instance you get your PTO / vacation paid if you are terminated, but I rather not gamble and take my time off.

7. I did not call "hardworking people" idiots (you are assuming too much), idiots are those than don't use their time off properly, just look at those people at Circuit City, they got nothing out of their 100+ hours of time off accrued.

Can confirm this as I was in the same store today. Got Resistance 2 Collector's Edition for $41.99 as Collector's Editions are ringing up the same price as regular editions according to the cashier.

Saints Row 2 CE $42
Fallout 3 CE $42

In socal as of yesterday, camera is only 20% off. At 20% off the DSLR (D90) is in-line with internet stores prices, so at 30% is actually a pretty good deal.

Yeah it is, sorry I meant waiting for a price reduction on systems. If I can grab a 360 for 30% I'm gold.

Went to my circuit city at the Tacoma Mall and there were close to 50 1600 xbox point cards. Picked up 8 and am using them ALL. Cost me $121 total after tax.

My guess is before.

[shoe478]

I got Beautiful Katamari for $13.99 BEFORE taxes.

[jazzman]

Was this before or after taxes?

It was all before taxes with the 30% off. I had to bite now since these CE's won't be available at 40%.

[bones56]

Just got back from the Hicksville NY CC, they now have 20-50 percent off. Funny but i don't remember seeing what was 50% off. Anyway new games 30 off, used games 40 off, Plasma's 30% LCD 20% off and Bluray's are 30% off (that seems good but i still think bluray's are still overpriced and there weren't any good ones left. Also 30% off of camcorders. I picked up 2 games (one for 8 and the other for 9).

[nny77713]

The CC in bolingbrook, IL is picked over. Very few video games and accessories left.

I was able to pick up the last copy of Oblivion Shivering Isles for $21.

Wow, Sims 2 Deluxe for $3.50 ... was it a particular box, I know there's a thin case and a fat case but I thought they were both 29.99 before discount. With the Sims 3 delayed, I'm kind of itching to try out the Sims 2 on my newish PC.

As far as I can tell no - why has someone reported them as 30%? I've only seen games at that.

[Phalanx024]

Sorry, I made a mistake since I thought it was Friday. I heard that the supposed price drop is happening tomorrow.

[Josef]

are CEs' marked $59.99 at CC? I thought they were usually $10 more than the regular editions

A month or so after release CC marked down the CE versions of the games to match the regular versions' pricing. The Soul Calibur 4 CE will be the same price as well.

[talonthrawn]

40 percent off new games at lansing, mi. had several copies of GoW 2 and Fable 2 and Fallout 3 at 40 percent off. Almost bought a Denon Receiver for 225 plus tax. Will wait and see if it goes 50 ^^

[Theenternal]

Gainesville everything is 40% off. I went there on last Friday and had some friends go a few days ago... They had a huge amount of things in stock. I went there today and found all but their budget bin games and RB/GH stuff gone :(

CC's in Sj CA seem to be hanging at 20% off for games ... But PC games are up to 30% and Cc on Stevens Creek has a ton of 1600 point cards behind the register ...I take it consoles are still at 20% too?

Hey THeenternal,

Did you see any 80GB PS3's at CC in Gainesville when you went today?

[LakersForLife82481]

has anyone seen any 60 GB or 120 GB hard drives for the xbox 360 at CC? i have had the arcade pack for a month now, i love it, but i only have 59 MB left out of my built in 256 MB MU. I REALLY dont want to buy a 20 GB hard drive because i heard it has so little space.

[NamelessMC]

Yes, I got the 60gb live starter kit for $70 after 30% off.

Great deal if you ask me.

[guardkitty]

Boise ID, games at 30% off, they got restocked with more MS Points cards, Cameras are now 30% off and lenses are now 40% off. Those Canon Xsi are starting to look nice at 559.99!

[Darvan]

Anyone know what the price is of the drum seats and what sort of discount they give you for it.

At the Honolulu, HI store the games were 30% off.
i picked up Nuts & Bolts for $28.

[davidkibler33]

[etcrane]

I take it consoles are still at 20% too?

And will CC still be selling new games like SFIV and KZ2?

Actually it looked like the 360's were marked at 10% but I'm pretty sure they weren't above 20%. As far as new games, it's looking doubtful ... I suspect that we're seeing whatever is left over in CC's warehouses, so it's mostly established and released games ... if it hasn't shipped yet, which neither of those have, then odds are it's not going to show up.

I have to say, 30% still isn't much of a deal with the prices at CC ... only thing worth getting are items that hold a fairly regular value ... time cards and points cards .. speaking of which, anyone who's looking to get into Warhammer ... wait about 2 weeks and you'll be able to pick up 60 day timecards for $10 or less ... those things are selling .. WoW on the other hand is wiped ... I guess there's always those Hellsgate London copies sitting around ... ;-)

[gordojones88]

My CC has 100+ 1600 Microsoft Points cards. They ring up $14 still.
I accidentally dropped a few behind a shelf by accident.
I suppose I'll have to go back and try to get them back when they hit 50% off.
I also counted 300+ wireless controllers and about 50+ World Tour full band kit for 30% off.

[porieux]

Got six 1600 point cards at $14 each. Good deal IMO, cheapest you can usually find them is $15 on sale.

[FlamedLiquid]

I'm thinking all stores in MI are running 40% games now. lol. Ive read 2 posters from different locations in MI and now the Saginaw, MI one is also doing 40% games, dvds, and cds. They are pretty much picked through, though I was able to snag a wii copy of Okami and Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP.

Total was like $38 after taxes.

I'm hoping to get more tomorrow. I had my sights on getting Sam and Max (Wii), Prince of Persia (360), and a couple of dvds.

They had a nice selection of 360 games. But I already own most of em. Not so much for Wii or PSP besides Star Ocean( I think I got the last copy). And I didnt look through the PS3 games since I dont own a PS3. Saw some gems for the DS though:

Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2
Dragon warrior Monsters
Final Fantasy V or VI...cant remember which.

But I already have Chrono Trigger and FFV and VI on PS1 so........not real interested in having them for DS. But great games.

No accessories whatsoever aside from Wii Remote wrappers. No systems either, not even handhelds. :(

Also........this location had a sign saying "LAST 10 DAYS"

Kinda sucks..but oh well I got a good deal today, and maybe more tomorrow.

[bgame2]

Is it worth buying a psp at 30% off?

[sweepy76]

I went to a couple of different stores today, one in Downers Grove, IL (off of I-88) and picked up a couple of games. Games and Accessories are 30% off right now, games up from 20%. I got rock band 2 (just the game) and mercenaries 2 (this was already marked down, WOO HOO). Not too many accessories here, some cabling and rock band drum suppressors but that's about it. Then I stopped by the store in Berwyn and 360 and ps3 games are still 20% and wii games are 25% but accessories are 30%. The had a ton of accessories for the 360 and ps3, controller battery/charger, cables and most importantly TONS of 1600pt. cards for the 360. Picked up a couple of the 1600 cards and that's it. Probably gonna wait for the next reduction then I'l go hog wild, :bouncy:. Sorry didn't really check on other reductions other then dvd's and they were 30%. hope this helps!!!

Also the downers grove store had a TON of guitar hero and rock band sets for various systems, especially guitar hero 3 sets (guitar and game). They had them in various spots around the store and if your familiar with that store they moved all the games to the front of the store off to the left right after you pass the registers!!!!!

Update: Sorry, forgot to mention at the Downers Grove store they had a bunch (maybe 8 to 10) x360 arcade bundles and 2 or 3 elite systems (which I was surprised to see). Also I saw 2 ps3 machines, not sure what bundle. I believe the systems were 20% off but not entirely sure.

Picked up a Socom Confrontation headset bundle at 30% off to day. $45 including tax isnt too bad.

If you filed the federal today it would be fri the 13th.

heres the disbursement chart - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p2043.pdf

Here's what I've landed so far:

- Gears of War (pre-owned), 360: 14.99


I was looking to buy this game as well. Do you know if CC's used games are reliable? It's not like GS where you can ask to see the game disk because it's shrink-wrapped. I just don't want to buy a defective game from a non-returnable store...

[oasisboy]

So last week I got a coupon in the mail of spend $100 and get $15 off, I am guessing the coupon will not work, correct?

[blk00civicsi]

If you filed the federal today it would be fri the 13th.

You're giving the guy false hope. He filed today yes, But was it accepted BEFORE 11 AM?? He'll be seeing his return on the 20th IF he elected for Direct Deposit.

AND \\:D/ I win by a few seconds ;)

[Hobbes510]

*sob* thanks guys. It's direct depoed, but certainly wasn't filed before 11am. Sure hope my local cc will still be open in two weeks.

[SniperREX]

The CC in Arlington, TX is out of Xbox Live Points Cards :bomb:. They still have the same discount from a week ago. So games are 20% off (lame) and gaming accessories 30% off.

I checked the price on a Panasonic Plasma 50Z80U was $1500, same price of the current model 85U pretty much everywhere :roll:.

The had like 20-30 Panasonic plasma in boxes all over the floor, tons of Guitar Hero stuff and some RB related.

[Dhuk]

Okay so here's my CC experience-

When I heard of the 20% console drop, I went to CC to see if they had any PS3's. They didn't, but they had some 360 Premiums and 360 Arcades. I was considering the Premium, but a little low on cash.

Arcade - $159.99
Premium - $239.99

I figured I could get a 20gb on Ebay for $30-40 so I went with the Arcade. That and Sonic Tennis seemed like a better bundle game than Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda.

I regret it afterwards when I started using a memory card, but then I heard about the 30% off games/accessories update so I went down again.

Sure enough, the 60gb Live Starter Kit was $69.99. So I got that and Gears of War 2 for $41.99 brand new.

If anyone wants a 360 Premium or Arcade, I'm willing to get them for you for the price + tax + real shipping cost. I won't charge you extra for gas or time.

They had no 1600 points cards, no PS3's, no PSP's and no 360 Elites.

I am thinking about getting a 360 arcade. But CC keeps getting in small shipments here and there. Do I wait till they drop to 40%? One of the employess told me, (from what he heard from the liquidators) the lowest they're gonna go on new games is 50%. If I had to guess, if true, probably at the end of march?

[Thedrknss48]

Has anyone been to the West Covina CC? I was wondering if they still had DS3s. I'm still waiting for those to drop, but it is a bit of a drive for me if I'm not gonna buy anything.

Thanks, i'll bite for Gears of War.

[shivaedge]

Yes, I went there 5 days ago. And they had a bunch of DS3s (at least 20) for $38. But since then, they may have dropped in price and may not still have so many left in stock.

[chrisswiss83]

do not buy the Wii version your arms will be tired in like 10 minutes of holding up the controller as a gun, and the Wii version has less health and ammo picks ups, and More enemies.
So your complaint with RE4 Wii edition is that you suck at Resident Evil?

Problem solved: rest your arm on the arm rest of your couch or maybe your knee or something. I've finished this game and I don't remember ever getting fatigued. Aiming is a hell of a lot easier with the remote.

Other problem solved: aim for the knees, and either kick/suplex or use that knife (where the waggle truly shines). I can't wait to use that stomp/impale in RE5!

Other benefits of Wii version include: extra 3-4 hour Ada campaign, new guns and outfits, native widescreen support.

But hey, $5 for the best game of the last generation isn't bad! :-D

[dabamus]

I'm hopefully going to the Monaca, PA CC tomorrow, and maybe the Niles, OH one. I'll take a notebook and report back on what they have.

[Thedrknss48]

I was hoping it would drop to 40% so I can pick one up. $38 and then tax is like $42, I can find it that price online with free shipping.

[Ronin317]

So last week I got a coupon in the mail of spend $100 and get $15 off, I am guessing the coupon will not work, correct?
No...as far as I was told, they cut all coupons. I got a $30 off of $300 purchase coupon from Discover Card literally 3 days before they declared and the sale started, and was told no on it right away.

I'm so psyched about the the Fallout bobble head! ;-)

lol. I can guarantee you any normal person will not have this problem. and the Wii version has less health and ammo picks ups, and More enemies.
How in the hell is that a bad thing, even if true?

Wii version > all others.

Actually, Wii version over all other RE games ever, including 5, if the demo is any indication.

[smokeyp31]

Anybody know if Circuit City carries, the game "Pro Evolution Soccer 2009" for ps2, I would like to get it with the 30% off, Best soccer game in mi opinion, what other store would have it cheap, also anybody knows how much is rockband track pack vol 2 at circuit city, i wanna get this and rockband 2, maybe when games hit the 40% line,

[playing mantis]

the used COD4 I got at CC before looked mint. they prob have a pro resurfacing machine at the distribution center. Unless I was just damn lucky or something.

Whoa, whoa ... that might be sacrilege ... no Wii anything is over anything non-Wii ever ... at least thus far in my experience (jk ... sort of). But seriously, RE2, if properly updated would be the pinnacle of the RE series ... the end of RE4 made me feel like I had inserted Metal Gear Solid into my Wii. 4 is a good game, but I can't let it stand as best in the series ... so folks, if you can pick up any of the older gamecube RE's at CC ... don't let them get away ...

[menikmati]

SCORE!!!

Resident Evil 4 Gamecube version new $5 bucks.

do not buy the Wii version your arms will be tired in like 10 minutes of holding up the controller as a gun, and the Wii version has less health and ammo picks ups, and More enemies.

All aboard the failboat.

[etcrane]

I do have to admit that the Wii RE4 is the best edition of the game ... because it has the added content of the PS2 version and is playable on Wii with controls that allow for more precision. I just had to stand up to the notion that it's the best in the series ... the one plus on the wii is that you can collect the entire series ... until 5 at least ...

I want to say that the PS2 edition was a definite graphical downgrade, the Gamecube controller was far superior for the gameplay, and the Wii edition blows them both away.

[A Happy Panda]

Mmm... PS3s are $320 at my CC...gonna wait another week, see if it can get to ~$270

[DarkZion]

I think I'll probably scout out the (not-so) local CC after school and see if anything is worth buying.

I just hope there's at least one thing worthy of purchase, since I kinda don't wanna drive 20 minutes for nothing.

[musicman65000]

"accidentally dropped a few behind a shelf by accident" Had me cracking up!:lol:

[Nelstone]

Nice score on the LE's :)

What kind of condition are their used games in?

Thank you, sir. GTA IV SE is complete and in mint condition. The disc doesn't appear to have been used at all. The Fable II LE's extra content code has been exposed, so I imagine it's been used already. The game disc has a minor circular mark around 1/4 of the outer edge, but it appears superficial. I will test it to see if any disc-read issues are immediately apparent.

I am going to hit a few more CCs today. I'm looking to get Bioshock for 360, Oblivion: Shivering Isles for 360, perhaps Boom Blox for the Wii, and whatever else is a good deal.

[joe50000]

All aboard the failboat.

Question: how many pyramid schemes did you have to peddle to get your prizes?

JK JK JK... I remember I got the Star Wars trilogy DVD set through one of those sign up offers... haven't bothered since.

[darkpice]

i was able to pick up the following:
:ds: the world ends with you - $20.99
:psp: final fantasy vii: crisis core - $20.99

both were stickered at $39.99 each. i had my hopes up that othere ds and psp games were half off. so i grabbed a chrono trigger and had them scan it but it came up $27.99. not bad but i already got 2 sealed copies and dont need a third.....unless it drops to $20.99, then i might have to get a third or fourth. :lol:

[plasticbathmonki]

I found a couple of Warhammer Online time cards, pick 2 up for $22 each.

[geekpimpfx]

I'm hopefully going to the Monaca, PA CC tomorrow, and maybe the Niles, OH one. I'll take a notebook and report back on what they have.


Please do so, you're not too terribly far from me, should be a good indication of what's in my area (i'm working 10-12 hour days all week, so I haven't had time to get out)

[Ronin317]

I'm dying with anticipation for 10am, so I can call and find out if the CC employee that told me consoles would go to 30% on the 6th was lying or not...

[joe50000]

That's funny, I saw those same prices. CC is just notoriously bad at re-stickering games. Many of their clearance games are still stickered full price.

I also picked up TWEWY *high five*

[doppelganger]

I stopped by the CC in Mt. Laurel, NJ yesterday:

Games & Aceesories are at 30% off. "Social gaming" (I think I read that includes GH & Rock Band and the such) was still at 20% off. Not sure about consoles.

I picked up Fallout 3 (360), a Wii remote (they still had at least 10 or so) and a Wii points card (they had a ton of them).

Just a reminder to everyone, the liquidators can start taking stuff off of shelves and packing them up at any time. There are posts in this thread indicating that this has already happened at some stores. The moral of this story is that you shouldn't wait too long to bite if your local CC has something you want. IMO, at 30% off, I think it's time to bite on some of these deals.

[ryheeles]

Anyone know if any of the stores near Baltimore have 40% off games?

[Vinny]

I went last night I'm amazed at how stupid people can be.

All of the good games were gone and games were only 20% off. I was like, seriously? All the consoles were gone too (was thinking of getting a 360 Arcade) but even consoles were only 20% off. Then I thought about getting some speakers or a subwoofer and once again, it was nothing but crap deals. Half the store was empty though because people think they're getting deals. The only things 40% off were furniture.

Not a high powered subwoofer (100 watts) but I grabbed the Sony SA-W2500, rang up $99.99 minus 25% making it $75. That's $34 less than the next lowest price I found online.

[bgame2]

Anyone had any luck trying to purchase demo systems or lcd's? (The ones in the kiosks)

[bamf226]

Does anyone have a list of which stores are closing in the next week or so. I think I saw a post earlier that some stores are closing in 10 days.

If no one has a list, does anyone know when the Tuscaloosa, AL store is closing?

[spamfree2]

From previous liquidations ( not saying the same this time), normally they don't sell displays or stuff like that until it gets closer to the end. Although, they might not turn down a pretty good offer.

[napmaster]

Bought Enchanted Arms for 360 for ~$13. Lowest price I've seen for a NEW copy is $29.99. I bought the only copy that was sitting on the shelf.

[Sidewayz]

I went to the CC in San Mateo, CA, and did not see anything that sparked my interest. But all the games were indeed 30% off, but the systems were still 20%, and they had a whole bunch of 360's and PS3's left. Also if you are looking for LIVE Cards, they have a whole bunch of them. As well as PS3 controllers.

[espionage]

it's funny - i dropped by the the circuit city store in midtown manhattan last night and saw a Fallout 3 life-size statue on sale for $2500. a sticker underneath it says that it is not subject to any of the liquidation discounts...

I think all the Game Kiosks were pulled by the Nintendo, Microsoft & Sony already. I could be wrong but that's what i am seeing in various stores.

[n25philly]

I need to replace a broken laptop and figured I would get an awesome deal because the first one I went to only had the disply unit left. They wanted full price for it. Needless to say I got it at a different store.

[NamelessMC]

You're assuming there will be any left when the discounts get that low. There were only two arcades left when I went yesterday, two hard drive 60gb kits and about 12 Premiums.

I might go today to pick up another game, gonna check the bank account first.

[dabamus]

Please do so, you're not too terribly far from me, should be a good indication of what's in my area (i'm working 10-12 hour days all week, so I haven't had time to get out)

Eternal Sonata -$7.49
Gears of War 1 - $14.49

All arcades are gone, all HDD/wireless bundles are gone.

[sdpads19]

Anyone know the pricing for the following. I went briefly at lunch to see that they had and found these

Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Heavenly Sword
Folklore

X360 Arcades
X360 Elites

Unfortunately they dont have stickers on their items.

Thx in advance.

[AGENT 5]

I just called four stores in the LA area and it appears systems are STILL 20% . . . well the systems that are left anyway. I think I'm gonna just cave and get one - still better than full price.

[Anexanhume]

I just called four stores in the LA area and it appears systems are STILL 20% . . . well the systems that are left anyway. I think I'm gonna just cave and get one - still better than full price.

I was wondering about this. If systems managed to drop to 30% and there were still some PS3's floating out there, I think I'd have to bite.

[neshoba78]

Does anyone have a list of which stores are closing in the next week or so. I think I saw a post earlier that some stores are closing in 10 days.

If no one has a list, does anyone know when the Tuscaloosa, AL store is closing?
The one in Alexandria, LA is closing within the next week. Not sure about Baton Rouge, LA by the Mall of Louisiana. Gonna check it out Sunday, I suppose.

I got The Club for $10.18, last night.

Don't know about the systems, but the games, assuming they are new, are:

Uncharted - $59.99
Heavenly Sword - $59.99
Folklore -$19.96

Definitely get Folklore as that would be about $14 after 30% off.

[yedgee]

Novi, MI

40% off
Video Games
Blu-rays
Dvd's
CD's

50% off
Game Guides (bad selection)

No Consoles left
Tons of Guitar Hero and Rock Band stuff but only 30% off.

If you go here looking for games go immediately to the checkout counter at the front of the store. ALL of the 360, Wii, PS3 games are behind the counter. As of 1pm today they had a great selection left.

I grabbed MK vs. DC Kollector's Edition (PS3) for $35.

They also had 2 or 3 Fallout 3 LE's (PS3) for $35 left.

[mercilessming]

Harbison CC in columbia has Software 30% off and used 40%..... still a few new titles on 360 (Web of shadows, tomb raiders, etc), and ton of conan for 19$ before discount and I saw they had PS3 and wii games didn't notice titles. PC games were finally being touched at 30% off but alot of spores, some unreal, gears, fall out, dead space, RTS(s)...

Other stuff still overpriced even more so like AeroSmith Guitar Hero 55, they still had good many and a few GH3.

[kaydigi]

Do not buy any used games without opening them right at the register. My Gears of War was completely smashed. Had to go through hell to exchange it.

[spamfree2]

I saw that too. Aren't they supposed to return those props after the promtional period is over ????


I saw one of those at a local GS.

[oasisboy]

Southlake, TX had plenty of PS3 for $320, Wii's for $200 and Wii Fit for $71. I still wont buy a Wii at that price.

I find it ironic that a fat ass lady was buying 2 Wii Fit (if she thinks she will lose weight with this, she is just kidding herself).

[stickyfeet]

I found an arcade and pro today that had just been shipped in to store at Wellington, Fl. I bought both just 20% off, but still 159 and 239 for xbox 360s is great. They said they just got in 10 additional pallets of merchandise. Hundreds of controllers every system still on shelves. I found and bought 9 1600 point cards. Also found gears 1 new with gears 2 extras for 20.

[Pelican]

Anyone know what the discount on TV's are now?

[Gulshog]

Picked up Jeanne D'Arc for PSP for only 15 bucks, tax included. It's brand new, not used. :bouncy:

[Puerto Rican HoBo]

Well, video game accessories are now @ 40% off at my store. Unfortunately, the only accessory worth getting is the 360 wireless adapter. No cards, no controllers...

They also aren't selling videogames. They told me that they had to round up all the games, movies and cds that were left so they could send them over to other stores, which sucks humongous amounts of ass. There are a lot of Guitar Hero WT bundles though @ 30% off. Might grab one of those later.

I did get Sims 2 Deluxe for $3.49 though, so I didn't come away empty handed.

[Marat]

Sorry if this has been asked already but have the Microsoft Points went down in price today, i bought some on Monday for $13 which is still a great deal.

[lawdood]

Gah, games are stil 20% off and accessories 30% at my local store. WTF?

[AGENT 5]

Sorry if this has been asked already but have the Microsoft Points went down in price today, i bought some on Monday for $13 which is still a great deal.

Well at the Burbank store 1600 pt cards were $13.99, so still the same - 30% off.

[Triz]

Picked up Okami and No more Heroes for 13.99 apiece :applause:

[Gulshog]

I should add, the sign said 30%, but it rang up 50%. So, you should check your local CC anyway, and have them ring up a game to check the price. I was going to buy it for 30% off, but 50% was a real steal.

[foster1887]

Circuit City in Brookfield, WI

Games went up to 30% off. All the big names are there for the PS3. I didn't check the 360 or Wii. I ended up buying Oblivion and Fall Out 3 Collector's Edition for a total of $58.XX. Used games were 40% off and they had a ton of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 for the 360. Nothing really for the PS3 and a couple games for the WII. Consoles were still 20% off and they had 4 PS3s and a quite a few 360's left. It looked like they got a shipment of new games in because I didn't see Oblivion before. Glad I went today!

Well thats neeto! Did they get any MS Cards, since they have been wiped out for about 2 weeks?

[thebob101]

Picked up an Arcade 360 for $160 (20% off). They only had a few left and I said what the hell. Also grabbed the Nerf Wii accessories for $25 (30% off).

Blu Ray's were 20% off and CD/DVDs were 30%.

[RelentlessRolento]

Are PSN cards on sale?

[radman99]

Just went at lunch -
30% off Camcorders, Digital Cameras, CD/DVDs, Photo Frames, GPS and PC Games
25% off TVs, Home Audio, Other Computer Software and Office Essentials (printers)
40% off Furniture, Phone Accessories, Mobile Audio and previously owned games.

XBOX Arcade for $160 and Pro for $240
Wii Fit for $71
PS3 controllers $39 (30% off)
XBOX live 1600 cards (in bubble) $14

Found PS3 Tony Hawk Proving Grounds in previously owned (sealed) for $7.79.
Also, some old guides come up .01, but the sales guy asked the manager and he said they had to sell them as $6 a piece. Great. I didn't get those (Rogue Galaxy, Perfect Dark and Quake 4).

[forumreader]

Grabbed the Gears 2 LE and Lich King at 30 percent off. Accessories were still at 30 or i'd have snagged a dual shock 3 as well.

[sunnysky]

Why oh Why can't they just do this the Consumer User Friendly way, and give all stores the same markdowns at the same time. It sure would make things easier for those who have to drive a ton of miles to get to a store, in hopes that they have the best discounts.

[voidedx]

Yesterday I bought Hellboy: Science of Evil (360) for $21. It was marked $30. So 30% off, but the signs said 20%. (They only updated the computer.) It's a decent price for a new copy of the game. It was the last copy and couldn't see any other 360 game deals. I somehow forgot to check accessories!

[foster1887]

Well thats neeto! Did they get any MS Cards, since they have been wiped out for about 2 weeks?

No. I don't think they have gotten any in since the accessories went up to 30% off. They have been out the past three times I went over a week and a half span. Doubt they will get any in.

[erehwon]

I dropped by the Fort Wayne CC and saw the 30% on games. Unfortunately, the DS section had been really picked over. That and the PSP section was still at 20%. I did manage to get two pc games.

Dark Messiah Might and Magic $3.47
Sam & Max Season one $13.97

[EvilIA]

Are PSN cards on sale?

the PSN cards are gift cards and are excluded from the discounts. Most stores are not selling them anymore as if you buy them, the liquidators can't activate them. So along with anything gift card wise that has to be activated via the register, avoid a purchase.

[TheRock88]

Picked up Fallout 3 (regular) for 360 - $45.45 after tax

[FlamedLiquid]

Novi, MI

40% off
Video Games
Blu-rays
Dvd's
CD's

50% off
Game Guides (bad selection)

No Consoles left
Tons of Guitar Hero and Rock Band stuff but only 30% off.

If you go here looking for games go immediately to the checkout counter at the front of the store. ALL of the 360, Wii, PS3 games are behind the counter. As of 1pm today they had a great selection left.

I grabbed MK vs. DC Kollector's Edition (PS3) for $35.

They also had 2 or 3 Fallout 3 LE's (PS3) for $35 left.

Did your store have a "10 Days left" sign too?

This is yet another MI store with 40 and 50% off. Think all the MI stores will be done before March hits.

[Southard]

My local store in Yonkers, NY has games now at 30% off and used games at 40% off. Never knew they had used games at Circuit City before. The place though was pretty cleaned out of accessories with just crap left. I picked up Burnout Paradise for 360 for 14 bucks which wasn't so bad.

[Gamer SDP]

^ South, is that the cross county one?

checked 3 CCs in the city (5th Ave/44th, 66th/Broadway?, 80th/Broadway?)

all games were 30% off. no 360 accessories at all. even if the prices go to 40% off, there wasn't really any game I'd want >_>

[hellz99]

CC in orlando FL has 30% off all games as well.
They had Dead Space, CoD and R2 which I was pondering getting for $42 each ($60 @ 30% = $42). Not sure they're worth it.

[alongx]

Checked Union City NJ and East Brunswick NJ today, both still have 20% off games, 30% off DVDs. I considered getting some Battlestar Galactica (they had about 1 copy of each season in EB) but I'd need it to be at least 50% off of their marked price to bite.

[Traitorious]

Anyone in the Twin Cities area that is looking for MS points, the CC right off France Ave on 494 has a handful of 1600 point cards left (after the couple I purchased). Probably gonna go quickly!

[FlamedLiquid]

Well this is more than likely my last haul...so I made it a good one. I pretty much only picked up dvds, but I did pick up 1 game:

These are the prices after discount. Everything was 40%:

Sam and Max Season 1 (Wii) $17.99

Californiacation Season 1 $17.99
Married With Children Season 8 $20.99
The Truman Show $4.19
Screwed $4.19
A Fish Called Wanda $5.99
The French Connection $8.99
ZooLander $5.99
Backdraft $5.99
The Mask $5.99
Dr. Strangelove $5.99
The Untouchables $5.99


Also picked up Zach and Miri, Freaks and Geeks Complete Series, and Saliva's new cd at Best Buy afterwards.

:D

[Wildgift]

Any one in los angeles area see any used 360 games? I'm looking for COD 4/5 or gow

[SteelPenguin67]

I just got back from the Encinitas (SoCal) CC. I went there on my lunch break so I wasn't there for very long and only went through the 360 video games section. I was there on Tuesday and between then and today, they seemed to have restocked. They had plenty of controllers and XBL cards (no points cards), also had a decent selection of guides (40% off). I ended up getting the Fallout 3 CE and Saint's Row 2 CE (Big Ass Chains!) for $45 each. They had a handful of other CEs left and plenty of games, at 30% off.

[futbolplaya934]

stopped at 2 CC today NOTHING at all! omg i was so upset.
First CC...they had xbox elites like 20 left i was like hoping for a a ps3 but had none...they where only 20% off too thought about asking for floor model but they have been used so much!

Though i was able to pick up little big planet for 30% off which is good at $45.35.
I laughed cause 2 min later some kid walks up to me and is like where did u find that little big planet game at at i was like it was sitting there. i felt like saying for $5 u can buy it! lol but i didn't.

Second one....like 50 les paul 360 quitars but don't want for 20% off...im hoping they don't do much buisness cuase they had like 40 Resistance 2 left hidden in this side case so im hoping they stay till like 50% but thats a long shot! though this one was even worse then the first one!

O well good buy CC

[Grecco]

The CC in San Patricio now has like 6 or so Elites left. Somehow when they had zero a couple of days ago.

Anyways.

[Thedrknss48]

I took the drive to West Covina. They had no more DS3 already, sucks.

[jza1218]

^ South, is that the cross county one?

checked 3 CCs in the city (5th Ave/44th, 66th/Broadway?, 80th/Broadway?)

all games were 30% off. no 360 accessories at all. even if the prices go to 40% off, there wasn't really any game I'd want >_>


Hope that holds for the CC's out in Queens. Wouldnt mind Gears 2 for $40 bucks.

[dabamus]

Notes on the Monaca, PA CC:

Games, DVDs, Blu-rays, and CDs: 30%
Game Guides: 40%

They had a display model 40GB PS3 for $360, which was absurd IMO

They had some Wii Fit mats, but no Wii Fits or Wii's.
They had one "lunchbox" Fallout 3 CE for PS3. It was marked at $80, so I'm guessing it is also 30% off of that price.
They had a bunch of GH Aerosmith and GH III: LoR for PS3.
They had a bunch of GH Les Paul guitars for Xbox 360 and Wii.
Guitar Hero World Tour box set was marked at $190 for PS3.(that was a hand written sign)

@the Alliance, OH guy: I'm most likely going to Canton tomorrow instead of Niles since Niles most likely hasn't restocked.

Also, at Monaca I found a 1month card for XBL that was 30% off of $8. I was going to buy it, but I spotted a clamshell 12 month card behind the register in a bin and got them to sell it to me for $35 after the discount.

EDIT: they also had 4 PS2s at Monaca, but they were all 7xxxx series models. The white singstar bundle was gone. :(

Also for Pittsburgh/Monaca area people: the target at the Beaver Valley Mall in Monaca has about 10 Wiis in stock as of tonight.

O well good buy CC

Yea I went to Henrietta today. They had tons of Elites and they're going to be there for a while. You can probaly get one of those when they drop in price some more. Also did you see any DS games at the other location?......On a side note does anyone know how much Dragon Quest IV for DS cost?

[buster90]

I went today Dallas Texas 30% off games still nothing that great I have not already played. I am waiting for more to get POP or something

[tubby34]

Just a heads up- don't buy the floor model ps3's. the playstation rep who i am cool with said they are set to demo only mode. you might be abel to trade them into gamestop though as fully functional and get about 250 for it.
keep that in mind

[sunnysky]

Anyone in the Twin Cities area that is looking for MS points, the CC right off France Ave on 494 has a handful of 1600 point cards left (after the couple I purchased). Probably gonna go quickly!

Thanks for the heads up.
By any chance do you remember what the %off is for Movies/games?

[dabamus]

Thanks! A woman there asked me about it since I was talking to a family member about it, and I told the woman that she should look for a 20GB on ebay if she wants to be able to play all the PS1 and PS2 games, and that the one at that CC was overpriced anyways since it was $320 for an 80GB at CCs that had new PS3s.

[Flushola]

Did your store have a "10 Days left" sign too?

This is yet another MI store with 40 and 50% off. Think all the MI stores will be done before March hits.

Now I can talk about it a little more.

All stores in Michigan, except for Ann Arbor, will be having their last open-to-the-public on Monday the 16th. My store (Madison Heights) will be selling fixtures on the 17th and 18th, and then that's it. So the discounts should be going down about every 2 or 3 days.

[Traitorious]

Thanks for the heads up.

30% off for Movies/CDs and games/accessories (20% for RB/GH stuff).

well I may go make a final scope on the 13th. But I'm sure itll be be pretty bare.

[futbolplaya934]

yeah it would be sick if they went 50% off lol but yeah those are like everywhere. They had some DS games in greece but i didn't really look cause i don't own a DS so i didn't really glance. They had a section wiht them but it didn't look like to many. I would call and ask them

[VaRIABLE SoUL]

Got back from my CC (Maryland Parkway next to the Boulevard mall in Vegas) and they were picked clean. Games were 30% off but it was slim pickings. I did manage to find one copy of The World Ends With You on DS ($22 after discount), Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ on DS ($14, this game looks horrible but the title and art work is fantastic LOL).

They still had some games in the glass case:
PS3: Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, COD:WAW, PoP, Fallout 3, Saint's Row 2
360: Mirror's Edge, COD:WAW, PoP, Fallout 3, Sain't Row 2

I grabbed a copy of Resistance 2, came out to $41.99.

There's a hand written sign up that says they have more 360 Arcade bundles in the back and they're $159. I think that's the only console they have left. No DS systems, nor PSP systems or PS3s and Wii's.

Oh ya, no point cards at all for any system. No controllers (heck the accessories aisle for the 360 and PS3 were practically blank. Still got a lot of Wii accessories (like wireless sensor bars).

I was lookin for L4D for the PC but they were out. I did spot PC copies of Farcry 2, Fallout 3, and COD:WAW. Also 30% off.

[TimDJ84]

Few quick notes for those in Saint Louis.The CC in Gravois Bluffs still is only offering 20% games.This may be due to the vast amount of games left,especially PS3,and they want to try to sell the major titles.Also,I did not check quantities in store,but I saw Slackers and their van in front loading PS3 consoles in the back.I assume that game stores are buying up quantities of consoles at the reduced price and are going to resale for full price.IF YOU NEED A CONSOLE I SUGGEST BUYING SOON!

[rickyff7]

Any News on El Paso TX?

[Ronin317]

I spoke with the Manager of the CC in Monroeville, PA...they are NOT getting any more consoles, and dealers have been buying them up like mad. They had less than 10 total PS3 systems left, so I said screw it and stopped waiting for the price to drop further.

[egorka]

Wilkes Barre, PA.. Went to pick up a Rock Band stage kit today... Signs said 30% off games and accessories, but it rang up at 79.99... I left it behind, I'll wait for a 10% off Best Buy coupon and get it there with some of my RZ coupons... No accessories left (hard drives, points cards, controllers)

Anybody have a report from the Dickson City, PA Store??

[knightsdwn]

My local store in Yonkers, NY has games now at 30% off and used games at 40% off. Never knew they had used games at Circuit City before. The place though was pretty cleaned out of accessories with just crap left. I picked up Burnout Paradise for 360 for 14 bucks which wasn't so bad.

Doh. I was meaning to go there on Saturday hoping to find a 1600 MS point card. Guess I'll hit up the White Plains CC. I'll report in with what I'll find.

[dabamus]

A word of advice: take a careful glance behind the main counter for bins. I found my 12+1 XBL card today laying on the top of one of those. I asked if I could buy it, and they sold it to me.(a clamshell one, that is)

[Your Good Twin]

Lurker here, thought I'd contribute.

Just got back from the one in West Little Rock, Arkansas.

Console games = 20%; great selection. Multiple copies of most of the big games from last year, including Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, Fable 2, etc. Didn't buy anything because...

PC games = 30%; Got real lucky here. Picked up their last copy of Fallout 3, Red Alert 3, and Company of Heroes. Companies of Heroes had $30 on the box, range up at something like $10.XX. Otherwise, still a great selection of PC games. Far Cry 2, WoW and all expansions, Supreme Commander, Spore, etcetera etcetera. Even a Fallout 3 lunchbox special edition.

No word on when ours ends, didn't think to ask.

[dabamus]

I'm thinking about biting on Quantum of Solace for PC, but at the CCs that I have been at it is marked at $50, so that would still be $35 after discount = more than Target or BB or Wally World.

[ssssss]

Picked up Patapon for 15.5x including tax, 30% off. Now all I need is a mem stick so I can play it :(

[aznguyen316]

My CC has 30% off PC but 20% off console games.

A lot of PC games available, like 6-8 L4D's fallout 3's about 5x, a ton of WoW's. I'm gonna hope for 40% off to scope out the PC games again. thought about picking up CS:S for $14 or so..

Fixtures are all for sale and the sign is UP TO 50%...

[outofthepark44]

Went into my local CC today to check (like i do everyday) and they had GOW1 special edition for 20. I'll probably go back tomorrow and grab 1. A different CC in town had about 8 legendary editions of Halo 3 marked 40 bucks. If i didnt already own the game i would have swooped that up in a second.

[Traitorious]

A word of advice: take a careful glance behind the main counter for bins. I found my 12+1 XBL card today laying on the top of one of those. I asked if I could buy it, and they sold it to me.(a clamshell one, that is)
Every CC that I've been to here in MN have had the 1600 MS point cards behind the customer service desk since the initial weekend of the liquidation.

That is your best (and sometimes only) bet for point cards right now. Just walk up (wait in line most likely) and ask if they have any in a bin behind the counter or in back. I do have a CC near me that doesn't have a customer service desk...so I had no idea what to do there since all the employees were helping other people.

[Nelstone]

Here is my latest run from CC. I may go back for some $59.99 360 titles when they reach 50% off or more, such as Left 4 Dead, Mirrors Edge, Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant.

All prices after discount (30% off new, 40% off used)

- Fallout 3 CE, 360: 41.99

- Oblivion: Shivering Isles, 360: 20.99
- Bully: Scholarship Edition, 360: 20.99

My tax return arrived this morning, which is how I justified this spending blitz. The universe aligned this way! CC going out of business, fat tax return... who am I to argue?

[LumbeeChief]

Any new's On any CC's In NC mainly the Fayetteville Area?

[mwc547]

Any word on the Mass stores? Particularly the Framingham/Natick one. Last time I stopped in they had tons of stuff up but still at the 30%/20%/10% mark offs.

[yukafls]

Grabbed some good movies for $4.99 and $6.99

[Evil Herbivore]

Hit the Rockville, MD store tonight. The store's pretty beat up--for some reason the place was filled with people buying cameras. I guess 30% is the right price for many people.
Games are 30% off--looked in the case and saw a decent variety of 360 and PS3 games, including the Fallout 3 CE lunchbox for PS3. No accessories other than 3rd party Wii drivel, although I am kicking myself now for not checking behind the counter for any potential scores.
No consoles in sight other than 2 very beat up PS2 boxes. I don't think the store has seen a shipment in a while, yet the kid I spoke to said the store is supposed to be open until late March. He could have been blowing sunshine up my ass, however--he was more concerned with getting his iPod playing music at the register than anything else. I can't really fault him. The job's got to suck right now.

I did notice one thing--the signs up at the Rockville store now say 10-50% off. However, I couldn't find anything that was actually 50% off. Does anyone know what genre of electronic goodie is dropping that low? Could this be a sign that this particular store is going under sooner rather than later?

[wampyrii]

Reno, NV store was still pretty well stocked today. Picked up some 1600 MS point cards at 30% off and there were a few more in the cabinet. Guy said they were going fast though.

@Evil Herbivore - 50% at my local store seemed to be car audio related stuff only.

[kwey516]

i went to the one in paramus new jeresy and the where packed with games. no consoles unfortunatly.

[jerm781]

catonsville, Md 30% off games. all 360 picked up
alone in the dark $13.97-tagged $59.99
jericho $9.07-tagged $19.99
gears of war $14.99-tagged $24.99

[Ruahrc]

Now I can talk about it a little more.

All stores in Michigan, except for Ann Arbor, will be having their last open-to-the-public on Monday the 16th. My store (Madison Heights) will be selling fixtures on the 17th and 18th, and then that's it. So the discounts should be going down about every 2 or 3 days.

What's different about the Ann Arbor store? Closing earlier? Later? Already gone? I was in there maybe two weeks ago but at that point the discounts were still just 10% for games- I only picked up a couple of CDs at 20% off. I may go in tomorrow just to see what's there.

Ruahrc

[DarkZion]

Went to the Encinitas, CA store today. Wii section was picked clean to where there were no decent games and they had no controllers.

Nothing really peaked my interest in the 360 section (20% off games still marked at 59.99), no MS point cards (I asked one person if they had any and they gave me a dumb look like they had no idea what it was)

Though I did find something special, Gears of War 1 and Crackdown for 59.99. Didn't bother to see if they just hadn't been tagged in a while, so it could have been cheaper in the computer.

Just hopefully they bump the discounts up to 40+% eventually, so I'm not wasting my time driving 20 minutes there for no reason.

[Randomthts]

I went to the Plano, TX store off of Parker first thing this morning to see if it happens to be one of the restocking stores but it didn't look like it. All 1600 pt cards were gone but all other accessories for the 360 were there, PS3 accessories were wiped clean except for component cables and some 3rd party stuff and just sensor bars for the Wii.

I picked up the last copy of FF:CC and No More Heros and a couple other games and as I was checking out I saw a couple Wiis behind the counter. I asked if they had already been sold since they were on the conveyor belt but they were up for sale. I picked one up and the lady next to me grabbed the other; feeling lucky I asked if they had any 360 elites and the nice girl behind the counter said sure and walked to the back and brought one out! Based on what she told me there are a few more back there...

The store still has all the recent PS3 releases, nothing good for the PS2, many 360 games, a decent amount of DS and Wii games and a full row of PC games.

Cheers,
~R

Edit: 30% off games and acc, 20% off consoles, didn't really pay attention to anything else.

[Geek in Pink]

I called my local CC store ( Portland, OR ) this morning to see if they still had PS3's left and the lady said they only had 1. So, I rushed down there to grab it and luckily got it before anyone else did. Then as I'm walking through the store to check other stuff out, they pull out 6 more from the back. =\

Oh well, I at least got one.. was hoping to wait until they were 30% off, but 20% is good enough for me I suppose.

[topdogg069]

went to my cc for the first time since the liq sale and was nothing i was real interested in. 30% off games was tempting but the ps3 selection was slim and have a local game store with better prices for used games then the 30% off.

[etcrane]

Just FYI, I think the liquidators have been shipping in copies of the Sims 2 Deluxe (not Double Deluxe) in massive quantities to many Circuit City locations. Here's the kicker ... they ring up at $3.50 ... not a bad deal if you don't have the game. I know it was posted that someone got the Sims 2 for that price earlier, but it seems like it should be universal for these copies. The cashier who rang me up was shocked because the computer said they had 80 copies at that store alone ...

[SOLDIER]

Does the 30% cover laptops as well, or are they still only 10% off?

[yukafls]

I got a strange email from CC a while back saying prices slashed as the subject, I clicked it and clicked display images, then inside the email there were no pics but half way down there was a hyperlink that said dont click any links in this email?? Weird I know and I got another one today but I just deleted it, anyone else get this?? I signed up to get a newsletter before CC did their nationwide liquidation

[mrrepoman]

Went to the CC store in Victorville,CA games, dvd, blu rays are now 30% off. Lots of crap PS3 titles left, X360 aisle almost done, Wii and DS games almost all gone. People out here think they are getting a bargain. The place is almost picked clean except for the audio and home theater stuff.

I guess that what I get for living in an area where majority of the adults are employed either by the state, city, county, feds, or military. They know their jobs are not going anywhere aoon so they don't care too much about saving.

I will go back next week and see what happens. Hope CC has dropped to 40% by then, if not I will go try the other CC's in the area.

[Josef]

Here is my latest run from CC. I may go back for some $59.99 360 titles when they reach 50% off or more, such as Left 4 Dead, Mirrors Edge, Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant.

- Fallout 3 CE, 360: 41.99

My tax return arrived this morning, which is how I justified this spending blitz. The universe aligned this way! CC going out of business, fat tax return... who am I to argue?

Nice haul! I'm also looking for the Fallout 3 CE box and TWEWY. Also, your CC's seem to have a nice selection of used titles, including LE's. Mine just have about 30 copies of Halo 3, and not much else.

I didn't get a strange email like that, but I did get an email about slashed prices stating what is 30%, 40%, etc. This is the second one I got as well. I didn't notice a weird link at the bottom. The only link at the bottom was to unsubscribe. I also signed up for the newsletter before liquidation via the contests. The first email has already been deleted from the trash so I can't check that anymore.

[viewaskew117]

I went to two CC today. One on Sunset in Los Angeles, CA, they had some decent titles but nothing I wanted. All the games were 30% I know they had a couple Rock Band 2, GH World Tour, and a couple others for PS3 and Xbox360 didnt really check everything else.

I then went to the CC by my friends house in Buena Park, and it was a joke. Nothing that was great, but they all were 30% as well. So I ended up getting Lord of the Rings Conquest for 35.99. They ended mislabeling it for $50 instead of $60 so I said why not. I did contemplate getting Bad Company or Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Yeah, I've gone to that one a couple of times, it was picked clean a while ago. I didn't notice their price mistake on LOTR, good find.

Yeah, I got them twice, including one an hour or two before. I think they are legit links, although it sucks that citcuit city sold my email to the liquidation company. I wonder if all of a sudden we will start getting ones from other stores going out of business, no matter if they relate to our interests at all......

(But on the other hand, 15% off everything at Jo-Anne's Fabrics would be sweet :D );)

[HaLLuZiNaTiOnZ]

Anybody know what the price of Mirrors Edge is at CC? Thinking about picking it up at my CC, but want to get it for $30-$37 range.

[tyrok3k]

I too got the email about the 30% off and I've been looking at the Sony HDR-CX12 HD Camcorder which is $900msrp. So if they possibly have this at my store it will end up being $630 after the 30% off? Thats only about $50-60 off of the current price of everyone else and probably isn't worth it too me yet.

[FlamedLiquid]

sells for $59.99 normally so unless your store is doing 40% or more itll cost you over $40

[Flushola]

What's different about the Ann Arbor store? Closing earlier? Later? Already gone? I was in there maybe two weeks ago but at that point the discounts were still just 10% for games- I only picked up a couple of CDs at 20% off. I may go in tomorrow just to see what's there.

Ruahrc

I didn't hear the reason why, but the Ann Arbor store is closing later than the others. They must either be selling the best in the region, or maybe left over product from the other stores will be sent there.

Sorry, doesn't help much I know, but that's all I heard.

[hmbtnguy]

Just picked up the last two copies of Left 4 Dead 360 at my local CC (mira mesa, San Diego). All games are 30% off there.

[donssword]

I was at the Short Pump Richmond CC last night -- still plenty of games, DS, PS2, PS3, 360, Wii, same pile of GBA games they have had for years, all 30% off. No more Animal Crossing DS though :-( I watched an older couple agonize over picking up Namco Museum for the PS2, it was funny and painful all at the same time.

Still plenty of Guitar Hero and Rockband stuff, incl GH rechargeable battery packs, and GH DS.

I carried around some "Lord of the Rings Extended" boxed sets for a while, but decided to skip. They still had 2 disc editions of Ben Stiller's "Night in the Museum" marked all the way back up to $29 before discount (wtf).

I tried to buy a cheap Ninja Town DS for my kid, but they had marked it back up to $29.99 before the discount, pricing it at $20 and some change after discount--I grumbled and walked out.

[Regian]

I stopped by the Merrillville, IN CC last night. Games and accessories went to 30% off there. Scoped around for a good amount of time but didn't see anything worth picking up. All the points cards were gone, leaving only the one-month subscription cards left. One more drop on the games and I'll be more inclined to bite on something.

Consoles were 20% off, too. I'm eyeing a PSP right now, which is $135.99 with the price cut. I'll certainly be picking one up when the drop is worth it.

Other than that, just ended up snagging a 1GB Sansa Clip for $27.99. I can at least listen to some podcasts and such on the road and at work. It also records voice messages and can record FM radio, then rip it to your hard drive. Neat little feature, especially if I want to record lectures.

I would avoid making a special trip to the Canton, OH location unless you happen to be in the area. I went after work last night and it was pretty picked through. Games are now at 30% off, they did have some GTA IV and Metal Gear Solid 4's for the PS3, then a bunch of throw away games. I didn't really see much of interest in the 360 section at all. They did have a few 360's left in stock at 20% off, but no PS3's left. So I went on Dell and ordered one from there with the 20% off coupon (deal is now dead), worked out to the same price, just have to wait for it now. I didn't see any 360 or PSN point cards or XBL subscriptions. There were lots of GH sets for all of the systems, but I don't think many/any full band sets. I belive they were mostly GH:Aerosmith sets and were 20% off. There were some TV's left, but mostly really large ones, I think they were mostly at 25% off now. I didn't get a good look at the PC game section, as I don't play many PC games lately. Best of luck if you do go, let me know if there's something I should consider going back for I may have overlooked.

[oasisboy]

I am still waiting for the 40% and 50% off on some games, if they are gone, they are gone, not the end of the world.

[hershwizzle]

has anyone bought a PSN $20 or $50 card there are they discounted do they work I mean can ther liquidators activate the cards?

[1337sauce]

i was just at the Maplewood MN store yesterday. Like most stores everything was 30% off (which is still nothing to be overly excited about). but the amount of guitar hero games that were there just made my jaw drop. about two 50' walls 5 deep of guitar hero 2 and 3 bundles were still for sale. there were a bunch of world tour bundles there as well.

Hey that's the one by me! Was actually thinking of finally checking it out today, I haven't been there since the closing started. If I decide to go, I'll let you know if I find anything.

[blk00civicsi]

has anyone bought a PSN $20 or $50 card there are they discounted do they work I mean can THEIR liquidators activate the cards?

Did you choose not to read the thread? The liquidators CANNOT activate any loose cards. Your best bet is to find some that have clamshell ones still.

[jpw21683]

The Evansville, IN store is closing a week from tomorrow. They've got 40% off games (not much left) and DVDs. They must've sent all their Blu-rays to another store (bastards).

[twstd4lfe]

i was also at the short pump store in richmond and actually got vf5 new (360) for $13.67, marked $39.99 and the pre-owned copy was still about $19 so get those prices checked CAGs

i also bought the last 2 hd/wireless controller bundles for $28 each, which turned into $$$ at GS

oh and on a side note short pump CC is closing in 2 weeks

[charlescheese]

I went into my CC this week and couldn't believe the high prices. It's like they don't want to clear out the video games. Timeshift $60. That's all you need to know. There really isn't a reason to go there looking for a good deal IMO. All of accessories were totally cleared out too.

[webster]

donssword Ninja Town's msrp is $30 dollars what do mean that they " marked it up"

Weird, I went to that same store last weekend (I live in Massillon), and they literally had no games section except for PC games. I went through the entire store, but the location where all of the games used to be was gone, and they were nowhere else in the store. If they are back now, they must have moved them all to the back to be snickered or something, but they certainly were not there when I went last weekend. They did have a pretty good PC selection last week, but with all of the games being pushed back to full price anyways, after getting the discounted percentage, the prices were still higher than they used to be.

[MrBeatdown]

Anybody know what the price of Mirrors Edge is at CC? Thinking about picking it up at my CC, but want to get it for $30-$37 range.

At GameStop the used version is $44.99. Take off the combined 20% using the Edge card and the 10% off coupon and you can get it for $35 or $36.

[HuppSav]

I thought mirrors edge was 40 at target new.

I was there at 11:00 AM last Sunday (2/1/09), they had 3 aisles full of games on the right side of the store beyond the dvds, they also had piles of PS3s and some 360s (no elites or Wiis) the only accessories left were aftermarket Wii & DS crap.

[Nirron]

Which MS points work, which ones do not?

Clamshell cases are the ones able to be bought and used. Otherwise, they require activation at the register and will not activate. Basically if they're sitting there not in a shell, don't grab them.

Going to go check out my CC today. They're pretty wiped out on accessories (though I may pick up an Action Replay DS if it's still there) but maybe they have a good deal on guides/games. They have an Oblivion GOTY (guide) I might grab for $12 or so.

[TehTriggerman]

I thought mirrors edge was 40 at target newIts is. So is Quantum of Solace and a few others I can't remember.[MULTI]

[iPod Wizard]

Might stop by my CC in Houston, TX.
Laptops are still 10% I would think. -__-

[kentomaiku]

how much would the wireless adaptor cost?? for the 360 if there are any left? any one got any idea what kind of digi camera is left?

[BarbblerElf]

Anyone see any External DVD±R drives for sale. (These are for computers)


Might stop by my CC in Houston, TX.

My CC sold all but 4 laptops at 10% off within the first 3 days of the liquidation.

Anyone have any updates on the Brookfield,WI Location? I want to know before wasting a trip if its all cleaned out or still sitting at 30%
