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

[Mafiacrooks]

If possible, I'd love if you could give me an update on store status.





I may end up taking a drive down there if I have to.
I will be going there today, Ill PM you if I find points cards in stock.

[Pumapayam]

Games are officially discounted 30% now, up from 20% over the weekend.

In Houston stocks of PS3 games are dwindling fast, but Xbox 360 and Wii games are plentiful.

Video game accessories are still the same 30%.

[spamfree2]

Picked up a God of War II guide for a .01 . I had them price check a few guides and this one was the only one.

[Thwick]

Brooklyn NY: All PC and Video Games 30%. They still had a bunch of PS3 Games in glass cases. For 360 they still had GHWT and Rock Band 2 (game only), Fable 2, Soul Calibur 4, Fallout 3. Wii was pretty much cleaned out. Guides were 40% off. Computer hardware/accessories seemed 30% off. Still not enough to make me bite on anything. PC games: A ton of Gears of War, Warhammer Online, and LOTRO. They had a bunch of The Orange Box and Far Cry 2. Saw a couple collectors editions, it doesn't seem like they've sold that many PC games.

They had a bunch of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero full sets, along with just guitar sets, but I believe they were only 20-25% off.

[JSD]

Burbank, CA: I also saw that game discounts went up to 30%. I wandered around the store a bit ... I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like things are still overprice even with the going out of business discount. I'll probably check in at the end of the week to see if they're getting any more desperate to liquidate the stuff.

hey jsd~ did they still have any consoles at the burbank CC?

[EvilIA]

I don't know about that one, but last time I went to the San Diego one(National City), they had TONS of Points cards...
On Sweetwater Rd just west of 805??? Did they have wii point or 360/PS3 accessories?

[SackAttack]

Green Bay store still had a few arcade/pro's in stock. Game discount was up to 30%, but the game selection looked pretty picked over. Accessories were 30% off, but anything for Rock Band and Guitar Hero was specifically 20% off. Stopped me from buying the Mad Catz bass, alas.

[guyver2077]

fuck..

i just realized I had $30 in rewards to redeem online.. I should of redeemed alot earlier. I redeemed them now but i wonder if i will even get it. I wish they would just let you print them online.

[Inf^Shini]

hey jsd~ did they still have any consoles at the burbank CC?
I'll check it out on the way back home, hopefully I find something to pick up to make it worth my while ^_^

[Nelstone]

plz lmk if there are ps3's left and how much off cause i have a friend down there and i would make him go get me one and then pay him for it! thanks

Nope, no PS3's in stock as of today, 2/10/09. They didn't know if any more are coming in.

[Anexanhume]

So, games 30% off means consoles 30% off as well?

[bjkrautk]

Was in Green Bay over the weekend, and managed to pick up Chrono Trigger for the DS @ 30% off. Also picked up a copy of WoW: WotLK for a friend at the same price.

As of Saturday night, the store still had a decent selection of 360 and PS3 games; Wii and DS were much more picked-over. FWIW, I don't remember seeing a single HDTV priced under $1,000.

(If you want to buy something other than video games / CDs / DVDs, don't expect most of the items in the store to have price tags....which makes it really difficult to calculate discounted prices.)

[dragonjud]

A big 'meh' for the Whitestone store today. Nothing's changed, and nobody is buying games at 30% off. They need to accelerate the game discounts, if they hope to sell any of them.

[JSD]

hey jsd~ did they still have any consoles at the burbank CC?

I didn't see any in obvious spots. There were a ton of accessories like Wii remote jackets and Wii Fit yoga mats. I think they have a bunch of GH3 bundles as well. That may be one of the only deals worthwhile there, IMO.

[jiggyteddy]

A big 'meh' for the Whitestone store today. Nothing's changed, and nobody is buying games at 30% off. They need to accelerate the game discounts, if they hope to sell any of them.

Thanks for the update on that one. Anyone check out the Rego Park CC?

[futbolplaya934]

Nope, no PS3's in stock as of today, 2/10/09. They didn't know if any more are coming in.

thank you very much! guess i missed out and will have to wait till the price drops in April hopefully so i can get Killzone 2...i wish CC would get Killzone 2 and it would be 30% off right away! that would be sweet!

[Tohfoo]

Anyone know if gift cards are still accepted? I'm aware that they were when the liquidation started, but I wasn't sure if they changed any policies.

[wildnuts02]

i was very tempted at picking up Resistance 2 at 30% off but it just wasn't enough...i feel like i can hold out longer or that it'll drop somewhere else for less

[depascal22]

There are plenty of Resistance 2 at my store. It's the one game that everyone is holding off. That and the new Animal Crossing.

[Maniacmous]

Since my store is closing in a few days, they had games yesterday at 40%, including Resistance 2 (one of only a couple newer games left).

[Guy Legend]

I'm tempted on Resistance 2 also. Once games hit 40% off, I'll hit up my CC and see what's left. I might even be tempted on an XB360 if they have any pros and the hardware drops to 30%.

Also by chance did anyone see any ipods left in their stores? I may have to check that out too.

[gi60]

Anybody see a PS3 in SoCal area?

[mundione]

Anyone know if gift cards are still accepted? I'm aware that they were when the liquidation started, but I wasn't sure if they changed any policies.


As far as I know they will be accepted until the end of liquidation.

[Despacio]

Picked up the last 2 Fallout 3 Lunchbox editions for PS3 at $41 each for my cousin and me, as well as two copies of Burnout Paradise for us at $14 each. Cannot wait for the Back to the Future delorean car homage download content to come out.

Also got Marvel Scene It! Deluxe Tin Edition for $7.

No point cards or any notable accessories other than a bunch of Wiispeaks at the Circuit City in Tucson, AZ on Broadway.

[appleyum]

When will 40% off begin?

[EvilIA]

No iPod. It also seems that they will be subject to a 10% ceiling for the liquidators. I had asked if they would be getting some back in later, they said no. The CC near me, they lasted about 3 days at 10%.

[aznguyen316]

picked up L4D for like $37 after 30% PC discount yesterday, didn't want to wait longer lol

[Lawyers Guns N Money]

I got Rock Band 2 for the Wii for like $37. Was glad to get a discount on it, since it hasn't been on sale anywhere...

[evilmregg]

A history of the price of the Guitar Hero III bundle at the Circuit City in Holland, MI:
Day One - Clearance priced at $39.99
Two days later - The price is raised to $47.99
Today - I go back in and find the price has been raised again to $71.99

That's some liquidation sale!

[DKYang]

When will 40% off begin?
If not this week, then probably next week. It all depends on when they plan to shut down the store.

[Phalanx024]

I just went to the Burbank, CA CC in hopes of finding a PS3. There were none and when I asked an employee, she said no new shipments were coming in. :cry:
There are still some Xbox 360 Pro and Elite bundles there at 20% off. Video game accessories are wiped out. At least, I was able to pick up the last copy of Skate 1 for $21.

[Thedrknss48]

Anybody see a PS3 in SoCal area?

Around the OC, I have not seen any PS3's are Wii's. I have seen PSPs, but now they're all gone. Doesn't look they'll be restocking on anything anytime soon, it's becoming a baron wasteland in Fullerton off Orangethorpe.

[gordojones88]

My CC is absolutely packed full of games, controllers, point cards, and consoles. They are receiving shipments daily. I'm just waiting for the 40% games and accessories so the prices will be like what other stores usually have on sale.

same here

what part of TN are you from? im from knox

[serenitygod]

There not really going to go out of bussiness not my circuit city it is an ingenous marketing ploy in which they will eat all the money and come back stronger!

evilmregg. That is how it is supposed to work. I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. Allow me to explain myself,
raising prices and little customer service is just the way they have been doing it for years. Just because they are going out of business doesn't mean that plan hasn't work I mean common! They are just informing the liquidators of their solid bussiness plan.
How could you not see that? dang!

[Inf^Shini]

....what?

[supershammy]

Come on, don't be a dick. He wanted to know how much a PS3 is now in the LA area, don't pretend like you didn't know that.

The answer is that they are probably 20% off, if you can find any anywhere, which is very unlikely.

[Inf^Shini]

Oh you hush, just because I ask for better grammar doesn't mean I'm being a dick, I'm just heckling the guy :)

Btw, make sure to ask the associate at the front desk to see if they have PS3's behind the counter or in the back, chances are they do.

[Shady07]

So i went to circuit city today and i over heard an employee telling a customer that someone had broken all the laptop screens, so i walked over to the laptop section and yup all the screens were busted

[s2k]

i hope pc games hit that 50% off soon i reallly want to stack them up

[Inf^Shini]

So i went to circuit city today and i over heard an employee telling a customer that someone had broken all the laptop screens, so i walked over to the laptop section and yup all the screens were busted
That's pretty fucked up. Did it look like they took a hammer to it all? I'm actually surprised they didn't go after the HDTV's :o

[Drkirby]

So i went to circuit city today and i over heard an employee telling a customer that someone had broken all the laptop screens, so i walked over to the laptop section and yup all the screens were busted
Bet you a guy he is parterning up with comes in, buys them all dirt cheap, and just replaces the screens.

[Malice]

My CC in Frederick, MD on Buckeystown Pike has NOTHING. No points cards of any kind for any of the systems, terrible selection of games, and some of the prices for things are hiked WAY above retail.

I have a request: Would ANY kind CAG be willing to pick me up some cheap MS 360 points cards? I'll pay for the tax and shipping, but I would not like the total cost to be more than $11-$12.

[btt]

Picked up the last Fallout 3 CE (360) for $41.99 in Honolulu, HI CC.

They might be gone. I know the store in Green Bay, WI was stocked to the gills with them when liquidation started, but even though I was told there was no discount on them, those cards are long gone now.

[blackhole82]

i went to my circuit city today and everything was pretty picked over. discount was like 20% so i don't see what all the fuss is about. they had a copy of seinfeld season 9 i thought about getting for 30% off of $40, but that didn't seem like that good of a deal to me after you add in tax. amazon's prices are about that or better all the time. all the points cards were gone :/

[Thedrknss48]

Circuit City in Orange, Buena Park, Fullerton, La Habra, and Brea are all slim pickings. Some have a bit of games left, but they're all moving the shelves closer to the front.

I think my CC runs are over now until the prices drop more and I'll see if theres any games I want. I was hoping to get a DS3 at 40%, but those are all gone. If anyone finds a CC in SoCal with DS3s in stock, I'd appreciate a head ups!

[anumeric]

I didn't see any in obvious spots. There were a ton of accessories like Wii remote jackets and Wii Fit yoga mats. I think they have a bunch of GH3 bundles as well. That may be one of the only deals worthwhile there, IMO.

thanks for the reply~
i guess no ps3's in the socal area...

[angsto2]

I stopped at the Northtown Circuit City in MN and was surprised to see how picked over it was.
I asked the guy I usually would BS with about games and he told me that the liquidator was shipping a lot of good stuff to other stores in the area, specificaaly the Southdale store. So a lot of stuff I was waiting on is gone. I'm going to miss that store, I got a ton of great deals there and even bought 2 HDTVs from them.

[dys006]

A history of the price of the Guitar Hero III bundle at the Circuit City in Holland, MI:
Day One - Clearance priced at $39.99
Two days later - The price is raised to $47.99
Today - I go back in and find the price has been raised again to $71.99
That's some liquidation sale!

Yeah, pretty weak. I was there the other day, nothing much good. Lots of stuff where you could still see the old lower price tag under the "Clearance" tag. Zune skins at "original retail" of $35?! Please. I did get an Okami for $13.99 though.

[Marat]

CC in Sam Mateo, CA has dozens of PS3's in stock, they're only %20 off right now, any ideas when they'll be at least %30?

[gordojones88]

I was going to see if some CAGS wanted some when and if accessories goes to 40% off.
My store has racks full of 1600 MS point cards in clampshells, hundreds of them.
With the current 30% off, they are $14 + 9.25% tax = $15.30
If they drop to 40%, they would be $13.11
That's without shipping, or paypal fees, and who knows what other charges I get hit with.
I've considering emailing the codes, but that's yet more problems.
Hence why I haven't offered before.
It sounds like a lose-lose for me.

[KingofGames]

According to other CAG's, those points cards are not valid unless they are in the clampshell.

bella terra in OC had DS3's like 30 of them a couple of days ago

[jubeininja69]

i might go this weekend. its time for me to rape the games section at 40% off.

[Thedrknss48]

bella terra in OC had DS3's like 30 of them a couple of days ago


Where exactly is that one? I might check it out, I think the 3 day weekend really did a number on CCs.

Also, if it can be confirmed they still have some, it would save me a trip coming back empty handed. Thanks!

[gantt]

CC in Sam Mateo, CA has dozens of PS3's in stock

Or did. Thanks to you, they've all been bought by some hoarder. Probably named Sam Mateo. Well, you needn't worry about if or when the next drop will happen now. :roll:

[flatliner718]

The circuit city in middletown NY is essentially dead. I mean they tarped over a lot of the aisles and condensed the place to only a couple of rows. I mean for the most part its just a lot of Display HDTV's for sale. I'd like to know when they'd mark down again only due to a ihome alarm clock/stereo for my zune (i figure that won't be selling anytime soon) I mean at the price they got it at now its still way above what I can get it at other places.

That usually means you will not get any further discounts on anything that's covered. It will be shipped to a different store that is actually selling their items.

[Flushola]

We (Madison Heights, MI) just sent out our remaining 50-ish TV's to the Ann Arbor store. That's the only store in Michigan staying open past the Feb. 16th end date. Why? No freakin' idea.

Looks like for MI, this week will be another week of Thursday/Sunday price drops, with 2 or maybe 3 price drops happening on the 16th, when there will be nothing left. We have no games left, some blu ray's, very few game accessories.

[geosooner]

I hit the east side Madison, WI store and it was a shit storm of clutter/debris. Most smaller tvs were gone and the games were a clusterfuck so it was hard to tell what was left. No points cards, no ps3, saw 2 x360's and really no accessories except wiimote silicone covers and remotes for ps3's

[InvaderZim]

Not much going on at the stores in Brevard County / Florida either... not sure how they will get another month and a half out of this.

Head to the Madison West location. There are probably 40 PS3s stacked on either end of the gaming section (20 per side), and a ton of 360 arcade units under the 360 shelves. I think the 80GB PS3s are around $350 and the arcade 360s are at $140. There's also all the GH:WT you can eat for every platform (but no RB2). I'm probably going to try to snag an Onkyo606 for $150 off.

[inluvwAgamer4o9]

im new here so forgive if this has been asked b4 but i have been thru a 3 week ordeal w/circut city & xboxlive idiots about the points cards i bought at the circut city store...they dont work...nobody wants to man up and give me my points or $$$ back...did anybody else have this problem and what did they do about it???? im tired of dealing w/this:drool: = like xbox live cant spare 800 points...fuk3rs

[Flushola]

Just got back from work. Games and movies
Went down to 50% today, blu ray still at 40%.

I've noticed those Verge accessories en masse at various Circuit Cities I've hit recently. Funny thing, I don't remember CC carrying them before the liquidation...

[S0DA POPINSKI]

Went to CC in Albany NY. No MK vs DC or 360 accessories like I was looking for. No other systems other then 360's also. The had a bunch of games, but the discount didnt seem worth it. Once they go 40% off I may go pick up a few

[gryphter]

Just got back from work. Games and movies
Went down to 50% today, blu ray still at 40%.

Oh snap, this is the % off I've been waiting for. Where are you located? Blu rays have been at 30% in my locations. I'll be stopping by my local CC after work today hoping for discounts like yours.

[Idx86]

50%, eh? I'll be swinging by today.

[silent h3ro]

[PopcornBandit]

50%? I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

[Pojomofo]

The Boise CC has been pretty good about getting new stuff. I always see a bunch of Wii/Wii Fits sitting behind the counter, usually have 1600 XBL point cards. Have most of the newer games it seems.

I just wish I could find a 12 month XBL subscription card. THAT would be sweet

[Idx86]

Would the 50% extend to systems as well? If so, I'd buy a $100 Arcade. I wonder if what they have are Jaspers...

[snowmint]

Is the 50% at every CC confirmed? I want to head out to one thats 40 mins away from my home. I want tobe inside a CC at least one time before they close down for good.

[Arakias]

Not much going on at the stores in Brevard County / Florida either... not sure how they will get another month and a half out of this.

They get restocks of stuff in. When % off went to 30 all the Wii games were gone except a handful, then the next day, it was restocked with em. Maybe they took them off the floor for a short bit though, who knows.
Also, I think the % off is YMMV because it isnt yet 50% on games for me.

[derspiess]

Hence why I haven't offered before.
It sounds like a lose-lose for me.

Yeah, I was going to say, the post is essentially asking someone to go out of their way to take a loss. Can't imagine anyone doing that.

[sp00ge]

Is the 50% at every CC confirmed? I want to head out to one thats 40 mins away from my home. I want tobe inside a CC at least one time before they close down for good.

I bet it's YMMV, as my store hasn't even hit 40% yet, so I doubt it would jump to 50%.

I'm probably going to try to snag an Onkyo606 for $150 off.

I was at the Madison West CC on Tuesday night. They had about 70 PS3's in 4 different locations around the video game secion (Two piles in the isles, one endcap and under the PS3 games). All PS3's were the 80 GB version and were $319.99. They also had a bunch of Xbox 360 Pro's for $239.99 under the 360 games. I heard an associate tell a customer that there were a few XBOX 360 Arcades left in the back. Quite a few games were left, but many were either $59.99 or unmarked, making the 30% discount either not great enough or tough to calculate. They had several RB2 stand-alone drums for the 360 and several RB2 stand-alone guitars for the 360 and PS3, but no RB2 band kits. All GH and RB2 stuff was 20% off, except for the stand-alone games - those were 30% off in the games section.

[jwilson25]

I've noticed those Verge accessories en masse at various Circuit Cities I've hit recently. Funny thing, I don't remember CC carrying them before the liquidation...

They had them before. I got a drum stool and mic stand for 50% off prior to Christmas.

[rodieremix]

Yeah, my store was at 30% yesterday so I'm not holding my breath.

[cametall]

Anyone been to the Sawgrass store in Florida? Two weeks ago games were 30%, they had a lot of older stuff, nothing new, except Prince of Persia. Lots of console accessories.

Wondering if they're at 50% yet.

[guardkitty]

All the good stuff for 360 is gone but I've noticed lots of Saints Row 2 SEs. I bit on the 360 wireless adapter just in case lol , is your name from the local pojo arcade in the area?

[gryphter]

They had them before. I got a drum stool and mic stand for 50% off prior to Christmas.

I'm looking for a cheap stool and possibly mic stand. Are the ones you got any good? I'll keep an eye out for them next visit to CC

[buckythekat]

it's odd, I live in Richmond where Circuit City was headquartered and none of the stores in the area seem to be getting restocked at all

[sp00ge]

You know, based on what I'm seeing here, it appears the merchandise is migrating northward, towards the border. I know this defies the procedure of a liquidation, but are the chances of unsold merchandise being sent to CC's still-existent Canadian sector?

Just enough conspiracy theory, I guess.

Not to bust your bubble, but I am in the Chicago area and nothing is being restocked

[twstd4lfe]

the stores here are "underperforming" according to the liquidators....my friend tells me both the short pump and gaskins store will be gone very soon (2 weeks)

[sp00ge]

Not to bust your bubble, but I am in the Chicago area and nothing is being restocked

By north, I mean Michigan and Wisconsin, which are getting stuff from other stores. Like I said, it's more of a conspiracy theory than anything. I'm in no way saying there's something fishy going on, just an observation.

[killerthrust]

its in huntington beach. exit beach blvd. its right on beach and edinger.

[kaydigi]

I agree, Chesterfield Towne Center has not been restocked at all. It's beyond depressing. Does the North Side have any 360 points cards or COD 4?

[kaydigi]

[ackbar7]

Picked up Resistance 2 CE for 42 +tax yesterday. Seemed like a pretty good deal

[blackhole82]

Picked up Resistance 2 CE for 42 +tax yesterday. Seemed like a pretty good deal

I was looking to pick up Resistance 2 as well but my store only had the regular marked at 20% off of $60. $48 did not seem like that good of deal to me.

[EvilIA]

I bet it's YMMV, as my store hasn't even hit 40% yet, so I doubt it would jump to 50%.

Not to defend "Flushola", but he works at the MI stores that are closing early, their last day is the 16th. It would seems that his deals so far are applicable to those store that might be closing early, or only in MI. Wasn't it said early on that the liquidation was being handled by 4 liquidators, so it's bee YMMV all this time for the deals.

I still appreciate his input.

Yeah, I was just clarifying it for those who are virtually crapping themselves at the sight of 50%. Some people don't read the whole thread and it seems that when they see the number, they think it's universal.

[Pojomofo]

All the good stuff for 360 is gone but I've noticed lots of Saints Row 2 SEs. I bit on the 360 wireless adapter just in case lol , is your name from the local pojo arcade in the area?

LOL, no i bet most people think that.

I actually grew up in Portland and relocated here, I have been using that name for years and was pretty suprised to see a "Pojo's" arcade in Boise

The name is actually an obscure video game reference froman N64 game called "Mace: the Dark Ages" Its a fighting game that has a secret character that is a chicken named Pojo.

[madara]

Colored me confused. I think I live in another dimension, my CC in SE Wisconsin is still at 30 percent off for games and dvds and lower on the big stuff. Boy did alot folks get suckered I did the math and nothing was better or equal to internet sites and nearly all the game section is gone. I'm tempted to open a mom and pop and just have a huge sign saying out of business with 20 percent off MSRP year around.

[rmb]

I think restocks are more by region. There is no way they are shipping stuff around the country. Maybe if it's stuff in their wharehouse, but not from 1 store to another 10 states away. Though, the restocks to the north may just be because we have more fools willing to take crappy discounts off overpriced stuff. I'm waiting to check again tomorrow for a drop to 40 or 50% to pick up a network adapter. Grabbed 3 1600 pt cards today. If they drop tomorrow I am buying any left on the shelf. Lots of controllers for 360 and some dualshocks as well in mn.

[BMoD]

Anyone in the Silver Spring, MD area know if any Circuit City stores are still open? I drove by the one in Beltsville today and it's closed. Just wondering =)

[martind35]

BMoD ,

The one by Arundel Mills is still open. I was there Saturday and they had a decent pile of games left at 30% off.

[spdiscus]

Went to Madison, WI West at lunch today. Still a fair amount of games. Games and movies are still 30% off. Systems are 20% off with several 360 Premiums and 80GB PS3s. I snagged the last 360 Rock Band 2 that someone tucked in the middle of a Saints Row stack, so I'm happy. They still have all the RB components (80 for drums, 55 for wireless guitar), but no software.
The guy behind the counter said he expects them to close around the end of March.

I was there too over lunch. Still not sure if I want to pull the trigger on a PS3 for $319.99. They had quite a few left. Maybe 50-60 total. If they go below $300, then I"m sold for sure. Do you recall when the software went from 20% off to 30% off or the systems from 10% to 20% off? I'm hoping for 30% off systems and 40% off software. What day do they make the switch?

[msu89dawgs]

The Jackson, MS store had a sign on it when I went a couple of days ago saying that it would be closing in 7 days. Very few big-ticket items left, the best deals were on some NIB speakers and 5.1 systems.

[Richard Longfellow]

[commandercody83]

Hit the St. Peters, MO Circuit City at lunch today hoping for a few deals but didn't find much. Everything was at least 25 percent off from what I could tell. I only really dug through the games, movies, and music.

Regret passing on Just Cause for 360 @ 30% off $12.96

But I did get on DVD:
Judge Dredd $6.99
King of Kong:FFOQ $15.xx

Saw a lot that I wanted but don't have the money right now. May go back in a week or so and see if they upped the percent off.

To me, for a store that is liguidating.... they had a lot left. Problem is, it's all just kinda tossed onto the racks so you just have to go through it a bit at a time.

And, if you go... tell me if it still smells like body odor. Ick.

[sgaldis]

hrmmm....THANKS for all the updates fellas...I will have to go by today to see whats up in my area as I will jump on a few accessories as soon as they drop to that 70 -80 range (depending on how many I see left).

[Methadon]

I went by mine the other day; didn't seem to be any good deals (systems seemed long gone). Looked through the computer section and I couldn't believe the horrible deals. The one thing I was considering was a radeon hd 2600 pro (AGP), and it was marked $199 (cashier said it was about $130, tho). Still, I could get it from Tiger Direct for about $70, and seems to have an average retail of up to $140.

Oh well.

[time2roleplay]

Went to the cc in Agusta ME. today. games are still 30% off and you can take this for what it's worth but the employee there said that THURSDAY is when they will get there next % mark downs. but he did not know how much or on what. I tend to believe him because there last mark downs were anounced on a friday.he also told me that the Bangor and Agusta stores will not get restocked. only one getting restocked is the Portland store. I will be calling them first to see if I was getting the stright poop before wasteing gas on over priced games. here is one last tip, if you don't see the game you want in the video game isle go to the dvd isle bescause I must have seen 20 video games hidden there. was tempted to put some of them back but now that I know where there hidden I might just grab 1or 2 if the % go up.

Video cards in general tend to have better prices at online stores like newegg, zipzoomfly, or tigerdirect than compared to B&M stores.

[DemonCurse]

Anybody know how NYC is looking?

[biledriver]

you guys are lucky, still 20% off games in albany ny as of last night

[gryphter]

Went to Exton, PA and Berwyn, PA again. Games are still 30% off. Take note that it really pays to actually flip through the stacks of the games because I found several misplaced/hidden titles, including a copy of Burnout Paradise 360. Retails for $20, after tax I ended up paying $15.

[sdpads19]

Is it worth jumping on an xbox 360 @ 20% off now (either arcade or pro). Just curious what ppl's thoughts are as there are some available at my local CC. thoughts???

[sonix]

games are still 30% off in Orlando (as of last week really). Saw at least 50 copies of Resistance 2 available. Went through the racks and found out there was still 1 copy of Uncharted left. Most of the good games are gone though.

YES! Its already the cheapest you can find new. Even cheaper than from Dell. Since there is a chance of a markdown soon, why not try going in tomorrow and see?

Thanks, will do. I'll post inventory numbers at that location as well for any locals.

[Ragnar]

I think that is what I will try on Thursday with the PS3. If it gets marked down on Thursday then I win. If not, then I will get it for 20% off, which is a decent deal right now. Even though they have quite a few, I'm not sure that the systems will last through the weekend. If I find a PS3 even cheaper later, it will go on Ebay to subsidize the first one.

[FBMrider86]

Isn't the Gaskins location the oldest one in Richmond? I figured it would outlast the one at VCC, but the Short Pump one...wow.

[el swordo]

whatcha guys think i should pick up a second 360 @ 20%off?

[Josef]

Games are still 30% off at the Springfield, PA store. Not much left game-wise but I managed to pick up:

Final Fantasy III (DS) - $6.97
S.L.A.I. (PS2) - $3.47

I was just in the Springfield store a couple of nights ago, and they still seemed pretty well stocked. Maybe not the great deals that you snagged, but if the % goes down another 20 or so %, then there will be some really great deals to be had. I still saw some newer titles like Resistance II, COD World at War, etc. Also TONS of PS3 dualshocks and GHWT bundles.

Are you the one that hid that copy of Resistance 2 in with the PC games? ;)

[dabamus]

If anyone is looking for a cheap 360, on Amazon's warehouse deals site, they have Elites for $300, Arcades for $160, and Pros w/60GB for $240. Most of them are just open box with a dinged up box, and no damage to the 360 itself.

[salparadise78]

Are you the one that hid that copy of Resistance 2 in with the PC games? ;)
Never, I don't do that kind of stuff. :D I would forget where I put it if I resorted to those kind of tactics, considering how many CC I used to hit up.

Actually, I think I saw it in the glass case. Don't you go hiding the good ones now. I'm usually very impatient when looking for games, in & out, but now I guess I might need to snoop a little the next time I hit up the DE CC :drool:

I didn't see the glass case at the Springfield store but maybe I didn't look hard enough. It appeared they moved all the games to a section where some of the DVD's used to be. Where the games used to be, well, they filled that area with accessories. I've never seen so many in my life. None of the good ones like the points cards though.

I didn't have too much luck with the DE CC's though. The last thing I picked up was a copy of the Fallout 3 CE (360) for $41.99. It was the only one I've seen at the DE stores (though I saw several PS3 CE's).

[Evil Shadow Ninja]

has anyone been to the warrington, pa one lately? ive been trying to them to ask some questions, but the line is always busy?

[hasiwana]

Games are still at 30% in Bellingham, WA. The small glass case is gone however, so all those newer PS3/Xbox games (Resistance 2, Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge) are no longer protected by a locked case and disinterested employees. The Wii and DS sections are picked over and there aren't many accessories to speak of, but there was a large box of Dualshock 3 controllers ($43). There are four copies of the Fallout 3 LE. Bluray still 30% off also.

Just waiting for that 40%.

[Maniacmous]

Games are 50% in St. Clairsville, OH (pretty much the only good ones left are Resistance 2 and Fallout 3 (regular edition and lunch tin), both for PS3.

[anderson4145]

[Inf^Shini]

Damn, the Burbank CC is really picked clean, just a buttload of Guitar Hero stuff

[bill123]

Guys Id wait till tomorrow for those systems they may drop to 25% and games at stores already at 30 will move up to 40. I saw the drops for my store and thats what will happen to us. As always though YMMV on the percentages.

[airdino23]

There is still quite a bit of stuff at the Long Beach CA store on Bellflower.
Grab Resistance 2.

They still had a bunch of collector's editions of Saints Row, GTA4 and Soul Caliber.

Most of the open box items (stereos and TVs) were still more expensive than just buying new on Amazon.

[1969iggy]

The deals suck here. TVs are still more than new on Amazon... and a guy there said anything worth a darn would be shipped off to other stores or back to the compant that CC owes money to (sony especially i guess). 20-25% for LCDs and 30% for Plasmas (from MSRP) was as good as it was going to get. Too bad. If I could get a Samsung LN46A630 for $1200 out the door i'd have bought one, and that isn't too far from what Amazon has them at (a few hundred bucks is a big deal to me, but to the liqudators? I don't see the liqudating anything....)

As far as games, the guy i was with said that other than Xbox 360s for $240 with kingfu panda and Lego Indian Jones, and Elites for $320 (but no extra games) there were no deals. The 60 Gig for $240 isn't even that good when you can get a deal on dell with Tom Clancy End War for $260.

[RelentlessRolento]

I hope someone else in SoCal who finds DS3s would be kind enough to give me a heads up!

If anyone happens to pop into the Rockville, MD store tomorrow (Thursday), could current % and possibly and info on restocking be posted? I'd love to do it myself, but tomorrow's going to be a busy day for me, coupled with having to pack the baby up and head over there...I just can't see it being feasible.

BTW, has anyone in noticed if the Rockville store is being restocked? It's looking more and more sparce in there.

Ahh nothing like a system that fell off a pallet. I know someone who got a broken PS3 as a result of just a box dent. Amazon just refunded it instead of giving him a new one.

I stopped at the Roseville, MN store this afternoon; no new percentage off, still 30% for games and DVDs. It looks like Roseville and Bloomington (Southdale)stores are getting the lions share from the other local stores merchandise. They just got in a bunch of MS Live 1600 point cards (30% off $13.99).

I last went to the Warrington store on Saturday. What questions did you have, I can try to help...

is there anything good at warring store in PA still, i'll be there next weekend

I went last Saturday and they were still 30% off games/CD's/DVD's (They had a fair amount of games as well, for all systems, even saw a few Fallout Special Editions), I remember the only iPod's they had were 8GB Nano's (since my friend was looking for a Shuffle), Pre-owned games were 40%, Accessories were 30% (they has almost no accessories for 360 or PS3, but they had a ton of PS2 controllers, some PSP and NDS accessories), also, I'm not 100% sure on this, my memory might be foggy but I -might- have seen 30% off Guitar Hero/Rock Band accessories. I could be wrong, because it used to be 20%, so don't quote me on the GH/RB stuff...

[frankstudent]

My 2 stores in the Dayton, OH area will be closing doors this weekend. All of the games are long gone. CD and DVD's are 40% off though.

There are a few strategy guides left for 40% off. Gonna go this weekend and pay my last respects.

Fuuuuuuuuuu, I don't wanna try and navigate rush hour to get to the Roseville store after work tomorrow :cry:

Maybe they'll still have some point cards on Friday...That, or I could check the Southdale store again since its on my way back home from work (since I do every week anyway;))

[Thedrknss48]

There were probably 30 DS3s at the one in Fashion Island. This was about a week and a half ago.


A week and a half ago means probably sold out. If you ever stop by there again soon, I'd appreciate the update. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I'd rather save on gas and time.

[Frythan]

Anyone have any idea when computers will be dropping significantly in price there? I went the other day and the discount wasn't very good

[ferant316]

I asked today and they said Circuit City will be closing complete in 4-6 weeks. BTW they are taking applications for a temporary job. LOL.....

I laughed at the now hiring thing as well until I started thinking about it, I used to be a part-time manager at an apparel store which I hated. I've been looking into getting into electronics sales, have had a couple interviews (shift leader for electronics department at Sears, commissioned sales position at Best Buy) and both were scared away by lack of experience in electronics.

With the job market the way it is my 6 years of retail experience isn't something people will jump for anymore, they want specific experience in the job they'd hire me for. Circuit City is desperate for people, I could get a job there a couple days a week, get some experience (doubt enough though), and get first dibs on deals there as percentages increase.

And to be on-topic, just got off the phone with my friend from the inside. He knows percentages are going up for the weekend he thought it was Friday, but said if other stores are his probably is as well. That would be the Leominster, MA store.

[J Bling Blang]

Is this 40 percent on both games and assecesories? Also, what will be the %off on consoles?

[Ravenous]

I just came from one and everything, even consoles are 30% off.... so if that 40% is true, maybe the consoles will do the same? I think Id get an XBox arcade for that.

[sweepy76]

I went to the Downers Grove, IL after work and everything was pretty much the same:
dvd's/music cd's/all games/game accessories = 30%
tv's = 20%
pc's = 10%
didn't see anymore consoles but they did have a bunch of ds's, pink and black/red.

But as i was leaving I overheard a customer at the checkout line talking with the cashier and he asked the cashier when the tv's were going to 50%. He didn't know when they would be 50% but he said that tomorrow the tv's would go to 30%. So I'm hopng other things (games) will go to 40% (or higher)!!!!

[el swordo]

i went earlier all games where 30% and they said 360s where 20% off which i contemplated getting a second but couldn't justify.

[THAGEN]

Very strange - the CC in OKC has all games at 50% (and I picked up Fallout 3 CE and GTA 4 PC) The XBL 4K card was 60% off. Looks like some items were being marked down to 70%, but I'm not sure what was being dropped ( the redshirt was walking the new tags). All gameguides and candy are also 60% off. Happy shopping!

[karmapolice]

I picked up assassins creed "preowned" for 6 bucks today. Also got star wars trilogy for 25. I love that circuit city is going down.

[jebnaut]

Woah, damn! The 4k cards are 60% off?! Can I, like, Paypal you some cash to get 2 of them, or something?

NONE! Absolutely NONE that I found cheaper than online. No wonder they are going away.

i think they're doing that on purpose. they've had pretty good clearances on games since they've been in business.. it's just they're trying to milk everyones' wallet for as much as they can before they close all of their stores. they do this by marking up prices, then "discounting" them off at a percentage of the marked up price.

So I'm guessing we're going to be starting to see a major rift forming in the next few days between the stores that are shutting down in 10 days or less, and the one's that will be staying open until mid-March. Should be interesting to see, but I'm guessing that alot of the deals will become more and more YMMV as the 4 different liquidators start wrapping up in certain areas ... but I'm still holding out for a 40% drop come tomorrow

[monkeydoodle]

yukafls - yesterday I was able to use a gift card, but this could be YMMV

Confirmed, I used a gift card today at the CC in Tustin, CA.

This is a joke topic, right?
Come on...this has got to be a joke topic. :evil:

I second this

[ricoraney]

i bet this dude works for circuit city! cuz there aren't many deals at circuit city right now that aren't cheaper online..
I beg to differ. I think it is just a matter of which location you shop at. I know the one near me are still getting shipments of Wii's and Wii Fits! And tomorrow everything drops to 40% off. If they have Wii's tomorrow I will pick up one or two. At $150 a pop. You can't beat that.

My buddy & I went to two different Circuit Cities one in Springfield, PA and one in DE. PA was cleaned out basically of anything useful video game wise or nothing we didn't have. It had typical stuff Halo 3, Gears 1 & 2, Fable 2...stuff we already own. We were shocked to see ONE copy of Left 4 Dead and Fallout III Limited Editions behind the counter. I picked up a play & charge for $14.83 (that's including tax). Not bad I guess. ($17.99 on Amazon my go to price checker so saved a couple bucks) I really wanted a copy of Oblivion Game of the Year Edition so I asked if he wanted to make the 15 min trip to DE. Sure why not. There video game selection was HUGE, but None literally no accessories or consoles but again all stuff we owned already or didn't want. I was pretty disappointed and so I picked up Overlord for 13.99 (No tax in DE.) ($19.99 on Amazon). I did briefly debate taking the only copy of Mirrors Edge, but ultimately decided not to. Neither had MS Live points. :(

[xxtheycallmedxx]

definitely a joke....

[wizzyx3]

April Fool's is here already?

[filanime03]

I bet this guy is one of the liquidators. Good job bro you get promoted today for recommending how great the deals are in circuit city.

[gordojones88]

I want my three-fiddy!

[CloverField06]

Whut!

[sp00ge]

WTF? Who merged threads? Shrike? Linkin? Either way, I'm not cleaning this one up. :lol:

[kart007k]

any good deal at woodbridge, NJ stores.

[yukafls]

Wait, Im confused, did a page just appear?? A couple pages back mentioned 60% off 4000 point cards, anyone else confirm??

Very strange - the CC in OKC has all games at 50% (and I picked up Fallout 3 CE and GTA 4 PC) The XBL 4K card was 60% off. Looks like some items were being marked down to 70%, but I'm not sure what was being dropped ( the redshirt was walking the new tags). All gameguides and candy are also 60% off. Happy shopping!

Woah, damn! The 4k cards are 60% off?! Can I, like, Paypal you some cash to get 2 of them, or something?

Man!

I'm beating a dead horse into a pulp, but again: "they" that ran CC stores pre-liquidation is different than the "they" that are running the liquidation. The stores are all run by liquidators. Rag on them all you want, but they and their policies have little if any relation to Circuit City's pre-liquidation management and their policies.

[postaboy]

hell yea bitches! I got me a nikon d90 body for $449.99+tax out the door.

[DragoonerKain]

The Circuit City in Bel Air, MD still has a good amount of stuff, including games of all varieties, but no consoles or controllers or the like (so much for getting a nunchuk on the cheap). There is also a ton of Guitar Hero/Rock Band stuff.

I also found a good deal for World of Warcraft. I snagged the retail box copy (for the serial) for 13.99, as well as a 60 Day Prepaid card for 20.99. 37.88 total so I ended up saving around 15 bucks. Probably about as good a deal as you're gonna get on WoW (wish I waited until today though to make it even less).

When the discounts go over 50% I'll probably go pick up a copy of the Burning Crusade.

[erehwon]

So is it today or tomorrow that percent off increases again? I want to be at my CC early that day to hit up the psp section. The psp section at mine was still at 20% last week.

[WatchdogXC]

I'd love to pick up a cheap PSP for some remote play.

I -think- it was Thursday that the prices dropped.

[ksuwild25]

What time are the stores open? I figured it was around 9 or 10, but wasn't sure if the hours would be different since it's run by a liquidator.

Most are 10am

[crunchewy]

I'm not saying where, but I found a copy of Chrono Trigger DS and I *didn't* buy it. Yet. :) I'm taking a chance and waiting for another percentage off increase. Yeah, someone might buy it, but I figure if no one has by now, and given how deserted the store was last night, I think I have a half decent chance it will still be there when we hit 50% off. It's worth a shot, anyway.

[jiggyteddy]

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but how do you know if your CC is closing at the end of this month?

Thanks.

[jerem022]

Kalamazoo, MI - Circuity City went up to 40% off games/DVD's today also. Game accessories are wiped out but there are plenty of games leftover, I just picked up FIFA 09 and Left 4 Dead for 64$. I am pretty sure I got the last L4D since I had hidden this copy but, there are tons of games left, even 5-6 Fallout 3 CE for the PS3, none for 360 though.

[thebob101]

I asked one of my local CC yesterday when they were closing and they said they were one of the high volume stores that would be getting inventory from other CC stores that aren't doing too well. This was the Wheaton, MD store. I also asked when the next price drop would be and they said not for a week or so because they are selling stuff so well.

[futbolplaya934]

anyone know what console are at today? if they 40% i might just have to stop and get a xbox arcade tomorrow. if the games where 50% i would stop and get resistance 2....think i might wait it out to just have my dreams crushed!

[sp00ge]

I can also confirm that games went to 40% today. Too bad my CC isn't open yet because of massive power outages.

[shrike4242]

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but how do you know if your CC is closing at the end of this month?

Thanks.My guess is that lower traffic/slower stores will be closing quicker than higher traffic stores.

You'd have to look for signage in-store, ask someone in-store, or look for discounts getting larger than other stores. Discounts increasing quicker than other stores is a sign that the store in question is closing quicker than other stores.

[kcohen82]

went to the Holyoke, MA store yesterday, games only @ 30%, horrible selection of blu rays as well, stores not even worth a visit when things get up to 40%

[jiggyteddy]

Some good reports so far. Still early in the day.

I'm going to try to hit my local CC in Rego Park, NY today. At 40% it is really tempting.

I would defiinitely like to buy a Fallout CE on PS3 and a DS3 if possible at this location. Unless someone here can tell me they don't have it... then I might not go then.

Happy findings fellow CAGers!

By the way the Fallout CE's were priced at 59$, so pretty decent deal.

[HaLLuZiNaTiOnZ]

40%?

I hope they still have Mirrors Edge for the Ps3. They only had like 4 last time I was there.

[spdiscus]

Coworker just called Madison, WI West. "Pretty much all of our prices have changed."
Consoles are at 25% off, and games are at 40% off. He didn't ask about anything else.

This is the news I have been waiting for. Thank you!

[plasticbathmonki]

Has anyone from Austin, San Antonio or San Marcos seen a copy of MK vs. DC for PS3? I'm definitely getting Fallout 3 tonight. It's only slightly more expensive than a used copy from GS with Edge, 10% email subscriber coupons and the getting-less-rare 20% coupon we all know and love.

[sp00ge]

I sure hope they still have Fallout 3 CE in stock. If so, I'm selling my regular copy and picking it up.

I'm heading out in a few minutes to check out a CC in the San Antonio area. I'll let you know if I find any copies of MK vs DC for the PS3 and also whether or not the percentage has increased on it.

I havent been to this one yet. I have been going everyweek to the Hyattsville,MD CC. The Rockville,MD CC was a bust when i went there last week.

[erehwon]

The prices have changed at the Fort Wayne CC as well. I didn't see too much that really called to me, but I was able to get a copy MGS: Portable Opps and Space Invaders Extreme for $11.99 each. Patapon was the same price, but I passed on that. I'm trying to cut back. They did have one copy of Fallout 3 CE for PS3 in stock when I was there. I passed on that, since I want it for the PC.

Definitely a no-go on the DS3 (long gone...for weeks now).

Stopped by the Hicksville CC. A few accessories left (none x360 accessories). Still packed with 360 games, most regular (non-CE) editions. And everything is as expected with today's drop (40% off games and accessories).

[bgame2]

I want one of those 360 wireless wheels but I've struck out at 4 stores so far.

Last I saw, Fallout 3 CE were all behind the counter.

[Kilger]

For those who have gotten one of the console collector's edition, such as Fallout, did the sticker price read 59.99 or did they just ring up that? I asked cause they still said 79.99 when I was there the other day.

sticker reads 79.99 at my store but it rings up @ 59.99 minus the 30% off. Just lazy CC employess (before liquidation) didnt update stickers on product, and once liquidation began they sure werent going to update stickers at that point.

[Slappybob]

In south austin they have signs saying 20-50% off but i couldnt find one item at %50 off.

Honestly this is a really sloppy closing. CompUSA did a much better job.

[juice22]

Picked up fallout 3 collectors edition for ps3 marked $79.99 for $35. (40% off)

[SuperJedi]

So it's 40% OFF now?

[time2roleplay]

Nice to know the cc employee was telling me the truth about there % increase on thursday. bet you will hear about it on the radio and see it on tv starting friday if not today.

[juice22]

yea 40% off and consoles are 25% off. PS3 system was $299

[freddyfromutah]

I was at the CC in West Jordan Utah yesterday, still have to watch out. Games were 30% off but were still at full MSRP, example, Virtua Fighter 5 was $39.99 at 30% off, it can be picked up new on Amazon for $19.99.

An olympus camera was $89.99 after 30% off, was $85 on amazon. Take a internet enabled phone if you go, my advice.
