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

[assasin4hire]

Picked up rogue galaxy for $6.50 and GH:WT for $30 at the CC in North Bergen, NJ.

[hobbie8046]

In that case, +1 to vendor owned RROD 360's :lol:

That's ok, I'll get my cheap PS3 one day :D

I would check Overstock's auctions. I got a 360 Premium about a year ago for $81 plus $10 shipping from Best Buy Outlet and it's still working great.

[showtime]

They jacked everything they could back up to $60 before taking the discounts off. I was hoping to get Bourne Conspiracy for $15 since the last time I saw it there, it had a price tag of $29.99. Tonight, there was no price on the game and when the cashier scanned it, it came up $30 after 50% off. Decided to hold off until at least 60% for that one.

Yeah, that's why I was checking prices on my phone before buying them but missed the Unreal Tournament 3 price. Now in order for me to get my money's worth, I'm starting to play the newest release games first so that at least I've played it through before prices everywhere else eventually goes down on it. I'm half way finished with PoP, and will start Mirror's Edge next, then probably Far Cry 2, then Fallout 3, then Crackdown, then Lost Planet. Still don't know when I'm gonna find time to play them though. I'm gonna try to return UT3 at Best Buy and see if I can get at least $30 credit.

lol I have been debating where to grab that rouge galaxy for a while. It was at the start of the ps2 isle behind 2 guitar hero games. :D
Oh well

[Nelstone]

I picked up Star Ocean: First Departure - PSP for $20.00.

[SuperJedi]

I'm not sure why you're comparing this to Black Friday since BF is over 9 months away. If it's something I really want to play then I'm going to pay $5 or so dollars more and play it now. I'm not going to wait 9 months on the chance that it will be $5 to $10 cheaper. Now, if it was something I don't really care about I'll gladly wait for it to be either 70% off at CC, or wait until BF.

If a game you REALLY WANT NOW, then compare to just Amazon.

To me, most of games I WANT bad, I already have.

NONE of the games left are must haves.

[futbolplaya934]

got resistance 2 today on the 3 for just under $35 with tax....so glad i didn't bite about a week ago when it was still $45 something!!!!

[JoNJoN]

I picked up Star Ocean: First Departure - PSP for $20.00.

Ditto. I just happened to be going thru all the DVD's hoping a Fable 2 was lying around and I came across a copy of this instead.

[crowbb]

Brick, NJ CC doesn't have much left in the way of games. Some copies of Soul Calibur 4 still hanging around and bunch of discount titles. PC games are fairly decimated unless you want Warhammer Online which had a ton of copies left.

I'm surprised they seem to have a lot of TVs left though the prices look like they jacked them up before taking the discount as they are nothing special.

[AoA]

The CC in Union/Springfield NJ on Rt. 22 seemed completely cleared out with only original Xbox and old DS games available....and then I saw the pile of PS3, 360 and Wii games behind the customer service area.
Got me Resistance 2 and Fallout 3 for 30 each. Not bad, basically greatest hits pricing but with getting the games now.

A lot of older stuff there too and I couldn't see much but I'm sure they had at least 8 more Resistance 2's left if anyone's in the area.

[brownda1]

I know I was asking about Rochester, NY store yesterday, but I just got back from there and needless to say it was cleaned right out. Maybe 20 games total between all the systems. All GHWT and RB2 bundles sold out, would have been a wasted trip had I not found some decent CD's and Diary of the Dead

yup that's how it is in Woodbridge too.. everything good is behind the customer service counter.

Hehe...I hear you about finding time to play everything you've bought. I still have a couple games left from X-Mas that I haven't played yet. Now I just got 6 more on top on that plus I haven't even played through FEAR 2 for which I paid full price. I'm getting Dragon Quest V today as well as the new Star Ocean next week so I'm sure the backlog is not getting any smaller any time soon! :D

[jacobchabot]

For those asking about the CCs in the New York area, I just got back from the 5th Ave and Union Square Manhattan stores:

It's 50% off PC software, Video Games, CDs, & DVDs. 40% off "Social Gaming."

The 5th Avenue store is pretty much cleaned out of game related stuff - about a dozen Xbox 360 games, mostly sports related, next to no PS3 stuff, nothing for the DS save for a few copies of Napoleon Dynamite, a bunch of Wii stuff, mostly Bass Fishing and Harvey Birdman. A tiny selection of PC titles, mostly WoW Burning Crusade and a few others. Still stacks of Guitar Hero stuff.

They still have a small selection of DVDs and CDs, but nothing remarkable. You're in luck if you want Dark Knight, Hancock, or Horton Hears a Who DVDs. They have a butt-load.

The Union Square store is the place to go if you're looking for stuff in NYC. They still have next to nothing for the PS3 or DS, but they do have a small Cluster of 360 games including one copy of Lego Indiana Jones, one pre-owened Halo 3 CE, a few C&C Red Alert 3s, and a bunch of Unreal Tournament and football titles, and a small selection of PS2 stuff, mostly Rock Band track packs and old GTA titles. Again, their Wii selection is mostly Bass Fishing and Harvey Birdman.

They have a wide selection of PC titles though. One side of a whole isle worth.

They also have a fairly big selection of DVDs and Blu-Rays left as well. Nothing jumped out at me, but they probably had about 3 times the stock of the 5th Avenue store. Again, you're in luck if you want Dark Knight, Hancock, or Horton on DVD. Massive amounts of these movies.

I almost picked up C&C: Red Alert, but then saw that the price sticker beneath the marked price was significantly lower and remembered that this whole deal was still kind of a sham. Amazon sells it for the same price as the discount.

[cwalker3]

Catonsville MD actually had the exact two things I was looking for - the Rock Band 2 Fender bass and the Stage Kit. $109 total after tax (40%) off. I know that's a lot for two novelty items, but their both for parties. I'll just get my friends to bring the booze and I'll still get off easy!

They had one Stage Kit left. And tons of instruments, World Tour kits, DVD's, and CD's. Also some decent PC games (about 100 or so). Oh, and about 7 Prince of Persia 360 for $30. NO PS3 games.

[Legendbyname]

Went today in hopes of picking up Star Ocean: First Departure or Second Evolution. All that was left were some UMDs.

Store was pretty cleaned out, and hardly any great deals still at 30-50% off.

[Vinny]

I went yesterday and man, what a sad sight... the store is pretty much down to half its original size though most of that space is dedicated to overpriced TVs (even after the discount).

I picked up a copy of Crush for $5 and this Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Season 2 special edition or something (comes some figures or something) for $7.

Picked up rogue galaxy for $6.50 and GH:WT for $30 at the CC in North Bergen, NJ.

I picked up Star Ocean: First Departure - PSP for $20.00.

I saw both Rogue Galaxy and SO First Departure hidden between some PC software and thought about buying them. I wish I had know Rogue Galaxy was only $6.50 though, I would've snagged it. I'm guessing they're gone by now. I was iffy about SO though... figured it was supposed to be $30 retail but guess now.

rock band 2 bundles? someone said 80th had some left but i called, they only have game only

[wolve]

Hawthorne, CA is not that great.


I just got back from that store. It's great if you are looking for PC games. And you weren't kidding about Fallout 3 CE for PC. There must be 30+ lunchboxes there. I've never seen such a huge section of PC games at any other Circuit City location. Any PC gamers in the area should check it out. I decided to save the $10 and bought Fallout 3 PC regular ver. instead of CE. I didn't really care much for the lunchbox and other stuff inside.

I took a look at the X360 games as well and also saw lots of Soul Calibur 4 and some Lego Batman and Lego Indy. The store still had a decent # of X360 consoles behind the customer service counter.

[dkreegz515]

all the stores by me are down to little or no games left... but i did pick up Evil Dead 1+2, House of 1000 corpses, Devil's Rejects, Bramstrokers Dracula, Frankenstein, Street Fighter II the movie anime, Platoon... all for 42 bucks

[buckythekat]

well I grabbed a copy of The Orange Box for PS3 since it was only $10

I get home open it up and discover there's no disc :bomb:

I know all sales are final but this is BS and they apparently not longer answer their phones so now I get to drive all the way back out there to bitch at them

My closest Circuit City had roughly 30 Rock Band 2 Bundles (PS3 only) and scads of Fallout everything. I ended up grabbing another copy of Persona 3 @ $10, Darkstalkers (PSP) @ $3 and a couple penny guides. I felt bad for all the saps in a frenzy to pickup a new LCD on the cheap. 60% off at Circuit City is STILL pushing it.

rb2 bundle?

[WestLB]

Anyone know how much percent is PC Accessories??

[songoku0987]

Anyone know how much percent is PC Accessories??
id say 40% as most accessories are

[Dhuk]

Is $139.99 for an X360 Arcade a good price? There are some left @ my local CC and I'm tempted to get one.

When you can get one on ebay for the average of 125 shipped. It's an meh to ok deal. Unfotunately none of them have the jasper chip :(

maybe when sears/Kmart goes belly up, i'll get lucky then.

[stevenbcohn]

80th and Bway CC:

Re: Rock Band 2...i didn't see Bundles for 2...but they still have Rock Band 1 bundles in stock.

[Coper3000]

Went back to pick up a few blu-rays and dvds, and the only blu I picked up was Revenge for 12.00. Also got the Office season 2 for 20.00, and Enter the Dragon for 3.50. But the best part of this post is letting everyone know that if you want the Sex and the City movie, that my CC literally has at least 150 copies. It is the craziest thing I have ever seen,ha. I might go back and pick up season 3 of the Office, but the cheapness in me tells me to wait another week for the next drop.

edit- No tax on dvds and everything? I'm surprised I haven't seen this posted yet, or I might have missed it. For instance Revenge blu-ray was priced 24.99 but I got it for 12.00.

[songoku0987]

80th and Bway CC:

Re: Rock Band 2...i didn't see Bundles for 2...but they still have Rock Band 1 bundles in stock.


this is why i hated that store on 80th.

i call once, he say they dont have it in stock for the bundle but they have rock band 2 game only 30

i call to see the stock of rock band 1 bundle, she redirects me to the main menu.... again

so i go to the operator [since they never, ever pick up the phones for their sections, theyve even said that before], and a new person tells me i need to come in store for inventory check.

[tjcravey]

I picked up a copy of Resistance 2 for PS3 for $30, there were about 5 copies left in the Jacksonville, FL store, may be more elsewhere.

Great deal, IMO, even cheaper than any used copies I've been able to find.

[el swordo]

went to the one in highland indiana and all they had was turok and guitar hero games don't even bother if you are planning on going

[Jeff...]

well I grabbed a copy of The Orange Box for PS3 since it was only $10

I get home open it up and discover there's no disc :bomb:

I know all sales are final but this is BS and they apparently not longer answer their phones so now I get to drive all the way back out there to bitch at them
Yep that exact same shit happened to me, only it was bioshock for $30

[paean]

I bought Dark Messiah for 360, the case was opened but I didn't notice it until after I paid... took it home and it was scratched to hell and the 360 won't play it. $11 down the drain.

[crunchewy]

Picked up RB2 Wii for $25 and Pokemon Ranger Shadows for $15. Chrono Trigger DS was gone. Oh well. There were still copies of FFIV and DQV (or whatever the number of the new one), but I'm not as interested in those.

[FadeToOne]

Sigh. Spent another 100 bucks. Southlake still had a ton of Prince of Persia's for 360. I bought one hoping I can trade with someone for the PS3 version... any takers? :P

They still got a ton of GH WT band kits for 40% off.

[Tenks]

Has anyone found Fallout3 for PC at their local CC?

[Wolfpup]

Yep that exact same shit happened to me, only it was bioshock for $30

And these were sealed?!? Were employees doing it or something.

Has anyone found Fallout3 for PC at their local CC?

Not me (though I bought a while back anyway). My PC section is pretty well picked over, and where it's not prices are never right, so I don't actually know what anything would cost :(

[sweepy76]

Has anyone found Fallout3 for PC at their local CC?

I have in Berwyn, Il, they had a couple of regular editions and 1 lunchbox.

[Tenks]

I have in Berwyn, Il, they had a couple of regular editions and 1 lunchbox.

Thanks. I guess I'll check out mine to see if they had any.

[bdennis85]

:bomb:Just got back from the Ann Arbor,MI location. Most game related stuff, the real good stuff, is picked over. A few copies of Fallout 3, GTA 4, a small stack PS2 editions of Guitar Hero World Tour, a few wireless drumsets for Rock Band 2. There weren't any PSP or DS games worth mentioning. Nothing on the PC end either. Movies where decent, nothing awsome. TV DVD's where probably the only part of the store that wasn't picked over and didn't look like it was touched. Unless you live in the area, its not worth the trip. If anything check out the liquidation sale at Rock Financial Showplace this weekend, I'm checking it out tomorrow and will post anything I find when I get back.

[kentomaiku]

just got bak from a few ones they have ran out of stuff really fast, i havent even found a single uncharted nor ratchet title, still looking for wireless adapter in the sj area any hope let me know cagers

[ScottBigGame]

I went to the MONGOMERYVILLE, PA location.

I got Warhawk for $15, but no other good games left. Everthing was pretty cleared out. If you live in this area, don't bother.

I'm going to check out the WARRINGTON, PA location tomorrow.

[Moffman82]

Hi all! Just wanted to create this thread to let everyone know that if you are going to take advantage of the last days of your local Circuit City, you definately want to wait till your final day of business. Mine closed a few days ago and at the end of it all on the last day they slashed EVERY ITEM in the store to FIFTY CENTS, no shit. I calculated my haul and I walked away with 2000 dollars worth of stuff for just under twenty five bucks. I got memory pro duo sticks, sd cards, wireless network cards, dvds, cds, pc games, speaker accesories, ipod stuff, even a free laser jet printer that retails for 200 bucks, with the ink toner cartridge that is 85 bucks. So do yourself a favor and wait till the VERY END, don't be suckered by their 30 percent or 50 percent off stickers.

[Ginsburger]

Snagged a copy of Fallout 3 CE and Viva Pinata DS at Rego Park, NY for ~43 after tax. I'm happy. I think they still had a few Fallouts left as well.

[royalbliss1]

Picked up a Resistance 2 and a dualshock3, plenty of ds3 left the rest of games were cleaned out

[shrike4242]

[Moffman82]

Pics of the haul and the receipt or GTFO.

I would be more than happy to provide pics, if someone can tell me how to post photos into my posting. Is that GTFO, as in Get The Fuck Out? Why would I lie about this? I was just trying to let everyone know to wait till the final day.

[Vega$]

does anyone know about the desktop computers, 100, 150???????

I suggest a digital camera, hook it up to your comp or via a mem card you got and then post it up on flicker or something, freebie site and link =) I'd love to see this. makes me want to grab a ton of random shit lol, too bad I dont know when my stores will be closing =(

[JQUEST79]

Any ps3 bioshock or resistance 2 left in socal cc?

[major morgan]

Has anyone found Fallout3 for PC at their local CC?

OMG! I just saw 30+ Fallout 3 lunchboxes for PC (Hawthorne, CA). 50% off. I was looking for a PS3 version though. :(

[major morgan]

Any ps3 bioshock or resistance 2 left in socal cc?

I saw 1 or 2 bioshocks at Hawthorne. There were 2 resistance 2, but I snagged one of them. 50% off = $32 after tax.

[MSUHitman]

Why in the world was this moved back to shopping discussions instead of staying in the deals forum since this is actually a good deal now?

[crunchewy]

I saw Fallout 3 CE PC at my local CC as well. It's out there. Mine has tons of copies of the full GHWT bundle for 360 & PS3, but none for Wii. Also had 2 Rb2 bundles for 360. Lots of various GH guitars for 360 & PS2 and 2 RB2 guitars for 360. Nothing for Wii. In fact now that I bought RB2 game-only for Wii, they have no Wii games at all. Only garbage accessories.

[anubis757]

Has anyone found Fallout3 for PC at their local CC?


No, but I found a PS3 copy of it yesterday at the CC in Hyattsville, MD.

2900 Belcrest Center Dr, Hyattsville, MD 20782 (301)853-2155

Paid $30, originally priced $59.99

[victoryroadrage]

Picked up Mirror's Edge PS3 for $30, Prince of Persia 360 for $30, and Assassin's Creed Greatest Hits PS3 for $15. I would have picked up Assassin's Creed for the 360, but those were still priced at $60.

[karkyco]

I saw 1 or 2 bioshocks at Hawthorne. There were 2 resistance 2, but I snagged one of them. 50% off = $32 after tax.

Was it a Resistance 2 Collector's Edition?

I need one of those, and have an extra Fallout 3 CE for PS3. Let me know please!

Otherwise, if anyone else has any extra collector's editions from this clearance, let me know which ones, assuming you're interested in the extra Fallout 3 CE for PS3 I have...

[VipFREAK]

Went to the El Camino CC, I figured it would be closed or very little left. Amazingly it's only about half gone since the last time. lool These guys really do FAIL.

I was there around 3:00 today and they were putting out more Guitar Hero WT product, they had tons of it..

I Picked up the Rockband 2 drum set for 52.00..

Ann Arbor store is pulling product from other stores still, person behind the counter was talking to another customer about it.. I've noticed more tv's have been added over the last 4-5 days..

[iPod Wizard]

There's nothing good at my CC in Houston, TX except for a couple of TVs and other little stuff.

:(

[Skylander7]

wow that's unbelieveable, Was it a sealed copy? please keep us informed!

Stores are shrinkwrapping crap... I saw a couple of things that I had considered getting but was on the fence (Logitech G15 keyboard or whatever being one of them).. the box had been opened, and today it was shrinkwrapped. I really wouldn't be surprised if they were doing this to games/software as well. I'd say watch out.

There is one 360 Arcade left at my local one that I had considered getting while waiting to get mine back from Microsoft due to another RRoD, but they keep telling me that game hardware is only 25% off. I still can't justify the purchase. Camcorders are only 30% off, I wish they'd go lower. I almost want to drive to a few other stores looking for stuff, I know I'd grab Godfather on blu ray and Battlestar season 3 if I saw them.

Hard to believe.

Because if it's just us Cheapass (Savvy shoppers) I would believe you, but really many many shoppers are just stupid and buy things they could get WAY cheaper like on Amazon!

[SuperJedi]

Why in the world was this moved back to shopping discussions instead of staying in the deals forum since this is actually a good deal now?


I Agree!!! :roll:

[WTFer]

Anyone near Arcadia, CA, they have a ton of 360 Arcade models (about 19 left) & they are all Jaspers from what I seen.
Price was $139

[etcrane]

Yea ... what the bloody hell is going on Mods ... why was this moved? I thought I was going crazy when it disappeared ... still a deal dudes, just because your CC was weak and closed before ours did ;-)

[GioSH]

Has anyone seen any world tour full band kits in socal?

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

I spotted one of the powerline adapter sets tonight, which I bought from CC about six months ago(and returned unopened a week later), for $45 and change with the discount.

It originally was $99.99, if it's still there next week and the % goes up to 60% off, I'll get it.

For those who don't know wtf it is, a powerline adapter kit uses your existing wiring in your house as ethernet cable to bridge the gap between your router/modem and the location(s) you want to bring your internet connection to.

[thespyderboy]

Any ps3 bioshock or resistance 2 left in socal cc?

Pretty sure I saw some of both games in the glass case at the Van Nuys location (went there a couple of hours ago - 2:30ish). There may also have been some R2 copies in the actual PS3 section, but that was pretty much slim pickins over there.

Van Nuys in general is pretty much slim pickins, save for the PS2 and 360 sections. Everything else is practically crap, save for a couple of things (e.g. Hotel Dusk).

Anyone know how Burbank, CA is looking?

[karkyco]

Has anyone seen any world tour full band kits in socal?

Yeah, they still have them at the Culver City location. At least a dozen for X360 and probably the same for PS3. $115 plus tax. Two were sold in front of me (X360) when I was there a few minutes ago. They also have a FEW Rock Band 2 bundles for PS3 and X360 left.

There are STILL 3 Fallout 3 CE for X360, a couple of Saints Row 2 CE's for X360, 4 or 5 Halo 3 CE's, a couple of Madden CE's. PS3 I took the last Fallout 3 CE so I can have another one for trading purposes. PS3 CE's = 1 or 2 Saint's Row CE, a couple of Madden CE, 2 Mortal Kombat vs. DCU CE's, 1 or 2 SOCOM w/ headset CE's, and 1 Warhawk w/ headset bundle. The Warhawk bundle is IN A RED BUCKET ON THE FLOOR BEHIND THE FRONT COUNTER.

360 games are toast, I got the last copies of Professor Layton and Red Riding Hood Zombie BBQ for DS, other than that DS is just about toast, PSP is total toast, PS2 actually has a bunch of games but it's 95% crap.

Wii they must have found more games because the entire X360 glass case is now all Wii. Nothing really good. 95% crap. PS3 is 75% crap.

Anyone in LA seen any more Resistance 2 Collector's Editions? Anyone with an extra one looking to trade for a PS3 Fallout 3 CE?

[buckythekat]

well I went back to the store where I bought the copy of The Orange Box

I had to talk to three different employees before I finally got a manager and they all just told me I'd have to go to this website and file a claim

I told them how did I know this was an isolated incident? maybe this is fraud and I asked the manager for his name (he wasn't wearing a name tag) he said he didn't have to divulge that information

so I'm going to contact Chesterfield County because I think they have some sort of consumer fraud protection and contact the local media since they have a NBC 12 On Your Side

yes it's only $10 but it would seem this probably isn't an isolated incident given Jeff..... also had the same problem with a copy of Bioshock

[Faithful]

Just came back from another peek at the West Jordan UT store. Totally picked clean in the games department. Was hoping Fallout 3 had magically appeared but no luck. In fact there was probably about 30 items total counting all console and PC software. Only decent things were Soul Caliber IV for 360, Crysis Warhead for PC, TF2 for PC, and there was a Spore Galactic and a few Spore Evolutions. Everything else was junk. The 50+ GHIII's I saw last week were down to just a handful, priced at $32 it seemed.

Outside of games, they have a ton over overpriced GPS systems which probably won't move until they are 75% off based on their MSRP. They've got quite a few movies left, considering the crowd in that section they must have quite a bit of stock of movies in the back since it seemed they had the same amount last weekend. They had a few laptops but still at 10% and not moving. I came across a 2x2GB DDR2 kit for .... $89 AFTER the discount. I lol'd IRL. Most of the TV's were gone too, they had a few but I honestly didn't even bother looking at them as I know they are still overpriced.

Only thing else I was interested in was headphones but even at only 30% off they are still way more than I'm willing to spend, and they really only had the Sony noice-reducing ones for $69 and a few other cheap-o ones.

Oh, and they have about 200+ really ugly MP3 player covers. Can't imagine them getting rid of those any time soon.

Anyone with any other UT reports? I'm gonna be down in Utah County tomorrow if anyone has seen any better situations down there on games (particularly Fallout 3 CE).

[guruoftime]

I just got back from one in Cincinnati. They had about 30 copies of Resistance 2 at Customer Service and several other games. I picked it up for $30 and a PS3 Fallout CE for $30 (they had about 4 left). There were also 7 PSPs for sale at $117 (or something similar to that). The "video game section" was picked clean (minus PS2 and crappy DS games), but there were plenty of AAA titles at Customer Service.

[jazzman]

Clive Barker's Jericho (360) - $6
Conan (360) - $6
Manhunt 2 (Wii) - $6
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (PS2) - $6

The store was torn up with only one shelf left for games. All the good stuff they had yesterday was gone except for dozens of the most recent Pokemon Mystery Dungeons for DS, but I'm glad I was able to pick up a few things.

[bayoab]

Liquidator is up to some odd things. Up at Wappingers Falls NY store, they have two copies of Halo 2 PC. I had them price check it back when it was 30% off and it scanned as having a $40 MSRP. Today I went back to get it and it scanned as having a $50 MSRP. ($25 at register)

[EnronLackey]

[Thedrknss48]

Picked up a Resistance 2 and a dualshock3, plenty of ds3 left the rest of games were cleaned out

What location?


Any ps3 bioshock or resistance 2 left in socal cc?


I saw plenty of resistance 2 at the Huntington Beach location, however, they were the regular edition, not the CE one. They had like 8-12 of them.

[Wildgift]

Anybody in SoCal spot any copies of COD WaW? Anywhere in the OC or even the LA area? I'll be visiting family in Pasadena this weekend.

don't bother at Hawthorne--i got the last one a few days ago, unless they restocked. i was at culver city today, and didn't notice one, but i wasnt't really looking either...

[Josef]

I picked up Star Ocean: First Departure - PSP for $20.00.

I lucked out and found one today as well!

Also, why was this thread moved out of the Video Game Deals area? The deals are just starting to get really good now (if your store still has games in stock).

[EmeraldKing]

Have any CAG's been to the CC in Bellevue, Wa. I live in Puyallup, and it would only wpth the trip if Fable & Fallout were there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[Dranakin]

Rock Band bundle at 40% was too good to pass up, but now I need to pick up a second guitar controller. I saw this post:

http://playstation.joystiq.com/2008/09/11/rock-band-guitar-compatibility-patch-now-live/

So, it looks good to get a Guitar Hero guitar and use it with RB? They're charging $70 for each, but I saw a ton of them still left at my CC. Hopefully there will still be some later.

[karkyco]

Hey jazzman! I haven't seen it (haven't looked for it really) but you might as well hit the locations in Pasadena/Arcadia and maybe even Glendale if that store hasn't already shut down (been YEARS since I was rolling around there). At least with Arcadia and Pasadena, it's very close to you.

[GameOnJohn]

Local CC had games at only 40% off and the only good games were crackdown, Prince of Persia and a few others. If everyone would of waited they could of got better deals.

[Organ Donor]

The CC in Monroeville, PA is pretty cleaned out. Most of the games that they had left were 50% off (they don't have anything worth mentioning other than some GH games). The 'newer' Xbox 360 games were locked in a case and were only 30% off (they were 40% off a week ago) but it was a pretty lame selection. They still had a lot of RB and GH instruments and accessories. They also still have 3 Xbox 360 Arcade systems and 5 or 6 Xbox 360 Pros (the 20 gig version) for sale behind the customer service counter but that looked to be all. I went right before the store closed so I'm sure they will still have some left tomorrow for anybody that's interested.

[RelentlessRolento]

need earphones... so I'll get em tomorrow.

[cdrober]

some AAA titles also at Charlotte CC (South Blvd) today for 50% off. I got Saints Row 2, still stuff like R2, SC4, other stuff.

Also had a good selection of Blu Rays, I got "Hustle and Flow" for $10.

Seems still not that great of prices on tv's and alot of stuff left, but WII games were picked clean along w/ PS2. some PS3 and X360 though. No consoles in sight.

[Sharp Katana]

picked up Saints Row 2 CE tonight for $32.33 after tax. Now I need to find Resistance CE.

[oasisboy]

need earphones... so I'll get em tomorrow.

If anyone in DFW cares about premium headphones / earphones... I have been to CC's in Plano, Southlake, Lewisville and Denton. The only store that has BOSE On Ear headphones and earphones is the one in Denton.

Yesterday I bought the On Ear Headphones for $125.99 and they had like 7 left. (MSRP $180)
http://www.amazon.com/Bose-41215-On%252dEar-Headphones/dp/B000HWRBG2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235193930&sr=8-6)

This store also had like 4 or 5 BOSE earphones for $71 (MSRP $100).

I love my BOSE headphones, it gives me an ear orgasm when playing rock or electronic music.

[chunga]

Anybody know how much percent is being taken off Speaker Systems? (Logitech, Bose, etc)

what's the current discount on earphones?

[oasisboy]

\
what's the current discount on earphones?

30% on the premium headphones (BOSE) and 50% on the cheap headphones (PC headphones, cheap sony headphones that usually come with cd players, etc)

[Nirron]

\
what's the current discount on earphones?

At my store (Durham, NC) today it was 30% off.

The store was practically picked clean of most decent games. Saw 1 Fallout 3 lunchbox (PS3) and a few decent 360/PS3 games. I managed to grab 2 GoWII guides for a pretty penny :lol: and picked up one of the myriad copies of Prince of Persia: The Fallen King for DS that they had.

They still had a ton of guitars and what not for Guitar Hero 3/Aerosmith/World Tour. I might bite on one when/if they hit 50% off since my brother's birthday is coming up soon.

[etcrane]

Picked up Fallout 3 CE for PC tonight for $37 and change in Santa Cruz, CA. There was one left ... if anyone's interested in trading for the 360 version, I'm game (remember the PC version has DLC + mods so I'd say it's the best of the 3 ... but I just miss playing it on my TV every now and then ;-) ).

Most of the Bay Area CC's seem pretty cleaned out ... anyone know of any well stocked CC's around here ... possibly north of SJ?

[LakersForLife82481]

Does anyone have any updates on Norwalk California's CC? i might go tomorrow.

[subwayeatbig]

At La cienga,

Picked up grid and Lost oddessy for 40ish and change.

Saw-
Grid
Inifinte Undiscovery
Lost Oddssey
Fable 2
Cod WAW collectors edition
devil may cry
for 360...

Xbox 360 fallout 3 collectors for 360 also.

thats all i remember.

[Chatomairi]

Just bought Animal Crossing City Folk for only 25. All video games are 50% off and BB had this game on sale for 39 and Amazon has it for 46. 25 was a steal.

[earvcunanan]

I picked up the last copy of Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition (360) for $19.98. Seattle, WA.

[jacobchabot]

rock band 2 bundles? someone said 80th had some left but i called, they only have game only


I saw no Rock Band bundles of any kind. The Union Square had an (I think 360 version) off-brand portable drum kit. That was about it.

[LakersForLife82481]

has anyone seen any 360 hard drives?

[yukafls]

Wonder what the current percentage off is, last time I checked at mine it was 40%

[supershammy]

I love the PC section of this place. Love love love love it. Nobody seems to give a shit about any of the great games there, which is super wonderful awesome for me!

The Orange Box (for a friend) - $15
Team Fortress 2 (for me!) - $10
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (for a friend) - $7.50
Super nice ALLSOP 12" metal mouse pad (1 for a friend and 1 for me!) - $8

With this deal, I can get my friends into games I've been playin for a long time and get more game buddies in the process! Awesome.

Was thinking about picking up BF2142 for $10 too. We'll see.

[anch]

My guess is that most people i your area play hacked PC games

[gantt]

has anyone seen any 360 hard drives?

I saw some of the 60 GB kits back when things were maybe 20-30% off. Long gone now, though.

[Tsukento]

Do gift cards still work, by any chance? Just found one burning a hole in my wallet from two years ago and apparently it still has some cash on it, according to the phone number I dialed on the back of it.

[Japakneez]

how much is Halo 3 CE going to be?


I know some MSRPs are discounted so i wanted to make sure before i make another trip. I picked up Ninja Gaiden 2 for $15.

[Afrodwarf]

Buffalo,NY store had, like most others, a myriad of guitar hero games but also had Fable 2, plenty of new Prince of Persia's and Fallout 3 collector tins. Everything else for 360/PS3 had been picked clean.

This is the Niagara Falls Blvd store for those interested.

[bulldog93]

Do gift cards still work, by any chance? Just found one burning a hole in my wallet from two years ago and apparently it still has some cash on it, according to the phone number I dialed on the back of it.

They are still honoring gift cards.

[ITDEFX]

Sterling, VA

All the games nearly picked clean. Just a handful of games left but nothing worth getting.

PC gaming...

A sign said 60% off pc game...
yet everything I got was at 50%. They instituted the policy of older games 60%, newer games 50% :\

Spore, fallouts and so on gone. :(

Lots of Rockband stuff for PS2 with GH Stuff but mostly access crap.

They couldn't find a price of a FSX tips book (not on the book), not in their system so they just made up a price and took half off to 15. Glad I didn't buy it as it was 15 everywhere else.

Blu Rays were slim pickings...nothing really worth it.
Blu Ray box sets ALL GONE :O

DVD's at 50%, some good things left. However it's like once you go BR, you don't want to go back :P

Vista copies ALL GONE :(

Music CD's a mess... couldn't find one single soundtrack :(

They had one ZUNE A/V Dock left tagged at 50.xx with 50% off acc. Rang up 30 dollars. When asked why is it coming up 30 on a 50 dollar tag with 50% off, they said it goes by the MSRP and they won't honor the tag. It was only a 5 dollar diffrenance, but if you look at it, it is 10 dollars cheaper than what TRU clearance had it and 30 dollars cheap than what BB has it... so I took it.


So a word of caution as the stickers are (even the new liquidator tags) wrong.

There was ONE Silver gamecube left for 35 behind the CS counter. Anyone wanting a cube or need a back up, beware...the cube looks beat up with the insides looked like they have been opened.

Some good PC speakers but still too pricey.

[dragonjud]

If you have not yet made it to the Whitestone store, DO NOT BOTHER.

The place is a ghost town. I saw some guy with like 15 games, and it seems like resellers have decided to pick this place clean before any further mark downs. Mostly a few garbage ps3 and x360 titles left.

[DigitalFirefly]

I was at both of these last night. Here's some notable stuff I remember

Easton, PA

Tons of Guitar Hero Guitars and Game Bundles
Rock Band 2 Bundle (PS3 only) 40% off
1 set of Rock Band 2 Drums for the Wii
Fallout 3 (PS3) $30
Saints Row 2 (PS3) $30
Saints Row 2 Collectors (360) for $40
War Hark $15
Lots of Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Rock Band 2 - Game only (360)
Infinite Undiscovery
Ninja Gaiden 2 (360)
Fracture (PS3)
Haze (PS3) $15
Lots of PS2 games
GuitaR hero Aerosmith (Wii)
Mushroom Men (Wii)
Far Cry 2 (PS3) (360)
Crysis (PC)
Crysis Warhead (PC) $15
WoW Battlechest
Diablo Battlechest
Warhammer
Age of Conan
Misc DS games

Whitehall, PA

nothing worth typing for PS3 and 360, it's cleaned out

PC Games:
Fallout 3 collectors lunch box $35
Diablo Battle Chest
Stalker
Tabula Rasa Collector's Edition (lol) $25
Warhammer
tons of other games, nothing I was interested in

Whitehall has a better selection of TV shows and BluRays left. I got The Shield Season 1-6 for $20 each.

[espionage]

went to the one in Union Square Manhattan last night after work. Console games are pretty much empty but there seem to be tons of PC games left. Unfortunately, no Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, or Sins of a Solar Empire, but plenty of Blizzard games and copies of The Orange Box.

Ended up picking up The Orange Box for $15 and found Company of Heroes collector's edition that rang up for less than $10. I was pretty happy about that so if anyone else is looking for it, there's about 5 copies or so left there.

[oasisboy]

I forgot to mention that Plano, TX CC had 2 360 elites left yesterday around 1pm. They should ring up at $280 + tax.

[RMThompson]

I went to Clearwater FL yesterday, and it said all games 50% off, except of course "social games" like Guitar Hero. (Bologna! I would've purchased GH3 or GH:Aerosmith if it was 35 bucks!)

Anyway I was browsing around the PC games when I came across 100 copies or so of "The Sims 2 Deluxe"... it was 29.99 and half off... but when I went to the register it rang up $2.50.

So I went back and picked up some more MAXIS/EA games, and some (like the Sims Puzzle games like SnapCity) were ringing up $2.50 instead of 1/2 off the shown price!

None of the Sims 2 add-ons though. Strangely.

[bgame2]

Great Job Digital! I can report on Phillipsburg. As of friday afernoon they were sucked pretty much dry even though they had a million games about 4 days ago. PS3 you've got

prince of persia, far cry 2 warhawk (bundle), Motorstorm pacific rift, and a bunch of random stuff that isn't worth mentioning

360 you've got almost nothing left with the exception of Lego Indy, Far Cry 2, saints row 2 is now gone.

Also, guitar hero stuff is still pretty abundant.

[DigitalFirefly]

remembered some more

Easton, PA

Lego Batman (360)
Warhawk Bundle (PS3)
Tony Hawk Proving Ground (PS3) $17.50

Whitehall, PA

Had Vista Home Premium and MS Office in the glass case where video games used to be.

[Darkprime]

The Woodbridge, VA store has been picked dry of everything but Guitar Hero guitars.

[sunnysky]

still seeing a couple 360 Prince of Persia's. Other than that, nothing worth even stopping back for.

[Sauron96]

In Union Square maybe 2 weeks ago, there was 100's of Guitar Hero 3 bundles all over the place but I was waiting for a better discount, to anyone who was there recently are those all gone too?

[Derrick1979]

Anyone know what the percent off is on consoles?> I know this is kinda late but I would snatch a Slim PS2 if there was a nice discount and there obviously was still some... ;)

[DigitalFirefly]

still seeing a couple 360 Prince of Persia's. Other than that, nothing worth even stopping back for.

I would have picked up Prince of Persia if they had it.

[snatcher33]

Schaumburg, IL. store was pitiful. Unless you are interested in Tony Hawk and NFL Tour for the 360. They did have a bunch of guides I was interested in, but when I saw a price tag for $24.99 for a Wario Land: Shake it guide, I bolted for the door!

[jonathanp]

Why do that instead of price checking? I bought a guide (not that one but who knows) for my GF and it ended up being a penny.

[SuperJedi]

I keep buying up $10-$20 Adventure games

I LOVE me Adventure games!!! :D


I mean $5-$10, 50% OFF

[PapaSmerf]

I was wondering what price CAG's were looking for on a PSP. The Minnetonka, MN store had about 30 to 40 at 30% off according to the sign. I did not price one. It appeared they had both the 2000 and 3000 series behind the counter.

[songoku0987]

In Union Square maybe 2 weeks ago, there was 100's of Guitar Hero 3 bundles all over the place but I was waiting for a better discount, to anyone who was there recently are those all gone too?

havent seen, i believe they had lots at the 80th one. also, xplorers are apparently 12 dollars, but there are tons on 80th, please no one start getting them until they are about 70% off lol

[LakersForLife82481]

So any update on Norwalk California CC?

[styl3s]

anyone know how good the skullcandy lowrider headsets for 360 are? my CC has alot at 40% im thinking about waiting a little longer to snag a pair

[PapaSmerf]

Anyone know what the percent off is on consoles?> I know this is kinda late but I would snatch a Slim PS2 if there was a nice discount and there obviously was still some... ;)

The stores I have been to lately were 30% off, but I read at least one post that found them for 50%. I would definitely have bought a PS2 and/or PSP at half off. It might be worth a trip if not all the CC's are consistant.

[shadowkast]

I was in Michigan over the wekend so I stopped by the location in Madison Heights....holy shit!!!!

I think it was the last day to be open. They had ONE aisle with the most random stuff on it. Some guy anncounces "Everything is now 90% off, it has to go!!!" I thought about getting the case of combos (yes the snack) but left.

The place was roped off shelves and shit everywhere. It really looked like a scene from Fallout 3.

How does the McHenry, IL store look????????

[shrike4242]

I would be more than happy to provide pics, if someone can tell me how to post photos into my posting. Is that GTFO, as in Get The Fuck Out? Why would I lie about this? I was just trying to let everyone know to wait till the final day.Yes, let's see pics of this amazing haul. Otherwise, I call BS.

If there's still stores that are open that the liquidators have open, there's no reason they'd sell them for pennies on the dollar when they could ship them to another store and make much more profit on it.

So, yes, I'll calling you out unless I see pics of this amazing "haul". :roll:

[cametall]

Visited the Circuit City at the Wellington Mall in West Palm Beach, FL. I don't think rich people care that it's a liquidation sale because they had some good things there. Lot's of PCs and laptops, tons of receivers and home theater systems.

Quite a few Resistance 2s, End War, GTA IV. Couple Saints Row 2 CEs, an OK selection of games, better than the Sawgrass Store.

I picked up DMC4 CE (last one) for $20, Rock Band (game) for $20, and a 360 GHIII controller for $23.15. They had lots of Rock Band and GH games and accessories, even the guitar only packages.

Too bad I have no classes in Boca this semester, I wonder how the Boca store by FAU is stocked.

[Gamer SDP]

NYC CCs

80th Bway
I went there only once a week ago (first time there ever) when games were 40% off. There were a lot of PS2 games (a lot of uncommon stuff actually) but nothing worth having. Tons of Guitar Hero/Rock Band stuff. I saw some GCN controllers too.

62nd (or 66th?) around Bway?
I went there around 3 or 4 times since liquidation, latest was last week. Had a bunch of PS2 games. Pretty much the same bunch of PS2 games all stores would have though. Some 360 games but nothing worth it imo. There were more PS3 games, only The Orange Box worth mentioning. There were a bunch of GH/RB stuff but just a normal amount.

44th and 5th Ave
Went there several times during elucidation. Latest was yesterday actually. All PS2 games I saw others times were either sold or but away. Do not recall seeing any 360 games, even crap. I think I saw a few PS3 games but were crap. Maybe around 5 DS games (like 5 in total) left (the top tier crap). And only 3 or 4 Wii titles but a lot of them (3/4 different but many copies). GH/RB stuff a plenty (most of CCs I've seen and good condition). I may come back here to look for movie/dvds and maybe pc stuff.

14th Union Sq
Been here several times with most recent being yesterday. A crap combo of PS2, 360, and PS3 games are mixed together. The Wii selection mirrored the 44th St store. A lot of PC games. There were a few The Orange Box copies. Tons of older PC games. I can recall some Guild Wars because i saw a guy buying a set of them (3 or 4 different ones). There were still some GH/RB stuff but boxes were bad. I may only come back for movies/dvds.

I really wanted to get CoD4 for 360 for $19.99 (before liquidation on clearance, non GOTY) :cry:

[JQUEST79]

Anyone now the status of the huntington beach cc as of closeing yesterday if there was any resistance 2 or ps3 bishocks before I go down there for nothing today.

[jacobchabot]

I just checked out the Rego Park store in New York.

They still had behind the customer service desk several copies of Fallout 3 (non CE) for PS3 and 360, Resistance 2, Gears of War 2, Prince of Persia, and some other more recent games.

Around the store, they still had the typical smattering of other stuff. A comparitively large selection of mid-ware 360 games. Lots of Guitar Hero bundles, including several World Tour sets. They only had the PS3 stand-alone drum kits for Rock Band.

As for movies, they had a pretty big selection of box sets left, lots of TV stuff like The Office, Futurama, South Park, House, that kind of stuff. A small selection of Blu-Rays, but nothing great - mostly comedies and dramas. A couple of isles of DVD stuff, but nothing I felt like flipping through as it's all randomly clumped together.

[Ginsburger]

Thanks for the NYC updates guys. The Rego Park CC seems to be the best. Might give it one it one last shot next week....Plus it's close to my apt.

[olde_english]

Yes, let's see pics of this amazing haul. Otherwise, I call BS.

If there's still stores that are open that the liquidators have open, there's no reason they'd sell them for pennies on the dollar when they could ship them to another store and make much more profit on it.

So, yes, I'll calling you out unless I see pics of this amazing "haul". :roll:


I had this happen at my Sharper Image store, so I can at least vouch for this happening in some cases.

Gordon Brothers' liquidation consultants are all freelance - they are given a fixed timeframe to extract as much money as they can out of the store (or in TSI's case, the district). The consultant, being freelance, is on the hook for most costs incurred during this procedure; this means that if he transfers stock, he's out the truck rental plus any additional day labor he needs to unload it. Thus he won't do anything if the reward isn't significant, as the labor/money involved is great (most of these guys work so hard and get paid so well they only work two-three liquidations per year). He will probably look to close the stores sequentially as well, so that he can get all the closing paperwork done and dusted before he flies home and not be out any more money for accommodation or office space.

The upshot is that I have a *crateload* of The Sharper Image branded wallets, power supplies, CDs, StressErasers, and Bluetooth iPod/dock dongles and all the office gear that I couldn't sell at 90% off that just wasn't worth transferring. It was more cost effective for him to simply give all the junk to me and close the doors as he had already reached his sales quota for my store.

I can't speak for any other liquidation firms and their policies/procedures though.

[guyver2077]

actually got $30 worth of cc certificates in the mail... time to use em up

[ZForce915]

There are 360 arcade models at my CC for $140 with a sign stating no further reductions on it. It looks like it could be the jaspers too because I see a 256 with a ring around it and I think that means it has the built in memory. And if I'm not mistaken built in memory on an arcade = jasper.

Too bad I'm saving for a new HDTV or I'd scoop one up to have a spare/replace my non hdmi unit.

Wow really? What location? I believe you are right about it being a jasper 360. As far as CC's in New Jersey goes. They are all pretty much empty now, once the games hit 40% off nothing much to show for it. I picked up a couple good titles. Got a copy of Uncharted, and Resistance 2 for 40% off. With a recent 20% off Dell PS3 Purchase.

Edit: NJ Circuit City Stores I've Visited Recently and Items i got.
Mt. Laurel NJ ---> Crysis Warhead 40% off, Wiimote 40% (2 WiiFits 20% Yes! seriously! Returned one i just bought at Best Buy)
WoodBridge NJ ---> Uncharted 40% Last Copy
East Brunswick NJ ---> Resistance 2 40% off 3 Copies were Remaining


(East Brunswick NJ Circuit City, Didn't Get but had 1 Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit Xbox 360 40% Last Copy and a few Rock Band Xbox 360's)

[keschnell]

If anyone was interested in a RB2 Guitar for the PS3, I picked one up at 40%. I am looking to trade it for a new RB2 Guitar for the 360 in case your store had one, but not the other.

[Josef]

Anyone know what the percent off is on consoles?> I know this is kinda late but I would snatch a Slim PS2 if there was a nice discount and there obviously was still some... ;)

At my local store (Wilmington, DE) I got a PS2 for 50% off, but no other stores seem to be reporting this.

[Mud_BooDa]

I was just @ the Store in Tampa FL and they had XB Elite's for 279.00 they had around 10.. Go GET'em!

[karkyco]

LOL, I'm fully expecting Muff-Man or whatever his name is to post a pic of a hand written receipt.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

I really wish the liquidation sales were being done with a universal end date that we all knew about already, since I hate wasting gas to go to my local two stores only to find that they're still in business and still at some shitty % off.

I made out like a bandit at prior store closing sales(DVD's/CD's for $1, etc), so waiting for the last week or so is what most true cheapasses do.

Of course, with the economy as it is, most normal consumers will have picked clean these stores by the time the last week/day fire sales come to pass.

Mind you, if I want a copy(or 12) of Hancock or Indy Crystal Skull, I think I can wait since both local stores had endcaps completely FULL with those two movies the last time I checked either.

[Thedrknss48]

Anyone now the status of the huntington beach cc as of closeing yesterday if there was any resistance 2 or ps3 bishocks before I go down there for nothing today.

I went there yesterday around 2 yesterday. They had plenty of regular editions of Resistance 2 for ps3. It practically the only game for the ps3 they had. About 8-10 of them.

[Arkay Firestar]

Snagged me a Fable 2 for 30 and an Age of Empires 3 gold (last of this one) for 20. There was good selection at my local branch for gaming things, but I tried to show restraint. If they'd had Gears 2 there though that would have been harder...

[Estebon]

Haven't been keeping up. What are the percentages on games and accessories at now?

[lord_ebonstone]

I actually saw a regional commercial on TV advertising the liquidation. I haven't visited any stores yet, maybe there's still alot of shit if they're resorting to TV ads.

[dennisb407]

Saw a lady today at Sand Lake/OBT (Orlando) with 4 of those red carry thingys filled w/ dvds.

Had it been nighttime, she might've gotten robbed, Im just saying. haha

[artego]

Will there be any other % offs, or is 50% the highest it'll get?

Been eyeing the Rock Band 2 bundles, but 40% isn't good enough yet...

[richdmoore]

I actually saw a regional commercial on TV advertising the liquidation. I haven't visited any stores yet, maybe there's still alot of shit if they're resorting to TV ads.

I'm guessing that they bought those spots months ago soon after the liquidators took over Circuit City. At most they might keep the 40% ad running rather than replace it with the 50% one if they see good sales at that the lower discount level.

[BarbblerElf]

I actually saw a regional commercial on TV advertising the liquidation. I haven't visited any stores yet, maybe there's still alot of shit if they're resorting to TV ads.

I see like 10-15 commercials each day by me.

[AoA]

WoodBridge NJ ---> Uncharted 40% Last Copy


Damn you! I drove there for just that reason!

Union/Springfield/US 22 NJ CC got mauled from Friday to today Saturday and at least 75% of games must have been sold overnight.

Still available as of 2 pm Saturday
about 8 different Wii games including DeBlob, Lego Indy
about 30 different 360 games
about 20 different PS3 games with 5 copies of Resistance 2, EndWar, TNA Impact, All Pro Football, CivRev, R&C:ToD, Motorstorm Pacific, Eldfer Scrolls GOTY, Simpsons, Lego Star Wars, SW Force Unleashed, Battle field Bad Company, Transformers, FarCry2, Stuntman Ignition, TH Proving Ground, some GH or Rock Band discs
200 copies of Horton Hears a Who on DVD :bouncy:


Woodbridge NJ had 10 copies of Soul Calibur 4 for PS3

[babycarlitos]

i wanna thank the guy who bought all 90 ps3 controllers (yep all 90 in one receipt) and left none for people like me... thanks...

[shivaedge]

Anyone in SoCal see Rock Band 2 Cymbal Expansion kits? Specifically the triple kit?

[hitme]

Picked up Fallout 3 CE for PC tonight for $37 and change in Santa Cruz, CA. There was one left ... if anyone's interested in trading for the 360 version, I'm game (remember the PC version has DLC + mods so I'd say it's the best of the 3 ... but I just miss playing it on my TV every now and then ;-) ).

Most of the Bay Area CC's seem pretty cleaned out ... anyone know of any well stocked CC's around here ... possibly north of SJ?

I was at over at downtown SF's CC on Wednesday. There was around 20 bundles of GHIII/GHWT for the PS3/360/Wii and around 10 RB1 bundles for the PS3. There were plenty of Dual Shock 3s as well. Most of the PS3 games were cleaned out, only left with crappy games. Most cameras were gone. There are some computer stuff, TVs left.

I laughed when I saw lots of HDMI cables laying around.

Anyone been to the Daly City/Colma CC?

[jpthe3]

Hey C.A.G's Is their any CC in So Cal/Los Angeles that has the PS3 DS3 controller?

[jpthe3]

i wanna thank the guy who bought all 90 ps3 controllers (yep all 90 in one receipt) and left none for people like me... thanks...

Wow I hope there is some by my CC..where is this btw?

[n64ra]

to the person who hid a copy of left 4 dead (pc) behind a bunch of dvds, thank you! I was sad to have missed it from amazon's black friday special, but $25 at cc was the next best thing!

and yes i prefer boxed copies over digital copies

[wune]

to the person who hid a copy of left 4 dead (pc) behind a bunch of dvds, thank you!

Haha I saw a bunch of games hidden when I was there last.

[IAmTheCheapestGamer]

i wanna thank the guy who bought all 90 ps3 controllers (yep all 90 in one receipt) and left none for people like me... thanks...

Did you actually witness this or was it just from what the employees told you? Since accessories were only 30-40% off, that's still NOT that good of a deal for them, but then again some people think you can make money on ANYTHING.

Hopefully, if it was a hoarder who took ALL of them in one shot, they end up listing them on Ebay and get ALOT of non paying bidders and are stuck with them for a while.

Either way, I've got my fingers crossed that the powerline kit manages to stay at my CC until next week at least. Otherwise, there was jack and shit there that I wanted yesterday when I checked.

I'm surprised to say that the game system kiosks already disappeared from BOTH stores, since normally those are sold on one of the final days in business.

That is, unless the respective companies decided to come by and take back them, but that would be unusual since every store closing I've been to has sold them dead last(even after telling me that 'they have to be shipped back to <insert game company>') and never shipped them back.

Only problems with buying a kiosk like that are:

1) they may be on for 18+ hours a day
2) the stores may not have the keys to get into the compartment where the system is

Only good part about the newer console kiosks is that they come with a sweet LCD tv for each kiosk nowadays instead of some 150 lb SDtv.

Otherwise though, I'd have even bit on the PS3 or Wii one, since chances are the PS3 in it is a 20-60gb model, but they usually want $250 for these fuckin' things.

[progman3]

Honolulu, HI - 2/22/09 will be the last day. Right now 70% off games. 80% strategy guides. There's pretty much only some 360 Dark Sector(s) left. DVDs 70% off - A bunch of Smallville Season DVDs, Dark Knight, Step Brother, and some 3 pack Blu-Rays. Down to the slim pickens.

[oasisboy]

Saw a lady today at Sand Lake/OBT (Orlando) with 4 of those red carry thingys filled w/ dvds.

Had it been nighttime, she might've gotten robbed, Im just saying. haha

Sounds likes a FT Ebay seller.

[oasisboy]

Denton, TX is pretty much useless now for games. Around 3pm they still had a CE of Saints Row 2 and 20+ Halo 3 copies. Now, I am just waiting for 70% drop on DVDs and CDs and see what I can get.

[dabamus]

I may run back to down Canton OH next Wednesday when I go home if they are still open.

I don't expect to find much, unless the PC section is still in pretty good shape.

[dennisb407]

I saw the most shocking thing when I went to that CC today...an employee helping a customer.

I jumped on my phone and called Ripley, telling him you're not going to believe this

[Ecto311]

Got the new castlevania on DS and grand theft auto san andreas for the PC for $22 not too bad. I wanted the new sonic RPG for half off but it wasn't there anymore.

[oasisboy]

I saw the most shocking thing when I went to that CC today...an employee helping a customer.

Haha :lol:

That happened to me yesterday when an employee explained to my wife and I the difference in paper quality for a printer. He was very thorough, professional and attentive. My wife told me that this employee was very professional because he probably already found a job somewhere else and does not want to burn his identity :lol:

Lol. People always try to hide things and it's usually gone when they came back.

I managed to snag the last Fallout 3 CE guide (out of 3) because someone hid it near all the City of Heroes/Villains guides/3-ring binders. My CC had a ton of those.

[saigumi]

Just got back from the St. Louis South County store. Gamers, unless you want a Rock Band or Guitar Hero Instrument, don't bother going. Looks like the place got wiped since last night.

[J7.]

2 movies I bought I found out were shrinkwrapped when I got home, but they look mint. Is this anything to worry about? I think someone said something about shrinkwrapping earlier?

[shrike4242]

Just got back from the St. Louis South County store. Gamers, unless you want a Rock Band or Guitar Hero Instrument, don't bother going. Looks like the place got wiped since last night.It sounds like the last bits of games left over as of Thursday had been cleaned out.

[burritoman]

Just got back from barboursville, WV.

CLEANED OUT! Not many games, nothing worth paying even $3 for. Had a bunch of GH and RB bundles. DVD section was picked clean, except for about 100 copies of "SEX and the Shitty" movie.

CDs were generally strewn about everywhere and didn't bother to look.

PCs were 10% off, and cameras were 30%. Accessories were picked clean and they had a lot of webcams, and $40 mice (after discount), but no trackballs.

When I was there a month ago they really didn't have much, and as I look back on it, they really never did.

Might hit Charleston, WV tomorrow after I visit my grandpa.

[Rig]

Surprised at how much stuff was still at the Bloomington, IL store. The Decatur store had absolutely nothing decent a week ago, so I expected to find the same thing in Bloomington.

I didn't pick anything up...nothing really interested me. Still, they've got quite a bit.

[rpgamer92]

The circuit city by my place closed down like five days ago, all i was able to get was some blank cd/dvd

[Arkay Firestar]

I went BACK to my CC today and found a Gears of War 2 tucked away in the PC section. I was actually going back to get Crysis Warhead, which I'd passed on at 15, but it was gone, and I was SOOOO tempted for GoW2 at 30, but I already got Fable 2 and had promised myself to buy more PC games since I have a brand new rig, so I put it back, very reluctantly. I doubt it lasted long, it was most certainly the last one left, someone must have tried to hide it in the PC section, or they got new inv. and they just threw it wherever.

Encinitas, CA store, btw.

[Arkay Firestar]

2 movies I bought I found out were shrinkwrapped when I got home, but they look mint. Is this anything to worry about? I think someone said something about shrinkwrapping earlier?

Some blu ray's and fewer DVDs are shipped from the Mfg. with shrinkwrap instead of the diamond wrap, but its far less common. you should certainly be careful if its shrinkwrapped, but store wrap and mfg. wrap, even when you're talking about shrinkwrap, are usually easily distinguishable. Look for the top and bottom, where the heat cut/seal was done, to be crooked and not resting entirely on the top or bottom edge of the case, and usually the store wrap is a thinnier, wispier material.

Again, you could have just bought a movie that was shipped from the manufacturer shrinkwrapped, so don't worry too much, especially if it works and looks in good order.

[Game_Dude_3]

How much are the guides going for? I saw the Fallout 3 guide and I'm tempted to get it, but I forgot to ask about the price when I was there. I could use it as the game is huge.

[PapaSmerf]

How much are the guides going for? I saw the Fallout 3 guide and I'm tempted to get it, but I forgot to ask about the price when I was there. I could use it as the game is huge.

The softcover guide should be $10 or less. Unlikely to find the hardcover as they have been bought up at full price most places I have seen.

Generally, 60%+ off

Your boxed copy doesn't offer any advantages over the digital version. You can't sell it or trade it away once it's been activated.

[J7.]

That's a relief. I was in a rush so I did not check them in store even though I should have. They were both sealed along the sides instead of top and bottom.

LOL Sex and the shitty! that was funny man.

[rarebucky]

I did ok at my store which had a surprising ok selection of stuff:

Sonic Chronicles - $17.50
Darkstalkers PSP - $6.50
Fable Xbox (original release) - $5
Step Brothers blu-ray - $17.50

They also had Ratchet & Clank Size Matters for PS2 for $15 but I am going to wait until it drops further.

[egorka]

Reporting from Dickson City, PA...

Xbox 360 stuff is almost totally cleaned out... The only thing they have is GH Aerosmith fir 39.99 minus 50%.. And a bunch of overpriced GH bundles...

Nothing else... It's worse picked over than the Willes Barre store!!!!

[J7.]

So is each store closing down at different times based on inventory or is there some date when this is all over?

[karkyco]

i wanna thank the guy who bought all 90 ps3 controllers (yep all 90 in one receipt) and left none for people like me... thanks...

HAHAHA he should be easy enough to find, just look for the guy listing them on eBay that's located in your area...then pay him a visit!

[dabamus]

I had a very helpful employee when I bought my Zune alarm clock a few weeks ago at CC.

He helped me find a power adapter for it from a different iHome device, and then he let me test it out with my Zune to make sure it worked. :)

[wolve]

Anybody in SoCal spot any copies of COD WaW? Anywhere in the OC or even the LA area? I'll be visiting family in Pasadena this weekend.

There's a shitload of them for X360 and PS3 at the Torrance, CA store. I was just there Friday evening.

[n64ra]

Your boxed copy doesn't offer any advantages over the digital version. You can't sell it or trade it away once it's been activated.

It does, for me, offer an advantage over the digital copy. It sits on my shelf next to all the other pc games. Downloaded games kinda get lost in the memory.

[buster90]

My CC is pretty cleaned out. They have like 20 copies of Stranglehold left and that is it.

[nativetongue88]

exton, pa.....soul calibur 4 and guitar hero packages. the only decent game stuff left.

[dark_zack]

How much are the xbox 360's going for there?

[david12795]

How are the HDTV deals? Should I wait longer?

[Sharp Katana]

well i went to CC again tonight and they probably had 30 games total on the floor. They had San Andreas, War hawk, Brothers in Arms: HH, and some DS games behind Customer Service but everything else was cleaned out.

[mwc547]

Framingham and Dartmouth MA stores are cleaned out. Maybe 10 different DVD's but like 100 copies of each, nothing good though. Nothing for 360 games except GH and RB.

[cycophuk]

Went by the CC in Sugar Land, Tx yesterday. Games fairly cleaned out there as well. There were about 4 PS3 games left. On the flip side, they had multiple copies of the various Guitar Hero bundles available and there were around 50 360 Pro consoles sitting at the front of the store for $175. Their Blu-Ray movie selection was pitiful too.

Any Houston CAGs know of any other CC to check out in the SW part of Houston?

[One4Deuce]

How are the HDTV deals? Should I wait longer?
There won't be deals on TVs worth getting at Circuit City throughout the entire liquidation phase.

[shoe478]

There won't be deals on TVs worth getting at Circuit City throughout the entire liquidation phase.

Edit: I agree

You are better off to hit the sales. Costco has a 42" Vizio for $599.99. Check out the dreaded SD for more info.

[nietzsche74]

I keep buying up $10-$20 Adventure games

I LOVE me Adventure games!!! :D


I mean $5-$10, 50% OFF

I'm going to take a leap and assume you picked up "Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals" for the PC. Could you (or anyone else who might have bought it) tell me how much you paid for it? I saw one tagged at something like $29 (but apparently tags don't mean anything at my store...), but passed it up because I didn't realize at the time it was based on the same graphic novel as the movie "Immortal".

Anyway, went to the Staten Island CC today. A small collection of 360 games (mainly sports titles), a $49.99 copy of Battlefield 2 for the original xbox, some PS2 games, 1 or 2 Wii games in the DVD section, didn't notice any PS3 titles. They still had a decent amount of PC games though, including some Fallout lunchboxes and Diablo Warchests. Picked up a Neverwinter Nights 2 for $12, a little more than half of what was on the most recent-looking tag (apparently all the tags are wrong there, so I'm told...)

Should also mention that they had plenty of copies of Hancock...

[Donken]

I went to the Idaho Falls Circuit City today, pretty much cleaned out. The former game section has caution tape around it. They still have some PC games I have never heard of and lots of copies of Rockband and Guitar Hero for PS2, other then that, I didn't see any products that even said Wii on the packaging, still quite a few DVD's but all older ones.

[bosskid30]

I see like 10-15 commercials each day by me.
get a DVR, its worth it

Thanks for the tip.

and shoe, im looking for a 26-32 inch tv. I think 42 is too much for me. lol

but thanks for the info.




and just curious, im interested in guitar hero for the ps3. How much does the bundle usually go for? is it best to get one at circuit city now?

I saw that tv last weekend, very nice for the price. Wish I could afford it. The 32'' Vizio is $550, so 10'' more for $50. They had 2 left and it looked like it was being replaced by a new 42'' Vizio model for $699.99. 1080P too.

[SuperJedi]

What do guys think is the % that Guitar Hero Bundles will be cleaned out?

50?

[Doomstink]

What do guys think is the % that Guitar Hero Bundles will be cleaned out?

50?

World Tour will probably sell out at 50%. Aerosmith will make it to 60-70%. Guitar Hero III might hit 60%. Just my guesses. There's seriously like 40 GH Aerosmith 360 bundles at my CC. I don't think they've moved a single unit since the liquidation started.

[RelentlessRolento]

I might pick up a spare guitar controller for rock band...

[SuperJedi]

Are these Monster Cables really MUCH better than those cheapies at Monoprice?

If they go 80-90% I might get one.

[SakBee]

Most of the monster cables left here are the 500 Series HDMIs for $45 after the discount off...but the 500 series does not even offer 1080p *sigh*

[SuperJedi]

*Sigh*

Guess right now, I am gonna wait for 60% (On Thursday) - 50% for Social games.

Nothing else I want now for 50%.

[Wildgift]

Anyone in LA seen Fable 2? Thanks.

[JokerCard]

Bought Farcry 2 for the $30...Didnt see much else left at my CC.

Also bought the Incredible Hulk (2008) Blu-ray for $17.50. It's sad when this was the only and last of the good titles left for blu. Slim pickings at my CC.

[anch]

I might pick up rockband2 when it hits 60%.
any also any TVs that are left at 80% :P

Wow! A local CAGer! I thought I was the only one here. Your right about the CC being cleaned out. All they had for 360 games was Stranglehold, GH Aerosmith and Spiderman 3.

[MrChan]

I might pick up rockband2 when it hits 60%.
any also any TVs that are left at 80% :P
If your store still has rockband 2, then by all means get it ASAP. 1st day of liquidation I saw like 3 people get rb2 (with only one left). I've recently checked again and all I saw was rockband 1.

[Anexanhume]

Anyone in LA seen Fable 2? Thanks.

There were several at hawthorne CA when I was there Thursday. However, since a weekend day has passed, it's plausible they got cleaned out today.

[Radioactive_Man]

Got Fallout 3 CE PC version for $35 at pasadena cc

[FWF Vash]

The Monrovia CA store seems to be nearly cleaned out of video games. Only thing I saw of note were Too Human and Silent Hill Homecoming for the 360. They had 2 or 3 GH World Tour band kits at 40%. All I wanted was the damn game or the guitar combo lol. There's still a few GH Aerosmith there as well.

[h0mi]

Hit the San Diego stores at pt loma, La Mesa and Clairemont. Not a whole lot unless you're looking for guitar hero games.

[geekpimpfx]

I may run back to down Canton OH next Wednesday when I go home if they are still open.

I don't expect to find much, unless the PC section is still in pretty good shape.


I may be heading there today, anything in particular you're looking for, I can keep my eyes peeled

[SakBee]

Any fellow CAGs in the Northwest Illinois, the Algonquin CC off at Randall Rd still have about 53 (yes, 53) X-Box 360 Arcades left for $139.99.... I thought about getting one but with so many still left, I'm hoping they might do another drop sooner rather than later.

[zenintrude]

I might pick up a spare guitar controller for rock band...

no you won't

[Derrick1979]

Any info on the Brookfield,WI store fellow WI CAG, anything left out there?

[slikwilly]

Huh. I was in there Monday and that place was extremely picked over. There wasn't a console or "social game" to be seen. The McHenry store however, was loaded.

[SakBee]

The X-Box 360s are inside the cages where the digital cameras used to be. Gonna be back there later on today to see how many more they have left.

[karkyco]

What do guys think is the % that Guitar Hero Bundles will be cleaned out?

50?

They already are getting cleared out ('m talking World Tour), so if you can still find them at 50% off (next Thursday hopefully) then jump on them. Of course, they will no doubt be found for half off come this Black Friday, but whatever...

As for Aerosmith and GH3 bundles, I wouldn't bother. At least not until 90% off LOL.

[karkyco]

Anyone in LA seen Fable 2? Thanks.

Yeah, I saw a few in the Culver City store on Thursday and Friday, scattered all over the store. 1 in the PS2 section, a couple in the cases, and a couple behind the front counter. No doubt gone by now though...

Damn, what gets my goat is that I didn't see any copies of Dragon Quest 4, Chrono Trigger etc. for the DS. While I paid roughly $20 for each new and sealed already, I would have loved to have gotten a few extra sealed copies of each for trade bait or to put away.

And whoever recommended Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ - thanks and I hate you. Damn that game is crazy fun but can be crazy hard, at least until you get comfortable with the control scheme. Man it reminds me of Ikari Warriors in the arcade, with the octagonal joystick you would twist for aiming.

[PopcornBandit]

The CC in Concord, NC had no video games (except for Guitar Hero 3 for 360/PS3) and the only accessories I saw were the Wii-mote gloves.

[Derrick1979]

Might sound like a dumb question but no one has mentioned this to my understanding but with this liquidation are they still running under normal store hours or are they open earlier?

Thanks

[Lt Dan]

I ran in there yesterday and they said they had both the normal and collectors edition of Saints Row 2 for $30, but their inventory system was messed up and they didn't actually have it.

Thought it might help (I wont spend more than $30 for Saints Row 2, and this was my chance at least for a little while longer :-/)

[mikejack12]

Are these Monster Cables really MUCH better than those cheapies at Monoprice?

If they go 80-90% I might get one.
If they are 80-90% off then I would still not buy them. I buy my cables off of monoprice.com. They are cheap and works the same as those monster cables. Only $1 for each cable. I already bought 10 HDMI 6ft and a couple digital audio cables for a total price of only $15.

[sunnysky]

do they have improvements for people with systems ranging in the $50,000 range? maybe.
Do they have an noticable differences for many of use with Sub $5,000 systems? not unless you are an audiophile or videophile who has has professional training.
They are Never worth full price. I can see grabbing some at 85% off. But I feel horible for the people who actually fall for the "sales pitch" and buy them at full price when they buy a new tv, or sound system.

For HDMI, they are in fact NOT AT ALL better than the ones at monoprice. In fact, I don't remember the technical facts, but I've seen one guy that showed the monoprice ones are actually better overall.

Thing is, it's a digital signal, so there is no degradation, so the monster cables at best are perfectly equal to monoprice. If you're talking something other than HDMI, that would be different, but for HDMI there is really no reason whatsoever to buy monster.

[Slappybob]

In case no one has posted yet...Austin stores are dead for Games. I didnt see anythign worth buying at %50 off unless you wanted crap games, Rockband for PS2 or 100 copies of Alone in the Dark for 360.

Movies aren't too bad.

[luan87us]

stopped by a CC yesterday. They had 40% off video games/accessories. Of course the selection is very limited. Found G9 laser mouse for $55, Cyborg gaming mouse $45. Didn't pick them up, gonna try to wait for more clearance, may be around $40-45 for the G9 i'll bite.

Not at all especially with anything digital. Another case I have a pair of cheapo S video and a pair of monster cable ones for my ps2. No difference at all its just a brand.

[Daran]

I hit up the Circuit City in Boca Raton and picked up Lost Odyssey for 15 bucks. Also went to the Margate store and got a copy of Mass Effect for 10 bucks. A friend of mine was able to snag Ultima Online 10th anniversary edition (PC) for 2.50 there as well.

[LakersForLife82481]

has anyone seen COD WAW or WWE SVR 09 in the LA area? 30 bucks -25(for gift card) = $5 for one of these!

Find someone who works at Best Buy and get them to buy a cable for you with their employee discount. My friend got me an $80.00 RocketDog HDMI cable for somewhere around $5.00. Monster Cables are probably only $15.00 for employees.

I don't feel sorry for them - they're fucking idiots, same as dumbshits who spend 50K plus for audio systems...or even 5K for that matter. But as they say, a fool and his money are soon parted...but hey, different strokes for different folks!

Where abouts are you located? My recommendation is to try to hit all the stores in your area. Hopefully, that's somewhere near the west side, because Hawthorne had COD WAW copies. No idea on the wrestling game, you could try Culver City though. And is this for PS3 or 360?

[jallen]

yep i won't buy monster cable just on principle. I refuse to give my business to any company that takes advantage of uninformed people like that. Which is also why i despise geek squad/firedog. Even if you can get an employee discount on em, fuck monster cable.

Do giftcards still work at CC? I know everyone on here was yelling for everyone to use up their giftcards back in Novemberish because of the rumblings about CC not surviving through the holidays.

[N3UROP0D]

I stopped by the Hicksville, NY store yesterday. There were actually a lot of 360 and PC games. Not to mention a ridiculous amount of Guitar Hero bundles. Even saw one of those real wood guitar controllers.

Anyone have any idea when the stores are closing, like the last day they'll be open? I wouldn't mind being there for that.

Hey Dude, I am near the Margate store.:) Was there much 360 games? You think it is worth a trip? Thanks.
