Was at local BB and saw they had two Holiday bins , was hard to get next to them since all the soccer moms were crowding the bins . Will go back and see if I can get more titles

one was games at $14.99

Games like

Hour Of Victory 360
Kengo Legend of the 9 360
Ton of Learning Games for the PS2 by Konami

Games at the other bin for $9.99

Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer 360 PS3 and PS 2
Godfather PS2
Made Men PS2
Justice League Heros DS
Conan - 360 PS3
Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix 360
NBA 08 360

Im sure this is YMMV but I would think all BB will put out holiday bins

I've seen these at multiple BBs. I was going to make a post, but honestly couldn't remember the noteworthy titles. Lost in Blue 3 was 14.99 (would have bought at 9.99) and the Warhammer game for PSP was 9.99 (which I did buy)
They also had Crazy Taxi for PSP for 14.99. I thought it was 9.99, so I was kind of disappointed.

Oh god, avoid Hour of Victory like the plague. What an absolutely horrible game.

Some of the other ones there sound like they might be worth trying out.

I too saw Conan for $9.99 for PS3. I just sold my copy for that exact same price in another forum. About all it's worth imo, but I can confirm it and HP Order of the Phoenix and Hour of Victory as well.

i got DBZ: Shin Budokai Another Road for $9.99...i was waiting for a decent price on it

I picked up that Godzilla DS game for $9.99 from the bin. Figured it was worth it.

dcswirl

10-30-2008, 04:17 AM

I would pick up Conan on 360 for that price.

I also saw Conan and FF:RoSS for $9.99 at a Best Buy near Pico.

IAmTheCheapestGamer

10-30-2008, 07:19 AM

You can get FF: ROTSS from Kmart for $5, if you can find it. Otherwise, these bins will be filled with the same big bag of meh like last year.

These bins were put out nationwide and each store should have between 1-3. The prices ARE nationwide as well. (my local store still has a separate clearance section.) I saw them at 5 different BBs.

Picked up Harry Potter (360) and God Hand (Ps2) for $10 each. Thanks, OP.

10-30-2008, 12:57 PM

...God Hand (Ps2) for $10....

Only game posted so far worth $10, if you ask me. I mean, I got FF: ROTSS (360) for free and I felt ripped off.

Best Buy bargain bin/clearance stuff is extremely YMMV, though, so there's a chance that some might find a few good deals. Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Conan is easily worth $10 if you like a decent GOW clone. I had a lot of fun playing through it.

Sounds like a re-naming of the clearance racks. Thanks for the update on the titles available though.

This is probably the best deal I've ever gotten in my life...

So I walk in looking for these clearance bins, and don't see them. But while looking for it, I find a shelf with a bunch of games with red stickers on them. I asked a manager what the red stickers were for, and she told me "4 for $25".

In total I got 16 games. With Christmas right around the corner, it was a good place to shop.

360 DDR Universe 2 Bundle (x4)
PS3 Jericho
PS3 The Bigs
PS3 Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
360 Soldier of Fortune: Payback
360 Stranglehold
360 Spiderman 3
360 Dark Messiah: Might and Magic Elements
360 The Simpsons Game (x2)
360 Fear Files
360 Virtua Fighter 5
360 X-Men: The Official Game

All for a grand total of $108 including tax...Go ahead...Be Jealous!

Oh yeah, the girl who told me the price was 4 for $25, shes was one of the 2 managers working. She had to come up and override the price of each game. I think she may have told me wrong because when I was leaving, I saw her getting yelled at. :(

See ya there!

I either go there or Westbury. I rarely see clearance at either of them, and its usually complete garbage. I did manage to score a GHII bundle there a while back for like $25. The Commack best buy often has good clearance stuff if you're ever out there.

Bins at Glendale, CA location were also 14.99. Found Power Stone Collection for PSP and picked that up. Not too interested in the rest.

No bin in the Williston VT store...

Probably because they have not had any of the games listed so far for months.

The Williston BB is effin terrible for clearance games. When I lived up there the buyer up there was damn efficient so there was never much of anything left over to clearance.

I didn't see any titles mentioned above for PS3 only thing I saw were random PSP games priced such as Maverick Hunter at 14.99

Coral Springs Best Buy: Only :360: game I saw was Harry Potter. They did have FFROSS & Conan for the :ps3: as well as a bunch of :ps2: games.

BTW, :360: Conan was still on the shelves for $19.99????

I NEVER find any deals at Best Buy, anyway.:cry:

Confirmed both Holiday bins at the Bestbuy near Town East Mall, They all games from first post still available, the bins are on the left corridor after entering the store walking to the games section, got Conan for PS3 for $9.99, again I saw copies of all games still available from earlier posts.

Didn't see any in Lawrence, KS yesterday. I'm not a fan of our Best Buy - it never has any clearance titles, or the "clearance" prices are still very high. :cry:

I picked up Conan for the 360 with Gamestop's Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal and I'm really enjoying it. Well worth the price I paid and the game is fairly decent.

Conan is very underrated. Sure, it's no graphical powerhouse, nor is it deep in storyline, but the combat is cool and the moves you can unlock/buy are plentiful. It's a fun hack-n-slash.

Visited BB at South Coast a few days ago to pick up some dvds, They're re-doing the layout for the store right now and the game section seems pretty retarded, its just a square that you are trapped in, but yeah no clearance bins, just two bins piled up with 360 controllers and the other for ps3 but all retail price. Maybe I'll check tom. to see if anything has changed.

gantt

11-03-2008, 03:26 AM

Seems to me a lot of the games I saw in these bins were previously available on the shelf for the same price.

Picked up God Hand for $9.99, though, which I don't recall seeing at BB in a while, if ever.

hobbie8046

11-03-2008, 11:29 AM

No bins (yet?) in Fredericksburg or Stafford VA. Would really like to pick up Conan and finish it; terrible game, but still fun enough to warrant 9.99.

I struggled with the same dilemma, but in the end I kept thinking that was $10 I could use on one of these awesome new releases. They won out over this mediocre game at any price.

Wilton/Saratoga NY Best Buy has this bin out as well. I saw Conan and FF4 Rise Silver Surfer for the PS3 and Harry Potter for 360 each for $9.99. Also, Godzilla DS for $9.99. A Bunch of PS2 titles as well.

I was picking up my $9.99 Simpsons (4 or 5 left that i saw) and noticed Stranglehold for the 360 is also $9.99

Josef

Mine also had Space Chimps (360) for $10, DOAXBV2 for $8 (about 10 copies), and Trigger Man (PS2) for $3. This was at the San Antonio Legacy BB. No F4, Conan (got the last one), or Harry Potter. They did have 2 more Simpson 360.

Shimrra

11-04-2008, 02:28 PM

Just got back from BB in Manhattan NYC and they did have 2 copies left of Simpson with the Tab indicating the $10 price tag but when it scanned up it was still coming up priced at $20. They corrected the mistake but just to let some ppl out there know that some BB do not have a clearance bin but have the game on the shelfs where I found my game.

I find it amusing that some of the games I bought appear on the receipt with the description "Holiday Dumpbin." Don't try to sugarcoat it or anything, BB. Apparently the person who entered the description into the POS was previously known for marketing sushi as "cold dead fish."

Best Buy in Tupelo, MS has a bunch of copies of Madden 09 Collector's Edition for 360 (didn't see any PS3 copies) for $19.99. I'm guessing they're just trying to clear out a bunch of them they couldn't sell - but that's an amazing price.

Just stopped by the Brooklyn, Ohio BB. The bins were pretty much garbage. I think the only few 360 titles in the bins were basically around 8 copies of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix mixed in with various Xbox, PS2, and PSP titles. I did see on the shelves Conan (360) for $14.99. I did see one copy of Virtua Fighter 5, but it was $39.99 instead of $9.99.

Disgaea got the Greatest Hits label treatment recently, so that should be the standard price on the shelf at just about any store. Still a good deal if you don't have the game yet, but it's not unique to the holiday bins.

The bins at my local BB disappeared yesterday. They were where the checkout line makes a u-turn. I doubt they sold out all, or even a majority of the games in them. It's possible they were moved to another part of the store, but I didn't see them.

BTW, based on the queue at BB yesterday, there is no recession.

i agree with most of the posters here. I was in delaware near dover (the dover mall to be exact) on nov. 11th and the best buy out there had huge bins of games but mostly crap. however they were getting rid of a whole bunch of box sets. by far my greatest haul was a brand new copy of the limited edition halo 3 for 39.99. they had a ton of them. the game was still retailing for 59.99 but because they wanted to dump the LE's they were giving them away. i would say they had about 11 copies. i can confirm that sale on halo LE's for that location but i would check other bb as well.

Every best buy I have visted have had two bins (ones 9.99 and the other 14.99). The problem is that the games get mixed up between the bins, and many aren't labeled, so you sometimes aren't sure without asking if it's 9.99 or 14.99

After going to two different BBs I was looking for the 360 version of Conan but couldn't find it in the bins. They had crap-tons of the PS3 version and I picked it up instead but this is the kind of game that would have been enhanced with some achievements to shoot for.

For all of you whom are buying Conan...

Its a great game IMHO ...great game...I enjoyed it a lot and recommend it...(and I bought it when it first came out at full price)

However I offer this small word of advice...

Have LOTS of patience when you fight the last boss.

That is all....you've been warned.
