[sblymnlcrymnl]

Thanks trust

[Gothic Walrus]

Wow...talk about being early. Good job, trust. :)

Nothing overly exciting yet. It might be worth getting one of the two Pokémon games at Target, because we sure as heck won't be seeing their prices drop any lower in the near future...

[The_Continental]

jeez - you got this info early this time around - thanks!

[el bobo]

Wow, very impressive, thanks!

[biggestinuyashafan]

wow,that was really quick,too bad i don't get paid until next monday (which i am getting a Xbox with).

[Edge]

Damn, I want one of those time machines...

Not much of intrest next week, but thanks for posting it of course!

[notoriousxbox]

$39.99

Law & Order Criminal Intent - The Third Year
Law & Order Special Victims Unit - The Fifth Year

What exactly are these. The Law & Order seasons on dvd arent that far yet ?

[JCDenton]

Incredibly smooth Trust.


Crappy ads though. Let's all gather round for a cheapassprayer that Best Buy will come through.

[ecaroh]

Thanks man.

I know it's still early, but I was hoping someone would have Burnout 3 for $39.99. This is one of the few games that I can't afford to be a cheap ass and wait months for a price drop.

However my cheapass will buy from a store that price matches!!!

[chickenhawk]

Nothing for me, but thanks!!!

[Trakan]

Thanks for getting the list so far in advance, TC.

[pimpinc333]

Does it say the exact release date for Fable no one around my parts knows if its on tuesday, weds, or thursday plz tell me lol

[Trakan]

Does it say the exact release date for Fable no one around my parts knows if its on tuesday, weds, or thursday plz tell me lol

AFAIK, September 14th.

[JohnnyDrama]

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be picking up Pokemon Fire Red at Target.

[akilshohen]

u sure that's the full thing? Not doubting you, but doesn't Def Jam fight for NY come out on the 14th? I also really gotta wonder why CC is advertising Silent Hill 4 so late?

[maxflight]

thanks for the post!

[Nirvanaguy777]

very early, thanks

[cmdryuk]

thanks for being so early... another week or mostly just advertised retail prices and no sales... Pokemon at Target looks good though...

[DisturbedZen]

Hot damn that was fast. Nice.

its exactly what it says....these bastards seem to think that we wont mind buying the 2nd or 3rd season of something, only to jump to the 14th season....its retarded imo....i wont buy any shows/movies out of order

[sj41]

Not much in these ads. Thanks for getting them out so early, Trust.

[racerman8]

Fry's in the SF/SJ/Oak Bay Area will have Pokemon for $23.99 each (FireRed or LeafGreen). Available by 4pm on Thursday 9/9.

[CouRageouS]

Man I was hoping CC would give a $10 GC with Pokemon. $27.99 is still okay though since I got a GC from Day of Reckoning..but still. Maybe next week. Thanks again for the heads up Trust!

[ohvermie]

u sure that's the full thing? Not doubting you, but doesn't Def Jam fight for NY come out on the 14th? I also really gotta wonder why CC is advertising Silent Hill 4 so late?

Def Jam FFNY is coming out week of Sept 20th.

Thanks for posting the ads Trust.

[Magician]

Extremely early trust. Thanks so much for the info!

[smartasien]

Do you guys think target will let me substitute socom, jak ii, or ratchet and clank for Final Fantasy x-2 (44% offf) since they're not the same price?

[Renzokuken]

Whoa that was pretty quick. Thank you for ur weekly contributions trust!

[craven_fiend]

As usual trusts comes up big again. thanks for the heads up.

[Murcielago77]

thx for the early deal trust. Damn that really was fast this weeks deals just kicked off yesterday and you already got next weeks. Nice Job

[HOTSHIET]

Incredibly fast, thanks trust, too bad ads are craptastic.

[sying]

Crap, I'm not even done with this week's ad yet. Nothing spectacular on this update. I can't wait for the After Thanksgiving sale. One of my favorite day's of the year.

Silent Hill 4 w/ $10 GC

I thought MSRP on this game was 39.99 everywhere.

[Kaijufan]

I hope BB has some good things in their ad.

CIRCUIT CITY
PS2
$49.99

Silent Hill 4 w/ $10 GC

I thought MSRP on this game was 39.99 everywhere.

It is. They put it at $49.99 so they wouldn't lose any money with an extra GC.

[The Mana Knight]

The Sly 2 deal sounds good, but I really don't want to go to Circuit City again after the argument I had with the idiot employee who worked there when I bought Star Ocean 3. The more he talked, the more dumb he became. He kept telling me FFXII is already released in Japan and it comes out this Christmas, just because the game was on CC schedule to release then, when Square Enix said themselves it won't be out until later in 2005. He also kept trying to get me to have interest in Fable, when I told him several times that I have read a lot about it, just doesn't cater to my interest.

[rumblebear]

does BB's GGC work in circuit city? Are there any special process for them to accept it?

[notoriousxbox]

That has to be one of the dumbest thing I have ever seen before. Me and my wife have started picking up the series on dvd, The original Law & order only has the first 2 seasons on dvd already and SVU has the 1st season.

[BustaUppa]

Do you guys think target will let me substitute socom, jak ii, or ratchet and clank for Final Fantasy x-2 (44% offf) since they're not the same price?Yes, unless the employees there decide to be asses. It can be any price, that's why they base their rainchecks on percentages rather than a dollar amount. Go for it!

[pimpinc333]

At GAMESTOP on the Game release board it says "Fable" release date 9/15 and i asked the dude and he checked computer and told me the 15...i wonder if they cant meet their pre orders for the 14 or they are just idiots like usual....ill prolly buy it else where now.

[shaneone]

Sept. 14th - Release date from Developer/Publisher.
Sept. 15th or 16th - When some Gamestop stores will receive the game and will start to sell them.

He told you the 15th because that is the day his shipment will arrive. The title is not big enough to warrant the expense of a same day sale. Remember there is shipping time from the developer/Publisher/Duplicators/Distributers to where ever your store is located. Mine is in upstate NY and we will receive it on the 16th. As far as pre-orders go, we can meet every one. Patience is the key and remember if is not a big title (Madden, Halo) it will be a couple days after the release date when the title will be available for purchase. Unless you are in Texas or California and a couple of other states, then it will be available the same day.

[pimpinc333]

Fable its a big thing lol

Price match it?

[tmoney]

Is it common knowledge that Socom 2, Jak 2, and Ratchet & Clank 2 are dropping to $19.99? The target ad is the first to list them, but it seems like they are going to be Greatest Hits now.

[DigitalSpace]

Those are GH now, and there is a thread about it here somewhere.

[Scorch]

What? Fable isn't big enough to warrant same-day?

Ehh, I guess it depends on your location. We got Silent Hill 4 same-day today. I didn't think that'd be enough to warrant same-day, but it is. Most EB's will have Fable in stock the afternoon of the 14th.. at least, mine will.

[shaneone]

Not saying Fable is not a big thing, but to Gamestop it is is not. I should have express that and I apologize for the oversight. I really don't know how they choose which titles to get on the same day. I guess they do it by reserves, if it is over a certain number, they will ask the store manager to pick it up at the New Jersey distribution center. God bless EB if they get it on the afternoon of the 14th because our store in Upstate NY will get it on the 15th. But reflecting upon the situation more, we still give out paper credit slips on trade-ins while EB has a rechargle card set-up. Go figure! Someone is doing something right! "Preparing my resume for a Manager position at EB!!!" and it is not Gamestop!

They became GH today (Tuesday). They are in this week's CC ad, and I picked Jak 2 and Jet Li (non-GH covers) up today for $15 each after using BB GGC competitor coupons.

[trunks982]

my CC dont accept BB GGC coupon. i want to use it on star ocean. the cashier went to ask the manager. she said only manufacturer's they accept. (and store coupon too)

[toona]

Wow, great job! Thanks!

Where in Upstate NY are you, im in the NEwburgh area

[Mishimaryu]

thanks, but nothing that special that catches my eye.

[totsmann]

Ahhh, fable at last.

[totsmann]

Probably gonna check fry's ad though.

[trunks982]

i went to bestbuy to price match my star ocean from CC. they didnt give me 10% difference and they didnt accept my GGC. what a bummer.

[gsr]

totsmann, get rid of that sig

it is fucking disturbing

[Murcielago77]

yea get that shaq-fuing shit away

[kaw]

yea get that shaq-fuing shit away

I agree. Save it for www.ratemypoo.com

[Irnmk21]

ugh

[DigitalSpace]

totsmann, get rid of that sig

it is shaq-fuing disturbing

That sig is right up there with DLF's manboobs. Ugh! :puke:

[mytoy333]

Thanks for the fast notice!

[The Successful Dropout]

Best Buy added

[trunks982]

pokemon 24.99 woohooo

[BustaUppa]

Target's website lists Jak II at $40 and SOCOM at $50. Think there's a chance of getting some MEATY rainchecks off of those, or will the stores regocnize them as budget GH titles?

[lordopus99]

^ most likely recognize the GH price but check anyway and tell me if it is HUGE :-k

Target outside of maybe ^ is Weak

[shrike4242]

Trust, as always, great job on bringing the cheapass info.

Thankfully, it's finally a week where there's nothing I want, having no PS/2 or being a Crackemon person, and with Fable already pre-ordered.

[rebenns]

Not much action this week. Unless you're still in to Pokemon, and I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Gold / Silver were released.

[MeGaWC27]

Alrite now i can get Rise To Honor with GGC, thanks for the heads up trust!

[DCGCPlayer]

WTF?! No love for Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus?!?! :(

[Ivanhoe]

BB prices

15.99 Man on Fire w/ BB Exclusive "Making Of" DVD

29.99 Everybody Loves Raymond S1

17.99 Home on the Range (save $5 when bought w/ any other Disney DVD)

[guessed]

I can see why you were in no rush to post the BB deals, this one is a stinker.

Thanks for posting, though, we all really appreciate the advance notice.

[Dok Diamond]

the pkmn games are good with the GGC.

[slidecage]

im sure nothing for PS 1-2 plus cause it was to come out in Aug and these things are printed up weeks in advance but i doubt u see it on sale

[Legolas813]

trustcompany: i know this is off-topic, but did you happen to see any cheap-ass microwaves in the ads for target or best buy?!?.........i need a new one for my dorm since my other one died (bought it from best buy and it croaked after only a year :( )

[hiccupleftovers]

wow, thanks for the ads Trust. And boy was it quick this time, well it is greatly appreciated.

[Murcielago77]

lame, i was hoping for a better sims 2 deal from best buy

[Ivanhoe]

only 2 microwaves in the BB ad

cheapest one is Sunbeam .7 CU FT 700watts for 44.99 (after 10 instant savings)

[Espanto]

Nothing stellar, but thanks for the post TC.

[Legolas813]

only 2 microwaves in the BB ad

cheapest one is Sunbeam .7 CU FT 700watts for 44.99 (after 10 instant savings)

thnx for the info......i'll have to check that one out......all though i really wish it was like last year when i found my current microwave on sale at best buy for 30 bucks........maybe thats why it died in a year, though, lol

[BackInBlack]

Pokemon Firered 20$ after GGC is an awesome deal. I'm also one who has not bought into Pokemon since Gold/Silver so it should be more interesting.

[bignick]

scooby doo looks good with the free pop tarts.

[The Successful Dropout]

scooby doo looks good with the free pop tarts.

or

the pop tarts look good with scooby doo

[Kaijufan]

RC: GC for $20 looks nice, but I still need to play the first one.

[FlamedLiquid]

No good dvd deals this week. Meh. Only THX.

Oh well. I can catch up on some old stuf I want to buy.

[ki3t]

Thank u trustcompany1013 for the early post!

If there is a Value City near you they have microwaves for around $30.
I don't know how good they are but its cheap...

Well in response to that... Our (GameStop) stores in NorthEast Ohio will have Fable Tuesday (the 14th) in the afternoon via Freight. I would at least assume a fair amount of stores will also have it in other regions.

[Richter]

no ads for them SF controllers?

[thesilentshadow30]

yea nothing worth getting this week

[miriamleo]

I guess I will pick up Pokemon Leaf Green at BB after GGC.

[Mishimaryu]

PS2 Silent Hill 4 w/ $10 GC at CC?

INteresting I thuoght the MSRP for that game was 40 bucks.

[Medium_Pimpin]

Think I'll wake up and get Call of duty and the expansion for $40(after GGC ) tommorrow.

[dracula]

mvp for 25 aftere the GGC is tempting but i waited this long, i can wait for it to get under five dollars in about six months

[shrike4242]

PS2 Silent Hill 4 w/ $10 GC at CC?

INteresting I thuoght the MSRP for that game was 40 bucks.

It is $39.99, though someone earlier in the thread pointed out that they're probably covering their $10 GC with the upcharge in price.

I'm curious if they'd PM it and give you the GC, since you could get it for $38.99 with a PM.

[TheGreat2nd]

Wow, this really sucks.
Anyway, I went to Circuit City last Sunday, looked for Chris Sawyer's Locomotion, not there.
I picked up a rain check.
So, after almost a week after it's release, it's still not on the circuitcity.com website or at my store.
X.x
Anybody else pick up Locomotion at Circuit City?
Good deal for $20 and if you have that PC Gamer coupon, you could mark it down to $10.

EDIT: Turns out it comes to CC today :roll:
It's been out for a while but it won't come til today.
Well, at least it's $10, can't beat that 8)
