Not sure how do to the fancy picture thing shipwreck did with last weeks microcenter deals. Also not sure if there are CAG referral linkks that need to be added.

[Strider Turbulence]

$1.99 for Manhunt 2 sure is nice.

[tsa4lyfe]

[crewj]

[AwRy108]

Shoot, no shipping from MircoCenter's, eh? I sure would like Star Ocean at that price.

[Arcademode]

Finally, a good deal on Star Ocean:SE. I've been looking for such a deal since the game came out!

(Thank you)^100

[shadowkast]

Damn microcenter being a 60 mile drive, thanx anyways OP

[Kenshin9]

Boo... Only one anywhere near me is out of Star Ocean... :(

Thanks though op.

[Wooten]

Damn microcenter being a 60 mile drive, thanx anyways OP

Yea nearest one for me is a little over an hour away... I'd love Mushroom Men for 10 bucks too :cry:

[VipFREAK]

I'm about 30min from one, but not really motivated by that list.

[Masterkyo]

Wow! I'll get sears or bestbuy pricematch with Microcenter. Hope i can manhunt 2, Castlevania, star ocean: 2nd. E and mushroom men for cheap :)

[lansop]

[Full Metal XL]

Damn, and I thought I scored when I got Manhunt 2 for $4 last year. $1.99 new is just sick...:twisted:

[spacegundam0079]

Picked up Mushroom Men and Manhunt , Thanks ! :)

[somahead33]

Damn. Mushroom Men and Star Ocean look pretty sweet at that price. No MicroCenters for me, though.

[bzchanboy]

Thanks for the heads up i'll walk over and pick up my order at lunch. Went for the Mushroom Man, Star Ocean combo great freaking price on Second Encounter (much better game than the first if memory serves me correct)

[eugaet]

I'd pick up Mushroom Men for that price if there was a Microcenter anywhere near me.

[botticus]

Ended up biting on Mushroom Men for myself, grabbed MM and Manhunt for a buddy.

[JazzFlight]

Picked up Mushroom Men and Star Ocean 2. Wish Star Ocean 1 was 20 or under, though.

[KiySeph]

Damn, the only one near me has no more copies of Star Ocean or Mushroom Men. I like their deals, but Micro Center never has enough in stock when these deals happen.

[lansop]

I'll be picking up at least manhunt 2 tonight, yay.

[crewj]

picked up mushroom men and castlevania for wii. dropped manhunt 2 since i already have it for the wii.

[gomikeoh]

Can someone pick up a mushroom men for me? Willing to pay shipping costs. I have no microcenters around here, would greatly appreciate it.

[crewj]

mushroom men is oos in chicago. sorry!

[Hibiwa]

Damn, the only one near me has no more copies of Star Ocean or Mushroom Men. I like their deals, but Micro Center never has enough in stock when these deals happen.

No kidding. What a joke if this is supposed to last a week. I hope they restock. It's a pain to get to the store nearest me.

Anyone know firsthand if "out of stock" is just being conservative like BB's pickup where there are less than 3 in actuality?

[kidu]

Boo, both of the Microcenters in my area are OOS on Mushroom Men. I was going to grab a few and flip em to Gamefly (GF is offering $24.75 in trade-in for it).

[Hibiwa]

Obviously someone thought the same and beat you to it. I just wanted one to play. My Wii collection is wee.

No, their numbers are usually accurate. If you see something you want you need to buy it online immediately for store pickup. Otherwise, you'll be SOL.

[Hibiwa]

Thanks. I shall pray to the gaming gods for a restock before the sale ends.

:pray:

no restock, been zzzz'd out of their system.

[stoned99]

Don't forget to price match at Sears for the extra 10% off.

[Hibiwa]

Crud. That sucks and blows. MicroCenter bites.

[Kapwanil]

Crud. That sucks and blows. MicroCenter bites.

I'd say that too but, at least at my local one, there was a sizable number of each title hours before the store even opened today. At least in my area, almost all of the stock was drained on each title well before 2 PM and it was mostly due to online orders.

Honestly, it's best to order it online and pick up in the future. They usually hold it for a few days (in this case until Sunday, 7 PM) and you don't have to throw elbows to get what you want.

And knowing my Micro Center on Saturdays and Sundays? Good lord, you would think it's Black Friday every weekend. Some of those people can get nuts.

[phreak5k]

Should done the instore pickup earlier, by the time I got there Star Ocean was sold out.

[ITDEFX]

That's crazy that CV wii dropped to 20!

[tubtub]

The Fairfax, VA store is out of Mushroom Men, but has a few Manhunt and WII Castlevanias left.

[donut]

Took the flyer printout to BBuy and they pm'd Mushman at the register without calling (did Not try for the extra 10%)...cashier was very resistant due to the price...store manager came over and snapped just do it! and keyed in the override code...:bouncy:

[botticus]

All of the sale items besides Manhunt 2 were at 3 copies or less at my store. 20 of these when I first looked.

[fwbweux]

This is my first post, so please bear with me.

I have a Microcenter a little more than an hour away from me but I can only make it as far as my local Best Buy and Sears for the next week due to time constraints. I plan to pricematch for Mushroom Men and Castlevania Judgment, but, considering how deep these discounts are, I expect to be given the runaround or simply told that the discount won't be honored, so I've researched the pricematch policies of both stores to "know my rights", so to speak.

There's a line in the Sears policy that says "Photo copies of advertisements or receipts will not be accepted as verification of competitor pricing." I only have access to a copy of the Microcenter ad that I printed in B&W off my computer (yes, printer sucks, can no longer use color cartridges correctly), and because of this they could easily cite the fact that I don't have a "true" copy of the ad as a reason to deny me the discount, even if I have the URL of the ad handy.

Best Buy is less specific regarding the validity of the ad, but they do say "Sometimes a retailer will advertise a very low price for a product but have only limited quantities in stock. If the item is out of stock or the competitor has limited quantities of an item, it is not eligible for price matching." and add "We reserve the right to call the competitor's store to verify the lower price and availability of the item." Considering that it seems that those of you who are lucky enough to be near Microcenters are going and finding most items out of stock, a tightfisted manager would probably get their way if they phoned the nearest Microcenter.

So basically, I'm wondering if there's any way to argue my way out of these caveats if I get resistant employees. Thanks for any advice.

[Sharp Katana]

bah no more mushroom men. Too bad they won't ship. Man Hunt 2 for $2 is awesome though. One of my favorite games on the PSP, might get this for the PS2 since I never finished it.

[emperordahc]

*weeps since there's no microcenters anywhere near him*

In my experience, Best Buy will call the other store to see if it's in stock. If it's not, you are usually out of luck, especially when the game is $40 off their current price. Sears is slightly more flexible, but if the Microcenter is not geographically close and you don't have the ad, I suspect you are going to get shut down there as well. Your best bet to get a match is usually Walmart, but again they have to be close to the Microcenter or they will not consider them a local competitor. It doesn't hurt to try because you never know what kind of reaction you will get. Worst case scenario, they say no.

Sears BM does not carry MMen (online only) not sure about Castlevania, but did not see it in the Sears case last night. and only one BB (out of 10 in my area had MMen instock).

[bummy]

6 manhunts in the store near me left...thinking of getting one just to flip to GS so i can get to the 6 game trade in tier

[fwbweux]

Thanks, guys. I tried at Sears first and they didn't have either in stock (seeing as they don't carry Mushroom Men B&M anyway, I suppose that was only one missed opportunity.) At Best Buy, they did indeed go the route of calling the nearest Microcenter to see if either were in stock. Bad news on both, and after being turned away I was told that even if they had been in stock they wouldn't have honored the discount anyway because, according to them, all the games in the ad were listed as "limited quantities available" and this violated something in their pricematch policy. I might try Wal-Mart later this week.

Oh well--if nothing works, the fact that they both bombed at retail (?) makes them good candidates for a future Amazon DotD, so I'll just have to keep a look out.

[anch]

WTF, I placed an order for Mushroom Men last night, and when I got to the store the clerk said it was sold to a earlier costumer.

[EXStrike]

No Mushroom Men or Star Ocean at the Cambridge, MA store =(

[hpv]

I HATE Microcenter! They always seem to be having good deals and the closest one is two states away!

[zeeb8]

After what happened with people not getting the copies of Guitar Hero World Tour that they had reserved on-line (for that awesome sale MC had), I was hesitant to try it for the Mushroom Men sale.

But it worked for the Chicago location, I picked it up a day after I reserved it. They have this new thing where they will let you know in 18 minutes if you got the order.

I saw it didn't work for someone else at a Microcenter location, but I just thought I would let you know that it did work for me.

[fshaia]

MM is not in stock at any of their stores, according to their website, what did they have 2 copies at each store ? same old BS

[LucerinRed]

GAHHHH, why won't you ship, curse you!

[chakan]

I'd pick up Mushroom Men for that price if there was a Microcenter anywhere near me.
