It is not a clearance price. Its a price drop in store, they are getting rid of reg. version before Greatest Hits versions come in.
Do a search in a close by store.
THIS IS IN STORE DEAL ONLY.
RUMOR - MOTORSTORM PACIFIC RIFT FOR $14.99

You rule if this is true. Any chance there are drops on the other future GH titles?

Yeah, I just called a local store and confirmed the price on GT5 Prologue, though oddly he told me the price was 9.98 The store I called was OOS even though the website said they had it, so beware of that.

Going to check out a Target down the street at lunch. I'll let y'all know my results. Thanks for the tip, Op.
EDIT: Confirmed in Albuquerque, NM. I picked up GT:5 Prologue for $9.98, and I saw R&C for $14.98 (I already own a copy). Both had "Greatest Hits" stickers on the outside of the packaging, both were in the normal non-GH cases. Also, as many have said, they were behind the glass case and had actual shelf price stickers listing $9.98 and $14.98, respectively.

Just got both at Hamburg, Lexington, KY location. 9.98 and 14.98 respectively. Interesting... These have a red "Greatest Hits" sticker on the outside of the plastic wrap. I thought that was pretty cool. That means no nasty red case.

These 2 games are part of the new PS3 Greatest Hits titles which officialy launched yesterday. Target has been getting in new copies because of this, but haven't updated the DPCI #s for these.
It happens quite often with the inventory system Target uses.

It should be 0.00 in the system since it's old clearance. Kind of weird they reactivated it specifically for the new Greatest Hits copies and keep the old price.

Expect the prices to be raised sooner rather than later. This is not a case where Target wants to get rid of the regular version before the GH version comes out. As someone already mentioned, they simply reactivated the products at their last known prices and will probably fix that soon.
It happened with Far Cry 2 (360) last week. It was being sold for a while at $9.98 before stores corrected it to $29.99.

If it says out of stock then they are out. If it say in stock they have multiple copies. If it says limited availability then they have 1 or 2 left.
Just adding another confirmation for those who are on the fence. Both games were restocked at the old clearance prices of $9.98 and $14.98. Red stickers indicating they are Greatest hits (no red cases) and both in the glass case.
Sure beats having to wait 3 months for the clearance price to hit 75% off.

Website shows GT5 at $39.99. If the deal is good, it would be in-store only now.

I missed the bottom price on R&C and never even saw GT5 on clearance so I got one of each. I had to do a bit of driving as my closest Target had none even though it said in stock on the website. Do the UPCs change on Greatest Hits versions? I checked the codes and these are the same as the original versions on the web. Just curious, since it seems they just slapped a sticker on the original version.

I'll be right behind you Shrike. Hopefully none of the RagTag's want anything, all I want is GT5 Prologue. Only about 4 or 5 RagTag's (myself included) even have PS3's so there shouldn't be a repeat of the Afro Samurai debacle. :)

Just got back from mine here in Columbus, Ohio. Both games fully stocked and yes priced at 9.98 and 14.98 respectively.
Interesting was that they were the only games listed without a price tag. I asked the sales clerk if I could get a price check and he scanned them and looked confused. I said, "I'll take both" and he said, "I think I will too" haha

Think this'll still be active around 5-6 EST?
I won't be near a target til then, unless theres reason to believe it'll be fixed before then.
I'm not missing out on 2 great games for 25 bucks total >.>.
And how accurate is their inventory system online? It shows theres no GT5 Prologues at my local store :/.
I got GT5 at my Target last night. They actually had a shelf tag in the case that said $9.98. The OP isn't quite right. It is in fact a clearance price, but more of a glitch since it is the last clearance price in the system that was reactivated when these were restocked for the upcoming Greatest Hits release. I would expect both of these to jump to $29.99 at any moment so get them while you can. Also, I'll edit the title to reflect the actual $9.98/$14.98 prices.
plutoknight - I found the inventory system to be very accurate and updated pretty quickly too.

Huge thanks OP! Buena Park store on Orangethorpe has 1 copy of GT5P and 2 copies of Ratchet left. I got one of each. Prices clearly marked.
Scanned Buzz and MGS4, both rang up normal price, in case anyone was wondering.
Just came back from my target in NJ there were about 4 GT5's left and about 5 R&C. I picked up one GT5 but left R&C. Damn now that i think about it i never played R&C but i should have picked up tools of destruction. I think i may go back.

I work on the team that resets the inventory, and pricing labels at my local Target. This is 100% legit, picked up GT5: Prologue for the mentioned $9.98. These are the only titles that have wrong/discounted pricing, though I did notice that MGS4 was still $39.99 and not reduced to $29.99 on this same set.

That may have just been her guess. These were clearly restocked as my store never even had them during the original clearance. The GT5 I got last night had the GH sticker on it - I'd see no reason for them to clear those out before getting "real" GH versions. I still think these are likely to jump to $29.99 at any moment.

Rushed after reading this and picked up GT5 Prologue. They have 2 left and 4 of R&C at the Target on S. Main (Houston, TX), as of 12:30.
edit: The games did have the GH sticker but are in regular package ALSO they both have signs (aka white stickers on the shelf) stating the prices....so if someone looks they will know the price.

I completely agree with you io. That was just the manager's guess it what was going on. Believe me, the prices will be corrected very soon.

Thank you T(opic) C(reator). I have to say, I was in for a penny, in for a pound -- times two! Got two copies of each and there were still more copies at the Gaithersburg, MD Target (at the Rio Washington Center).
BTW, all the copies they had for sale, as well as the copies I have, are all GH versions -- Weird. Normally I don't like to have the red bar (call it my OCD) on the box, but for these prices, I can live.

I went at lunch, couldn't risk missing this, since my friend has been wanting R&C (I had made him return the $40 used copy he bought during GS last B2G1, because I knew about the price drop). I was surprised to find both behind the glass with shelf tags marked $9.98 and $14.98. Mt. Juliet, TN still has at least 2 of each, or at least did when I left. R&C rings up as "NCF PS3", and GT5 Prologue rings up as just "PS3".
Thanks OP.

and dont say credit card cause my card took a hell of a beating last week at TRU with the buy 1 get 1 50% off deal and the gift cards : )
I might check after work, though I'm not hopeful. I never grabbed GT5P but I just beat and sent out my copy of R&C on goozex before the value drops between the GH and sequel coming out soon.. I might actually do challenge mode someday.
Wait.. Target's in-store locator works now? That made my day if I don't get the games.

Its worth it just to watch the CPU race if you have a HDTV
GT5 is the best looking game on the PS3 out there now. They might as well just show running footage of cars racing.
Not to mention the online and updates (free!) plus the TV stuff if you are a car enthusiast are neat.

I didn't even see this topic as I went to my local Target right now and freaked out when I saw both the games so cheap! Anyway I manage to just pick up Ratchet since now that it's a GH I wanted to get my hands on it.
I might go and get GT5 later if we can get a CAG night going for it.
Is this just a one- day deal or is it just until the store runs out of stock? ;o
As I already stated a few times this price will end at any moment and the Greatest Hits pricing of $29.99 will kick in. The reason nearly every store has these now even though both were clearanced long ago is because they were restocked for the Greatest Hits "launch" for these titles. It is simply a glitch that they are using the last clearance pricing (75% off the original MSRP in both cases) as of now. Get 'em while you can!
SScorpio
06-17-2009, 07:09 PM
I was able to get GT5. They didn't have any out but I asked the person working at the counter to check their stock and he was able to get me one out of the back room.
So if you don't see them out on the shelves, just ask as they might have not been put out yet.

But then, a miracle happened.. they were stocked in the lower corner of the case, bottom row, far left, in a corner that's mostly hidden behind their PS3 interactive, and both were still there. Hallelujah! Thanks OP!

I already posted that I grabbed both earlier today, but the amusing thing is I don't think I have ever left to do something so quickly in my life. I read the thread, did the target store locator (the one 5 minutes from my house had them) online, and immediately left and bought them. I told a friend of mine about it and everywhere around here is sold out now. Glad I got things moving so quickly earlier!

Just hit the Countryside, IL store. They had both with the price tags on the shelf marked at $10 and $15.
However, when GT was scanned it came up $30. I wasn't prepared to make a stink and told the girl not to sweat it. Fortunately, I ended up getting it for $10, but they turned the tags around. Talk about fantastic timing.
I would imagine this deal will be gone soon. So hurry.

Picked up GT5 in Hillard OH Target on Rome Hilliard Road around 8 PM tonight. Had a few of those left and a few R+C at 14.98. The price labels on the shelf reflected the discounted price and it did not say "on sale" or "special" so it looks like the pricing is at least in this store fixed until they sell out or end the deal.

Went to 4 Targets to find them. Luckily they're all relatively close by. Yeah, the online thing wasn't very accurate. They were all "Available", but the first two I went to were sold out (even in the backroom). 3rd one had 3 GT5 on shelf with no price tag, but didn't have R&C on the shelf and couldn't find it in the backroom. Last one ahd 3-4 copies of each, to bad I didn't start there, lol.

Yea, It may not last through tomorrow morning, but I work at Target in Electronics, the signs may not have been changed (knowing how slow the Electronic Specialist and pricing team is). If they haven't changed the sign, they'll honor it. I'll just tell those what number they are in line, and if i can, pick them all up.

While i was there, picked up the Left 4 dead GOTY edition for the 37buck price, not to bad of a price. ..... they did have the regular edition on clearance for 34.95 price, but eh whats 2-3bucks, rather get the extras on the disc anyways, then downloading it.

Third one finally said he looked it up, and all he had was the PSP version) I decided to go all the way across town to the North East Target in Tallahassee. They had both games at the 9/14 prices. Snagged both games in hopes of getting my wife to try RC.

So your Target was one of the lucky few that actually lowered R&C to 85% off ($7.48) back when they went on clearance originally? Nice.
$7.48 is not 85% off of $59.99. My theory is that they somehow applied a 50% discount to an already 75% off price. Someone on SD found it for $3.74, which would be 75% off of the 75% off price.

I price checked Metal Gear Solid 4 last night and it was still $49.99. I did not expect that it was "mispriced" like these two, but shouldn't it be $29.99? They had the Greatest Hits sticker on them.

These are clearance prices, they havent updated the new skus from the old non-gh batches. If a Target price ends in 8 (aka 14.98, 9.98, etc) it is a clearance price. Best to pick this up quickly before they change it in the system to 29.99.

Woah! Thanks for the post, OP!
Anyone in the Austin, TX area go to any stores to check for availability yet? If not, I will post back later today.

You got them this morning? So the prices are still active? That's pretty surprising.

I just picked up GT5 and R&C for the prices listed in the OP at my target in Nashua, NH. Both copies have a Greatest Hits sticker on top of the clear wrap on the package, but the case itself is the original one.

The weird thing is that these aren't just ringing up at those prices, they're in the games case with a printed price display below the games and that price clearly visable. I guess they could change the prices, but this is clearly not a computer glitch; it seems intentional.

This happens all the time. Perhaps it is simply hourly employees who regularly do price changes based on what the computer tells them. They simply go through the motions. When the computer is updated, they will change the prices. This would explain why Best Buy employees actually print .01 labels and price the strategy guides for sale. We all know they are supposed to pull them, but they simply do what they always do.
Stopped at the Parma, OH Target after work yesterday and didn't see either (was in too much of a rush to stop and ask). They actually didn't have much in the way of any clearance games either.. but that's the norm around here.

Not a chance. Target's last price in the computer system was $9.98 for clearance of GT5P. When they decided to restock the GH version, they brought the SKU back from the dead. When they did, nobody noticed it was at an old clearance price, and not the GH price. Somebody in accounting or marketing will eventually pickup on this price and correct it in the POS system. this deal is likely to last a day to two. they did the same exact thing with Far Cry 2. It clearance and they went GH, they didn't update the price to reflect the GH price.

Good call OP. I picked each of these up after work yesterday. I got the last GT5 and there were still 2 more R&C after. 2 PS3 games for $27? Good deal!

There were no more copies of R&C at the Union, NJ Target last night. I may try and hit up another at lunch today but I'm not hopeful. They did have at least 5 copies of GT5 but I didn't want that one...

I just picked up a copy of each at the store in Wilmington, DE on Concord Pike. They had two more copies of GT and three of R&C. They had red Greatest Hits stickers across the top of the cases but aren't actually the greatest hits versions.

Final Fantasy Tactics for PSP for $3.48
Devil May Cry 4 for 360 for $14.98
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PS3 $9.98
Ratchet and Clank for PS3 $14.98
I have an extra GT5 and Ratchet if anyone was interested in trading. Send me a PM!

Amazon lowered the TIV last night. Went form $13 to $9, so it's really only a good flip if you locked in the prices before.
Edit: Sorry, thought this was for the Amazon deal xD

Haha, I went to the Target in East Hanover, Vauxhall, Union, and Watchung. Watchung had both GT5 and R&C last night. Though only 3 copies of each (I picked up 1 copy of R&C, so 2 left) and then got GT5 from Union. Good thing they're all relatively close.

Oh I know.. I didn't see it in either. I just mentioned the clearance section (which is usually on an endcap 5 aisle from the VG anyway) for the sake of griping about never having any deals at all, on top of them not having this. ;)

Gamestop is only giving 8 bucks for GT5P, so that isn't worth your while if you are trying to profit.

For some reason, I never think of rainchecks - I didn't think of it for the BB EA Sims Card deal, and I didn't think of it for this one (although they might have been considered "Clearance" items, since it is clearance pricing). I managed to get them, so I don't need a raincheck, though. Out of curiosity, what is the percentage off listed on the raincheck, is it 75%, or does it acknowledge the new MSRP (I highly doubt it does)? Didn't Target reinstitute their raincheck substitution policy in select markets?

Sent my old man for both games. He had them scanned (but not rung up) and they came up at $39.99 and $59.99. He told the employee to ring them up for him anyway and he replied it would be the same price. Do they ring up at the $9.xx and $14.xx prices or is there a reason why this Target would have them at the higher prices?
