Was there anything in store that let you know what was on sale?

Just as a Heads up to people that are looking to get Prince of PErsia, ask if your store has the LE version because that will most likely ring up for the same price seeing it was marked the same as the regular a few weeks ago with that $15 off UBI Soft titles a few weeks back and it was $24.99..

This. I have yet to purchase a "new" game at GS.
Only 3 times (less than 30% I am sure) has a new game been gutted when I bought it.
I got to glance over the price drops. Here is what I remember for $20:
spore
prince of Persia
NBA 2k9
MLB 2k9
wheelman
hawx
bionic commando
endwar
valkryie profile: plume (ds)
sorry I could not get a more complete list and hopefully what I listed is correct. I was trying to look at the price drop list over the shoulder of three other people. I will post more if I find out anything else.
Btw, guitar hero band kit is also confirmed at $89.

Wow. Quite a few price drops on games I would like to pick up like Hawx, Mirrors Edge, Star Wars FU, Hulk and a few others.
I'm tempted to run out and buy them all but I still have yet to play any of the $10 games I bought during the Best Buy sale a while back.
If Amazon matched these deals I would probably buy them all.

Mirror's Edge is also $19.99 at Best Buy.

gut or not, bionic commando for 20 new is a steal (haven't played it yet), but you probably won't find that anywhere else, not even used for that price.

Store I called said the MGS4:LE was $59.99 and the Endwar Bundle was still $89.99 and he looked them up in the computer so thats that.... dont really know if anything would be different if scanned but this guy that checked is legit enough to not pull the its $59.99 on the sticker blah blah stuff..

07-08-2009, 12:21 PM
Is there list of the sale?
The MLB is the 2k sports title. Sorry if I was not more clear. One of the big disadvantages of trying to type long messages from the iPhone :).
Wheelman is okay. I picked it up for $9.98 at target and while I have enjoyed it in small doses I still do not know if I could recommend it.
The endwar bundle was not on sale on my GS. Only the stand alone game was $20. Some best buys still have the endwar bundle for both systems priced at $40 or less.

Grabbed the last BC for 360 from Doc Stone Commons; was gutted but I already accepted a trade on Goozex for 1000 points. Have 3 days to beat it.
Only games I can remember from the list that I haven't seen mentioned are Sonic Unleashed (360/PS3) for 19.99 and Madden 09 Collector's Edition for 29.99. Rumors of 200 price drops were grossly exaggerated. It was slightly over a page long.
nasum
07-08-2009, 12:27 PM
I was able to talk a BB manager into giving me the 360 Endwar bundle for $30 a few weeks ago (Minnetonka, MN store), worth a shot, especially if you're purchasing a few other items as well.
packratshow
07-08-2009, 12:27 PM
Picked up Wheelman(gutted, but a pristine case), Bionic Commando, and Prince of Persia, all 360. Didn't see anything on the list they had that has not been mentioned, but didn't look at anything besides 360.
The clerk said that if a store has the POP LE in stock it should be the same price as they both have the same SKU or UPC.
Oh how I love The CAG!

I dont really have a problem with gutted copies but I can see why. Its a bit obsurd when you think about how its done. I bought gutted copies at the last sale and didn't think twice. As long as it works, I'm fine.
Although I did have a problem when i picked up my preorder of MLB09:the show. I was givena gutted copy and told him i wanted another one, no problem and gave me a sealed one.
hollowfreak
07-08-2009, 12:29 PM

They open them, they put NEW stickers on the case and directly on the insert in the case, which are a bitch to remove and look like ass if you don't. Sometimes the discs don't even look new, they're scratched and they slip them into sleeves just like the used games. I swear they take returned copies and resell them as new.

The employees are allowed to borrow games as part of their benefits. Sometimes they'll take the gutted games if there aren't any used copies of a game in yet. They aren't supposed to, but it happens a lot.

07-08-2009, 12:51 PM
I know its a hot topic and I hope this doesn't open the thread into a trash session, but the practice of employees opening a game and testing it has been a LOOOONG tradition that goes back even to when I worked in a Babbages back in 1994.
Cars you buy have been test driven, clothes you have bought have been tried on in the store, it's been happening all over sales groups everywhere and I guarantee it won't permanently stop there if at all. I can't stress enough that if you get one that looks like it has been opened DON'T BUY IT.
Typically the companies don't mind it because it allows an employee (which is really a salesman/woman) to try the game and talk to it easier. I for one trust hands on over a website's bought reviews.
Anyway..... I'm off to go pick up a Bionic Commando. I think $20 is a decent price for it. I'm surprised I'm buying it at $20 before Target has it on clearance.

Yes, it is absolutely worth it.
I think longer sessions are better, but I suppose you could play a little here and there. You can save just about anywhere, although most quests will take a couple hours.

Just got back from one of my local stores (12:00 est).
None of the games where set aside or even marked down
but they all scanned at $20 in the system
Just the manager was on this morn and hadn't had time to apply any of the morning updates.
So if you go in or call and get discouraged, don't, just bring them up to the register.
BC
TC Hawk
SW Force Unleashed
all for about $62

I guess it's all on your style of play, do you like a more futuristic shooter type that is more focused on the major storyline, and a little less on the side missions, or do you like an old style RPG with swords/bow and arrows that is more focused on free roaming then the major storyline.

Yup, worked on BC for the 360 this morning in Chicago. The cashier wasn't aware of the drop, but the register rung up the right price, nonetheless. Oh, and it was nice to lock in the Amazon trade-in value, too (currently at $18.00 for the 360; $14 for PS3). Time to swing around some...

I might think about picking up SW:STFU too
Star Wars Shut The Fuck Up is well worth the $20.

Looks like (from the website) that SMT: Persona 3 FES dropped to $15 new which is a steal if you don't have it already. I got it from Amazon just the other week for $20 which I thought was a great deal.

Just got back from one of my local stores (12:00 est).
None of the games where set aside or even marked down
but they all scanned at $20 in the system
Thank you OP!

I went up there at 10 this morning and picked up Bionic Commando, Prince of Persia: LE, Mirror's Edge (used), Henry Hatsworth (shelf copy already open), Broken Sword (shelf copy also). Thank you original poster. Bionic commando and Prince of persia were not already gutted, so I hope everyone else has the same luck.
Was Harry Hatsworth on sale?

GS in Rockefeller PLaza has Bionic Commando and Hawx in stock but only Hawx is gutted. I am going to stop by during lunch and pick at least 2 BC up and one Wheelman PS3 since my girl is bugging me to get it for her.
Thoughts on Wheelman? Is it worth $20?
Very much so. More fun than GTA4 IMO.

anyone know of any big difference between Bionic commando on ps3 and 360?
I found a post over at http://www.bioniccommando.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1474
"So I first got the xbox 360 version and everything is fine except for . . .
1. Bad video sync issues . . . too much video tearing and threading during game play and cutscenes.
2. Frame rate is a little slow compared to PS3.
3. Anti aliasing is bad (most console games do this well for better lines)
The ps3 version has no video tearing what so ever . . . frame rate is smooth and even goes over 60fps no audio compression.
I rented the ps3 version and now i'm waiting to get the pc version because the nvidia/alienware/physx logos all over the first level seem to suggest better . . . so i have one question for the admins . . . why does the xbox version have video tearing in the game?"

and
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360-vs-ps3-face-off-round-20?page=2
They say minus the required install with v-sync the ps3 version graphically is their choice. Also if you have Rearmed I believe on both consoles you can unlock the "classic" character look rather then the silly beefcake they have in there now.
After work I'm going to check GS and try to pick up the ps3 version of BC. After the reviews and how utterly different this is from the original I couldn't pay $60 for it $20 is the sweet spot great deal hopefully this deal is going on at my GS thanks for the heads up CAG

Grabbed the following at the Temple Terrace Gamestop in Tampa (next to USF)
HAWX 360 - $19.99
Wheelman 360 - $19.99
Harry Hatsworth - $19.99
And the employee refunded the $40 in credit from when we got Bionic Commando for $60 three days ago, which was very awesome.. they also had some BC's in stock.
All the games we got were new and sealed, no gutted copies here.
On a side note, also found a used copy of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for 360 for $49.99 used, $44.99 after EDGE... not a bad savings on a new game. That, and a copy of Disgaea 3 used, and our credit is completely gone.
Thanks for the heads up OP!

On a side note, damn you CAG. I told myself I would be good and cut back on the purchases for a while since the wife and I just got back from vacation last week. So far I have spent $80 this week on BC, Hawx, Riddick, and Tales of Vesperia.

BS was sold out at Remsey, NJ (interchange shopping center) but I grabbed a copy (last copy) from the GameStop on Franklin trnpk in Mahwah.
It was a gutted copy, which for $20 I was fine with but here's the kicker - they put a price sticker DIRECTLY on the insert card (on the spine). I tried to peel it off and just made a mess of things. Anyone know how to get those off?
Once again I am reminded why I seldom shop at Gamestop

If they're going to do this as a temporary price drop, then it's assumed they're going to thin out inventory, not get rid of all of them. If it was a permanent price drop, then it would be a dead deal when all the copies are gone. Plus, if they were doing a real price drop, then the used prices would drop as well.

Got the last copy of Bionic Commando (360) and HAWX (PS3) at one Gamestop, so both were gutted, but I don't mind cause I'm playing them for a week and trading them in. Also got a new copy of Wheelman (360) to keep for myself. Guy at Gamestop told me that they're doing more price drops throughout the month, not sure if those are already in the list or not.

07-08-2009, 03:01 PM
15.99? Please explain.If after you make a purchase you find a local competitor with a lower price, Best Buy will refund you 110% of the difference. So that means they match the $20 price plus 1/10 of the $40 difference, which is an additional $4 savings, thus net $16.
Important to note that this policy only applies if you come back after making your purchase. If you attempt to pricematch when first buying the item, they'll only *match* the price and not *beat* it w/ the additional 10% of the difference.

I think Best Buy matches it and then takes 20% off the matched price?10% off the difference. See below.
If after you make a purchase you find a local competitor with a lower price, Best Buy will refund you 110% of the difference. So that means they match the $20 price plus 1/10 of the $40 difference, which is an additional $4 savings, thus net $16.
Important to note that this policy only applies if you come back after making your purchase. If you attempt to pricematch when first buying the item, they'll only *match* the price and not *beat* it w/ the additional 10% of the difference.Good point to remind people of.
Also, unless there's a print ad showing the items on-sale, then it's a bit YMMV on getting the PM to happen. Some BB's won't call to check on pricing unless there's a print ad, other ones will call to check, yet more won't care and just do the PM on the spot.
They may raise an eyebrow and think this would be for used copies, and the GS website isn't clear about those copies being used or new. Clicking on the item would show that they're new, of course.

Is Sonic Unleashed worth it for 20?
From what I understand:
The 2.5D "Daytime" running levels are some of the best to come out of a Sonic game since the Dreamcast era.
The "Nighttime" Sonic-turns-Kratos levels are absolute suck.
The games split pretty evenly between the two.....I'll wait for 15 or 10 before I bite though. I bought the first next-gen Sonic for $5 at a Walmart clearance and I have never disposed of a game so quickly in my life.
But the demo for Sonic Unleashed was amazing. It not only looked good but it played surprisingly well. if that damn Werehog didn't exist the game would be great (but then probably wouldn't be $20)

Why does it list BC for the PS3 at $50 on the deals page but it's $19.99 for 360 on the same page.
EDIT: AH I see they are listing the used price. Good ol' smart Gamestop.com

More people are catching on to the "sale". I picked up the last copy of Bionic Commando (360) in Madison, WI during lunch. Didn't expect them to be OOS so fast.

Well, I'm glad I returned HAWX back to Amazon when they had that sale recently. But I ultimately returned it because I have Ace Combat games to replay and enjoy instead.
Wheelman was a fairly fun demo to play, but is it worth it for $20? Might have to bite on Deadly Creatures as well...

I bit on BC (PS3), Oblivion; GOTY (PS3), and Deadly Creatures (Wii) from the website a bit earlier thsi morning. I'm hoping Shrike's good advice holds true and I get factory-sealed copies. I'm not a huge fan of GS/EB, but having this deal go smoothly would go a long way in bettering my opinion.

I'm not a huge fan of GS/EB, but having this deal go smoothly would go a long way in bettering my opinion.Those two copies that weren't new were out of dozens of orders I placed with EB/GS for new and sealed titles. The first one, an Xbox game back in 2003, they had me send back the old one once the new one showed up. The other one, a PS3 game from 2007, they sent me a new one overnight and didn't ask me to send back the used/open copy. That one was traded into GS for credit.
I wouldn't worry about expecting unsealed/used copies, though it's happened to me twice in a number of years. And I just ordered HAWX and BC, so I'm in the same boat as everyone.

Traded in a couple of games for $7.20 worth of credit & got a SEALED copy of HAWX for $13.xx. Used the credit on my Edge card to pay for the balance. Now I do not have to wait the few weeks & spend "real" money at Target. ;)
FYI, was not too thrilled with the Demo for HAWX, but at $20.00 & the fact that a bunch of my friends have been playing it, could not refuse the deal.

For those on the fence on BC. Get it, its definitely worth $20. Despite the lousy checkpoints and radiation in the game, its quite good. I asked my local GS to hold the last sealed copy for me :)

I just bought a second copy of B.C., I would have liked the PS3 version, but they were sold-out online; so I just ordered the 360 version for the second time. I'd highly advice picking up B.C. for this price, it's not only well-worth $20, it's also well worth full-price. It has a few issues, but it's still an amazing game.. just one no one gave a chance (I'm giving my other copy to my brother, since he's borrowing it now anyway).

From what I've played Bionic Commando is well worth $20 and the online seems pretty neat too. I don't know what you're talking about all bad reviews the game has a 70 on metacritic. IGN also has a good video review on it which was my deciding factor.

Went to my local Gamestop to pick up de Blob, Deadly Creatures, and Line Rider 2. I forgot why I hadn't been to Gamestop in a while...
... and then I remembered. All three were gutted copies with damaged cases covered in like 50 price stickers (but it's still NEW in the eyes of Gamestop). I've got like the worst luck in the world when it comes to gutted copies.
I took it as a sign that I probably shouldn't spend any more money this month and left.

The LE comes with a bonus CD that has a soundtrack, art gallery, making of, and a snippet of a strategy guide. Also comes with a code for an unlockable skin.

Spore seems like a decent deal at $20. Haven't seen it at that price since the Amazon deal late last year. I guess it's a mixed bag, but seems like something one should experience if interested in game design.

It's their currency. It's an AMAZING game trading site. I already traded my BC I bought earlier today for 1000 pts ($50) but don't have to ship it for three days so I will be able to beat it.
I've gotten older, somewhat rare games like Symphony of the Night and Star Ocean: Second Story from flipping games like this to get the points. You can definitely come out on top if you play your chips right.
Bottom link in my sig will take you there (big green one).
