MGS Twin Snakes $17.99 @ Target

[bhfgamer]

Could be YMMV but I saw a temporary price drop sign on it. Sorry if this has already been posted.

[RedvsBlue]

Wow great deal, I'd be all over this if I hadn't already picked it up for more than that. Its probably for all the targets, usually all their temporary price drops are nationwide even if it takes a few days for all of them to get it (the La Pucelle Tactics deal comes to mind).

That's it, though, I'm never buying a game for above $30 anymore. First Zelda WW and now MGS TT, I bought em both at $35 and they dropped below $20 before I even had a chance to play them.

[mtxbass1]

What region of the US was this target located OP?

[dcfox]

I was at Target this weekend and it was regular price for me. I've been waiting for this to drop in price so maybe I'll check again.

[hiccupleftovers]

I was there a couple of days ago and it was still normal price for me as well. Was it supposed to have a drop in price this month anywhere else?

[The Mana Knight]

Great deal. Hopefully I see it, because I want it badly.

[Chacrana]

That is a really good deal. That's the price that I got it for a few months back for a new copy on Ebay (I got lucky.) Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's an interesting adaption of MGS, but to be honest, I still kinda prefer my PC version of MGS Integral because of the VR missions and some other stuff.

[vrs1650]

If you played and still own the original, is this worth picking up.

[Trakan]

I was at Target today, also saw it for the price the OP stated. I live in WI.

[cruzincontrol]

I will have to check my target...

[Alien Spider]

Awesome deal. I picked it up when it was first released using store credit. I think it was worth $40, so it's definitely worth $18.

[Dustin Echoes]

Even if you played the original, I still say its worth picking up. The redone action scenes are really awesome. I was impressed, looked movie-like.

[silliemutafuka]

Alrighty, thanks alot for the heads up!

[Dok Diamond]

Im not a big stealth fan but i might try squeezing this one in.

[hiccupleftovers]

Im not a big stealth fan but i might try squeezing this one in.

I really wasn't much of one either until I played the first one on the PS1.

[msdmoney]

Hopefully this is a sign of a price drop, would be great to pick this up in the B2G1 TRU deal.

[coolz481]

Great deal! I picked my copy up at EB a couple of weeks ago for $25 and it was well worth it. I hadn't played MGS since '98, so a lot of the game (particularly the last 1/3) felt brand-new. Definitely better than Sons of Liberty.

[sleepydumbdude]

It was about that price at my target too in evansville IN. I ended up getting SIms Bust'n out instead though.

[hohndog]

We've all gone thru that, lol. I bought DOA Beach Volleyball for full price when it launched. There it sits on my game shelf still in plastic, unopened. Someday I'll get to it. I wait for all games to drop below $20, either new or mint used. One exception for me however would be some roleplaying games. The limited editions and those I feel will be a limited print. Other than that, they can all wait. I have soooo many games to play now, its not even funny. I'm feel like a video game 'junkie' at times, lol. I will scoop up on Twin Snakes tomorrow after work. Thanks for the post bhfgamer! :)

[Parathod]

I think i'm going to miss out on this one because i'm working over time all this week. Hopefully it'll be $20 at the B2G1 sale.

[bhfgamer]

I found this deal @ Target, Macedonia OH

[paz9x]

I went by target on my lunch to try and get a raincheck and saw this, I came back to work to post but you guys are way ahead of me.

got mine in san bernardino, ca.

they also had two rows of paper mario 2 out for sale.

[Vampire Hunter D]

I was there a couple of days ago too and did not notice it.

[redgopher]

Shit. Picked it up during the (one of many) 20% off VG sales at Fred Meyer (total of $23.99) Ah well, it was worth it. Just finished it about 30 minutes ago (just over 11 hour play time). Absolutely fucking awesome. Time to get cracking on that MGS2:Substance on Xbox... (or maybe the two Splinter Cells... hmmm)

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

[Zenithian Legend]

Hmm... one more reason to go to Target tomorrow

[Rubberlegs]

Great deal. I picked up a copy last week at my local Blockbuster for $13. The same day I also got Onimusha 3 for $15. Both in mint conditon. I have yet to play either yet though. :( Time is turning into my biggest enemy.

[Jaxcomet]

I think a lot of Target stores put random games on sale according to their inventory. My local store offen has great deals on games that aren't included in the sale ad.....

[Admiral Ackbar]

I went to the Target in Wilmingon, DE. Thirty.

[1SwtDeception]

I will check the Targets in MN today.. if the deal is in WI it could be in MN too ... hopefully.

[spookyhurst]

I checked at the Target in Surprise, Arizona today. Still regular price :( .

[el bobo]

Thanks, you just found my brothers Christmas gift!

[chow_ac]

I went to Target after reading this post. Marked 29.99 on shelf, rang up as 17.99. I am a happy MGS camper. THANKS!

[PS2gamerGCN]

Saw it today for $17.99 in Illinois. I've been wanting this game too well before the release of it but I never got around to buying it.

[jaso]

Question to those who say it's still 29.99 at their Targets... are you basing that on the sticker price or what it's ringing up?

I went to a Target in Wichita today and the sign still said 29.99, but I was there for the 17.99 deal so I asked them to scan and price check. he looked at me like I was a jackass just trying to make him work harder, and even pointed to the sticker price, but I insisted he scan it. It rang up at 17.99 and I snagged one.

So, it may just be that the effective price hasn't been posted in your stores.

By the way, thanks for posting this deal. I was looking for a deal on this game hardcore last week and the best I found was the 19.99 outpost.com deal + shipping. This was much better, and a great addition to my library. It's one of the greatest stories ever told in a video game.

[bhfgamer]

At the Target I went to, the display clearly marked the price.... but Its a brand new Target so everyting is marked

[s0undwav3]

Yep this deal works in Northern VA as well. But the Target I went to does not have any indication of the price reduction, and it's still in the glass case, so I doubt anyone will be making this game out of stock at that one (which had about 15)

[spookyhurst]

The price tag at mine said $29.99. I have to go back tomorrow to return a dog bed I bought, so I'll have them scan it and see what happens.

[pimp tyranny]

cool

[Abbadon74]

Hey, s0undwav3, what Northern Virginia Target did you hit? I live in the Sterling/Leesburg area. I'd appreciate a heads-up.

Thanks,

-B

[rhetoric]

Just picked this up for $17.99 at the Miami Target in Kendall. There is one copy left. Thanks for the great find.

[darkwingduck13]

Wonder if I can get a raincheck on this...any word on what the percentage is on the price drop?

[Vtdgnca]

Classic Metal, New Gear! :D

[thorbahn3]

Thanks. I just picked up a copy at Target. They carded me because it was M. Did anybody else get carded?

[dutch72]

I also picked up a copy..thanks for the deal

[kdunn77]

Thanks. I just picked up a copy at Target. They carded me because it was M. Did anybody else get carded?

I got carded too. 1st time ever (for games anyway) and I'm almost 30 :twisted:

[Duo_Maxwell]

My Target was out and damn their policy of no rainchecks on the temp pricecuts...

[dsullo]

carded? what do you mean?

[Duo_Maxwell]

carded? what do you mean?

Asking to see ID because you have to be of age to buy an M-rated game.

[Ikohn4ever]

Picked it up for 12.43 with a raincheck for harvest moon. Casheer didnt want to give it to me and I told her call the manager, well I got it. Booyah

[mtxbass1]

They asked my DOB when I bought the game from my local target. No big deal. I got it for $17.99. Thanks OP!

[guessed]

At my Target it had a "Temporary Price Drop" sign in front of it. Mission accomplished, thanks OP.

[989boi]

how long does these "temporary price drop" last in target?

[x_fiddle]

Damnit I was just at target and should have had them scan the game.

[Trakan]

Wonder if I can get a raincheck on this...any word on what the percentage is on the price drop?

It's a temporary price drop, so no rainchecks.

[shrike4242]

My Target of choice in St. Louis had it at this price.

[spidey]

Price was advertised but OOS @ Queens Place Target.

[rebthor]

Price was advertised but OOS @ Queens Place Target.
Sorry, I picked up the last one last night. The price drop was marked as good until 10/18 at this Target, but YMMV with other places.

BTW, if you were at this Target last night around 6:30PM and are on the boards, LMK, as it is always good to meet a fellow CAGer.

PS Spidey, you may want to check the Target off of the Belt on Community Drive. I bet that they still have some, altough since I changed jobs, I haven't been there as much.

[spidey]

Beaten to the punch. :D

I passed by Target this morning actually. I'll go on the 18th again to see if they restock.

[PrivatePixel]

Picked it up during lunch today. The Target I went to didn't have a 'Temporary Price Drop' tag next to any of the Gamecube titles, but did for all of the other platforms. Even though the $29.99 tab was hanging on the shelf, it rang up as $17.99 when I asked the CSR to scan the UPC code. I also noticed a $19.99 tab behind the $29.99 one, so it's possible that MGS:TTS could see another price drop shortly. Wasn't carded either, but then again, I picked up my copy near campus. :)

[JasonTerminator]

So it does ring up as $17.99 without the "Temporary Price Drop" tag on it?

I don't want to go to my Terget and be disappointed, now.

[shrike4242]

It's not raincheckable, since it's not listed in the in-store ad flier.

[alongx]

Fuckin' A, I think I need in on this.

[basketkase543]

I'm VERY tempted to get this game. I loved the original and it would be great to replay it with better graphics.

[strebor]

Picked up a copy this evening in Los Angeles county. It had a temporary price drop tag next to it, and they had several copies left. Thanks for the tip, I was looking for this game anyway.

[dnt_h8me2]

Gotta love those 'Temporary Price-Cuts' Target has.
I remember Breakdown coming down to $20. I went ahead and picked it up b/c that was around the time that everywhere else had it for 50 still.
Now Breakdown is 10 new at CC.

[1SwtDeception]

For the Target temporary pricing isn't it just a week? But anyways I picked up my copy (also the last copy too ^_^) and so glad I got it. I wasn't carded which is interesting seeing I could pass for being 12 -_-.

[tyecko]

My friend who works at target said when he looked for me at his store and scanned it it was still 30 bucks.

[JasonTerminator]

Mine didn't have the Temporary Price Tag on it, but it still rang up $17.99

Awesome deal. I'd been wanting to get this for less than $20 for a while now.

[Pylis]

I might have to give it a shot, but thus far my luck with these things has been nil.

[ReggAe]

I just ask price check (tag 29.99) then rang up 17.99!! so i picked up today~ 2 hour ago.

[fraeone]

Oh crap I didn't see this until now. Is this going to be at Target on Sunday? Or is that the day they typically recycle these unadvertised temp. price drops?

Thanks

[ReggAe]

Maybe.. today finished this deal.. cuz target sale start last sunday~this saturday.. just check tomorrow good luck~!!

[Trakan]

Maybe.. today finished this deal.. cuz target sale start last sunday~this saturday.. just check tomorrow good luck~!!

It's a temporary price cut, not a sale. Could last a week, could last until they run out of copies.

[989boi]

I got mine on saturday. It was still priced at $39.99 but I had it scanned. It rang up $17.99 but the total was $19.52.

[jshorr]

Got the last copy at $17.99 yesterday at the Kingston, NY location. Was not actually carded but was asked my birthday to enter into the computer.

[damack]

I picked this up yesterday in Syracuse, NY for $17.99. Excellent deal!

[aphasias]

picked one up yesterday in santa rosa, ca.
thanks for the heads up!

[lweinste]

This deal did not end on Saturday. I picked up a copy today.

[Negative]

Picked up the last copy in Mcallen TX for 17.99. Temporary price cut might end tommorrow.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Does it ring up at $18. I checked my target earlier and even had it scanned and it was srtill $30. I'll try again tomorrow.

[omyard]

Just got back from my local Target and they still had this marked as a "Temporary Price Reduction" at $17.99. So my friend and I snagged a copy each.

[Mr. Wiggly]

Got mine at the Super Target off of Steve Reynolds Blvd. in Gwinnet, GA (just north of Atlanta). The Temporary Price Cut tag said the deal would be available through the 23rd. There were still about 3 or 4 when I bought my copy on Saturday.

[chickenhawk]

Got mine! It was marked $30 but rang up $18! Sweet!!!

[Thrinn]

Marked $18 at my Target. Been waiting a while for this one. :)

[Ugamer_X]

It's not raincheckable, since it's not listed in the in-store ad flier.

Actually, YMMV on that one. If an employee is able to scan the UPC or get the code for the product, they may or may not give you a raincheck.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Got mine today as well. Marked $30 but they checked the price and it was $18. There were ten copies on the shelf but since it wasn't marked I assume no one is buying it.

[tyecko]

got mine today too, she said it was 30 on the phone but I said " well on cheap ass gamer they say it rings up at 17.99" so she goes and asks a guy and comes back and says "well looks like you are correct". Another victory for CAG

[aphasias]

just a reminder that today (10/18) should be the last day to pick it up at this price (according to the 'temporary price cut' tag that i and a few others have seen).
so, if anyone has been putting it off, id suggest you make up your mind now...

[spidey]

No restock, still OOS at Queens Place Target. Passed by about half an hour ago.

went there last night and saw a $40 tag on it, and since nobody was near the dept. and the store was closing i didn't bother to check it. And tonight I can't go back, so it looks like I won't be getting in on this deal.

[Masterkyo]

I'll pickup tomorrow (my day off) if it's still $18

[fraeone]

There was a $40 tag at my local Target, and no dude to help me. Then I noticed that they now just have a button in the video game section to call someone over. Despite the $40 price tag, the sales associate told me it was 17 the instant I asked for a price check. He told me "it's over tomorrow" whether that means the price will last through tomorrow or not, I don't know. There was one copy left (Olympia).
