All PS2 games 50% off at Ultimate Electronics !!! FF-X 2 $24.99, Jak II $19.99

[Yeahman]

This was originally posted at IGN boards. That's were I learned about this site, starting with the Kay Bee Toys sale. I guess it's time to return the favor.

Ultimate Electronics advertised recently they were closing out Playstation games at 20% off. As of Thursday all Playstaion 2 and PSone games are 50% off

There might not be one in your area but if there is go check it out. This includes all major Holiday releases if there are any left.

*Heads to Ultimate*

Deal confirmed at Arl, Tx store.

They still have:

Jak II $19.99
FFX-2 $24.99
Prince of Persia $24.99
Ratchet and Clank 2 $19.99
Max payne 2 $24.99
Ratchet and Clank $9.99
Max Payne $9.99
Ico $14.99

No SSX 3, TH V, Or Lord of the Rings.

I even found a copy of Mister Mosquito which I couldn't find at CC.

If you've got one in your area hit em hard and fast because this may be in tommorrow's ad, and then they will be even further picked over.

Good luck!

[nintendokid]

Confirmed!!! I called the closes UE and they said that yes, they are closing out on their games. I asked, "Really, every game?" and she said, Yup.

Happy shopping....

[TheGreatWang]

When does this expire?

[Dysheekie]

Damn great deal. It's unfortunate that I've never heard of Ultimate Electronics before.

[chosen1s]

This is legit. I just called the store. They are closing out all their Playstation stuff. I'm off!

[Dr Mario Kart]

HOLY BOB! I'm off as well!

[rgam2000]

I'll stop by the store later tonight. I hope they have some good games.

[MaxDillon]

anybody know if this applies to online purchases? I browsed the website, but saw no mention of any closeout specials.

[sisko]

Ultimate Electronics, Soundtrack, and Audio King are all the same company.

Don't get entirely excited though. I used to work there and the selection is minimal, and prices take forever to drop.

[xSic315]

Someone get me the entire Silent Hill series. :o

[Akkis99]

Are there any of these stores in NYC? Do they have a website?

[Akkis99]

Are there any of these stores in NYC? Do they have a website?

[robdees]

Just picked up Contra shattered soldier and Soul Calibur 2 for $40 total. Thanks for the info Yeahman!

[Acrylic]

Will they be marked off if I order online?

[nintendokid]

However, don't get your hopes up too much. Unless you are the buying new holiday releases like Max Payne 2, Budokai 2, ESPN 2004 sports games, etc., you are still just getting a deal no better than Circuit City. They were still selling FFX at half of $49.99 (which is rediculous...no wonder they are closing down the vgame program). However, I spotted a non-GH FFX and just had to get it for my future bro-in-laws so as a smartypants, I told them to call CC because it's 14.99 this week but the guy eventually told me that they can only match it, they can't match the competition, then mark down 1/2.

Did I mention...

GTA Double Pack 39.99 ---> 19.00

Just in case anyone does live in Twin Cities, Minnesota or surrounding suburbs, there are still:

2 shinobi
10+ ESPN sports games
1 FFX-2
1 Soul Cal 2
8+ GTA DP
3 Max Payne 2
1 Arc the Lad
2 Budokai 2
2 Wild Arms 3 (might wanna price match with CC 9.96)

@ woodbury accesories are not marked down for some odd reason

[guessed]

However, don't get your hopes up too much. Unless you are the buying new holiday releases like Max Payne 2, Budokai 2, ESPN 2004 sports games, etc., you are still just getting a deal no better than Circuit City...

Oh man, too bad. I was hoping they'd have Haven and Gungrave for half off. Who would want new releases for 50% off? </sarcasm>

Doesn't make a difference to me, though, as there is no Ultimate Electronics in my state.

[evilmax17]

http://ultimateelectronics.com/storelocator/storelocatormain.jsp?ruleID=51&itemType=Store_Loca tor&itemID=0

Not even close to me :(

[killermike3706]

What the hell!!! They got ones in dallas, austin, arlington and none in houston!!

[bowsernieb]

I have one right near me...I'll have to stop by there tomorrow.

[Masterkyo]

Wowow... another GREAT DEAL

I am checkout the store tomorrow. HOpe, i can finf Ratchet & Clank 2, GTA: DP (Xbox), FFX2 & couple more titles ;)

[Acrylic]

Is this in store only or online too?!!!

[ayolykewhoa]

None in the east coast....

[timmylamb]

Well thanks alot 128$ that was supposed to buy me textbooks got me Max payne 2, FFX-2, Prince of Persia, TMNT, and 4 trade in games going towards Ninja Gaiden at EBgames hehe. Oh well who needs books when I wont be studying anyways i'll be playing all my new games! Also I hit the Arlington TX store, selection was minimal only things worthwhile was a few new sports games and 1 FFX-2 and 2 Prince of Persia, rest of the titles were so so. New CAG convert right here!

Tim

[D4rkewolfe]

Well I guess the CC sale was enough for me...since no stores in NC. Thanks for the info Yeahman, and excellent keeping up on the list while the CC sale lasted.

[CaseyRyback]

Tim

UTA?

[JibbaJabba]

just picked up:

Rune PS2 $10
Tales of Destiny II PSX $20

Going back in the morning and getting an Eye Toy for $25

[timmylamb]

Hehe UTA alum got my BS there, going to UNT for my Masters.

Tim

[D4rkewolfe]

So anyone gonna hook anyone? *smirk* Just thought I'd ask

[Yeahman]

Hey Timmy was the Arlington store the only one you've checked?

I checked that one and was hoping they would have Metal Arms but no luck.

UTA Grad here!!

[TheRaven]

I just picked up an Eye Toy, Castlevania LoI, Rachet & Clank Going Commando and Sly Cooper for 80 bucks...Not a bad deal at all.

[pfunkpearl]

is it off xbox too? I have all the ps2 games mentioned, I'm looking for legacy of kain defiance for xbox. Anyone know?

[Yeahman]

The only games Ultimate carries are Playstation. They mainly sell higher end electronics so they are doing away with video games all together.

[timmylamb]

Ya Arlington was the only one I went to, i'd go check some more tomm but unfortunately its NFL playoff time hehe, cant miss the games!

Wuhuu Go Movin Mavs!

Tim

[Dr Mario Kart]

Just came back from the one in austin. Picked dry.

[rgam2000]

I got Arc the lad, Dark Cloud 2 and Sly cooper (non GH) for $50.00.

[ryosnk]

Is their one in the Chicago land area?

[nintendokid]

Wowow... another GREAT DEAL

I am checkout the store tomorrow. HOpe, i can finf Ratchet & Clank 2, GTA: DP (Xbox), FFX2 & couple more titles ;)

I don't think they carry any other games besides PS/PS2...at least at the one I went to, and the gaming section is 2 aisles that are about only 5 feet high and 15 feet long...I'm suprised they still had Shinobi, Wild Arms 3, and FFX non-GH! Most better retailers do not even have those brand-new and sealed anymore.

[rgam2000]

My local Ultimate electronics also had a couple of non GH FFX.

[JohnnyDrama]

Damn, no UE stores in my area, let alone the whole state of California. Oh well, happy shopping to those near one.

[Blamo]

Does anyone know if this is also avaliable online? There isn't a single Ultimate for a good 500 miles...

[Masterkyo]

Got 1 store around 5 miles & other is 25 miles.

I think i'll have BestBuy for Pricematch ;)

[Murcielago77]

You would think there is a store in California or New York but no

[JibbaJabba]

Got 1 store around 5 miles & other is 25 miles.

I think i'll have BestBuy for Pricematch ;)

I did'nt think bestbuy would price match another stores clearence items.

Will they? if anyone knows.

[Whambamm]

Yeah...I went to the one in Austin and there wasn't much. I did get Mark of Kri and Shinobi for $30. They had 1 copy of FFX2, about 5 PoP, and 2 SC2, and that was about it.

[spaniel]

HOLY BOB! I'm off as well!

Did they have anything left at the Austin store, Dr Mario Kart? I too am heading up there ASAP.

[JackSuper]

PS2 Eyetoys 50% off = 25.00

[new1]

Anyone willing to hook me up with cheap FFX2? PM Me to talk about price if you do :)

[nathan_the_rock]

none in michigan!

[Dr Mario Kart]

The two stores in the Austin area are cleaned out pretty good already, unfortunately.

[CD]

Several here within the city, gonna have to hit one up and see what's left :o

[RobotSimp]

Picked up an Eye Toy for 25, Also found out the sale is for Games only no accessories or other items

[D4rkewolfe]

I would definetly like an Eye Toy & Karoke Revolution...anyone seen Kareoke Revolution? If they are $25 each...how much would someone charge for shipping through Media Mail or something. If they have Kareoke Revolution without the mic that might just be 20....Just wondering if anyone going there is willing to hook someone up...game at cost, fair shipping...and a couple of bucks for gas. Fair question.

[asianxcore]

damn, closest one to me is in Nevada. Getting the new Ratchet and Clank for 19.99 would be rad. But oh well I've spent too much money on games in the past month anyway. good luck shopping.

[Ugamer_X]

Grrrrr...None in California...

*contemplates driving to Las Vegas*

[JibbaJabba]

I would definetly like an Eye Toy & Karoke Revolution...anyone seen Kareoke Revolution? If they are $25 each...how much would someone charge for shipping through Media Mail or something.

D4rkeWolfe I'm heading out now I will pick up an extra Eyetoy for you, just send me a PM with your e-mail, address and how you want to pay.

[Vajra]

Which Austin store did you see FF X-2 in?

I just came back from the Parmer store. That was pretty picked clean. I managed to get Sillent Hill 3 there. Jak II was the only thing else there that seemed interesting.. the rest were either badly reviewed games, or older games that should have been much less.

[Yeahman]

I checked a store in Cedar Hill, Tx and they had a lot of stuff.

Soul Caliber II
ESPN Football
Castlevania
FFX-2
Dark Cloud 2
Ratchet 2
Jak 2
SOCOM 2
Silent Hill 3
Some GH stuff

This store was probably not selling stuff as well, because they had taken all the plastic wrap off the games and then cut the security strip at the top.
Obviously they were prventing resellers and dealers from loading up but it's still kind of tacky, even if it is still a new game.

[Whambamm]

I went to the store next to Lakeline, and like I said they only had one copy of FFX-2, and that was at 7:00 last night, so it's likely not there anymore.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Cedar Hill and Lakeline are the same thing. The only other store in the Austin area is Palmer.

[regisphilbi0]

Just went to the ultimate in St. Louis today. Picked up RC:GC and Sly cooper for 30 bucks. Also saw they had many ESPN football games, dark cloud 2, castlevania: LOI, Manhunt, POP, Splinter Cell (But no both for 25 bucks). Had plenty of EYETOY.

[aTaRiFrEaK223]

Thanks for telling about this offer. I was able to pick up Max Payne 2 and Rachet and Clank: GC for $45

[Vajra]

Cedar Hill and Lakeline are the same thing. The only other store in the Austin area is Palmer.

I think you're meaning Cedar Park and Lakeline. Cedar Hill is up by the Dallas metroplex.


Has anyone dropped by the Lakeline one today (Sunday)? and saw FF X2? I want that game, but obviously won't have a chance to go until tomorrow.

Figure our friendly cheapassgame deal network might be able to let me know :)

[Dr Mario Kart]

yes yes, you are correct. Lakeline is the same as cedar park, not cedar hill.

I did go by Lakeline today to get myself an eyetoy for 24.95. I did not see an FF X-2, nor did I see much of anything else.

[TheRaven]

I went back today and grabbed FFX2 and I got an even better deal on it. The game rang up with the 50% off automatically, so it came to 24.99, and then the cashier took another 50 percent off on top of it. So I got it for 12.50. The manager had to come over and was in a huff to approve it, trying to tell me that only PS1 games should get a discount. I pointed out the signs and he approved the sale. He was right in a way, something was wrong with the sale as they gave me an extra discount, which is why he had to come over in the first place. But I wasn't going to point that out if they weren't going to do anything about it.

[Vajra]

Ok, thanks. Saves me a trip up there.. I can stay home and instead work on the games I already have :)

[Masterkyo]

I did call 2 store near meeeh none of them have the items i looking for :(

[D4rkewolfe]

D4rkeWolfe I'm heading out now I will pick up an extra Eyetoy for you, just send me a PM with your e-mail, address and how you want to pay.
I sent it man, I do appreciate it greatly

[earlje]

could anyone score me dark cloud 2? im tight on the budget so hope u give me a good deal... :oops:

[thabizzle]

hey regis, which UE did you go to? I'm going to the Bridgeton store during my lunch tomorrow.

[regisphilbi0]

thabizzle, i went to the one on Manchester. They still had a bunch of cheap games. I might try and go back later this week, see what's left. what was good on sale at bridgeton? That one probably doesn't get too much traffic.

[pimp tyranny]

damn, never heard of it.

[dynamite99]

damnit, no store in my area. somebody do me a favor and get me some games? would be greatly apreciate (if you're going anyway)

[nathan]

I went to the Soundtrack (Thorton, CO) about 5 minutes from my house. Selection sucked! But stacks of Eyetoys. Service reps were rude as hell too!

I myself got NCAA March Madness 2004 for about $25.

Games I saw there included:
PaRappa 2
ESPN NFL Football
Rougue Ops
Jet X2O
Dark Cloud 2

and a bunch of old sports games overpriced :P

[TheGreatWang]

At the store I live close by(Wichita,KS), there was Jak II, Manhunt, Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles, Mister Misquito, Terminator 3, Dark Cloud, DBZ Budokai, and Ratchet and Clank. That's all I can remember. I'm going to go pick up Jak II tomorrow.

[D4rkewolfe]

I would definetly like an Eye Toy & Karoke Revolution...anyone seen Kareoke Revolution? If they are $25 each...how much would someone charge for shipping through Media Mail or something.

D4rkeWolfe I'm heading out now I will pick up an extra Eyetoy for you, just send me a PM with your e-mail, address and how you want to pay.
Did you get my PM with information? Or were you not able to get it?

[JackSuper]

Don't forget about those ol' PS1 games, all are 50% off and the majority are $5 after discount.

[earlje]

theres no Unlimited Electronics for another 500miles near me so called my sister who lives in vegas to pick me Jak II, FF-X2, Dark Cloud 2, Silent Hill 3... SWEET!!! wanted prince of persia but then i thought i was asking too much already. she says there re a whole lot more of these at Rainbow, nevada (vegas)
looks like im gonna be busy for awhile.. :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

[JibbaJabba]

Yes pm received. I sent you an e-mail last night, but I guess it never made it.

Anyway sent you a pm with the info.

LMK

[D4rkewolfe]

Payment sent :) thanks for everything

[PuNkNeB]

On a tip :wink: , went and checked out Roseville and Brooklyn Center, MN stores today, came home with:

Arc the Lad 19.95
Silent Hill 3 19.95
Manhunt 24.95
Castlevania: Lament 24.95
GTA Double Pack: 19.95
Jak II 19.95
Gauntlet Dark Legacy 9.95
Prince of Persia 24.95
Dark Cloud 2 19.95

Only game I wanted and didn't get was X-2, but obviously I'm not complaining. Thanks so much for posting this deal....I would never have found it otherwise! Between this and the EA Store deal a few weeks ago, checking CAG every day has really paid off!!

[spookyhurst]

I went to 3 Ultimate Electronics stores in Phoenix Arizona today, and blew all my Christmas and birthday money. At the first one, I got :
Eye Toy - 24.95
Castlevania: LOI -24.95
Manhunt - 24.95
Def Jam Vendetta - 24.95
James Bond: Nightfire - 14.95.

It was the second store that I really hit the jackpot. The cashier gave me 50% off, and then took another 50% off, but I don’t think she was probably supposed to do that. Anyway, I got:
Prince of Persia - 12.48
LOTR: Return of the King - 12.48
Freedom Fighters - 12.48
Midnight Club 2 - 9.98
Dark Cloud 2 - 9.98
Downhill Domination - 9.98
Silent Hill 3 - 9.98

At the third store, I got:
Jak II - 19.95

Thank you so much for posting this deal! I never would have found it otherwise. And if you live in Phoenix, the UE on Peoria Avenue still has a pretty good selection.

[thabizzle]

got Castlevania for 12.50...nice!!

[DriftChamp]

I went to 3 different stores today. I got:

Eye Toy $25
Final Fantasy X-2 $25
Max Payne 2 $25
True Crime $25
SOCOM II $25
Midway Arcade Treasures $10
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles $20
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando $20
Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1) $7.50
Qix Neo (PS1) $5

Games I saw, but didn't get:

Castlevania Lament of Innocence $25
DBZ Budokai 2 $25
Desert Storm II $25
ESPN NBA Basketball $25
ESPN NFL Football $25
Freedom Fighters $25 (could have been $20, I don't remember)
Hobbit $25
Manhunt $25
NASCAR 2004 $25
Prince of Persia $25
Soul Calibur II $25
Spyhunter 2 $25
WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain $25
Jak II $20
Guilty Gear X $10
Mr. Mosquito $10
3rd party dance pad with PS1 game $15

I was hoping to find XIII and Karaoke Revolution, but no luck finding those.

[Dr Mario Kart]

I picked up an extra copy of Dark Cloud 2. You can have it at cost (plus any extra you care to tip).

$19.95 * 1.0825 (tax) = 21.60 + $4 shipping (or $6 with insurance) = $25.60/$27.60.

If paying by Paypal, add 5% for the fees they charge. So it becomes
$26.88/$28.98

I will probably also trade it for a variety of things, if you care to offer.

(I cant believe you got a FF X-2 this late in the same, figured they wouldve gone quick)

Come to think of it I also got Crash Bandicoot and Wild Arms 3 because it was so cheap but I really dont want it now that I've had more time to think about it.

[nathan]

It was the second store that I really hit the jackpot. The cashier gave me 50% off, and then took another 50% off, but I don’t think she was probably supposed to do that. Anyway, I got:
Prince of Persia - 12.48
LOTR: Return of the King - 12.48
Freedom Fighters - 12.48
Midnight Club 2 - 9.98
Dark Cloud 2 - 9.98
Downhill Domination - 9.98
Silent Hill 3 - 9.98
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! Lucky bastard!

Did you already decide on getting those games or did you notice she already bungled and said "hold on, let me grab even more games?"

[Dr Mario Kart]

In theory, you wouldve risked someone finding out the transaction was wrong the longer you took, but out of general principle, you shouldve bought nearly everything there was.

[spookyhurst]

In a fit of temporary insanity, I actually had all those games when I checked out. When it only rang up for 80 bucks, I paid and got the hell out of there before they could change their minds about it. I feel quite lucky :D It looks like a few other people on here got lucky as well.

[timmylamb]

LOL if it was me I would have taken my first shipment of games to the car and came back and gotten even more games, they really cant do anything about the first batch of games since you have already paid them for it and moved them out of the store.

Tim

[bowsernieb]

I was hoping they'd have their accessories for 50 percent off too (so I could get a PS2 headset for 15), but no such luck. Mine had Sly Cooper for 8...and the Hulk was still 50 so it was only 25. I would've bought the Hulk had it been NORMAL PRICE.

Oh well...

[D4rkewolfe]

Anyone heading out there again? Pick some games up at cose for some of us East Coast CAGs? Someone is already hooking me up with the Eye Toy. Just wondering if anyone could find these games for me and hook me up.
- Kareoke Revolution (w/ or w/o mic)
- Socom II
- Castlevania LOI
- Disgaea (which I doubt you can find)
If not, well thanks anyways.

[nathan]

So I went to the Soundtrack in Boulder, CO.

Apparently, they have 40% off all games instead of 50% :( Well, the selection was good. I saw R&C2, Shinobi ($50!!!) and some other things I can't remember.

[Dr Mario Kart]

someone that talked to an employee said that the employee said the discount will eventually be applied to accessories as well, so we'll need to keep track of when that actually occurs.

[thabizzle]

i bought Mr. Mosquito today...kind of a niche title, but for 10 bucks, come on!! I guess those people who bought mammoth home theater systems thought they were too good to buy a PS2. oh well, their loss is our gain!

[Yeahman]

I'm glad I didn't drive out of my way to check out other stores. I wanted to find Metal Arms, but no one seems to be seeing that one so maybe UE didn't order it.

As far as Shinobi goes the website price is $29.99 even thought it's marked $49.99. If your store has their games half off it should ring up $14.99

[vertigo_phreeze]

*threads merged here*

sorry if this is old news and that it is so late in the game, but i just found out yesterday.

in the ad for this week, Ultimate Electronics has 50% off all games (all they carry is Playstation 1 & 2). they dont have the biggest selection in the world, but i picked up Mr. Mosquito (couldnt find one at CC) for $10 and an Eye Toy for $25. this is a Brick and Mortar deal because they have the stupidest website ever...so dont bother looking there.

also, if anyone can find Contra for PS2 at theirs, i will be more than happy to buy it at a decent price. (should be $15)

[aTaRiFrEaK223]

Yeah, this was posted awhile ago. I can't wait till they go 60 or 75 off (Thats if they do).

[spookyhurst]

Does anyone know if they've dropped their prices on PS2 accessories?

[akilshohen]

probably so if the topic starter got a eye toy for $25

[thabizzle]

the eyetoy is classified as a game by Ultimate Electronics. I got a price check on it last week when I bought Castlevania for $12.50.

[spookyhurst]

I got an Eye Toy a couple of weeks ago for $25, but there was no sale on accessories at that time. I'd really like to pick up a headset and a couple of memory cards, so I'm hoping they'll drop to 50% off soon.

[vertigo_phreeze]

Does anyone know if they've dropped their prices on PS2 accessories?

i actually asked the lady at the counter that, and she said they would most likely just let them sell out at regular price. if you guys hear anything different let me know though, because i dont make it a point to go by there unless i absolutely have to.

[Masterkyo]

Most of Stuff is OOS. I can't any games in my "BUY LIST" but I did use Target Raincheck (Madden 2004) subsitue for Eyetoy (PS2) $18.88 plus taxes :)

I wish i have got more Raincheck like that !! :)

[Anonymous]
