In this Sunday's Target ad(11/14) all games mentioned above are going for $14.77. If you take in the ad to Circuit City they'll price match plus take an extra 10% off.
Personally, I'm going to get...
Kingdom Hearts
Jak II
Wario World
Kirby's Air Ride
Animal Crossing
The Sims: Bustin Out
RoadKill

Is the first Ratchet still easy to find as a Greatest Hit? I haven't looked hard, but I want to get it and this might be the time to do so.

You've been here since May and you didn't know CC price matches and gives 10% difference?

CC has a GH sale of their own, so the 10% difference wont be much.

isnt it 10% off the difference not the price
20 -14.77 is 5.33 so it would only be an extra 53 cents ... now if you buy 10 that is an extra 5.33

Hey...completely unneeded hostility, buddy. Not everyone reads all of the deals or knows all of the tricks. I've bought maybe one or two games from Best Buy during my entire time on the site, and I've NEVER used a GGC. It's definitely reasonable to imagine someone who doesn't go to Circuit City very often...I'm surrounded by Best Buy and Circuit City stores, and I still don't go to them.

Yea, he flames mods all the time too so that makes him an idiot.... How dense can you be, I dont care wether youve been here a long time or not your still a fuck up who needs to get a little reality check before they type. Chances are your an 11 year old prick who thinks its cool to rip on people for being unaware of saving a couple bucks. This is CAG were here to help everyone out, not belittle others. Make sure you check with mommy the next time you go on the internet, cuz right now your fucking with the wrong person... its one thing to trash the OP but to trash a mod to these boards makes you real intelligent.

Yep, that is exactly right. Deal is barely better than just using a GGC at Best Buy which you can do any week.

11-14-2004, 05:28 PM
All Greatest Hits are on Sale at CC for $15.99.
$15.99 - 14.77 = 1.22 that means an extra 12 cents off on Greatest Hits. Still 53 cents off on player's choice or platinum hits.

Yea but it is still better than the GGC and it doesn't involve any of the extra work the GGC causes. Everytime I do it I have to physically walk out of the store and than come in and find a new cashier because they won't let me use it when I pick it up.

Yes thanks for the notice. However one thing I wanna caution everyone not to buy anything you wouldn't normally want right now. I mean you can get PH, GH, etc. for $15 all the time at Best Buy using the GGC. This is easier and saves you about a quarter so if you want the game now this is a good idea. But there's no need to go stock up on bad games (which some of them are) just because they're cheap.

That's not necessarily correct. Some stores are still stocking the silver-and-gree 2005 GGC with $5 off $19.99, and others aren't. Rumors of them completely disappearing are unfounded not confirmed.

Actually, you're wrong on another level. Some Gamecube GH games actually still retail for $29.99 so this is an even better deal on those games than using a GGC.

That is such a good point, often ..... very often I've bought crap games because they were cheap, and I never play them. Instead of by three crap games for $14 I should have bought one good one for full price.... So be cautious. No impulse buys people!

As a newbie who's been here a few months but has had little time to read the boards, I appreciate the information on the advertisement, as I now will get Ratchet and Clank 2, Jak II, Kingdom Hearts and probably a couple others.
I would have posted in the wrong place also. It's confusing to me. If you post it in the other thread, which is much longer, will a mod deem it appropriate for the main post? Seems to me it will be lost information. Guess that's what makes me a newb....

I went to Target today and try to pick up Mario Golf. IT rang up as $20, and the cashier had to change it by hand. I think this means that games like GTA double Pack or SMBM can get price adjust.

Except that any sign you see in the store will say "Regularly $19.99" so good luck getting anything over that marked down. Unless of course you confuse the cashier with the GCN PC titles that are $29.99.

Usually the case when somebody resorts to "you are a virgin", they've either gotten it once, and consider themselves a studbiscuit, or are hiding the fact that they are.
I'm neither, so I can tell you right now....you are an ass. The guy came to a board to tell folks about a videogame deal he found, about videogames mind you....being cheap.
If he posted wrong, why not use your obviously uber status of hitting the submit button 1k+ times and share your uber CAG poster knowledge to help him, and try not be such a poster child for a social noob.

Anyone see the Player's Choice version of Simpsons Hit & Run at their local Targets? They have the PS2 version on sale but I didn't see the GC version.
Ironically enough, the last time I was at my local Best Buy, they had the GC version but not the PS2 version.
