[6669]

Thanx Wario (again)!

[slidecage]

ARe these Target ads the same from last week. Just went to target and seeen some of these prices on the items now

[craven_fiend]

as always keep up the good work wario. i have a feeling next weeks ads are going to be far greater than this one. once again thanks for the work

[peace]

Thanks again for the ads. I think i might pick up some PH at CC

[6669]

Viewtiful Joe 2 is really tempting me. Too bad I sucked at the first one though.

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for the post my man, but I think I am sitting out this week. :D

[civx]

The 2 platinum hit titles for 30 bucks sounds hot.

[CouRageouS]

Cool deals. Picking up FF1&2 tomorrow for $20 w/GGC. Might get VJ2 and Megaman X8 at Target as well. Thanks again Wario.

[leeloo1977]

Thanks for the info, I am probably going to grab Harvest Moon at Target tomorrow :)

[mtxbass1]

The 2 platinum hit titles for 30 bucks sounds hot.

This seems to be a weekly thing now..at least one retailer CC,BB,Target, etc has this or a similar deal running.

Viewtiful Joe 2 at target looks decent though. Save about a dollar of ebgames price right now (29.99).

[Magician]

Thanks Wario! Nothing for me this week, except that B2G1 deal at CompUSA. Might run over to Best Buy as GGC a 251 Gamecube Memory Card and a Wavebird as well.

[regisphilbi0]

Thanks for posting the ads. Nothing for me this week (My Wallet is rejocing!)

[ZForce]

Yeah, nothing for me this week. What I'd like to really know is what kinda deals there will be on the Ext Edition of ROTK next week. If anyone happens to know, it would be greatly appreciated

[gsr]

i think there's just way too many PH/GH/PC titles these days.

stores are probably struggling to find shelf space for them so you see the sale every week to try and move their stock..

[gameguy22006]

Thanks for posting the ads. Nothing for me this week (My Wallet is rejocing!)

Amen to that, but thanks as always Wario!

[62t]

Good price on InuYasha.

[Xevious]

I'm burned out for the Target Platium Hits sale a few weeks ago. So nothing this week....

I appreciate the effort though, Wario

[mtxbass1]

Yeah, nothing for me this week. What I'd like to really know is what kinda deals there will be on the Ext Edition of ROTK next week. If anyone happens to know, it would be greatly appreciated

According to dvdfile and another thread on here, the EE will go for 22.99 at BB.

[help1]

thanks... I can wait till tom, then I can check the ads for a cheap MP3 player....

[help1]

isn't SC:PT old enough to be a PH?

[Fatesealer]

I'm not sure if it will work, but that free flyer BB has I THINK (I need to go out to the car to verify) has a $5 off any two PC/GH/PH or something to that effect... I'm sure if CC accepts that coupon, then 2 for $25 sounds even better...

[The Mana Knight]

I was just at Target today, and saw they had a pricecut on Viewtiful Joe 2 (PS2) for $28.88. I checked to see if MMX8 was that price, but it wasn't. I'll be back tomarrow to pick it up, along with Viewtiful Joe 2 (maybe).

[spin03]

greg hastings paintball for 20 bucks is a great deal

[ElwoodCuse]

I've got a $10 Best Buy gift card sitting around, very tempting to use that on AC5 for $30 after PM, that's even better than $33 for a used one after coupon at EB Games.com

[Vinny]

Viewtiful Joe 2 is really tempting me. Too bad I sucked at the first one though.

Don't worry, this one includes the 'sweet' difficulty, which is very easy... Unlike the 'Kids' difficulty of the GC version.

I might pick up Rumble Roses for $29. :D

Thanks Wario!

[Trakan]

isn't SC:PT old enough to be a PH?

It doesn't matter how old it is. It has to sell a certain number of copies. I'm sure it met the quota, but I think they'll wait to lower the price and make it a PH until Chaos Theory comes out.

[heffaji]

Thanks again Wario. Going to have to go get the price difference on Viewtiful Joe 2 this week.

[Sporadic]

Great list.....I just may pick up Greg Hasting's Tournament Paintball

[Lexian]

After the 2 for 25 deal on PH/GH/PC at EB during Black Friday, all of these 2 for something deals don't seem worth it, even though they are pretty good deals.

[shrike4242]

isn't SC:PT old enough to be a PH?

It doesn't matter how old it is. It has to sell a certain number of copies. I'm sure it met the quota, but I think they'll wait to lower the price and make it a PH until Chaos Theory comes out.

Didn't they do this for SC before SC:PT came out?

[Larsin]

thanks for the heads up!

[hiccupleftovers]

Does CC accept competitor's coupons?

[Wario64]

SC:PT for Xbox has sold about 500k up to December. But it doesnt really matter cause it's up to them to decide when it goes PH. Just look at the first Halo

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks again Wario.

[Trakan]

Didn't they do this for SC before SC:PT came out?

Actually, I think it was a bit sooner. I remember buying PoP and getting Splinter Cell PH free. PoP came out last November, and Pandora Tomorrow came out March of this year. Maybe I'm wrong, and PT will go PH soon.

[Murcielago77]

thx a lot slidecage, nothin for me though

[FaintDeftone]

Harvest Moon sounds like a good deal... too bad it sucked compared to the other games in the series. If it wasn't so bad, I would jump right on that.

Thanks Wario.

[Fatesealer]

I checked the coupon and it's for PC only. It's 'Buy any 2 PC titles, get $5 off'. It's in the Gamepro handout at BB. I might see if they will accept the coupon and get Animal Crossing and another PC title.

[Prof Elvin Gadd]

Does Target still give rainchecks with the choose a substiute thing on them?

[Trakan]

Does Target still give rainchecks with the choose a substiute thing on them?

31% off and under only.

[thingsfallnapart]

did everyone just happen to miss doom 3 for 20 bucks after GGC at best buy?

[Kaijufan]

Thanks Wario. Nothing for me this week, but thats fine because Im getting the RotK EE Gift Set.

[Edge]

Wow, Doom 3 and Chronicals of Riddick Director's Cut for $20 after GGC, very tempting. Heh, kinda wishing I didn't buy the Xbox version of CoR for $15 a few months ago. Oh well, no big loss.

[JaytheGamefan]

I might take advantage of the Mega Man X8 deal, thanks.

[maxflight]

pretty nice deals this week. target's been having some very tempting offers, baten kaitos sounds good to me.

[NeueZiel]

That Viewtiful Joe 2 looks mighty tempting, I heard it wasn't as good as the first but at that price who cares.

[Fatesealer]

Drop the price to $20 and I'll care... :-)

[Sancho]

does anyone else find it disturbing that there are no real sales at any of these places for the last real shopping week before Christmas?

[goukill1120]

anybody think that Rumble Roses will be cheaper soon ? I wanna get it for a friend but if it's gonna be 20 bucks in like 2 weeks I'll be pissed. Thanks for posting up the deals man.

[HOTSHIET]

I really wonder if the Gamecube bundle with mario kart will get the free memory, that would be sweet. Thanks for the post op.

[biggestinuyashafan]

i am back for the night!! thanks for the ads wario, greg hastings paintball is great for $20. if CC has it friday i am going to pick it up, otherwise i might go by best buy for that one.

[Misty Dawn]

Anyone know If I can buy the 2 for 30 Greatest hits etc online at CC?

[ZForce]

I have a feeling that shortly after christmas, Rumble Roses is going to drop in price.

[Nirvanaguy777]

And to think I just paid full price for megaman x8, oh well it was worth it, (biggest megaman fan ever here).

[thingsfallnapart]

just a note, stopped at best buy today..doom was 29.99 on sale.

[Alien Spider]

I was seriously tempted to get Rumble Roses, but then I saw VJ2 for the same price and went with that. Henshin-a-go-go! ^_^

Many thanks for the post, Wario!

[roachie17]

I might finally put down some cash for the Logitech Driving Force wheel at CC. Thanks for the ads.

[SeraphiMichael]

I was in Target today and saw the sale games. I am definately going back for that. Alas, nothing else of interest this week. Thanks OP

[Sancho]

and yet again I still find it disturbing that nobody notices that there are basically no sales on games just a week and a half before christmas

100% of the 49.99 titles are 49.99

98% of the 39.99 titles are 39.99..........meaning mortal Kombat Deception is the only regular 49.99 title I saw in those lists

who cares about megaman x8,baiton kaitos,etc,etc

there are no real deals and /or sales to be found at any of those stores except for the buy 2 for 30 deal, which eb games already had 3 weeks ago

so unless you missed out on that, that's essentially the only real deal going on w/ video games at any of those stores a week and a half before Christmas

again, it's disturbing :x

So what do you want? GTA: SA and Halo 2 for $5 each?

[hiccupleftovers]

Will CC accept BB's GGC or is it more of a YMMV type of a thing?

[asianxcore]

circuit city is lame.

tried to get Need for Speed Underground (PS2) and Morrowind (xbox) for that 2 for 30 sale. making them 15 a piece plus tax. the lady at the register said she couldn't give me the sale because Morrowind was already 16.99.

correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that sound weird?

[Trakan]

It's YMMV. Call your CC and ask if they'll accept competitor's coupons.

[shrike4242]

I know it's never worked for me the times I've tried it.

LOL someone tried to do the Circuit City deal the way it was meant to be and they actually got turned away. Anyone else think this is a little backward?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the sale "2 GH/PH/PC for $30?" That'd be why. NFSU doesn't qualify. Plus I think it said "Regularly priced $19.99," so Morrowind wouldn't qualify.

Why would there be sales? The best sales are in late January/mid-February as retailers try to get rid of everything that didn't sell in the Christmas rush. People are scrambling to buy gifts now and will pay good money for them. It would be dumb to have huge discounts.

[shrike4242]

The real curious thing for me is to see what they do this weekend, since this is the last weekend before XMas.

Next Friday might have some oddball sales, being XMas eve.

in the CC Ad they had Need For Speed Underground pictured as a greatest hits. they said NFSU was fine but it was morrowing that didn't qualify

I do realize its games that are regularly priced 19.99 but by giving me NFSU for 14.99 and Morrowind for 16.99, I'm not saving much compared to if I bought 2, 19.99 games. which is why I was just surprised they wouldn't do it. I don't know if that makes sense

Yep, I was kind of surprised that some of the posters here are "disturbed" about this. This time of the year is probably the best time not to slash prices and still move units. It's a sellers market until christmas passes and then the sales begin again.

[SEGA128DC]

Well, I went to CC today, I got Brute Force (XB) and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (XB), both for $29.99. The two games were the (non PH) version...:D

I also got Legacy of Kain: Defiance (XB) for $14.99. I don't know if this has been mentioned, but, I did see SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom (XB) for $39.99, and Silent Hill 4: The Room (XB) for $34.99...

[SinnerChrno]

who cares about megaman x8,baiton kaitos,etc,etc


I care about Mega Man a lot, and I'm sure other people do too.

I wish I had read this topic sooner, I just wasted my time buying X8 at Best Buy, going to Target, going back to Best Buy to get my money back, and then back to Target again to buy it there instead. Oh well, I finally found the first season Gargoyles DVD at Target so I bought that too. :D

[*zero*]

I was looking at CC weekly ad both of them. The games say expired on them when you move your mouse near the 2 games for $30.00 deal. Are they selling games or not. I wanted the $5 dollar deal a couple days ago. Are
the games coming out $5 again or what.

Wired weekly ad to say that
