[regisphilbi0]

Tiger Woods 05 for $9.99 looks good, but thats it. Thanks for posting!

[SevereTireDamage]

Very early! Thank you.

[yeldarb367]

Thanks for the info. Red dot sale might be interesting.

[Rubberlegs]

Thanx for the heads up OP. Red dot sale looks pretty interesting.

[lurknomore]

I like the F-Zero GP game at that price. I remember playing that awhile back, but I'm interested in buying it for myself now.

[darkwingduck13]

Just to be extra-super-clear: is it 50% off of the listed price, or is the listed price what the game would be after the discount?

I'm pretty sure the prices listed are already discounted, but just to be sure...

[Admiral Ackbar]

Thanks OP!

We need some CC insider to get the list early.

[CouRageouS]

This is just wishful thinking, but remember how the $5 CC sale had their prices ringing up a week or so early? Perhaps the red dot games are as well. Another thought is the red dots are those Value Game stickers and they'll all be up to 50 percent off.

[wubb]

Thanks for the post!

[MaxBiaggi3]

Backyard Wrestling 2 fell in price with a mighty thud. I know the game got hideous reviews, but I certainly didn't think that would stop it from selling reasonably well to a certain demographic. Maybe it really is as bad as I've heard. . .

[jrutz]

You rock Dropout! Thanks!

Jeremy

[Cpt Hooks]

Wow a full list of the possible games in the deal would be incredible.
Thanx for the heads up Dropout, I can start collecting all of my pennies

[kaw]

Red dot sale has a lot of potential. Maybe CC will clear out their 15.99-19.99 games? With 50 titles, it should be interesting...


Thanks for the heads up.

[DisturbedZen]

Thanks for the heads up.

Agreed, hopefully some nice deals will pop up. Maybe someone can give us an official post about the games.

[Zenithian Legend]

CC hates GC

[Santurio]

damn, there goes my check.

[mkelehan]

$13 Zelda 2. I'm there.

[Magician]

Sims Deluxe looks pretty promising for 9.99... Thanks Dropout!

Still have an odd urge to say thanks trust after all these weeks... >.<

[lordopus99]

is it 50% off of the listed price, or is the listed price what the game would be after the discount?

read it closely... its up to 50% off. Doesn't necessarily mean all games in promotion are 50% off. Could only be 5% for all we know.

As for Backyard Wrestling 2, CC sures knows to try and get rid of that stock early.

Thanks again TC.

I think I will pass again this week as I am still saving for Growlanser.

[Monsta Mack]

Hmm... I think I'll wait till BYW2 is $5
This could be interesting though, could be some sweet deals for $12 or so.

[davelin]

One week early, that's great, thanks OP!

[FriskyTanuki]

With some birthday money coming in, I think Hitman 2 and F-Zero GP legend would be good games to buy for myself.

[wongdiggity]

thanks for the post OP

it'll be an even greater thanks if the red dot sale amounts to something!

[alfonsosoriano]

I'll have to check out my CC when that starts, thanks!

[hiccupleftovers]

That red dot sale might hold some water on its own. Gonna have to check that. Very nice prices for Age of Mythology and Rise of Nations: Gold Edition. Hopefully BB has it at the same price so I'll GGC both of those but if they don't than oh well, I'll just get it at CC.

Thanks Dropout.

[gameguy22006]

Thanks for posting this so early. I'll definetly be checking out this red dot sale.

[mobster011]

f-zero gp legend for $15 will be all mine.

[JasonTerminator]

I've been waiting for a $40 KOTOR 2.

I'll use the BB coupon I have for $5 off and get it for $35, oh yeah!

[elprincipe]

Next time someone goes to CC, check out the prices on some games and see if they already dropped the price like in previous sales (early). You could try some in the advertisement, like BW2, and see if it comes up for $14.99.

[Pancake Rabbit]

Teh red dotz sails meak my pants shrink

[Vinny]

Looks decent, hopefully they have some good games with the red dot so I can use that 50% off.

[Demolition Man]

No DS love... :(

I'll see what I can find out folks in regards to the 50% off sale.

[Agent_logan]

Damn, the boy must have a time machine to get it this early!

[shrike4242]

Damn, the boy must have a time machine to get it this early!

His magical powers us mere mortals can't comprehend.

updated w/ Best Buy & Target's Super Extended Gaming Section

[mario23air]

POP2 for $25, hmmmmm

[wubb]

Ah CC denied me using the BB PoP:WW coupon from OXM when they had the game on sale for $35 two weeks ago (girl said I could either take the coupon off the regular $50 price, or buy the game for the sale price of $35)

So I tucked the coupon in my glove box in the hopes that BB would have a similar sale.

"It's all falling into place."

[doubledown]

Whoops, I think I just threw out my $10 off POP2 coupon from EGM or one of those free mags

[JohnnyDrama]

awesome, thanks for the info

[jrutz]

POP2 for $25 is sweet now, but by the time I get around to playing it I can find it for less than $20. Still thanks OP.

Jeremy

my thoughts as well...the coupon expires on 2.28.5, so im hoping for another drop b4 it expires...if not, oh well...i'll do as you said

[JunkyardGod]

w/free X-Arcade

...wait a sec.

does this mean the X-Arcade joystick?! or some other X-Arcade product?

i've heard the x-arcade is a pretty crappy joystick actually compared to others in the same price range (you could get a Hori stick or build a better one for around the same price), but free would clinc the deal.

i don't know anything about it, except for whats in the ad....its a disc in an xbox case and there is a detail box next to the pic on the ad that says "download classic arcade games using Xbox Live"

[Larsin]

thanks for the heads up!

[supadupacheap]

Does anybody know anything about that gameshark lite thing? Wondering if it has downloadable saves, etc, or it its just a cheating device.

[The Successful Dropout]

check best buy.com

[supadupacheap]

Did, and checked the inet. Very vague as to its fuction. I prob. should just get the PA Replay since I know itll do the trick but Im trying to be a cheapass

[Edge]

Some nice deals, but I think I'll hold off for now. Thanks for the post, The Successful Dropout (wait...was that always your name?). Any chance you could also post videocard deals? It may be computer hardware, but I think it's just as much a piece of gaming hardware as consoles are (I mean really, who's going to buy a $400 videocard to watch DVDs ;) ).

[SEGA128DC]

Hmm, GameShark Starter Kit for $14.99? Interesting...

I never thought the GameShark would ever be released on the Xbox...

[The Successful Dropout]

Some nice deals, but I think I'll hold off for now. Thanks for the post, The Successful Dropout (wait...was that always your name?). Any chance you could also post videocard deals? It may be computer hardware, but I think it's just as much a piece of gaming hardware as consoles are (I mean really, who's going to buy a $400 videocard to watch DVDs ;) ).

unfortunately (for you), im not going to be able to post the videocard deals too....there are a few reasons why:

1. even though i type over 100 wpm, you'd be surprised how long it takes to type up all of the vg/dvd ads as it is...which includes organizing them in pricing catagories, prettying the posts up with highlights/bolds/underlines/italics/etc and not to mention the newness of splitting the vg and dvd deals up into two differenct threads

2. i don't know crap about computer hardware....including whats good and whats not, as well as whats good for what price and whats not (when buying a computer or hardware for it, i usually just buy the most expensive crap i can find just so i know i'm getting something good....though im sure thats the best way to get ripped off)...with that said, im good with computers and i am able to find my way around them pretty good (if that makes sense)

3. its gotta stop somewhere or else i'll end up having to type the whole ads up

4. you can probably find better deals online for video cards and that type of stuff than in the BB, CC, & Target ads

sorry if i sound like an ass...but im trying my best to make as many people happy as possible (as well as myself)...depending on how busy i am with my job and personal life, from time to time i've accepted some special requests from fellow CAGs on products that aren't videogame/dvd related

[smellhasreturned]

backyard wrestling 2 for 15 dollah... must not buy arghh

[BustaUppa]

What happened to NBA Street?

[chair_home]

Oh, okay, so its the Xbox Live Arcade. I almost ran into the future to grab the deal cause I thought it was the X-Arcade stick. I have the dual sticks and they are pretty good quality.

[Edge]

The Successful Dropout: no problem, it was just a suggestion. The reason I brought it up is because occasionally Best Buy has some nice deals on video cards (sometimes they'll even have sales where you get free games with them, like a few months ago they were giving away Half-life 2 along with a $300 video card for $250 total). Since BB and probably CompUSA/Circuit City only put 1 or 2 video cards into each of their ads, I didn't think it would've taken that much more time to type them out. But whatever, I'm just happy to get game deals a few days in advance.

You were right about getting ripped off when you buy the most expensive stuff though, there's almost always a budget card that manages to really stand out as the best deal out there. If there's one thing I've learned about being a cheapass gamer, it's that you can find deals in ALL aspects of gaming if you look hard enough, it's just that some parts of it seem to require you to have a degree in rocket science to figure out some of this stuff.

[DX]

Any new info on the red dot sale?

[bubbles]

nm!

[DX]

Wait X-Arcade free with mechassault 2? X-Arcade the 100 dollar joystick? Or is it something else?

The free XBOX Arcade disc. :lol:

[Murcielago77]

What did happen to NBA Street V3? In the other topic, the dude posted that it was gonna be 39.99 at CC, so is it?

[lemurballs]

I'll be getting tiger tomorrow morning. The last time it went to $19.99 it sold out early.

[MaxBiaggi3]

Mike Tyson had a pet tiger, and we all know how that ended up. If you play with tigers, you're going to get bit.

[FaintDeftone]

Will these red dot games be in a bin or something? I would hate to search through every game section looking for whats on sale and what % off it has.

[Matt Young]

I'll be getting tiger tomorrow morning. The last time it went to $19.99 it sold out early.

Wait... Do you mean the PC version for $9.99, or do they have one of the console versions for $19.99? If it's the latter you're referring to, I didn't see that.

I've been trying to find Tiger '05 for the Xbox for $30 or less for a while, so any help would be appreciated.

[Murcielago77]

Im gonna check the ads in like 10 minutes (when they update) to see if NBA Street V3 is in the ad or not. Ill post after i check

ok well im not sure if it means its a low price like target does (50 bucks) or low price like the price right next to it underneath KOTOR 2.

[JaytheGamefan]

Classic SMB and GTA Double Pack (Xbox) have some good prices, I might check them out.
