You must be looking at a different eBay than I am. All the ones I see for sale on eBay are $15. That's not including the $75,897 in shipping, as per usual eBay practice.

I'm pretty sure this will be the in-store price as well. Circuit City is usually pretty consistent with their online and in-store prices. They already sell the Sega GT/JSRF combo for a penny, so I would guess they would have no problem selling this combo for a penny as well. I'll check one of my local CC's during lunch. Hopefully they'll have the combo.

04-13-2004, 10:49 AM
You may want to ask the cashiers if they have any of either combo. I know at least one of my local CC's stores these combo discs in a draw by the registers. So you might want to double check with the cashier if you don't see the combo's out on the shelves.

sure it says 15, but thats the minimum asking price...nobody is biting...only ones actually going are selling for 1-3 dollars

I don't recommend calling.

I just called and when I gave them the UPC (from the online ad) she put me on hold (I heard a male employee gasp) and then a couple minutes later say, um sorry no there aren't any in stock.

My two cents? Those other employees saw that this was a penny and took them.

Well I know if this was best buy, it would be cancelled. I am not sure about circuit city but they are usually good with stuff like this. I never got a game I ordered and no problem they refunded my money. I mean they found out about this mistake in 25 or so minutes, best buy wouldn't have known for an hour or so, lol.

Sadly they wouldnt allow me to buy mine in store. I went there twice today. Called them up already. Called online support, they were more useless than the dirt on my tires.

When I went the manager said, we are selling the game. Because I asked him, as soon as i spotted it. Then when I went up to the cash register, he rang it up, went to go talk with some more mangaers, came back and said. We are sorry, we arent selling this game unless you buy an X-BOX. I was like wtf? First you say yes, now you say no. I left, came right back., with the price printed from the online store. They stood around, sniffed eachothers ass for a bit. It was kinda funny, they looked like a football team or something. Then said, we will only sell it at $99. I flicked them off and left. Called online support, got this japenese guy... You can already see where that went.

him: *mumbles crap i cant understand* find it instore
me: Sir they will not allow me to buy it in store, how can I get it in store if they I cannot buy it.
him: it is sold out online, *mumbles crap* sold out, *mumbles* price ....

Then I chatted with one of them. They basically typed the same bs over and over again. If you cant buy it online, then you cant buy it instore?

They had them in stock, the cashier kept doing a price check over and over like it was going to change, I knew I wasn't getting it the second she asked a fellow cashier and manager what to do. She came back with the promitional item line and that was that. Even took the rest of them off the floor. Couldn't bring myself to argue over a one cent game and just left.

shipwreck
04-13-2004, 03:38 PM
Here's a little tip for those getting shot down trying to purchase this combo for a penny in-store. The cashier is less likely to notice or say anything about the game only being a penny if you are buying something else as well. So just pick up something else if you are worried about being rejected by the cashier.

Actually, since it is 10% of the difference, and BB sells it for $69.99, they would owe you $6.99. I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

I knew calling was a big mistake . . . my CC has 5 in stock . . . but after I called (it's about an hour round trip and with the kids and all) the clerk checked with her manager and they don't know what to do . . . "thumbs up their asses."

They're saying that the district manager is coming to the store tomorrow . . . the pile of 5 games is being put in the manager's office . . . my name and number is on one of them.

I will make a pretty big stink if I don't get one. This is one of those things that can lead to me boycotting and bad-mouthing a store for years to come.

Personally, I do prefer Best Buy . . . but I've been less and less happy with them for the last 2 years.

Yea, you are about the only one that prefers BB over CC. In my case, the CC is 10x nicer than BB, and BB doesn't even do online price-matches, and the clerks there are nazis; they don't let you get away with any price match, even if it was an ad. CC on the other hand has the most careless and free-spirited employees; they won't argue; they see the price then that's the price they'll sell it to you, no questions asked. I am about over 75% sure that I'll be able to buy it today.

I hate my BB with a passion (even though my last couple purchases were from them).

On a side note, today I'll do quite a few price-matches, which I'm never too excited about, especially considering that it'll be for every item I'll buy. I will save over $40 on the three, so it'll be worth it, especially since I'll probably never see the employees again.

Went to the BB in Wilmington, DE off 202. The one at the Chrisiana Mall wouldn't price match. But I called the other CC and they were honoring it. Not only that, but they were ringing up for a penny at the register. Picked up 2 copies. One for myself and one as a future gift. They had five or six more copies in store as of 5:00. Didn't want to be greedy and buy them out. So, if you're in DE, go to the CC on 202 and pick up a copy. Please be nice and only buy a couple, not the whole store's supply.

I just got back from the CC on Rt 17 in Paramus, NJ. They had 14 copies left. I went up to buy one and the sales guy said "This can't be right I have to check this out." Proceeds to scan it over and over again. Then he asks a fellow employee about it. They then say I have to check with my manager. Goes off into dark room and gives his manager a BJ while the manager looks it over. I wait in the games section and out comes the employee saying "Its a no go." Tells me that this is supposed to be packaged with new XBOX's. I then show him the printed up copy of the CC website page showing the item being sold seperately for a penny. The employee then goes back to give his manager another BJ while they try to find a way out of this little predicament I put them in. I wait once again in the games section when the employee comes out and tells me its a no go again. Points out on the top right corner of the page just under availability check that it says this: "Game Titles are only available through our Online Store." That's when I gave-up. It just wasn't worth pursuing anymore. Can you believe that crap? They never gave me a prob back in January when I cleaned out all the preorder bonus crap and demos they had for a penny then. Amazing... BTW if anyone lives in the Paramus, NJ area go cleanout the Rt. 17 CC of Clone Wars/Tetris bundles. There are 14 left. I'm sure you'll have better luck cleaning out those games if you go to an employee away from the games area.

My CC was awesome about this deal. Told the clerk about it, she helped me look for a copy. Found one buried behind some other games, went to ring it up, said something along the lines of "free if you bought it with the Xbox". She scanned another barcode or entered the upc code manually, whatever it was, it came up as CLONE WARS/TETRISWOR ... 0.01.

im not sure if it would be even, given the potential hours of gametime u could put in to 2 games, for a guide, which i almost never use anyways, but still buy for my rpgs lol

i would have done it tho just cuz i want to hook up cags with some good deals

I was able to get one at the Circuit City near the Springfield Mall in Springfield, VA. My dad said he placed the printed ad on the counter and put a penny on top, but still the cashier didn't believe him. That is . . . until he scanned the game. I'm sure he was shocked to see a formerly $100 game pack cost $.01! My dad didn't go to the customer service counter, though, so he was probably lucky that he got it. If the manager got involved, I most likely wouldn't have the games right now.

Picked this up today for a penny at Circuit City. The manager was suprised the game/s were still out there because the employees usually buy them all up when games clearence like this.

I got the remainder from Oxford Valley PA. The manager actually was really cool about it. I told him they were selling on the website for a penny, and were sold out, called customer circus and they told me to check the store.

Also none in Lawrenceville, NJ.

Hmm... I got two. But I might as well check back at the CC tomorrow and see if there are any left. Highly unlikely but worth a look. And if there are, well, I gave others a chance to grab it.

04-14-2004, 05:59 PM
thats weird, I hope they just dont say that they shipped even though they haven't/

I only got one and it seems a lot of the ones that were cancelled bought more than 1, am I right? :?

We are going to have to launch a protest over this!

Circuit City is really pulling a fast one.

The manager at my local is saying that the games are promotional to be sold for a penny only with the purchase of an Xbox . . . total crap.

i went to my CC in NYC and they rang up a penny, so they told me i had to see the manager, i went to see the manager and they told me its not a penny because it has a 39.99 sticker on it. I was like "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, SOME OF THE GAMES UP THERE RING UP 30 PERCENT OFF, EVEN UR PLAT HITS FOR XBOX ARE MARKED MORE THEN 20." they refused to sell it to me. So i left went back the next morn to find out they took all copys and hid it in the back. IM SO PISSED OFF.

I think the 2 months free of Xbox Live offer expired as of 3/31/04. You could still give it a shot to see if the code still get accepted.

I went to my CC today and they told me they were sold out of them. It sucks cause it's a pretty far ride to get there and gas is almost 2 dollars a gallon. What a waste of time and gas.

I was amazed that I was able to pick up a copy this evening. I thought for sure they would have been all gone or pulled from the shelf.

They would only limit me to 4 copies yesterday, but also said I could pick up more on my next visit. I only needed 4 anyway for a lan party coming up, but they did have 10 or so left around 2pm.

This is the Staten Island CC btw.

if ne one cares, Gamestop B&M gives $2 a piece for this game, and they except multiple copies. I was planning on buying a few to trade in to get one of their $10 games :)

That would be a huge waste, you could probably stand outside gamestop and sell it to someone for at least 5.

I got mine in the mail :) it wasn't in the plastic but has the seal on it. I dont even think they charged me because I didn't get any bill or something with it.

I think if they charged my credit card 1 cent they would have to pay more fees themself, lol.

I went to two Circuit Citys. One had about twenty out on the shelf, all with $.01 price stickers on them. When I tried to buy one, the cashier said I had to buy an XBox to get it (that was probably why there were so many still on the shelves).

At the other Circuit City I managed to pick up one no problem. It was marked $39.99 and the cashier didn't pay it any mind.

That is really a waste you could get at least $5 a piece probably even $7 just asking people on the street.

I got two last Tuesday. Had already given them to friends. I expected them to be gone today when I went into the CC on 202 in Wilmington DE. The funny thing, The same six copies that were there on tuesday were still there today!

No one had bought any. I picked up three more thinking that I had given others plenty of time to get more. There are three left. Two have the green "promotion only" tag and should ring up at 1 cent. They're in the middle row in the middle of the xbox games display. There is also one non promotional copy on the lower rack that will probably ring up at $40. But you can probably talk a manager into lowering the price since the other copies ate 1 penny.

The funny thing is that the real reason I went to 202 was to hit the Best Buy across the street from CC for Boktai. (They were sold out :() But they had fifteen copies of the tetris/clone wars promo combo and they were selling it for $70! What a joke!
