Also, they are selling the final episode of friends before its on tv? Not that I care mind you, its for my uh, wife...

Depending on how low your tax rate is, you might be better off getting it for $51 shipped (no tax) at DDD (http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=PRD156474).
XIII ten bucks? Sweet! Glad I didn't get it for 15 with the GGC.

XIII and Sphinx sounds like a good deal. I'll probably stop by CC this week and buy them both and get the 110% difference next week just to make sure that they dont sell out next week.

you get a 110% of the difference from CC if you take in a receipt after an item price-drops?
ie, if XIII is $20 this week and you went back on Sunday w/ the receipt, you'd pay $9 instead of $10, just b/c you bought it this week?
or am I misunderstanding something...?
KrazyKefka
05-04-2004, 02:43 PM
Nothing particularly catches my eye, though the XIII deal is rather tempting. I still need to go out to CC this week so I can hopefully pick up F-Zero for $15.
Thanks for the post trustcompany1013.

answered my own question using CC's website:
Circuit City's Price Match Plus Guarantees
Online Price Match Plus Guarantee
Nothing's worse than paying too much. That's why we do everything in our power to make sure you don't pay a penny more than you should for anything you buy at Circuit City. If you've seen a lower advertised price from a local store with the same item in stock, we want to know about it. Bring it to our attention, and we'll gladly beat their price by 10% of the difference. Even after your Circuit City purchase, if you see a lower advertised price (including our own sale prices) within 30 days, we'll refund 110% of the difference.

Nope, that's exactly how it works. I did it this week for F-Zero GX. Bought it for 34.99 before the sale, brought it in on Sunday, asked for a 110% PM, they credited me back $22.

Same here, the last time I did this was when Beyond Good & Evil was on sale for $10. I brought both the game and the reciept but the clerk said that all he needed was the reciept and he gave me the 10% difference.

Well, it's one thing when someone has loads of $50 games unopened on their shelf. That's just nutty. But, when you try to hunt games down for cheap like any honest-to-goodness CAG, you know you have to buy it when you see it - or you'll never see it again. So, I wouldn't doubt that a lot of us have so many unopened/unplayed games. Personally, I lost track of what I've opened/played once I started keeping my games in CD folders.
And, woo-hoo... My tax return got here just in time. Was looking to pick up an AIW Radeon 9600, but may have to pass on it if CC has lots of goodies on clearance next week.

I've got 60+ unplayed games. Why don't you guys open your games? I always open my stuff right when i get it, and thumb through the manual. For all you know, you could open up one of your games and find a scratched up CDR and some folded pieces of notebook paper in place of a manual! It's been reported on these boards like 4 times this year!

Why spend all that money if you aren't even going to open them? Maybe 3-4 games on the "backburner" is okay, but 74 games?
Even if you were rich, or had a decent enough job to where you could afford the games, what's the point? I buy games to play them, not to watch them pile up and then brag about how big my stack is on a message board.

The only thing sad about having a lot of games that you haven't played yet....is that their is not enough time in the day to get to 'em as fast as you'd like. People dont just buy games for bragging rights...and not play them. I have a crap load of games that I haven't gotten to yet...and why? Because I either got a really good deal on the game(s) and couldn't pass it up...or the game(s) is/are becoming rare, and regardless of me having the time to play it now or not, I wanted it before it became impossible to find (or too expensive) in the future for when I do have time to play it.

the problem is whether or not you'll ever have enough time to play them all! I recently bought an XBox, now I have upwards of 30 games, mostly from the $3-$10 EB and $10 Best Buy sales. I bought Ninja Gaiden as well, and since I haven't beaten that yet, I've played one or two of the other games, but only for a few minutes.
between work and the rest of my life, I don't feel there's that much time for videogames. but I know I'll have something to do when I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of winter :D

I bought most of the games when I had time to play them, but now I work 80 hours a week, so I'll never get to play them. I wasn't bragging--just commiserating with the Admiral. And yes, I do make good money (I'd better, given my hours). Those 74 games cost less than two days' salary. So don't sweat it.

Well, I've already got about 12 games in my never-been-played-yet stack anyway. Might as well make it XIII... :-)
Man, you have be beat I think I only have 7 games unopened at the moment right now.
I have 50 or so.
And I'm not joking.
I have 44 unopened current-generation games, about 10 more for PS1, 30 for PC/Mac (that I'll never play), and well over 100 opened but unplayed games over all consoles...
That's pretty sad....You obviously love to spend money.
Why spend all that money if you aren't even going to open them? Maybe 3-4 games on the "backburner" is okay, but 74 games?

Well I'm glad you're so comfortable with it. Why not celebrate by buying a few games on your lunch break?

I also have a ton of games I haven't played. I tend to buy a lot of used games so, with at least half my games, even though I haven't played them, they are open. I have about 70 PS2 games, 10 Gamecube games and about 50 PSX games. I've only beaten a few of those so far.
As for why I have all those games that I'll more than likely never get to play for long, let alone beat, it's because of the cheap-ass thing. If I see a good price for something, I'll pick it up. It's better to have it and not play it but at least have it should I want to play it later on than decide later on that I want to play it and not have it (and possibly not find it for a cheap price).
Also, I'm not always in the mood for a certain game. I switch around between games a lot. This way, I have a game for whatever mood I'm in.
My brother - now he's a different story. He picks up games for the cheap-ass reason but also because he's a collector. At one point, he had more PS2 games than I did and he doesn't even have a PS2. Yet between school and work, he never has time to play them.
Neither of us buy the games to brag about them (that would be pretty stupid).

between work and the rest of my life, I don't feel there's that much time for videogames. but I know I'll have something to do when I'm bored on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of winter :D
Yup, I remembered getting snowed in 2 years ago during a blizzard and Guilty Gear X2 was the only thing that kepted all of us sane for 3 days before we could dig ourselves out. I have a lot of games I haven't gotten to yet that's because I saw them for cheap here on CAG. Sometime you can't pass up a good bargain, for instance XIII for $9.99. I don't think you will be ever able to find it cheaper new. It's probably going to be a $19.99 title while they keep producing it. I got Beyond Good and Evil for $9.99 and even though I haven't played it yet I'm glad I picked it up because it's now back to $19.99 and Best Buy doesn't keep in stock anymore (no ggc).

that can be said for most of the games I've got now. I picked them up so I wouldn't have to spend more in the future, though I only buy games I'm pretty sure I'll like. I don't want to end up w/ a bunch of stuff I don't want to play.
I was able to find BG & E at BB when it originally dropped to $20, so I picked it up for $15. the game is terrific, great story, lots of fun to play. unfortunately I haven't made it all the way through yet, as I'm in the middle of Ninja Gaiden, but I'll get there eventually. if you want a fun game w/ a great story, give it a shot ;)

Anyone who works for CC have any idea about the 20-30% off. Like, are certain games nationwide 20-30% off or is it different at each store and yymv? Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Just call your local CC Videogames department then ask them "Do they have 20 %-30% off List". If they did you can come in then look at the list w/o any problem :)

Here's a thought on how to get XIII for free:
Go to CC today with a printout of the current Staples $10 off $20 coupon, buy XIII with it so you get it for $10. Then take your receipt back after the 9th and have them adjust the original price to $10 so after that coupon you get it for free.
My closest CC is 30 min away and I was just there last night or else I'd try it myself.

XIII is a fun game. I picked it up after the GGC for $14.99. Its a steal at $9.99, but I have no regrets paying more. It was worth it.

GGC: http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1440
to use the Staples coupon at Circuit City, your CC would have to accept competitor's coupons, so YMMV. if your CC does accept them, find the Staples coupon and try to apply it toward the XIII purchase. then tomorrow, go back to CC and get the remainder of the game price back from CC, which is the price difference between the original price ($20) and the new price ($10).
thing is, it's already Sat night, and all CC's are closed. so unless you can get them to honor last week's price on XIII tomorrow and let you use the Staples coupon, THEN go and match it for the sale price, you'd get it. at this point, that's highly unlikely.

All CCs accept all competitor coupons(except maybe some mom 'n pop store or a coupon with strange restrictions).
If your CC doesn't you're not trying hard enough.
Sometimes I have to point out that it is their coporate policy to accept all coupons, or ask for a manager, but I have used BB coupons at 5 or more CCs in 3 different states.

oh, why thank you for letting me know :roll:
I was rejected at my CC trying to use the GGC, then asked to speak with a manager. the manager proceeded to tell me I could not use the coupon, and despite my best efforts, I have NOT found this in their store policy.
maybe out of the X number of CC stores across the country, every one you visited allowed this. this does not mean it's valid at every store.
find me where CC's store policy states they allow all competitor coupons, then I'll go back and try harder.

Sorry Wax, you're the first person I've found who has actually really tried and been rejected.
I have been told by store managers that it is corporate policy (when the confused cashier sometimes calls them over) but I have never seen it in writing.
Sorry for your loss, but if I were you I'd try at different CCs or with different cashiers/managers.

if there were more CC's w/in a reasonable driving distance, I definitely would try it at other stores. unfortunately, that's not the case. if I ever find the part of the store policy that states they must allow competitor coupons, I'll photocopy it and carry it around w/ me :D

Yeah honestly it's pretty lame. I asked mine, they said "Oh we always have em, right here in the clearance bin." I asked about anything new, she said no. Then she went on to mention how great this deal for XIII was. Okay.. Maybe that's why I brought iit to the counter to buy it?
This was in the Cucamonga, CA CC, about 30 mins after opening, and they had plenty of all. Actually had Disgaea, which wasn't there before. Shoulda scanned it =p

Those prices should have expired on Saturday. But you may have lucked out and your CC not change the label yets. They have to honor labeled prices.
