Best Buy Northridge Store (Milwaukee) had 8 Guitar Hero II Packs for $20.99 each Xbox 360 this morning.

[deletion]

shopko green bay had tons of Fable for 7.99. and west side kmart had two pink 360 controllers left for 12 bucks each.

[heyman]

[munn3yxiong]

Worms 2
Dirty Dancing (for the wife...)
maybe GW EotN

I heard that the pc games might be limited.... which stinks.

[heyman]

Yeah, I'm from milwaukee. Got xbox 360?

If so, my gt is mrchingher

[xycury]

If anyone is looking for a gamecube and controller, there are 3 boxed for 24.98 clearence... it's like the back endcap about 3 rows away from electronics going into like other crap electronics...VERY BOTTOM shelf... had to like bend over and on my knees to see the others back in there...

This is in the Target west side, Mineral Pt Rd in Madison.

I snagged one, just in case, there is I think 3 left, 1 of them looks like it used to be a soccer ball in another life.

I used the 5 off 25 target coupon... can't been a new cube and controller for 20.

I thought of snaggin one and selling it, but ebay is crap now.

[WiiNet]

I saw those a while ago for $50, can't think of why I'd need one though...

picked up timeshift today SEALED! I might go back tomorrow and pick up House of the Dead. I rarely use the wii, so i'm a little hesitant, still got No more heroes that i haven't even played yet.

[heybtbm]

Before everyone rushes off to Target to buy the $25 Gamecubes, it should be noted that these are the redesigned models (DOL-101) without a component jack on the back. If you don't have Gamecube component cables (they are hard to find and expensive), this isn't really a big deal.

For the rest of us who care about such things, buyer beware (or just play your Gamecube games on the Wii with component hook-ups). However, one thing you can't do with the Wii is use your Gameboy Player. Not many people know that all GBA games are 480p when using the 1st model GC and component cables. It really makes a difference on an HDTV.

When Nintendo announced that they were discontinuing the older "progressive scan" GC's (DOL-001), I bought a back up GC to keep when my original finally bites it. I managed to find a stash of them at Circuit City on the Eastside (Madison). This was sometime during the summer of 2005. Preplayed still has some DOL-001's for those that are interested.

[psunami]

Quite a few new clearance games at the SuperTarget. Heavenly Sword ($41) American Idol Karaoke Revolution - 360 ($20something)

I might have picked up a few, but I didn't have any coupons on me.

[deletion]

munn3y...the controllers are gone man. these things go quick. i'll keep an eye out for you though. we've got another kmart on the east side i can check out.

[WiiNet]

West Target and Super West Target had tons of Guitar Hero I and II games for PS2 for $20 on clearance. Super mostly had I, regular mostly had II.

EDIT: Game only for each.

[mcelfour]

West Target and Super West Target had tons of Guitar Hero I and II games for PS2 for $20 on clearance. Super mostly had I, regular mostly had II.

Are these game only, or do they include guitar controller? I never have gotten in on GH or the like...but perhaps for $20...

[WiiNet]

Sorry--game only... meant to say that...




More...
Anyone know of a super cheap place to get an LCD in Madison or Milwaukee? I don't need anything fancy, 15" or bigger, preferably a nice brand. Can be used or new but I don't want to spend more than $75.

[ryanflucas]

This is a super huge YMMV.

I went to the Northridge Best Buy this afternoon in Milwaukee. While looking at the table in the front of the store (double yellow stickers at 50% off) an employee came up to me and said "I can give you everything on this table for $100". I only saw 1 item I wanted (Halo 3 guide) but he seemed totally serious, like they wanted to move it all asap.

I didn't see anything pressing but I did see: Vinyl Ninja Wall Scrolls, Family Guy DVD Trivia Games, a stack of Halo 3 guides, some PS3 racing games, a few sub $20 Xbox 360 games, and a few others.

If your in the area, drop by and ask about it. Might be good trade fodder. I should have got the employees name but he was a black man and if they were to ask, I was a 6'8" white guy (slightly balding) wearing a green & white pinstripe polo and black shorts. I was in there around 4pm.

[WiiNet]

GH2 PS2 game only down to $10 at West Towne Target.

[HatchbackMustang]

[Derrick1979]

I frequent that store also because I live around the NW side and there is really nothing good on that table and it was the table you mentioned.

If your into the penny guides they have some nintendo brand pokemon revolution guides and a bunch of Dark Sector guides.

[Wazootyman]

The Super Target in Fitchburg has a $5 copy of Viva Pinata if anyone is interested (I snapped up the other one)

[psunami]

Just to let people know, the copy of Viva is gone. Not much else there. NCAA 08 for the 360, NBA Ballers, and a few PS2 games.

[tbrock182]

I was at the Toys r Us in Appleton (by the Fox River Mall) yesterday, and they are offering a free Brett Favre McFarlane figure (they told me it was the 2008 Wave 1 figure) if you pre-order Madden 09 on any system. Good deal if you aren't too pissed about this whole Favre/Packers situation.

[Plat]

Speaking of Toys R Us, I was at the Green Bay one today. They still have, among other games, for $8 after 20% discount:

~1 Geometry Wars DS
~2 Contra 4 DS
~3 Master of Illusion DS
~4 Zack & Wiki (Wii)
~1 Dancing w/the Stars (w/dance pad) (PS2)

[WiiNet]

Anyone know what West Towne Madison TRU has for clearance? (mostly looking for Wii)

[psunami]

I didn't see much for the Wii other than Splinter Cell.

They have the annoying habit of leaving the display cases in the glass case, making you think there are more titles than there are.

[heybtbm]

It's less to do with an "annoying habit", and more to do with general laziness. They have some winners working there, let me tell you. Wow.

[Mattte]

So wheres some good places on the West side of Madison, moving down the by Super Target on PD this weekend.

[psunami]

Good places for what in particular?

Food? Cheap Games? Good Beer?

Way open ended question there. heh.

[sigmano9]

has anyone in wi seen any of these kmart entertainment guides? i looked at the kmart on hwy 100 near burleigh on wed and didnt see any. i'm trying to get the $10 off coupon for resistance so i can get it for $20.

I think your more likely to find elderly people passed away in the Burleigh store than anything you might be looking for.

You may want to check out the one in Brookfield on Bluemound Rd. they may have what your looking for.

[mcelfour]

Any deals in the Madison area on wireless PS2 controllers? I just saw that those psyclone tilt controllers (at least some) are wireless. Anybody seen those lately??

Thanks in advance.

[Plat]

No idea about Madison area. The Psyclone Tiltsense controllers were at Green Bay Goodwill a while back (near Christmas?) for ~$4. I ended up returning it because it took AAA batteries.

[WiiNet]

Haven't been looking for PS2 controllers, but Shopko seems to have out of date stuff quite a lot.



Anywhere on the west side of Madison to pick up a complete SSBB for Wii below, say, $30/35?

Thanks!

[Wazootyman]

I was at the Monroe Wal-Mart over lunch around 11:30 and they had at least 2 Wii Fits there--I purchased one of them.

[psunami]

Wazooty, is the Shopko down there pretty picked over for clearance games?

[Wazootyman]

I've never seen anything fabulous as far as clearance games down there. I think most 360 games were about $20 when they went on clearance--can probably find them cheaper elsewhere.

However, when Shopko holds their clearances, it's a great time to go there. Weeks after the sale started up, I was able to get there and grab my top games, and there were multiple copies remaining.

Edit-wow, I just realized how confusing my post must have been. I thought you asked about Wal-Mart clearance. Silly me, but as you might have ascertained, the Shopko clearance is picked over as of right now. The 360 games are Blitz and some other not good games for $20. The DS has movie tie in games (not sure off the top of my head which ones) for $10

[deletion]

anyone in milwaukee, i went to the toys r us in green bay today and all clearance games were gone. they told me they shipped them down to the toys r us in milwaukee.

[Plat]

So that's where they went, weird.

[xplocvo]

East Madison Wal-Mart dropped the price on their Wii Points cards / classic controller glove combos, down to $10 now. There were about 10 left on Saturday after I picked up a few.

[psunami]

Damn. Need to grab a few of those points cards.

Thanks for the info.

1 copy of Scene It for $24.97 at Sears East Madison.

[EvyLou]

2 Wiis at the Kmart on South 27th St. if anyone is interested........sitting all lonely at the bottom of the case.

[ma]

If anybody in Madison sees a MGS4 PS3 pack, I'd appreciate a PM or a message here. I realize this ship has probably sailed, but if I see one before 9/7, I'm grabbing it. Otherwise, hello 360.

Never mind, on-line locator FTW.

[psunami]

Picked up 4 of those point cards at Walmart in Madison for $10. Nice to get more cheap Wii points.

They had classic controllers there as well, I didn't check on the price for them, but $10 would be a pretty good deal for those as well.

Were there any left? I was planning on stopping by after school. (I'm assuming you're talking about the East side one)

[psunami]

I left two there (Wii points cards, that is.) The two I left... I couldn't really see the cards in the packages.

Classic controllers, there had to be close to 10. I didn't check the price on them though.

And yes, that's the East side store.

I thought, but am not positive, that the shelf tag for the classic controllers still said $20. But if someone is going there anyway and could confirm that would be great. I may want another one if they are only $10.

Yeah, they showed $20 for me as well, and I saw the two points card boxes but there were no cards in them. Couldn't find a price checker thing so I didn't check out the controllers.

To: The bloke missing disc 2 of Final Fantasy VII (PSX)

Green Bay's east-side Goodwill is selling a Playstation console for $5.99 with your disc in it. It's a little worn but probably nothing that resurfacing can't fix.

[psunami]

Picked up the last copy of Dirt for the 360 yesterday at the East Madison Shopko for $9.99.

They still had copies of Fear Files for the 360 and NBA Street Homecourt for the 360 for $7.49.
Also, FEAR for the PS3 for $9.99

Is Fear Files more of an update for the multiplayer portion or the game or does it add to the single player also?

[psunami]

From what I read, FEAR Files are two expansions for FEAR that are on their own separate disc.

Most of the time you would know I was looking for that item and possibly sell it to me :lol:

Im excited about the outlying area one but im sure these new locations are not going to be instantly stocked with clearance items.

[psunami]

I thought that the new Target locations wouldn't have much for Clearance for a while... but when the new store was built in Fitchburg, they had great clearance deals within a week or two.

Sometimes they get really old items when the store opens up.

I guess it would be cheaper to send stock piles of crap from the warehouse to the new stores so they dont have to buy new stock.Well the store im looking at opens the day before I get married so maybe a week or so after it opens I may be able to take a drive to it...

[Terrenceistheman]

if anyone is looking.. the East Towne Best Buy in Madison, Wi had about a dozen Wiis and maybe 10 or so Wii Fits tonight. I was there around 8pm and they close @ 9 so they should still have plenty when they open in the morning. Picked up a Wii fit and used that $10 off games $75 or higher

[Derrick1979]

Target in Menomonee Falls,WI had 3 Wii fits if anyone in the area is looking for them..

[mcelfour]

Madison West side Target has a decent amount of clearance....PS2 singstar bundles $19.xx, Prince Caspian DS $7.48, lots of crappy jewel case PC games and some alright ones too...

I don't remember. Lots of stuff.

[psunami]

I was just out at the West Target as well. They still have a Madden 08 Collectors for the PS3 for $44.98 as well.

I'm waiting for those Singstar bundles to go to 75% before I bite on those.

[Terrenceistheman]

the guitar center in brookfield had the 360 version of rock band for $99 yesterday

[Derrick1979]

The Best Buy on MayFair Rd in Milwaukee Had 8 Wii's in stock as of last night before close.

wondering if any of you guys ever gone to shopko in delavan, just wondering if its worth the trip... only 25 miles from me...

[ospriteo]

I was in Oshkosh, WI for work earlier this week. The Sears Grand had two copies of Scene It for 24.99 and the Target had one copy left for 29.98. The Shopko there had very little.

[shadowkast]

wondering if any of you guys ever gone to shopko in delavan, just wondering if its worth the trip... only 25 miles from me...
no not at all, I live here in delevan and check it out out about twice a month and never anything . I've been to the shopko in janesville and the delavan store seems to be half as big, at least.

[Trakan]

If anybody spots a Lost Odyssey on clearance at Target at the ~$15 price in the Oak Creek/Milwaukee/Racine area, a post in this thread would be much appreciated.

[psunami]

I've stopped at the Watertown and Monroe Shopko locations over the last week and found that they're pretty much cleaned out.

[WiiNet]

Hi all--I have a few GameStop coupons sitting around that expire at the end of the month. Thought I'd offer them up (and maybe even get a little something in return). The catch: can only be used at State Street (Madison), West Towne (Madison), Paradise (West Bend)--and a few locations in neighboring states.

One sheet includes 10% off any new game, 50% extra trade in, $30 extra system trade in. PM me if you're interested. Expires 10/31.

If anyone is looking for a PS3 80 GB, this is a great price!! I wish I had disposable income...

[Mattte]

Might as well post this here...my friend has around 800 records (about 50 45's) he is looking to sell for around $1 a piece of 50 cents a piece if you buy a lot of them.

If anyone is actually interested, PM me your email and I'll have him send you the entire list.

[psunami]

Just to resurrect this thread from the dead...

Target in Madison both West Side and Fitchburg have the Xbox 360 Wireless wheel (kind of a misnomer since it has to be plugged in for power.... but anywho) for $69.98 (30% off)

They also both have the 120GB 360 HD for $120 something.

Saw Pure for the PS3 for $29.98 at the West Side Target as well.

Thanks psunami.. that wheel is money if anyone is into driving game.
One clarifier, it only needs to be plugged in if you want vibration/forcefeedback.. otherwise it does work on a standard battery pack too

[psunami]

Ah. Good to know about the FF and Vibration.

[RoGo7]

The Grafton Best Buy has Gods of War, Football, & Daxter PSP bundles for $179.99. Just thought I would mention. Since the 3000 has so many issues.

[fart_bubble]

If anybody spots a Lost Odyssey on clearance at Target at the ~$15 price in the Oak Creek/Milwaukee/Racine area, a post in this thread would be much appreciated.

Wish I looked in here more than I do but you missed out at the new Target down here in Kenosha a couple of weeks ago. $9.98 and they had about 5 copies.

[Trakan]

if you dont have a copy yet, final fantasy tactics WoTL for the psp is $13.98 at the target by former northridge

[fart_bubble]

fuck, there are a shitload of copies of that at the Target in Kenosha at that price. Really makes me wish that I owned a PSP.

Also, has anyone seen Pure down to below $30 here in the state? I always see it at the $41.96 price

[Chambered]

Pawn America stores (at least, the one in Onalaska) will often get some pretty decent deals on games.

Just be sure you check through their entire collection, they'll often have the same game marked at different prices.

does anyone know if this sears has any good deals? i've never really thought about it for getting some of the sears clearances

[WiiNet]

Anyone know if any stores (preferably Gamestop) are selling used Wii Rock Band guitars? I'm looking in Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay.

Thanks.

[jer7583]

Hey, people post here?

The local target on hwy 100 and National is no good for clearances.. nothing seems to ever go below $15. I think they give a lot of it to the local goodwill on Oklahoma.

[psunami]

I have to stop at Gamestop in Madison tomorrow WiiNet, I'll take a look and see if they have a Wii Guitar then.

[Derrick1979]

does anyone know if this sears has any good deals? i've never really thought about it for getting some of the sears clearances

That place is so hit and miss and pretty much has been gutted for months, if you get anything there you pretty much have to get there at store open when you know when it drops..

I would say unless your at the right places at the right times Milwaukee in a whole and close areas are picked clean.

[dkreegz515]

agreed... when i go up north on black friday im gonna stop at the local k-mart... its in the middle of no where, hopefully find something

[psunami]

Damn work was too busy. Hoping to hit the store on Saturday or Sunday.

[ducttapeBigSexy]

I was just at the Big Lots in West Allis (the one at the corner of Highway 100 and Oklahoma Ave.) - they had Guitar Hero III PS2 bundles for $50. Didn't look too close at it, but I believe they had about 8 - 10 left or so.

[f4t4lfury]

FYI for La Crosse/Onalaska:

Kohl's has some good, albeit limited, clearance right now. I picked up Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (DS) for $8. There were some $10 Wii and PS2 games there as well.

Target clearance has sucked this whole month, so I wouldn't bother there. What happened to their sweet clearance endcaps?

Toys R Us has a handful of $10 PS2 games (ex. DDR Supernova 2 for $10).

GameStop in the mall has Tokobot Plus (PS2) brand new in stock right now for $10. :shock: As usual, they still have crap for used game selection.

Anybody live on the south side of La Crosse? Anything good over there at ShopKo, Kmart, or Walmart??

[Chambered]

La Crosse/Onalaska

The KMart is pretty much always terrible. I live about a minute or two away from it and stop in every now and then; the only game I've ever bought there was Guitar Hero 3 w/ Guitar. Every store was sold out, but Kmart actually had a stack, still.

The South Side Walmart is pretty much the same as every Walmart in the area. They're a number of cents cheaper on games and the like, but it's rare that they actually have a good deal.

I've gotten lucky in the past with the Shopko, every now and then you can find a decent deal on a clearance game. I haven't been down there in a couple of weeks, I'll try to check them out in the next couple of days.

[Chambered]

I don't know if this is valid at all Pawn Americas, or just the one in Onalaska, but, they're currently at 35% off everything in the store. All DVDs are also just $2.99.

I picked up a 40GB PS3 for only $220, so not a bad deal if you don't mind used items...

(And it came with an HDMI cable, so that was another $50 saved, but that was just a lucky find; the guy left it in the box...)

Score! Good work. I'm guessing since its not posted anywhere else, this is YMMV. But regardless, nice score.

[f4t4lfury]

Found Shining Force Exa (PS2) at ShopKo, Onalaska for $3.99. It was marked as $9.99 but rang up cheaper. It was on the shelf of "clearance" (not always true) items in the game section. Haven't tried with any other games, but it's possible more games might ring up cheaper. Even without extra discount, there were some okay prices there (incl. DS: $20 Magical Starsign, Lost in Blue).

WOW... no activity since last year...

Yeah either the WI CAG are getting tight lipped or there just is nothing to get excited about. As far as CC is concerned around me they are still at 10% off store wide with few exceptions on certain items :roll:

[bjschre]

I bought the last HD DVD addon for the 360 at Shopko in Grafton for $4.99. Most likely a huge YMMV.

was hoping to find someone commenting on the CC liquidation in Madison, WI.

I was in the east side CC in Madison on Wednesday, nothing too special looking. Not sure if things were just slow moving there. I'm checking the one on the west side today.

[jackos1]

The two cc stores around Milwaukee only had 10% off everything, needless to say the stores are still fully stocked.

Your talking about the S. 76th St one and brookfield locations?

[sunbound]

Yeah, the one over here on the east side, nothing changed. they got more stuff in though. I snagged the CE for fallout 3 for $54.

Its sad cause thats the store i waited in line at to get my 360....


memories... :-({|=

[DukeSoccer]

Anyone know if the CC on 76th or Brookfield has the ms point/live cards for cheap? They were all 10% when I went last week, but people are saying they are really cheaper than that, can anyone confirm?

[jackos1]

Your talking about the S. 76th St one and brookfield locations?

yes, cds/dvds/bluray were 20% off. Everything else games/laptops/stereos/tvs etc was all 10%. I was hoping to pick up some live points but at only 10% off it's not much of a deal, i went there on Thursday 1/22.

I stopped in on Thursday. I agree, nothing special.
I hate it when store's put clearance games in bins. They have two bins with games as low as $4.99, but it'd probably take someone a good 1/2 hour to thoroughly dig through both of them. Not worth it though. I doubt there's anything of value in there.
I give up on CC. Like I've read elsewhere, there probably won't be any good deals until the last few weeks, and by then everything will probably be gone.

[heybtbm]

That about sums it up.

It's a sad time for Madison gamers. CC was the place to get cheap games. Over the years I picked up probably 100 or so $16.96 (or less) clearance games. I'll miss that monthly CC clearance list here at CAG.

How are Preplayed (West) deals on TV on DVD? I've never been there...

They're OK. It seems the big box stores (Target, Walmart and Best Buy specifically) have been blowing out TV season DVD sets like crazy recently.

Even so, I've picked up quite a few used sets at PrePlayed (West) over the years. Mainly the Adult Swim shows which are usually cheaper than buying them new. Stuff like Simpsons or Family Guy are way overpriced at PrePlayed IMO (usually $29.99 per season). You're better off waiting for sales at the big box stores (and they're new).

[ryanflucas]

Any of you guys buying the cheapo 75% off (85%w/edge) gameboy original & color games from Gamestop? I've drove out to almost all the stores in the Milwaukee metro area and bought a few stores out that had low stock. I know that the Gamestop by the intersection of Pt. Washington Rd & Brown Deer Rd (Bayside) still has 2 pages worth. Mostly kiddie\Disney games though.

I have rental property up in Sheboygan I manage so I may drop by the Sheboygan & Sheboygan Falls locations and see if they have anything.

you might want to try the sheboygan area. i stopped there a few months ago and picked up Blu Rays for cheap and did take a look at the GB Games.

On another note EAst Town mall green bay radioshack has gtaIV (360) for 11.97 and ninja gaiden (360) for 14.97

i agree. cc was the best place for deals. best buy was across from our CC and i'd usually check prices there and price match at CC.

[kingcrono1]

The best deal that I had seen at circuit city liquidation was a friend got the orange box for $20. He has crazy luck with stuff like that. Like 5 or 6 years ago he found symphony of the night for $10 at a Fleet Farm.

[Chambered]

Toys'R'Us in Onalaska / La Crosse area has the Orange Box on PS3 at $10 right now. I'm going down there tomorrow with a couple of $5 gift cards to pick one up...

Orange box should be universal at 19.99. not sure if that's a good deal, but it's a great game at that price anyhow. TRU is you're lucky, you can find it for 9.xx.

During the fall of 2004, I found 5 copies of Symphony of the Night (Greatest Hits) at Blockbuster in Oshkosh. They were all marked $10. I already had a copy for myself so I passed. Just think of how much those would've gone for on ebay a year to two later...ugh.

[sunbound]

Stopped by the east side, madison store. Percentage jumped a little

A few things where still 10%, like laptops
Games had jumped to 20%
game accessories up to 30%
tv's where 20% (i think)
dvd/cd's/etc where 25% (i think)

[sigmano9]

on saturday shopko in west bend had 3 copies of ninja gaiden sigma for $20 if anybody is interested. its on the shelf that is two ailse to the left of the video game section on the north end. they have a bunch of other clearance games there too but i dont remember what they were.

Should be a good CAG and compile a small list,some of us may be interested in something and would be very gratefull

any of you guys in SE WI... just wondering how the Circuit Cities are doing with their discounts right now.... stopping by one of them friday no matter what...

I think we're stopping Saturday, woudl be nice if they had 30% off games or something.

The store was pretty sad anyways... so doesn't surprise me if they don't have anything.

CC in Brookfield today had games at 30% off, strategy guides were 40% off, LCD tvs were 20% and Plasmas were 25% off.

[lilwiggum]

Stopped by CC at East Madison:
Games now 30% off.
Consoles are 20% off.
DVDs were 30% off.
Laptops still looked like 10% off.

next time i'm up there i'll take notes

[Mid Boss]

What about Blu Rays? Are they more then 25% now?

30% from what I saw. I was mainly checking out the TVs so I couldn't tell you if there was anything decent or not though.

[jackos1]

stopped by both circuit city's today in southeastern wi (76th & bluemound) 40% off all games, and 30% off accessories. Tv's 20-25%. Store on bluemound still fully stocked with items. Also anyone know what stores have mario kart wii instock can't find one anywhere...

[bjkrautk]

Thanks guys for the percentages, but what games are available? (I posted some notes on the inventory for the GB store in the main CC liquidation thread after I went last weekend.)

I'm going to be in Southeast WI this weekend, and I'd love to find a copy of Uncharted (since Sony refuses to drop the price) or an extra Dual Shock 3 at one of the CCs.

[xycury]

So is everyone not reporting the West side CC because it sucks so bad ? :P

I'm not hopefull that they will have alot... they always sucked.

[mcelfour]

just to give ya the heads up, a couple weeks ago i was at the southridge circuit city in milw. and they were all out of dualshock 3

[mancow]

Ok, so I posted this in the main thread but just thought that I might add it here.
In the LaCrosse Walmart (i.e. southside) the area that must have used to contain the EA Sports games was filled with $10 games. The only ones I remember were:

Zack & Wiki (Wii)
Teenage Zombies (DS)
Ape Escape 3 (PS2)

I don't visit that Walmart often, so I'm not sure how long things will last.
BTW, I saw these things Feb 11th.

[deletion]

Green bay CC was a bust today. most games were gone, only the crappiest titles left at 40%, but still not worth it at all. West side target did have mercs 2 (PS3) for 9.98. i'd say about like 5 copies left.

[aeri]

Dont bother with Kmart @ East Town Mall, game selection was horrible. GB games has prices on games [for those who dont know] that are about 3-5 dollars cheaper than Amazon on shipped games. Recently picked up Lenneth & Radiant Dawn there for 18.99 each.

Preplayed also has some okay stuff, I think I saw FE there for 28.99? Not too bad, didn't pick it up though.

Blockbuster East has Super Mario Galaxy (3 copies last time I checked) for 25 each if anyone wants them, very bad PS2 selection though. And Hollywood Video's bargain bin (The one by where the old best buy is, and where linen's & things was) had a lot of 3.99 PS2/GC/Xbox games. I got Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, MP: Echoes, Kirbys Air Ride and a few others there.

Hmm anything else I can think of? Nope :)

Yup! I am. That was 2 weeks ago last time I checked, but I don't see them going out anytime soon.

just scored 8 gameboy players for the cube for 17 each,, and i thought they wouldn't have anything,, it's funny what stores find in their back rooms when they're shutting down

What areas in Milwaukee are you looking? The NW side is pretty dry and has been that way for months now.

[phattyphat69]

Just wondering if anyone here has visited the Play N Trade in Hartford yet? Looking for some good stores to pick up retro games (especially NES, SNES, GBC/GBA) and I'm not sure if the 40 minute drive is worth it.

Anyone PM BB RE5 for $40?

[theironunkind]

didnt pm, but i got the gift card at BB in janesville. funny thing is they didnt ring the GC up, so i could just return the game and keep the $20. fun game tho, co-op at least.

[Derrick1979]

Got shot down trying to match the TRU deal but had $15 in RZ cert. so $44.99 is not bad for RE5

I'm surprised no one succeeded. I PMed at the one in Brookfield and they approved after a little chat with their mangaer.

Well usually I am always approved at the Mayfair one but I did not hear about it until later so I tried the one in Menomonee Falls by my work and they always shoot down everything.

I was able to use a print out from radio shack back when SCIV was $19.97 and get that at the mayfair one with no issues.

The last two guys reporting in here what area in milwaukee or around are you from?

Greenfield, attending UWM. And what area do you usually look for stuff?

[Derrick1979]

Greenfield, attending UWM. And what area do you usually look for stuff?

I usually look around my area so mainly NW side of Milwaukee and Brookfield areas.. sometimes in the Menomonee Falls but there is a hoarder out there who sells on ebay and usually cleans everything out instantly.

What area does this hoarder cover? DO you know? I hate that type of sh1t....I never ever considered buying more than one copy of clearance items...and if i did buy, it was for me...not to sell on Ebay....and i've been scouring targets for like 6 years since i was in college in WhitewaTER and would go to Farmertown Janesville Targets.....

wait....flashback....I guess i was a hoarder once....back in the day when animal crossing was out, target had a bundle that came with the game and a memory card....bigger than the memory card that came with the game. I remember I saw it on clearance and wanted that game, but didn't want to spend $29.xx on it...even on clearance and with the xtra memory card. Then i checked ebay and saw what they were going for and went back and bought all five bundles and seperated them and sold them......was able to keep one animal crossing and a memory card that was paid for by selling th rest...

but those days are long gone......

I hate hoarders.....and hiders. Where could you possibly hide some games and not look suspiscious, or expect it to be there in a week??? I worked at New Berlin Target for a year and with zoning every night, clearance items would end up back where they belong....

I have no clue on how far this hoarder goes for games I just know that mainly the NW Side,Menomonee Falls,brookfield and Pewaukee GC are usually cleaned out of anything real fast... I found this guy on ebay looking for games and came across him and he is in the menomonee falls area and granted his games are not priced to high but he lists them in a different catagory so he gets away with like $6.50 shipping and he ships media mail
!!!!!
I contacted this guy on several occasions asking if I bought a bunch of games and added like $10 extra would he meet or could I come pick up but he refuses and said full shipping on everything also no combined.. what a fuck tard im not paying way over inflated shipping for an item located at most 10 mins north of where I live.....

But pretty much I know buy his selection that he gets a healthy restocking on games from target's clearance and Kmart as well.. I could almost bet as well that hes a lurker around here as well.,,

[Shiroh30]

Man, that suck....i have noticed that I haven't seen too many "steals" below the 30% mark. Though I usually just do Waukesha and New Berlin Target. Wal-Mart suck and so does Kmart as far as GC.

that guy is total turd...doesn't he have a job?

It's like at Goodwill, I use to hit the Jackpot all the time for old NES games, now all the ee's snatch everything up before it hits the floor, and if they don't get it in time....I actually saw an employee ask this chick that worked there also to grab the NES off those wheeled carts and she snuck it to the back room....
I suppose if I worked there I would do the same....

[DukeSoccer]

I was really hoping to get Last Remnant at Target for $15 but I had no luck, by the time those games dropped in price they were already gone :(

[perdition(troy]

No. They ring up at regular price. Still, if you buy them now you can bring in your receipt on Sunday and have the prices adjusted to $10 each. That way you can guarantee picking up the titles you want rather than sorting through the leftovers.

Thats alright the game or two im looking to snag are not going to be the popular ones to grab seeing they are normally like $20-30 so theres not a huge re-sell potential which will probably cause them to be looked over..

Unless of course some scumbag just walks in and grabs anything and everything with a yellow round sticker...

Just to try and help me with one of the games I mixed it in with the buttloads of copies of this one sports game..

I hit up the Racine Best Buy this morning, along with the Wal-Mart.

Best Buy did not have a lot for their $10 sale. No Silent Hill, Infinite Undiscovery, Too Human, Pure, Soul Calibur, or 007 for 360. Their selection was pretty limited, and there was a decent crowd there, so if you didn't get there this morning, don't expect much to be left this afternoon.

Wal-Mart PM'd Pure and Devil May Cry 4 for me though, although they were a little hesitant.

[Derrick1979]

Hit up the Mayfair RD Best Buy this morning at open and no one was there untill about 10 mins after store open... Did manage to get what I wanted and did not see to many people buying like crazy which suprised me seeing this is the flagship store of the area.

I have no idea because I was looking for Overlord and then Ninja Gaiden and Away:Shuffle Dungeon on the DS.. Did not look at the 360 stuff because that area was swamped.

[heybtbm]

I went back to Best Buy (Madison West) this afternoon and was able to price adjust all the games I bought on Thursday. ~$230 credit back on my card...not bad. I checked out the game section to see what they had left. It was absolutely destroyed. They only had copies of the complete shit games that you would expect to be there. The morning crowd came in there with a vengeance. Wow.

They still have 5 or so copies of The Golden Compass (lol). GO GET'EM!

[Terrenceistheman]

i was able to get to the East Side Madison store to price adjust my few games i bought in the week..

still wasnt able to get Pure or NHL 2k9
maybe i will try to get WalMart to pricematch pure since that's one of the ones in the add.

I was there yesterday morning. Got there about 2 minutes after 10am and grabbed Rock Band and the last copy of Soul Calibur IV...the two games I had gone for. I went back and forth on 007, but ended up not getting it (not a Bond fan at all). I also picked up Blitz II at Target a couple days before for the same price (clearance!), though I probably should have waited until yesterday to get it at BBY, just for the RZ points. Oh well.

Walmart (West Madison) has all the games shown in the Best Buy ad for $9.99. No price match necessary. They automatically ring up $9.99. Nobody seems to know this (or care) because they have plenty of copies of everything (easily 8-10 copies of Pure for example). Minus one Red Alert 3 after I left.

The BB here in Racine doesn't have it, and neither does the one in Kenosha. Your best bet would be to go have Wal-Mart PM it.

[fart_bubble]

The BB here in Racine doesn't have it, and neither does the one in Kenosha. Your best bet would be to go have Wal-Mart PM it.

the Kenosha BB ran out of Pure a week before the sale started. I was keeping an eye on them (had no money at the time but wanted it). Just ended up getting a pm at Wal-Mart. Still wish I was able to find Operation Darkness, Blitz 2 and Silent Hill but no luck at either the Kenosha or Racine store (hit up the Kenosha store about 20 minutes after they opened and about 1 for the Racine store).

Didn't make out to bad though. SCIV, Red Alert 3 and Pure at Wal-Mart and IU and 007 at Best Buy

[Shiroh30]

Operation Darkness

This a good game? I picked it up because it looked cool. Picked up Soul Calibur IV, Fracture, OD, some sing it and singstar games for my daughter, silent hill homecoming, and......

three rock revolutions that i immediately traded in to BBV for $19 each!, but then they didn't have shit for games and I didn't have nothing to buy, ended up buying Rockband 2 for the wife for $30 and with $27 credit....oh well

[Derrick1979]

I had Operation Darkness when I had my 360 and the only Game you can compare it to in the "Gameplay" department would be Valkyria Chronicles.

It has very similar play but of course it does not look as good and play as well as Valkyria Chronicles..

Either way thats the best example I can give but for $9.99 I is worth a try.

[perdition(troy]

if anyone picks up an extra copy of SCIV (360) i would gladly buy it off you or trade for it.

thanks, maybe I should play that before I play VC. Or OD may be ruined. That's what happened when I started playing CoD4, in my mind nothing could compare and I passed on a lot shooters because of it...

Ha ha COD4 is still freaking awesome, if you have a PS3 though and you play Killzone 2 the sheer eye candy that badboy shells out will make other FPS look bland.

[Shiroh30]

I've had KZ2 for two months now and played it once, it's hard to get used to different controls......i need more time.
I've probably only played:

5/32 pS3 games
1/20 360 games
1/15 wii games
10/40 ds games
I won't even go into ps2, xbox, and GC

[Shiroh30]

I spend more time buying games than playing them dammit!

Just recently traded in my Killzone 2 and RE5 this weekend for a DS Lite ha ha

[Shiroh30]

ahh good deal...did you beat those games?

[Derrick1979]

No lol I never even played RE5 I had to open it to trade it in.. thing is I payed $35 for it with a PM when it launched and got $42 in credit with the trade 5 promo..

KZ2 I got pretty far in and I will probably rebuy them when they drop in price which will happen either that or snipe bid someone on Ebay to get them cheaper lol.

[NoobHammer]

If anyone in the Madison area managed to pick up an extra Infinite Undiscovery or Red Alert 3 and would be willing to meet me Downtown or by Campus, I would be most appreciative!

I hate not having a car because I miss deals like this and only have the crappy Gamestop on State St. to make me content.

ha!...i rarely beat any games, man. I was so close in Fall-Out 3 (like 120 hours), but i haven't picked it up since january

[Derrick1979]

Fallout had me hooked and now I have not played it since Thursday and I have no ambition to go back to it ha ha..

[fart_bubble]

This a good game? I picked it up because it looked cool. Picked up Soul Calibur IV, Fracture, OD, some sing it and singstar games for my daughter, silent hill homecoming, and......

three rock revolutions that i immediately traded in to BBV for $19 each!, but then they didn't have shit for games and I didn't have nothing to buy, ended up buying Rockband 2 for the wife for $30 and with $27 credit....oh well

The camera sucks, the levels tend to drag on and on and it is a bit standard for strategy RPGS but over all its not a bad game especially for $10. The story is pretty cool and the difficulty is in the sweet spot as its challenging but not pull your hair out hard. I was surprised to see Spectral Soul 3 wasn't on the list. The Racine store still has a couple copies the last time I was in there

[Terrenceistheman]

if it helps anyone to know.. the East Madison Bestbuy has the xbox360 version of the Collectors Edition of Saints Row 2 for $50 + 50% off or $25

[Shiroh30]

thanks, I probably will never get around to playing it....

[Shiroh30]

yeah hooked is right word for me too or used to be hooked, i've telling myself I have to play for the last month....there was a time where I was like 60 hours in and the shit started freezing up on me in tenpenny tower.....I don't know what I did, because I decided to play after a night of drinking at the bar....next day I couldn't get into the building and had to do full power offs to get the game working again. I finally figured out a way to get around it, so I didn't have to re-start. if this happens to you let me know, and i'll tell you what worked for me...

Got anything cool like that for PS3 there? W Madison doesn't :(

If anybody in Madison is still looking for Pure (X360 or PS3) or Infinite Undiscovery for $10, I know for sure that the Wal-Mart in W Madison (off of Gammon) has them. I was there tonight and saw they had Pure and I.U. for X360 labeled $9.99, so I asked about the price-matching for Pure for the PS3 and the guy working electronics made the change in the system b/c it was in the ad (well, at least the X360 version is, and he said it would apply to both). Unfortunately, he couldn't make the change for MLB: The Show 08.

[Quest15]

The Monona Wal-Mart does not have any of the games price matched. I did not ask if they would as they did not have Overlord, which is the only one I am after. Has anyone hit the East Side Walmart?

[Terrenceistheman]

sorry, i didnt look. there was a YMMV thread on Collectors Editions being 50% off.. so i went to see.. and sure enough, the SR2 had a bill sticker on it that said 50% off.. i was actually looking for the CE of madden 09

next time i stop in, i will def check for ya

if it helps, i was able to PM pure for 360 (pictured in the ad) at the Sun Prairie Walmart w/o any trouble

[xplocvo]

I stopped in there yesterday morning, and they had no more copies of Pure left. I may stop at East Wal-Mart this morning on the way to work, but unfortunately I don't have a paper BB ad. Hopefully they have one on hand or have already adjusted the price like West did.

[xplocvo]

I went to East Wal-Mart this morning. They did not have it marked down automatically, but they did a price match on Pure for 360. Fortunately they had a paper ad there that they consulted. The manager that came over to do the override didn't seem to happy about doing it. He said something like, "Well, as long as they still have it go ahead and do it". Fortunately they didn't ask if Best Buy still had it in stock.

They had several more copies of it left, as well as copies of C&C Red Alert 3, Infinite Undiscovery, and a few Soul Calibur 4 for PS3.

[deletion]

Was able to use the reward zone coupon for $20 off infinite undiscovery and get it for free. just a heads up to anyone still looking to get IU.

[perdition(troy]

if anyone in SE wisconsin is looking for a IU guide I have an extra one I would be willing to trade.

[WiiNet]

Odd (mostly off topic) post... but, if anyone is looking for a nicely used, affordable futon, I'm moving out of Madison and looking to not move it with me. PM me and we can talk. May also have a few other things to clear out as the move gets closer (monitor, possibly an HDTV).

[aeri]

Anyone who is in the Green Bay area, there was about 20 rock revolutions for 360 and PS3 as of Saturday midday at Best Buy. 10 bucks each, heard you could trade them at BBV or something.

Also, at Preplayed I saw Chaos Wars for PS2 for about 25 bucks. Came with box, not sure about instructions. About 10 bucks cheaper than if you'd buy online I think.

There is still a Gamestop near me with 4 sealed copies of this game... People buy it due to rare factor but this game is a turd all around... I would say pass on it even if you were thinking of getting it for the rare factor.

Went to the East Madison BBY today and got SR2 CE for PS3 at 50% off. They had a few other PS3 CE's at 50% as well. I don't remember all of 'em, but definitely SR2 (7 left after I purchased mine), BIA:HH, and WWE Smackdown v. Raw. I also saw Facebreaker (not a CE...don't think there is one for this game) for 50% off (making it 9.99), and there were some others, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to check 'em all out. They also had some X360 50% off, but I don't have an X360, so I didn't really look.

[Goodwill Hunter]

Picked up the 360 Two Worlds collectors edition for $5 at the Cudahy GameCrazy. There were still 3 new/sealed copies there as of Friday.

I'm going to indulge in a little shameless self promotion if that's okay (if not, ignore this post):

For anyone in the MADISON area, I'm graduating/moving in a few weeks and need to unload a bunch of furniture and stuff. Some stuff is in my TL (check my signature), most isn't because I can't ship furniture (it's big and heavy). If you're looking to furnish an apartment, shoot me a PM (won't bore everyone with the details here). Futon, desk, bookshelves, LCD monitor, lamps, etc.

EDIT: I'll deliver pretty much anything to Madison area locations.

[SEH]

Thought I'd give the heads up to local MMA nuts. The Racine Gamestop in Regency Point (the one not in the mall) is doing a midnight launch for the UFC game on Monday night.

I was actually surprised to find this out since I know a lot of people whose Gamestops aren't doing a midnight launch. I guess here in Racine we have quite a few people interested in MMA.

damn bro, you're like a month to late......I sold and trade both of mine for what they cost me......$15

[Terrenceistheman]

the new target in sun prairie (east of madison) had lips on sale for $34.xx
not an amazing game, but it is fun and the upcoming rockband update is supposed to allow for the 2 wireless mics to work w/ it

[psunami]

I just saw that yesterday. I think I'm going to wait for $25 for it to get the two mics.

[kitsune23]

Almost wish I would bit on them at $34 when i was in Milwaukee last week. Green Bay stores are still full price.

<heya Psunami!!>

[psunami]

I think they had 4 or 5 of them when I was there on Thursday.

My hope is that they'll still be there at the $25 price. It'll be nice to have almost everything wireless for Rock Band/Guitar Hero.

<howdy kitsune23>

Clearances have dried up around the area lately.
Even targets around here seem to ship out their clearance shit after it gets to around $15, or donate it to your local goodwill. I've seen a lot of target clearance crap in goodwills.

Just found this thread, figured a good place to ask, anyone know of any stores that sell N64 games in Milwaukee besides the CD warehouse/MMX on Brady and the Mega Media XChange on 76th st?

There is a place in Germantown,WI that the guy sells a bunch of retro gaming stuff but he has strange hours. Also you may want to try Record Head on I think 70th and Greenfield Ave.

There's a CD Max that is currently merging with Mega Media XChange in Brookfield on Blue Mound Rd (right next to the Best Buy) that has some N64 games at decent prices.

Walmart on East Capital (The place hope goes to die) had Wii cards (I think 2000 points) on sale for $20, and the Goodwill next door had a mario kart wheel for $15. I have no idea if these are good deals or not, but I figured I'd post them.

You know the name of the place in Germantown? Descent prices, or is it like most of the places that sell old games and he thinks everything is rare so charges out the ass?

[BudzMcGee]

Also, the Wii cards were not in the electronics section, they were in the clearance isle by hardware.

[Nakilos]

2000 Wii points is standard $19.99 from what I've seen. Also, you can find first party wheels anywhere from $11.99 to $9.99. Pretty sure I saw them for $9.99 at Walmart.

Also a little bird told me Gamecrazy may be running buy one get one half off on all used games this week. I'll edit the post if it ends up true tomorrow.
