Sony PS1 system/LCD combo - $29.97 @ Sears B&M - VERY YMMV

[waxHead]

I managed to beat the Target PS1 combo deal with this, I couldn't believe it.

after reading about the $80 PS 1 combos on here this past weekend, I headed to a local Sears B&M where I knew a lone PS1 system/LCD combo had been selling for ~$150 about a month earlier. I had an employee price check it on Sunday, he told me it was $29.97, so I immediately grabbed it. unfortunately, it was the last one.

obviously, YMMV greatly on this deal, but it's certainly worth checking out. also, I picked up two official Sony LCDs for the PS 1, still brand new and sealed. I have these for trade if anyone is interested, here's my list:

[bfg9k]

Waxhead, stop buying my stuff ;)

[CaseyRyback]

if someone else confirms this I guess I have a birthday present lined out for myself

[Dysheekie]

I just paid 150 for my combo (*tear*)

I hope to God my Sears doesn't have this deal otherwise I may have to end myself. :D

[sj41]

In what city was this?

[JohnnyDrama]

I gotta check my local Sears for this one. Thanks for the info.

[waxHead]

Waxhead, stop buying my stuff ;)

hahaha! sorry bfg9k, my credit card scanned itself when it heard the price! I tried to stop it, there was nothing I could do... :D

[waxHead]

In what city was this?

White Plains, NY

I know there are a bunch of ppl looking for this deal, I hope someone can find a few more for this price.

[SneakyPenguin]

throw it in my face a bit more, why don't ya? :evil:

[SneakyPenguin]

well then you had best get looking :wink:

i just think its good incentive to get looking. i really want this bundle, and having a good trade helps.

[guyver2077]

is this at all sears..god i hate going there

[waxHead]

well then you had best get looking :wink:


I very much hope you are kidding in that statement.

[CaseyRyback]

SEARS is good. My dad loves Craftsman tools because of the lifetime warranty

[SneakyPenguin]

well then you had best get looking :wink:


I very much hope you are kidding in that statement.

yea, but im serious, i want this bundle bad.

[pimp tyranny]

i sure as hell hope my Sears has this deal.

[DigitalSpace]

Sears sucks for video games. Never any good sales, no Gamecube stuff. With that said, this PSone combo deal is quite a surprising steal if you can get one.

[dracula]

good lord this is insane. This easily dwarfs the target deal for "bargain of the year".

I will hit every sears in my area. Yikes, that is a super cheap price

[shipwreck]

Where exactly does one look for video games in Sears? The softer side, the harder side?

The games are usually in the electronics section. At my local Sears, they're next to the computers, but it might vary depending on the store.

[punqsux]

penguin im looking for one for you. i just called 1 store but its scanning at 79.97 there

[Cmosfm]

Mine didn't have any. They did have Grabbed By The Ghoulies for Xbox - 9.99 - not bad.

[punqsux]

no dice

called all 4 sears and 2 were oos, 1 had it sofr 79.97, and one for 69.99

[Qbe]

Only one Sears in my area had any at all, and they're $79.97. Another had some LCDs for $69.97.

[The_Continental]

$79.99 at mine too. Bummer.

[alongx]

The best deal I saw at Sears was Grabbed by the Ghoulies (XB) for $9.98, which doesn't seem like too much of a deal to me. They should give me $9.98 for clearing their inventory.

[doraemonkerpal]

this could make the deal a little sweeter:

I picked it up only to get them to go to the back and search for one. They also had Jedi Academy for 25

[MANIMAL]

i still cannot find one of these PS One LCD deals......I think i spent all my luck when i got Steel Battalion for $99 last month.....lets hope not

[KingNES]

My Sears has this combo for 79.97, up 10.00 from the 69.97 it was marked at. However they had tons of great sale prices on games for the X box and PS2 instead. I got XenoSaga for 14.00 even, Kotor for 20.00, Midtown madness for 9.97.

wow! i'm going to sears today! if i find anything, i'll let you alls know.

[YoshiFan1]

LCD Screen was $70, Bundle was tagged $150, rang up at $80. I did see Panzer Dragoon Orta for $15 but I am waiting to find it for under $10.

[SneakyPenguin]

thanks for looking, i just may ask you to grab one for me at that price if i cant find it this weekend.

[TomCloud9]

Mine said it was 150, but it was some lazy @ss who didnt bother to look, I will go my self and look tommorrow. Another reason I dont call stores.

[Steggy]

if someone sees one for 70 ill buy it from u :)

[Cmosfm]

Picked up Midtown Madness 3 for 9.97 as posted earlier...anyone played this yet? I'm at work and kinda wondering if I wasted my money. :P

[Steggy]

Urge to drvie to local sears rising...

[starman9000]

THere is one for 79 at my sears. The screen itself is 69. If you are interested I could maybe get it, for a fee of course.

The guy working there said they might be clearing out all the games soon, so maybe in a couple of weeks more drops will happen.

[YoshiFan1]

I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped selling games. For the most part, they never have a good selection and their prices are usually a joke ($39.99 for old PSOne games, advertised prices for games like MVP 2004 for $49.99 etc.)

They are supposed to give you the marked price plus 5 bucks off when it rings up wrong (just letting you know).

[adamsappel]

Until recently, my Sears seemed to believe that old games in dusty cases at exorbitant prices was the best way to move merchandise. They didn't carry the PSOne combo, but I did find a v.1 Live kit for $24.97 (my subscription expires in 2 days). I also picked up Grabbed by the Ghoulies for $9.97. Other games I can remember were Jedi Academy for $24.97, Haven was $4.97 (it's my duty to flog this game), the Xbox Hi-Def A/V Pack was $6.97 and Panzer Dragoon Orta was $14.97.

[weimerwanger]

whoever topic creator is, what is the exact sears you got it from? i think sears does a store to store price match if they would match another retailer

I bought this at the only Sears store in White Plains, NY:

WHITE PLAINS, NY 10601
(914)644-1400

Sears Mall Store

hope this helps!

it might, but they might say that since the white plains store has none left in stock that they cannot honor that price, i hope they can honor the price tho.

I'm sure the employees working the electronics dept regret selling that to me now! :)

[zewone]

i asked if they would price match another sears and he told me it would if its the same state. damn to bad i live ca

[dracula]

drat, i will check back later, that would be great if they clearance this out

[zewone]

someone in NY might be able to get it pricematched at a different sears from the one in whiteplains

[dracula]

IF all NY state sears will price match that then this is the deal of the year.

No they don't, unless your state (like Michigan) has that specific scanner law on the books. Most don't.

No they don't, unless your state (like Michigan) has that specific scanner law on the books. Most don't.

Unless they changed it, Sears policy for years has been that if an item rings up for more than it is supposed to be, you get the correct price and $5 off of the item (if the item is $5, you get the item for free).

[Diiz]

Just checked one of my locals and they didn't even have the combo...just the LCD on its own for $69.97.

This was at the Westfield shopping mall in Escondido, CA.

[loserboy]

Downtown Chicago Sears had one combo for $79.97...didn't get it, already had one, but would've picked it up had it rang up under 50.

[SneakyPenguin]

im having my frien go and try and get one in NYC. told him to make them call white plains

[waxHead]

good luck, I hope that works out for you.

too bad this has been a bust for everyone, I was hoping to help some ppl out w/ this, looks like it's caused more aggravation than anything else :?

[dark79]

I found a combo at my local sears (Champaign, IL) for $80. So it musta just been that one store in NY. Ah well.

[Dazz]

I went to one in Norfolk VA and they had no combo's left but had a sign that stated that the Screen was $69.97.

[Steggy]

i got one for 75. Worth every penny to me.

[doraemonkerpal]

i went to the brea mall on tuesday and they didn't have any video game deals except panzer dragoon orta for $15. they don't have the ps1/lcd combo, the old starter kit (w/ mechassault) is still $70, and midtown madness (xbox) is $30! i felt bad for the girl. i had her take out a bunch of stuff and scan every single one, but i didn't buy anything. oh well, i might try again next week. if they don't have anything, i'll probably get panzer dragoon. :)

[yeahokthenfu]

Maybe Ill check out my sears this weekend but not sure yet, Ill keep nyall posted

[Gojtron]

Daytona Beach was unhelpful. They have 3, and I asked about pricing, the man just said they were 49, and refused to check, saying "he had just checked earlier in the day".

[goldengraham]

Those are still a good deal at that price.

[Unassuming Local Guy]

$80 at my Sears. They had three of them though.

If I needed a PSOne I'd pick it up but I already have a PS2 and two PlayStations. $80 is too much for the novelty of playing on a mini LCD.

[YoshiFan1]

When you want a price check, don't ask for one. Just say you want to buy the item and if it rings up for more than expected, just say you changed your mind.

It seems that in a lot of stores, employees insist the tagged price is what the price is and don't want to be bothered checking prices. The best is when the price is in fact lower than the tagged price and they get that shocked look on their face.

[Shadows916]

I just went and checked the smithhaven mall sears,long island new york- to get a price adjustment since they sold it to me for 80- they checked whiteplains ny and they have no record of it being sold for under 79.99-can you rpovide a scan of reciept for proof? they said they would take that

[jaybird]

I went to my Sears yesterday & the combo was tagged at $149.99, but scanned at $79.97. For almost 50% off, I went ahead & bought it for that price.

I wish I'd read this thread more thoroughly & printed out that $5 coupon before I went.

Great way to enjoy your other systems if the main TV is in use.

BTW, these are available in-store too

[Diiz]

*Diiz levels up*


Ah, hell...I completely forgot to check my other SEARS. Guess I know what I'm doing today.

[simpsonps121]

I checked my Sears today.
LCD plus PS1 - $79.99
Star Wars Jedi Academy - $24.99
Wild Arms 3: - $19.99

Thanks,
Matthew

[chapper15]

has anyone confirmed this? :?:

[Shadows916]

has anyone confirmed this? :?:

No. My Sears checked White Plain's store, and it showed up as $80, same as everywhere else. Calling that store failed, as they never pick up the phone. This story is sounding more and more like complete bull, but if the person who posted can provide proof by receipt, those of us in NY at least can have the price adjusted to match.

-Nika

[Aryss]

I checked two Sears in Pittsburgh. They had the units but were $79.99 scanned. I told the employee about the price and he said he wouldn't be surprised if Sears screwed it up but fixed it.

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

I went to my local sears and the system was 79.99 as well. This can still be beneficial my cheap ass friends. I proceeded to walmart where I returned it and received a store credit for $150! Can you say Xbox for 80?

OG

[Aryss]

I thought of that too but was not sure if they would accept without a receipt.

[JohnnyDrama]

The best is when the price is in fact lower than the tagged price and they get that shocked look on their face.

I never get tired of that look.

[minos1067]

let's face it. i checked the sears in montebello, ca and its 80, as i'm sure it is everywhere else. look at it this way: the "7" will look like a "2" to some unwitted sales clerk; hence your one and only cheapass deal. poor clerk, he's probably fired. do i still need to mod the ps1 to play backups?

[Shadows916]

you can get a disc called ps xchange for around 20 to play imports/burned games-like i did :)
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/videogamesdepo/ps1ni00004.html


there is also a new disk out for the ps2, same thing-no chips or crap to put inside for 30

[sadmaker]

I just paid 150 for my combo (*tear*)

I hope to God my Sears doesn't have this deal otherwise I may have to end myself. :D

if you're lucky enough to find one, pick it up...then take the unopened console along with the $150 reciept back to get your refund :wink: :twisted:

I'm not sure I can say that, let me try: "F...R...A...U...D". Nope, I guess I can't. And I have no intention of turning this thread into a walmart scam debate, I just thought it was marginally funny.

[HYDE]

Not a PSone combo deal, but the Sears at UTC in San Diego has a few screens marked at $129 that ring up for $69. Not too bad if you need just the screen.

Compusa off Balboa and 163frwy has the LCD screens "clearanced" at $80. Heh. Oh -they also have Kingdom Hearts "Clearanced" at $44 :) Original price $54! hahaha. Their clearance bin is comedy.

[neonglow]

Yesterday, I managed to purchase the PS1/LCD combo for $52 and the LCD by itself for $30.

[Qbe]

Last Friday I was at Sears (Grand Rapids, MI, Woodland Mall) and noticed one of the combos but couldn't find an employee to scan it.

Went back on Sunday and got it scanned: $39.97. The salesguy was practically begging me not to buy it so that he could. Too bad: you snooze, you lose.

[biggestinuyashafan]

i am going there friday since i am guessing they are closed tomorrow.

[corapanther]

I'm going there today! O.O

[eat_slag]

I don't know if anyone is still interested.. or if anyone'll read this post.. but I was recently at a Sears in Watchung, NJ and they have ONE PSone/LCD combo left at $39.99. The only reason I got one was 'cause I asked the guy working there, on a whim.. he said they were under lockdown or something in the back. So, make sure you ask. They're out there.
