St. Louis Deals

[Kezmer]

the Brentwood games have changed also since the store is remodeled. they are in the back right next to the regular games. there was a Frontlines for 13.98 and I think wheelman was 20 bucks there. so many stores today I am getting forgetful... and to think I was actually out shopping for patio furnature at Lowe's because its 50% off lol

[Killbomb]

Kezmer: Was HAWK still marked $14.98? Figured it might have dropped on Monday or something. Also, did you see any Legends of Wrestlemania or Wanted in your travels?

[Kezmer]

I saw the Wrestlemania game at one of the Targets but it was still $41. HAWX was still 14.98, I may have seen it at 13.98 at one store but there were lots of copies at just about every store.

Brentwood Best Buy is having a 50% off special on certain games. A few I can think of off hand...

:360: Rise of the Argonauts $24.99
:360: Shellshock 2 $9.99
:360: Wanted $19.99
:360: Lost $9.99
:360: Spectral Force 3 $12-$15 (didn't get it checked, had 2 different prices...one on the little card and one on the sticker on the box)

Picked up Shellshock 2 last night even though it didn't get the greatest reviews. Figured I could get my 1000 GS then get hopefully get at least $5 from GS. Thinking about going back for Wanted. I've been hoping to find it for $15 at a Target clearance but that extra $5... :D


EDIT: Wow...just went back to try to get Wanted and all 3 copies from last night were gone. Same with Rise of the Argonauts and Shellshock 2. Knew I should have picked it up last night.

[dino88]

^Hey Killbomb, did you notice if any PS3 games were included?

[Kezmer]

valley BB has the same 50% off things although I never see anything worthwhile

[Killbomb]

^Hey Killbomb, did you notice if any PS3 games were included?

There were a few but not as many as 360. I doubt there is much left for PS3 unless you want Rock Revolution for $2.50. Oh, I do remember seeing a few copies of Alone in the Dark Inferno for $10 after markdown. Don't remember anything else for PS3.

I did notice when I went back that Brentwood still had a few copies of :360: Virtua Tennis 2009 for $25 after the markdown. Oh yeah, Bridgeton Target had 1 copy of :ps3: Lord of the Rings Conquest for $14.98 as of around 9 PM last night. Didn't pick it up because I wasn't sure if it had trophies. :D

valley BB has the same 50% off things although I never see anything worthwhile

I imagine Brentwood just started it Tuesday or MAYBE Monday considering how fast stuff left the store. The guy that checked me out when I bought Shellshock and Wolfenstein said he would see orange stickers in his dreams so I can only wonder what I missed out on. Checked Bridgeton but they weren't doing it.

[Kezmer]

yeah bridgeton is closest to me and they never do anything.only BB I have seen deals at are Brentwood Valley and the one in Ellisville on manchester out by Olive. still never have seen much that i am interested in. I still have riddick from target un opened i got for 14.98. I dont even feel like playing it now lol, might just take it back

[dino88]

Thanks. Nothing that jumps out at me.

[Kezmer]

I have given up for now for a decent official 120 gig HD. I think I have hit every Sears and K-mart and none have any even in stock for full price and the 60Gig are marked 104.95. I am at the point I might just buy a new Elite for 299 and get an HDMI port too that I have never had.

[gleditts]

Anyone interested in Batman Arkham Asylum, the Target on Hampton is selling it early for the ps3.

[Banjora]

I really really want this right now but already have it coming. Sad : )

[myl0r]

yea, if I was paying money I would go get it, but I have store credit. too bad

[sirhansirhan]

Anyone interested in Batman Arkham Asylum, the Target on Hampton is selling it early for the ps3.

I was there around 3:30 PM today and didn't see it.

[gleditts]

I was there around 8 pm and there were 5-7 copies left.

[Killbomb]

Anyone interested in Batman Arkham Asylum, the Target on Hampton is selling it early for the ps3.

Can anyone else confirm getting a copy there? Even if it's on the shelf, the register probably won't let it be sold until Tuesday.

[gleditts]

I got it with no problem. I was worried the register would block it but it didn't.

[Kezmer]

dont know if people are interested but PS3 Slims are out, saw some at the Bridgeton Best Buy, if they actually have it there then I am sure it is in stock everywhere else. $299 120 gig

[Killbomb]

The Blockbuster in Village Square is closing and they're doing an "everything must go" sale. Not much in the way of games...only a handful of pre-played games at only 15% off. They do have a ton of pre-viewed movies left which are now at 40% off. They were 30% off yesterday when I drove by so they may be discounted even further come the weekend.

[Kezmer]

yeah I saw this last week, that's my Blockbuster.. well used to be anyway. I didn't see anything even movies that were anything special. I think You might get better deals at the 4 movies for 20 used at a regular blockbuster

[Kezmer]

let me know if you see any deals on a set of rock band 2 wireless drums for xbox 360. I am guessing they will start clearing some stock out soon to make room for all this new stuff. i know i saw a thread a week ago about game crazy selling used ones for 10 bucks but I was out of town and couldnt check. best I have found is the wired ones for 29 at a target but that seem high for the wires.

I have a yellow lab and the less wires the better for me.. ask my guitar hero official microphone that is chewed in 2 pieces after a party.

thanks for any heads up!

Well, most were $14.99 with 40% off so I guess you're right. :D Gonna keep checking for bigger drops every now and then since it's on my way home from work.

That must have been one hell of a party. :D

[Kezmer]

Millie my Lab had a great party that night..... Guitar Hero.. booze.. vodka.. left everything out... bye bye microphone... I think my LIPS mic works with GH 5 though, I think I can sing again... of course she ate my XBOX LIVE headset too.. and my white controller...

my own fault for drinking and gaming and leaving this stuff out lol

[hufferstl]

We all need an invite next party, Kezmer. Sounds like a blast!

[Kezmer]

[gamegirl79]

LOL....she looks like quite a handful! Still a puppy, it looks like...

I have Rock Band nights at my house too but I have two cats that like to play with the cords. One night after lots of alcohol consumption I left everything out, and the next morning I found cat puke all over the drum set cord. Ugh.

[Kezmer]

yikes lol puke... i am not sure I think i might have preferred buying a new microphone lol

[Killbomb]

These stories are why I will not have animals when I get my own place. :D

[Killbomb]

Was just in Brentwood Target and they have 2 copies of :ps3: Bionic Commando for $14.98 in the locked case. I really hate the way they've remodeled that store. Why they got rid of the other entrance I will never know. Parking and just getting into the store is a major hassle.

[Kezmer]

yeah its not like that was even an old store or anything, I know they did it to add the grocery section and I admit seeing ground beef and wine at target is weird but not sure If i will ever use it

I cant remember which one but at Florissant or Rock road there was an Ironman game for 9.98 I think and the other had Rainbow 6 Vegas for 13.98

[shrike4242]

There was nothing wrong with that store. I liked being able to get in the second entrance right by the electronics section.

[cvraider]

Fenton Best Buy had several Metal gear solid 4 penny guides reg. edition as of last night. Probably about 6 guides on shelf

[Killbomb]

I don't think the remodel is fully completed but I doubt the second entrance is coming back. Makes no sense for as busy as that store is. They also moved electronics to the very back of the store which sucks. The old layout was much better for gamers. :D

[RichVGS]

The Walmart in Des Pres (off Manchester) is having a big game clearance sale because they are closing that location in 9 days and moving up to 141 and Manchester. Anyway, the prices range between $7.50 - $20.00. I had been by two other Walmart locations over the weekend, and Des Pres looks like the only place doing it because of the move. Anyway, here is what I picked up:

- Star Ocean (Xbox 360) = $15.00
- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) = $10.00
- Prince of Persia (Xbox 360) = $10.00
- Last Remnant (Xbox 360) = $15.00
- Chronicles of Riddick (Xbox 360) = $15.00

Hey Rich, do you have an address for that WM? And were there any copies of Uncharted left? Thanks

[Killbomb]

Hey Rich, do you have an address for that WM? And were there any copies of Uncharted left? Thanks

I looked at the store locator on the Wal-Mart site and this is most likely the address since I didn't see a listing for another store on Manchester...
13901 Manchester Rd
Town And Country, MO 63011

Probably run by there later on today.

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking too. Let me know what you find PS3-wise, I might head by there tonight if I'm in StL.

[RichVGS]

There were five or six more copies of Uncharted there. There are two display areas. One for $10 and another for $20 that also has $15 games in there. And yes, it is the one in Town and Country.

Damn, I only saw the one that had the $10 sign. Where was the other display located and do you think it's worth a trip back there tomorrow? Anyway, I ended up with...

:ps3: Motorstorm $7.50 plenty left
:ps3: Folklore $10.00 last one
:360: Prince Caspian $7.50 plenty left

Of note, they still had (all for $10)...

:360: Pure
:360: Lost Odyssey
:360: Tomb Raider Underworld
:360: Prince of Persia
:360: Lego Batman
:360: and :ps3: Condemned 2
:360: Sonic Unleashed
:ps3: Simpsons Game
:ps3: Legendary
:psp: Star Ocean First Departure

Plenty of older sports titles on 360 and PS3 as well.

I did not see any copies of Uncharted in the display I went through.

Probably run by there later on today.It's on Manchester, west of 270 & Manchester, about 1 mile or so, on the right when heading westbound. It's in the same shopping plaza as Home Depot and Home Decorators.

I should swing by there on the way home tomorrow. Star Ocean for $15 wouldn't be a bad thing at all as would Tomb Raider Underworld at $10.

[Banjora]

I will have to try myself in the morning. Need a copy of Uncharted still.

[dino88]

There were no more Uncharted. I searched both displays and the glass case. The other display case was directly in front of the electronics registers. Only one side held games, so maybe that's why you missed it.

I ended up leaving with nothing, but then again I was only looking for PS3 so you guys might find something for other systems. The 2 I was thinking of buying were 50 Cent (newest one) for $15 and Brothers in Arms: HH for $10.

They had about 5 or 6 Underworlds left but I didn't see any Star Oceans for 360. Perhaps they were on the rack I missed. I really would have cleaned up but I already own nearly everything that was worth getting. :cry:

I'd say the 50 Cent game is worth $15. I got it for that at Target and thought it was a pretty fun game.

[RichVGS]

Going back by that Walmart this afternoon with a friend who just bought an Xbox 360. I'll let you know what is still there when I get back.

[RichVGS]

Just got back and it looks like they cut prices a bit. A number of $15 games are now down to $10 and $20 games are down to $15. Also, noticed a few games that were not there before, including MLB 2K9 on PS3 for $10. I realize it isn't the better of the two baseball games, but damn, $10 is awesome.

Just back from there and apparently everything they have left is on one display in the middle of the aisle near electronics.

Picked up (all for $10)...

:360: Rise of the Argonauts (last one)
:360: Velvet Assassin (2 left)
:360: Dynasty Warriors Gundam (1 left)
:360: Crash: Mind Over Mutant (last one)
:360: Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon (last one)
:360: Baja Edge of Control (last one)
:ps2: Dot Hack G.U. Vol 3 Redemption

I've been waiting for a good deal on Rise of the Argonauts. Velvet Assassin is apparently not too good but I think I can flip it to Gamestop if it sucks and perhaps make a small profit since it's still going for $40 used there. Anyway, they still have most of what I posted before except :360: Lost Odyssey and I believe :psp: Star Ocean are gone. Oh, and I couldn't find the :ps3: MLB 2K9 that Rich mentioned. A few new ones I saw...

:360: Eat Lead $15 (1 copy)
:360: Far Cry 2 $15 (1 copy)
:360: Devil May Cry 4 $15 (3 copies I believe)
:ps2: Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 $5 each (1 VJ 1 and 4 or 5 VJ 2)

Anyone that goes back there keep us informed of price drops or new games. I plan on going back next week right before the move.

[shrike4242]

In other news, I was out at the Fenton Target and they moved the clearance from where it used to be at an endcap (replaced with an endcap full of Skullcandy headphones) to towards the front of an aisle.

They had a large stack, 12+ games by my guess, of SFIV for the 360, stickered at $27.98. There were some other items:

A couple copies of Wheelman for the 360 at $9.98
Terminator Salvation for the 360 at $34.98
Wanted for the 360 at $24.98
Patapon 2 at $13.98

Some random other PSP, PS3 and 360 games as well, though I didn't have time to take a look for more details. It's a bit of a mess, so it might be worth going out there and trying to get a handle on more of it.

[Killbomb]

Bridgeton Target also had around 4 or 5 :360: Street Fighter IV for $27.98. Well worth that price IMO.

Shrike,
Was it to the left of where the cameras/registers are, or did they move it again in the last week?

[shrike4242]

Shrike,
Was it to the left of where the cameras/registers are, or did they move it again in the last week?It's in a small 4' section about where you're thinking off. It's on the opposite end of the endcap from where it used to be, though one aisle closer to the registers.

There's a big "CLEARANCE" sign on one of the shelves, and you'll see it when you walk into the electronics section.

[shrike4242]

Something to pass along, since I know there's a few people that follow this thread:

Just picked up a copy of Valkyria Chronicles, it was marked $39.96 but rang up $19.96. This was at the Kirkwood Rd. Wal-Mart for you St. Louis CAGs; there looked to be 4 or 5 copies still left as of 1:30 pm.

Now I just need a PS3...

[shrike4242]

The Ellisville Best Buy had at least 2 copies of Saints Row 2 CE for the 360 listed at $19.99. Might've been 3, though for certain 2.

[cytorak]

Just once, I'd like STL stores to break street date like apparently the rest of the country does. I wanted my Scribblenauts yesterday! :(

[Kezmer]

i got Smash hits for guitar hero a week early and some Batman games were sold early but that is about it

[Killbomb]

Just once, I'd like STL stores to break street date like apparently the rest of the country does. I wanted my Scribblenauts yesterday! :(

Too bad we really don't have any mom and pop stores here like other places do. I don't think I've ever gotten a game early.

[Kezmer]

Something to keep an eye on. Street Fighter 4 at the Targets in Florissant and Bridgeton are in the Clearance section at 27.XX, there was about 3 each at each store.

Also for PS3 owners there is 1 copy of Dead Space at Bridgeton for 7.48. One of my favorite and most underrated games of last year, few copies of Rainbow 6 Vegas for PS3 also at Bridgeton for 7.48

I got one deal, I have a friend with a Wii who never had any rock band/guitar hero things, and I found a Guitar Hero world tour guitar bundle at Bridgeton for 44.98, got curious and price checked it at the scanner and it rang up 22.18.

Might be worth a shot to PC these Clearance games. Might possibly have the wrong sticker price on them.

Florissant Target had a PS3 World tour Guitar set on clearance and a Dual Guitar set, might have the wrong prices? I did not check because I went there first. Just a thought I am sure they don't change prices on Clearance stuff first

[Killbomb]

Did you notice if :360: Wanted had dropped to $12.48 at Bridgeton yet? It's been hanging at $24.98 for a while now.

[Kezmer]

I saw 1 copy of it it might have been 17.48? i cant remember, I glanced really quick at it.. most clearance games were 27 though

Guess I need to run over to Fenton and try to get the other copy of Wanted @ $12.48 for the 360.

[thabizzle]

i bought a copy of FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage for 9.99 @ the Brentwood Best Buy. They had alot of random crap......i almost feel sad for all of those $5 copies of Rock Revolution..........

ALMOST.

[Kezmer]

2 copies of Wanted for the 360 for 12.48 at the Target on 94 and Mid rivers. Also a Prince of Persia for 14.98. lots of SF4 for 27.XX at all targets... Im waiting for a drop there because It doesnt interest me hardly at all

Of course all the stores that have dropped Wanted that low are far from me. Oh well, I'll just grab it when it eventually becomes $10 used at Gamestop.

[Kezmer]

I would have grabbed one but I am just too back logged I guess. I still have fear 2 and riddick sitting un opened and I want to finish 50 cent also.. just cant stop the usual guitar hero/rock band to play anything else.

[MSUHitman]

FYI the Fenton Game Crazy/HWV is now closed as of Friday. From what I was told by the Gamestop manager, the management at HWV/GC were told at 7 p.m. Thursday that the location would be permanently closed after they locked the doors that night and that everyone on staff was to report to work Friday for their final day and to get all the merchandise ready to ship to other stores.

I wonder what happened for all the people who had games/movies pre-ordered there?

My guess is that they'll transfer any pre-orders to the nearest store, though as I look at it (from my list of stores on my PDA), the only "close" stores would be South Grand or U City, and that's not really that close from Fenton at all.

[MSUHitman]

There are 2 360 dual guitar/game combos for GH World Tour left at Fenton Target for 22.48.

[Kezmer]

might grab them tomorrow just for the guitars alone.. I just had one crap out last week

[Kezmer]

actually do you remember are they a bundle with the GH 3 Les Pauls? or are the GHWT guitars? I have 2 Les Pauls but my Fiance' prefers the WT guitars and thats the one that broke lol

[MSUHitman]

They are Les Pauls, I think it may of been a Target exclusive bundle.

[Kezmer]

thanks for the info, I thought they were Les Pauls, I had seen that bundle at a target for PS3 before. Only place I have seen it except for maybe old Circuit City during the close out for the Aerosmith game.

[MSUHitman]

Oh and the Fenton Target had 10-15 copies of SF IV on 360 for $26.88 as of 6 p.m. Monday.

[Kezmer]

someone must have beaten me to the guitar heros... i wanted the guitars and got to the bluffs at 9am this morning and couldnt find them anywhere. oh well I hope someone got them that neede them. I just wanted extra guitars really because I break them in drunken stupors lol

[gamegirl79]

I was at Sam's in Maplewood yesterday and saw a copy of Lego Batman for 360 for $18 and some change. If I didn't already have it for PS2 I would've picked it up.

[Kezmer]

Florissant target had nothing special today, dont waste your time going there this week unless you see a good drop in price on street fighter 4

[MSUHitman]

I would wait to get SF IV if you haven't already until Super Street Fighter IV comes out next Spring.

Got Lips w/mics for $12.48 at the Manchester Target. It was just sitting on the shelf with all of the GH/RB stuff next to the 360 game case with no tag on it or on the shelf. It was the only copy.

Are any of the other local GC's closing? Scorch says about 1/3 of all GC's nationwide are going to close by the end of October.

[cvraider]

I think these are the only remaining Gamecrazy stores in St. Louis according to their store locator.


GAME CRAZY - 6662 DELMAR, ST LOUIS, MO 63130 THe Loop
GAME CRAZY - 3106 SOUTH GRAND, ST LOUIS, MO 63118
GAME CRAZY - 10887 W FLORISSANT, FERGUSON, MO 63136


I've gotten a few decent deals at the Fenton location and I will miss them.

[MSUHitman]

Forgot to mention the Manchester Target had their Zune's marked down on clearance to $65, $85, and $195 respectively.

[MSUHitman]

Also forgot to mention that the South County BB has Buzz Quiz TV for PS3 on clearance for $30.

[myl0r]

I can verify that the only GC's closing in the entire DISTRICT that includes St. Louis is the store in Cape and on in Rogers, Arkansas.
So outside of Fenton, none of the St. Louis stores are closing. This info came from one of my former co-worker's at the W. Florissant location.

There's never anything good on sale/ clearance at the Target by my house (Florissant). Craptastic. HOWEVER- if you're a Sam's member or know someone who is, i got a wireless 360 controller/ headset bundle for $30 at the one in St. Charles. I go through a lot of headsets....

[Kezmer]

yeah I work at the Post office across the street from that Target. It has NEVER had a good deal that I have found. I hit it up once a week though like a good soldier but it is better worth the gas to hit the Rock Rd one, they have some decent deals on clearance

[Goonie85]

I've seen threads from other places in the country about Goodwill having decent selection formn time to time on PS3 and 360 games, and people say they have NES games in droves. WTF? Has anybody seen that at any stores around here? Cuz I haven't.

FYI I think Slackers sucks for anything besides DS games. But if you wanted used prices, there a place called Game Traderin St. Charles on the outer road between 94 & Zumbehl.

I haven't seen any good new games on clearance anywhere for a while.

[quatrevav35]

Wallmart near Watson Rd. (Crestwood?) had Fire Emblem: shadow Dragon for DS for $10, it isn't marked as such but I asked someone to scan it and it showed for $10 in the system, so I picked up one. Should be 2 or so left.

dude, I used to use that post office all the time for my Goozex/CAG trades. You don't work the front counter, do you?

Only thing I ever found at that Target that was worthwhile was Scene It? Bundles on clearance for $14.98, back when they went for 1000 on Goozex. Got my bundle there and a Goozex bundle at an IL target.

[Ryuukishi]

Does the Brentwood Target even have a game clearance section anymore?

[Killbomb]

Does the Brentwood Target even have a game clearance section anymore?

When I was there about a month or so ago, there was a little clearance section facing the back wall in electronics.

[shrike4242]

Wallmart near Watson Rd. (Crestwood?) had Fire Emblem: shadow Dragon for DS for $10, it isn't marked as such but I asked someone to scan it and it showed for $10 in the system, so I picked up one. Should be 2 or so left.I'll run by there on the way to work tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

[shrike4242]

The Kirkwood store on S. Lindbergh didn't have any copies, though they did check and said the Fenton store out at Gravois Bluffs did have three copies.

I swung by there on my way to work and they were correct in that they had three copies. There are two copies left, and they are shelf-tagged at $10, plus scanned at $10. They're in an open area next to the locked glass case, and they're in security cases, so you'll need to pay for them in the Electronics area.

[Goonie85]

Well, yesterday was my first Saturday off in 5 weeks, so I spent it garge sale-ing (yeah that's a word). Buying/ collecting NES & SNES games is a hobby of mine. Not one person had any. I asked and they looked at me like I was retarded!! I guess everyone is getting wise and putting thier NES games up on the internet?? I thought for sure some old lady cleaning out her basement would have a box of those, and not really know what they are....

Does anyone else go to garage sales for old video games? Have you been more successful than me?

[sendme]

I have not been to a garage/yard sale in a long time. Now all the crap that you would sell at a yard/garage sale that might be worth a good amount people put on eBay to sell. Then all the stuff that wont sell or would cost to much to sell is put in the garage/yard sale. Atleast that is what it sounds like people are doing from the few that I know that go to yard/garage sales.

[MSUHitman]

Anyone try to PM TRU's ad at BB yet? Might be nice to keep a list of those that would.

I'll bet money Fenton won't do it given my previous encounters with them. It might be worth trying the locations in South County and Crestwood since they are across the street/down the street from the two South County-area TRU locations.

Maybe also try the Chesterfield and Fairview Heights/Belleville BB's as they are the only other ones near a TRU in STL?

[Killbomb]

Bridgeton or Brentwood might be worth a shot to anyone interested since they are both about 10 miles away from the TRU on West Florissant. I don't feel like hassling with anyone so I'm just going to TRU. :D

[shrike4242]

Chesterfield BB is close to a TRU, with the TRU being on Clarkson/Olive & 40 and the BB being in Chesterfield Valley.

Bridgeton BB is semi-close to a TRU, with the TRU being at West Florissant and the BB being on St. Charles Rock Road.

Mid Rivers BB is close to a TRU, with the TRU and BB both being out by Mid Rivers Mall.

South County BB on S. Lindbergh is close to two TRU's, one on S. Lindbergh and one on Watson in Crestwood.

Fenton BB at Gravois Bluffs and Watson BB in Crestwood are close to the same TRU's as the South County BB.

Fairview Heights BB is close to the TRU in Fairview Heights TRU.

Rest of the BB's are a bit of a drive from a TRU.

And that was all pulled from memory, sadly enough. :D Well, I do have the address/phone # for all the BB's and TRU's in the area on my PDA. ;)

[Killbomb]

Just got back from Bridgeton Target and saw of note...

:360: Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires $9.98 1 copy
:360: Terminator Salvation $12.48 2 or 3 copies
:psp: God of War Chains of Olympus $13.98 2 or 3 copies
:pc: Tomb Raider Underworld $4.98 3 or 4 copies
:pc: Saints Row 2 $7.xx 1 copy

[Kezmer]

Thanks Killbomb saved me a trip lol I was going to go check it out tonight

[MSUHitman]

Chesterfield TRU has 2 PSP-2000 priced on clearance @ $85.

[Killbomb]

Any luck with PMing TRU's ad at Best Buy? I got 3 games from TRU this morning, thought my PS3 was shot, went and bought a Slim at Crestwood Best Buy along with :360: Magna Carta 2 only to get home and discover my PS3 is now working again. This is great of course but now that I can return the Slim, I wouldn't mind getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and LBP:GOTY to go along with MC2.

[cvraider]

Was going to try PM TRU at BB today or tomorrow. Will let everyone know how it went.



UPDATE: Went to BB in Crestwood and was able to pricematch. I went up to customer service and asked. She said she was going to call TRU to see if they had games in stock. She never did though. She got so busy with customers behind me she didn't have time. She got the manager override and off i went.So maybe I had luck on my side, who knows.

Picked up Brutal Legend 360with free Rock Band tracks
Batman Arkham Asylum PS3
Uncharted 2
They adjusted receipt and only charged me a .01 for Uncharted 2. Give it a try!!!!

[Killbomb]

Probably wouldn't be worth it to try at Crestwood for me then. TRU doesn't carry Sigma 2 so if they would call I would be screwed. Thanks for the info.

[cvraider]

Give it a try when they are busier in the evening. Other people could have called for her but didn't. There was plenty of help. Cant hurt. Never try Fenton though. They never budge on anything it seems.

[Xerol69]

sorry i'm a little late, but I just found this thread.

I was able to PM at the BB in St. Peters with no problem. I posted about it in the TRU thread here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6395081&postcount=2260

[Killbomb]

If anyone comes across any early sales of Tekken 6 this week, please post. :D

[Kezmer]

valley Target has 2 copies of Fable 2 for 20.98 and GH Metallica is on clearance also but at 41.98 Prices falling weekly !

[Killbomb]

valley Target has 2 copies of Fable 2 for 20.98 and GH Metallica is on clearance also but at 41.98 Prices falling weekly !

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check my Targets for GH:Metallica. Been waiting for that one to clearance. It's the only recent music game I've been interested in but I refused to pay full price for it.

[Kezmer]

yeah I would like it also, no copies on clearance at rock rd or florissant. Rock Rd really had nothing I took the 360 rock band guitar for 15 bucks just to have a 4th for GH 5.

[SuperPhillip]

The Crestwood BB and Sunset Hills TRU are extremely close.

[hufferstl]

Anyone want to go in on the BB buy 2 get 1 deal. The only game I can think of right now that I need is Borderlands, and for $40(after discount), the price is right. Let me know.

[Killbomb]

Went to Brentwood Target earlier and they had stacks of :ps2: Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for $4.98. I recalled it getting not so great reviews but I like Indy so I thought it worth a shot for $5. Also saw...

:360: Bigs 2 $19.98 1 copy
:360: GH: Metallica $41.98 3 or 4 copies
:360: X-Men Origins Wolverine $41.98 (I believe) 3 or 4 copies

[mablem8]

Saw this thread and thought I'd drop in a comment. Any other Edwardsville, IL gamers out there? Any fellow SIUE students?

[destro4eva]

Old news here, but when TRU was doing the B2G1 free deal, NONE of them had Fallout 3 GOTY. Went to Brentwood Best Buy who PM"d it, even without an ad or print out. Had to get re-routed to customer service but it went through no problem.

Anyone see any cheap PSP system lying about lately? MSU posted a deal at TRU in Chesterfield a couple weeks back, but if anyone has seen any a bit more recently PM me.

Thanks for the Target updates Killbomb!

[cvraider]

Picked up the last rock band bundle at the fenton location this past thursday. Check other wal-marts around the area. Comes with rock band game and a 4gb pro duo memory stick. Not a bad deal since the 3000 core alone is already 169.99 without any games. Also check the ratchet and clank bundle . I thought someone posted that bundle was also 139.99. Happy hunting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[destro4eva]

Took my lunch and hit up TRU in Chesterfield. All the clearance 2000 PSP units( all 2 of them, per MSU H-man) were gone. Was a long shot I know.

Anyone sees these again this low, PM me.

Thanks.

[dino88]

Hey guys. I was at the Florissant store last night and picked up Fable II (14.98) and Mass Effect (13.98). I was also able to use the $10 off coupon (found in the deals forum...buy 2 get $10 off). Both games for $20. They still had 1 copy each if anyone else is interested.

[Kezmer]

The new MicroCenter store in Brentwood had 3 month Xbox Live cards for 9.99, also 1600 point cards for 12.99 and 4000 point cards for 39.99. 3 1600 cars seem to be a good deal there. also had refurbished 360 controllers for 24.99

Brentwood target also had Red Faction Guerrilla in the case locked up for 19.98

[shrike4242]

:shock:

Holy crap. We have a MicroCenter out here?

Highway 40 re-opening can't get here quick enough if we have one of those out there.

[thabizzle]

i got a coupon for a free 4gb flash drive or sdhc card from microcenter in the mail yesterday. im cashing that in as well as picking up a 1600 point card. Ah, another place for deals...

[Banjora]

A Microcenter finally nice. More places more deals hopefully.

[Kezmer]

Yeah I have to say It is a really nice store. I never got the coupon for the free 4GB flash drive but maybe it will show up in the mailbox.

I grabbed a 100 pack of dvd -R's for 20 bucks and a pack of 50 large cd holders for 12.99. I havent seen any deals on them since CompUSA closed.

I also grabbed a few free MicroCenter Coffee mugs on the way out lol. The manager said take a few so I did.

I might make a trip back down for some 1600 point cards, they had a TON of them. they are the old ones in the bubble package.

[shrike4242]

Now that we have a MicroCenter out here, maybe we'll be getting a Fry's before too long. :lol:

I'll have to swing out there sometime soon and see what it looks like. Would be nice to be able to pick up some of their deals in-store when they're OOS on the website.

[Kezmer]

yes we can hope for a Fry's someday but at least Microcenter gives Best Buy some competition. In the back they have a massive board showing their prices on computer things vs. newegg.com I like seeing that !

[sendme]

Maybe we can some day get a Microcenter or a Fry's on the IL side. Only comp best buy has here is Ultamite Electronics and American. American sucks and will rip you off as soon as you walk in the door. Bad thing is they are full of former Circuit City and Ultamite Electronics employees. Ultamite Electronics is not what it was in the past and only has the larger items like washers, dryers and home theater gear.

[turls]

I was at the Big Lots near MidRiver Mall yesterday and they still had a decent selection of the most recent refresh of PC games if anybody is interested. I picked up the collector's edition of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway for $6. There's a thread in the deals forums where PCGirl is updating what closeouts are going where.

[Killbomb]

The new MicroCenter store in Brentwood had 3 month Xbox Live cards for 9.99, also 1600 point cards for 12.99 and 4000 point cards for 39.99. 3 1600 cars seem to be a good deal there. also had refurbished 360 controllers for 24.99

Brentwood target also had Red Faction Guerrilla in the case locked up for 19.98

Thanks for the update. Probably head down there tomorrow and grab a 1600 point card or two. Does Micro Center run weekly ads?

[thabizzle]

hey killbomb i stopped by Micro Center earlier. the ad i have is good from 11/16 - 12/6. i did pick up one of the 1600 point cards. they have a bin full of them in the gaming section in back. im going back this week for a couple more. that store is noyce....real noyce! lotta great stuf, lotta stuff that makes u go, wtf

[Kezmer]

Yeah I want to go back Friday on my day off, it was too much to handle in one day I think lol. There was a lot of things I looked at like what the hell is that and who would buy it?

I am not all to crazy about them having mail in rebates on items, but like CC I will just avoid buying anything with them unless it is insane.

Also Being a mailman I Delivered tons of the coupons for the free flash drive or SDHC card today. I don't know what mailing list they are using for them, I had at least 10 I couldn't deliver and had to send back due to people who got them that have been deceased for over 5 years.

[MSUHitman]

How would you get to Microcenter from South County before 40 opens up fully in Dec.?

[MSUHitman]

Also,
Manchester Target has tons of complete GH WT band sets and wireless GH WT drum kits on clearance for PS3 and Wii.

The Manchester BB also has the Rock Band Unplugged PSP bundle for $170, same price as a core system. Not as good a deal as Walmart had, but you're getting one of the best PSP games this year, a memory stick, and a movie all for free essentially.

[cvraider]

How would you get to Microcenter from South County before 40 opens up fully in Dec.?

Go to microcenter.com and click on the store locations tab located at the top. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Brentwood location. It will ask u for ur address and show u the best way. Probably going down laclede station road would be ur best bet to head that way.

[shrike4242]

How would you get to Microcenter from South County before 40 opens up fully in Dec.?270 N to 44 East to Laclede St. Road. Head north until you end up on Eager Rd. Should be over by Target, if I'm remembering where out that way it is.

[Kezmer]

If you are coming from Illinois you can get off downtown and get on market and forest park parkway, it will take you right to Brentwood or 170 (whichever way you prefer) It gets a little congested during rush hour but its not bad at any other time of the day

[Kezmer]

I don't know if the Hanley overpass is done over 40? last time I hit up that Brentwood BB it was a nightmare of traffic driving around the back of the stores to get to Hanley. Hopefully it is open now and back to normal though.

[hufferstl]

Hanley is done over 40, but its a madhouse over there. Hanley North to Eager makes no sense and there really isnt a way to get from Clayton to Eager without going around the best buy(from what I can tell, at least).

Here is a link.http://www.thenewi64.org/assets/i64/documents/2009-10-29%20EAGER%20REOPENS%20details.pdf

[Ryuukishi]

Holy cow, I did not realize we had Microcenter in Missouri now! And if it's really in the center with the Greatland Target, that is right on my way home from work. Awesome!

[Kezmer]

yeah I would just take Market st continue on the parkway to Brentwood or 170 down to eager and straight across if I was heading that way

[braves22]

What about from Telegraph in SC?

Sounds like a good deal if I can figure how to get out there...

[hufferstl]

From Telegraph, take 270 to 44 East and then Follow Shrike's directions.

[gamegirl79]

What about from Telegraph in SC?

Sounds like a good deal if I can figure how to get out there...

I would go the same way Shrike mentioned - 270 N to 44 East to Laclede St. Road. Head north until you end up on Eager Rd. I would avoid the area at rush hour if possible, though. Traffic can get pretty stupid.

I checked out Microcenter yesterday and it's pretty cool. Got a 1600 points card for $12.99. They have used games too - not the greatest selection ever, but definitely not bad.

[kurtmueller]

I would avoid the area at rush hour if possible, though. Traffic can get pretty stupid.


No kidding. If it's between like 3-7, just stay home.

[hufferstl]

Microcenter is a pretty awesome store. Think NewEgg, but in store form. I picked up NCAA08 Basketball (It might be 09) for $3.99 and four 1600 point cards. And a free coffee mug.

[Kezmer]

take as many mugs as you want!!! that is what the manager told me lol, I wont need a coffee mug for work for 20 years now I have so many

[thabizzle]

the guy that checked me out told me they ordered 30,000 mugs and the shipment was lost(?) so they ordered another 30,000. Meanwhile, the first shipment shows up, and POOF! Too many damn mugs! I took 2, but they can't compare to my Office Space mug!

[Kezmer]

I wouldnt even risk bringing such a nice mug into the post office. if its not nailed down its stolen. these MicroCenters are perfect though lol I wont be upset if they disappear

[otakuman5000]

I will keep you guys posted on deals In my area, Jefferson City.
