Indiana Deals Thread

[depascal22]

This sounds like a magical Target that only appears during the full moon or something.

[Rictor]

I was in the Castleton/Fishers area today. I went to the Target no one can find (near the mall) and saw they had a bunch of PS3 Rock Band bundles, for like $68 I believe. If I didn't already have it, I would have bought it.

Heh. I never have trouble finding that Target. Seems to get hit pretty hard for clearance deals, at least around Christmas. The toys didn't last long there when they hit 75% off...and there was basically a blizzard the day they were clearanced....I showed up the next day and everything was gone except the junk. Wanted one of those GI Joe playsets and a 20th Anniv. Optimus Prime, which were both still too pricey for me at 50% off. They had a bunch left at that price point. Probably grabbed by employees.

I did get the 3 Singstar PS2 games there for $7.50 each a month or so ago. Went back the next day to grab one for a friend and the other 10 copies total were gone.

[ObiBen]

I was in the Westfield Target and they also had the PS3 Rock Band bundles. They also had two charge stations for PS3 controllers for $5 each.

Were they still $69? I wouldn't mind grabbing one at $35 for back-up instruments in case one of mine dies on me.

Yeah, they were $69. Has anyone flipped Rock Revolution at Blockbuster? Any success?

[Rictor]

Nah, I almost picked it up when it was $6.95 or whatever for PS3 at a couple Targets, but I heard it sucked. Went back when I heard it got $19 trade-in but they were either bought already or shipped over to Goodwill because they were pennied out. Either way, no dice.

I've never had a problem trading in a game to Gamerush/Blockbuster for the prices listed in that thread though. Just remember they won't accept sealed games, you have to open them first.

[slidecage]

[Trollsmeesh]

Kmart News:


We have two PSP steals at the moment, along with a ton of other games on clearance, but I will simply note the best buys at the moment.

PaRappa the Rapper - 3.00

and

Dynasty Warriors - 3.50


They have been marked down to a cent, most people in electronics know to just treat it as a 90% off kinda deal, but if you want a guarantee, PM me and we can work out a day that I work.

*Note* This is the Kmart in Greenwood, located on the corner of U.S. 31 and Smith Valley.





Also, starting now, I am going to have a 'newsletter' via text, anyone that would like to be kept up to date on some of what we have or what we will have at kmart should just send me a PM with their cell number and I will send you a message anytime we get anything interesting.



Happy hunting,
Seth

[Rictor]

TrollsMeesh, which city are you in? I haven't gotten any K-Mart deals in a while...the K-Mart thread seems a little more YMMV/out-of-date than it did a couple years ago.

For anyone interested, I have a Rock Band PS3 bundle for trade in Indy. Here's my wantlist: http://gametz.com/usertab/Rictor/tab/AllWanted.html

[erehwon]

I've pretty much stopped going to kmart here in Fort Wayne. I don't really find anything anymore. I haven't seen much in the way of deals here in a while. It's also getting pretty hard finding any good games at yard sales anymore.

[Rictor]

I saw a Genesis and a few boxed games at a sale yesterday. System was marked $8 and the games were $2 each. Probably could have got the system, 2 controllers and 3 games down to $8 for everything, but I already have 2 or 3 Genesis systems and plenty of games. Same reason I usually pass up PSX systems. I saw one guy that wanted $10 each for PS2 sports games...heh. $80 for his PS2 system. Gotta laugh at those people.

[mynameis]

PaRappa the Rapper - 3.00

*Note* This is the Kmart in Greenwood, located on the corner of U.S. 31 and Smith Valley.


Dang, I live like a mile from that place and I never think to go there. I kind of forgot that Kmart carried video games.

[Rictor]

Ah, I was in GW on Sunday...I should have stopped in.

i did that last summer at my yard sale (ps2 system for like 70) was a newer system though and had a 1 year warrenty left at best buy.... If it sold it sold if it did not I would still use it....


same with the games.... Sold probally 7or 8 ps2 games for 10 to 15 each

[Tallboy2005]

Hit up G-wood today. Checked out Target first. They had nothing there, literally haha. Just 3 copies of some singing game in a box for ps2, I didn't check the price. I'm begining to think they don't do price drops on Monday anymore as I've went the last 4-5 Mondays and it's been pretty bare. Hit up Best Buy next. They had Madden 08 for 360 for $10 and I bit on that. Other than that, it looked pretty much the same. Sorry for the lack of amazing deals guys haha.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a controller for a Philips CD-i? I bought the system, a controller, and 2 of the 3 Zelda games for it. He said that the controller was a bit messed up before hand, and when I did some research for the CD-i, I noticed that the controller was different from the original. I have yet to hook it up, but am in the market for a controller. I've tried Ebay and had no luck, and there is a place near me that buys/sells systems, games, dvd's and cd's but they had pretty much any system except the CD-i. So any info for this is greatly appricated. :)

[Jasonofindy]

I don't really know anything about the Phillip's CD-i but a look at Wikipedia indicates that "the CD-i (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-i) interactive multimedia CD player features a wired controller that is basically the original Gravis PC GamePad in a monochrome, grey color scheme."

What does the controller port on the CD-i look like? Is it just an old serial port or something proprietary? It might be worth it to try a regular Gravis PC Gamepad. They should be easy to find and cheap as Gravis made a ton of them for years. If I hadn't tossed mine out in my last move you could have had it. At the very least maybe this is a lead to help you find a controller.


there is a place near me that buys/sells systems, games, dvd's and cd's but they had pretty much any system

Where is this? Is this the game store next to Wal-Mart and Joe's Crab Shack on 31 south or is there another store down here on the southside I don't know about.

EDIT: I did some digging and the Gravis won't work as the CDI used a proprietary port. Another option if you just want to play is an adaptor:

[Trollsmeesh]

If any of you plan to hit up Kmart, let me know. I can give a schedule of when I work and what not.



The other guys don't always give the deals that I do.



By the way, the names Seth. :3 In case you run in un-announced. :)

[Tallboy2005]

I was planning on stopping at K-Mart, but I was out of money haha. I'll see how my check fares this week and may make a stop in there man haha.

My philips console looks like this - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Philips_CD-i.jpg

And the controler I have looks like this only without the wire on the bottom (mine is that but wireless) - http://i.testfreaks.com/images/products/340x170/229/philips-cd-i.498149.jpg

So I'm not sure what the port is exactly for the controller. I'm guessing, underneath a flap there is a port that says input, so I'm assuming its that, but not 100% sure.

And ya that was the place haha. I asked if they ever get anything in for Philips CD-i and they said no they don't lol.

Yah, you're definitely on the list of people I laugh at. For other reasons though...

Question for you Naptown people. I have a assload of games I need to shed. I'm not a collector and I'm sick of having them around. I'd much rather have cash than credit because the last thing I need is more games. Is there anywhere around town that's worth bringing stuff to or should I just put it up on Craig's List or hold it until we have our garage sale?

FTR, it's mostly 2600 and NES with a smattering of Genesis, GBA, Saturn and I think a couple Sega CD titles. Nothing OMG R@RE L@@K or anything like that. Other than McVan's, Disc Replay and that other game shop outside of Broad Ripple, I don't think anyone even goes back that far anymore anyway.

Well unfortunatly man, whenever your on the selling end of a video game deal (unless the game is rare as hell or an oldie still in the box) your probably not going to get as much back as what you paid for it. I have never seen a lot bundled with games and systems sell well, if ever. So if your go the online way, I would suggest nickel and dimeing the games. If your planning on selling to a store/garage sale, I would suggest going to each of those 3 stores and getting a quote. After that, if one of the 3 sounds good sell it to the highest one, if not keep them for the garage sale. I don't garage sale often but the ones I go to never seem to have video games. From what I've heard though, games go for pretty cheap. I've heard stories of people picking up games for 10 cents. Anyways, thats what I'd do man.

[SteveMcQ]

Glendale Target: Wheelman and Rock Band 2 (game only) at $41.98 both for PS3 only. Also about 15 or so copies of The Incredible Hulk (360) on the endcaps.

How much was Hulk? I just bought it for $15 at Blockbuster new, just curious to see if I should be disappointed or not at my CAGness haha. :P

[SteveMcQ]

[Deewtaei]

Any Indy Cags take part in the $10 Best Buy deal this morning?

[JP]

I stayed away since I'm in the Castleton area. That store always gets hit hard by sales that SD/FW gets a hold of. That and most of the games I have no real interest in.

[Deewtaei]

I was fortunate to have shown up early at my local Best Buy (Greenwood) as roughly 2-3 minutes after the doors opened a large rush of people crowded the gaming aisle looking for the $10 games. I managed to pick up Soul Caliber IV, Bourne, Too Human, and Infinite Discovery and could have got a few others but decided not too. I wanted to get Pure, Comdemned 2, Red Alert 3, and 007 but there were no copies left when the doors opened this morning. If anyone can get a hold of the games I missed out on or has seen multiple copies at a particular store, I'd appreciate the heads up and/or purchasing them for me.

[ObiBen]

I was able to snag Bourne and Pure at the Westfield Best Buy.

Once I seen the ad to make sure that this was a sale and not a clearance markdown, which was about Thursday, I hit up the Greenwood Best Buy (sorry Deewtaei). I picked up 6 games on Thursday then picked up another 3 when I went today. I walked away with Quantum of Solace w/T-shirt (last one), Hellboy: Science of Evil, Infinite Undiscovery, Operation Darkness, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Universe At War, Supreme Commander, and Cliver Bakers Jerico. All :360:. Also, headed across the street to the Blockbuster and picked up the last copy of Bullet Witch for $5 from they're clearnce sale. Also Deewtaei, check your private messages, I have a bit of info that may help you haha!! :P

[SteveMcQ]

Secret info to gaming nirvana? Share if you would, please.:D I'll take a PM.

Yep, I actually had that final copy of QOS in my hands on the previos Sunday when I was checking to see if the sale had started (when it was rumoured to start on the 19th). If I had known then, I would've simply price-matched it as I knew that one was somehow going to be gone prior to the 26th. The only other game I was worried about not being there was Too Human as they only had 1 copy left but it was still there a week later. I'm surprised you didn't snag that one up as well.

[Rictor]

I grabbed a stack of games from Best Buy...was 3rd in the door and had my pick of pretty much anything I wanted. Got a Naked Bros. Wii bundle for my nephew but turns out he already has it...so might take it back or try to trade it. Got Dancing With The Star bundle for my g/f.

Went to the Sears in Castleton today...no decent clearance deals to report other than Guitar Hero III (PS2) game-only for $5.

Stopped by Best Buy in Castleton just to see what they had left. Pretty much just the crap games. They did have some of the Sing It / High School Musical / Dancing With The Stars bundles left if you need a PS3/Wii/360/PS2 microphone or dance pad. Can probably make your money back selling off the game.

Odd. I went to that Blockbuster a week or two ago and there was no $5 copy of Bullet Witch at that point...I would have bought it. Picked up 2 or 3 games at that store, I believe.

[Deewtaei]

Which Best Buy was this?

[DaddyBoJangles]

Hit the best buy in clarksville indiana, a tank from left 4 dead shoved me out of the way when the doors opened. Luckily I was able to snag Soul Calibur 4 for :360: I price matched Infinite Undiscovery at the local wal-mart. Im going to try price matching meiers on a few later today.

[Tallboy2005]

I picked up Too Human a few weeks ago from Target clearance for $15. :/

Odd. I went to that Blockbuster a week or two ago and there was no $5 copy of Bullet Witch at that point...I would have bought it. Picked up 2 or 3 games at that store, I believe.

I hadn't seen it prior either, and it wasn't marked with a clearance sticker either. Unfortunate thing though is that when I went to open it, I noticed that the side plastic was cut and sure enough the game was missing :cry:. Like a retard I opened it to make sure it wasn't in there. Either way, if I did take it back today, I doubt it would be hard to convince them that there was no game inside, and since the clearance sale is over, not sure if all sales are final or not. I figured I could spare a $5 loss haha.

[Captain Wrong]

Hey, we're doing the garage sale this Saturday. (I hope mentioning this here isn't spammy.) Got videogames, dvds, laserdiscs, CDs, VHS, etc., etc. It's a media extravaganza! If anyone wants to check it out, we're in Indy, 6115 Green Leaves Cr., which is near 62nd and Binford on the North East side.

PM me if you need more info and again, sorry if this is considered spam.

Wouldnt you be in town a week early since that film comes out next week?

[floormat]

in case anyone cares i was just at best buy on coliseum and they still had nfl tour, blitz 2, jehrico, rock someting games several ps2 games. Sorry couldnt remember them all. Tired too, just wanted to give some heads up.

[Deewtaei]

Went back to the Greenwood Best Buy today to see if there would be any restock of the $10 games and there were not. Instead, there were signs posted stating they would not give out any rainchecks and that they would not be restocking any games. So, I proceeded to the Wal-Mart on Emerson and County Line and was able to price match both Devil May Cry 4 and C&C Red Alert 3 with ease. I'm still looking for either a Best Buy with Pure or a Wal-Mart that will price match it.

[Rictor]

Wouldnt you be in town a week early since that film comes out next week?

Nah, press screening this Saturday. I get to see it early. :) I believe there are several places still giving away free tickets to screenings...I know X103 is tomorrow morning.

Anyone on the south side know of a deal for Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit? Saw 4 of these pop up on Craigslist today for PS3, PS2, Wii, 360 new with the game and all instruments for $70-80 each. Means it must be on clearance somewhere or these are stolen...one of the two. If it's on clearance...I wanna grab a copy for PS3 or Wii. Seller is on the south side.

If any Indy CAGs are still looking for Quantum of Solace for 360 for $10, the Castleton Best Buy got a shipment in today. Looked like they had 4 or 5 left when I snagged a copy on my lunch.

If any Indy CAGs are still looking for Quantum of Solace for 360 for $10, the Castleton Best Buy got a shipment in today. Looked like they had 4 or 5 left when I snagged a copy on my lunch.Thanks for the info. Missed out on the 360 versions, but managed to snag one of the last two copies for PS3. I prefer 360, but this will do.

[evilmojo12542]

Walmart on Lima in Ft Wayne has Singstar Bundle for PS3 @ 19.95, had about 5 copies out.

[foltzie]

foltzie left you a pm.

Will reply here in the thread to get the audience in on the suggestion fun.

The only arcade I could find online is "xscape" Do you know if that one is any good and/or any other ones you could reccomend regards on that front?

Havent been to xscape yet, it is locally owned and I found mixed reviews online. The only other arcade is in Circle Center mall downtown and it is called Gameworks. Gameworks is fun, but I dont recall how pricey it was the last time I went.

In regards to a hibachi restaurant. In Fort Wayne we have one restaurant and they charge between 17.99 to 24.99 for the full meal. In Columbus Ohio we found a hibachi restaurant that had a 24.99 for 2 special for lunch. Do you know of any hibachi restaurants that have good specials like that but still have good quality.

I recommend Ginza (on 38th Near Lafayette Road), its locally owned and reasonably priced for a hibachi restaurant. They dont have any lunch specials perse, but their lunch prices are ~$12 for one.

I checked out that Fastimes cart racing site. looks really neat but at $20 a race all I can say is ekkk. the best deals I can see off that is the unlimited racing on monday/tuesday night with membership for $50. I don't think I could stomach 50+50+35+35=$170 though. Thanks for the suggestion though. Anywhere else you can think of that balance the fun of carting with quality and price.

Thats understandable, I'm not aware of any slower (and thus cheaper) Go Cart tracks in Indy, the remaining ones are all of the high speed variety. If someone else can recommend one that would be helpful, because Fasttimes, while a blast, is indeed pricey.

My wife loves hitting thrift stores. Are there any good ones in particular you can mention?

I've heard good things about Value Village on Keystone Avenue near 52nd street. Broad Ripple also has a couple of thrift shops that specialize in Womens clothes. A walk around few square blocks there may be beneficial.

[SteveMcQ]

There looks to be a Dave and Buster's springing up at the old CompUSA store near the Castleton Square mall. Saw the lettering on the building off the highway, then saw them installing a big sign up front the other day. Not sure when it's gonna open though.

As far as go-karts, are we looking for regular go-karts? For that variety, the only other one I can think of is GreatTimes on the southside. I'm pretty sure it's still open, but it's been well over 5 years since I've stepped foot there. That also had an arcade.

[JP]

I saw the sign for Dave & Buster's as well. I thought maybe I just wasn't observant and it had been there a while.

[SteveMcQ]

I saw the sign for Dave & Buster's as well. I thought maybe I just wasn't observant and it had been there a while.Yeah, when I saw the big truck with the sign up front, I wasn't sure whether they were putting it up, or taking it down. Checked the D&B website and it appears it is a new opening. No date on when that will happen though.

There's also an arcade in Circle Center, but that's pretty dead. There's lots of machines there, but everytime I walk by, there's barely any people in there.

[floormat]

saw the dave and busters from the road. pulled back there just to see it under construction. arghhh. oh well. looking at trying circler center area tomorrow.

saw a gameworks in columbus ohio once, kinda like dave and busters. they had like a 3 story hot air ballon shooting something or other game there. was crazy looking. would love to play star blade alpha or star blade delta in the arcade again. haven seen that game in an arcade in years.

will look into the thrift shop place you suggested.

thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming.

[slidecage]

is that circle center the same its always been for years.. I remember going to indy about 20 years ago it was like maill on the first two levels and the top floor was something like an amusement park. games. some little rides (bummer cars ect)

really thinking that was so cool 20 years ago ...

[depascal22]

Anyone go to that Weber Grill place right next to the Circle Center Mall? It sounds like a good place to get carbon monoxide poisoning.

Weber Grill is actually pretty good. Though my favorite restaurant in that near vicinity is right across the street (Bucca!).

Unfortunately, they really toned down the Gameworks from the first 5 years it was open. The arcade was huge, plus they had the mech simulators, if anyone else remembers. They had the full enclosed pods that connected to a whole bunch of other machines (I wanna say 10v10) for a full-scale mech game. It's still a pretty decent arcade, as long as you don't go in expecting all the latest machines.

[Tallboy2005]

Thats understandable, I'm not aware of any slower (and thus cheaper) Go Cart tracks in Indy, the remaining ones are all of the high speed variety. If someone else can recommend one that would be helpful, because Fasttimes, while a blast, is indeed pricey.


There is another place on the Southside, about 5 mins south of Greenwood in Franklin called Rascal's Fun Zone. They have 5 go cart tracks (2 of those are for younger kids like 2-5ish), but the 3 "adult" tracks are pretty fun, they have 1 indoor, 1 normal and 1 slick track. They have an average arcade, no really good arcade games but if you have a few kids, it will hold them over. Heres they're website:

Do they still do 10 buck Tuesday's? My friend always kept inviting me to go there and I guess they let you play all day for only $10 every Tuesday, but I never went and my friend doesn't go anymore? Just curious if anyone knew.

Just curious if anyone knew.Yeah, they still have $10 Tuesdays (at least two months ago when I went after one of my classes). The thing with it though, is that if you plan on playing co-op with a friend or head-to-head, you can't do it sharing one card. There's a timer built in which prevents you from swiping the same card before 40 seconds are up, which pretty much locks you out of 2-player games. Business-wise, it's smart, but it's kind of a hassle when you just wanna go there and kill half an hour or so.

[Jasonofindy]

Also don't forget about Jillian's downtown for an arcade/sports bar/Dave & Busterish like experience. As far as thrift stores, Value Village also has three other locations. THe one closest to downtown is in Fountain Square. That Value Village is about one block east of the Duck Pin Bowling place on Prospect. There is also a location on 10th street a couple blocks east of Keystone and one 4 or 5 blocks south of 38th street and the Lafayette Square mall on Lafayette. As far as good finds, I've had the best luck with the Fountain Square location followed closely by the 52nd street location someone mentioned above.

There is also another thrift store just to the northeast of the 52nd street location. (Walk across the parking lot and an alley. It is not as good, but if you are there anyway.)

[floormat]

cool to hear about gameworks. sounds like that is the start of today. i cant imagine the 10 dollar unlimited play works with the ticket games does it? if it did then my wife would be overjoyed as well =P

as far as the circle center mall is there a parking garage somewhere? do you hve to pay for parking or get a ticket validated or something?

again thanks for all the suggestions and if you got more keep them coming.


now to decipher some of the thrift store locations. =P

[depascal22]

Street parking is usually available also. I actually prefer that to the garages for some reason. I guess it's the old New Yorker in me.

[floormat]

welp just got back to the hotel. tired.... i have never seen so many homeless people in real life.... not in chicago, not in columbus ohio. just wow. wasnt tons just kinda surprised me is all...

well besides that gameworks a bit of a let down. if it was just me i would have just played through several games but when my wife plays 3d games she gets a motion sickness of sorts... so alas was not there long. ate at weber grill. was excellant lil pricy but great.

went to value world and got some kids books.

went down to edinburgh outlet center south of indy and got a few things. eh.. couldnt believe they wanted 100's of dollars for "coach" purses.


gonna try xscape tomorow. the fashion mall and not sure what else....

something with the kids thursday night and if it isnt raining the zoo on friday.


LET THE INSANITY ROLL!!!


oh does anyone know if the 14.95 pass at xscape on wed inclued games, ticket games and puppet games and such???

thanks again all.

[foltzie]

Where were you? The only place that has a number at any given time is right on the circle because some groups pass out meals in the evening.

[floormat]

Where were you? The only place that has a number at any given time is right on the circle because some groups pass out meals in the evening.

by the state house, by the circle center mall, by that big monument in the middle and at several areas in between. from 10 am or so till 3pm ish

[depascal22]

That's the War Veteran's Monument.

[foltzie]

by the state house, by the circle center mall, by that big monument in the middle and at several areas in between. from 10 am or so till 3pm ish

Yeah, its either a food line or office workers taking lunch at that hour. Depending on the office the groups look similar ;-)

[depascal22]

Yeah, I'm not seeing that many homeless people around.

[SteveMcQ]

Either we're conditioned to the crowd here or you saw something we don't see that often. Though to be fair I do see a few around the circle, but nothing too drastic. They may be easier to pick out here since it's not as crowded, especially after lunch hours.

[floormat]

i dont know could be perspective as well. beggars, homeless and those thats you dont really know wether they are or not I lumped together.

like in chicago I know they are there and could find them if I searched but by the museums, miricle mile, navy pier etc... i have never seen any that I recall. Same with Columbus Ohio. I see more in Fort wayne but then again I have lived there 10 years and been to most areas of that town...

Bleh no worries... just an observation I guess.

[erehwon]

I was just at the Meijer on Maysville Rd. here in Fort Wayne and I saw some xbox 360 stuff on clearance. The one thing that really stood out was several of the red limited edition 360 controllers. These controllers were priced at $32, which is half off. I didn't pick one up since I only need one controller and prefer black. Just thought I'd give you guys the heads up before it gets posted on the main deals thread.

Cool thanks for the heads up. I believe Toys'R'Us had this in their ad last week for the same price, so maybe it just the current 360 accessory thats getting marked down. Now maybe for some Microsoft points.... :P

[depascal22]

If it's the red controller with the battery, I'm all over it. Thanks.

[Rictor]

Anyone go to that Weber Grill place right next to the Circle Center Mall? It sounds like a good place to get carbon monoxide poisoning.

Weber Grill is a nice place. Go there in the winter and you can sit by the fireplace and keep warm. They don't grill the stuff near where you eat...and there's plenty of ventilation wherever they are grilling. It's a bit pricey though. I like their grilled meatloaf.

Circle Center arcade is smaller than it used to be. Best deal is on Tuesdays where you can get an unlimited game card and play all the games you want for the whole afternoon. Not sure if they still do that...used to cost $10.

[Rictor]

Most of the Go Kart tracks around here have coupons you can track down for buy 1 get 1. Search Google and grab those free coupon books you see by the candy machines at places like Wal-Mart or in the boxes downtown. I've got one of those $15 entertainment.com coupon books for Indy, and I think it has some in there, as well as a lot of good dining coupons. The book paid for itself as soon as I bought it as I used a Monical's pizza coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 Free pizza...and their large pizzas run around $20. Awesome pizza, just expensive.

[depascal22]

I prefer Jack's for my local pizza. Also a little pricey but very good.

i figured it had to be a pizza joint i was just making a poor attempt at humour

[Kronodar]

The main forums mentioned YMMV 6.99 used 360 games with no covers. I just visited the location in Westfield next to Krogers on 31. They had quite a bit left but this is what I remember

Bully
Bioshock
Frontlines
GTA4
Condemned 2
lots of older sports games

Also there was a lot of PS2 games and I think for $2.99 each.

I called local stores around 96th and Meridian and Westfield seemed to be the only store to receive these.

[Rictor]

Any Wii stuff there? It's a long drive for me but might stop by if I'm in the area. Most of the GR/BB stores I checked when this deal came around the first time only got the PS2/360 stuff, no Wii, although I do remember seeing some of the crappier Wii titles at 1 or 2 stores (hard to remember now, as I hit up just about every BB/GR in the greater Indy area over the course of a month when I'm out garage saling).

[Rictor]

Okay, I stopped at three Blockbusters tonight.

Castleton - Used to be one of my favorite stores for games...pretty much everything is gone now. None of the disc-only 360/PS2 games.

Speedway - Had about 50 PS2 games for $2.99 each...nothing great...no RPGs or anything like that. Mostly sports, wrestling, racing, movie games.

Avon - Been one of my favorite stores for used games for years...they sent everything back to corporate. Barely and used games. This store had hundreds of used games just a few weeks ago. They had maybe 3 360 games and 3 PS2 games in stock at the $2.99/$6.99 price. I saw Guitar Hero II, III disc-only for the 360...don't remember the other games, except for some Arc the Lad game for PS2.

If I make it to any other stores, I'll post my findings.

[Tallboy2005]

I wonder whats going on with Blockbuster. I went to my local one and noticed that they had changed the layout of the 360 and Wii racks for some reason. I also noticed that they're selection was a lot less, but when I checked the used games, everything looked the same as the last time I was in there, hmm.

Edit: Nevermind I read the Blockbuster thread so I'm sure the explains a little bit of it.

[falcon815]

My local BB/GR rearranged for something like the fourth time this calendar year. I wish they'd make up their minds, though I guess it keeps the employees busy.

The "Independence Drive" BB/GR (31 and Worthsville) has a couple buckets of the disc-only stuff. The 360 stuff was mostly underwhelming, though they had plenty of $6.99 copies of Bioshock, Call of Duty 3, and Guitar Hero 3. Two Worlds was just about the only other title that wasn't a sports game.

For $2.99 PS2 stuff, notable titles included Kingdom Hearts II, and Guitar Hero II and III. Nothing else caught my eye (mostly movie games and sports games).

[Rictor]

I stopped in at like 4 Blockbuster stores over the weekend on the south side of Indy/Greenwood. 2 of them had no disc-only games. The store by the mall on 31 had a bunch of PS2/360 games. The stores with none said they still may get some in...might check back later.

I went to that store Saturday looking for 360 games and all they had were really picked over PS2 games. I'll probably stop in and check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the update.

[ObiBen]

Just got back from the Wal-Mart near the Glendale Mall on Keystone. They had a clearance area near the electronics. One thing that I noticed was $15 pack that contained a 2000 point Wii card and a cover for a classic controller. Just wanted to let you all know if anyone is interested.

Nice. Those were like $6-7 at the Wal-Mart in Noblesville at Christmas...someone here posted about it and a few of us got them at that price. I may bite for $15 if I'm in the area...although I have Gamestop credit that I should probably spend instead of cash on stuff like that.

I am 99% sure that's the store I found all the games at. I grabbed Halo 3, God of War II, Gears of War, Madden 09 (360), Grand Theft Auto IV (360), and some other stuff. They still had a couple copies of GTA IV for the 360, and I think there was another copy of Gears of War also, as well as a ton of other 360/PS2 games...a whole big table of stuff over in the other half of the store. I almost walked out without seeing it, as they also had clearance games mixed in in the normal game aisles, so I thought that was all they had at first.

I went there when they opened and they still had the really picked over PS2 games on an end cap on one of the racks. So I asked the guy if he had anything other than PS2 and they said that the PS2 is the only thing they have received so far, and they maybe receiving more in the next few days. Thanks anyways though!! That's not a bad haul you had there, haha!! :P

[erehwon]

I have a set of rockband drums for the ps3 I'm wanting to get rid of. I got them from a garage sale, but I didn't really need them or have space for them. It's just the drums. The pedal was broken when I got it. Tested what I could since I don't have a game. The playstation buttons work, but I wasn't able to test the drums. I'm asking you guys since I don't want to try shipping it and no one seems interested on craigslist.

Indianapolis, IN 46227-4630

I've got the whole bundle, factory sealed and haven't been able to get anyone to bite on Craigslist. Might just keep it in the basement and try again at Christmas when people start spending money left and right.

If anyone sees NFS Undercover dip to around $20 at Target clearances for the Indy area, please post. I checked a few places that had a whole bunch of them at $34.98 and they disappeared quick. Thanks.

[depascal22]

I haven't see any Steve, but I'll keep any eye out.

[SteveMcQ]

I haven't see any Steve, but I'll keep any eye out.That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I saw a stack of them (more than 20) at the Southport Target, but they dwindled down to 2 copies even though it was still tagged at $34.98.

[Tallboy2005]

I went to the Greenwood Target today, and I think I went around Monday or so and they had probably 40 or so games, and today they were completely gone. All the had game was was 4 Scene It: BOS for $31.xx and 2 of the High School Musical game with the dance mat (didn't look at the price lmao) both for 360. I was hoping to hop on some of them but I guess not now... I'll keep a look out for it though.

On a side note, I've been looking for this for a long time but never thought of posting it here. But if anyone runs across the Zelda: Collectors Edition that was made on Game Cube, could you please PM me or post on here the price. I'm working on collecting every Zelda game in the series and I'm only a few away. There's a few easy ones I can get a hold of, but the 2 hardest ones I'm looking for is Collectors Edition and the Philips CD-i game Zelda's Adventure (which I doubt I'll ever see). But if anyone can help, it's much appreciated.

No to be flippant, but what is wrong with eBay for those two items? At this point I think only McVans purchases (some Gamestops still sell) Gamecube games.

[depascal22]

Goozex might be your best bet for Zelda Collector's Edition. I know my mother in law has a copy but she won't even let me borrow much less sell it for her.

[slidecage]

people in fort wayne who go to delmar video... ever wonder why you dont see any newer games being sold in the store anymore.... ANswer is they sell all of their stuff on amazon now... I saw a nice pile of around 50 games and though Man love to get some of those for 9 to 15 bucks each.> worker said they now sell 99% off all of their used games VIA amazon

was looking at wild arms 5 (thought could get for 8 or so since it was scratched to hell when i rented it) had sticker on it Send to amazon sell price 29.99 LOL good one


have no clue how to look up seller via amazon to see what they have though

[depascal22]

No sign of NFS Undercover on the Southside.

[Captain Wrong]

Slightly OT: if any of you work at Castleton Square FYE, what was the deal with that guy in there about an hour ago? Sounded like this guy was trying to berate the employees into some higher trade on his CDs. It was really hard to keep a straight face while I was getting rung up because the guy was so over the top but I really felt for whoever was trying to deal with this guy and stay professional. Actually, it sounded like he was about five minutes away from being escorted out of the store by mall security. Hope he's not a regular.

[Tallboy2005]

If I can, I'd like to get it in a store or where I can see the game and condition personally, but I'm pretty sure online will be the way I have to go, just throwing it out there if any of you see it. :)

[Smokefest]

Southern IN resident looking to trade HL2, HL2:EP1, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat: Source, Unreal Tournament 3, Crysis Warhead and a few more games for a WARHAMMER TIME CARD ONLY. Will trade for a 30(the Walmart ones, $15) or a 60 day card. I would prefer to complete the transaction over the phone but will use other methods if I feel secure. It would also be nice if I could get an email pic of the card/code too but won't be required. Fifteen bucks for all those games isn't a bad deal. It just involves the legwork of getting the card. Think about it and have a nice day.

[ObiBen]

hey there indy cags. I went to the Target in Westfield last night. On clearance they had Prince of Persia (360) and Afro Samuri (360) for $15. They also had Fear 2 (360) for $35. They also had some Wii games, but nothing noteworthy.

[sleepydumbdude]

Sweet i have a meeting in Indy tomorrow so have to check if they still have Afro Samurai.

Anyways you might get lucky on Craigslist for zelda's collectors edition. I have gotten two from it one with a Gamecube and 12 games with it for 50 and I got it for 20 dollars with a sports game they refused to split up but still worth it. Sadly I sold 1 of them and keeping the other. Usually when its people who don't have a clue what they have.

[maxfisher]

Thanks for the heads up on the Afro Samurai in Westfield. I snagged one last night and there were 2 copies of it left, along with a couple copies of Prince of Persia. It's been quite a while since I checked clearance prices, so I hit up a couple other stores. 116th & 69 has a crapload of Guitar Hero 3 (360) for $7.48 each. They had some other games as well (I remember Left 4 Dead and Mirror's Edge), but they all seemed to be around the $30 - $35 range. Castleton store had a handful, but the only things I remember were Banjo Kazooie for $20 and Left 4 Dead for $35. Glendale had quite a few GH3 (360 again) for $15 and one Box Office Smash w/ 4 controllers for about $30. All of the stores had some other titles as well, but nothing that jumped out in terms of being a great game or really cheap price.

[erehwon]

Is anyone in the Fort Wayne area interested in Rockband drums for the PS3? I can't get rid of this thing since it doesn't have the pedal. I just want to get rid of them.

If there's anyone who likes to tinker with older consoles, I have a pair of coleco vision systems with the atari expansion modules. They're not in the best of shape and I don't want to mess with them anymore. I've gotten the expanison modules to work, but not the coleco vision part. These are for someone who is comfortable taking things apart.

I'm asking here to see if anyone is interested locally. I would like to avoid shipping them if possible. I'm not looking for much or just a trade. The important thing is to get them out of the house.

[kissinger99]

I wouldn't mind taking them. (drums) What kind of trade are you looking for?

hey gang, just got back from Westfield Target once again. I picked up FarCry 2 for $10, and they had three copies left. I also made a mistake in my last post. Afro Samurai is actually $25 on clearance.

Talbot Street Art Fair was packed today. I know it's not gaming related but sometimes you just gotta get away from the TV.

[Tallboy2005]

Hey guys, not sure if you know but Toys R Us has an unannounced deal. They have Prince of Persia (360) for $20. The tag said it's good from 6/12 - 7/5. Plus this week they have buy 1 360 game $20 or more and get 20% off another game $20 or more. Hope this helps. :)

is it just me or does all the targets in fort wayne just suck for cheap video games anymore.. Cant remember the last time i seen a good deal at target

Yea, it does seam like that. A lot of the time it seems like they only have one or two copies of the games that go on clearance, and those don't usually last till the good price ranges. I would have liked to get Mirror's Edge, but that disappeared rather quickly.

I wonder if we have to compete with a hoarder or just more customers looking for cheap games?

I wonder if we have to compete with a hoarder or just more customers looking for cheap games?

i wonder if target sends them someplace cause even crap PC games never fall under 50% and then disappear

[Tallboy2005]

Its the same thing around here, seems when games hit $41.xx or $29ish they just disappear.

[foltzie]

Target sends items to Goodwill at a certain point. Presumably they take a tax write off and I wouldn't be surprised if they recorded items sent to Goodwill at full retail. Thus they get ~30% in a tax credit and have no incentive to let single items go too much below 50%.

[Kronodar]

Still at least one more copy of Far Cry 2 360 for $10 at Westfield Target.

Thanks for your post ObiBen.

[maxfisher]

hey gang, just got back from Westfield Target once again. I picked up FarCry 2 for $10, and they had three copies left. I also made a mistake in my last post. Afro Samurai is actually $25 on clearance.

I'm guessing that's a mis-tag on Afro Samurai. It was definitely $15 when I picked up a copy last week and it's pretty rare for them to mark something down and then mark it back up. Maybe the tag for the drop didn't get put on all copies?

[Regian]

For those near Merrillville, tbere's a place called "Deals" in a plaza left of Circuit City on Rt 30. Saw sealed copies of Dead or Alive Ultimate and IHRA Professional Drag Racing 2005 for Xbox with a $3.00 tag on them. Both are BC for you 360 owners.

[maxfisher]

Didn't see it posted here, but if any other Indy CAGs used to hit up the Sears in Noblesville, it's now closed. Drove out there on my lunch after seeing some games I wanted to snag in the clearance thread and the sign's down and the building's empty. Had to happen pretty quickly, as I last hit it up a month or so ago. Kind of sad to see it go. Since it wasn't attached to a mall, the decent clearance games seemed to hang around a little longer.

[Captain Wrong]

Any Indy CAGs looking for the Target $10 GT5 Prologue and $15 Ratchet and Clank should check Glendale. They had several copies of each (and all the 360 Guitar Hero III you can carry.)

[maxfisher]

116th St. Target also had 5-10 copies each of GT5 and R&C.

[maxfisher]

Was at the Washington Square Target today and they had one NFS Undercover left for $12.48. Also had a X-Blades and HOTD Overkill for roughly $25 and $35 respectively. Their clearance is kind of in a funny area. If you are walking towards electronics from the store entrance, take a right at the main aisle in front of the electronics section. Clearance games are on one of the endcaps to your right at that point, in a section across from the actual department.

[SteveMcQ]

Damn, I've wanted NFS for a while now. Probably gone already.

Edit: Thanks for the info maxfisher. Managed to go this afternoon and grabbed the last NFS. It wasn't at that oddly placed clearance shelf, which bummed me out, but as I was about to leave I decided to scan the endcap with the rest of the budget games. Someone had stashed it with the PS2 games.

[Tallboy2005]

Well I've got some money finally and I haven't done my rounds lately so I'm going to hit up Southport/Greenwood Target, Best Buy, and a Gamestop (told a buddy I'd get a game to help with achievements), not sure which Gamestop yet though. But I'll post what I find hopefully around mid afternoon today. :)

[depascal22]

Greenwood Target didn't have GT5 but they did have two copies of Ratchet that I left for you guys.

They did split up their clearance so that games are on an endcap on the West Wall in the movie section and random electronic clearance are on an endcap in stationary. It's the most retarded thing ever.

First off I apologize for not posting when I said I was. I ran in to some relation while I was out and had a few things happen. I wish I would have seen depascal's post earlier because at the 2 targets I mentioned, there was no video games anywhere to be found in they're normal clearance spot. And the Southport Target has had ps2 games for cheap for the past month or so and then nothing really made it seem suspicious. Thanks for the tip depascal. I did quite a few stops today. Greenwood Walmart (on 31) had nothing that stuck out in my eyes, most everything for 360 was no less than $20. I stopped in to the Gamestop in the same strip mall and they had one of those table/bins with a bunch of $15 or less used 360 and ps3 games. About 9/10ths of the table was 360 and the other 1/10 was ps3. I grabbed Sega Superstar Tennis/xbla combo :360: for $10, NBA Live 07 :360: $10, NHL 2k6 :360: $7, FIFA World Cup 06 :360: $10, NBA 2K6 :360: $4, and Moto GP 06 :360: $7. Nothing really jaw dropping but if your looking for a few of those older games its not too bad really. Went to Best Buy next. They had NBA 2k9 :360: on sale this week for $20 which is the cheapest I've seen it new, plus I had a $10 reward zone card so I snagged it for $10. When to K-mart next and said hey to Trollsmeesh haha. Was specifically looking for a couple of games mentioned in the latest price drops in the official kmart clearance thread (p248), but they didn't have any. They did have 2 copies left of American Idol Karoke Revolution 2 :ps3: for $10 and Rock Revolution complete kit and game :360: for $17 which if you don't have it is quite a deal. Most places still sell Rock Revolution alone new for $15. I'm not sure how compatible the drums are with other rythem games though. Those places along with not finding a single game at both Target's in they're normal spots was all the places I hit up today. As, always I hopes this helps you guys save some gas hitting up those deals. :)

Didn't even realize they sold games there. It was a Sears Essentials store on 37, right? Sears Essentials stores have games?

I worked in Noblesville in 2007-2008...I would have stopped in monthly if I'd known that. I wonder if the tiny Sears Essentials store in Speedway has games.

Yep. I only found it last fall and went a handful of times. It had a good size game area and they were pretty good about putting the right tags on marked down there and moving them to the clearance rack. It was always a ghost town when I was in there, so I guess it's not that surprising they closed.

Huh. Kind of sad. I used to run the Sears clearance thread back when the 38th St. Sears was still in business (Lafayette Sq. Mall). That one was always a ghost town as well. The video games sections of the remaining Sears are a lot smaller. I find something in GW or Castleton maybe once a year. Never realized that Essentials store had games. If I'd known that, I'd probably still be updating the Sears clearance thread. Will have to check out the tiny Speedway store, assuming that one is still in business.

[Kronodar]

Targets at Nora Plaza and 106th and Michigan had several copies of both games. Not sure the exact price but they were below $14.

Need for Speed Prostreet - PS3
Prince of Persia - not positive but I believe for the 360

Has anybody seen Left for Dead for 360 at a Target in the Indianapolis area? I happened upon dozens of $12.98 copies of FEAR 2 at the West Carmel location, picking one up myself of course, but L4D is what I crave and I haven't seen it anywhere.

Thanks for the heads up anyway. I'm talking about the 106th and Michigan Road location, the area is known as the West Carmel Shopping Center. The Best Buy just south of the Target and the Blockbuster to the north are also solid places to get some deals. The clearance section at BB is in the checkout line, easy to miss.

Greenwood Target has FEAR 2 still at $25. I could've swore someone in the Target Clearance Thread said he got it for ~$13.

Anyone know if Smackdown vs Raw is worth $12.48? Target had about a dozen copies and they're not moving. Rather surprising for how wrestling mad this area is. Maybe the average wrestling fan can't find the endcap? I keed. I keed.

Haha, if it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't know where it was at haha. I seen that a few days ago and picked a copy up. Haven't played it though. If F.E.A.R. 2 drops to $12 I'll hop on it. If it's gone before then, I patient and have pleanty in my backlog to hold me over. :P

I hit up Southport Target and they had 3 NFS: Undercover :360: for $12.48, about 5 Ninja Blade :360: for $27 (Toys'r'us has it for $20), about 5 Chronicles of Ridick and another game (slips my mind atm I'll edit when I remember *edit* 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand) both :360: for $41. For :ps3: I just remember Guitar Hero: World Tour game only for $29, had a few various Wii and ps2 games, but didn't bother looking.

As of 7/2 they are completely wiped out. The clearance area is a wasteland.

[arbiter]

I keep forgetting about this awesome thread, has anyone been to the Disc replay in Ft. Wayne recently? are their prices still ridiculous? I may actualy get up there again soon.

Yeah, i go there every few weeks. The prices are not that far out of line. Higher than you'll pay private party or ebay, but lower than Gamestop or a rental store.

It's a good place to grab DVD's and box sets. I occasionally pick up $15-18 blu-ray discs there. I'd say the prices aren't that great on Wii/PS3/360, but iif you are looking for older systems, they have the best selection around.

They expanded the store, so now it's two spots in the strip mall...they got the slot behind Quiznos too, and extended the store, the middle of that new spot is all PS2, Xbox, GC, Saturn, and Dreamcast.

Also they resurface everything with a professional machine, not an old game Dr. I had them fix a scratched 360 disc and it was only like $3. Saved me 60 bucks...because Wolverine had radial scratches from the 360 drive.

In further news, Atomic Hobbies has closed both their game store at the mall and their DVD store (next to Build a Bear at Glenbrook) they are moving back to their old location.

Hey all, another update from the Westfield Target. It looks like they have all their copies of Endwar with headset for the PS3 on clearance for about $40-$45 if I remember right. I was sorely tempted to pick one up, but I'm on a buying freeze at the moment. Enjoy!

Yea, Cash America isn't that great. Their pricing hasn't been very good for awhile now. Neither of the ones I check every once in a while has had much in the way of game stuff. The only pawn shop that usually has a good amount of game stuff is the Lev's that is down the road from Hyde Brothers book store. The bad thing about that store is the prices aren't very good and it's kind of smokey, but at least they have classic and modern game stuff.

It seems they only have 50% of the stock they had 2 months ago when I was there!!

I hadn't noticed anything about McVans' selection, but I don't usually go in there. The main store on maplecrest is the one closest to me.

That's a pretty good deal on Lunar. Must have been mislabeled. Was it a complete copy?

[depascal22]

I think people are generally wising up since money is tight. More people are putting things on ebay or shopping around for the best trade in value now. I basically told my family to at least ask if a game was worth anything before they rushed into Gamestop to trade it in.

On the flip side, pawn shops have plenty of decent jewelry these days. Maybe problems have gotten bad enough that pawning video games just won't do it anymore.

[Kronodar]

I finally took some great advise from the Target Clearance thread in the main forum.

I asked the clerk at the West Carmel Target on Michigan to look behind the L4D GOTY versions behind the glass. He found a regular edition for $12.48 and there are several still remaining.

If you are interested and can't make it to this location, I suggest that you check your nearest Target and ask them to check behind the GOTY copies.

Even though you can tell the version by looking at the side of the box, I would ask them to pull them all out anyway just to be sure. I could only see four boxes but he pulled out 10 boxes from that rack.

Mike

[depascal22]

Good looking out, Kronodar! I might try that at the Greenwood or Southport Targets later this week.

[ObiBen]

@Kronodar that is awesome! I will have to remember this for future visits to Target!

how can you tell the difference between L4d GOTY and the 12.48 version without having someone open the case?

Hopefully these links work. You can see the difference on the side but it gets tough past three or four boxes deep.

Much appreciated. I went straight down to West Carmel and started explaining to the clerk what I needed, and rather humorously he was already two steps ahead of me. He said people had been asking him about $12.48 L4Ds all day and that the last guy bought four. Lots of CAGs round here I guess.

Anywho, he pulled every last one of them out and handed me what appeared to be last non-GOTY version, so if you want L4D cheap I'd look elsewhere. Clearance endcap still barren BTW.

Game of the Year and Greatest/Platinum Hits games sell quicker than regular version. Some people that might've been on the fence will jump on it because it's "highly acclaimed" or sold alot of copies.

I'm pretty sure Valve just wanted to jumpstart the process by releasing this now. It'll probably get the Platinum Hits treatment when the sequel comes out.

They only had one copy of some games, so idk if they will still be there. Wish I would of waited to buy Valkyria Chronicles for this sale. >.<

[Tallboy2005]

Thanks Depascal, I'm going to go first thing in the morning to see if I can snag that 50 Cent, and if that Tomb Raider is for 360, that as well haha. Depending on what I find at Target I may stop at Best Buy and hit up a few of those games (thanks SierraNight).

Just curious is anyone going to GenCon this year? For those that don't know, it's a gaming/board game/card game/little bit of everything convention that comes to Indy every year. (Heres their website - http://www.gencon.com/2009/indy/default.aspx) I'm planning on going (reason why money is a bit tight, haha) but if anyone else is going, maybe we could me up for a few mins or something.

Edit - I went and snagged 50 right before close tonight, thanks again!! Also Tomb Raider was there but for PS3. :(

[depascal22]

Valkyria Chronicles for $20 would be sweet. I'll be in Plainfield later tonight so I might be able to snag one. Anyone know if the Greenwood BB has any copies?

[Tallboy2005]

If you haven't snagged this yet, I'm planning on hitting up Best Buy for a couple of these games tomorrow, I'll take a look for ya and let ya know.

Edit - They had the game depascal but it doesn't look like Greenwood BB is doing the 50% off deal. :(

[Rictor]

Saw an Earthbound with half the label missing at a Half Price Books recently. Passed on it as I wasn't sure of the value of a damaged copy. It had a sticker that said "As Is" $14.95. Probably had a battery that wouldn't save or needed a cleaning or something. Went to grab it with a 40% off coupon a few days later, but it was gone of course. Seems like I could go in there every day and there is always new gaming stuff lately. Most prices are high...this was a rare exception.

I usually go to Gen Con on the last day (Sunday) if I can get in for free with my company's passes. I snap some photos for our website: http://www.downtowncomics.com .

I've got 2 Blink 182 / Fall Out Boy tickets for their Verizon Wireless Indy concert on Ebay if anyone is interested. They will probably go dirt cheap. I'd love to go but my wife's due date is Sept. 9, so I don't think she'll be up for a concert on Aug. 20. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130321410984&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

[Tallboy2005]

Rictor, I know its a bit pricey but here in Greenwood there is a Disc Replay that has had an Earthbound sitting there for a couple weeks at least. Its cartridge only, but looks in really good condition and sticker is completely there, only down side is they want around $80 for it. But if your looking for a good copy, its there.

There use to be a Downtown Comics around here, but they moved out long ago. I loved getting my pokemon cards from them way way way back then haha. :P

[Dr. Dib]

If anyone is ever down by Purdue, stop by Follets. They're having a 50% clearance sale on some games. I left one copy of LBP (which was probably the best deal), but there are still some deals to be had. Crackdown for $15, Burnout Paradise for $30 (I think), and Bully for $30 (or maybe $15). Some deals are busts, Resistance and Motorstorm are selling for normal retail price, but you may still find something you wanted.

Other games I saw: Rockband (PS2, PS3), some Naruto PS2 game, Dynasty Warrior 6 (both version), No More Heroes, RE4 Wii, Dragon Quest Swords (Wii), and a couple more games.

[maxfisher]

Stopped by the 116th & 69 Target last night. Snagged Motorstorm Pacific Rift for $30. They had two of those left, along with 4-6 each of Motorstorm Greatest Hits for $15, Madworld for $20 and Riddick for $30.

[ObiBen]

stopped by the West Carmel Super Target and they also had a couple copies of MadWorld for $20

[Deewtaei]

This is off topic a bit but does anyone know of any TurboGrafx 16 games for sale? Hucards and CD's. I'd rather not purchase individual titles via Ebay and Amazon and figured I'd ask locally prior to venturing out.

Thanks in advance

McVans in Indy, Ft Wayne, and Evansville deals in old systems and carries T16. Disc Replay does as well (but I dont think back to the T16 days). Gamestation in Broad Ripple also has some old systems, but I'm not certain how far back they go.

[ObiBen]

I heard a new GameStop will be opening up in the Clay Terrace mall in Westfield on the 15th. Don't they usually do a B2G1 free deal with new store openings?

[floormat]

well finally found that comic store on washington center road in fort wayne. There would have been so many tpb's I would have picked up if i had made it there for the 90% off. alas.

Please keep us informed on those super sales when they have them. Thanks.

[arbiter]

I went the day of the sale...they were wiped out. I guess there was a line at the door when they opened.

I still picked up $20 in TPB's, but it was common stuff.

I think they only do the big sale once a year or when the section gets too full. But they sometimes offer 50-60% randomly through the summer when it piles up.

They had 55% off of damaged tpbs a few days ago... Was gonna get some of the disney ones but when i thought hmm 4.00 or so now or .80 from a few weeks ago? Well i couldnt bring myself to pay that much... I know not a lot but still a big diff.... alas.

[erehwon]

There was a line when they did the big sale. There was a big line when it opened. I was near the end. I still managed to get around $20 worth. Isn't damaged stuff usually 55% off?

There is still a Downtown Comics in Greenwood. The only store we've ever closed was our Carmel/Westfield store.

Where'd you hear that? That would be nice...finally a store for me to visit when I get dragged to that outdoor mall...too many chick shops for me...I'll just park myself in Gamestop while the girls do their thing.

[slidecage]

going though my SPAM today.. Seems half price book had 50% off all CLEARANCE stuff last weekend

i did pick up 2 psp games today for 2.00 each

they did have

madden 2008 ps2 no book
tekken 4 ps2 complete
summoner 1 and 2 complete
digimon world 4 complete xbox

all for each...


they did have about 20 xbox games 10 ps2 games and 3 cube games for 2 each (no more psp games i picked up th eonly 2)

Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice and fifa world cup germany 2006 (both for PSP both for 2 each) Very nice

[erehwon]

I dropped by HPB during that sale. I picked up one book on clearance. I probably could have checked the clearance CDs, but didn't feel like it. I do take a look at their games, but they don't usually have much that interests me.

wonder if the video games were on sale.. i probally would of grabbed all of the ps2 and gamecube games for 1.00 each.... 2 is too much for most of them but a buck would of kicked ass..

would just tossed them up here for trade bonuses

[Captain Wrong]

HPB is a zoo any time there's a sale. I can only imagine what that clearance sale was like. My old store, we'd have people who would stop in two or three times a week and pour over the clearance with their lists. Ugh. Glad I missed that.

[floormat]

Hey ipfw's Was just looking to get a copy of win xp/visita and/or a copy of office. I know they offer the academic versions. If anyone can help me out please pm me. Thanks.

[slidecage]

ipfw has changed their rules and its harder to get the softwere now... and most of the times they have no clue what the hell they are talking about.. i signed up for a class last spring and was told this 40 buck package (had msft office , word excell ect in it) was all i needed for the

DREAMWEAVER class i was taking

well they had 1 used book left for 70 (new was over 100) so i got my book early..

6 week later when the classes was to start they go... You need this program for 400 bucks for the class

so they mostly screwed me over and now im stuck with a book i paid 70 for (They offered me 10 bucks this summer for it)

[arbiter]

XP is a deadend now. No more support from MS. See if you can still sign up for a Beta Key for Windows 7. I'll work for until March, but you'll have to buy a copy before it runs out.

Otherwise, look for a System Builder / OEM copy of Vista with the upgrade coupon. It'll be about $99.

[Rictor]

Did that Gamestop open at Clay Terrace?

I was hit up Half Price Books for the 50% off clearance sale. Found a few graphic novels for 50 cents and a bunch of baby books for 50 cents each. Grabbed a couple halfway decent DVDs for $1.00 each. They kept putting out boxes of fresh $2 DVDs when I was there. Much better DVDs than the crap they normally have on clearance. Lots of stuff that Blockbuster has for $5-12 used.

[ObiBen]

Did that Gamestop open at Clay Terrace?

I've driven by the GS in Clay Terrace a few times, but haven't gone in. It looks like it is open.

Where is half price book located? Fort Wayne?

Also Bluffton BlockBuster got in a huge restock from local stores for a Gears of War challenge they had going on, If anyone wants to take advantage of the B1G1 bluffton is the place to check, I spent all I can afford and there were still tons of good personal picks/flips left as of noon today.

There is a Half Price Books located in Fort Wayne off of Coliseum Blvd. It's past the shopping center with Best Buy.

I like the store, but I usually only go to check out the clearance book section. They do have a game section, but I don't usually see much of interest there.

[slidecage]

i picked up some cheap ps2 games yesterday (1.00 each) or 80 cents each after discount.

they got CONTACT for the ds for 18.00 WTF

sometimes you will find nice gameson clearance for 1.00 to 2.00 (picked up 3 PSP games for 2.00 each last month for 2.00) each

[slidecage]

contact for 18 and cant think of the other game... be nice if they start sticking some of those PSP games that been sitting there for a month on clearance for 2.00 like they did a few months back...

little interesting thing i found out... My room mate was going to get a job there but was told

SHE WOULD NOT BE HIRED CAUSE I SELL STUFF ON EBAY..

they said if she wanted the job she would have to move out.... Thats right IM selling the stuff not her

[Captain Wrong]

Unless they changed the policy in the last year, that's total bullshit. Obviously you weren't allowed to use your employee discount buy stuff to resell, but it was
more of a "don't do anything to cause suspicion an you'll be ok."

well it says right on the app (was looking at her 2nd copy) it states that your not allow to buy trade or sell anything if you do they give you 4 weeks to stop if you dont seems you will be fired

[Sinnbox]

That's amazing that there is a HPB in fort wayne I have always wanted to go to one, I wish I had known about it when I was still buying stuff to resell, lol.

I'll have to check it out next time i'm up there, see if they have anything decent to add to my collection.

There can be good stuff, but I usually only check the clearance stuff. I'm very cheap. I also have to be careful with what I buy, since I'm running out of room for stuff.

[slidecage]

they had age of empires 4 in 1 pack and the other age of something double pack but they were FRENCH pc games for 1.00 each on weds

[arbiter]

Disc Replay has a Magnavox Odyssey in their display case, looks to be in very good condition.
Also a silver PS2 slim.
A PSOne w/ LCD screen attachment.

[donaldtrunk]

Any FW CAGs know the status of the two GameCrazys in town? I made need to shift my Modern Warfare 2 preorder. I sure hope the St. Joe Center Rd. location doesn't close.

i still got a 125 buck gift credit card there and might run out sunday and see if they are doing the 30% off sale

[kissinger99]

Both FW locations are closing. I was in last night and they had just gotten the word. Refunded my preorders and said they wouldn't have much left for the clearance sale after they boxed up the stuff on their lists. Closing late Oct. they had a countdown display up which was kinda funny.

[ObiBen]

Are there any Indy locations? The only one I know of used to be at 38th and College, but it's been closed forever.

Nope, the closest is the one at the Plainfield Metropolis mall.

[Don Chubo]

So who's all going to the St. Joe Center store Saturday? Let's all go buy cheap games and then go out and get hammered.

[donaldtrunk]

I'll be at the St. Joe Center Road store later today. I need to cash out my MW2 preorder and hopefully pick up some older 360, PS3, and PS2 titles. I'm hoping for a cheap, used DS Lite as well.

[Don Chubo]

I stopped by there Saturday around 1 or so and almost everything was already boxed up. Lame. And none of you bastards were there!

so im guessing NO reason to go tomorrow ... looking for mostly Ds and psp games only...

sucks im stuck with 125 bucks credit and nothing to spend it on

[Don Chubo]

They were pretty cleaned out - they still had a few DS games on the wall, but not much.

[arbiter]

I was at the Coldwater/Dupont location on Saturday night. They still had a pretty good amount of used games left. Lots of PS2/GameCube/Xbox for $4-8 before discount.

[The Mana Knight]

Hey Indiana CAGs, long time no see? Anyway, most of you probably heard, one of the reasons I stopped posting here is that I did move out of the state a while ago. I don't think I'll be back in the area until late this year. Sorry I can't take away good deals from you all anymore. :-P I'll admit I definitely miss not having Meijer (where I use to buy most games at).

[Rictor]

Wake up, Hoosier CAGs. :) So I stopped at Disc Replay in Castleton and then Disc Replay in Avon this week. The Castleton game prices on a lot of stuff were half the Avon prices. Are disc replay prices set by the manager/employees on a whim or do they have a pricing database they use? Example: Elebits on Wii $3.99 in Castleton, $7.99 in Avon. Their blu-ray prices aren't bad...lots of $10-12.99 discs. Better used prices than Blockbuster on used blu-rays but a much smaller selection. Of course, you get the actual blu-ray cases instead of the lame Blockbuster rental cases though.

I then started looking at the vintage games and noticed the prices for the same game varied a bit in the case. I saw a SNES game complete in the box that was $2 CHEAPER than the exact same game cart-only. Seemed odd to me.

Vintage game prices have dropped a lot in the last couple years. Most of the common NES games are $1-2. I even saw a few complete NES games for $1-2 a pop.

[SteveMcQ]

Not game related, but damn that was an epic explosion near you Rictor.

[JP]

That explosion sucked. Felt it at our building, like a block and a half away from the explosion.
