TenneCAGs

[theq87]

I think it'd be pretty rad if someone with better image-generatin' skillz than me made a graphic of this. Y'know, to help us rep TN...

And a pun. Anyway, yeah, I'd be sure to include it in my sig.

Good day.

edit: If this wasn't supposed to be in this forum, my bad.

[dark_inchworm]

Tennesee CAGs for the win.

[karmapolice]

rep the TN

[GaijinTenshi]

I'll see what I can do in the Photoshop department.

Lower Antioch, TN Rep.

PS: What should we have on the banner? I'll totally be doing this blind without SOME guidelines.

[theq87]

Hooray! Uh, I don't really know what should be on there..just the "TenneCAGs" logo/text/whatever, and something relating to TN, I guess. Just anything cool looking, y'know?

[Odenat]

Wow I thought there were only like 4 TN CAGs well I guess with me thats only five so far :lol:

[masterh]

Six!
Seven if you count my younger brother, who's only made a single post.

Alright, I'm from New York, but am moving to Hopkinsville, KY next week. I've been told by my friend there that the nearest big city is Nashville, TN....so that's probably where I'll be doing most of my shopping. Any must see game stores, places to avoid, etc?

places to avoid: Nashville ;). I can't personally say that i've ever video game shoped in nashville. But there is a Rhinos in murfreesboro (about 40 mins or so away from Nashville) that you can use the trade 2 get 1 thing that most people from around here do

[theq87]

If it's some older stuff you're after, Nashville is actually pretty great. I swear by the Great Escape; they pretty much have any old random thing pertaining to gaming laying around in some box or another. I needed a Gamecube/GBA cable today, for example, and I spotted a first party cable for 3.99.

Heading up north to Madison, there's another Great Escape, but the selection is more limited and traffic tends to be hell on any mid-afternoon weekday. Along the way there's a store called "Gametrader"...their prices are pretty nuts, but you'll find some nice rare stuff, as well as imported goodness. I bought a copy of Earthbound there for $30 once, and I recently saw a copy of Intelligent Qube for $50. Lots of SNES/NES stuff, but like I said, the newer game prices are bad.

Other than that, you have six or seven EBs within driving distance...some Gamestops that never seem to have anything good in stock, TRU/Bestbuy/the usual suspects. I do wish we had a Rhino, though.

[demonlord6696]

Im in TN

[Odenat]

My home town is Chattanooga. Are there any good deals/finds there? I would imagine the CC and BB had some good clearance stuff. And I always seem to find rare/uncommon games at McKays

[specialk]

south tn up in here.

[swick]

Nashville represent! I finally moved back into town after living in Jackson for a few years, so I'm glad. As far as game shopping goes, theq87's right about Nashville - it's got some pretty great spots to find stuff. Knoxville's also really good - Plenty of the standard EBs and Gamestops, plus a few specialty places (McKay's is possibly one of the best stores ever) and pawn shops. Found myself a complete copy of Intelligent Qube at a pawn shop there for $3.99. Good times.

(Also, you know, if anybody wants to hook me up with a computer fixin' job, that'd be nice... Four years of tech support experience, yo.)

[guessed]

I do wish we had a Rhino, though.

I'd like to have one closer, but Murfreesboro isn't that far to go every once in a while (and there is a Hastings there, too, although I haven't dropped by there on my last few trips). What we really need are Fry's and GameRush.

I actually ran into swick at TRU last Saturday, which was a little surreal, since I had not read his post and didn't realize he'd moved back. We'd met a few times before when he was driving through town (stealing deals from true nashvillians, jk).

Hastings is garbage now for games. I did find Ninja Gaiden black for 19.99 today they have like 4 more if anyone is intrested. also had animal crossing for 9.99 if anyone is intrested

I was wondering if you go to MTSU Odenat? I'll be going off to college next year and im thinking of going there. It will be nice to be around rhino's. It's a good school too...

Not at the moment I don't. I know there is a couple that do go to MTSU that post on here. The video game shoping is okay here. It really depends on your timing. I've found Gitaroo Man and Scorch has found a mint VP.

[Odenat]

Anyone here planning on camping out for a 360?

[retail sucks]

North TN here. The Huntsville/Helenwood area. There are absolutely no store deals to speak of around here.

I'm planning to move to the Clinton/Oak Ridge area by summer 2006, then I can start taking avantage of some of the in-store only deals, like at Target and etc.

[Scorch]

hell yeah, swing this way and we'll tag team Rhino

[mietha]

Ok, am I the only one who DOESN'T like Rhino? The one time I went most of the stuff on the shelves were sun bleached (UV protection anyone?) and one of the employees was cussing more than I do, and that's quite a lot, with customers in the store. That was just a little too unprofessional for me, sorry. Besides the prices on almost everything were TRU out of whack. The only decent prices I saw were on some bootleg soundtracks (.hack and FFX-2). And yes, hastings, in murfreesboro at least, is utter shit for used games. They have no guidelines AT ALL for accepting stuff, so you are very lucky if anything you get there even works, and the prices aren't that great anyway. As for 360 camping, probably not I, but for anyone who is, the TRU has 12 non-preordered units. Not a lot, but if most people think they won't have any due to the fact that they were doing preorders, you might have a shot. They hadn't busted the boxes yet though, so they didn't know how many were POS core and how many were real. No clue if they will be requiring dumb ass bundles or not though. I would love to be camping, well maybe love is too strong of a word, but I pissed away too much money on the media play sale today.

[CaboWabo]

I live in Nashville, TN too.

BTW, if any of you find a premium XBOX 360 available in any Nashville area stores, please message me. I've looked everywhere with no luck.

[dark_inchworm]

I had never even heard of Rhino until I met my most recent girlfriend (a psycho biatch) in January. Her brother apparently did all his game shopping there, which was unfortunate since he bought games often and they hardly ever seem to have any deals whatsoever. Anyway, Psycho Girl and I decided to take a trip up there one day... and holy cow. It looked like those games had been sitting outside for years, they were so sun bleached. You can't judge anything by its cover, they say, but you can certainly flat-out turn it down... and I would not buy that kind of crap.

[Odenat]

Well I don't go to Rhinos for there selection of older games. I think most of us just use the Trade 2 Get 1 to build store credit to buy newer games or to get a system. I did find a gunstar heros the other day in pretty good shape.

[howlinmad]

Where not to go? Memphis. We have exactly jack and shit.

[Chrono81]

They have really clamped down on there trade in policy. It's still trade 4 qualifying games get a new one for free. You can try I only go to hastings for really really good deals I hear about on here. On another not who has a DS in Murfreeboro besides Scorch and I

The Hastings in M'Boro has shit for deals, the one in Clarksville is much better

[Scorch]

No, I still have it.

BTW, Rhino here in MBoro has Magna Carta for $49.99, they also have a used copy of Intelligent Cube for either $49.99 or $44.99..

[neudog]

Well myself and JJNova are both in the clarksville area. There are a few places in town, but we're limited. As Scorch stated Hastings is a good place, Target and the local pawnshops. Right before Thanksgiving there was a copy of Steel Battalion w/ controller for only $49.99 at the Money Tree Pawn Shop. I thought about getting it, but I don't have the space and the controllers useless except for SB.

[Scorch]

See? I would've jumped like a french whore on Donald Trump at that Steel Batallion.

[neudog]

Bad thing is that you might get the discount, but if for some reason it didn't work you don't get a refund. Money Tree seems to check things thoroughly before accepting them, but there are so many switches and buttons on that damn controller that I would't take a chance on it.

[The Swan Princess]

I live in Knoxville/Farragut and there are a few good places around here. There is a place called Games and Movies 4 Sale in Farragut where all CDs are $3.99 and the game prices are really random. I got The Suffering there for $4.99 but Enter The Matrix was $40. Game Haven in the Toys R Us parking lot is ok for old games but they aren't open on Saturdays which is when I usually go out.

[swick]

In my experience.

Knoxville has a number of places that I visit when I'm in town: There are countless EBs and Gamestops (Turkey Creek has both, West Town and Knoxville Center have both, and there are standalone stores scattered everywhere). Charlie's Pawn on Kingston Pike has some decent stuff every once in a while - I've grabbed KOTOR2 for $10 there, and Intelligent Qube for $3 (believe me, I was happy). Game Haven is generally way too overpriced for my tastes. McKay's is the big one, though. They're on Papermill Drive, near the exit, and have a huge selection of used games, books, and movies. I've spent a lot of cash and trade-in there, you have no idea. Hours can be spent here. Awesome place.

Nashville is also good. Again, there are plenty of EBs and Gamestops, four or five Targets for a good selection of clearance stuff, etc. The Great Escape is the big used-media store here, and they've got two - one downtown, one up north in Madison. Their prices are a little wacky, but chances are you'll go home with something. I'm still looking for a decent pawnshop in the area.

Memphis... Really, all it has is the EBs and Gamestops. The few specialist stores in the area have mostly closed down - there was this place called Boomerang's over on Mount Moriah, and another store in an old house on Summer Avenue, but I don't think they're still around. Memphis is pretty depressing on the whole.

Jackson, between Memphis and Nashville, is even more depressing. I typically cleaned up whenever they had sales or clearances at any stores in the area, because I was the only CAG there. The GameCrazy 3-for-$15 sale? Oh, god. Even so, the one specialist store they had closed down, partly due to the owner having no clue what he was doing. I'm glad I live in Nashville now.

When in Murfreesboro, I also like to check out the Digital Planets, but no one's ever mentioned them here. Hmm.

I've never been to the one downtown, but i've visited the one in north Madison for years. I actually picked up Snatcher on Sega CD there for $10 a few years back, back when the Sega CD was new. They're INSANE on action figure prices (I went through a period where I collected Mcfarlane's Movie Maniacs line), but they're usually decently priced on games.

When in Murfreesboro, I also like to check out the Digital Planets, but no one's ever mentioned them here. Hmm.

..Digital Planet? That's it? That's the only place you go? Cripes, whenever you're in town, get Guessed or myself to show you the other side of town - Hastings, Rhino (and their INSANE trade-in deals - Rhino has a ton of rare games, nothing over $49.99) and Media ReRun.. Media ReRun is awesome. Digital Planet's alright, I guess. I've found one or two good deals there, but the prices are so wonky. I went the other day and picked up two Forzas and looked at the back, one was priced $42.99 and one was $22.99. Just little things like that annoy me. I guess i'm still kinda bitter that they caused the CD Warehouse around the corner to go out of business.

[Scorch]

I saw a DDR Mario Mix in the Smyrna Wal-Mart today, it was sitting next to the XBox games in the accessories section, on top of some steering wheels and whatnot. It's probably still there.

[neudog]

I have a favor to ask CAG's in the Nashville area. I went to the Hollywood Video on Gallatin, in front of Great Escape, and purchased some games; 4 $9.99 games for $20. Well I got all the way back here to Clarksville and one of the games was not in its case, Auto Modelista; I know I should have checked before driving away, but I forgot. Anyways, I was wondering if someone could go pick up the copy they have on hold and mail it to me. I will paypal you for s/h (media mail). Also I will have to call the store to see if someone else is able to pick it up due to they might want verification/receipt. The reason I am asking is because Friday I am leaving to go to Ft. Worth and probably won't make it to Nashville until mid January. If you can help I'd appreciate it, but if not it ain't no biggie, thanks.

Wow i'm really starting to hate Rhinos. I don't know about other stores but the one in Murfreesboro is horrible. Do you really have to cuss every two minutes infront of children? They throw the games at you whenever they don't feel like working. And the other day I was asked to buy something from another store because they didnt feel like digging it out of the back.

[Scorch]

What's everyone doing about the TRU sale? I figure it'd be better to work together instead of competively.

[karmapolice]

I think we'd have to worry about people of fatwallet more. When I went to the $5 CC sale, there were tons of people with print outs from fatwallet hoarding games. I mean people with 25+ games in a cart... bastards.

[Scorch]

I hit the CC in Antioch the day after the CC sale leaked, I was able to get decent stuff. Ran into Guessed there, actually. I've only ran into one FW guy, and that was at the 90% sale off at TRU. I had gotten what I wanted earlier in the day (Fatal Frame on XB for $4, yay! also found a third party PS1 screen for $5) and there was this guy looking through stuff.. I asked if he's looking for anything specific because I had a few games in my hand, and he said no thanks.. I asked where he heard about this sale, he said FW, and that's what he does for a living, drives around, hoardes, sells the shit on ebay.. said he had already hit Antioch and Franklin.. needless to say, I said nothing and walked away.

Hopefully there won't be many FW people out there, there's only like.. four games I want.

[karmapolice]

Are all the games on that list really 9.98? If so, if someone see's: Killer 7 (ps2), Budokai 3 (ps2), Super Monkey Ball Combo (GC), Doom 3, Conker, or Darkstalkers. Give me a call (edited out PM me if you see 'em!).

[Scorch]

I think the only thing i'm gunning for is Area 51.. the others I want are FF 1&2 DOS, RE4, Unreal Championship 2, Wrestlemania 21, Conker and Pariah. But all of those take a back seat to Area 51, i've been wanting that game since April, it's awesome.

[mietha]

There's quite a few I'm wanting at the TRU sale, but I refuse to buy in advance and then price match, so there probably won't be much left. But, ah well, I did just get DW8 for $30 from gamecrazy, so i'll live if I strike out at TRU. And yes, there is a special place in hell for the members of fatwallet, or even (much) worse, someone that uses this site for that.

[Odenat]

I'm prolly skipping this sale. Don't feel like fighting holiday shoppers

[swick]

I work in Cool Springs, so I'll be checking out the TRU there in the morning - probably not until around 10am or so, though. I'm hoping to pick up Klonoa 2 for GBA, DDR Extreme, Romance of the Three Kingdoms X (the big one for me), and RE4 for Gamecube (the next big one). Maybe Killzone (hey, $10 is probably worth it). So, if you find any extras...

Ha, I was through there the other day. I think you guys only have one RE4. You guys have a ton of Area 51.. I might head out and grab one.

[Scorch]

The Murfreesboro, TN store (TRU) still had plenty of Psychonauts (PS2), Final Fantasy 1&2 DOS, and Golden Sun: TLA. There was also a ton of Doom 3 and a few Conkers left. No DDS, No Tekken 5, No Pikmin 2, No RE4, No Pirates, No Zelda: 4S.

[Odenat]

Yeah about the whole "i'm not going to this clearance" I lied :P. I got pariah, FFT advance, FF 1/2, Metal Slug Advance, Silent Hill 4, Pyschonauts, Conker and Metal Slug 4/5

[DucRam]

Another Nashville CAG checking in.

karmapolice - just came from the Bellevue TRU and they had a dozen copies of Doom3.

Everything on the TRU list seems to ring up 9.98 at all Nashville stores. I even got a couple of the Jedi Hunter controllers for free. Great deal - buy a $9.98 game and get a free controller.

The FW people bug me too. The local CC clerks hate them too. They know they are reselling everything on eBay and not giving others a chance to pick up a deal.

[Odenat]

the Murfreeesboro TRU is pretty much sucked dry. They have some GBA games left(FF 1/2, FZero, etc etc). I left a Darkstalkers there. They had a TON of Golden Suns

Kingston here.

I have so many places I could shop within a 25 mile radius its silly. I could hit Knoxville, Lenior City, Oak Ridge, Rockwood and Im sure there are more, but I just moved to the area earlier this month and Im still learning my way around. Oh, and the in-laws live in the Nooga, so I am usually down there every other weekend. So there are countless more places to shope. Yes, I love McKay's also, I have dumped a lot of money in there myself. Any other CAGs in this area that know if anyone has any 360's in? Of course, my hubby didnt want one until I missed my change to buy one. I was at the local walmart and they had some in, at the time he didnt want one. Now that I cant find one, go figure, he wants one.

[swick]

Made it to the Cool Springs TRU around 10 this morning, and discovered that absolutely nothing was marked. The prices were still good, though! Managed to get Romance X, RE4, and Killzone. Even better, I used a giftcard that I've had for forever on the deal, so no cash out of pocket for me. Still looking for DDR Extreme and Klonoa 2 GBA, though.

Off-topic, does anyone know of any computer tech job openings in the 'boro? Rent's cheap over there, so I was thinking of moving.

[Odenat]

I'm gonna give local Nashville/Murfreesboro area people first dibs on some of the stuff I picked up at TRU. I have DDS, Metal Slug 4/5, Pikmin 2, Romance X. The Antioch TRU still has some Metal Slug 4/5, Romance X and 3-5 Advance Wars II

[arthurRWD]

hi there,


I live in Shattanooga, here's what I know:

The Toys R Us at Hamilton Place doesn't have anything worth a crap.

The TRU at Northgate Mall has a few things left worth a look (psychonauts, pop:warrior within) but that was this weekend, I'm going there today as well.

Mediaplay had a few goodies that I spotted, all PS2 mostly: Killer 7, Darkwatch (1 copy left Friday), Destroy All Humans (XBOX as well), and a couple other giver or take titles.

[Odenat]

I just got a copy of Rez from Rhinos. May be a good time to see if you can trade 2 for 1 and get it. They also had Gitaroo Man. Nice games to pick up even if they are reprinted

Good luck finding anything to buy. I was at the 100 Oaks Media Play over XMas and it was pretty picked over and looked nearly ready to close. It's a shame too. I used to spend a lot of money there before going to the Regal Hollywood 27 to see movies.

well that sucks, b/c if they're still open i'm gonna have to find something to buy or i'm stuck with credit.

[guessed]

You could try Hickory Hollow or Rivergate. Between the 3 there might be something worth getting. I didn't get much of anything because even with the sale most of the prices on what was available ranged from moderately good deal to still too expensive, but if you have credit to burn instead of spending cash, then it'd be worth it. Out of curiousity, roughly how much credit are we talking about? Enough to bid on master chief? (would they even take credit for that?)

[specialk]

30 to 40 bucks, irc.

I got it when i unloaded some of my old ps1 games there when they had the killer trade-ins.

If I got a game or some DVDs I'd be happy, just something.

Also, is the one at Hickory Hollow near Hickory Hollow mall? It'd be nice to swing by the mall if I make it up that way (that store Sports Seasons always has some good stuff)

It is. I don't know where you're coming from, but if you head towards the mall from I-24, it's past it and on the right after half a mile or so. After the Kroger's, I guess. They've actually still got a few decent things, though their stock is diminishing pretty rapidly.

[specialk]

I come from 65 south, and then turn off at the exit and the mall's a few miles from there on the left (right after an underpass)..I just may check it out...is it in the same shopping area as the mall or just on the same road?

did they have many games left? also what's the sale on the games? if i can't use it on games i'll go dvds..

[matowest]

you could hit up the TRU down there, too. It's one of the ones that is closing and apparently has some good deals on game accessories.

Like I said, it's past the mall about half a mile and on the right. A few games left, not many - they're getting pretty bare this late in the game. Everything's around 50% right now, though.

Hey all you Nashvillians wanted to give ya'll a heads up for any who want Guitar Hero and can't find it. The Best Buy here in Clarksville has 10 copies left. This is confirmed as of Jan. 17 @ 2 p.m. and it will be one less tomorrow afternoon... :rofl:

[reluctant00]

Just moved back into town from Carbondale, IL after graduating college. I've been consoleless since the Dreamcast and the plan was to save up for a next-gen system after getting a job(still looking, by the by) but my mom dropped a PS2 in my lap. Not lookin' a gift horse in the mouth, so I'm keepin' it and trying to get in on all the games I missed. Any shout outs from other Chattavegas members would be appreciated.

[JJNova]

For anyone in clarksville that might care in the slightest, K-Mart on Wilma Rudolph and the Big K out in Sango still have a few e-reader card sets floating around their electronics department. The Wilma Rudolph store has them all on clearance. Mario Party e-Reader is at 2.99 .

[swick]

I was wondering how the Hickory Hollow TRU close-out is going. Do they still have any DS games? More specifically, any good DS games?

[JJNova]

Hickory Hollow is the one in Antioch right? If so, yes, they have plenty of games. The DS games are only marked at 10 percent off, so they really aren't flying off the shelves. They are also charging 20 a foot for Gondola displays and 70-85 dollars for sliding glass doors (which require you to have a gondola).

All in all it was a disappointing experience. The store has sold plenty of items though, as all the outside shelves have been emptied and pushed more towards the center. I picked up GUN for 20 percent off (paid 26).

GBA games are the same way. Just a small percentage off at the time. I wound up just getting GUN, a Nintendo Themed Uno card game, wrapping papaer, batteries, and a Poker set.

I'll go back in about 2 weeks to pick through the lefovers at a more discounted rate. I was there this last Saturday (yesterday).

[thamaster24]

Can't believe I've never seen this thread. Wow, didn't think there were this many people from Tenn

[neudog]

Nashvillians went to my local Toys R Us and picked up the 12 month live w/ Mech Assault pack for $23; there was still one left after I bought mine. So you might want to check your stores.

[specialk]

probably a little late, but which is your local TRU?

[theq87]

Oh yeah. Odenat, I've played me some Culdcept over last summer, beat the story mode and haven't really touched it since then. I'm in Nashville for the next 2 months (goin' to Tokyo after that, aww yeah). If you have any luck rounding up some players, let me know.

More people should play that game; it's seriously great.

Not sure if you're asking me , but if so I was talking about the TRU in Clarksville and yes you were late because I went back to try and snag the last for trade here.

While I'm on the topic I was in TRU today and picked up Project Snowblind (9.98 PS2) and was hoping to get Geist. Well Geist was sold out, but the sales guy informed me that they will be getting some more clearence titles; only know of Geist.

[Ziv_Zulander]

Incase anybody didn't see my post in the main forum i'm willing to pick up Donkey Konga for anybody who wants it. The cost of the game game/bongos after tax is $21, not much of an idea how much shippinhg would be though.

[tayaf69]

I guess I should go ahead and represent as well. Hville, TN is my hometown and I'm going to MTSU! I would definately like a sig to represent TN.

Off topic....One question that I've been wondering...how the heck can I get rid of the CAGiversiary status? It's bugging me. lol

Ya, I have an apartment in Mboro with my friends. I go home some weekends since I work closer to Hville.

Does anyone know what the clearance prices are down to at the TRU in Antioch?

[guessed]

Scorch texted me, wanting me to post that the Murfreesboro Rhino has a complete used Phoenix Wright for $24.99, but I'm not going to do it.

I want! Damn, that means I've got to drive to the boro...

So you are the one that got it? Good.

Hastings has Guitar Hero (New) for $69.99. They also had a used copy of Call of Duty 2 for the 360 for $34.99.. dunno why it was so cheap, but it was. Wasn't a clearance rental or anything, just a complete used copy. They had a used PD:Z Collector's Edition a few weeks ago, it was also $34.99.

[mietha]

Dammit, I missed that post. I'm never going to get a PW... I just refuse to pay $50+ or whatever the hell it's going for now.

[swick]

Dammit, I missed that post. I'm never going to get a PW... I just refuse to pay $50+ or whatever the hell it's going for now.
Last I heard, the Game Crazy down there had a new copy. And if they don't have it now, they can always have another store send it to them.

Not anymore.

Mietha - If you have a cell phone, PM me the number and i'll send you a text when I run across a copy.. I seem to find copies frequently (I already have it)

[Scorch]

The Target here in M'Boro has 8 Guitar Heros in stock - at $59.99. I thought it retailed for $69.99, then EB and Gamestop at $79.99.. but sure enough, marked $59.99.

[tayaf69]

will have to check that out

[neudog]

For all you Nashville CAG's I scored a few things on Saturday when I was down. Here is the thread link to what I grabbed:
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1785174#post1785174

Also for all of you with PSP's there were about two shelves of UMD movies on sale for $9.99 at the SUNCOAST in Rivergate Mall; store is closing if you didn't already know from the SUNCOAST thread:)

[dark_inchworm]

I see your post, and it makes me weep.

For those of you who actually live in Nashville and would be willing to pick up and send the following items that neudog has so kindly brought to my attention, that would be spiffy:

Cool Springs Sears:
Wrath Unleashed $2.97 (Xbox version please)

Rivergate Sears:
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories $4.97

Old Hickory Target:
Star Ocean $2.98

Franklin K-Mart:
Mario Bros. e-reader cards $.40

I went to Rivergate on my lunch break, but they must have sold out of KH:CoM at that Sears (not really surprised).

There are still several copies of Starsky & Hutch (PS2) at the Rivergate BB, but nothing else (there was one Shaman King: Spirit Wolf (GBA) that I snagged).

[Scorch]

I hope everyone's alright after those storms yesterday.

I'm kinda worried. I think Guessed lives out in the area that got hit (but i'm not 100% sure), and I tried text messaging him 2 or 3 times, but I can't get ahold of him. Well, his last activity was yesterday at 6:55PM, so hopefully he's alright.

[dark_inchworm]

Yeah, I've been wondering about a lot of my pals... especially a girl in Lawrenceburg who I admired for quite some time; her area looked like it was seeing a lot of bad weather, and considering that her birthday was the day before and she just gave birth about a week prior... that would kinda suck to have your house hit. Though I haven't heard much about that area.

Here's hoping everyone's cheapass game collections are intact ;)

[Terabyte7]

I live south of Knoxville, and fortunately the storm didn't hit us nearly as bad as it was supposed to. My prayers go out to anyone affected by the storm.

[BABETOOTH]

I will be in Tennessee tomorrow and for the next 3 days mainly to visit Graceland. Are there any good gaming stores around or any places of interest that I should visit? They tell me BBQ food is great down there. Thanks in advance for any info !!!

[tayaf69]

I live in Hendersonville. It's crazy what all the tornado did. They don't show it on the news, but there are entire neighborhoods around me that are completely gone. I have some pics if you guys are interested

[Scorch]

Those of you in or near Murfreesboro..

Rhino has a new copy of Phoenix Wright for $29.99.. Media ReRun (a store next to Rhino) has a used 360 core for $249 and a used 360 premium for $349.

Matrix Path of Neo
Moto GP 3 (aka Ultimate Racing)
NBA 2k6
NBA Street V3
Full Throttle

Going back today to exchange a DVD I accidentally bought in FullScreen, but will probably hit the CC on the West side of town. Will try to report back.
Hope that helps.

Hopefully you'll get on the boards more, since you only have 1 post now...

but hooray for Memphis CAGs, I think that makes 2 of us

[Zygote]

I was in Memphis last week and visited a CompUsa closing sale at 385 + Riverdale. All games 30% off, strategy guides 60% off. Lots of XBOX, some PS2 and gamecube.

[Odenat]

so who in middle TN is camping out for a ps2 or wii?

[neudog]

so who in middle TN is camping out for a ps2 or wii?

I honestly feel every CAG should be camping out for the PS2... :rofl:

Seriously though I will be probably camping out for both. Already planned for it with the PS3 and now that GS is not taking preorders I'll have too with the Wii as well.

[Wolve11]

although i'm in KY, I consider myself a TenneCAG because I do all my shopping in Clarksville and I live just about on the border. Still haven't decided on camping out yet....

[thamaster24]

Ha, even though I won't be camping for a PS3 or Wii, it would be out of the question... in order to get the system, camping for hours, you'd be stabbed/shot/robbed by the time you got yours

[neudog]

For all you Nashville CAG's I was at the Brentwood Best Buy and saw the following "clearance" items:

- Prey: CE/LE (360) : $49.99; 3 remaining
- Madden 06 (360) : $19.99; 6-7 remaining
- Suffering: Ties That Bind (PS2): $9.99; 4-5 remaining
- Trapt (Ps2): $14.99; only 1 copy left at around 3:30 p.m. today
- Godfather Special Edition (Xbox) : $29.99; 4-5 remaining
- Madden 05 (Xbox) : $9.99; not worth it but I thought I would mention it
- Logitech PSP speakers : $29.99; 3 remaining

All these items are in the front of the store across from the "New CD" releases. Also I said they are clearanced because they had big yellow stickers w/ hand written prices.

[Wolve11]

hate to say it but those aren't great prices.
wish you could join me in flipping all those games neudog, i'm having a blast and making a killing in credit. I think a few of the employees are starting to catch on though. I may have to end up going to a GS/EB outside of our area. :lol:

I know they aren't as "cheap" as they could be, but I thought I'd share:) I wouldn't worry about the trade in, as long as you're not trading in multiples of one game you're good. I will he heading in sometime this week to trade in games maybe I'll bump into you. If I'm there I'll be wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat with a Star right in the middle front.

[Wolve11]

and all this time I thought you were a Titans fan.......I'm going to stop by the EB at the mall later on today to flip 33 games I picked up at the GS yesterday. I might go buy as many of the 33 games I can find at the GS at the mall so I can flipt those at another one of the GS/EBs elsewhere. I've wondered though if you can trade in the same game if it is on a different console.
Yea, if I ever see a guy at a GS/EB with a Cowboys hat on I'll say hi.

[neudog]

Ha, even though I won't be camping for a PS3 or Wii, it would be out of the question... in order to get the system, camping for hours, you'd be stabbed/shot/robbed by the time you got yours

Not that I'm too worried about this, but for those of you who are you should wait at Wal-Mart. I say this because at my store there is a local cop on duty 24/7, so you would have some protesction. Also with Wal-Mart depending if you're alone or with someone you can either sit your things down and have a clerk watch them or wait in the store until the other party went and got their vehicle. Though crime is evident throughout the U.S. there really wasn't any related story when the 360 launch. Good luck and don't forget those Flak jackets.:rofl:

The Titans are my AFC team, but second in my heart. Once a Dallas fan always a Dallas fan. I got to catch about 7 of the Titans training camp sessions when they were at APSU. If the organization had drafted Leinart I would have cut all ties with the Titans. Also if you do see someone with a Dallas cap at EB/GS make sure it looks like this before approaching them:

Did they have any more Logitech XBox wireless controllers? I went a week ago or so and they had those marked down to $9.99, I grabbed two (they're usually $39.99). They were white with the EA Sports logo.

[Wolve11]

Didn't see you today at any GS/EBs Neudog. Tomorrow I'm heading to the GS on Galatin Road hoping to flip about 50 some games. I'm heading to the EB at the mall tomorrow probably in the morning to pick up as many games as possible under $3.99 to flip. I'll have to update my list of games that are currently under $3.99 at gamestop.

Question for all my Tennessee CAGs:

Is there another place besides Hooters that you guys know about that serve breaded hot wings? I love Hooters, but I'm looking for a bit of variety. I recently went on vacation in Toronto, and a buddy took me to a place called Chaps, they had the best breaded hot wings I've ever had.

I know about Toots, Buffalo Wild Wings and Wing Zone, they don't have breaded wings to my knowedlge. I'm basically looking for any other bar/resturant that have wings BETTER than Hooters wings.

Representin' in Smyrna! Rock on TN CAGs!

Thanks to neudog for the sales tip at the Rivergate BB.

I went there last night and they had added GBA, DS, Xbox, GC and PS2 games to the sale rack (a rolling display rack that is sitting in an aisle near the videogame section).

I was there right before closing time so I couldn't take many notes.

Here is what I got:

PS2
GrimGrimoire 9.99
Okami 19.99

DS
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime 12.99

Remember - these products will vary from store to store.
Happy hunting.

New TN CAG here. Been lurking for a couple of months now. I live in the Smyrna/M'boro area. I'm always out and about in my area and I'll post any deals I may find.

[guessed]

GameStop
Hamilton Crossing
851 Hamilton Crossing Drive
Antioch, TN 37013
(615) 360-9520

They've been open a couple of months, and are having their buy 2 used get 1 free sale, until Sunday. It is a small store, not much selection, but if you are in the area, you might want to check it out. As of last night, they had a used Halo 3, some used Strangleholds, and a used Heavenly Sword, among other things. They also still had a new, sealed in box Bioshock LE (Big Daddy has a broken arm, but, of course, it can be replaced).

Located across the street from the Walmart gas station. Good luck.

There's a new Gamestop opening in Smyrna tomorrow. I'm not sure if they are having any kind of grand opening deals going on. I'm going to stop by there tomorrow and check. It won't be until late afternoon by the time I can get by there, but I'll post anything if so.

Wow, thats pretty crazy that I actually know someone here, albeit not personally. I used to play with your old band all the time Arthur, though not until after you weren't with them anymore.

We played that rediculously packed reunion show that you did though, so I guess we have played together technically.

Every once in a while, I browse Craigslist. I just came across this listing: http://nashville.craigslist.org/ele/543319961.html

Seems that three former Rhino employees (there was a Rhino in Knoxville? How did I not know that. I'm sure it was after my time, but still, I should have known) are looking to open up an independant videogame store near UT. It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this.

GameTrader by the Walmart on Old Fort is a great place to trade your games in, but they never have any good new PS3 games or get them about a week later than Gamestop. They definitely give you more for your trades though.

What is the deal with so many Craigslisters in Murfreesboro/Smyrna. There are always some pretty good listings in your neck of the woods. Never do find much north of Nashville. Ever have any luck on CL?

Hey folks, was at my Hastings in Murfreesboro and noticed they had a 60GB PS3 for 449.99

lol man i bought some stuff off of a guy from CL this weekend as a matter of fact.

Many times its college kids from MTSU needing some money so they are selling some of their stuff.

I found a Wii in stock in Murfreesboro,TN for my inlaws, i'll tell you guys if they have any more when i get back.

maybe he lied, maybe I just have bad luck but I called and the guy told me they had a wii in stock at one of the two gamestops here. I get there and he says he's already sold it,lol

wow, i can't believe i found this thread, i've been in nashville for about 6 months now

[st00ge]

I'm in the Maryville / Alcoa area. I keep hearing about all these clearance bins at Walmart for games, but the stores around here never have any. Anyone know of any WalMarts with game clearance bins? Mainly looking for 360 & PS3 titles.

Also, I notice that the K-Marts around here do not really follow the National price lists as advertisted on this site. I went to the Kmart in Maryville & Oak Ridge and they had Quake 4 for the Xbox360 for $39.99. Supposedly you can find it for $10 at Kmart. Anyone have any luck with Kmarts by them?

Holy shit! A fellow Maryvillian; I never thought I'd see the day.

Well, I'm actually in Knoxville now, at UT, but I grew up in Maryville.

Sadly, none of the Kmarts that I'm aware of, the one in Maryville nor the one on Kingston Pike, have any of these amazing deals that I've seen in the clearance thread.

Just came back from the Brentwood/Franklin Best Buy and snagged these on clearance:

$3.99- Def Jam Icon (XBox 360)
$39.99- Time Crisis 4 w/ GunCon (PS3)

[neudog]

Best Buy in Brentwood/Cool Springs has the following clearanced out:

- Time Crisis 4 w/ Guncon (PS3) $39.99
- Boogie (PS2) $4.99... might be $9.99
- Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest w/ Keith Richards Figure $8.99
- Transformers 2-Disc w/ 2 Mini Transformer Figures $8.99 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Z2oMMc8uL._AA240_.jpg

Also scored Earth Defense Force 2017 for $12 at COMPUSA Liquidation sale. My copy was purchased at the Brentwood one and there were two copies left. The one in 100 Oaks mall had a few copies left too at around 1:30 this afternoon. Items are 70% off and are suppose to drop to 80% on Sunday. The main items left besides fixtures are various Wireless notebook cards, Sound Cards, Routers, MP3 accessories, PC books, a few guides, limited quantities of 360/Xbox/PS2/PC games.

Next time I go to Murfreesboro I will have to drive around and try and find some of these game stores.

[Chaoticzer0]

Kingsport here =)

Nashville area rep! Live in Murfreesboro, work in Lebanon.

Lebanon - Kmart & WM never have anything (good) on sale or discounted. Only other option is a Game Crazy which is 1/2 way decent but you still have to know your prices.

Murfreesboro - I've lived here 6+ years and just discovered Hastings?!? WTF is wrong with me?!? I think we have 2 Game Crazy stores, 2 Game Stops, 2 WM's, Target, K-Mart, TRU, and finally a Best Buy... but no GameRush's. There is also Digital Planet and Game Trader but their prices are kinda high IMO.

[neudog]

Nashville CAG's the Target located near downtown Franklin had 3 Zunes for $95 at around 12 p.m. Pretty sure they're still there because I've found hoarders don't typically make it out that far.

[RamHawk]

Thought I'd post this since it is probably YMMV-Regional. I went to the K-Mart in Lebanon, TN today to do the free $10 GC when you buy a $50 GC. I was going to buy a game to just return and get the cash back - basically pocketing the $10 bonus. Well, I grabbed Surfs-Up for the 260 since it was marked $49.99 but it rang up $9.99! Woohoo! I may have to go back and get more. :)

Another Nashville rep:
The Best Buy in Mt Juliet (Providence) has several Wii and 360 games for buy 2 get 1 free right now. The games look like recent ones that have been clearanced at TRU, Target, and Circuit City. I can't remember the specific games but it may be worth a look.

Dang, I was just there at lunch today and I didn't see that. I had noticed it before that they had a bunch of games on a rack with a sign. Today it was gone. I've got $100+ in BB GC's burning a hole in my pocket that I need to use on things like this. :)

Also, I think you can go and buy $25 pre-paid debit/credit cards at Lowes with a $10 off $25 purchase coupon. Less the $3.95 activation fee, that will give you an extra $5 each time you roll that deal, plus you can use a 10% off games BB coupon (up to 3 games). That'd probably make the deals a little better.

Of course, I went to the Target in the same shopping center to use my $10 off any Xbox 360 coupon + the $5 off 25 purchase but they didn't have anything marked on clearance. So, I went to M'boro and used both coupons.

Kane and Lynch was $59.99 marked down to $39.99 - $10 coupon - $5 coupon + tax = $27.xx. Not bad considering the used price is around $35.

Let's get this thread rolling...
I found Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow yesterday at the Target in Brentwood for $24.48. They had 4-5 copies. I picked one up, although they could drop soon. I don't know what to expect with this new batch of clearance games (old inventory suddenly making an appearance) at Target.

Why did you buy it? Best Buy sells it new for $9.99.. they've had it for the longest time

I haven't seen this game in Best Buy in two years - this is a 3-year-old DS game. It's hard to find new anywhere at this point. If you have seen it, let me know where so I can return the one I bought to Target. Thanks for the heads up.

[JolietJake]

Has anyone ever found any good deals in the Rivergate area? I never find any good clearance stuff (if any at all) in any of the Rivergate stores.

[Imallvol7]

Any MEMPHIS CAGers?

[postureking]

The Target in Rivergate is okay, but Circuit City and Sears are pretty much cleared out. I was told that someone has cleared out the Toys R Us there when they have the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal, so they have very little clearance. I have not been in that Best Buy. Overall, it's hit and miss, with more misses.

[postureking]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good spots to trade in games in the Nashville area? Other than Gamestop, of course. I checked a Blockbuster today and they said that they did not trade in any games...

Yeah, not many places. You can try Game Crazy (Hollywood Video) but they are just like Gamestop. I've tried the Block Busters in M'boro but I got the same response too.

I've just ended up trading my games here on CAG, on GameTZ.com (http://gametz.com), or on Goozex (http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/join.asp?idr=561459185394). I think it just depends on what games you have and of course, what the demand is for it.

I did take advantage of the $10 bonus at Gamestop for any 2 used new gen games. I got COD2 and Cars for free AC at Target and I got $16.50 on trade-in. Doesn't sound like much but I didn't pay for them so it was an easy bonus.

[postureking]

Thanks for the input - I was reading about people trading Fantastic Four for $30 at Blockbuster, and it stinks that we don't have that around here.

[postureking]

I saw some clearance games at the Best Buy in Hickory Hollow yesterday. They were thinned out by the time I got there but I was able to find Dawn of Mana for $9.99 (last one). There may be some stuff there worth checking out - they're all on the other side of the movie display at the front of the video game section (front of store).

And thus continues the conversation with myself...

[RamHawk]

Too bad HH is too far for me. I generally check Mt Juliet and M'boro but they don't have too much on clearance or the clearance price still isn't the cheapest around.

I was able to get :360: Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for $9.99 after a price-match to Radio Shack's web site... since none of my local RS's carry any Xbox games it was nice to get a good deal at BB.
