Any one see any Guitar Hero Aerosmith at EB/gamespots ?
I want to use that %25 off Coupon going around!
$60 was to high for my blood
pm'd ya! I'll sell you mine.

[rmb]

Anyone seen any 80gb mgs ps3 bundles around the cities? I'm about to try and get 1 but if anyone's seen them LMK. TIA

[manthing]

I saw some at the Midway Target and Wal-Mart last week

[Davestation]

I noticed that Best Buy had some last week as well.

[Demolition Man]

Coon Rapids has a location as well near where the Shinders used to be by Northtown. They have a TON of older games there. Like NES stuff.

Not to mention eBay prices too. I've stopped going to the now named Media Xchange since a good chunk of their prices are not far off from what the same product sells for new at BBY/CC/etc.

Good deals, I will try the Coon Rapids one next week, I work in Fridley.

Don't expect any major finds at the Coon Rapids location at least for games. Most of the stuff is older sports titles, Disney shovelware, and that XBox music program.... and an "sealed" copy of SMB3 NES for the all low price of $99.99.

I have done well at the Coon Rapids location however in regards to used CDs/DVDs. Of course if you got the patience to browse around ignorant sheeple drinking overpriced coffee while yapping on their cellphones about their one night affairs, an fat woman laying across on the floor taking her sweet bejesus time browsing through the $1 clearance CDs, snotty brat kids running all over the place, people who need to look at every single CD and DVD on the shelft literaly, people who need to haggle over an $4.99 used CD, people upset that HPB doesn't have the latest whatever DVD/CD/etc already in used, etc etc etc.... then you might be able to find an deal or two.

For the record.... I witnessed ALL of that my last time there all within ten minutes.

Thanks for the heads up, I may pass that. Some guy at work was telling me that there was a used cd/video store called Cheapo's or something in Fridley off of 694 and Central Ave by Menards. Anyone here of it? I will try to check it out, I just am usually too tired on Mondays when I get off of work (leave home at 3:45 am and get off of work at 6pm) Not to mention on Monday some retard smashed beams on the Stillwater bridge and I had to drive to the Osceola bridge, that sucked....fucking retard.

[One4Deuce]

Burnsville Best Buy had a couple copies of MotoGP '07 for the 360 for $10. I didn't bite, not a huge racing game fan, especially with motorcycles. Also, if you're even the slightest bit interested in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Pride Bushido 9 was on sale there for $4.99. That's a must have a $4.99, one of the best events in the history of MMA in my opinion. And its a two-disc set, that's about 4 hours of great MMA action. Sorry for the off-topic rant but that's a great, great deal.

[rmb]

anyone looking for gh aerosmith 360 pm me and I'll sell it and meet you

Cheapo is alright... They way overcharge on anything new or that has been properly sorted, but if you dig through their new arrival bins you can find a few gems. I usually find better deals on used CDs from the Amazon Market place. On the other hand you can eat at LaCaseda as long as you are in the area (yum- expensive, but delicious mexican food).
If you are looking for some general crazyness (Not video game or electronics related) check out Ax-Man. Basically head North on central from 694. If I remember right-- It is just over the bridge in a stripmall. They are a surplus store and can have some interesting stuff.

[One4Deuce]

Not an incredible deal or anything but the Apple Valley Best Buy has wired 360 Guitar Hero 2 controllers for $20. They work with Guitar Hero 3 also.

I haven't been to Cheapo in eons but have gotten a few CDs from them that are harder to find. I'll have to see how well they are doing one of these days.... can't be any worse than Media Xchange.

And yeah.... LaCaseda is great! :drool:

[mgbasketball10]

isn't it La Casita? Or maybe they are different Mexican restraunts

[whiptcracker]

isn't it La Casita? Or maybe they are different Mexican restraunts


Nope, Cheapo is by La Casita.

Ditto on Demo's impressions of the Coon Rapids HPB.

And someone mentioned the Pirde Bushido 9 DVD, it is a great show if you're an MMA fan.

[One4Deuce]

There are lots of the 360 VGA/Component HD cables at the Toys R Us in Blaine at $9.98, with the 20% off clearance they come down to $7.98 plus tax.

[Davestation]

I checked out Cheapo's today and it was kind of lame. I've never been to a record store where it was so quiet. The staff did not even make notice that anyone was in the store. For music the place was alright, DVD prices where ok. I did notice that they had The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters for $27.98, no thanks. I also saw that Mexican place everyone was talking about.

Is this the one on Central? Yeah... been there too. Big store. No major find. Found better deals at Pawn American futher down on Central and 694 -- though kinda ghetto inside.

Yeah, thats the one I was at. If you really want to see ghetto, go check out the Target and Best Buy in Apple Valley. I wrote about it a few threads up.

[rmb]

Since everyone's been talking about my side of town I thought I'd mention, drive south on central to 40th. Star bar is there but right next door is a place called discount 70. Pretty much a thrift store but mostly target or other retailer items. Most stuff is open box or sealed. They have some games and quite a few gh bundles as well as some rock band. If willing to chance it they have 360 wireless controllers for like 15 bucks. they are by the checkout counter. Also the video games are in a case locked up. Most are so so deals. They ussually are an additional 20% off marked price. Had a new halo3 for like 25 a couple weeks ago. There are some finds there but don't get your hopes up. I grabbed rsv2 for 360 for 17 bucks 2 weeks ago.

[Demolition Man]

How much are they charging for the Rock Band bundles?

[rmb]

How much are they charging for the Rock Band bundles?
can't remember for sure but anywhere from 80 and up it just depends. Very hit and miss and depends on 360 or ps3. Personally I wouldn't buy one there unless at the 80 ish price.

[Demolition Man]

Very true. Especially with both GH and RB having new versions coming out later this year its hard to justify spending full retail on RB1.

Anyways....

I stopped by the Coon Rapids Half Price Books today and found a nice surprise. They have gotten in some factory sealed HD-DVDs that are obviously from Canada since they are dual English/French covers. Titles are between $8-10. From what I saw so far they have mostly Universal titles such as:

-The Mummy (1999)
-Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift
-Bourne Ultimatium
-Breakfast Club

I picked up The Mummy which is $8. An employee admitted that they might be getting more in soon as well. So for anyone looking for cheap HD-DVDs in the Twin Cities area check out Half Price Books. Never know what you might find.

Nice, I've still got the mailing list coupon to use as well. Thanks for the headsup.

[whiptcracker]

Coon Rapids HPB also had some harder to find or import Dreamcast games as well. Maken X, Record of the Lodoss war, etc, thugh you'll probably find better prices on eBay

[LuisRM]

Has anyone been to/heard of the Universal games(?) on Penn and 66th in Bloomington? It's right by a Taco Bell and Burger King. It looked like more of a place to play games, like lan parties, but I didn't stop in.

[Borenson]

Universe Games is more a table top game store. They have board games and CCGs. Not too bad a store if you like those things. They do have PCs for LAN parties and such but I don't remember seeing any video games for sale when I was there a few months ago.

[LuisRM]

Thanks Borenson. I used to be into HeroClix big time, but got out when things got confusing and they came out with a new set every few months.

[Borenson]

No problem. I have played most of the collectable card and figure games and quite a few board games. Even worked in a comic book and collectable shop in college. Now all my "crack" money goes to video games.

They also have an import copy of the first Sonic Adventure game.... not that it's worth much.

[Borenson]

I went to the Best Buy in Edina. Besides being the worst laid out and most cramped Best Buy ever they also have a ton of games at 50% off. I didn't make a list but I do remeber seeing Nights, Conan, The Darkness and Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition all for $10 to $15 each.

[One4Deuce]

http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=207307#CustomerRatings

That computer is going for $630 at Best Buy in Apple Valley, clearance. I bit on one, pretty damn good deal if you ask me.

[rmb]

anyone looking for a gamecube component cable the savage gamestop shows 1 in the inventory tracker. If you go to pick it up you will probably have to ask. Most likely they will say they don't have it. Make them check inventory on the computer. I've picked up several and all stores said they didn't have them, when they actually did. 4.99 used. They go for a good price on ebay. I sold 2 on here and 1 on CL for less than ebay prices but still good margin. I'd pick them up but they are 30+miles from me. Not worth it.

You do realize that this is one of their very first stores right??? Cut em some slack. Geez.

My friends and I call it the "Mini Buy". I did get my Garmin 205 with the $50 off coupon there so I can't totally complain about it. But it is quite small compared to all their other ones.

[Borenson]

I was just joking around about the layout and such. That is one of the oldest Best Buys still operating. Its store number is 5 so it is impressive it is still there. You do have to admit though it is small and cramped but that does give it advantages. It is for that reason they have the big clearence selection right now. I went back yesterday and picked up Conan for the 360 for $10, well, $5 after a reward zone coupon. They have tons of stuff still marked down. It is all because they need to make room for new inventory.

[Davestation]

Any CAG's in the Elk River area? I hear that Target is closing that store soon, and if its like any of the other store closings, everything gets clearanced out. If any CAG's are in the area, check it out. I do not want to drive there unless they are clearancing stuff out.

That store has been there since the mid 1970.. It was one of the original "new concept stores". Before Best Buy, they were called "Sound of Music". As with Ultimate Electronics used to be "Audio King".

[Cnordstrom]

Found a large stash of Wii Accessories on clearance at the Walmart in Willmar, MN.

Wiimote + carrying case = $25 <--- 25 left
200 Wiipoints + classic controller rubber = $9 <---15 left
Wii Classic Controller + rubber = $15 <--- 3 left
Various DS games + DS Case + 3 stylus = $9 <--- whole endcap
(best games Elite Beat Agents and Polarium the rest shovelware)

These are all in the Bensussen Deutsch & Associates repackaging set up. All the normal packaged stuff is listed at regular prices, but there is a sign above this end cap too that says clearance.

This is a small market and includes Best Buy and Target. Considering the amount of accessories and the few Wii's available (read: ZER0). They may go clearance too. I will update as I find out more.

[DarkSageRK]

Any of you guys remember Echo? Ya know, with those grating commercials on tv screaming, "ECHO ECHO Used DVDs and Games!!"

I don't think they know how to price their games. I don't think there's any uber-rare games there that they have. But they did price Skies of Arcadia (non-PC) at $15, and they priced Suikoden 3 at $40. So, clearly, their system hasn't been updated in a while. I only look for games I want, so I left their PS1/handheld games alone, but there may be some rarer titles for "cheap" if you've got time to spare, or you could possibly trade in some of your older games that are worthless...so long as they're Japanese-styled you should get a decent quote for them. (I got $9 for Y's which is pretty fair, considering that's what I paid for it on Ebay :X)

Just a heads up in case you're in the Northfield area and feeling lucky.

[BattleChicken]

I found Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii on clearance at the Eagan Best Buy for $23.xx

Not the greatest deal I've ever seen, but its nearly half price -- I picked up a copy. They had 6 or 7 copies excluding the one I bought.

[LuisRM]

Just wanted to let you know the Sears in EP had a Scene it left for $27. Do a search on sears.com to see if your store has it available for pickup. Then go in and buy it. It's full price online, but cheap when you go in.

it was one of the brooklyn center/brooklyn park stores! they said they had it traded in at multiple stores!

[nintendokid]

That's not a good sign. Even if some people have found a store that is willing to sell before the street date, the fact that there are enough used copies floating around to be noticed can only mean one thing: the game sucks, HARD. I would bet those are not the store gutted copies because a game cannot be sold before its street date, let alone being gutted, played, and then turned around to be sold as used before the street date.

I'm in the Elk River area - and yes, Target is closing down at the end of September. I have seen a few clearanced games,(not much to speak of) but come late September, you bet I'm going to keep an eye out. Kinda sad to see this Target go, its been the store I purchased my Wii, Gamecube and N64 on launch day :(

I can keep this updated with what I see.

[Demolition Man]

Most of the inventory will probably just get sent to another Target.

[sunnysky]

Bummer to hear about the Elk River Target closing. Now I'll have to travel an additional 10 miles or so (Rogers, Champlin, or Coon Rapids) to shop target. Sometimes it's just nice to stop at a Target, instead of a Wal-mart.

[mycrazybirdy]

Just picked up Madden 09 Anniversary Edition from Target off 101 and highway 7 in Minnetonka for 44.98.. They had 4 copies left.. Just a heads up if anybody was interested.

Sorry forgot to mention its the ps3 version..

Its closing because they're about to open a new one in Otsego. Its less than 5 miles from where the Elk River store currently is, right off of 101 on the way to the Rogers Super Target.

A little bit old news.. but both the Eagan and Apple Valley Targets had the Xbox 360 version of DBZ Burst Limit for $15.

I was at Eagan two or three days ago.. they had several copies. I was at Apple Valley last night, they had two.

Anyone have any luck with the TRU B2G1 sale this week? I'd like to grab Dead Space, Silent Hill and maybe Bad Company on the 360 if possible, but neither of the metro TRU's have Dead Space yet.

[Borenson]

When I called ToysRUs they said they were not going to get Dead Space since it is M Rated. I then went over to the Richfield Bestbuy and they did a price match of the buy 3 for the price of 2. I got Dead Space (PS3), Saints Row 2 (360) and Silent Hill(360). Just ask back in gaming before you go to the front and make sure the manager on duty will do it for you.

[rmb]

grabbed buzz quiz, saints 2, and, tiger 09. I got gift reciepts and hope to exchange for CoD WaW, or get credit to use on GH WT, or RB2 bundles.

[Demolition Man]

When I called ToysRUs they said they were not going to get Dead Space since it is M Rated.

Wha...... I swear I saw a LOT of M rated games at the Blaine TRU on Sunday. I'm calling BS on that one.

[Borenson]

Yeah, I thought it was BS too but that is what the kid I talked to say. He said some M rated games they get but some that are "more M", as he put it, they don't get. Dead Space is definately worth getting though, played some last night. I loved it!

Check the TRU website. Deadspace is on it. It stated a ship date of the 20th when I added it to the cart.

I just went to Best Buy for a price match on the B2G1. I picked up Saints Row 2, Dead Space, and Lego Batman (would have gotten Little Big Planet.. but i guess that is out next week). I had NO issues getting BBY to price match this deal. They knew about it when I went up to the register, and were very nice about it.

On a related note, The Eagan Best Buy is hands down the Best BBY I've ever been to.

[underliness]

When I had my free trail of Gamefly they seemed to arrive about 2-3 business days after they said it shipped. Shipping from CA to Minneapolis seems to be really quick. Just for reference I live about 25 miles or so outside Minneapolis.

This isn't really a deal, but wanted to let everyone know...(is there a better place for this?)

Turns out Best Buy in Minnetonka is now doing a midnight release for WOW Wrath of Lich King. They said originally they weren't scheduled to do it, but now they are!! They told me they didn't do any preorders for the collector's edition, so they will have quite a few of them. Time to use my RZ certificates!

I found Pure for the 360 in the Target clearance endcap. It was still $40, but it still seems to be retailing for $55-60 at most places. I got my copy at the Richfield Target and they had a few more. Rachet and Clank PS3 was going for the same price, but that seems like less of a bargain.

Battlefield Bad Company for 360 was in a clearance end-cap, pretty well hidden as I didn't even see it without the help of the employee, for $35 at the Target in Apple Valley.

Brookdale Target had 1 120 gb 360 hd left for $90 and 1 160 gb uncharted ps3 bundle

[syndicate701]

When at Target, look for GRID for the XBOX 360. It's currently out of their system, so it scans at $0.00. Of course they won't give it to you at that price, but I said I found it on an endcap with a sign that said $7.99. So she rang it up w/ a dummy sku and sold it to me. Game normally sells for $50. To confirm go to one of those self-price-check scanners in the isle. It will show nothing for the price.

Good luck!

Grid isn't even worth that price...

If anyone is willing to help a pal out, I'd like to get Civ:Rev and Pure for the 360 when they drop to $20 or less. If you see either one, I'll pay you back and buy you a beer for a finder's fee, assuming you're of age of course. Live in Hopkins and work in Plymouth.

Really? Hmmm.. so far I'm having fun with it. Esp @ < $8.

It seems the Game Reviewers disagree with you:

GameSpot: 8 out of 10
IGN: 8.7 out of 10
OXM: 9 out of 10
Game Informer: 9 out of 10

I'm still trying to find a 360 120 gig HD anywhere. I haven't been able to find one at CC or Target. If anyone sees one in the wild, please PM me about it.

I'm getting low on space. Too much rock band content.

I'm looking for the same. :(

[HeyBeerman]

yea, I'd love a 120gb drive. upgrading from 20 to 60 just doesn't seem worth it.

a PM (or just posting a sighting) would be appreciated.

did you read my post just a few up this page? I am sure it is gone now as I saw it before BF.

I think I hit that store the next day looking for one, (before I read your post) and I didn't see any.

I've been to quite a few CCs and targets with no luck. I'm thinking I may just break down and buy a refurb from Gamestop for $90, or do Amazon or something.

[manthing]

Guys, next time Gamestop has a % off accessories coupon, just get a used 120GB there.

They're $100 w/o coupons/EDGE,

It's what I did 2-3 months ago for $70, and I've had *0* problems with it

Actually I did the same thing just about 2-3 months ago as well. No problems to report here either and cheap!

Yea that store keeps the clearance stuff on the endcap closest to the pharmacy, right by all the overpriced hdmi cables. I am sure it was gone. Keep an eye out in the cd's and movie section as well. That is where I snagged scene it

Thats a good call -- its what I've resorted to doing worst case.

the only 'problem' with getting a refurb from Gamestop is it doesn't come with the data transfer cable -- BUT I can request one from Microsoft for free, if memory serves.. so that only affects me if I plan poorly.

I almost bit at the $90 after edge last night.. that's how desperate I'm getting for more space.

[BattleChicken]

Rogue Galaxy (PS2) is $10 at the Eagan Best Buy.

I bought one for a friend, and one for myself -- they rang up at $40, but they're in some $10 bin, so they marked them down for me. YMMV.

[One4Deuce]

Has anyone been able to score any of these crazy Target clearance deals??? I'm considering going to a bunch of stores tomorrow to hopefully get lucky. Any success stores? Or failures for that matter?

[manthing]

Define crazy

[nasum]

Target at 7 & 101
Spider-Man 3 is $7.50
DMC4 is $15
Bad Company is $12.50
Beijing Games was $21 I think?

Target at 7 & 169
PS3 GTA4 Big Boxes $63
Jericho for $40

Target at Excelsior and 100
Can't ever find anything in this store

Haven't checked EP/Chan yet

[not2worried]

Geez, I would have loved to pick up DMC or BAD Company for my brother in law for Xmas.. for his 360

I saw 2 Xbox 360 GTA4 Collectors Edition (Big Box) at the one off of 494 (Exit 23, dunno the cross street.) tagged for $63 if someone is still looking for that. Also a bunch of overpriced crap games and PSP Final Fantasy Tactics for $4.98. Dunno if that's worth it since I don't own a PSP but seemed cheap for a FF game.

Of you're list, the only one you have a reasonable chance with is DMC4. Most stores have over a dozen copies, but some stores still are at the $30 price. The St Paul Midway store had over a dozen marked at $15 on Monday.

You might get lucky and find NG2, BC, and Pure.

LO, HDD, Kane&Lynch, Condemned, Grid and The Club are all long gone. All but the HDD have been hit those prices in September.

[MAGfuz]

Has anybody found Uncharted Drake's Fortune at a target for what's listed in that thread, about the target deals? Let a lone find the game at target. I rented it and have to return it today and I liked it a lot.

I refuse to go pay $60 for that game at Best Buy or Walmart!

I almost bit on NG2 for 30.. glad I waited.

I ... MAY ... have hidden the only copy of NG2 the target I was at when I saw it was on clearance... so I just might pick it up.

I was waiting for DMC4 to drop to $15. I'm picking that up this weekend.

I've seen Uncharted for $30 around here.

[not2worried]

Vadnais heights had tons of DMC4 at $15.00
And I grabbed the last NG2 !!
Done shopping for the brother in law...

RB2 for $109, plus $25 GC.

scored one @ the bloomington TRU.

[duncecap]

Not sure if this is newsworthy, but the Best Buy in Roseville had tons of 360 Arcade Jaspers yesterday.

[MAGfuz]

Was it new? and if so where? I went looking yesterday and the cheapest I found it was for $40 at a gamecrazy, $35 with VIP card.

Yeah, it was new.

I saw it for $30 at the Midway St Paul Super Target a week or 2 back.


But it might become like the first Motorstorm since it's included in a PS3 bundle. Then again, the sales of a $500 bundle in this economy will probably be less than the Motorstorm bundle.

[NoobHammer]

Anyone have luck with the Rock Band 2 deal at the TRU in Maplewood? I don't even remember if it's still there but it was the closest one to me. Thanks!

[not2worried]

Yes ToysrUs Maplewood is still there.. I might call tomorrow to see if they have any RB2 in...All though I have RB2 and the RB1 drums, GH guitars... not sure what I would do with my old stuff...

[One4Deuce]

Not sure if there are any collectors here but the Apple Valley Good Will had like 10-15 Sega Master System games, 2.99, looked to be in average condition. Great Baseball was in there, it actually was a great baseball game for its time.

[NoobHammer]

Target in Stillwater has some decent clearenced items.

PS3 Grand Theft Auto 4 SE - 44.95
PS3 Drake's Fortune Uncharted - 29.xx


DMC4 was still 30 and I didn't notice anything else out of the ordinary but the GTA4 had about 6 or 7 of them on the shelf when I was there. Not a bad deal.

If you just want GTA 4 to play the game it is $14.99 at blockbuster video used. Also all $14.99 and less games are b1g1 free.

[not2worried]

Target Vadnais Heights had Guild Wars platinum edition for $9.99...
only two left...

[silver001]

I found Age of Conan mmo (6 of them) at goodwill in saint paul for 5 bucks. I think its worth the price for 30 days. which incidently it just enough time finish the supposely best area in the game.

Have you seen? X360 120GB HDD at CC Roseville, Maplewood or Woodbury?

May be easier to just get a used one at gamestop when they have their next 20-30% off accessories coupon. If you want I can pm you next time I see it.

[Idx86]

I saw several copies of GTA4 @ $14.99 on Friday night in EP Blockbuster.

Guitar Hero Aerosmith for PS2 and PS3 for $12.50 at Quarry Target (game only). They had quite a few copies left as of Monday.

Merry xmas to all the Minnesotans. hope you all had a great one. Alhough I didn't get any games, I did get a 1 yr subscription from my parents for gamefly (2 game plan) and a lot of gift cards to buy games.

Be safe and have a merry xmas guys/girls!

Oh well.

While rummaging around a Pawn America today, I saw they were selling used Playstation One's for 7 dollars. This was at the Pawn America on Rice Street in Roseville. I'm sure there are limited quantities, but I thought I'd post in case anyone else was looking for one as it seems like a fair deal.
