Kansas CAG Thread

[umcthomas]

There is a crazy and insane lack of good deals in the KC area. I look in bargain bins and wonder how the stores think anyone would buy what's in it. I'm not saying I "deserve" cheap quality games. I'm just saying that if I don't find some soon I'm going to start buying board games instead. In fact, I think I'm going to get Risk tomorrow (haven't played that games in around 15 years).

No kidding. The last "deal" I found was a full retail priced copy of Tetris DS and Persona 3 at K-Mart. Oh and I found a copy of WTF! for the PSP at Sears this evening for $5.97.

[CMorrigu]

It's even harder to get deals on board games than it is on video games.

[druciferwept]

Pickings have been awfully slim around here lately. I think the last awesome deal i ran across was the Hastings 9.99 and under on all used GC and XBOX games combo-ed with the "buy one get one for a penny" deal. Actually, Hastings hasn't ran a single deal since then--even on DVD's. Bumout.

[umcthomas]

Yes and no, I went ahead and bought Star Wars Risk at TRU today. It was $30 after tax. Not a deal, but cheap compared to many video games right now.

Where is this Hastings you are going to? I only see them in little Missouri towns once in a while.

I see good deals on board games in the toy section of Target from time to time on clearance.

[The Tick]

Heads up if anyone needs them. I was at the Toys-R-Us on 95th and Quivara this afternoon and they had a couple of the clearance $39.98 Xbox Live Vison bundles in the case. They must've just gotten these in beacause they didn't have them last week.

[Chitown021]

Anyone that lives south of the river might want to check out the Sears on Metcalf in Overland Park KS. I was out south visiting the in-laws and stopped in because we're looking to buy a freezer.

They have three of those wire bins with various clearance games in them. I nabbed 2 copies of Rogue Galaxy for $4.97 (none left), a PSP Phat regular battery $7.97 (none left), and a copy of DKC 2 for the GBA for $4.97. I looked in the glass case and saw a couple copies of Eragon for the 360, EBA & SNK Card Fighters for the DS, and I think there was one copy of Persona 3 in the case. I didn't see any prices and didn't have enough time to have them scanned. Also if you have little kids they had a section of toys that were marked down 75% over near the register in the Lawn & Garden section.

While I was there I ALMOST got a copy of the Sears markdown list. Got a quick peek at it but not enough time to get pictures/copies of it.

If anyone is looking for Blue Dragon, the Target on 119th and Blackbob has one copy left for $29.99

[umcthomas]

I'm still on my non-video game binge. In fact, I gave up video games for Lent. However, I have been introduced to a card game named Fluxx. I bought it in Springfield this weekend and highly recommend it. It is quite addicting. I'll let you know when I verify a local vendor for it. I also played some Stratego and Bohnanza, both good games. Bohnanza is kind of like Pit, only without yelling and without a bell.

I'm beginning to think this website is discriminating against the non-video-game games. I might have to get a board game thread started.

The Target on 12200 Blue Valley Pkwy (near 119th & Metcalf) in Overland Park had 3 more copies left for the same price after I bought one this morning.

[The Tick]

Hey Thomas, if you're looking for some good non-video game games I might recommend checking out Tabletop Game & Hobby in Overland Park.

A few friends and I get together once a week for some board/card game action.
Been playing a lot of Munchkin, Zombies, and Formula De.

If you haven't been to Tabletop before, the folks there know their stuff, and have a good variety of games.

Tabletop Game & Hobby in Overland Park.



Wow, the places I never knew existed. I'll stop by on my next MicroCenter run.

-T

[CMorrigu]

There's also 31st Century Games & Hobbies in Olathe.

[rdwd39]

Just FYI in case anybody wanted one, they have an elite system brand new at the Best Buy on 95th and Quivira. It's still priced $449.xx

[umcthomas]

There's also 31st Century Games & Hobbies in Olathe.

I'll check that out sometime too. I went by Tabletop today and they have 2 copies of Fluxx by the checkout for $14. I believe that's retail, but it is also supporting local business so I am recommending it as it is a fun game. In fact, if it were more mainstream, it would make a great Xbox Arcade game.

Anyone have any luck finding Wavebirds in the Olathe area? I think I pretty much scoured the entire place and not one store carries it. Bah.

I doubt you'll find any new ones. I did the same thing a couple months ago, and I had no luck at all. eBay is about the only place you'll find new ones, and they are expensive there.

I found one Wavebird in the northland about 6 months ago at Sears on clearance but haven't seen another one since that anywhere in the metro area. I flipped it at that time and now wish I would've kept it for SSBB:wave:

[Chitown021]

I was out running some errands today and I saw about 4 copies of Pimp My Ride for the 360 at the Circuit City near Metro North Mall. You can double your money (in store credit that is) at BB/GR. I'm not going to mess with it so I thought I would pass the info along.

[CMorrigu]

Picked up some PS3 games at Target. Lair and Warhawk for $40, Ninja Gaiden and Folklore for $30. One Target had Folklore on Clearance for $47 (Olathe, 119th & Blackbob), and another had it for $30 (Great Mall).

[schuerm26]

The Borders on Metcalf, (the one on the 1200 block or so, not the 90 block one) has a ton of board games for $1. As of this afternoon they still had a bunch of them. They are in the bargain book section. Even if they are marked at 50% off they are still $1

I got shrek scrabble, shrek monopoly, pirates of the caribbean monopoly, Such and Such.

Not a great selection but for $1 im not complaining.

[Sinnbox]

I was out in Kansas visiting family recently, I stopped by BJ's pawnshop in Fort Scott because i got lots of games there as a teenager. He had a ton of PS1 games I got Final Fantasy VII for $1.50, and MK: DD for pretty cheap. He had alot of Wii games in stock compared to the Pawn shops here in Indiana. If you live close buy check it out.

Damn FF VII for $1.50! That's a hell of a deal!


Have any of you CAGs south of the river ever gone to that liquidation sale at the Overland Park International Trade Center that they keep advertising on TV? I think they do it 2 or 3 times a year and the ad makes it sound like you can get ridiculous deals on electronics, clothes, etc...

I went to one in St. Louis about 3 yrs ago, that is probably pretty similar. Big time rip off. No good deals whatsoever. This could be a different thing but I would doubt it. Worse was that you had to pay $10 just to get in.

I used to go to Computer shows like that, and they used to have good deals. Then the vendors started upping prices, the organizers started upping the door charges, and more people started attending. The result is that there are very few deals, and the last couple I went to were so bad that I paid money to wander around and not buy anything.

We have a sale like that here, basicly you pay $10 or $20 to get in the door and they have afew good deals, but you have to be there early, and there is a 90% chance the cheap games are somethign you have no intention of ever buying unless you are trying for a coplete set.

[schuerm26]

My wife and her sister are going to something right now at the Municipal Auditorium downtown (that's what they thought the place was called at least). Is this the same thing referenced to a couple posts up? She played the ad on the radio and it said something like xbox 360 games for $19 and car stereos for $49,etc,etc..

Probably all junk but wasn't sure if that was the same thing as mentioned above.

Yeah that's it. I saw the commercial and finally watched the whole thing. It's at Municipal Auditorium near downtown KC. I was thinking it was that one they run in Overland Park a couple times a year.

Ditto these shows are pretty much disappointments.

[The Tick]

I don't know if any of you KC guys are interested, but GameCo put out their copies of Smash Bros: Brawl today. Though they have them marked up to $59.99.

Heads-up if you want it early without the crowds for an extra 10 bones.

[CMorrigu]

I stopped by Sears on Sat, and picked up 4 PSP games and a 360 game for a total of $25. The staff member I encountered was very helpful and CAG friendly, scanning over twice as many games for price as I actually bought without complaint.

Approximate Prices (from memory)
Rumble Roses XX $8
MGS Portable Ops $3
WTF $3
Dark Stalkers $8
Gangs of London $3

Which Sears?

[sterlingice]

Haven't posted in a while so figure I'd weigh in. I was in Italy for nearly 2 weeks. Over there, games were a bit more but not much. The biggest problem is the $1.50 to 1E conversion. If it was 1:1, prices would be very similar.




That said, here's the more "useful" stuff stateside:

Three weeks ago, I hit up a couple of places along Metcalf.

First was the Sears mentioned above. There were at ton of games out there in bins but nowhere to scan. With a list or a patient clerk, someone could make a killing there.

Then I went to the KMart, up a couple of blocks. The one thing that stuck out is that there were some SNES games in the clearance box. I wonder how long those have been in some warehouse. I believe there was Demoltion Man and some boxing game. Yes, SNES.



Then there were last week's finds:

I had to go out to Manhattan. I was thrilled because I found Katamari Damacy for $17 at Hastings and I didn't have it yet. I also saw a copy of RPG Maker 2 for the PS2 which I don't think I had ever seen before. They wanted $50 for it, tho. Also, for the record, the Sears in the mall in Manahattan doesn't have any games.

Lastly, the Lawrence Hy-Vee on 6th Street got a Red Box for rental, whatever that is. So, they're getting rid of their rental department. Right now, all games are $20. Not much is a bargain there but I snagged God of War 2 and Twilight Princess, two games you don't see for $20 yet.

[SteveDaWonder]

Are there any good Ma and Pa stores in the KC Metro that sell games? I'm not talking about GameStop or Micro Center, but things more along the lines of GameCo, GameCrazy, etc?

[druciferwept]

i don't know of any in KC proper off the top of my head, but there's a Gameco in OP near the mall, one in the Great Mall, and one on Santa Fe in Olathe.

Needmore Discs in on Nieman sells games, but their selection is consistently crap.

Then there's Vintage Stock, of course. But no deals be had inside their doors.

There's also a Gameco up north in Gladstone (off N. Oak Trfwy) but their prices aren't that great.

Lawrence has a couple of shops on Mass Street- one called Game Nut that has a pretty good collection of older stuff but is fairly expensive and another called Game Guy which has an ok collection

[Chitown021]

I hit the K-Mart and Sears off of Metcalf this afternoon on the way out to the in-laws house today. I was surprised how organized the video game section in electronics was at K-Mart. A little TOO organized since there were no deals to be found. I did spot a copy of the latest Tony Hawk game for the 360 on clearance for around $15 and a copy of FF V for the GBA for $12.97. Both are still there if anyone wants them.

When I went to Sears there were 3 bins of clearance games. Two of the bins has next gen games in them (PS3, Wii, 360) as well as PSP, PS2, and Xbox titles. The sign said "$29.99 and under, ask associate for exact price." There was a salesperson scanning and pricing the games in the third bin that contained GBA and DS titles. Some were marked $2.97 but it was junk like Chicken Little and The Little Mermaid.

I checked some prices on games in the glass case.:
Eragon (360) - $3.97 (bought one, still one left)
SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters (DS) - $29.99:bomb:
DS Web Browser - $29.99 (Was hoping this would be clearance priced. Not a deal but I've been looking for a copy to add to my collection).
Persona 3 (PS2) - $49.99 (In case someone was looking for one).

There were several other titles there but I didn't have my list from the Sears clearance thread so I wasn't sure what other cheap ass deals I might have been able to get.

Do they have any Duo, Philips CD-i or 3DO's for sale there?

[druciferwept]

last time i was in Game Nut they definitely had a 3DO and a stack of games. No CD-i or Turbo Duo systems that i saw. There were a few loose HuCards, however. Never hurts to ask whose working--i've gotten stuff there in the past that wasn't on display.

[Chitown021]

I don't know if anyone has been watching the CC Clearance thread but I found a clearance copy of Odin Sphere for the PS2 at the location near Metro North Mall. They had a least one more left if anyone was looking for it.

[halusha]

There were two copies of Odin Sphere at the CC at 119th & Metcalf, I bought one.

[schuerm26]

Not sure how many there were but The gamestop up off of Barry Road and I-29(shops at Boardwalk) was giving out a free movie pass for 2 people to a movie called Street Kings on Wed April 9th at 7:30

It is being shown at the AMC right on Barry and I-29

I love the picture from the parking garage next to the union, aznguyen316

[sterlingice]

As for video game deals, I'm on call this weekend and got called out three times so I took the opportunity to check a couple of places in KC but came up empty.

Nothing caught my eye at the TRU down in Olathe off of K7. I was looking for Hotel Dusk and Lost in Blue 2 but neither were there. Lots of copies of Elite Beat Agents if you haven't found one yet. There must have been another printing of those as I couldn't find them to save my life for months at the end of 2007 but now they're everywhere.

Later on in the day, I went to the Circuit City down south of 119th and Metcalf. I was looking for Mario Baseball, Mario Strikers, and if I found one of those, Sonic Riders, too. Riders was there but neither of the Mario games were :(

SI

[Chitown021]

I know I should root for the Big 12 to win the tourney but as a Mizzou and K-State fan it's against my religion to cheer for the Chickenhawks. I do have to admit that was an amazing performance last night. KU came out like gangbusters trying to win the whole thing in those first few minutes.

I have 2 degrees from Mizzou but it doesn't bother me to root for KU if Mizzou is not even in the tournament. If Mizzou was in a 16th seed, then I'll trash talk KU, but really I don't wish them to lose if my team can't even play. MU needs to start recruiting at some of the schools I work with, those kids would give a left arm to play at the college level.

[schuerm26]

I went to K-State and wouldn't have a problem rooting for KU. At this point, what is good for the Big 12 is what people should be rooting for.

BUT,

I can't root for KU. In my bracket I have a Memphis vs. KU final and Memphis winning. If that happens I get $250 so please god let KU lose.

I was in Branson for the game on Saturday. I literally ran down the strip to get back to the hotel, twas fun

I guess it was destiny for KU to win. Their bracket opened wide for them (easy road with all the lower seeds winning) and Memphis choked down the stretch.

Now I wonder if Self will leave for Oklahoma State if they pony up some mad cash?

My guess is he is gone since they won. If they had lost I could have seen him staying, but they are going to throw out a HUGE offer and I don't see him turning it down. Leave on a high note. If Self goes I wouldn't be shocked if the next KU coach was Calipari. They were talking about it on the radio last week since he has KU connections and is a big name type coach they would need to hire. Self or Calipari? I think both are winning situations.

Man, Memphis gave that game away though.

[Sarang01]

Sigh I wish I could fart in Roy Williams face and tell him HE'S a failure for a coach!

You have to think that KU will make a comparible offer to Self. Mass was great fun last night! What a game!

[Chitown021]

Sigh I wish I could fart in Roy Williams face and tell him HE'S a failure for a coach!

[Sarang01]

LOL. The KU hate for Roy Williams cracks me up. You may hate him for leaving your school but he's far from a failure.

No I hate him because the year after he left KU after the Jayhawk's losing the final game, next year AGAINST the Jayhawks in the final game against North Carolina they won. THAT sends the message that the KU team was a FAILURE in the previous game, not Roy Williams coaching. Ir's an embarrassment unless the team was like 30% or more different lineupwise over the year before.
Chi have you seen any great deals on the LG BH200 new around? Like under $400.
Anyone seen "Folklore" or those other PS3 games at that cheap price at any BB's around?

I say Bill will stay, after listening to interview after interview, he wants job security and a reworked contract and Perkins won't let Self get away, and that's why Self says he just wants to talk it over.. get his cash and years down the road. Woot to the NCAA Men's bball CHAMPIONS!!

I was just at the Walmart at near 119th & metcalfe, and on their clearance aisle, they had quite a few (> 20) of the packages with the 2000 Wii Point cards and gimmicky Classic controller gloves on clearance for $10. Half price Wii Points are always a good thing

Oh man, 200 miles away according to Google. The ones in Derby were still $25 when I checked two weeks ago.

Anyone ever notice no Wichita-area deals seem to show up in this thread. Do we just have crappy prices here or am I the only person living there?

[crazylikeafox11]

lost loser, i just don't ever go to the store that often and normally when i do, i pick up dvds. picked up big trouble in little china (among others) for 4.75 from target yesterday. i was also surprised to see that target had season 1 & 2 of the l word for 20.00 each.

[CMorrigu]

I picked up the last 2 Wii cards/classic skins packs yesterday from WM on 119th & metcalf.

[aznguyen316]

I'm originally from Wichita, but never bargain hunted when I lived there, just began while I was at college.. (go figure) but I've been down to visit and ran to the stores to see what's up.. only good thing I got in WIchita was the Bioshock for $20 deal at FYE..

[SeanNOLA]

does anyone remember Stop & Save at the Great Mall of the Great Plains? I mean before it got bought out. I remember getting Final Liberation there for $3 right after it came out...good times.

(go figure) but I've been down to visit and ran to the stores to see what's up.. only good thing I got in WIchita was the Bioshock for $20 deal at FYE..Towne East was completely out of the game by the time I got up there (granted that was about 2 weeks after the thread popped up on here about it, I wasn't really dying to get the game obviously).

I don't have any room to complain anymore though. Yesterday I went to Kansas City for a concert and I drove right by a sign that said "Overland Park" with a Wal*Mart right next to it. I was tempted to go check it out and see if they had any of these $10 point cards, but my friends wanted to go home and I'm not a cheap ass enough gamer to argue with my tired girlfriend.

[Ryu4096]

I just saw quite a few 'Orange Box' for PS3 (Sorry not XBox 360 or PC :( ) for $29.98 on clearance at Target in Belton MO. This is located South of KC, on 71 Hiway and 58 Hiway. At the 58 Hiway exit, go West and Target is on the right side

In case anyone is interested

[Ryu4096]

No, I haven't seen anything for FolkLore. I would have to jump on that deal

I did see the Walmart at 75th & 1-35 in Overland Park does have the Wii points and gloves on clearance. However, they are clearancing these for $15 instead of the $10 I saw at the other walmart. They do also have the same deal for the points and classic controller combination as well ($15)

->Ryu4096

[schuerm26]

Are there any other local type game stores in KC besides Gameco and Game Xchange?

[aznguyen316]

for any of you in the KC area.. Nebraska Furn Mart has GTA IV for $49.99 + $10 gift card, best deal available.. I picked it up last night at Lawrence Wal-mart.. man there were a lot of people there

[fivehorizons]

North of Wichita checking in...no deals here.

[Sarang01]

Folklore $30 new at Gamestop. Grabbed the last sealed copy I believe, though I could be wrong, at Oak Park Mall. Great Mall Of the Great Plains has one new as well but it's display copy new. Also Shawnee Mission may have some new one's as display copies only or a sealed one or two as well. These are the ONLY one's in the KC Metro area to have new or "new" copies of Folklore around.
I kept quiet on this for the last couple of days on this or slightly more. Waited a bit to bag one sealed. Now that I've got one I'm passing the word around. Had to get one Sony exclusive or one superior PS3 version game for a good price or two. Btw Target at Oak Park has copies of "Lair" for around $30 new on clearance. Whether or not you consider that a deal is to your discretion.

Thanks, I have been looking everywhere for these controllers on sale. I went ahead and picked up 2 for $15, they probably had 10 more.

Whats up with that Walmart? You have to get someone to unlock the racks to get game accessories now?

[Chitown021]

I hope everyone is safe and survived last night's storm in one piece. In case anyone is looking the Target off of I-35 and Chouteau in the northland had 2 Wii's in stock as of 7:00PM tonight. First time I've seen them in the wild in several months.

[sterlingice]

I didn't even wake up for the big line of storms tho there was a tornado warning in Lawrence, apparently.



I was in Topeka for part of every day this week, go figure. So, today I dropped in at the Gamestop on Wanamaker. Picked up the final Phoenix Wright game, Lego Star Wars for the Cube, and Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal for about $35 after Edge card and B2G1.

Odd rare stuff I saw was Mario Party 4 and Resident Evil 3 for Gamecube- both were $35ish. They also had copies of Dark Cloud 2 and Suikoden 3 in original cases for under $20 but no manuals or anything so I passed :(

Picked up Zelda DS and Pokemon Diamond for $20 each this past week at Radio Shack in Topeka on Wanamaker. They had copies of Pokemon still, both types. I think they were out of Zelda, tho.

Checked Lawrence for Final Fantasy XII DS but no luck :(

Picked up FF XII: Revenant Wings at Target in Topeka on Wanamaker (is there another one?). It was clearanced but in the case and only marked down to $27.XX so no $20 deal like at Metro North. But I'm not going anywhere near KC until at least next Tuesday-ish since work has me in Topeka all week and I'm out of town all weekend so I figured I'd snag it.

Thanks for the info. I might go ahead and pick myself up a copy in a few days after I get paid.

Trust me, you didn't get any sort of special deals.

NCAA Football 07 is $5.99 on gamestop.com

I can go down the list. You didn't get any special deals. Are they cheaper than when they launched at retail some time ago? Of course, but that's what all games do. You aren't getting a deal just because you aren't paying $50-60

[ospriteo]

The WM at Shawnee Mission and 435 has some $15 wii games in the clearance isle by the garden center. They are just the cheap kids games like Kidz Sports Ice Hockey, Rig Racer 2 and two or three others. They also had a xbox 360 steering wheel, I didn't stop to check out the price.

Was out in Manhappiness for some work today. Stopped by the Gamestop (or was it EB) out on Seth Child by the Target. They had Wiis in stock.

I also used the B1G1 to get some XBox games since I didn't have all of 2 in KOTOR and Soulcalibur 2. Here's what I got:
Halo
Halo 2 SE
Jade Empire SE
Fable
Morrowind
Castlevania
and then Project Gotham Racing and Mech Assault not with the coupon since they were something like $1 and $3.

Now I need about 3 more games (Ninja Gaiden, KOTOR 2, and Panzer Dragoon Orta) and I'll have all the XBox games worth owning that were system exclusives. I swear- there just wasn't much on that console if you weren't into shooters or sports and had another console to get cross platform stuff.

You mean if you didn't worship or jack off to Master Chief? Just say it, it needs to be said. You pick up "Breakdown"? That's a good game.

Fable was the best game for the XBOX in my opinion. If there is one game that has me thinking about getting a 360, it is Fable II.

Do any of you guys have any luck finding any of the clearance deals for Target, Kmart, etc in the KC area?

[chuckx47]

Finding clearance deals is a real hit-or-miss process. Most of the time, what's in stock at a given store is a small subset of what's listed in a clearance thread.

Over the past couple months, I've made the following clearance purchases:

:ps2: Odin Sphere - $11 - Circuit City @ Metro North Mall
:ds: Contact - $10 - K-Mart @ 78th and State, KCK

The Target on Shawnee Mission Pkwy and 435 had both the Pokemon DP Strategy Guide and the 480-something Pokedex for under $5 each.

I went to the Gamestop right next to that on Monday and picked up Odin Sphere ($20), SoulCalibur 3 ($10), and Warcraft 3 expansion ($10). Then I got home and realized I already had it- d'oh (WC3 expansion). They had 2 Katamari Damacys there and a couple more Odin Spheres but this was around noon on Monday, maybe an hour after they opened.

One of those Katamari's was probably mine that I traded in at that store when I picked up Mario Kart.

Nebraska Furniture Mart currently has The World Ends With You for the DS for $19.77, though I believe it is for this week only. I think Megaman ZX Advent for the DS is on sale for the same price. Also Advance Wars: Days of Ruin strategy guides were reduced to ~$6.

Was at the Toys R Us on 95th and Quiveria today, they had a copy of Final Fantasy V for the GBA (one copy left) for $15.

I just got back from Best Buy off of 119th St and Metcalf and they had a huge clearance rack at the front of the store. All games on the rack were 50% off. I'll list the ones I remember:

All Pro Football 2k8-$5
Two Worlds-$20
Tomb Raider Anniversary-$15
Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 Collector's Edition-$35
Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition-$35
Assassin's Creed Collector's Edition-$35
The Bigs-$20
Halo 3 Collector's Edition-$25
Dead or Alive Extreme Volley Ball 2-$15
Virtua Fighter 5-$30

There were a lot more and all of them were for the 360. I snagged the last copy of R6V2 and Tomb Raider Anniversary but there were plenty of copies of Two World's and most of the other games I listed. There were a few PS3 games as well but I really didn't pay much attention to them. I know Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 was availabe for the PS3. There's also a lot of other stuff like controllers and guitars.

Everything is listed with the regular price but has tags that say everything on the cart is %50 off. The games did not ring up at the register so I mentioned it to them and they double checked. I also used some reward zone certificates so I was able to take another $15 off my entire purchase.

Damn Wal-Mart and their lame ass clearance pricing. The Wal-Mart off of 72nd street and N Prospect in the northland has a pile of SIXAXIS PS3 controllers, Wii pt cards w/ classic controller gloves, and even a PSP slim stamina battery kit. I thought I had hit the motherload until I looked at the pricing. They marked everything down about a dollar and call it a clearance.

Wal-mart is terrible sometimes when it comes to clearances. Last year I stumbled across some wavebirds on clearance but they were only a few bucks off. Looking back I'm now kicking myself for not getting them even at that price.

Nebraska Furniture Mart currently has The World Ends With You for the DS for $19.77, though I believe it is for this week only. I think Megaman ZX Advent for the DS is on sale for the same price. Also Advance Wars: Days of Ruin strategy guides were reduced to ~$6.

Yesterday, I gladly scooped up a copy of The World Ends With You for $20. I asked the guy to price check it since it was marked at $40, but it rang up at $20 and he said it went until tomorrow (Saturday). I've been waiting for that to drop to grab it (yes, I'm a CAG). They also had Professor Layton for $25 and I was strongly tempted but I just think that's going to be one of those games that is clearanced out for $10 next year at Circuit City or some place like that.

I'm still on my eternal quest for a Wii. It's kindof a half-hearted little jaunt. I have $100 in gift cards for both Target and WalMart so it has to be at one of those spots. But with all my stops, I've still only seen Wii's in store twice since they have come out. Again, it's half-hearted as, if I wait a couple of months, it will be my birthday and if I stumble across one when my wife is along, then it becomes my birthday present anyways :) It's bad, tho, as I already have 2 games for the system and I don't even own it (then again, I have 7 or 8 XBox games and no XBox either) since the GH3 and SSB sales on Amazon were too hard to pass up and I know I'm getting those games anyways

Also, I was down at the Gardner WalMart a couple of days ago as part of the above. They have a huge display of stuff for $20 ($19.82 or whatever). Not a great price for much but they had a few things I thought about like Zach and Wiki but I think that's a universal drop now.

(New) Trade List - Updated as of 6/14/08 - Old and New stuff (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186653)
Lastly, shameless plug as I've updated my trade list. There is a lot of old and new stuff on there and I realize some of them are clunkers but who knows- maybe I can parlay some of that into stuff I want.

Hey guys, sorry. This isn't a deal that can be replicated. I just need to brag.

I went to the Wal-Mart on Frontage road in OP last Thursday thinking about buying a PS3 on the $100 giftcard deal. When I got there, they had a returned 40GB in the case marked down $80 to $320 because it was "missing a cable". It turned out to be the mini-USB that charges the controller! $80 off for that! I pounced on it, and they gave me the giftcard, too!

PS3 for (essentially) $220! Score!

:wii::whee:Do the Wii Dance:whee::wii:

I got a Wii today. There were 4 sitting out at the Wal Mart in Topeka so I cashed in my ~$120 in gift cards (Wii Fund). They also had copies of Mario Kart, too, for people who had been looking for both. Did not see Wii Fit. Considering I just spent a bit much on a Wii, I decided against it for now. Tho, I did go across the street and get Wii Play and a second nunchuck for my wife since I had some BB gift cards, too. Also, I have Guitar Hero 3 sitting around from the Amazon music sale and Smash Bros Brawl coming from Amazon with the $40 and a $10 gift card thing (hell, Melee is hard to find for under $30 even now, 5 years later, so I might as well jump on Brawl).

Also, no Wii's, Wii Fit, or Mario Kart at the Toys R Us. Had to actually do some work there today in the electronics department so I checked it out. They refurbished the store so it's more like a modern one with an R Zone and a Babies R Us tacked on instead of an old school, long row TRU :(

Congrats on finding the Wii today! It still amazes me that they're still hard to find this long after launch.

[sterlingice]

I was passively looking for one. If I had wanted to camp, I could have gotten one much sooner, but I didn't really want to do that. So, I just check in places from time to time when I'm there and, bam, there one was. :whee:

At first, I went to the counter and there was a guy helping out who I don't think normally worked in electronics. I asked if they had Wiis in stock after seeing them in the case and he looked at me, well, like someone who would respond to that question not knowing that Wii was Nintendo's game system. So my heart stopped for a second but after the other electronics guy pointed him towards it, all was good :)

Going off of memory, here's some things I recall from my TRU visits in the past couple of weeks.

Metro North Mall TRU had quite a few PSP stamina batteries left (as of last Saturday) and the TRU by the Great Mall had white memory cards on clearance for the Gamecube for $5 (this was mid week of the B2G1F DS Games sale).

Kindof quiet. Haven't done much myself lately, but I picked up Zak and Wiki from TRU for $7.XX in Topeka- they had at least 10 copies left. Didn't realize there were some other games I should check for there.

At the Lawrence sidewalk sale yesterday, I picked up some NES stuff for my collection at $1 and $3 from Game Nut and a couple of SNES games for about that inside with their 20% off. Still, it's Game Nut so it was probably too expensive anyways.

It's been awhile since I've found any deals around here. Today when I was at the Target off of Chouteau the game clearance endcap was completely gone!

I never knew about Game Nut in Lawrence. There's the Game Guy, right off of 7th and Mass but I haven't been there for a while. Might have to check it out but from your description I guess they're normally pretty expensive.

I used to love the pawn shops in Lawrence but even those are drying up for good games. I remember when The Yellow House (I think that's what it's called) had games like Space Megaforce and Secret of Mana for real cheap and now it's pretty much old PS2 sports games.

Checked by the TRU for RE4 (Wii), Galaxy Wars (DS), Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 (DS) and Zack and Wiki (Wii). No MvDK2 or RE4 there, and after my purchase of a copy each of Z&W and GW, they had one Z&W and two GW games left. I'm hoping the other TRU might have the other two available but I kinda doubt it.

[SoulFinder]

Wii's at the Bestbuy on 95th and quivera (sp) and Target on 151st and 69 highway. There were about 6 at bestbuy, and 5 at target.

[Sarang01]

Hey I was wondering if anyone here wanted to go half on the TRU sale? Like two copies of "Assassin's Creed" from the Oak Park TRU and split the difference. I think they have both. Does the sale let you buy two of the same game?

[gaxur]

the Oak Park TRU still looks like they have a couple dozen EBAs in their $8 DS bin. Also a couple dozen copies of Guilty Gear DS, if you're interested for some reason.

The PS2 section at the Best Buy at 119th and Strang Line had bins of cheap games; $5 and $10 dollars mostly. There were some better looking ones in there (Hitman, Splinter Cell, Sly Cooper), but mostly $15. Not sure how much of a deal it would be, but there you go.

[rperez1025]

Don't forget about Final Fantasy IV being on sale for $20 at Nebraska Furniture Mart. Might want to check but I believe the sale only lasts till Tuesday, and not until Sunday like others ads normally do.

And this is a bit off-topic, but they had quite a few DVD series on sale ("beating the competitor's prices" sale). I picked up Office Season 3 for $20.

Posted this in the main Target clearance thread. The one at 97th Street next to Oak Park mall had a bunch of games on clearance. They are on the end cap at the corner of the store. I don't remember the title or price but they had a bunch of DS, PSP and PS2 or 3 games. The xbox games are below.

Xbox 360 Games
Pop Cap Arcade - 9.98
Saints Row - 9.98
Tiger Woods 08 - 14.98
Madden 08 - 14.98
Bully - 19.98
Bioshock - 19.98
NBA Ballers: Chose One - 19.98
Kane & Lynch - I think this was 19.98
The Club - 24.98

[chuckx47]

I recently swung by the Harrisonville, MO Gamestop. They seemed to have a really good selection of games at that location.

I picked up a copy of SMT: Devil Summoner :ps2:, new for $9.99.

Thanks, might have to check it out. Today I was at the Wal-mart on Shawnee Mission Pkwy, just east of 435, and noticed they had a end rack of clearance games. Nothing too great but I did see a couple of copies of Virtua Fighter 5 for the PS3 for $10. I saw a price tag for Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii for $7.50 but unfortunately all of the copies in the case were gone. Lot of other games for all systems as well but nothing else really grabbed my attention.

[Ryu4096]

Yeah, The Harrisonville Gamestop gets some gems some times. I got a used Futurama for PS2 there a couple of months ago. The game sucks, but it is a collectors item

->Ryu

[Chitown021]

Damn, I went to the Best Buy near Metro North Mall this past weekend hoping to score a headset included copy of Warhawk for $30 (others have reported getting it there due to the GH version coming out). No go... They were on top of things and apparently have two separate sku's in the computer... Rang up $49.99.

[Ryu4096]

Hey all, I was at Blockbuster at 95th and Antioch in Overland Park, and they had a bunch of new clearance games. The prices were only $10-$15 off MSRP, but they had things like

Xbox 360
GRID $49.99

Wii
Dragon Quest $29.99 (I think)
House of the Dead 2/3 - $19.99

PSP
Chains of Olympus $29.99

PS3
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - $29.99

They had Dark Sector, Condemned 2, and Vikiing for $29.99, but I think GameStop have these for $19.99 new

They had more titles, but can't recall them

->Ryu

I went to the Target at Metcalf and 65th~ish. They keep their clearance stuff in the case, for the most part. I didn't see much- FFTA2 was in the case but not clearanced and no Metroid or Resident Evil :(

The Target off I-29 and Chouteau in the northland had Metroid for about $34.xx. I also saw Bully for the Wii at the Liberty Target for $24.xx. No RE at either of them though, that's the main one I was looking for. The Liberty Target had several Wii, PS3, and 360 games on clearance.

Oh, I was at the Lawrence one this weekend, too. There were a couple of copies of RE but no Metroid or FFTA2, which are the two I'm looking for :(

The Chouteau store is very close to my house so I'm in there all the time. I can keep an eye on Metroid and nab one for you if it drops further. Maybe if you find a copy of RE cheap we could make a trade.

I'll try to keep a lookout. Kindof busy week ahead as I'll be moving in 2 weeks. I won't be posting in this thread any more as I'll be in Virginia :(

[ospriteo]

The Target on Shawnee Mission Parkway/435 had a lot of the clearance games in the display and on one of the end caps.

The Walmart next to them had some clearance games going for $7.50-$20.00 in a display case in the isle (not the case that says games 19.98 and under, there is another one) There is a bunch of back to school shopping going on this weekend so it's crowded.

Did you see any Dancing with the Stars for the Wii marked at $7.50 at Target?

[ospriteo]

I didn't see that one on the end cap but it could have been in the case, i didn't check out the WII display cases. The three games i'm pretty sure i saw for the WII were Nights: Journey of Dreams, Spiderwick Chronicles and Madden 08. I remember seeing the WWE game but i don't remember which system it was for.

Xbox games I know i saw
The Darkness - 9.98
Bully - 14.98
Bioshock - 19.98
Kane and Lynch - 19.98
Viking - 19.98
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom - 19.98 - 1 left
The Club - 24.98

Most of the games were still in the display cases but they had the red clearance stickers on them.

The 7.50 game at walmart was DS elite beat agents. All of the other games in the case were stacked in no order. Stuff like Hannah Montana for the WII

I got this at least like a couple of weeks ago for $30 for the headset one at BB on Metcalf. Don't know if they still have them though.
I got it only with the headset for that price as $30 for the game without it is a ripoff. I consider $30 too much for just a multiplayer game unless there's a headset that comes with it.
Oh btw does anyone know of a used game shop around where I could pick up a Saturn S-Video cable or will I have to get one online?

[CMorrigu]

BB on 119th and Metcalf has a 50% off clearance endcap in the video games section. (Finally!)
360, Wii, PSP, DS, PS2... Lots of stuff there, I forgot to take a pic.

Also, note that they didn't have correct prices in the system, so tell the cashier if anything rings up wrong.

Umm, I seem to recall Harvey Birdman PSP was $10. I think there were some PS3 games, but I don't remember which ones. I know All Pro Football 2K8 360 was like $3.50 or something ridiculous. I think Golden Compass 360 was $9. The Wii stuff I seem to recall were all crappy looking minigames. I thought I would take a picture, so I didn't try to remember much.

I posted this in the Target thread but I thought I should mention it here. I don't know if this applies to all of the metro area stores but it happened for me at the one in the northland off of I-35 and Chouteau...

I bough 4 - 12 packs of Coke (two Coke Zero and two Diet Coke) and received a $10 giftcard. The promo is supposed to happen when you buy Coke Zero and NCAA Football 09. Seems like a glitch that can result in some cheap Coke for area CAGs. I'm hoping I can get back out later so I can buy some more and give it another shot.

I never seem to find ANY of these deals. last time I went to target, they still had Motorstorm PS3 GH for $54.99...and that was LAST WEEK lol

[gaxur]

If anyone cares, I heard one of the employees at the TRU near Oak Park mall say something about getting 62 Wiis in stock. I didn't see any myself (didn't look or ask), but the people in front of me were buying one, so they may still be in stock.

Yep, I'm from Wichita, KS. I'm surprised there aren't more folks from the Wichita area. Oh well, more great deals for us right?:bouncy:

[umcthomas]

This isn't a video game deal but thought the KC folks might want to know...

I logged in to pay my KCPL (Kansas City Power and Light) bill tonight and they are giving away vouchers for 2 free Royals tickets if you go to the energy analyzer page once your logged in. There are only a few games left to use it, but, hey, 2 seats for the price of parking is pretty good.

50% off shelf is still going at the BB 119th & Metcalf. There's also a 60% off shelf. Here's a pic, lots of stuff there looked mostly to be crap, but some better stuff was mixed in.

[Chitown021]

I bought a copy of Madden 09 CE for the PS3 on clearance for $63 tonight at the Liberty Supertarget. They still had a couple copies left if anyone else was interested. I was really hoping it would've hit 50% off by now. I'm going to either keep it sealed in case of a price drop or go to one of the other stores in town where the price has dropped and see if I can get them to refund the difference.

[KansasFF]

NFM (www.nfm.com for ad) has PS3 versions of Tiger Woods 09 and NCAA Football 09 for 29.99. This is a possible mismark, but I took the ad to Best Buy and got it price matched.

Good point. With Vintage Stock, I'm usually more interested in the older games that Gamestop does not deal in (i.e. PS1,SNES,NES,etc.).

[chuckx47]

After scouring the selection at Vintage Stock near 92nd and Metcalf. I walked out with the following:

:ps2: God Hand
:gc: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure
PS1 Bushido Blade

Definitely heed the warning about pricing vs. Gamestop.

In a lot of cases, Gamestop has the better price (i.e. Final Fantasy XII Collectors Edition is $29.99 at Vintage Stock and $17.99 at Gamestop). Sometimes, it's the other way around though (God Hand is $14.99 at Vintage stock and $17.99 at Gamestop).

[Chitown021]

The Super Target in Liberty has a Piano Black PSP with an AS-IS sticker for $119.xx. Looks like the package had been ripped open and re-sealed. Not a bad deal if someone was looking for one. I haven't found much else in the way of deals in the KC area.

Not really a deal but the Toys R Us at 95th and Quivira has tons of Wiis and Wii fit in stock.

It sucks because there will no longer be any monthly clearances or nice new release gift card deals to take advantage of. And the new one on Quivira just opened up about a year ago, too. If you have any gift cards you better start using them up.

Unfortunately, yes. Anyone had a chance to visit one lately? I'm wondering if they are still Circuit City and they're just clearancing stuff or if they are actually taken over by some liquidator and retagging the prices on things again.

I went to the one on 95th street Wednesday during lunch and they were still circuit city. The clearance was 10-30% with all games, computers at 10% and DVDs at 20%. The store was still full of stuff probably because saving $4 on video games is not really a deal.

Don't know if anyone posted this but Fable 2 at Nebraska Furniture Mart is $49.99

I can confirm that the Target near Oak Park Mall has The Orange Box (360) for 19.99. They only had one left on the shelf, but I assume the other Targets in the area will have the same deal. You can check stock on the Target website.
Take care,

For any local CAGs that might be following the RB2 bundle TRU madness I can confirm as of 10:30AM that the TRU by Metro North Mall was honoring the price in the ad. They ran out of the PS3 version but I was able to get it PMed at Wal-Mart. In case anyone was looking to pick one up.

[sheepboy_1923]

I don't know if this will be helpful to anyone, but my local Walmart (Blue Ridge/Hwy 40) price matched the NFM 12 days ad and gave me GTA IV for $19.99.

If you're looking for GTA 4, you can get it used for 15 bucks, and get another game free with it at blockbuster. Some places are sold out of em though, and others have tons

[guardian_owl]

yep, tried that already but apparently both my Blockbusters are franchise stores so they rung up at $35. I'll just have to wait for a sale on a new copy I guess. Shame the NFM ad is only for the Xbox360 version or I might have tried that.

[Collectorguy00]

The Target on Wanamaker no longer has a clearance endcap, it was "taken" away. I'm still not sure what that means.

It's pretty close to Olathe. From Indepedence it's around a 40 min drive. That's why I'm wondering if it's worth the trip.

Also Collectorguy00, check out the Vintage Stocks in Liberty, Blue Springs or Independence. They are cool if you like classics (NES, Genesis, SNES, ect). No hidden gems though. They know what they have.

[chuckx47]

The Sears at Metcalf South (95th and Metcalf) has one more copy of the Singstar bundle (PS3, volume 1, with 2 mics). It is clearance priced at $9.97. FYI, it's on the bottom shelf of the system display case behind the PS2 Singstar bundles.

I checked out Play N Trade. Nice little store. They have a tiny retro collection (mostly Atari) in a glass case near the back. Otherwise, they had a decent selection of current games both new and used. I picked up a new copy a SMT: Digital Devil Saga for $29.99 ($5 less than Gamestop's current used price).
