Sam's at 95th and I-35 had some sweet deals! Picked up Resistance 2 CE for 39.xx and :ps3: Fallout 3 CE for 29.xx.

Other deals:
:ps3: Guitar Hero: Metallica 19.xx
:360::ps3: Rock Band (game only) 9.xx
:360: The Club 9.xx

There just hasn't been much around the area lately.

Though, just of note. If anyone was curious, I price-matched 3 copies of Beatles: Rock Band at the Best Buy on Metcalf last night with the Microcenter print out without any issue.

Hey was there any chance they had GH Metallica for the 360? I was waiting til it dropped below $20 to pick it up.

If no one's noticed MicroCenter has been giving away a $50 gift card with any Xbox Pro or Elite you buy. I got mine at the OP MC last night and picked up some essentially free games with the gift card. They don't actually give you the gift card. They knock $50 off the price of the Xbox and make you pay for the gift card. Probably some accounting/tax thing.

Sadly their used game selection sucks even more than it used to. One of the sales guys said they've started sending the used games they get into some company that sends them the same game back only with a fresh disc/box/manual and a higher price tag.

I looked for it but didn't see it the other day. I actually went back the following day that I bought my games to pick my friend up some of the CE stuff and I didn't even see the PS3 version any more. I might have missed it though. It appeared a lot more of the PS3 stuff was marked down compared to the 360.

Was at Nebraska Furniture Mart today and saw they had Klonoa (Wii) and Deadly Creatures (Wii) for $9.86 each on clearance. Deadly Creatures was on the Wii shelf and Klonoa was in the clearance bin.

I haven't lived here for long so I'm going to ask, are the gaming sales around here normally this dry? Back in Tennessee I could find cheap games without looking most of the time, but here it seems kind of like nothing I want is ever discounted.

[rperez1025]

I think this past year finding great sales have dwindled, and this thread slowing down quite a bit doesn't help matters (one of the thread's main contributors moved to a different state).

Where did you find most of your gaming deals in Tennessee?

Here, I've been mainly relying on:

Target Clearances
Nebraska Furniture Mart
Microcenter
Blockbuster (their sales/stock have gone done drastically in the past couple of years)
Best Buy sales (occasionally there will be good clearances)
Sears/K-mart clearances
Pawn Shops

I'm sorry to say there is not much around here other than the occasional YMMV sale that you happen across. I have discovered that when there is a good national deal, the stock is gone at the stores first thing. I firmly believe that there are a few EBayers or hoarders that hit the stores in a very organized fashion as soon as they open for the best deals. It's gotten to the point that I don't even bother going to Best Buy for a very good sale, even a couple hours after they open.

I used to find all my deals at:
GameCrazy
Kmart/Sears Clearance
Movie Gallery

I never really had to buy anywhere else outside of those places. GameCrazy had such insane sales before I left Tennessee that I've had a major backlog of games up until this last month and that's what prompted me to venture outside the homestead searching for deals. Sears here doesn't sell games sadly, so I think I'm going to take a trip to Manhattan to check out the prices around there. I used to make major killings with Sears clearance because I worked at Kmart and the Employee discount made great, amazingly great game deals easy to come by.

I hadn't thought of checking pawn shops before now, though. I probably should sometime this week while I'm out. There are quite a few around here.

That's exactly what happens to me! I live at Fort Riley and seriously, no matter what sale it is, I can never seem to make good enough time to the store to get anything good. It's kind of ridiculous.

I already have Deadly Creatures but I would love to get Klonoa for that price. I will have to stop by out there.

Anyone have any luck with the Best Buy glitch?

What glitch are you referring to? I've been out of the loop for a while.

BB was having their B2G1 sale this last week and it was discovered that if you put the most expensive game in the middle of two other games you would get the one that cost more for free. IE if you bought Rock Revolution for the 360 for $5, Borderlands for the 360 for $60 and Rock Revolution for the PS3 for $5 they would give you Borderlands for free. It only worked if they rung them up in that specific order though.

Sounds pretty dishonest to me to do that, especially if you knew about it so I would have an issue with doing that personally. Not saying you did it of course just those that did. There's a big difference between being cheap and ripping people off, sadly those lines are getting blurred :(

I haven't seen too many good deals lately although several Targets are putting Wolverine for the 360 on clearance (at $29.98 now I believe) and I'm waiting for that 14.98 price point.

[Collectorguy00]

I don't know, I was going to do it to get Borderlands and I wouldn't have felt bad because it was a mess up on their end. Now, the people who did it 30+ times just to turn around and sell them at full price are POS and I would agree with you in that case.

Anyways, Target has a coupon out right now that is $10 off when you buy 2 games so you can get some cheap clearance games. Which Targets do you hit up? I can let you know the prices of the games in Topeka and in Manhattan/Lawrence but I only get around to checking them every so often.

Mostly the Targets in Olathe and Overland Park. I'm actually in Gardner but we don't have a Target. I will have to look into that $10 coupon although I really shouldn't spend any more money on games for a while lol. Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone on here interested in going in on the Buy 2 Get 2 season tickets for the Royals next year?
