Hey all..
Huntsville, Alabama CAG here. Just got on. Actually looking to make a swap with someone. I have a great copy of Uncharted 2 that I just got through playing. I would love to swap it for a great copy of Assassin's Creed 2.
Anyone interested, please give me a message.
Thanks!

Target on 280 has The Beatles Rock Band kit for PS3 clearanced from $250 down to $175.
They also have moved their clearance games from the end cap they used to be on and put them in the cases with the regular system games. I do not remember seeing any great deals though.

Yeah 280 target was a gold-mine prior to Xmas but ever since it's been pretty piss-poor. I usually check it on Mondays and report back if anything worth a damn is there. It's been awhile since I've seen anything even worth mentioning. I think they've got Fight Night 4 for 19.98, and Lego Rock Band around the same, X360 both. I usually ignore Wii and DS. The wired controllers for X360 they had on clearance were all taken at 27.98 - which is only $2 less than you can usually find a wireless for, so no loss there.

Best Buy on 280 still (as of 6 pm Tuesday, March 2) has Gran Turismo PSP marked as $29.99 in the aisle. It rings up as $39.99, but I told the cashier about the sign in the aisle. A manager(?) came over and did the price adjust and then let me use the Reward Zone $20 off coupon. So I got Gran Turismo PSP UMD for $9.99 and tax.
They may have gone back and changed the sign after I left, but no one made a big deal about it at all. As a matter of fact, no one went to the aisle to even check the sign while I was there. Anyway, good luck to others who may be looking at picking up the game.

280 Target is still a loss, BUT -- the Target at Exit 10 on 459 has Wired Xbox 360 controllers for 9.98, plenty of them! Also one copy of GH Smash Hits for X360 at 9.98, the rest was meh.

montgomery franchise blockbusters have all used movies and games 50% off, including blu rays.
Prattville is a corporate store so they do not offer the sale, I dont think. If anyone wants bayonetta for ps3 its 29.99-39.99 before 50% off depending on store. All three stores had one copy, happy hunting!

Not I, but the 280 target typically has a horrible selection of BDs - their stock levels suck horribly at that store as a whole.

Montgomery Target has Fable II plat edition for the clearance price of 13.xx. Heads up for those in montgomery area, could be available in Prattville target too.

Tis true! When I'm up in Bham I usually stay away from that one! Driving back to montgomery, the Alabaster target usually has a decent bit of clearance.
Havent been to either in a while though.....

The 50% was only on items $14.99 or less when I went though. The montgomery stores are also selling off their PS2 inventory, for $3.99 to 4.99 a piece (before the 50% off). There was a copy of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (the hard to find one) for the PS2 at the Sturbridge one the last time I was home (about 10 days ago). I grabbed one copy, but left the other.

Its funny they had to add that. When I first went there that was not posted, but the store got cleaned out. THey had Bayonetta and Final Fantasy 13, but both were 29.99. Since it was not written out that 14.99 rule, only verbal, I think a lot of people just got it on a technicality. I managed to get Wolfenstien for :360: for about $6. All their games were wiped out at sturbridge! Which was weird since I know they restocked. I shoulda grabbed the castlevania but I don't have a :ps2: right now, still didn't stop me from grabbing Persona 4!
And n10zguy dont rub it in, Izod and I have been waiting a while! Mine may be heading in on May 13th, but I havent seen anything else going to Bham.

What happened to Target 280? They reorganized the electronics section. It looks like they moved all the clearance stuff several isles over as well.

05-10-2010, 02:51 PM
When I was at Target 280 about a week (or maybe 2) ago, they seemed to have put their clearance stuff (minimal as it is) in the regular game cases. I saw some PS2 games (GI Joe and something else I can't remember) and PS3 Resident Evil 5 (regular version $20.98) on clearance in their respective cases. The shelf where clearance used to be (on that back shelf toward the seasonal section) had a few clearnace PC games but that was all I saw.
Have they done more with the electronics section recently?

That's amazing! I wish I would have been there for FFXIII for $15...
The Atlanta Highway store had nothing at all by the way. I talked to a manger and it seemed like they were funnelling most games to Sturbridge. Also - did you check the middle aisle of the store at Sturbridge (the exact middle aisle of the store) - that's where they had the games when I went last (completely away from the rest of the sale items and games).

Yeah they were keeping the WII, PS3, and 360 games in the middle. Up in the front by the preowned movies they had about 2 shelves for PS2 games. I couldn't believe they were 3.99 and half off that.
Sale is still going on but it's very hard to find anything. Heres what I got from that sale, some good one believe it or not! All these came from Sturbridge store too, so I think the manager at Atl Hgwy may be right!

I stopped by the one in Hoover yesterday just to double check just in case their inventory system was slow but no dice either. However, she did show me how most stores were scheduled to receive 6-8 copies depending on location but across the southeast every store was pretty much back ordered.
I'm not sure what happened as it seems both GameStop and Wal-mart have copies. I think someone at BestBuy just goofed up.

Bumped from the depths but with no deal? That makes me sad. As a remedy (though I have no idea how much they wanted for it or if it is even rare), I will say that I saw a copy of Persona 3 CE for PS2 - the one in the larger cardboard box - at Sears at the Galleria this past weekend. It was over near the video games in a glass case. They also had Spiderman SD and NHL 11 out last Saturday (which were "released" Tuesday). Not sure if they would sell them early or not. Anyone have any other good finds or deals in the Birmingham area since this thread was bumped?
Izod517
09-27-2010, 12:20 PM
New store just opened in Bham near the Galleria in the TRU parking lot. 2nd and Charles, it's used books, dvds, and games. Their prices and trade-ins are similiar to gamestop, but you can trade in old books and movies for video games or cash (you get about 1/2 in cash vs store credit). I traded in a bunch of old graphic novels, and got around $300 in store credit. Selection is pretty decent, but some random prices are odd. A nice deal if you're looking to unload an old bookcase in return for some games. I've got a feeling I'll be adding it to my circle of shops.
BlueLobstah
09-27-2010, 12:29 PM
I saw it yesterday when driving down 31, thought it looked like a bookstore? I meant to Google it once I got home but forgot until I saw it mentioned again here.
2ndandcharles.com (http://2ndandcharles.com), looks like it's a local chain? The font is atrocious on their website, but nevertheless I'll have to check them out. Did you have any chance to what range of games they had? I've longed for something decent to replace Replays, so maybe this might be it.
Izod517
09-27-2010, 01:43 PM
It is mostly a bookstore, but they have a pretty decent media section, and they buy back games, movies, music, and books.
PS2, PSP, X360, PS3, Wii, maybe NDS? Only had a couple of actual consoles. Selection overall was like I said pretty decent (I didn't find anything really rare or anything like that) - I'd expect the selection will pick up over the next few weeks as people start trading stuff in. It's worth taking a walk around that's for sure. Not to mention if you read at all, that place is hugeee.

Thanks for the heads up on that new store.
Izod, if you are in the Irondale area, have you been to the KMart? I was just wondering if you had ever seen the Fallout coasters there. The Epic Mickey boxes were in the new "$20 and under" bin just outside of electronics this morning.

I asked at the Irondale one today for coasters and the CS said the only thing that sounded familiar were the Epic Mickey boxes. I dug through the bargain bin outside the electronics department and could not find any more of those either.
Also, the 2nd and Charles place is okay. The prices on some used games seemed pretty high (Ico $39.99) but my wife got a bunch of Southern Living cookbooks for $5-10 each. There was also a book bin in front of the store marked "free." I did not ask about any game trade in values.

From what I understand from some insiders that is about as far from the case as possible. Regardless their game selection could use a bit of help, and some of the pricing is odd - but I think they're hoping trade-ins will help with selection and hopefully they'll drop prices on stuff not moving. Either way it's a nice place to unload books/dvds for games - always nice to have some options.

Well, that will make my wife happy - $150 saved since I was on the fence about getting it and I know I would have impulse bought it if I saw it there.
Also, Best Buy on 280 had a stack of the Fable 3 preorder bonus codes sitting on a register last night. I asked the cashier if they were free and she said they were but the Dance Central codes sitting next to it were not. So, if anyone wants to grab a Channeler sword for their game that is the place to go.

Hmm I guess I did. I was buying something else when I went (just a cheap Wacom tablet, not a game) and I was looking at the card. I asked if they were free and the cashier said yes. I did go near close Monday night (8:30 or so) and it was not busy. I guess it's YMMV.
On another note, has anyone seen Dragon Age Ultimate at the Greensprings KMart? I went to the Irondale one last night around 5 and the cashier told me they just sold the last 2 copies to someone within the last hour.

Joe I'll try to check for you at lunch today, I work near the Greensprings Kmart. Sad about the Best Buy thing, seeing as how I bought 2 copies of Fables 3 from them, maybe if I go up there with my receipt.

11-10-2010, 11:45 AM
I would try Best Buy with your receipt. (Let me know if it works for you - if not, send me a PM and we may be able to work something out.)
And don't worry about getting over to Greensprings. My wife just called and said they had a new shipment with copies so she picked it up. Thanks though.

The 280 BestBuy (at least for me) is notorious for rejecting said deals, so I'm not too surprised. I try to go to the one in Hoover at if all possible since I've never really had a problem there.

Oh yeah speaking of Hoover the Hoover Books-a-Million has Wii Play or Sports 2 or something + Wiimote for $12.99. Damn good deal if you ask me - I don't need anything Wii though. They only had one, first little section on the left, top shelf.

So who is it that goes to the Irondale Kmart on Tuesday mornings between 9 and 10 and buys 5 or 6 games? :-) I was talking to the cashier the other day (who recognizes me now) and she said that I don't buy nearly as much as some other guy. Also, if anyone is looking, the Walmart around there had 5 or 6 Kinects when I was there yesterday. They are all MSRP, but that was the first time I have seen them in the wild.
Izod517
11-24-2010, 01:16 PM
Hmm, not me - I live near the Irondale Kmart, but I definitely don't hit it on Tuesday mornings nor buy that many games.
Regardless - as far as those Hardees "$50 off PSPgo" coupons from Hardees goes I've not found a single Hardees in the area with an f-in clue about them.
Secondly the 2nd & Charles is running a B1G1 - which is pretty awesome - it says ANY item (except game consoles).

Izod - Just wanted to say thanks for the 2nd and Charles coupon. My wife used it to pick up some Southern Living cookbooks that she had been looking at getting. Also, were you able to get the Fable 3 thing from Best Buy?

I forgot to cancel my copy of Gran Turismo 5 from Amazon, so before I elect to return it if anyone is interested I'd be happy to unload it for $45 (still sealed). I would need to know within the next week or so...

Target on 280 had one copy of Red Steel 2 with Wii Motion plus for $9.98 today around 4 pm. It was on that back shelf where clearance games used to be (on the way from the TVs to the seasonal section).

How did the storm affect everybody? Less than an inch of snow, mostly ice in Tuscaloosa

Not really any snow here. It came down mostly as sleet and I'm assuming freezing rain (Pelham).

While I am a bit disappointed by the lack of snow, at least the icy conditions got me out of work. :D

We got about half an inch of ice where I am (between Mountain Brook and Irondale) and that's it. Of course when you are required to be at work regardless of the weather, I am not complaining too much.

Yeah I greatly prefer the Hoover BB as well in regards to getting any sort of deals or price matching.
The Hoover BB would not pricematch the recent Castlevania LOS $19.99 Fry's deal and the 280 store did. The Hoover store shot me down over the phone. The 280 sales rep not only stated they would honor the match, she went on for about five minutes raving about the game and proceeded to tell me what else she was playing. :applause:

Darn, wish I would have tried. I figured since the nearest Fry's is in Georgia (?) that none of the local stores would honor it. Does Best Buy (280 or Hoover or Trussville) usually match Fry's?

Since when does Best Buy (Birmingham) match Frys?
I'm kind of surprised though. I've always had better luck at the Hoover store. The 280 store always has some random excuse for whatever it is I'm trying to do.

Went to the 280 Target and Best Buy today. Target had several copies of Iron Man 2 for the Xbox 360 for 4.xx and Best Buy 280 had Tasunoko vs. Capcom for 17.99. It was marked 29.99, but rang up for less. It's in a middle shelf between the games and DVDs in the center of the store.

So true! - they were really reliable for deals. The clearance items seem to be in the regular section now.

I thought we had more folks in Tuscaloosa than this, hope all are safe.
I managed to end up between all the bad weather (Pelham) so didn't see really any damage where I live. Although my old roommate in Cahaba Heights had a tree fall on his house among many other things.

Me and mine are ok. A few co-workers lost everything, and we've been working hard to do what we can to help.

Guess no one has really seen many deals around lately. Does anyone know if there are any stores that are using some loophole to make any games or accessories (mainly PS3 controllers) tax free this weekend? I know computers are tax free at Best Buy, but I don't need another one.

I know I'm the lone CAG in Montgomery Area, but has anyone got the Prattville Blockbuster to do the BOGO sale this time around? I'm going to be in Gulf Shores for labor day weekend and hope I wont run into the same problem at the Foley Store. Again I know I'm the lone CAG down there too :(
*EDIT* Ended up having to go to the Daphne Blockbuster since the Foley & Fairhope Blockbusters selection sucks. Got my copies of Bulletstorm and Splatterhouse, best part was Bulletstorm still had the online pass in it!

You aren't the only one... I've seen a few others around, but I can't remember who they were on here.
Any Montgomery area CAGs want to go in on a toysRus B2G1 free deal? I'm really only after Batman:AC and would love to get it for $44 (damn Montgomery 10% tax)

Toys R Us at the Summit in Mountain Brook had Final Fantasy XIII2 for the 360 on the shelf today. It was priced at full retail. I did not try to buy it as I have not played the first one, so I don't know if the register will block the sale. Just thought someone might be interested in snagging it a few days early.
