The Target Clearance Thread

[CheapyD]

Since the Target deals are usually of the "your mileage may vary" type, let's keep all the target clearance deals in this thread.

Here is a fairly easy way to check if your local Target has the games on clearance without making the store clerk unlock the display case and price-scan a bunch of games. Very often, games may be on sale, but will not be marked as such.

BigDirty came up with this nice time saver. Respect his cheap ass skills.

1) Check this thread for games that have been reported on clearance.

2) Go to www.half.com (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1312731-1100794?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhalf.ebay.com%2Fproducts% 2Fgames%2Findex.cfm), http://bits.com/ or similar website and search for the game to locate its UPC code number. Its in the grey box underneath the box art graphic.

3) Go to www.schworak.com/upc/ , www.milk.com/barcode/ , or www.upcdatabase.com and enter the code so you can print out the UPC.

4) Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts and search for cheap ass deals!

FYI: "When a game's price ends with 8 cents, further reduction is possible, when it ends in 4 cents, that's the ball game, pick it up cause it's not going any lower. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction." - BigDirty

Princeton NJ Target

Hot Shots Golf 3 (Greatest Hits) 7.49

[Magician]

I saw Resident Evil at my local Target for about 7 dollars last week. And also Onimusha 2 for 10, a few months ago.

[minx]

aghhhhh!

I was just there yesterday and I didn't see the hotshot golf markdown :-(

Is it in the glass case?

on that wall directly behind the glass cases?

Or

that stand-alone display to the left of the glass game cases as your coming in to the electronic section specifically for greatest hits?

[BigDirty]

It's in the glass case, but it's not marked. You have to find a schmuck, I mean target employee, to get it out of the case. It seems that they are sometimes off on their clearance pricing there, hence why I like to go in with my own set of barcodes to scan. (Hence how I found out HSG3 is 7.50)

Also they have NHL 2003 marked for $14.98 but actually scans in at $19.99

[BigDirty]

Also, the Target in Oxford Valley/Langhorne PA, had a copy of Amplitude (I didn't check price because I own it, but a fine game indeed), and Sega NBA 2K3 and EA NCAA Football 2003 both for PS2 on clearance as well, in mass quantities.

[Briand1987]

Xbox Live Starter Kit 24.88

BigDirty....A Question About That Process.

How do you actually print off those UPCs into a Word Document. I wanted to make a whole sheet of UPCs so I could have all the games I wanted to check on one sheet.

I saved the image (saved it as an .xbm file). I was wondering if it would degrade the image if I saved it as someting else. I can't paste into Word with the current file format.

Also, is there anything I have to set up in order for the UPC to print properly or if I print it straight off the site, would those work?

Thanks.

[BigDirty]

I actually copy the image to the clipboard (highlight and right click) and then just shift-insert it into the document.

As far as degrading the image, I doubt that would be a problem. UPCs are 2 colors, technically only one, and compression main deals with colour depth.

Printing straight off the site should be fine, especially if you have a place where you don't have a problem cranking out page after page (like a work or school printer).

[thabizzle]

got Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner for $7.48!!

[unforeseen]

I found NFL2K3 and BloodRayne. Each for $4.98

[BigDirty]

East Windsor NJ:

Primal $7.48
Pride F/C $7.48
NCAA March Madness 2003 $7.48

All last copies.... check your stores to see if you can cash in on these deals

[Magician]

Does Target clearance their game every Monday, or is it random?

[BigDirty]

Depends on the location... it's Tuesday at most I've been to in the Mid Atlantic (NJ/PA/DE/NY/CT)

[PaP3rKuT]

i couldnt find Zone of the Enders nor shenmueII in any of my target...i guess it was sold out long before

Fremont, Ca Target

Blinx for $9.98 on ur price tag but it was scanned at 19.99

Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (PS2 & XBox)
Eternal Darkness (GC)
Goin' Quackers (GC)

The numbers half used don't match the ones in the Target system.

[Soft Nugget]

Apparently there is a bad batch of Primal that was released with NO CD's. Make sure to check the game before you leave the store. I went through 3 of these bad boys.

[BigDirty]

Thanks for the tip on that SN

[Llamadon]

just got Pride FC...$6.58.....wewt!

[Soft Nugget]

hows that stack up to tapout?

[Llamadon]

does better on www.gamerankings.com , but i haven't played UFC, nor this one for more than 3 minutes...

[BigDirty]

Pride, you see it, snag it... it's a great game..

Hot Shots Golf has returned to regular GH pricing (19.99) at Burlington and Cherry Hill, NJ stores. Not sure if its a universal change, kudos to the finders and those who got to take part on the deal.

Also Burlington NJ.... Primal $6.48

[Wshakspear]

just to add to the good gamecube deals going on, at a local (wixom, MI) Target, they had a few Cube/SSBM combo packs...for only $99. great game, great system..both of which i already have. Note the fact this is now the regular price for the system, just a limited time bundle (that past its time..)

[PaP3rKuT]

yup hot shot has went back to its normal price but i was still able to snag one because they had a tag that was still there so the guy had to give it to me...and i didnt even see primal nor pride fc in any of the 5 targets i went to...guess it was all gone...o wellz

[drfrielgood]

Wow, Wixom, MI. I just had a job interview at that Target today. They don't pay too much so I'm going to stick with my current job. I live about 10 minutes from Wixom. They aren't usually a very good Target for clearance, but I did pick up NBA 2K3 there for $6.50-something there.

[Wshakspear]

They'll be VERY good for clearance not too long from now. its still a relatively new store, so most of thier stuff hasnt had time to go down, that goes along with the fact its not very high traffic yet.

[Magician]

I officially love my Target.

If I haven't felt that way before, I do now.

I picked up Amplitude there for 7.48, clearanced. It wasn't in the Greatest Hits section, but instead, in the glass case, but marked down nonethless.

But the barcode scanning doesn't work for me. I wonder why. The price scanners doesn't seem to pick up on the barcodes.

[Scrubking]

The games section in my local target absolutely stinks! There are no deals whatsoever and the chepeast game is $20

[CameronPhD]

Muchos Kudos to the originators of this topic! :P

At my Target, Primal (in the loose value games section) had a sale sticker that said it was 20.98 marked down from 29.99 and then scanned for 7.48. :)

I asked an employee to check the price on Amplitude for me and pulled one from behind the glass and it scanned for 7.48, while labeled 39.99. :D

We need to find a Target employee who can run the entire games section a couple of times a week with their handheld computer system and report back as to what has dropped in price. :idea:

[video_gamer324]

My local Target has about 50 Sony PS1 memory cards for $7.48. Half off of regular price, but 3rd party memory cards are even cheaper.

[Wario64]

Anyone want to buy me a copy of Amplitude for me? I'll pay plus shipping :|


My Target sold out of Ampltiude when it was $17 months ago

[PaP3rKuT]

well all the targets around my area is sold out of primal and amplitude...so i guess i got no luck o wellz

[BigDirty]

We need to find a Target employee who can run the entire games section a couple of times a week with their handheld computer system and report back as to what has dropped in price. :idea:

While I'm not an employee, I am one of the originators of the creation and scanning of barcodes. I usually go in 2/3 times a week to look around, see what's been sitting on the shelves and come up with a barcode list to look at prices.

When something like the HSG-3 and Blinx deals roll around, it's usually because someone stumbled upon them, since GH/PH games usually don't leave the 19.99 price point.

But if there are any games that you want checked, posts them with the UPC # (usually from Half.com or Tradestop.com), and I'll do my best to get them checked out.

[JohnEX]

i just got HSG3 this weekend for 7.48. it scanned for 19.99 but the clearance tag was still there so i got it for that price. just a tip if you're using printed barcodes to check prices. look for clearance tags also.

[BigDirty]

What target in Jersey had them marked down? Most that I've been in are "tagless targets" in which most of the time, things never actually get a clearance tag that are on clearance. (and things that are marked on clearance, aren't)

[MaxBiaggi3]

I picked up the last copy of BloodRayne (Gamecube version) for $7.48 at my local Target (Greenbelt, MD). The clerk at the register did a double-take when the price range up and said he'd been looking for a game to buy. I'd originally stopped by to check on Primal, but I couldn't find any copies of that. :(

[tenzor]

just came back from my local target in anaheim hills, ca and picked up Legend of Wrestling II for $7.48. It was for the playstation2. They also had scropion king for gamecube for $3.48, i mean both weren't good games, but for those prices it ain't bad. Legend of Wrestling II wasn't as bad as i thought when i played it afterwards

[SteveMcQ]

Not really amongt the best clearance deals out there, but Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is $19.99 at Target. Everyone else seems to have it for $30.

Same price for The Italian Job as well...both for Xbox.

I didn't check whether this applied for the PS2 versions. I hope this wasn't in the Sunday ad.

[explorer1990]

Over the last two days I've picked up Primal and ZOE:2nd Runner for $7.48 Each. ZOE was tagged at $49.99 and Primal was tagged at $29.99.

Thanks to Cheapassgamer.com and UPCdatabase.com. It's getting alot easier to verify deals at Target.

[CameronPhD]

I did as this post suggested and made a list of games I might be interested in if the price was right and went and scanned them this morning.
Has anyone else tried to scan the barcodes for Shinobi and Mark of Kri?
The scanner recognized them both (at least what I got from half.com and typed into upcdatabase) as Sony software but said the price was $0.00!
The store did not have either of those games so I could not proceed further.
Has this happened to anyone else trying this?

[BigDirty]

When the price is scanned at $0.00, it has something to do with it no longer being stocked. What happens if there is an instance where the product in question is in stock, the proper thing to do (some employees won't bother doing this, saying that it can't be sold, or make a price up) is that they check for the last sold price, and then sell it to you at that, which is normally between $3.50 and $7.50 depending on the title and store.

Good luck with your Targét bargain hunting

[explorer1990]

That happened to me yesterday when I picked up Primal. I scanned Terminator Dawn of Fate for PS2 and XBOX and Test Drive for PS2, all of them came up Value Software $0.00. And none of them were in the glass case.

[Llamadon]

hopefully i'm not repeating something, but.....

did anyone ever answer/figure out at what time games are clearanced on Mondays? Should we be waiting 'til later that night/Tuesday?

[JohnEX]

What target in Jersey had them marked down? Most that I've been in are "tagless targets" in which most of the time, things never actually get a clearance tag that are on clearance. (and things that are marked on clearance, aren't)

it was the Target on Rt9 south in freehold. like i said it was marked as clearance even though it scanned at 19.99. the guy gave it to me for the clearance price since the tag was still there. i assume he took the tag out right after my sale.
if it is marked on clearance you should definitely be able to get it at that price no matter how it scans.

[BigDirty]

I was just wondering because the Targets in East Windsor, Princeton, Menlo Park, Burlington (NJ), and Oxford Valley (PA) didn't have them tagged at all.

However on a side note, the NHL 2003 (XBX) are all clearance tagged at 14.98 in Princeton, even though they are scanning at $19.99.

[Soft Nugget]

what system was bloodrayne for. Im looking for the ps2 version.

[Captain Tarpals]

As was explained to me by a Target employee, if the item rings up at $0.00, then the item has been delisted and should have been sent back to warehouse. If the item is still in the store, in your hands for example, they have to sell it to you, but at the last price the item was listed at. The problem seems to be that only the hand scanners that employees have can find this listed price and they usually have to walk you to the register so they can tell the cashier since the cashier's register will show $0.00 as well. You can find some pretty good deals some of the time, but usually the last price is the clearance price as discussed on this website, ie. $7.48. I haven't ran across any great deals like games less than a dollar.

[explorer1990]

I forgot to post this yesterday: When I picked up Primal at Target I also got a PS2 Controller for $12.48 clearance. It was a Smoke Black (Transparent) controller. Which worked out for me because that's what my other controller is.

So check the accessory aisle of your local Target.

[alfonsosoriano]

my target had gungrave for 7 red faction for 10, got them both
then they havent had much recently
i did see an action replay for 15, but no use for that to me, i play mostly sports games and i can live without BIG HEADS

[DisturbedZen]

A few things I would like to say..

If you post here.. Please post your location so we know where u are! And thanks for all these great deals! Although my Target in Rosemead has shit..

I saw these deals yesterday..
Offical Sony PSOne Dualshock(One) $10
Offical Sony PSOne Memory Cards $7 or $8
Target Branded Svideo Cables for all/most systems 7$ [I paied 10 a month ago and its great.. No more cables.. Just one.. With S-Video, highly recommened]

Also saw..

Computer Speakers.. Can be plugged into the systems... [Altec Model GS100] Has subwoofer... Works great! I love it! 15$

[SteveMcQ]

Target Southport...aka Naptown.

$3.78 PSOne Official Memory Cards
The Italian Job $19.99 Xbox

Not really a great deal, but I just wanted to ask a question about those S-Video cables. Is there some sort of recognition in the splitter that switches the device that's on?

I saw that all the plugs feed into just one A/V cable, so is that how that works? Or is there even enough slack in the console connectors to allow that?

[DisturbedZen]

You can have all ur systems plugged if thats what ur asking.. Although you can only use one at a time.. =P

Just one AV cable yes.. But theres little room to split.. Basicly... All ur sytems have to be pretty damn close to each other.. Or right on top of each other..

[PaP3rKuT]

Union City, Target

Dynasty Tactics - $7.48

[CameronPhD]

My local Target has had some games with $12.99 stickers across their upper right corners for some time. Today I decided to scan them and see what happened.
Mad Maestro (PS2) (which is in stock) scanned $0.00.
Haven: Call of the King (PS2) scanned $3.24.

[BigDirty]

Target East Windsor NJ, PSOne Mad Catz Memory Cards, $1.48 each.... what a deal

Target Princeton, NJ- Turok Evolution $3.48, still not a deal ;)

A note about the Princeton NJ one, they have moved out a bunch of clearance product from behind glass that now scans at $0.00, but rings in at <$20..... beware. (Titles included Resident Evil GC, Eternal Darkness, SpongeBob/Spatula)

[explorer1990]

Target - Southwestern, Pennsylvania

I noticed today that Target has set up an end-cap with several PS2 titles that range from $9.99 to $12.99.

The ones I can remember are Blade 2, WHRA Racing and Wrath of Cortex.

There were maybe three other titles that didn't interest me. Sorry.

Happy hunting guys & gals.

[idahoxbox]

How do you go about using price scanners on the printed bar codes? Do you ask an employee to do scan them, or is there some way to scan them yourself?

[savedadough]

About the 0.00 thing: I went to my local Target (Tuscaloosa, AL) and scanned Gungrave (one was not in the glass case, 6 or 7 were) and it came up at 0.00. I asked the store clerk about it, he scanned it at the register, and it came up at 0.00 again. He told me that when this happens, it is salvage stock and is sold at 90% off of the last sale price. He told me that the last price they had for it was $12.99, so at 90% off, I was able to buy it for $1.29!! Ask about this at the Targets near you, you might be able to get a game cheaper than cheap. :D

The first post does not answer my question. Having not worked in retail, this question may seem really stupid but I have no idea how to scan them myself. How do you go about doing this?

[CameronPhD]

There are some "scan-it-yourself" price check units in various places around the store. If the games are loose, grab a handful, walk over, and go scan-happy. If you are curious about prices of games locked behind the glass and do not want to ask an employee to scan each title once, do the UPC trick described in the first post and take your own printout of barcodes to these scanners and enjoy the funny looks people give you when you pull a sheet of paper loaded with barcodes out of your pocket.

And the question from the "uniformed security gaurd" about what you're doing. Be honest and they don't mind. It only happened to me once, and I do this multiple times a week, at multiple targets, so it's not too likely to happen to anyone else, except maybe minx. ;)

[BigDirty]

You're probably going to have to wait until about January to start picking up the clearance deals. These that are left are pretty much summer left-over product that's being cleared out. Chances are that if your targét opened today, they probably never would have had any of this stuff in stock.

[Soft Nugget]

yeah, most of it is missing in my area, except the few odds and ends behind the glass case.

[ImReallyTired]

Are you in NJ?
One just opened up near Clifton like today.

[cegha]

no im actually in south carolina and on there grand opening (yesterday) they had some good deals i might mention.

jak 2 $39.99
Kingdom hearts $19.99 (greatest hit)
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance $19.99 (greatest hit) i really reccommend getting this if u don't have it.
Final Fantasy Tactics advance $27.88
Matrix Reloaded $16 (comes out tomorrow :D )
Battlefield 1942 $24.99 PC
Halo $42.76 (released friday) PC

not shure on prices of the others how they orignally were but says they were on sale.

[BigDirty]

Princeton NJ:

NCAA Football 2003 (PS2) $7.48

NHL 2003 (XBX) still marked at $14.99 even though its ringing $19.99

[BigDirty]

Looks like a deal at all targets (but not all variants available at all stores), Lexar Media in 32 and 64 MB sizes is on clearance. Available in Memory Stick, Compact Flash, and Smart Media.

I got a 32 meg CF for $14.50.... (East Windsor) with similar deals on MS same size

[minx]

be very careful to buy very old stock or very new on those Lexar cards, because according to the people Palm.com messageboards, the company temporarily switched its OEM supplier from Panasonic to SanDisk for a while--and SanDisk is notoriously bad.



Not only are SanDisk cards slow,but they have been widely reported hard resetting PDAs.

you cannot tell from the outside of the package which make of card you are getting, although once opened according to some people the following ways can distinguish the two Lexar cards

Panasonic have black print serial numbers and are made in Japan

SanDisk have white print serial numbers and are made in Taiwan

If you insert the card into a PDA, you can tell who made it by selecting "card info"

I saw the old big x-box controllers for $15 at the Lombard IL Target.

[MaxBiaggi3]

I picked up the last large "Duke" controller for Xbox at my local Target (Greenbelt, MD) yesterday for $15. I wasn't going to buy it, but they didn't have any of the reduced price smoke PS2 controllers I wanted and the Duke I did get was the last one there. (I haven't seen it anywhere else locally since they started phasing them out.)

I seem to recall Blockbuster having a $15 sale on them a few months ago, but my local stores were out of them when I went by. Well, I've got a spare now should anything happen to my original.

[CameronPhD]

A previous post mentioned that when games scan at $0.00, they are supposed to be sold at 90% off of their last sale price. No such luck for me at my Target. When the following games scanned $0.00, the cashier got one of their handheld doofers and charged a price that it said.
Mad Maestro - $3.24
Haven - $3.24
Pride FC - $7.48
Amplitude - $7.48
Yup, Pride and Amp are now scanning $0.00 at my Target.
There was also a PlayStation FIFA World Cup game that scanned $0.00 and they wanted $6.50 for.
Darkstone (PlayStation) marked down 50% from $9.99 to $4.98.

[JSweeney]

The target packaged Mad Catz off-brand Gamecube memory card 59's can be found for 1.99. Also, any of the slightly older E-reader games (I found Golf, Tennis, and Donkey Kong 3) can be had for 1.24.

Clearance stuff can be mixed in with the regular product, can be at the end of an aisle, or in with the unlocked "Value" games. Also sometimes game clearance can be found with books, music, and video, so check there as well. Many times the product goes unmarked, hence the barcode trick described early in the thread (for games under glass).

Why does my Target have to suck!!! I want Xbox controller!

It took me trips to the following targéts over a month and change stretch to find it at that price:

Princeton NJ, East Windsor, NJ, Burlington, NJ, Freehold, NJ, Neshaminy, PA, Langhorne, PA, Philadelphia PA (Snyder Ave), Cherry Hill, NJ and Menlo Park, NJ

Actually, yes, yes I can, but as of last night Vexx was still $19.99 at East Windsor NJ, and I have never seen a "My Street" at a Target, can I ask where at?

[CameronPhD]

"My" deals are from a Target in Houston, TX area. "My" store has 4 or 5 copies of "My Street".
I believe what you said about Vexx. Every time I'm in Target, I check out the "value priced" section for new additions. A week or 2 ago I noticed that the 3 games I previously mentioned had been placed there with no pricing. I took them to a scanner (only checked Piglet in case it could be trade-in fodder) and didn't think the prices were anything special so didn't mention it.
Yesterday, things looked the same.
Today, they had red clearence stickers and I double checked with the scanner. There was an XBOX Vexx without a sticker that I checked and I think it was $15.

how about just signing up for a wedding regestry to get your own gun!!! :twisted:

[polobearjp]

I was at Target the other day and saw the following PS2 games for $9.98
-Vexx
-Devil May Cry
-Virtua Fighter 4 (not the one that just recently came out)

Oh yeah, and I saw two copies of Dynasty Warriors 3 XL for the cheapass price of $7.48...

[BigDirty]

Caught a couple GBA "Starter Kits" for $5 and various change at princeton and east windsor NJ. It included power cord, "power grips", magnifier, case, etc.

I've only seen them in INDIGO

[drfrielgood]

I was at my local Target today. They had one copy of Vexx (PS2) for $9.88, one copy of Virtua Fighter 4 for $9.88 and one copy of Unlimited Saga for $14.98. I already have VF4 and am not a big RPG fan, so I stashed Vexx in hopes it will drop to $4 this coming Monday. They also had 3 copies of Pride FC, each marked $29.99. I did a price check on one of them and it scanned $0.00. I then took it to the checkout, thinking that I would end up paying no more than a few bucks for the game. The cashier rang the game up and then typed in the price of $29.99. I politely turned it down, cause there was no chance in hell I was paying $30 for that game.

[CameronPhD]

For the past few weeks Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2) has been in a group of value priced games near the registers advertised as $16.99. Out of curiosity, I picked one up and it scanned at $9.99.

In response to the previous post, if you want Pride FC you should go back to the store and the next time it scans $0.00 have them check the price on one of the handheld doofers many of the associates carry around. The last I am aware is that they were $7.48 in that system but they may have fallen to the $3.24 mark by now.

[Mustang O-Line 75]

Well i nmy area the 3-piece speakers that they used to give away free with systems are now 8 dollars with tax in California. I am using them on megaman x7 and they sound pretty good.

[sandrockgundam219]

I'll be going tuesday, any good deals there while I'm picking up a cd?

[snoser]

Soul Calibur 2 for the XBox is on sale for $40 this week

They also had Xbox Live with the full version of mech assualt for $50, a savings of about $20...too bad i didn't have the money of I would've bought it...

[BigDirty]

Target East Windsor NJ:

Rayman Arena, PS2, $6.30 (Sunday price, may drop today)

Not quite as good as the $4.99 EB Deal for the XBX edition, but for PS2 exclusive owners, it's a deal on that end.

[Tricky]

I got a Nintentendo indigo\clear controller for $9.99 at Target.

[DisturbedZen]

I got a Nintentendo indigo\clear controller for $9.99 at Target.

What?!?! Gamecube controller for 10$?? Im assuming first party.. Also.. What target?! Gotta get some more for Mario Kart..

[polobearjp]

I was at Target today and found two $13.98 games for Xbox.

-Kung Fu Chaos
-World Series Baseball 2K3

[drfrielgood]

Got Wreckless: The Yazuka Missions (GCN) for $6.30 at Target. They also had NBA Live 2003 (20.90), Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (13.90), Kung Fu Chaos (13.90), Rayman Arena (PS2-6.30), and NBA Starting Five (5.00)

[Gothic Walrus]

Seems like as good a place to ask as any...

The Targets around me are clearing out No One Lives Forever 2, and right now, it consistently rings up at $13.48. If anyone notices a price drop for the game, could you post it here?

[Monsta Mack]

Maximo for $9.88 greatest hits version. Last copy.

[guessed]

Maximo for $9.88 greatest hits version. Last copy.

There are 3 targets relatively near me. One recently remodeled, and has no deals (all the games in their value section are street price or higher). One had no clearance section whatsoever. The last one I checked had several copies each of 5 PS2 games. I don't remember all of them, but 2 were Maximo and Vexx. Both scanned at ~$14 as of Tuesday evening. Very upsetting. They did have a decent pair of $1.98 swim trunks, but I decided to pass.

[Leggo]

my target (queens, ny) had max payne for xbox for 4.98 (i bought 2), as well as serious sam and a few other titles that were sold out.

[Jumpman]

This was in Okemos Michigan (Just east of Lansing) and all of the eReader games they had were clearanced for $1.09. They were back on an end-cap in the toy section, not with the baseball cards or the electronics.

[pachi]

y target (queens, ny) had max payne for xbox for 4.98 (i bought 2), as well as serious sam and a few other titles that were sold out.

Wsh i had scanned that one :-(.

ANywas they had Virtua Fighter 4 for $9.98. last copy of GC Wreckless for $6.48, NFL2K3 (xbox)- $6.48, and 57 (I counted) LOTR: Fellowships for the PS2 for $9.98 each.

[DreamSymphony]

Xenosaga for $15, I just might have to buy that interactive movie

[minx]

Princeton target

Xenosaga $20.98

unlimited saga $20.98

Picked up both tonight

already starting to regret Xenosaga though

Have very little interest in this game beyond its Xenogears ties --which I never even finished

Now that I have it, and have had a chance to read the manual, my interest has dropped to zero

maybe I'll get lucky and it will make a decent monster rancher disk:-)

[KingKhoiCorp]

OMG...this may be a bad game but, i got it cause it was too cheap...

Riding Spirits $3.25!!!!! :shock:

it's a motercycle game that's GT ish.

[optimusprime]

The Target store on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst, NY has Xenosaga for PS2 marked down to $14.99......absolutely smoking deal.

[drfrielgood]

Got Ready to Rumble Boxing Round 2 for PS2 at a Target today. The game is old as dirt but I enjoyed the original on N64. The game rang up as $0.00 but one of the guys on the sales floor used his fancy big price checking gun and it came up as $2.85.

[Flipzides]

Tukwila, WA Target:

Xenosaga: $20.98 (will probably drop to $14.98 w/in the week or 2 because they have like 10 copies)
WWF Crush Hour: $7.98 (it's probably not even worth that much.)
Unlimited Saga: $20.98 (same as Xenosaga..will probably drop soon.)

[mdm]

Resident Evil 3 $15 at Chaska, MN Target

It appeared that Xenosaga was still $30 here... maybe they didn't make the transition to clearance yet.

Anyone know what day games make their way to the clearance shelf?

[The Take Out Bandit]

Saw Unlimited Saga for $14.98 last night in the Cleveland area.

[MaxBiaggi3]

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly for GCN is now $9.99 at Greenbelt, MD, Target. Only a few copies left at that price, though.

[Payne08]

I saw MGS 2 Substance (PC version) for $13.98. you need a dvd-rom to play the game. this was in the chicago land area.

[DisturbedZen]

Rosemead Plaza, Ca Target

Wreckless 6.98 Gamecube

Good game.. If you havent beat the hell outta it pick it up..

[MrPayne]

If mgs2 is on sale for that price I'm returning nolf2 and buying mgs2!

Anyone know what day games make their way to the clearance shelf?

while it's been mentioned that they do markdowns on Monday, i've noticed that when i've gone on Tues. nights, my Target is adding things to all their clearance in Electronics...prices might change Mon, but the clearance area isn't updated for another day...

do they tend to drop prices on games of which they only have 1 or 2 copies to make space? If so, has anyone ever tried buying a few copies, waiting for the price to drop on the last one, then returning them and buying at the new price? seems like a lot of work, but meh, i get bored....

[CameronPhD]

Do the barcodes for Official PS2 Greatest Hits change once they earn the red banner? I'm wondering why Maximo and Virtua Fighter 4 are still $9.98 here in TX.

[BigDirty]

Do the barcodes for Official PS2 Greatest Hits change once they earn the red banner? I'm wondering why Maximo and Virtua Fighter 4 are still $9.98 here in TX.

Actually there's no change. And the pricing varies from store to store. The VF4/Maximo/Resident Evil: CV and others are still $9.98 in Princeton, while they are $4.98 in East Windsor (Which is less than 10 miles away). You might want to check back near the head of next week for another drop.

[The Take Out Bandit]

Unlimited Saga and Xenosaga hit $7.98 today.

Woohoo!

Looks like Auto Modellista may be up on the sacrificial altar next. It scans as discontinued, and some of our locations have moved it from the display case to the budget shelves. Still no drop, but I'm hoping for one in the weeks to come.

[Flipzides]

i've always wanted to play Xenosaga, but never got the chance, and that's a pretty cheap deal, wonder if they have any more copies left?

At the Tukwila, WA Target (by Southcenter Mall), there were lots of Xenosaga copies, probably around 8-10. I haven't been in a week so I don't know if they have lowered the price down to $14.98 or even lower than that (from 20.98).

[BigDirty]

Princeton NJ:

No One Lives Forever 2, PC, 9.98

Theres actually a whole bunch of clearance PC titles 2 aisles removed from the section, closer to the register area of the store.

[Llamadon]

was NOLF2 marked at 9.98 or did you have to scan it? I have a few copies at mine marked at 20-something with the clearance tag.

[BigDirty]

NOLF2 was marked at 13.98, but scanned at 9.98. Never go by the price that's listed on the tag... always double check.

[Gothic Walrus]

Princeton NJ

Sonic Adventure GBA $7.49

Fisrt note: the game's name is Sonic Advance. That said...I'm surprised they still have it. I picked this up for $6.50 at my Target shortly after I got my GBA in July. It's a good game if you can find it - very reminiscent of the Genesis games. Bit odd how the price went up, though...

Same difference ;), but anyway, different targets are on different price tiers. Instances I have come across including seeing games like Primal which went for 6.50 in Burlington go for 7.50 20 miles up the road in Princeton (Both NJ of course)

You also can see how there's some slight variances in pricing from store to store on the same product through this thread, and it usually is about a buck's difference.

And actually I came across it laying on a toy clearance end-cap, so who knows how long it was actually floating in the store, so I wouldn't go running to your target expecting it.

I also found some "misfit" games loose in the bottom of the display case that I'll check the pricing on tonight (and these are 1-2 year old titles).

EDIT: No deals on the Misfit titles, which included Tenchu 3, 4 X 4 Evo 2, and some GHs in standard packaging

[E-Z-B]

Marlton, NJ: Onimusha, Greatest Hits (PS2): $4.98

[BigDirty]

East Windsor NJ: F1 Career Challenge $4.98

also all of the Capcom clearance GHs are gone.

Side Note:

When I was waiting to get the F1CC out of the case a woman had her purse snatched. Or so she thought. The whole section of the store was up in arms, but turns out, she left it in her car.

those gamecube ports were bare boned right? 14.98 seems reasonable, never played 3.

[Monsta Mack]

There was only one copy left of Dark Tommrow at my Target and they wanted 14.98. I'm waiting for it to drop to atleast 4$ before I buy it :P

The RE ports have a higher resolution and less loading times, thats about it.

Can games ever ring up cheaper at the register than the "scan it yourself" machines indicate? My local Target still hasn't done the latest 50% cut on Maximo, Virtua Fighter 4, Unlimited Saga (PS2) that many have found the past couple weeks; still $10, $10, and $14 here.

However, I did notice that my store already had Freedom Fighters (PC) marked down from $40 to $20...of course, Amazon has it for $16.

Nope.. they're all hooked into the same pricing system. My advice is that if you can regularly check back on mondays or tuesdays, do so, because from my observations it looks like there's a tier system that certain stores (which appear to be higher volume), have an extended period to go to "final clearance pricing". I've seen stuff be priced at $6.48 in Burlington that goes for $20.98 the same day in Princeton, but like the lead post says, your milage may vary.

[puck_Q]

I've seen items scan crazy at the aisle scanners before.

Recently I saw the PS2 Arc the Lad scan for $0.00 at an aisle scanner, but obviously that wasn't right. Of course, it scanned for regular price at the cashier (well, actually on a hand scanner).

I thought I'd fallen into the good stuff for a while there.

Edit: Heh, reading the rest of the thread helps. Ignore me, I hadn't done that until just now.

All great deals, although Socom and Ratchet are technically not clearance items, just part of the greatest hits selection on sale this week for $15 a pop (cool that you got the stripeless ones, though).

[JimmieMac]

Yeah, I refuse to buy them with the GH stripe, that's just the way I am, so I had to buy them while they were still in circulation without them.

[lurknomore]

I bought my first red stripe Greatest Hits game. VF Evolution, but there was no other way around it. Bastards.

[SteveMcQ]

Yeah...I don't like the GH versions either. Haven't bought one yet, then again, I don't wait around long around to pick 'em up as GH.

I was able to find a non-GH version of Kingdom Hearts the other day and I had to pick up another copy.

[Saurus]

Just picked up Dark Cloud and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for $4.98 at a Chicago burbs Target...TONS of Dark Clouds but only 1 more Resident Evil.

Nightercaster 2 has the strange phenomenom in co-op where if you and your partners characters get too close together, they will fuse into a singular being which will not move an unstoppable four-armed beast with lead feet.
Avoid it until it drops well below 5 dollars.

I have been to 4 Targets down in my Area (Miami-Dade County, in Florida) and none have any clearance at this time, if anyone sees a X Box live set for clearance could you please let me know, as I would gladly pay cost,shipping plus extra for your time. Thanx again.

[jasonditz]

I just tried out my local target and its got a ton of PS2 and Xbox games, too bad I was looking for GCN games.

They had two cube games, both crap, and no GBA games at all reduced.

Jason could you list the x games, your target had please? Thanx

[jasonditz]

Jason could you list the x games, your target had please? Thanx

I didn't really pay too much attention since I don't have an Xbox, but I noticed they had about a million copies of Spiderman for $16.50. Most of what they had was just regular priced platinum hits.

[drfrielgood]

I picked up Code Veronica X today for $4.98. They also had Burnout (PS2) for $11, and a bunch of other clearance games for $14-$20. None that were worth a price that high. Also, I got Activision Anthologies for $10. Not on clearance, but still a great deal.

Princeton NJ:

Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2) $5

Hah, we've got a lot of people who check out that Wixom, MI Target. I go to that Target and also the ones in Livonia (near AMC 20) and Brighton. Wixom's clearance section is in a weird spot.

[CameronPhD]

It has been a while since I have scanned a self-made page of barcodes as described at the start of this thread, but I noticed some movement of games out of the locked case at my Target that may be a sign of things to come or may have only been to relieve some stress from the employees this weekend.
But, many PS2 games that had been labeled as $39.99 behind the glass, were now out and scanning $29.99 at the self-scan doofers. The ones I tested at my store were The Getaway and Dark Cloud 2...but there were a ton more that had been added to the "cheap" section this week.

[bmulligan]

Well, at least now I know who's been getting all those cheap ass games before I get there. I go to the one in Farmington on Grand River off 9 mile next to Gamestop and Kohl's but I haven't seen any clearance games there for a long while. You probably got there first again!!

Brighton Target has had Wolverine's Revenge(GBA) $20.80 and Action Replay (GC)$20.80 for almost 3 weeks now-- still there today even after all the Black Friday traffic.

[drfrielgood]

I got the last copy of RE: Code Veronica at the Brighton Target for $4.98 last week. It was still marked $19.99 and was in the Greatest Hits endcap.

A couple other good unmarked deals are Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 at the Target in Livonia off on Haggerty near 8 Mile. It's unmarked, but if you find a worker with one of the big guns it'll come up at $2.35 or so. I got one of the last two copies about three weeks ago, so I don't know if the other is still there. And at the Wixom Target, there's a couple copies of Pride FC marked for $29.99, but it comes up for $7.48 on the big gun.

I rarely go to that Farmington Target though, bmulligan. My cousins live right near it, but I really don't venture much further than Haggerty. So you've got that Target all to yourself!

[ted630]

I just picked up Dynasty Warriors 4 (Xbox) for $29.99 at the Bolingbrook, IL Target. All of the other games in the clearance section wasn't worth buying. Does anyone know which other Chicaoland Targets have alot of good games on clearance?

a penny for zelda bonus disc

[bmulligan]

I don't think they are actually selling the Zelda disk for $0.01

All of them are marked not for resale and scan as a penny for inventory purposes. At least, that's what the guy at my local Target told me. They are giving them out with a system purchase and they're in the locked cabinet at my Target with all the GC systems. Anyone else know differently?

[JibbaJabba]

I bought 11 (all they had) of the Zelda OOT/MQ for $0.01 about a couple of weeks ago.
I turned around and sold them on ebay and made $280.

I would go back and find a different employee and try to get all the discs.

I bought 11 (all they had) of the Zelda OOT/MQ for $0.01 about a couple of weeks ago.
I turned around and sold them on ebay and made $280.

I would go back and find a different employee and try to get all the discs.

Also these discs were soppost to be given away with the purchase of the Wind Waker not the system. I think the guy is either on crack or just stupid and has these confused with the Collector's Edition Discs(which are inside the system box).

[thingsfallnapart]

JIbba come on man...seriously...theres 10 people out there that arent gonna get a disc now cause of that.

What if you were 10, and you asked your parents for a cube knowing youd get a zelda disc with it...they goto target and just get the cube and thats it. Then on christmas working you opened up the cube and didnt get the zelda disc with it?

[Ben_F]

Yeah Jibba, thats not cool, 280 profit or not.

I would have been one seriously pissed of little kid.

[CameronPhD]

My local Target has a whole tray of the 4-game Zelda Collection Discs (not the OOT/MQ version) locked behind the glass. I guess they are for the GameCubes that were already stocked before the new "bundles" came out.

To follow up on one of my previous posts, other games that were moved out from behind the glass and dropped from $40 to $30 recently are (all for PS2):
Chaos Legion
Auto Modelesta
Devil May Cry 2

[JibbaJabba]

OK people you are aware there are two different Zelda discs right?

The ones I grabbed were the OOT/Master Quest discs that were pre-orders for Wind Waker (released 9 months ago).
They were placed with all the other clearenced games on the end cap so I grabbed them.


I have never seen the COLLECTOR's Discs(CURRENT promotion) seperate from the Cube.

HMMM

[ryosnk]

The scanning only allows you to check prices. The store must be equipped with a self-service UPC scanner. Only stores I know that use it are Target, KMart, Wal Mart, and TRU. It only assists you in checking the actual price when something is behind glass, so you don't have to hunt down a register jockey to unlock and tell you the price. Target is the biggest culprit for having items behind glass and mistagged/untagged.

Can anyone tell me the UPC code for the Zelda OOT/ Master Quest Bonus Disc? :-P

[CameronPhD]

Eternal Darkness for the GameCube is scanning $0.00 and is apparently $12.38 in the handhelds at my store.

[thingsfallnapart]

hey jibba would you be willing to trade a Master quest disc for a zelda collectors one with me?

[MaxBiaggi3]

I have a t TOys R US! I havent had time to check there on the prices.

I scanned the Zelda bonus disc at Toys R Us last week, and it came up to a ridiculous amount of like $59.99. It reminds me of the time I saw the SJRF/Sega GT 2002 Xbox bonus disc on sale separately at Best Buy for $99.99. I really doubt the store expects to sell too many of them.

Actually, I feel sorry for any consumers who are actually ignorant enough to pay that kind of money for it. Their money won't go very far if they spend it recklessly like this.

[tmbgman]

K, after some scanning I picked up-

Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 (PS2) - $4.98
Star Wars: Starfighter (PS2) - $3.28
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (X Box) -$4.98

Funny side story - As I was walking to the scanner I had so many games in my hand an old man asked me if I worked there and asked me where to find "Finding Nemo"!

......naturally, upset with the disturbance I punched him in the throat as hard as I could, and he fell to the ground with a sickly thurump and shook for like, five minutes. So that was pretty cool.

Helpful tip of the day when shopping @ Target--never wear a red shirt.

I have a cool red shirt I wear to the office sometimes, and damn if everytime I go to Target wearing it, someone doesn't ask me where they can find some merchandise-something-or-other... every time without fail.

Reminds me of that book, "Everything I learned about life I learned from Star Trek" -- the lesson being don't wear red shirts.

[rapsodist]

I live in L.A. so naturally there are a lot of people who wear UCLA Bruins colors blue and yellow. My friend has a UCLA polo shirt that's royal blue with a yellow logo on the left chest; everytime he wears that shirt while shopping at Best Buy, people mistake him for an employee. :lol:

[Freshwillis]

Whenever I forget to take my badge off after work and go to a store, people think I'm an employee. Even if employees of the store wear uniforms and no badges. :evil:

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy - Sale for $29.99

Backyard Football scanned for $4.95, although they don't have any copies (scanned the UPC).

Everything else appeared normal. No great deals, unfortunately.

I know what you mean. When I work as a little league umpire during the summer, our uniform is a red polo with khaki pants - just like a Target employee minus the nametag. I haven't been approached by a customer yet, but I certainly get plenty of looks from the other employees that seem to ask, "Do I know you, kid?"

Just got freedom force for $2.85

[Drakken]

[ayolykewhoa]

Freedom Force is for PC.

I picked up Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (GCN) tonight for $7.48. I also saw the preview disk for Gamecube marked down to $4.98, but I'll wait until it drops once more.

I was curious about the way employees seem to make up a sale price (last price in handheld, 90% off last price in handheld, etc.) whenever items scan $0.00 in the stores. So, out of curiosity, I asked if there was a company policy for this situation...not mentioning games directly. The answer, which appears to be that it is up to each individual store, follows in the reply I got:

Thank you for your e-mail regarding merchandise that is unsold after
markdowns.

Target is a trend retailer that wants to provide you the latest in
merchandise at the lowest possible prices. We will markdown items that have
been discontinued or are seasonal products in order to make room for new
products. Any merchandise that has not been sold after going through our
markdown and clearance process is considered salvage merchandise. Target
often donates salvage merchandise to local non-profit organizations, or
sells it to a salvage vendor. In the rare occasions where salvage
merchandise is still on the sales floor, the store is empowered on how to
handle this merchandise.

Event Sales is a national salvage company that purchases Target salvage
merchandise whenever a local non-profit organization is not available to
take the items we wish to donate. If you are interested in purchasing
salvage merchandise from Event Sales, please call: 612-781-1502.

I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any
further concerns regarding this matter, please contact Target Guest

[AvidPs2GMR]

I am so ^&%#ing Pissed >.< my target doesn't have a bargain bin.Now everyones getting really awsome deals and I get squat.Aarrggghhhh

[ps2jin]

The Targets around here don't have crap either :(

[Regus]

Toms River, NJ

No great deals, unfortunately.
I feel your pain. Both of our local targets never see any decent deals.

[bmulligan]

Most of the Targets by me have relocated the clearance bin to a rear endcap by the book and magazine isle. It seems they have also slowed their clearancing as they shelves have not been re-stocked in weeks. Brighton, Livonia, Holt, Lansing, Wixom and Okemos, Michigan.

[ps2jin]

I wish all the stores had clearance stuff....i would go to Target more often then

[MaxBiaggi3]

Before you give up in frustration over not having a bargain bin at your local Target, remember that a lot of times the real bargains are behind the glass case anyway. It's an extra pain to get to them because you have to ask the register/supply jockey to get them out for you.

Just look for the reduced price items you've seen listed here behind the glass case at your local Target, and then ask one of the monkeys to get the game(s) you're interested in for you. A "bargain bin" per se is not necessary as long as your Target has the reduced price games in stock.

[Drakken]

I asked a Target employee to scan Unlimited Saga (behind the glass), since it still showed it at $50. He said he was sure it was still $50, apparently it had been recently tagged. It's hard to believe they still have it at that price...

[Monsta Mack]

Yeah, you guys gota catch a cashier in electronics and ask them to scan the games. Most of the bargains are behind the glass. Get someone with a telezone/hand scanner and have him scan all the games through the glass.

[Lord Alfred]

My local Targets do not have a "bargain bin" per say. There is a section of "Greatest Hits" style games but that's it in the game section.

What you have to look for is the "Clearance" endcaps. Both of my local Targets have two that sometimes feature games. One is near the magazines and PC games, and then another on the far end of the healthcare aisles. There's like two endcaps of deoderant and then one marked clearance. The cheap games are usually piled up on the bottom shelf with some other stuff hanging on hooks above. I don't know why they make them so hard to find.

[BigDirty]

This is why we also came up with the plan to print your own barcodes. Hence you can check without having to harass the register monkey, or have to argue the price with them.

[LiquidKil]

Lord Alfred, seriously. You think they want to put the crappy clearance endcap at like the front of the store. It's not like they're advertising their clearance stuff. We're lucky they're hard to find. If they were easy to find the deals would be too hard to get. All it takes is a little patience and effort to get the best deals.

This is a technique used by lazy employees to piss you off. Provided it isn't in the clearance bin next week, ask them to take it down for you to buy, after they scan it and ask for the money if the total they ask for is 50 bucks just tell em you dont want it. They cant really do anything to you about that.
