I just got back from my local BB and they had 3 copies, I'll try to go back tonight and get one for you. If you can find an extra copy of Metal Arms/PSO/Voodoo Vince we can just swap out even, or if you could grab me a copy of each, I'll throw in some cash. I'll let you know if I found a copy for you.

Did these price reductions go into effect today?

I'm just trying to think if they're anything special about TODAY... Monday, May 24. It's not like Halo 2 is coming out tomorrow and they're trying to make room.

Whatever, if I can get some cheapass deals outta this I won't complain!

I hope I can go tonight, but I'll see.

Also, were they all marked 4.99? Thanks...

05-24-2004, 03:57 PM
Heh as I said I'll check myself tonight. Chances are everything I need'll already be there, but I'll leave 2k4 alone if it is there and those games that other guy wanted is there. Heh maybe a 4.99 trading topic should be started soon like we did with the .01 guides.

Just came back from the local Best Buy in Bridgewater, NJ, and the only title they had for $4.99 was Haven: Call of the King for PS2.

None of the other games mentioned here were anywhere in the store, with the exception of RTK7.

And I -just- bought Gladius for $20 from EB! Argh!

God hates NJ for some reason, I can't think of why...

The BB in Newark, DE carried only Jack and Shit.

And they were all outta jack.

Annoyingly, I went to the BB in wilmington during lunch and I didn't know about this deal. So while I browsed nothing stood out. Shoulda asked because they were repricing things. I'm sure they had some stuff there but can't remember. Will have to try tomorrow, but it'll probably be picked over by then.

Man, this deal is so nice it's worthy of three threads though if you can get in on it!

Wario Ware for GBA
Wario World for GC

Are you referring to the one at Arden Way? If so you just saved me a wasted trip.

Hey, didn't expect someone from Sacramento.

Sorry, I meant the one in Citrus Heights more specifically.

But you might not be lucky at the Arden one either. One of the guys I know at Gamestop had his girlfriend who works at the Arden BB hold some of the cheapo games.

Yes, I know that sucks. Maybe you'll find something decent though?

Drat. Sacramento here too...

Am I right in assuming that the Bestbuy.com website's "pick up in store" thing is an ACCURATE way to determine whether something is actually in stock? Or is it possible for a pile of games to be in stock but not be visible as "in store pickup" on Bestbuy.com?

I don't think you'll find many (or any) of the $5 games on the website. I looked specifically for PSO and the two wario games, but only got the new Wario Ware on GC listed.

So you'll have to look in person.

Wario World was $29.99 in 2 Southern California Best Buy stores.

Nephets
05-24-2004, 10:45 PM
Well, Best Buy sucks, for me that is.

They had NOTHING for 5 dollars, nor did they even recognize the deal, I had to TELL THEM about the deal, and they still had Clock Tower 3 for 20 bucks, when I told the guy about the deal, he scanned it, and well, it came up as 5 dollars. That was about the only game there for the deal, I didn't bother. No Wario World, Wario Ware, I-Ninja, Freedom Fighters, or anything.

However, I did go to Gamestop and bought two bad PSX games for a total of about 3.50 spent: WWF Attitude and Jupiter Strike, and went to Game Rush and got Alias, still in the original box, and has the instruction manual in-tact, and the disc is nice and clean, too.

So, I'm happy regardless. Though, I did want Freedom Fighters and I-Ninja for 5 dollars, though... :(

Guys, these prices ARE for EVERY store. Just because it's marked as regular price doesnt mean anything. My local BB had Indiana Jones for 29.99 and Crimson Sea for like 24.99. I made the guy check in the computer and he was like " huh gee whadoyouknow...they're 5 bucks each"

don't bother going to the Norwalk, CT store, they don't have much left. there were lots of $5 games, but pretty much had only one copy of each, so I picked up most of those.

I doubt we'll be going up that far anyways, but thanks for the notice. If you are looking for certain games in the area maybe we can give a hand to certain CT CAG. I'll be looking for every single title except for sports games, with the exceptions of NFL Hitz Pro and ESPN Football.

Yeah that is gay, i was one of the first few people in my BB and i only bought 4 games out a possible 20+ I had a couple hundred dollars in my wallet, i could have easily cleared them out... but who wants to ruin the sale for everyone. Still, first come first serve.

I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. After reading through most of these threads, the folks in Texas couldn't find anything. I think one person may have found one game somewhere, but that was it.

I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. After reading through most of these threads, the folks in Texas couldn't find anything. I think one person may have found one game somewhere, but that was it. Scroll through the threads if you want more details, but the impression I got was that pretty much anywhere in Texas didn't have the games or wasn't doing the deal.

They had it in Wichita Falls, Tx. But nowhere near what everyone said it was. They had about six or seven Xbox games for $5, and one or two PS2 and GCN games.

By the time I got there, everything had been pretty much picked through. I was hoping to snag a copy of Metal Arms, but they were sold outta them too.

I managed to pick up The Great Escape for $5. I was actually suprised by how fun this game is. It's a nice change of pace from my normal games, so I'm happy.

The BB I went to had everything marked, and I believe everyone else's had it the same way. You could always get them to scan it. If they don't come up at that price, I'd get them to call another Best Buy and see if they'll price match another store.

Maybe that could work for you.

Bah, went to my two local Long Island BB locations and came back empty handed. The ONLY one I saw was Sphinx; every other title listed here was MIA. This was at the Best Buy in Garden City on Old Country Road, and one in Levittown on Hempstead Tpke.

I should be glad I got in on a couple of the online deals, though!

If you're in the southern New England area you can pretty much forget it. The Warwick RI and North Attleboro MA locations had -- get ready -- MARY KATE & ASHLEY (GC) and BATTLE BOTS (GBA) for $4.99 and that's it. They didn't even have the prices wrong, since most of the sale titles simply weren't there to begin with. Oh well!

Just be sure you get the right system. There seems to be some confusion. Wario World and Wario Ware (GBA) are $5, Wario Ware GC is NOT. Batman Sin Tzu for XBOX is $5, Batman ST for GC is NOT. I've noticed some people are getting confused as to title and system and reporting back that it's not happening at their store. Just double check that it's exactly what's listed.

I just got back from the BB in Carbondale, Illinois and scored big time. I ended up getting the following for the Xbox, all for $5:

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
ESPN Football 2K4
Disney Extreme Skate Adventure
Wakeboarding Unleashed
The Italian Job
Bionicle
Rayman 3
Spyhunter

I also scored Soul Caliber 2 for $15 through a price match with Circuit City and the Gamer Gift Card coupon. I had absolutly no hassle with any part of transaction. The checkout guy was stunned when I walked up with 9 games until he saw that they were all $5 a piece. I had to walk him through the whole "activate the gift card then use it to pay for my games and the coupon too" but he thought it was a great idea and was going to use this "trick" the next time he buys a game. He said that employees don't get discounts on video games for whatever reason.
I did ask another salesperson if they were going to restock games that were out of stock and how long the sale was going to be. She said that the new $5 price was for good and that they would sell those games until BB no longer carried them. She also said that other games that were $50 they had just dropped to $20 so that they could move a massive amount of inventory. I flashed her a smile and asked her in the smoothest voice that I've got (I think she was scared) what the deal was, why was BB trying to dump all of these games so quick. She said it was E3. BB saw all the new stuff on the horizon and is making room, period. Is she right? Is she wrong? Is she crazy or full of shit? I don't know and I don't care because it ROCKS!
I will say that the stock was pretty well picked over and that they didn't have half the title listed in the master list, Otogi being the one that I want desperatly. So if anybody has Otogi and they want something else give me a hollar at bubbaswtp@yahoo.com and I'll see if I can find what ya need at our BB in Carbondale.

Nothing in Santa Clara, CA. Was told one person bought every single game (one of the workers tried to get his manager to implement "1 copy of each game limit" to stop this guy but it didn't work). I found a couple games that where in odd places but I scoured everywhere and they were the last.

Dude that is the gayest thing I have ever heard. One guys bought up all the games? multiple copies of everything? That is shaq-fuing sick

Yeah that is gay, i was one of the first few people in my BB and i only bought 4 games out a possible 20+ I had a couple hundred dollars in my wallet, i could have easily cleared them out... but who wants to ruin the sale for everyone. Still, first come first serve.

those selfish bastards make me sick. i only bought 1 copy of each and even left the one's i didn't want. i also let other customers in the store check out the list i printed out and even gave it away when i left best buy. :)

I've had problems with this store before in that either their entire staff is grossly uninformed, or they start all their sales significantly later than stores elsewhere. Feh on them.

I'm starting to think we should organize a CAG task force for cases like this... a group of us agree to buy large numbers of titles whenever a wacky deal like this takes place, and to them resell them at the face value to the rest of the CAG community. If we don't need all the titles we purchase, we can either return them or resell on eBay.

Yes and they ask the price too so if the manager changed it at the location close to your cc then you are screwd. Not to mention that the phone call is just a bs cover so they can say there isn't any in stock just so they don't take a big loss if the price match is too huge. My cc won't pm anything cause no one goes there and they can't afford to take a hit

Armed and Dangerous is $19.99 and has been out for a while. Breakdown is $19.99 as well but it came out much sooner than A & D. The second Hunter could go to $4.99. What else do you all think?

Nothing, as in, the prices weren't listed as being discounted or nothing, as in, none of the games were in stock?

I live in the area but didn't bother with any of the stores. The only place I thought of going was Lancaster because I've found some really rare games at their Meijer before. I'm too lazy to go these days, I guess.

Back when Best Buy clearenced out the Saturn games in 1998 for $9.50 Tuttle had the most games, then Brice, and Easton had the least. I scored about 20 games then. Lancaster and Polaris weren't open in 1998.

Hey ChrisXE, did you get a manager to answer your question, because I asked and they said that they would. All you had to do is print out the web page and show them the advertised price and they would price match it. I wouldn't take no for an answer unless it's coming from a manager. Even then, I would try another CC.

Nothing at the Southfield, Michigan location marked down. But that's a broken store so it's no surprise.

Called Bestbuy at Reston and they were all out of FF Origins. Sucks because there website said that they have it. Anyway, I have it on back order online but I doubt I will get it.

Went to my local Circuit City to pricematch. I was able to print off a couple of pages from the Best Buy webpage, but the majority of the games on clearance at BB aren't even listed. What a load of crap! Anyway, I was able to get Devil May Cry 2 and Metal Arms for 4.99 plus the pricematch plus guarantee which takes off an added buck something. So each game came out to about $3.79. Get yours while you can fellas. I was trying to look for a Gamecube Beyond Good and Evil, but CC didn't have it for Gamecube at the time. Damn!

Do they check if the games are in stock at Best Buy? I was thinking about PMing at Circuit City.

Stopped by the Pasadena, CA BB yesterday. All I found was one copy of Voodoo Vince.

I actually hit the Lancaster Best Buy today and picked up four games.
2 Copies of Guilty Gear X2 (ps2) The last two copies
Parappa The Rappa 2 (ps2) the last copy
King of Fighters 99 PSone (a few left)

they had a few of the other cheap games. One copy of Mega Man Network Transmisson (Gamecube), one copy of one of the Mega Man games for GBA for $4.99, the Disney Skateboarding game (one copy) for the PS2 or Gamecube (can't remember). They had a few copies of Oddworld for Xbox left and one copy of Aggressive Inline (xbox) left. This was all at around 1pm today, so there might be some of them all left. Just wanted to tell you what I knew about the Lancaster Ohio BB

Try to picture this awful scenario:
A CAG went to the BB in Los Feliz (SoCal), with a printout of $5 games, and asked the media associates if they had any of the games on the list. The fellow CAG handed the list over and the media associates said they would check. They made a copy of list and began to search the stockroom. They end up finding a lot of the items on that list, but they tell the customer they have none in the back. After the customer leaves they went through a full tote of games, searching for what they wanted. One of the associates left with 13 games, a mixture of (PS2, Xbox, & GBA). How's that for customer service! :x

You actually saw them leave with the games? Dude, that is screwed up. I've have ratted them out on their manager. At least send a letter to corporate!

Did Culver City BB have anymore Wakeboarding Unleashed?

05-25-2004, 09:13 PM
No I wasn't there at the time and if I was I would have ripped them a new one. One of the ASSociates was my cousin. :x I did have a few choice words with him regarding his actions. :twisted:

got up to my BB today as soon as i could after school(well, after track practice) and unfortunatly it had been pretty much cleaned out- i did pick up though the last copy of Mega Man Network Transmission (GC) and Mega Man Battle Network 3 blue version (GBA)

Thats all they had left worth buying. So is this deal gonna keep goin, like will they restock and keep the price or is it at while supplies last thing, then jack the prices back up?

My Best Buy had nothing except Wario Ware, which I yoinked the last copy of. Been wanting to pick up this game for a long time now!

If anyone could pick up a copy of either I-Ninja or Evil Dead (<3 Bruce; just finished watching Bubba Ho-Tep. XD), I'd be one happy gal.
Will pay cost plus shipping :) Any version will do, I have all three consoles. ^_^

The 4.99 is nationwide. Just depends obviosly if any of the games are in stock. I suggest get a price check to make sure cause Kill.Switch wasnt 4.99 when i checked it twice but hey others got it for that price so do it anyway.

Has anyone had any luck with pricematching on this? I don't see it happening due to the fact that it wasn't advertised and it's a clearance sale, but if anyone does get a PM, please do tell.

Almost got Mario Kart Double Dash for $10 ... cause thats what it was marked as on the shelf ... but the manager refused to sell it :cry:

Also the best buy closest to me started raising prices on some of the $5 games ... like Haven (ps2) which was $5 yesterday was marked up to $15.

Woodland Hills, CA, BB is OOS on most everything, and certainly anything of note on the $5 list. It was easy to figure out which games were on the list: just look for the white, empty sign cards.

Nothing on the list was in stock. To be fair I didn't look real hard at Xbox/ps2, but I didn't see anything as I scanned.

Problem is that not every best buy participates in the deal or are too lazy to update prices. I went to the one in Muncie, IN and checked out Twisted Metal Black and Beyond Good and Evil(GC) and neither one came up at $4.99

My local Best Buy had next to nothing in stock in the first place, so I was out of luck there. However, I'm considering taking a trip of about 45 minutes to see if I'll have better luck at another BB.
Has anyone's local BB NOT been completely raided yet?
