damn it, I just traded for some of those games :(

Nice deal though, gonna stop by one tommorow and see if i can find any other deals.

Damnit, they just closed down Big Lots here because of poor business. I wouldn't mind having a lot of those games.

I'd pay someone back for Tribes Vengeance and Icewind Dale 2 ...or more... Please message! :3

My local Big Lots closed a month or two ago. :cry:
I'll miss it. I found some good stuff (such as a CD with all the DS9 scripts on it) at that store, and it looks like they have even more PC games I want.

Cool. I never knew Big Lots could have such good deals.

I saw Civilization 3 for $6 at Dollar General the other day. I should have bought it but I hardly ever play pc games so I passed on it.


I'm usuallly in Big Lots once a week, last time I was there the best game they had was Commandos 3. Once again, I kinda wish I had bought that now....:roll: Maybe I should stop being a tight ass.

The one we went to yesterday had many of the same titles, they also had Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich and Ring II: Twilight of Gods (some adventure RPG mix).

Logain8955
02-05-2006, 03:45 AM
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich


Anyone who didn't get this at the Target clearance should definatly pick it up, it's one of the best tactical rpgs out there.

i saw max payne 2 at big lots for 3.99 as well. actually now i think it might have been 2.99.

Some notables I saw were: Tron 2.0, Pariah and Icewind Dale.

I got for myself: The Adventures of Mr. Men and Little Miss. I have some of those books.

Yeah my brother's father-in-law is a store manager at Big Lots, and they always have a bunch of older PC games for cheap.

What is a Big Lots?

It's basically a store that sells closeout type merchandise. You can usually find some pretty good deals in there, but sometimes you have to dig for them.

Basticle
02-09-2006, 05:14 PM
Hell yes I picked up NOLF2 (I already had it but it was the cheap "Clasics" edition without any manuals), Max Payne and Hiddena and Dangerous 2 for $3-6 each.

anonymouswhoami

I used to work at one. We had this problem when a customer sprayed the restroom with shit. The personal hygene of some employees didn't help either.

I scored Serious Sam Gold, Freedom Force VS. The 3rd Reich, and Tribes Vengeance; $15.xx after tax. Awesome. I think I'll check the other BL in town this weekend.....

CoolHungryWolf
02-11-2006, 02:47 AM
Mine had Icewind Dale 2, SS Gold. Tribes Venegance, and Tropico 2. I only got Icewind Dale 2 since I felt like playing an RPG, but I might go back to get the others.

Logain8955

There are two ways of running a retail store:

1. Make sure the store is pleasant to the customer. This means having helpful and polite employees who know where things in the store are, making sure the store smells pleasant, making sure things are not overstocked and making sure shelves are neatly organized so people can easily see what you have available for sale without having to dig through a pile of stuff.

2. Have cheap crap.


Big Lots chose #2.

I haven't set foot in the local Big Lots since they removed The Simpsons arcade game many, many years ago. My mom still goes in there once in a while, I believe. And yes, Big Lots smell awful. (Ours is pretty run-down and crappy...)

branvan
02-11-2006, 05:05 PM
Just got back from Big Lots and I got IceWind Dale 2, Tribes Vengeance, and Men of Valor. Would have got Serious Sam Gold but the box looked like someone poured lotion (i hope it was lotion) on it. Great finds.

roflmao
02-12-2006, 08:05 AM
Thanks for posting! I'll have to go see if my local Big Lots has Icewind Dale II. I lost one of the discs of my copy and have been hankering to play it again.

Big Lots is like Odd Job and Amazing Savings.... the one I went to in albany was alright... did score a sorta decent set of headphones for a dollar.

dark_inchworm
02-12-2006, 08:26 AM
The Big Lots I just visited in Lawrenceburg, TN doesn't seem to smell funny... well, anymore at least. Friday night was the first time I'd set foot in there in years.

Doesn't seem like their food is as cheap as it used to be :(

Anyway, I scored NOLF2, Lionheart, and Space Colony for $3.99 each, and then Hidden & Dangerous 2 and Tropico 2 for $5.99 each. They had XIII for $10 too, but as badly as the box was maimed it sure wasn't worth it.

Hopin' to check Columbia, TN soon...

$hady
02-12-2006, 10:21 AM
Got Silent Hill 4 the other day they had most of the games listed here and a couple more not worth mentioning.

Big Lots has many good deals to be found but they employee the lowest class retail employees that i've ever seen in my life. They make Dollar Store employees look good. EXCEPT for this one hot girl who works there and seems totally out of place.

02-12-2006, 12:31 PM
I wouldn't mind Tribes Vengeance or Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich, or even GC 2! I know FF #1 was GOOD!

I have a Big Lots near me that ive never been to before. Might check it out.

02-12-2006, 06:32 PM
I grabbed NOLF 2, a Garfield game, and Beyond Divinity. I saw but didn't buy a four pack (Deus Ex, Thief II, Commandos 2, Tomb Raider Chronicles) of games, Tribes Vengeance, Backyard Hockey, Tomb Raider Collection, a few war games (I forget the names), and some others not worth mentioning. I wanted Icewind Dale II, I might check another Big Lots in a couple of days.

WOW that 4 pack was $4? Thats one hell of a beefy pack, i'd have grabbed it for Commandos 2 alone. I'm still pissed about passing up 3 awhile back.

Yeah, I already had the games otherwise I'd have picked it up as well. Deus Ex and Thief make the pack for me. Never played Commandos 2 and Tomb Raider gets old quick.

Oh and I almost forgot, I also saw Space Colony, Ground Control II, and Serious Sam Gold as well.

02-13-2006, 11:44 AM
Damn all they had was GC2, Space Colony, and NOLF2 I may go back and pickup NOLF2 they seemed to have a BUNCH of them. (Topeka Big Lots) that is.

02-13-2006, 02:07 PM
I went to my local Big Lots - seemed like they were cleaned out. But I did snag some older anime DVDs, like Arjuna vol 1, BigO vol 1, and .hack Twilight vol 1 and 2.

CoolHungryWolf
02-13-2006, 03:35 PM

I think mine does. If you want, I could try to pick one up for cost+shipping.

Capt Dirty Jack
02-13-2006, 05:42 PM
My local Big Lots had Beyond Divinity for 4 bucks, Ground Control 2 for the same price, and I think Serious Sam Gold was 8.

Picked up GC2 and Baldur's Gate (box was surprisingly not squished.)

I went back last night and EVERYTHING was gone except for NOLF2 and some astraunaut history crap and encyclopedias.

02-14-2006, 03:36 PM
Picked up the last copy of Beyond Divinity at the Cincinnati Tri-County location for $3.99. Passed on Lionheart, Silent Hill 4 and Master of Orion III. Nothing else of note.

Logain8955
02-14-2006, 03:41 PM
Oh, sweet Beyond Divinity's cheap now? That game looked cool and I've been jonesing for some Diablo2 style murder. Looks like I'm taking me a drive to big lots

Man, if anyone could hook me up with Icewind Dale, I'd totally reimburse (or trade you my other Big Lots scores)

02-14-2006, 07:19 PM
thanx for the post OP, i picked Icewind Dale II yesterday.

i also saw The Hobbit and KISS: Psycho Circus there for $4, but i took a pass on that

02-15-2006, 02:56 PM
Found Beyond Divinity the sequel to Divine Divinity for $3.99. Also had Serious Sam, NOLF2, Edios 4 Pack, and The Suffering (marked as $5.99).

No Freedom Force or Silent Hill 4, sadly

02-15-2006, 06:16 PM
Slim pickings at the Lakewood, CA location. I was hoping to find Serious Sam and Silent Hill, but no luck. I did snag NOLF 2 and Ground Control 2 though. Interestingly, they had two versions of NOLF 2, a older 'Greatest Hits' -style box and the newer repackaged release in the small form-factor box. Of course I bought the latter.

Mr_Vanderbilt
02-15-2006, 08:20 PM
Thanks for the heads up! Picked up:


NOLF 2 5.99
Max Payne 2 (in slip case) 5.99
Tropico 2 5.99
Serious Sam Gold 5.99


no Beyond Divinity! If anyone cares to pick one up, I'll pay the price you paid + shipping + a little lovin'! I'll send 1st of course.

They're typically located near the rest of the electronics and dvds. More than likely that section will be a festering pile of disorder, but dig around and you should find some stuff.

Meh, I just went to our Big Lots and they didn't have crap, which is what I expected. They don't keep up on their games. I hate going in that place, too. It gives me the creepiest vibe. Plus there's a lady with a 'stache that works there, and that's just not cool.

Roufuss
02-16-2006, 07:07 PM
Only went to two Big Lots, and on my second trip, I found Beyond Divinity for $3.99... only copy, was shoved way in the back, I almost missed it.

Thanks OP!

Went to Big Lots today and Bought the 4 Pack (Deus Ex, Thief 2, etc) and another Icewind Dale 2 if anyone wants to trade. I also saw some other games like a Garfield Game, Ring 2, Beyond Divinity, and Martyr. Are any of those any good?

Beyond Divinity is a decent hack and slash (in the same vein as Icewind Dale 2, only you've got two people instead of six).

If Martyr is really Mortyr then its basically a FPS where you shoot Nazis. If you like FPS games it might be worth the few bucks

From Concord, CA, picked up NOLF2, Silent Hill 4, and Beyond Divinity for $3.99 as posted. Thanks OP!

Wish I could have found Max Payne 2 or FF v. TR. Oh well.

I picked up an extra NOLF2; PM me if anyone wants to trade. Anyone know if there is a difference between the original packaging and the "Best Seller" version? I picked up one of each.

Razorguts
02-22-2006, 02:14 PM
Bought the Action Pack solely for Deus Ex:GOTY, because the original GOTY edition came with the soundtrack disc. This version does NOT.

They also had "Scrapland" and "The Thing" for $3.99...

beyond divinity sounds great. At gamespot, they both got good scores. plus, i think i'll get it since they said it looks better than diablo 2. Question, though. Gamespot said Divine Divinity comes with Beyond Divinity (the sequel). Is that true at big lots, too?

mombbsmj
02-22-2006, 03:32 PM
There was a limited print run that included Divine Divinity with Beyond Divinity, I doubt the Big Lots version has it. Both are good games though.

Good question, prolly another American store that Canada will never have....I am sick of this high prices Bu;;shit in Canada, damn I regret living here sometimes.

lol and if my wife is lucky she'll get into queens and ill move to CA with her... hmm.. i better stock up on some good games!

big lots near me is kind of a ghetto store. looks like crap, and only carries crap.

I'm still looking for Max Payne 2 and FF v TR, so PM if anyone wants to trade! Besides the 4 play pack, I also still have NOLF2, and Beyond Divinity up for trade.

If you have a local store called Deals in the neighborhood, it looks like they have the same supplier!

i just picked up No One Lives Forever 2 and Icewind Dale 2 for a buck a piece (while its a diff store, i think its the same supplier, so i didnt think it warranted a new thread. if anyone wants to add "Deals" to the topic, goferit)

Basticle
03-01-2006, 08:15 PM
The last time I was in deals all they had were the interplay double packs like Descent Freespace (yay!) and 90 copies of one of the Winning Eleven games (wtf)

Jiro
03-13-2006, 04:22 PM
I went to five Big Lots stores in the Atlanta area on March 4 and found quite a few games for $4: Tron 2.0, Silent Hill 4, Beyond Divinity, The Hobbit, No One Lives Forever 2, and Tomb Raider Chronicles/Last Revelation double pack. There was also a Silent Hill 2 I bought without noticing it had been opened, and it turned out to have a disk missing. Several of these games only existed in single copies, though, and often at only one of the stores.

Snake2715
03-14-2006, 09:02 AM
Where is everyone finding these games location wise. I had always seen the PC games up front by the service desk. But I decided to stop in last night and found only a handful of printing utilities there...

maybe it was cleaned out.

Basticle
03-29-2006, 02:49 PM
I just stopped by the 2 near me and one had nothing but the other had Ground Control 2, Unreal 2, Duke Nukem Manhattan Project, Bet on Soldier, Terminator 3: War of the Machines, several strategy games that didnt look all that great and something else I cant remember.
