Tampa Bay Area CAGs...

[AngellicLulu]

Eh, I could try to make it but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

[donniedroc]

Anyone stop by any of the local Circuit City stores yet to see what they are doing so far? Reading the CC thread it sounds like different stores have different discounts. I wouldn't mind scoring some 360 points and Rb2 drums if I can find them.

I live near the Gunn Highway/Citrus Park location. Yesterday, all games and accessories were 10% off. Still had most big ticket games (cause 10% ain't much). Only had 800 Point XBL cards for $10, but LOTS of Wii point cards.

Going to pop in every day or so to check and see if they dropped prices. Keep everyone posted.

I am in Houston for work, and popped into a local Circuit City. All games over $50 were still 10%, $50 and lower were 20%, and game accessories are 30%. I used the 30% off to get XBL Points and Wii Points. I will have to check tomorrow when I am back in TPA to see if this discount is in Citrus Park.

[Kevinheidari]

Man there's no point in going to CC anywhere in Tampa.. I check the Citrus Park one and the one on Dale Mabry near 275.. 10-30 percent off already marked up prices.. I saw a logitech g15 keyboard for 10 percent off the price of a mere $112.99!! No wonder they're going out of business.

[rumarudrathas]

Stopped by the Target at the corner of Bruce B Downs and Fletcher, and I saw End War for the ps3 for roughly $42 (not the BT bundle, of course) and both Too Human and Fracture for the 360 around $28 at clearance.

Just a heads up.

[vinster29]

Hey guys,

I am looking for an 80GB PS3 and I was wondering if anyone has had a PS3 sighting at any of the local Tampa Bay Area Circuit City's. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

[brennok]

Speaking of CC, has anyone seen any 1600+ MS points? Last time I checked Citrus and New Tampa had none.

[brennok]

Anyone know a good electronic repair store in the USF/New Tampa area? I was upgrading my mother's Tivo for her and I think one of the cables came loose during transport causing an inductor to burn up. From everything I have read it is a simple fix with a quick solder but I have never soldered in my life nor do I have the steady hands I probably need to apply the fix.

[Otherguy676]

Hey everyone, to make everyone aware, Tampa Comic Con is coming up, its in a new location this year. If you like comics, this is a great convention, pretty good comic deals and definitely worth the $5 entrance fee. I have been going since it started 8 years ago and I hope to see some other CAGs there.

http://www.comicbookconventions.com/tampaconvention/

[Frosty The Batman]

What are the odds anyone hear has heard of Peelander-Z?
They'll be in Ybor City on April 26th. I saw them twice in Boston last year. They're awesome. I'll be there and hope maybe someone from CAG.

[Vulcan2422]

Thought I'd bump this up for us Bay area CAG's. Would anybody be interested in a meet/BBQ at say a certain CAG's house? ( I have a weekend BBQ almost every weekend with a few car buddies I met online)

[Otherguy676]

Happy 3rd B-day Tampa CAG thread!

[rodieremix]

Just discovered this thread, thought I'd say "whatup?" from Seminole.

[leadfootedfool]

wOOt, here's to 3 years!

6 moves and 3 states later, feels like a lot longer than 3 years, but here's to you Tampa cags, stealin the good deals for when I visit home.

[soccerboy09]

I see this thread has died down but just a heads up the best buy on dale mabry an 275 is having a spring sale clearing alot of their stuff out. They have alot of games marked 50 percent off an lots of copies of rock revolution for 10 which makes for a good flip at blockbuster who give u 20.

[soccerboy09]

Notables which I also picked up are saints row collectors for 25. Dark sector for 7. Wrestlemania for 15. Mercs 2 for 15 an alot of other good pickups i've jus been up to date so had all the other good games

[lolwaut]

im looking for some Tampa CAGs to play on PSN with every once in awhile.... PSN ID: SilentPhish ... im up by USF. peace

[donniedroc]

Has anyone ever had much luck with clearance items @ Citrus Park Sears? I just tried around 10 different games, and all of them came up at the MSRP price. When I think back, I don't know if I have ever gotten a game to pop up @ clearance price over there.

Anybody have better luck than I have?

Me & Sonic have had plenty of luck. If you're looking in the bin of games in the very back by the tv's, the only ones that will be clearance priced are the ones ending in .97 .

[Segasonic01]

No we havent had any luck. That Sears never has any clearance games. Stay far away from Citrus Park, it sucks.

[soccerboy09]

if anybody wants target on dale an bears has about 5 copies of mirrors edge for 10

[donniedroc]

Kmart on Busch and I-75 has 5 or 6 :360: Stranglehold for $5.

[Otherguy676]

Its that time so I need to hype it again

Tampa Con, July 12th

http://www.comicbookconventions.com/tampaconvention/index.htm

Def worth the $5 and if anyone is a X-Men fan then its a must go as (and I don't know how a small show like this did it) Chris Claremont will be there! For those who don't know who he is, he basically is responsible for everything X-Men related from the mid 70s to the early 90s. Wolverine's origins, creator of Shadowcat, Sinister, Pheonix, Alpha Flight, Excalibur, Inner Circle etc. If you ever watched the early 90s X-Men cartoon, then your familar with his writing as just about every story was adapted from his work. I've met him once and he definitely likes to talk to the fans about his ideas and how he thought of storylines, characters, etc.

Perfect opportunity for anyone who hasn't been to go to the Con.

[aznguyen316]

wassup peeps!

[steveinneed]

I'm all for this. I'm in St. Pete but work in Bradenton, so I can contribute Bradenton/Sarasota info as well.


Hah, I go to college in St. Pete. and live in Bradenton :). For bradenton, there probably won't be much to contribute, lol.

[soccerboy09]

blockbuster on bears and florida got the POG packs. highlight include God of War 2 for $3 and GTA 4, timeshift, mass effect, turok, and bioshock for $7. about 100 ps2 games 50 xbox which go for 2 and 50 360 which go for 7. dont matter what game all the same price.

[Segasonic01]

^ Me & Berzerker jus left there. I snagged Battlefront 2, Jedi Outcast & Conker for Xbox as well as FMA for PS2

[rodieremix]

What is POG? Also are these new or used? Good prices either way, just curious.

[soccerboy09]

POG=Pre owned game.(basically what they use to rent but now have no use for so they ship them to stores to make any profit possible) they are used and come in a generic clear case. To tell u the truth i was extremely suprised by the condition. I bought about 4 for my self and about 5 to flip and all were in near perfect condition if not perfect. Definately worth it if you not a collector and jus want good games.

[rodieremix]

cool, thanks!

[donniedroc]

Hey Tampa gamers...just wanted to let you all know that the Value Pawn on Waters Ave (8120 W Waters Ave, Tampa, FL) has :360: Guitar Hero World Tour for $7.99...I probably should have picked it up (was in there selling an old car stereo), and probably won't make it back. Good luck to whomever snags it!

[soccerboy09]

Thanks donnie. Picked it up along with final fantasy 12 collectors for 5. Idk who those their pricing but it's outrageous. Crappy old games for like 40 and a killzone 2 sitting their for 25 someone should go pick it up. I have it so passed on it

[soccerboy09]

Oh yea also picked up season 1,3,5,7 & 8 of DBZ an 1&2 of gt for 11 each

[aznguyen316]

kizzy2 for $25 ain't bad!

[Segasonic01]

That pawn used to have great prices until he realized one of the flea market dealers was buying all his good stuff & reselling it (i.e. MvC2 for PS2 was bought for $20, re-sold for $100)

[machtdh]

yo wassup peeps, haven't been on this forum for a while.

[donniedroc]

So, picked up a :360: Shadowrun at Westshore Sears for $1.97. Left another copy there. They also had the :ps3: bundle of Guitar Hero Aerosmith for $7.97. I'm not a PS3 guy, so I left it.

That said, if anyone sees the :360: Guitar Hero Aerosmith at a Sears (Westshore & Citrus Park don't have them), please let me know!

[soccerboy09]

Didnt see them at University Only saw world tour bundles and PS2 Guitar hero 3's for $15 (clearance sign I didnt scan). I had seen a copy of shadowrun but went back the next day and it was gone. Didnt know it $2. scanned like 10 games except for that one. They did have Eye of judgement bundle for 30. I picked it up for the camera but the game is actually good.

Both Citrus Park and Westshore had the eye of judgment for $30, if anyone else is looking for it.

[soccerboy09]

Next time Im their ill ask them to chech the back. Have you tried this at citrus or westshore. They moved alot of their older guitar hero stuff to storage when all the world tour bundles came out.

[Bezerker]

Ive got an extra GH:A for 360 Donnie. I'm not gonna be in the area tomorrow, but send me a pm and im sure we can work something out.

[donniedroc]

Anyone know where I can take used PC games for store credit? I really don't want to wait to be 'matched' on Goozex, but just want them off my shelf. Just got off the phone with Play N Trade and they aren't taking them yet. Gamestop stopped some time ago.

[acaraba2]

Did anyone have any luck finding MK vs. DC for 14.98 at any targets in the area?

[Segasonic01]

no

[Kinematics]

I found a MK vs DC that was marked at 41$ but scanned for 15$. It was the only one left.

Did anyone ever find Left 4 Dead around here? I couldn't find any.

[acaraba2]

I found 3 L4D at suncoast parkway in pasco county i bought 2 and left 1 still there.

[Kinematics]

You interested in trading one of those?

[soccerboy09]

I hate that our targets are always behing in dropping the games to the sweet 14.98 price. I swear Afro, prince, wheelman, and rock band all sat at 30 for a month maybe longer. Hoping to get L4D but probably wont even though I check the three targets once a week.

[darthmalice777]

I feel ya soccer. I thought I was crazy for thinking it always seems the local targets have the $14.xx clearance games last (if at all). I did happen to get a copy of Afro at this price, but the other games that interest me never seem to make it below $20, if they aren't gone by then. I only check two local targets (Bloomingdale Ave and Brandon mall), but I usually have the wife or myself check once a week and never seem to see the fucking games make it to the low price! I guess thats the price of being a CAG in the area.

[domi19]

does anyone knows where in Tampa or Wesley Chapel area can find the cheapest place to get 20 gb HDD for the 360

[Bezerker]

Just a heads up for those that are interested. The Best Buy in Oldsmar is running the yellow tag B1G1 sale. The promotion is:

Buy 1 $19.99 or greater game and get a $19.99 or less game for free

Buy 1 $14.99 or less game and get another $14.99 or less game for $4.99

[darthmalice777]

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna check the one on SR 60 to see if they've got anything worth noting on clearance. Kmart in Brandon has the intercoolers for 360 for $5 and a Logitech headset for PS3 at $32. Not sure how much of a deal that is, as I dont have a PS3. No more GH bundles at that Kmart though.

[machtdh]

has anybody tried to find the RB2 drum sets at walmart? I can't find one, and really need it. If anybody spots one, please get it for me, I'll give you an extra $10 for your effort. Thanks in advance

[donniedroc]

What system?

[machtdh]

I need them for the 360

[colk]

I saw a set at super walmart on causeway blvd in brandon Im thinking of picking some up myself but I dont have $90+ right now:hot:

[machtdh]

no man, I mean the drums on clearance for $35. I don't want to pay $90 for these things.

[darthmalice777]

Haven't seen any RB drums on clearance, but at the Target on Bloomingdale I saw 1 copy of Riddick for $14.xx and 2 copies of HAWX for $14.xx. I have no interest in either, and since there was only 1 copy of one, and two of the other, I decided not to flip them. GL fellow TB CAgs.

Bummer. I want both of those for that price, and would have met up with you to exchange cash for games. Oh, the horror! :cry:

[colk]

riddick is gone from the target at bloomingdale (Xbox 360

[darthmalice777]

The HollyWood Videos in the area that have Saints Row 2 have dropped the price to $24.99, so they qualify for the $4.99 sale. Picked up two copies at HWV in Riverview, there were still 3 left.

I work in Brandon. Where is this store in Riverview?

[darthmalice777]

The $4.99 sale is all used games at HWV priced $29.99 or less are on sale for $4.99.

The Riverview store is located on the corner of Boyette Rd and McMullen Rd.

Thanks a lot, went and picked up SR2 complete in original box and mint instructions. They have two left in the HWV boxes if anyone is stil linterested.

[darthmalice777]

The HWV on the corner of Bloomingdale and Providence had Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 and NHL 09 for $24.99, so they both qualified for the sale now too. There were quite a few copies of Both Saints Row 2 and Smackdown vs Raw 2009 for both PS3 and 360.

[MrErinEsurance]

7-ELEVEN (#32733)2401 JAMES REDMAN PKWY, PLANT CITY, FL 33566 had copies of Call of Duty World At War(360/PS3), Gears of War 2 and Fallout 3(360/PS3) for $36.99.

I'm not sure if this is a universal clearout/sale for all 7-11s or ones that still have stock left, I've yet to check any other area 7-11s to see if they've had similar price drops.

[MEKanical]

The SuperTarget on Bruce B. Downs has 3 copies left of FEAR 2 for 12.48 when I left at 3:25pm....

[donniedroc]

I'm not sure if this is a universal clearout/sale for all 7-11s or ones that still have stock left, I've yet to check any other area 7-11s to see if they've had similar price drops.

I created a specific thread on this, as the 7-Eleven @ Sheldon and Linebaugh had these games as well, and saw them at one other location. IMO, the only bargin is Fallout 3 (GOW2 retails for $39.99).

Thanks for validating that this a little more widespread than my local one.

[wrencrest]

The SuperTarget on Bruce B. Downs has 3 copies left of FEAR 2 for 12.48 when I left at 3:25pm....

I went last night and they did not have any FEAR 2 left. I bought the last Dead Space for PS3 at 20.98. I did not see any deals on 360 games, but several other PS3 games were marked down. However nothing great.

RB6V was 20.98 I think, Riddick was 27 and Bionic Commando marked at 41. None real good deals. There were others, but I cant remember them as they werent any better.

[Bezerker]

If anyone's looking for Madworld, the Target on Hills/Montague has it for $14.98. It has an original price of $29.98, so it should be going down to $7.48 at some point.

[darthmalice777]

The Target on Bloomingdale has GH:WT bundles (game & wireless guitar) for $22.xx for PS3 and $15ish for PS2. There were prob 3-5 of each system, but no 360 dammit! Just thought I'd let you guys know if you wanted to get a deal/flip fodder. Happy hunting!

[wrencrest]

Best Buy on 60 in Brandon restocked many penny guides if anyone here is interested. I saw SF4, Killzone, Bionic Commando, and Dead Space. Maybe more

[darthmalice777]

Are they marked in any way?I mean versus the non-pennied guides? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question, but I can never seem to find jack shit at that store when it comes to sales/clearances.

[Bezerker]

They wont be marked a penny, technically they're not even supposed to be out on the floor. Brandon & Clearwater stores are always great for the penny guides. I've yet to go to the Clearwater one, but I know they re-stocked penny guides during the last drop.

I need to go on another Lakeland & Lake Wales trip. The last time I went to Lake Wales, I hit a goldmine when it came to Sears & TRU clearances. Now that people are back in school, I really need to just take a day off of work so its a lot less hassle than going on the weekend.

[super_dawn]

...hey so today I found out (they found out today as well) that the Hollywood Video on Hillsborough will be closing down. HOWEVER...from what I've heard they will not be having a liquidation sale but instead will be transferring merchandise to other stores/back to corporate...they are set to completely close on Sept. 20th.

Just wanted to make you guys aware just in case they decide to do any last minute deals...it just seems like a lot of games/movies to transfer out. But I don't know if they'll have any deals going on.

[Segasonic01]

Damn so thats only 2 HWVs left in Tampa

[Bezerker]

I'm pretty agnostic, but stuff like this does make me believe that there is some absolute deity out there. I think im gonna find out what time Katherine gets off on the last day and blast Queen's "Another one bites the dust" in the parking lot.

[super_dawn]

Damn so thats only 2 HWVs left in Tampa

possibly one....I just got a call about an hour ago. Our store (56th st) is closed too. Totally different reasons...I guess somebody hasn't been paying the rent. :bomb: .....

I'm pretty agnostic, but stuff like this does make me believe that there is some absolute deity out there. I think im gonna find out what time Katherine gets off on the last day and blast Queen's "Another one bites the dust" in the parking lot.

LOL! nice. She actually didn't seem too upset about them closing so I guess she has some plans.

[ashe_Darkthorne]

Count me in...WOuld love to just know more gamers in Tampa Bay I have lived here two years and well the only people i play with are my wife and son as for gaming well yeah...lol

[Staraang21]

hey all, i'm coming down to tampa to visit my parents this weekend and I needed to get some discs resurfaced. I live in the New Tampa area off Bruce B. Downs. Anyone know a good, cheap place that would be near me? The town I live in right now sucks for resurfacing. I found only one place here and they charge $3.75/disc which is ridiculous. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's usually a $1 per disc to refurbish at Hollywood Video...but with the recent "closings" .. I think the only ones open are Citrus Park and Riverview. If my store on 56th gets it act together and reopens in the next day or two we can do it there.

[Staraang21]

Do you guys use one of those big fancy expensive machines to do it?

[super_dawn]

Do you guys use one of those big fancy expensive machines to do it?

sorry for the late response....but yea the machine we use is about $600 retail.

[Flyers179]

super_dawn you work at that store. wouldnt happen to be black would you? if so I apologize for being a smart ass to you when i went in there during the beginning of that last VG sale you guys had.

I came back to exchange games only to be told that all sales were final. I wasnt to happy about it and made a bunch of sarcastic comments only to come back two days later and buy more when you were working.

In my defense you probably ended up getting some of the good stock that I coveted so much, and I was in a bad mood from driving around all day. If you arent that guy though go fuck yourself : )

Why does everyone think I'm a guy?! LOL I'm a girl! ...and white, pale white actually. ;) ....ahh you spoke with Lorenzo. He's worked for HWV as long as I have and we've been great work friends. He must of been having a bad day if you were following our policies. We can only exchange for the same title (if we have it) or we can try to buff the game. If that does not work then we can exchange for a different title game, same price. It all depends on the circumstances.

Funny I figured you were a girl from your name and avatar but thought maybe I was wrong ha ha.

[Bezerker]

So Dawn, how are things going with the store? I heard from another store that everything should be getting renegotiated as far as the rent was concerned.

[super_dawn]

So Dawn, how are things going with the store? I heard from another store that everything should be getting renegotiated as far as the rent was concerned.

Yup rent was now taken care of...I work tomorrow night. Nice to finally have a shift. But I heard a couple days ago Citrus Park is now closing and one of the stores in Riverview. ....I'm thinking the reason we're still open is because this particular store was always considered the "training" store and has ample storage space. ...its certainly not because we get a lot of business.

[Segasonic01]

No not the cp store! :(

[darthmalice777]

Any idea which Riverview one? Got two kinda close, not sure which is which as far as cities for these 2 stores go. Any idea if they'll be liquidating some games/movies that other stores won't need?

[super_dawn]

I totally forgot to ask which one it was when I worked ...No liquidation process though! All the stores closing in the area are boxing stuff up and sending back to corporate! No sales as far as I know. The mgr from citrus park is coming to our store after they're done boxing everything up.

[darthmalice777]

Well dammit! Losing a store close to home and no sales! At least there's still 2 others within 10 min or so. If you do hear anything else dawn, please let me know. Thanks as always for the inside HWV scoop.

[supermonkeyballer]

I need to get some systems repaired, anyone know of a legit one?

[super_dawn]

Um...still not sure which Riverview store is closing, it might even be 2 of them out of the 3...was talking to another employee earlier today. Also heard they are closing the Port Richey store now too. All of us employees are on the edge right now because 1. we don't know *when* we will be closing (we all expect it) 2. we lose our jobs before then because our new mgr seems to want to kick us out and bring his ppl from the citrus park store over. eeerrrrg...sorry, tiny vent here.

[Bezerker]

Yea, i'm hoping the store credit I had at Citrus Park isnt gone for good. I also have credit at Port Richey and one of the Riverview stores...

[elmyra]

Apparently the Tyrone Hollywood Video in St. Pete closed this week. The 9th Street store seems to be staying open, though I'm not sure about Largo or Dunedin.

[rodieremix]

Did you see it for yourself? I went by there last week and it was open with no signage about closing. Also, I'm not sure where in Largo there is/was a Hollywood Video but I'm thinking it's long gone.

[elmyra]

I just went to the 9th Street location last night (Wednesday), and one of the guys from Tyrone was working there. He said Tyrone got shut down in a hurry and that Tuesday was the last day they were open.

The Largo store is at East Bay Drive and Belcher.

I just called the Tyrone store phone number, and there was no answer. I also called Largo, and the woman who answered said that Tyrone was shut down with 1 day notice - they got the word the day before. She said that as far as anyone knows, Largo will remain open, since they just got a huge merchandise shipment.

That's crazy that they only gave one-day notice. I guess it's more than what Bennigan's gave. Thanks for the info.

*stomach churning* uggh...one day notice. I was hoping for more than that. I keep telling the ppl I work with to start looking for new jobs now. don't wait.

Hey guys, in case anyone cares, Best Buy in Brandon price matched the B2G1 sale Toysrus is having. They also are giving away free Fallout 3 guides with purchase of another guide or the game. Thats for the regular edition. For CE, i think it said it was half off.

[frostybroc]

Anyone looking for a partner to do the B2G1 @ TRU give me a holler. Looking to get Demon Souls, Uncharted 2, or Fallout 3 GOTY

[Bezerker]

Not sure if the employees are going to grab all of these now that they know they're a penny, but the Best Buy on Hillsborough has the following penny guides left:

Fossil Fighters
Gears of War 2
Ghostbusters
Indiana Jones
Little Big Planet
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Spore Galactic Adventures
Wolfenstein

Most have 2+ copies left. The store gave me BS about limit 1 per game title. I just said "okay" since im going to Orlando from Tues-Thurs so i plan on hitting just about every Best Buy on the way and the 4 in Orlando.

The BB in Brandon had most of these new drops, but I could not find any Fallout 3 CE or Infamous. Since I don't have a PS3 yet, Infamous isn't all that big of a deal for me, but if you happen to find an extra Fallout CE Bezerker, I'd meet up and give you some $$ for your troubles. Just let me know.

At Citrus Park BB, there were only a couple of guides that had more than 1 copy of (which I would have picked up).

When I left there this afternoon, they still had:
MK vs DC
Street Fighter IV
EA Active
Indiana Jones
Gears of War 2 (tons of them).
Fallout 3 (softcover, not GOTY)

No luck so far, though the two stores ive been to have had a combined 300+ Fallout 3 regular editions (i could only imagine trying to carry all of those, let alone get through the checkout process)

I'm getting ready to hit up one more store for the night, i'll let you know if I have any luck.

Looks like the Blockbuster on Waters & Hanley is closing shop. Anyone see any other stores closing?

[brennok]

The Blockbuster in Tampa Palms is also closing.

[silentevil]

Not sure if any other Play N Trade in the Tampa Bay area are doing this but the one Clark rd in Sarasota is having buy one get one free on used games on Halloween. You have to be wearing a costume though. The advertisement didn't have any price restrictions.

Heard from someone I work with that they're only at 10% off right now...haven't had a chance to go by there. Maybe tomorrow.

[rodieremix]

A friend of mine told me the Blockbuster on 66th in St. Pete is closing.

[super_dawn]

Went to Tampa Palms Blockbuster last night... still 10% off used games , very picked over though. 30% off accessories.... pretty much all movies were 8.99 or less. I did pick up a nice framed Dark Knight picture for only 8.99....it was marked 14.99, so might want to double check on prices because they may ring up differently.

[Bezerker]

If Tampa Palms is getting Bruce B Downs shipments of used games, they should be tons of $9.99 and under games still marked $30+, so they'll probably be sitting there for a few more drops.

Nice to know. I'll probably head over a couple times throughout the week since I do my grocery shopping right next door.

[brennok]

So is anyone planning on trying to score a 360 at Walmart? I keep debating just for another Extender, plus I am starting to have issues with my 360 playing DVD movies.

[frostybroc]

Anyone see that Play and Trade is doing a Buy 2 used Get 2 Free

Hi fellow CAGs in the Tampa Bay area, I was wondering if anybody here has an Xbox 360 Memory Unit (512MB preferable) to let me borrow. I promise I will return it just like you give it to me, and I will pick it up and drop it off at your place of preference, I just don't want to spill $30 for a new when I only need it to transfer everything from my 20GB to my new 250GB HDD. I thank you guys in advance. Peace
