Target Clearance Thread VI

[Number83]

I got BIA:EIB last week from Target for $5 also, but when I installed it I realized it has Starforce just like X3. You may want to be careful about actually installing them.

Good Point! I knew that they had Starforce (See my Sig), so I didn't purchase them. Glad that you reminded me to spread the word.

Thanks!

[NamPaehc]

I bought the Taiko Drum game for like $4 total but I didn't see the drum set. It was opened and had a piece of clear tape on it. The lady asked me if I was sure if I wanted it because it clearly had been opened, but if I found it was messed up they wouldn't take it back. Told her it was only $4 and took it, but it turned out to be prefect inside.

I went back a week later and the drums were there so I grabbed them too for $9.99.

[Number83]

How do you guys do it? :bomb:

I have been to my target many times. But they have all the ps2,xbox, and GC games behind the glass with the always same prices. I never see a "Sale" or "Clearence" tag on them. So how do you guys get these deals from target. How do you find out the clearence price of those games.

I have been to target many times but never bought a single game because of their price. I never see anything onsale or clearence either :cry:

They're usually on endcaps, mixed in with other clearance items. For example, in Exton, they were on the endcaps in the Book Department. There is also a clearance rack in Electronics. Look for the red tags!

[super_nerd]

Ask for a price check noob! The price tag doesn't mean the game is at that price.

[csidegamer]

I went to buy the two Donkey Kongas with Bongos I saw over the weekend but they were both gone today.:( I asked to have Pokemon Leaf Green GBA scanned but the employee was very rude gave me a hard time about the price already being on the game when I told her I heard the game was on sale she went to the register and checked a list they had under the desk and said that was not the one on sale she refused to open the glass case for me. First time that has ever happened to me.

Just tell her you want to buy it. Then if it rings up high, you change your mind.
They wouldn't refuse a sale would they?

[NamPaehc]

Yep, I look for red tags or put a bunch in a basket and go to one of their price check machines and look for good deals.

[tickdude]

Finally...Target # 1 in Roseville MN finally put Fantastic Four GC for $4.98. Wasn't it $4.98 like 2 weeks ago in other parts of the U.S.?

[Arkay Firestar]

If you find Syberia II and like adventure games, get it. It does not have starforce, at least not the jewel case version published by XS. I don't think any versions since the Adventure Company published versions have had starforce, and possibly none of the US versions, according to my extensive research.

Too bad after installing the game I found it dry, uneventful, and boring, but this kind of adventure game is like a really long book...it takes a while before it gets started.

[fatbollet]

picked up DDR Extreme bundle for $14.98.

[Rozz]

You thought right, which is why I still paid the $4.98 for X3: Reunion. :D

Why couldent someone have told this before? I passed up Freedom Force vs the Second Force for $3.48 because of this, and I really wanted to play it :cry:

[Rihan]

picked up DDR Extreme bundle for $14.98.

Extreme, or Extreme 2?

[roguejedi5]

picked up DDR Extreme bundle for $14.98.

That would explain why all those bundles suddenly disappear this week at my store.:cry:

[CGH]

Is Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix included in this sale? How about Donkey Konga 2? My Target had all these games in stock when I went last weekend today they were all gone.

Just tell her you want to buy it. Then if it rings up high, you change your mind.
They wouldn't refuse a sale would they?

Thank you for the advice I will do that if it happens again.:)

[fatbollet]

Extreme, or Extreme 2?


The first DDR extreme - green box.

[Billservo]

The first DDR extreme - green box.

I suppose you didn't see anymore that you could ship out to other CAGs...

[MisterNewGuy]

i would like the one in the green box.

[Doom5]

Picked up Megaman Anniversary for GC yesterday for $4.98 :) Thanks guys.

[shiningslade]

I got :gba:Mario Party Advance for $7.48 & :ps2:Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for $4.98 last night.

[Rozz]

Is Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix included in this sale? How about Donkey Konga 2? My Target had all these games in stock when I went last weekend today they were all gone.



Thank you for the advice I will do that if it happens again.:)

You should have bought Mario Mix, it's worth quite a bit and is a toughie to find.

[Masterkyo]

Lucky I scored last copy Zelda: Minish Cap (GBA) $8. Also, Pickup Champion of Narrah: Return to Arms for Trade (Yeap, Champion of Norrah 2 is start getting RARE). I did seen few copies Tales of Phantasia left. (Great Land Target in Independence of Missouri).

[CGH]

You should have bought Mario Mix, it's worth quite a bit and is a toughie to find.

They had three or four DDRMM they were all gone as were all the Donkey Konga 1 and 2 with bongos if only I had known. Today I went to the Target where I found Tales of Phantasia the store had been cleaned out this time.

[Masterkyo]

I wonder Mario Mix is worth $40 plus taxes or should i wait for CC clearance out for ................. ????

[KrayzieKMF]

I wonder Mario Mix is worth $40 plus taxes or should i wait for CC clearance out for ................. ????
i'd buy it before you can't find it

[nwaugh]

i would like the one in the green box.
I would like 10 million dollars and a Nintendo World Championship gold cart.

[sterlingice]

Aw man. I've never seen a copy of Minish Cap but I never checked Independence :(

SI

[GoAztecs]

I picked up a copy of Doom 3 for 4.98 and an Atari Compilation for 2.98. I am not a big into PC Gaming but for 8 bucks after taxes its worth a shot.

[JJSP]

I'm not sure if it's a clearance or Platinum Hits, but Doom 3: CE for Xbox is $19.99, and the silver 360 faceplates are $4.74 at my Target. Obviously, YMMV.

[onikage]

I found copies of Mario Tennis: PT and Mario Party Advance at one of the Raleigh, NC stores, but haven't been able to find a $7.48 WarioWare. If anyone has an extra I would trade one of the 2 GBA games for it.

[PotatoSan]

Why did this thread get destickied, and yet the pennied out guide thread is still up there?

[Friend of Sonic]

Wait, is Mario DDR on clearance? Someone mentioned it being 40 dollars?

[Greendomo]

I'm not sure if it's a clearance or Platinum Hits, but Doom 3: CE for Xbox is $19.99, and the silver 360 faceplates are $4.74 at my Target. Obviously, YMMV.

I picked up the silver faceplate for $4.74 at Pacoima target

[RockoMan]

theres about 1021029381209389012 mario DDRs at my TRU around here.

[foofoofiifoo]

Is it actually on clearance or not?

[bigjay]

First of all, I'd like to thank whoever suggested going to Target on Mondays to look for the clearance deals. Usually I go later in the week, but I went yesterday after work and hit the motherload. Below is what I picked up.

"Donkey Konga 2" with bongos :gc: $19.99
"Mario Tennis: Power Tour" :gba: $3.74
"Drill Dozer" :gba: $3.74
"Dr. Mario/Puzzle League" :gba: $3.74
"World Tour Soccer: 2006" :ps2: $3.74 (I have since learned that this is a horrible game. I just bought it because I plan on getting a PS2 soon and wanted to build my library)

[superfuzz]

Went to two targets today nothing,not one game

[Rictor]

Finally...Target # 1 in Roseville MN finally put Fantastic Four GC for $4.98. Wasn't it $4.98 like 2 weeks ago in other parts of the U.S.?

It was still ringing up $15 here...I keep scanning it every couple weeks. They have 3 or 4 copies on the clearance rack. I'm waiting for the magic $5 price.

[Corvin]

I know there are a few CAGers in Louisville. Hurstbourne location had 1 silver faceplate left last night at close for $4.74.

I know that isn't much, but it may help someone.

[bigjay]

I know there are a few CAGers in Louisville. Hurstbourne location had 1 silver faceplate left last night at close for $4.74.

I know that isn't much, but it may help someone.

They also had one or two of these at the Target by Jefferson Mall as well.

[locutus411]

Auto Assault (PC MMO) - $5.
The Dungeons and Dragons MMO - $7.

Several copies of each. Layton Utah Target.

[phear3d]

got back from target, found a copy of Soul Calibur 2 non-gh for $3.74, and 2 copies of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence guides for $3.98ea. I had the guy scan DDRE2 and it wasnt on sale, i thought it was though. Is the DDR Ultramix on sale by any chance?

[Will]

If anyone can or has snagged a mario tennis for the gba Id be interested.

[Demontooth]

I know there are a few CAGers in Louisville. Hurstbourne location had 1 silver faceplate left last night at close for $4.74.

I know that isn't much, but it may help someone.

All the Target on Westport and Hubbards Lane had was Mario Tennis GBA marked down to $20.98. BLAH!

[whitereflection]

Auto Assault (PC MMO) - $5.


Is this the limited edition version or regular? Does it end with 9 cents? I thought I read somewhere that that would mean it's probably a non-clearance price drop (and would prolly not be specific to just one region).

[Scorch]

That Auto Assault is also $4.xx at my store, along with Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (PC) and King Kong (PC).

[sarausagi]

Just got some HOT deals

M and M's chocolate candies [standard size] original or peanut 17 cents

Payday and PayDay Avalanche standard size 18 cents

Bubbalicious Watermelon 10 pack 21 cents

YMMV = )

[Stoneage]

Just got some HOT deals

Are these backwards compatible with the Xbox 360?

[sarausagi]

Are these backwards compatible with the Xbox 360?

I don't know about that, but I know the Bubbalicious is XBox Live enabled and that the Payday is in Dolby 5.1

But seriously, my real deal was FIRE EMBLEM PATH OF RADIENCE for $7.48, last copy.

[modium]

The OP says this thread is for clearanced items, and not sales/reductions, but I thought I'd post it here to save clutter.

I found Field Commander (PSP) for $19.99 at the Target in Seekonk, MA last night. It was marked as such, and they still had a few more.

[Aconitic]

sorry if posted already...but i saw someoen said donkey kong jungle beat for 19.99

well my target had it for 13.94

[allyourblood]

sorry if posted already...but i saw someoen said donkey kong jungle beat for 19.99

well my target had it for 13.94

yep. that's how much i paid. well, i don't remember the last number, but $13.9x. fun game.

[Strider Turbulence]

I saw a ton of Simpsons Hit & Run (ps2) for $13.xx and Odama for $34.xx at the Target in Watertown Mall.

[Friend of Sonic]

I saw a ton of Simpsons Hit & Run (ps2) for $13.xx and Odama for $34.xx at the Target in Watertown Mall.
Odama eh? Can't wait for it to drop more. Thanks.

[eau]

A Target I went to last week had a overhaul in the game section. They pushed a LOT of games in the endcap and had a section sealed off for PS3. They even had the posters and banner set up. I scanned a lot of games in the endcap myself (since they were out of glass cage) and all rang up at full price :cry:

[anotherpoorgamer]

I don't understand the whole clearance thing for games.
Are all the games mentioned here considered as clearance, the only difference being the prices, depending on location or is it possible that a clearance game may not be in the system at all at another Target and ring up at full price?
Thanks ahead.

[Aconitic]

when i went to check out with donkey kong jungle beat..it scanned 0.00...but rather then give it to me (:cry:) he checked the tag ..then came back and said 54.99. i asked him if he could check in the system and he used the pricing machine (i think they use it to scan the barcodes to print out the tags) and showed up 13.94 on that.

[whitereflection]

Odama eh? Can't wait for it to drop more. Thanks.

Odama was $24.xx at the Target here in NY. I didn't know it was a good deal.

[the3rdkey]

Targets in Deaborn and Novi Michigan have Dungeon and Dungeons Online Stormreach for about $8 and an Sony Online Entertainment Station pack for about $8 as well.

All this is for the PC!!!

[Friend of Sonic]

Odama was $24.xx at the Target here in NY. I didn't know it was a good deal.
I dunno if people would consider it a good deal, you can get it for 24.99 after GGC at Bestbuy. I'm just dying to play it.

[soulwish2003]

I saw a ton of Simpsons Hit & Run (ps2) for $13.xx and Odama for $34.xx at the Target in Watertown Mall.


Yep, noticed a cart full of them waiting for the clearance rack here in Melbourne also... same prices.

[speedy05]

my Target has Odama for $34.98, I'll wait 'til it drops some more.

[druciferwept]

sorry for starting a new thread for this, but the old Target clearance thread is gone?

About two weeks ago i noticed that Target had placed all copies of Odama on endcap clearance for 34.98. Can anyone confirm a drop for this yet? That's obviously no deal--but i know Target does fairly regular drops on clearance stuff.

[Arkay Firestar]

I can confirm at my store too...problem is it will only drop a bit every monday...and I think will get snagged up before its a deal.

[Rozz]

This is one of those games that I am willing to try, but only for a nice price (around $10 or so) My Target had several on clerance.

[io]

Hell, even Gamerush dropped the regular price on this to $29.99 a few weeks back. I think Best Buy too... Hopefully I can find one mistagged at a Target in 3-4 weeks when it is down to $12.48.

[Karyyk]

Yeah, Best Buy has it for $29.99. I want to buy it, but I'm waiting for $20 or less...

[almasy82]

If anyone wants a mint one not used.. I will sell it for $20 honestly never got around to playing it. I have over 250+ on gametz.
pm

[TimPV3]

I can confirm this and Pokemon XD have dropped. They weren't on an endcap yet but were still in a pulltub that was getting tagged (they're so slow)

[richbastard]

I wouldnt pay 5 cents for this game.

[whitereflection]

It was $25 when I went to my Target last Friday. I don't think it has dropped again yet.

[onikage]

The Target clearance thread still exists, but it got unstickied because some people thought it was unecessary. So now, we get have new threads pop up whenever a clearance deal is found. It's not your fault though.

The Target and K-Mart clearance threads should still be stickied. I'm not sure what they were thinking taking those popular threads off a spot on the first page.

Anyone who finds a clearance deal at Target should just bump the old thread.

[skullflame]

My target has it for $20.

[norkusa]

Odama has been $30 at Best Buy since July. Just use the GGC and get it for $25 there.

[rcaido]

Yeah seriously...K-mart thread is the only one i check regularly...As for Odama been waiting to get this, i saw a couple of targets that had a few of these on clearance 34.98...This was last Saturday...I think if it goes down to $15 i'll pick it up...

[lurknomore]

I'm waiting for the sub-$15 price point. I have a feeling that by then the boxes will be a bit mushed and mashed up....but I'm willing to wait.

[Strider Turbulence]

yeah, I saw this a week or two ago and posted it in the Target thread. If anyone lives in Boston, MA and wants the game. The Virgin Mega Store had like 6 copies for $9.99 on Wendsday.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

I got this for like $19 new at Rhinos a few months back, I don't think I would pay any more then that.

[WiiDSmoker]

yeah i got this for 15 at rhino's, this is a great game however, very innovative and fresh!!

[crewj]

i saw a couple last night at target. they had a whole slew of games on an endcap. so i grabbed a bunch of games and price checked 'em, but most were 19.99 with odama at 34.

they're making way for the wii and ps3

[neudog]

I'm waiting for the sub-$15 price point. I have a feeling that by then the boxes will be a bit mushed and mashed up....but I'm willing to wait.

I recommend stashing then. My store had 3 on the shelf, but mysteriously there are only 2 now:-P

[neudog]

Just a heads up for all of you that have Target's that donate to Goodwill. I was at my Goodwill yesterday and they had some of the recent guides that are listed in this thread; MGS3:Subsistence, King Kong, etc.

[Corvin]

my Target has Odama for $34.98, I'll wait 'til it drops some more.

Ditto for Hurstbourne in Louisville.

[Wolfkin]

I'm new and I was about to post this.. good thing I checked. anyway my Target (Atl,Ga) had it for around $32 I think. I would like to buy it at $15 or less but I highly highly doubt it will survive that long. Anyhow it gets down to $20 it will be picked clean.

[Rictor]

I might grab it if it's still in stock at $10-12, otherwise I'll wait for Circuit City or Best Buy to clearance out their 50 million copies collecting dust. This game got pretty bad to mediocre reviews all around, mostly due to the difficulty of controlling your troops, I believe. I'll give it a chance anyway...just not going to pay a lot for this muffler.

By the way, this will hit rock bottom price around the same time Target gets in their Wii games, so it's a title to keep an eye out for when you go to Target to pick up your 3 Wii titles to get your free $20 gift card (best Wii launch deal posted so far).

[speedy05]

Odama is down to $24.XX finally at my local Target, time to buy.

[banzaiwolfe]

when i went to check out with donkey kong jungle beat..it scanned 0.00...but rather then give it to me (:cry:) he checked the tag ..then came back and said 54.99. i asked him if he could check in the system and he used the pricing machine (i think they use it to scan the barcodes to print out the tags) and showed up 13.94 on that.

When an item shows up as $0.00 they'll either give you the last clearance price for it, or it needs to be salvaged. $0.00 is how Target lists things that are to be salvaged, they won't just "give it to you".

[topnotch97]

Frack! my Target just pulled out the remaining Odamas. even though they were there yesterday.

[Rozz]

Just a heads up for all of you that have Target's that donate to Goodwill. I was at my Goodwill yesterday and they had some of the recent guides that are listed in this thread; MGS3:Subsistence, King Kong, etc.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/airbornearmywife/KI.jpg There is no need to fight, there are items for all:razz:

^^ I like that part of the sig! Nice!

My Target had a Shadow of the Collosus guide for a mere 5 bones... if it was 1 cent I would have bought it.

[eau]

Only if Goodwill is not trying to sell them at a higher price than Target's clearance price ;)

[neudog]

Only if Goodwill is not trying to sell them at a higher price than Target's clearance price ;)

The ones I found were $1.49 w/ 50% off due to the sticker color, so basically you should be paying $.75-1.49. Of course we all know this is YMMV, but it is worth checking out if you want any of the guides.:)

[Roufuss]

Odama is down to $24.XX finally at my local Target, time to buy.

Eh, that's just the price at Best Buy with a GGC... this is one I'm hoping gets to be $10 or lower, since they are in the glass cases around here and normal people won't be able to find them probably.

[Freshwillis]

I got Baseball Mogul 2007 (PC) for 4.98. I'm addicted to it.

[speedy05]

Eh, that's just the price at Best Buy with a GGC... this is one I'm hoping gets to be $10 or lower, since they are in the glass cases around here and normal people won't be able to find them probably.

yeah, I hear ya but my BB no longer carries it & they are all out of the glass with the red $24.XX sticker on all of 'em so I really would hate to miss 'em.

[Masterkyo]

I'll pickup ODAMA for $15 or less ;)

[djak1]

I'll pickup ODAMA for $15 or less ;)


ditto - checked it tonight, and its still holding strong for $24.98. hopefully, it will drop next week :pray:

[sterlingice]

Still $25 around here, too

SI

[Corvin]

:lol: Everyone is watching this one like a hawk. I went yesterday. $25.

Another $10 and it's mine. :)

[darkwingduck13]

Odama still $24.98 here as well. I keep checking... They've only got 3 copies, and I'm afraid all the boxes will be crushed and fucked up before it drops low enough for me to buy. :(

[doc005]

Hopefully Odama will drop soon to a good price.
There were only three left the last time I checked.
I tried to hide them, so hopefully no one will find them

[brainiac]

everquest titanium for pc - $4.98

picked up 3 of them, took 'em straight to ebay, and sold for more than $20 each. heh heh heh heh heh. :cool: :rocks: :awesome: :ohyeah:

[rarebucky]

Wouldn't it be possible to buy odama at 25 now and return and rebuy when it's cheaper? seems a lot easier than 'hiding' the game.

[kell]

Wouldn't it be possible to buy odama at 25 now and return and rebuy when it's cheaper? seems a lot easier than 'hiding' the game.

Unfortunately it isn't that easy. Target won't price adjust clearance items. They will not let you buy them back immediately either. Instead, they have to be "processed" and are returned to the floor later. So returning and rebuying them is a gamble since you don't know when the games will return to the floor. I lost 3 psp games for cheap that way...:cry: .

[TheRaven]

I got Baseball Mogul 2007 (PC) for 4.98. I'm addicted to it.

Damn, I had no idea Target carried BM. I will have to look for it. 5 bucks is awesome!

[CGH]

Has Super Mario Advance 4 dropped in price yet?

[addicted2games]

My Target has 3 of the Odama games still sitting in the glass case with no clearance tags on them at all. Hopefully they will stay in there until the price really goes low. Then I will get one.

Agreed! I tried return, rebuy, and do price adjustment but no GO for me. They told me it's clearance & it ringup $0 on the computer. So they either use small computer unit to scann it to findout what's the last price & sale it to you (YMMV). Surely, 90% they take it back to the backroom & send it back to somewhere.

[crewj]

did a price check yesterday and it rang up at 24.xx at a chicago area target.

[oxidative]

Since the Target clearance thread is missing now, Electronics at Target (including video games) drop in clearance discount every Monday, if they are going to drop. Odama is 50% of at my Target. I'm waiting for 75% :)

[Rainmaker]

I'd like to pick up Odama hopefully if it still available when it drops down to $15 or lower.

[soulwish2003]

I could not believe they they sold the 7 or 8 copies that were on the shelf for 34.98.

[auralia]

25$ at my target

[DCGCPlayer]

25$ at my target
Which is still more than it costs at Best Buy after GGC - reg price is $29.99-$5=$24.99.

Not a great game IMHO. I rented it from Gamefly and gave up after 10 minutes. The microphone is a gimick that frankly didn't work for me - using the standard controller made it even more blah. Definitely not worth spending more that 10 bucks on.

I agree with the Gamespot mini-review: "It's definitely unique as far as strategy games go, but Odama's novel mechanics and oddly authentic samurai feel are kneecapped by punishing difficulty and oft frustrating controls. 6.6"

[Nemo_Hyde]

Around here, goodwill, where tehy sell it for 75% of retail (25% off)

i must be blind but i can never find the ggc at the bestbuy in cuyahoga falls

[Rictor]

My Target had a ton of these in the case...doesn't look like they sold even one copy at full price. They'll probably still be there when it hits $10-12. Clearance games never sell at Target until they take them out of the case and put them on an endcap. Hopefully, they don't do that with this game, because I'd like a $12 copy.

[speedy05]

Beatmania is $29.99 at my local Target.

[Oddball]

Odama at my local Target was definitely on clearance for $12.xx.

[svrasputin]

We lowered the price on Odama to $12.48 this morning at my Target. It was really odd, because normally electronics markdowns are on monday at my store.

[speedy05]

I'll have to check on Odama tomorrow.

[topnotch97]

it's YMMV, people. i just got back and Odama is still $25.

[KamiNoYadoru]

I grabbed Odama for $12 today, they were put apart from the video games, of course the staff at my Target is very sketchy when it comes to keeping stuff in a good place to be nabbed up by employees and friends of such.

[jer0009]

Just picked it up for $12 at target off of Millerville in Baton Rouge LA. 3 copies left

[Ranger Rick]

Is this game really that good? From what I'm seeing it's been reviewed as mostly a 6.5 across the board.

[Wez455]

Is this game really that good? From what I'm seeing it's been reviewed as mostly a 6.5 across the board. no its not very good. i want one at a good price tho, just cause its weird as hell.

[Strell]

Oh damns, I have wanted me some Odama.

If I don't find it and someone finds it for 12, let me know. I'll report back soon.

[doc005]

Just checked, Odama is still $25 at my target

[bigjay]

Just checked, Odama is still $25 at my target

It is still $25 at mine too. I'm hoping it will be $12 on Monday. I think they still have three copies left.

[lawdood]

Still $25 at mine as well so I guess this is YMMV at least until perhaps Monday.

[Strell]

None at mine at all. So if someone were willing to ship a $12 Odama for about 15-16 bucks (in a box, slow shipping), lemme know.

Also if you found Wii DVDs for a penny, I could use one of those as well.

And I could really use some milk...

Here, I'll make you a list....

Well if you still need both come Monday I can probably help you out. They had several Odama's still marked at $25 at my Target along with several Wii DVD's ( I picked up one) If Odama's marked down Monday I'll be picking that up and can snag an extra of that and the Wii DVD.

Aye sir. Let me know what happens since I know I won't snag a copy before then (if ever).

Appreciate it!

[musicastar]

I picked up Beatmania Bundle for $29.99 yesterday. Didn't have a price tag or anything above it so I asked the guy to pull it out and scan it. It's not a huge savings or anything but way lower than before.

[shiningslade]

I checked the price on Kingdom Hearts COM again and it came up $.00 So I took one up to the cashier and it scanned $.00 there too. She asked her manager what to do and the manager told her to key in some number then the price as marked (which was $9.98) then take 75% off of that price. So I ended up getting it for $2.50! I then told the cashier I'd be back in a few because there were more back in electronics. So I grabbed about 5 copies of the game. I love it when I can rescue a game destined to the Goodwill. :)

I also picked up Wrestlemania 21 for the Xbox for $4.98 at a different store.

[GizmoGC]

Grabbed Odama for $12.48 at my Target. It was marked $24.98 as always.

[Ranger Rick]

Wii DVD? Also Odama is no longer in stock at my local Target :(

Wow...KH: CoM for $2.50? I've been dying to get the game now that i have my DS Lite :) Too bad this is YMMV.

[Sc4rfac3]

i got battalion wars for 15 odama was 25

[kdunn77]

Picked up Odama for $12.48 in Apex, NC.

[psunami]

I just scanned a copy of Odama yesterday at my store for $25.xx. I'll have to swing by today and see if it's dropped down to the $12.48 price... that would make it worth while.

[Droogs]

Went in to look for Odama which they didn't have and looked at Beatmania bundle which had a tag of $30. I don't know if it's been at that price for awhile or not because i don't keep up to date with this thread.

[soulwish2003]

Picked up Odama for $12.48 in Apex, NC.

12.48 at the Melbourne Target (bought 1 Saturday) and ~$24 at the Vierra Super Target (checked Sunday). 'Cheap' games at both of these stores are placed about 4 isles from the game section... sort of close to hardware/sporting goods.

[v0yce]

12.48 @ Little Rock.

Finally a comfortable price to try this out.

[Renald]

I just checked today and Odama's still $25 at my Target.

[escapekey]

Just checked one in Kissimmee, FL.
Tagged $24.48. Rings up $24.48.
Looks like YMMV for now.

But hey, at least I got one of those 1-cent Activision Wii preview discs. I've been wanting to check out Downhill Jam.

[Joe Fongul]

Picked a copy of Odama up for $12.48 at the River Park Target in Fresno CA.

They did have two more copies left as well (in the case in good to great condition) along with Max Payne 2 (Xbox) & The Getaway: Black Monday (PS2) for $7.48

[wjhard63]

I have an extra Odama (12.48 + tax) I picked up for any CAG who couldn't find one. Not looking to make any money, just to break even on shipping, paypal fee, and the cost of the game.

I have an extra Wii preview disc I'll throw in the box when I ship.

Please PM me if interested.

Thanks,

James

[heffaji]

Picked Odama as well at $12.48.

[addicted2games]

Destin, FL Target has two copies of Odama for $12.48 each. But the boxes are a little crushed.

[djak1]

$12.48 here as well.

Also saw The Suffering: The Ties That Bind, and Evil Dead: Regeneration (both XBOX) for $7.48 (50%) off.

[GunstarRed]

I got the last Odama for $12.48 at the Rancho, CA Target. The box was beaten to death, but everything inside is fine and the price was right. I also picked up The Movies Stunts & Effects Expansion Pack (PC) for $9.98 for my girlfriend. I grabbed the last Wii preview DVD for $0.01 as well clearly tagged as a penny on the shelf.

[speedy05]

my Target finally had Odama down to $12.48, got one with a perfect box. :-)

Also, anyone have an extra Wii Preview disc? My Target doesn't have any...I could trade a Wii Gift Card for one.

[topnotch97]

man, what's up with my Target. they re-arrange everything like everyday. last night (sunday) they had Odama's in one area, and today they have it another section of the store. wtf!

[neudog]

That is why you hide a copy in an area that rarely gets touched.

[Renald]

When does Target update the prices? The thread mentioned that before but I don't remember what it said. Was it Fridays or Saturdays?

My Target had 3 on Sunday but they only had one today ($24.98 still) so I'll have to keep a close eye on this one.

Electronics prices are updated on Mondays.

[obijuan71]

Have anyone found this deal on the DFW area?????

C'mon Texaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss............ ......

[GunstarRed]

I found another Target with two more copies of Odama improperly marked, but ringing up at $12.48. I could get more for other CAGs, yet the cost to ship it in a crushproof box + taxes, PayPal fees, etc., drives the costs up to about $18 shipped, thus killing the deal, unless someone wanted to trade for it.

If they hold out until the next price drop, the shipped cost will be a much better deal, so I'll keep an eye on them.

[kayabound]

I just happened to be in Target (Arizona, marked as a Price Cut so I dont know if thats regional or local or not) yesterday and saw this and bought it. Hey anything that is half price a Greatest Hits title is a good deal. Pretty fun game so far!

[BigDirty]

Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction (XBOX) - $7.48; Hackensack NJ

This should go into the Target clearance thread. Also it can also be found for 8.96 at Circuit City for Xbox and PS2.

[Damian]

This should go into the Target clearance thread. Also it can also be found for 8.96 at Circuit City for Xbox and PS2.
Price cuts are not clearance, they're just signage indicating a new lower price (permanent unless the sign says "temporary") and should be national.

[wjhard63]

my Target finally had Odama down to $12.48, got one with a perfect box. :-)

Also, anyone have an extra Wii Preview disc? My Target doesn't have any...I could trade a Wii Gift Card for one.

I have an extra sealed preview DVD disc I'd trade for a Wii gift card - my Target didn't have any in stock. PM me if interested (your mailbox is full).

[Nemo_Hyde]

$12.48 at my target. GO GO GO!!!!

[ChaoticClimax]

$12.48 at my Target as well.

[jgamezcua]

Picked up a copy of Odama at my target for $12.48 yesterday in Washington, DC

[crewj]

cripes... i gotta go today!!

[shrike4242]

Anyone found a copy of Odama, could you post the SKU # for it? I'd like to check to see if any of the Targets around me have it, and it's useless to do so without the Target SKU # or UPC #.

UPC # appears to be 045496963422 , for anyone who needs it.

The one Target I did call had it, though he happily rattled off the shelf tag price. :wall::wall::wall:

[crewj]

besides calling in, is there another way to check in stock merchandise @ target online?

[ScorpioKyle]

i saw a single copy at the target in pinellas park, fl for 24.98

[shrike4242]

besides calling in, is there another way to check in stock merchandise @ target online?
Nope. Target Online is a seperate part of Target, and they can't do any inventory checks for in-store inventory.

[Wlogan31]

$12.48 at mine, but the box is SMASHED completely...

[psunami]

It was $25 at the West Madison, WI Target yesterday. I might give it another try again today though at the $12 price range.

[littlemonkey]

Thanks OP and thanks Nemo for the update. Been watching this one a while, got it today for $12.48. :)

littlemonkey

[Nemo_Hyde]

$12.48 at my target. GO GO GO!!!!

Sorry, that should have been - PRESS FORWARD! PRESS FORWARD! RALLY! RALLY! RALLY!



4 copies at my target, plus 2x chibi robo and 1 Fire Emblem Patho f Radiance for $14.99 each.

Need to cash out my Gift Certificate...

[Wolfpup]

This should go into the Target clearance thread. Also it can also be found for 8.96 at Circuit City for Xbox and PS2.

Ya know, while it would be nice to update that list, it wouldn't do any good for people who might want to buy the game. listing it like this is the only way someone's going to see it, unless they want to daily check a ton of super huge threads.

[iceblast21]

That's very true... those mega lists are a b*tch to look through...

Oh, and Gun is a GREAT game, as it turns out. I bought it at the CC sale, and I was surprised by how good it was! Buy it!!!!

[Gothic Walrus]

There's one copy of Odama left at the Ann Arbor/Saline Target for $12.48, if anyone's interested. It's battered, but so was the one I picked up today.

I also found a copy of Gunstar Super Heroes for $13.98. There was only one there and I bought it, but it looks like that might be hitting the clearance shelves at Target stores.

Other finds...The Movies Stunts and Effects for $10, a copy of one of the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 expansion packs (the zoo one) for $13.98 (and a very large stack of PS2 and Xbox games I didn't bother to dig through and don't remember the prices of the ones I did see anyway :-().

Also, does anyone know how long you've got for a return at Target? I bought the expansion for The Movies about two weeks ago, and I was considering buying a copy on clearance and returning it with the old receipt for the $10 price difference, but if I'm out of the range...well, it's not worth the gas.

[davegargamel]

Scooped up a copy today. Thanks, OP and updaters.

With the mic from Mario Party 6 and now this one, I am almost ready to begin recruiting for my Nintendo boy band.

[David85]

I have seen the regular price of this game as $30 at Best Buy, and CC for at least a month now.

[crewj]

picked mine up at a second target... last copy.

couldn't find the wii gift cards (the ones that glow?)

couldn't believe the wii trailer dvd was 49.99

[Nemo_Hyde]

anyone know the trade in value for Odama at GS/EB?

[stoned99]

5$, which considering they still have it new for 49$ is shocking. I picked Odama up today for 12$ and Driver Parallel lines and Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers, both for 10$

They also had Fight Night 2 and MVP 2006 (10$) and The GetAway (PS2 - 8$). I saw The Movies AddOn Stunts for 10$ as well in the PC game section.

[Rictor]

I grabbed one at Target today for $12.49...they still had about 4 copies in the display case...looks like I'm the only one that bought one. If it drops to $6.25 in a week or so, I might go grab a couple more for trade bait.

[Rozz]

Nice price, but I'm still gonna wait for it to drop a bit more...

90 days for returns

[Masterkyo]

Yay! I just called my local Target they have 3 copies for $12.48 a piece. i m on my way to pickup 2 copies (one for me & one for friend) :)

[BIGmog]

Gunstar Super Heroes GBA - $13.98
Odama GC - $12.98

Super Target in Aurora, CO

[imacgod]

$12.48 here at one of the PG County Targets near College Park.

[shrike4242]

I ended up finding a copy at the South County Target at the $12.48 price. I think there were three other copies there as well.

They actually had the clearance price tags on them.

That's called return fraud, and it's a felony. People like you who cheat the system annoy me.

[crewj]

yea... the one i picked up had 2 clearance tags on it. 24.** and 12.**

[SpreadTheWord]

That's called return fraud, and it's a felony. People like you who cheat the system annoy me.

What's he doing wrong? Target gets a copy of the game returned and he gets his game at clearance price.

It's as if he bought the game, never opened it, returned it and bought the clearanced game.

There are a lot of shaddy things going on at CAG that you can point out. This is not one of them. Target loses nothing if he does this.

[Gothic Walrus]

That's called return fraud, and it's a felony. People like you who cheat the system annoy me.
How is this any different from the policies that stores offer where they'll give you the price difference if they put the item on sale during a certain window after your purchase?

It could just be that I'm a broke college student, but I don't see anything glaringly wrong with doing that...or anything that would make it a felony, for that matter.

[psunami]

The copy I picked up was still priced at $24.98 and still comes up at that.

Looks like I'll be waiting another week on this.

[snakelda]

I just came from target and several of them were for $34.98 and one of them was $12.98...I was going to get it but I decided not to....

[Masterkyo]

FYI: King Kong (XBOX) $9.98 & NBA 2k6 (XBOX) $9.98.

Actually, they lose the last price before clearance of the item, so if it's 10 bucks or so, Target loses 10 bucks.

[jimbodan]

The Target on Alta Arden has 2 copies of Odama, both boxes seem to be in really good shape. It rung up for me at 12.48$.

[oleander]

Gunstar Super Heroes GBA - $13.98
Odama GC - $12.98

Super Target in Aurora, CO How many copies of Odama were there?

[brianmoy]

I'll grab it for $12.48. Each Target I been to still has at least a few copies left on clearance last time I went. They are likely still there.

[Masterkyo]

I'll pickup extra copy for trade if it go down $8 or less next week.

[Kerig]

Ya know, while it would be nice to update that list, it wouldn't do any good for people who might want to buy the game. listing it like this is the only way someone's going to see it...

Seconded.

Target is so YMMV, it's not even worth checking that clearance list. You might as well just go to Target and see the 1 or 2 games they have that week.

This deal actually sounds like something one could easily obtain at any Target.

[dcswirl]

I almost grabbed one for $12.48, but I have such a back log of unplayed games already, I passed. Plus, it's for Cube which I hardly touch.

[io]

I'll pickup extra copy for trade if it go down $8 or less next week.

Isn't $12.48 the 75% off price, meaning it is unlikely to drop again before it is sent off to the netherworld (or Goodwill)? My local Target actually still has them locked up in the case with no clearance stickers on them. It has been a while since I've been able to snag a game like that. I'll have to print a UPC and see what they are selling it for.

[elmyra]

I'm torn on this one. It's a good price, and I really like weird games, but the reviews were just so awful.

[jerm78]

My Target has King Kong,The Warriors and Darkwatch for the Xbox for $9.98. There was about 3 other games for that price but I forget what they are, all Xbox.

[shrike4242]

I found a copy of Odama at the South County Target for $12.48. I think there were 2 or 3 other copies there.

Also found King Kong (Xbox) for $9.98, with 2-3 additional copies as well.

[speedy05]

I have an extra sealed preview DVD disc I'd trade for a Wii gift card - my Target didn't have any in stock. PM me if interested (your mailbox is full).

still interested? please PM me [it's empty now]. :-)

[eau]

is Odama $12.48 the lowest it will drop? I recall people generally said XX.94 is the lowest point before it goes out of the system.

[Moosejaw]

Yeah, Gun's been well-stocked at Target. My local Targets still have a bunch. I bought it there about a month or 2 ago when it was $10.99 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beat it, then traded it to EB during their trade 3 promotion and got back almost what I paid for it. I looked at it as a $2 rental that I got to keep for about 3 weeks.

Anyway, good game. And your local Target should have it. If so, pick it up.

[nwaugh]

Regardless of whether Odama is good or not, I don't understand why financial gambles like this make it to the US while better bets like Earthbound/Mother stay in Japan. I'm all about new and inventive games making it to market, but you'd figure that EA-style greed would occasionally benefit gamers.

[speedy05]

is Odama $12.48 the lowest it will drop? I recall people generally said XX.94 is the lowest point before it goes out of the system.

I was typing up the same question!

[YoshiFan1]

It depends on the item I think. Most times it seems like a game won't go past 75% off but once in a while a game will drop to half off the 75% off price. Geist I think dropped to $6.24 from the $12.48 75% off price.

[soonerdoc]

That's called return fraud, and it's a felony. People like you who cheat the system annoy me.

are you on crack? target has a 90 day price protection policy...there is NOTHING fraudulent about that.....

[Silver47]

They don't price guarantee clearance items, and the normal sale items are only price guaranteed for 14 days.

[icruise]

Got the last copy of Odama at the Champaign IL Target for $12.98. They had a lot of copies of Ninja Gaiden Black for $14.98, but I'm hoping it'll go down more. Also had Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and The Warrior for Xbox for $9.98. I believe they had Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks for $7.98 as well as a bunch of other stuff.

By the way, I would also trade one of those Wii DVDs for a Wii gift card (with nothing on it), since my store doesn't have any.

[MrNEWZ]

I'm torn on this one. It's a good price, and I really like weird games, but the reviews were just so awful.

I liked the game. It was more fun WITHOUT the mic though when they had the demo floating around in 2004, but I digress..

[blandstalker]

Target in Aliso Viejo, CA:

Odama - 12.98 - I took the last one
XBOX MK: Shaolin Monks - 7.48 2 left
XBOX Hulk: Ultimate Destruction - 7:48 1 left
PS2 Darkwatch 9.98
PS2 The Getaway 9.98 (I think)

[darkwingduck13]

Finally picked up Odama at my local Target...$12.98 was a price I could live with. :D

[soonerdoc]

They don't price guarantee clearance items, and the normal sale items are only price guaranteed for 14 days.


i am looking at the back of one of my target receipts which describes the 90 day return policy. the front says this receipt expires 2/03/07. you can return a product within 90 days at target. if they have it on clearance you can buy that item and return your original purchase without problem.

i am not going to argue this with you, because you are wrong...

[Archgarth]

While I haven't seen Odama at any store here (darn it), I did pick up Prince of Persia 3 The Two Thrones for the Xbox for 9.99 at my target.

[Moosejaw]

Stopped at my local Target (Puyallup, WA) tonight and happened to notica a couple small stacks of red-tagged games at the bottom of the PS2 case. I found 1 copy of Simpsons Hit & Run listed at $9.98, so I grabbed it. But they also had about a dozen copies of Sonic Heroes for Gamecube, also for $9.98, and there was a single copy of Star Wars Battlefront 2 For XBOX at the same price, as well as a lone copy of Madden '06 for PS2 for $20.xx.

I have no idea how widespread any of these prices are, but looking back over the last several pages, I didn't see any of them mentioned, so you might want to give it a try.

You'll notice, if you go to the return desk, that clearance merchandise can be refunded at the current clearance price. This language is in really big letters at all the Targets I've ever been to. However, application is YMMV.

So yes, you always have 90 days to return something. But you may not get a full refund of everything you initially paid if the item is on clearance.

There are, of course, ways around this. Waiting until the clearance item completely drops out of the system will usually get you a full refund. Also, taking the item to a different Target will often get you the full refund because Targets typically clearance at different rates.

Perhaps this is changing, though. I can't recall a time when a game dropped seemingly universally over all Targets like Odama has.

[Wolfpup]

Does Odama REQUIRE that microphone? (Does it come with it? I can't remember)

[shiningslade]

Ok, here is a list of games I saw the other day at Target:

4.98 Xbox
Yager

7.48 Xbox
LA Rush
Tony Hawk Underground

9.98 Xbox
Curious George
The Warriors
Tak & The Great Juju Challenge
Sonic Heroes PH
Cabelas Outdoor Adventures
007 From Russia With Love
Peter Jackson's King Kong
Harry Potter Goblet Of Fire

13.98 Xbox
Fight night Round 2
Driver Parallel Lines
Need For Speed Underground 2
Red Dead Revolver
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Tecmo Collection

14.98 Xbox
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06

Perhaps this is changing, though. I can't recall a time when a game dropped seemingly universally over all Targets like Odama has.

Now, I haven't read the sign at the customer service desk in your target, so this is just from a lot of overall Target clearance experience.

Clearance items will be refunded at the price on the purchase receipt. If you don't have a receipt, you will get the lowest/current clearance price (even though they can usually look up your purchase if you paid by credit/debit).
The CS desk person can refund the original purchase price if they find your purchase in the system, but they are definitely not supposed to. This is to protect against you buying something at the latest clearance price with cash and then returning it to get a refund from a previous purchase.

There seems to be confusion between price protection and returns.
The price protection doesn't cover clearances.
You CANNOT return and immediately re-buy something. Anything you return is put in the "return carts" (though some places may have other holding mechanisms) and re-enters the system, usually that night.

So:
- if you buy something, and it then goes on clearance/lower clearance, you can return the original purchase but aren't guaranteed that you can buy it at the lower price.
- if there are some left, you can buy one and return the original

Other note: Clearance implementation is 100% by individual store. I believe the word comes down from above to clearance things, but how the store does it is up to them. There are 4 Targets I hit weekly (all on the way to work) and clearance prices and schedules vary hugely. At one store, electronics never go past 50% - they salvage them first. At another, they are very slow to clearance items, because they have a higher sell rate. One Lego set I bought at 75% off ($25) stayed at the full $100 at another Target for more than 6 months! On the other hand, one that I go to that is a mile or two away from a newer/bigger/more popular Target has the best clearances, hands down.

Saw PS2 Davinci code yesterday for $9.99 at Target.

Still not cheap enough for me to pick up. Read multiple terrible reviews on it.

You'll notice, if you go to the return desk, that clearance merchandise can be refunded at the current clearance price. This language is in really big letters at all the Targets I've ever been to. However, application is YMMV.

So yes, you always have 90 days to return something. But you may not get a full refund of everything you initially paid if the item is on clearance.


That applies to holiday and seasonal merchandise only. If you buy a Halloween item when it is 50% off and return it 2 days later when it's 75% off, you'll only get the 75% off price back even if you have the receipt showing you paid the 50% off price.

With everything else like games, you'll get back the price you paid with your receipt even if the price dropped since you bought it.

[Rozz]

They don't price guarantee clearance items, and the normal sale items are only price guaranteed for 14 days.

Please stop spreading false information. You really seem like you dont know what the hell you're talking about.

[tarbelly]

nabbed the last one at bowie target in MD @ 12.48. ~25 was too much for a gambe, but the game is wicked fun. They are still @ BB tho for 25 (20 with ggc). ALso a few weeks back i saw hold em poker for DS for 1.48, there were 3 of them, i didnt bother since I had just picked up Clubhouse.

That's extremely stupid.

So let's say I bought Odama at say, $12.98, and later on decided against keeping it and just wanted to get my money back and it had dropped to say, $6.94, Target is only going to give me $6.94 back?

That's a pretty fucked up policy... it must be something new because I've never had that happen to me, and I would raise hell if it did.

It's new to me too. The only policy that operated in that fashion was the one for holiday clearance.

[YoshiFan1]

It's not true, as I mentioned on the last page and as you stated, it's only for holiday and seasonal merchandise on clearance

[sarausagi]

I know it's not games

but can anyone find some PIXEL CHIX [okay it kind of is games]

I got a purple one for $7.48 and it's actually really fun, so now I want the other houses [yellow, blue, I think a green]

If they're cheaper, I'd love that too..but I can't find anymore...they sold the last ones here about a month ago

Plus these are a deal, they retail for $34 so it's nice to get them so cheap

I've known this for a few years now, after I tried to return a gift I got.

Target's return policies suck.

[Wolfpup]

That sounds like it could be illegal, frankly.

If that happens just tell them you'd like to price adjust to 6.49.

Regarding Target returns....

If you buy something and save your receipt, they will give you what you paid for it back...no questions...on general regular pricedmerchandise

I think where people get confused...if you buy it on clearance for $20, and then they drop it to $10, sometimes they will, and sometimes they won't..it seems fairly arbitrary...I think it is left up to the discretion of the person doing the transaction...you bought it last week and it dropped is different than you bought it 6 months ago...I think they price adjust if it moves within 30 days. But some take a harder line and won't on clearance...they will offer you either a refund on a return, but no continuining adjustment.

On holiday stuff...you cannot buy seasonal stuff and then return it after the holidays and get full amount back (generally)...they do this to keep people from "renting" stuff like yard decorations..buying in Nov and then coming back in January and wanting full price refund...same for crap on halloween costumes.


I have bought and returned a bunch of stuff to Target, and their policies seem fair and reasonable. If you let anyone return anything for any reason, you end up with abuse that costs everyone money. My ex-wife used to work at Wal-Mart...and the snowbirds would come down in the fall and furnish their trailers with new TV's and what not..and then come back in the spring and get a full refund for what they paid. Also folks would buy a new computer, stick their old computer in the box, and then return it to Wal-Mart for a refund. Wal-Mart didn't care because they just shipped it back to the suppliers and made them eat it...but guess who pays for it eventually? All of us who are not criminals or scumbags.

And yes, target generally wants a receipt to make sure they are not refunding on something bought cheaper elsewhere (especially for Cash..I thin they will generally give you a merchandise instore credit without a receipt)...that is why they give out gift receipts these days. So if you get a gift that sucks and you want to return it...blame the person that gave it to you without the gift receipt and not Target.

They also keep track of how much you return if you don't have a receipt and limit you to a given amount per year...to keep the lid on professional shoplifters.

[Wolfpup]

Oh, okay, so you CAN return stuff for the price you bought it at with a receipt. That's fine then. I thought you couldn't return it for what you bought it at, which would be nuts.

[lavalamp]

I totally forgot about the holiday stuff in my post, sorry about that. I was focused on games. :)
Yes, holiday and "seasonal" stuff is as stated above, only returnable for the lowest clearance price. Thus the sign.

[oxidative]

I have never had an issue returning a clearance item to Target. I get back what I paid, no hassle. The only questions I get are "Is there something wrong with this" or "Is there a reason you are returning this?" Easily answered questions. "No" and "changed my mind" always work great. I feel Target has one of the best return policies of all the big box stores. If you have a receipt, you haven't opened your game, you get your money back. Lines are usually quick.

One time, I bought a GBA game from the game case and since you don't really get to see the game, I ended up buying a GBA game box that someone stole the game out of. I didn't notice this until I went home. I went back to Target, told them what happened and they replaced my gameless game, no questions asked.

Try returning something to Fry's someday. Yikes!

Target also has a 90 day return policy. I think it has one of the best return policies of most stores. Only two that I heard is better on certain items Walmart and COSTCO ( great for electronics ).

Picked up Darkwatch (Xbox) w/T-Shirt today for $13.

[eau]

Huh? Darkwatch /w T-Shirt at Target? I didn't know Darkwatch ever came with a T-Shirt?!

[speedy05]

Picked up Darkwatch (Xbox) w/T-Shirt today for $13.

any pics? I've not heard of Darkwatch with a T-shirt.

[erehwon]

I saw one of those t-shirt bundles at my target, like a week ago. I didn't pick it up since I'm not really interested in the game.

When do you guys think we'll see the next markdown on Odama? I'd rather pay $6 for it than $12. My target still has 4 copies in the case, marked at $34.

[v0yce]

Yeah, they had about 5 or so copies of Darkwatch which I was about to pass on and hope to get it for cheaper unitl I noticed one extra thick copy. The T-Shirt was bundled with it just like how BB does their preorders with Ts if you're familiar.

The T-Shirt itself is black with the Capcom Logo on the front with "Darkwatch" on the back accross the sholders and with an image of Tala (I think, the kind of skanky one?) under it.

I'm at work, but I'll try to remember to take a pic when I get home.

[eau]

Any chance that Odama may drop further from $12.48?

There's always a chance, but there's also a chance they'll just send them to Goodwill.

1 left at 118th and NE Glison in Portland as of Saturday for $12.48.
