Original Target Clearance Thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80)

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

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

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

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

2) Go to www.half.com (http://www.half.com/), http://bits.com/ or similar website and search for the game to locate its UPC code number. Its in the grey box underneath the box art graphic.

3) Go to http://upcdata.info/ , www.milk.com/barcode/ (http://www.milk.com/barcode/) , or www.upcdatabase.com (http://www.upcdatabase.com/) and enter the code so you can print out the UPC.

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

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

Games that do not sell after being discounted are often donated to local Goodwills for sale at their retail stores, so check there when the clearance items dissappear.

This thread is for Clearance deals, not sale items or raincheck "scams"
Please Post City, State and Store (If City has many stores), game, system and price

Keep extraneous discussion to a minimum, as posts not pretating to clearance deals may be deleted by the mod crew.

As always-- YMMV

Example:

Philadelphia, PA Snyder Plaza
BigDirty's Wild Ride, XBox, $4.98

New thread, well ok. Yesterday picked up the Swiss 512 Flash Drive for $11.24 each :D

[GizmoGC]

I'll have to grab one of these. They're pretty neat.

[Masterkyo]

Few Camera MSRP $80-$150 on sales for $20-$38.

[csidegamer]

That was my thought as well.
I already have a R200 which will go to my kids.

If my wife decides not to use either for gifts, I got a cheap set of original carts.

These were found at the Target in Batavia, IL. I got the last ones, one being opened but complete.

I vaguely remember seeing one in the Elgin, IL store on Randall Rd. last week.

[boyboy1080]

went by target. i got timesplitters future perfect for 4.98

when i went to scan it. it said not on file. went to cashier, scanned it with hand held scanner thats how i got the price

[adamsappel]

The 256MB SD cards that are branded for the Video Now camera (but are universal) are $4.98.

[GizmoGC]

Pickd up another XBL Kit, 360 Component Cables, GBA Micro Case, and the Pod Coffee maker today. Nice finds

[Richlough]

Pickd up another XBL Kit, 360 Component Cables, .... Nice finds

I hate you .;)

My 3 Targets were picked clean .:cry:

[Pasco]

Picked up Meteos (NDS) for $7.50. It would not scan so they had to do a price check.

[mattcube64]

I got X360 component cables for 9.98, thanks.

[agapens]

I picked up a Philips 23" HDTV LCD tv at Target yesterday for 315 bucks. It was originally 900 so I'm pretty pleased. Also picked up some sony liv electronics for cheap....loving my 30 dollar CD Shower radio!

[MamoruNoHakkyou]

:wave:agapens, was that TV on clearance, a display model or what? I know these things are sometimes YMMV but ... I need to find a new tv on the cheap soon. Thanks for the info.

In regards to finding a good deal on clearance, I went on Saturday the 29th and didn't see much of anything. They did have a bunch of Rayovac 8 pack AA batteries for $1.98 down from $3.99 though.. Not the best of days at Target but oh well. Just so I can get this right, Mondays are usually the days that clearance is either reduced more or items are put on clearance right?

[DuckM4n]

there are a couple of those at my store too 23" magnavox lcd tv

saw some XBL kits for 17.98 gonna pick them up tommorrow

and another thing i saw was a four pack of games for 7.98 3 of them were crap but it had the EA collection which has 5 games (NFS: HP 2, LOTR:ROTK, James Bond: Nightfire, Red Alert 2, and something else) so thats 8 games for 8 dollars

[agapens]

:wave:agapens, was that TV on clearance, a display model or what? I know these things are sometimes YMMV but ... I need to find a new tv on the cheap soon. Thanks for the info.

The 315 was a display model. Pretty much in pristine condition. They also had two more that hadn't been taken out of the box but they were 430 or so. The only thing I had to buy were some 98 cent screws to attach the tv to its base.

[tickdude]

Supertarget in Roseville, MN

PC games

Far Cry $13.98
Medieval: Total War Gold Edition $13.98

[Soulhunter88]

At the Target in Benton Harbor, MI, I found a couple Xbox Logitech Cordless Headsets for only $12.48 a piece.

[CPTMcNair]

New thread, well ok. Yesterday picked up the Swiss 512 Flash Drive for $11.24 each :D

I went to one of my Target's. I couldn't find the Swiss 512. I found the 256 with the pliers for $30. What area was the 512?

[addicted2games]

I went to one of my Target's. I couldn't find the Swiss 512. I found the 256 with the pliers for $30. What area was the 512?
I got the 256 mb swiss tech 9 in 1 for $7.48 today. Couldnt find the 512 mb one.

[.JPG]

I got the 256 mb swiss tech 9 in 1 for $7.48 today. Couldnt find the 512 mb one.

The 512's are probably gone, but the 256's went down to $7.48? That aint bad either. Maybe I need to head back.

[Redeema]

Picked up a set of 360 HD AV cables, up for grabs for anyone interested.

[CPTMcNair]

I got the 256 mb swiss tech 9 in 1 for $7.48 today. Couldnt find the 512 mb one.

I was just there today. If you scan the 256mb, do they register for $7.48 on those aisle scanners or do they only ring up at the register?

[BigDirty]

Hackensack (Hackensack Ave) and Jersey City (Newport) locations:

Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, Styling Products (Bottles with free radio): $2.45

This deal stacks with the $1.00 off coupon that was in this past Sunday's newspaper coupon section. Ends up being a bottle of decent hair product, cheap radio, cheap earbuds, all for $1.45

[jalu6]

I was in the Hackensack Target also about 2 nights ago. Gaming wise, all I could find was Far Cry and some random RTS games. Also, the GF bought a few of hte bachelorette party stuff they had at the dollar bins toward the front.

Plus, I saw some customer get arrested for trying to take money out of the register when the cashier wasnt looking. Man, I love Target.

[addicted2games]

Mine actually had the red tag that said original price $29.99, clearance price $7.48.

One word....wow.

I am looking for a new thumb drive too, left mine in computer lab and someone jacked it! Bastards!!!

[spamfree2]

Found a Trace Memory 7.xx and Ultimate Spiderman. Picked up the Spidey.

That would be correct...

Where are all the clearance things now? Last time I was at target (a few months ago), the clearance section by the games was no where to be found.

[Kapwanil]

Where are all the clearance things now? Last time I was at target (a few months ago), the clearance section by the games was no where to be found.

In my Target the games change their Clearance location as per necessary when they're trying to push certain products or when they have a lot of Clearance to push off.

Generally, if it's not in a specifically marked Clearance section as per usual, check by...

A) The Discounted Video Games (ie: $9.99 or $19.99 section)
B) The Electronics Section (some are usually mixed in between speakers)
C) Some Other Random Clearance Section (my store usually has about two other unmarked sections)

A happens around here fairly often, with marked-down titles being mixed into the rest. B happens as well but it usually includes crap. C can be really hard to find but if you luck out you can find a worthwhile stack of games.

[FFMooglestar]

At Grossmont Plaza Target in San Diego, CA I picked up a Datel Max Power PSP Battery for $7.48 it was the last one. They also had Splat Renegade Paintball and Backyard Football for PC at $7.48 and Mission Impossible for PS2 at $7.48

[borg20001]

In CT, found an XBox Platinum Hits - Need For Speed Underground - red tagged for $4.98 - bought it right away.

Suggestions on C: Check back by the pharmacy/toiletries section (usually across from books) and by the office supplies and miscellaneous section (usually right next to books). In the Metro Detroit area, most of the Target stores have clearance sections there, most likely because books is where the PC games are and because it's so close to electronics anyway.

That said, I have found games on clearance in random parts of the store before. That's why I have Fire Emblem - I found it in the back corner of the store. :)

[Shoagie]

Columbus, Ohio Target on Broad Street

Cold War 1.84

whats the full name of the beef jerky?

[Shoagie]

whats the full name of the beef jerky?

it was the big bags of the slim jim brand...i dotn mind it not being great for a 1.84

[paintballers]

There was a whole bunch of beef jerky on clearance

[trunks982]

clearance.... gotta check the beef's expiration date

[YoshiFan1]

That's true, anything with an expiration date needs to be checked if it's on clearance. Not food but a while ago I bought camera film on clearance at Target. It expired 3 months ago. I of course returned it.

[addicted2games]

clearance.... gotta check the beef's expiration date
This reminds me one time at Target I found some milk on clearance..........................
just kidding! :)

[hopeunknown]

I found Megaman Anniversary Collection for $13.78 (i think) at my Target. They also had one of the DBZ Budokais, not sure which # it was.

[POG]

Target here in Jacksonville NC had 128 mb XD picture cards for 7.98. Thats pretty cheap noting they retail for around 30.

-joseph

[polly]

I was at Target yesterday, and found Ghost Recon for $4.98 and Total Overdose for $3.24, both for PS2.

[sonderiaom]

My target sucks majorly, I was watching those 256mb usbsticks and the week before they were $17.88, I figured I'd check them next week so that they'd drop in price, hopefully go down to the $4.88 that some of you had seen. I think it was tuesday of the week after that I went in kinda early and I saw that they had completely decimated the clearance section. So I checked the local goodwill 3 days later, and lo and behold, there the sticks were, for $7.99 each.

[mehunglo]

600 piece ceramic poker set (clear box) regular 49.99, clearanced 24.98.

[Technique]

I'm going to go see if they have anymore of those XBL Kits. Hopefully I can find some other cool suprises. :)

[borg20001]

Found XBox Platinum Hits - Need for Speed Underground for $4.98 last week. Just checked today and it's still $4.98. (Now that I think of it, isn't the rule that if the clearance price ends in an 8 then that's as low as she will go right?)

[Cth]

Delphi/Skyfi SA10001 SKYFi(tm) Portable Audio System

Normally $100, showing up @ buy.com for $71.. bought for $20.

This is the 'boombox' you plug your xm radio into to listen to it outside of your car.

[anotherpoorgamer]

A few posts ago you were all talking about expiration dates...does this apply to ink cartridges? I found some Epson 440 color ink cartridges that expired about a couple of months or years maybe, will the ink dry up or something? Thanks ahead.

[shieryda]

600 piece ceramic poker set (clear box) regular 49.99, clearanced 24.98.

What?! That's $10 cheaper than at the Target I checked in Chicago...

[Damian]

What?! That's $10 cheaper than at the Target I checked in Chicago...
Clearance drops aren't nationally set prices.

[Damian]

I found a Meteos still on the shelf. It had gone salavage, and they last price they were able to pull up was $7.48, so it never went lower than that.

[grungygamer]

-i snagged the last copy of Mercury for PSP for a sweet $3.74 at the Western Hills Target in Cincinnati.

[chior]

Wow, for real, That is just cheap. Hope i can get one for that price.

[daewezzy]

oh wow, i didn't know mercury was on clearance also....

[Roufuss]

That Mercury clearance is from a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, I mean, at least in the last year or so. You're lucky to have found one.

[daewezzy]

ooo so if i find a copy of Mercury, it would still ring up to $3.74?

[YoshiFan1]

It would ring up as $0.00 and out of the system. You would need to get someone with an LRT (hand held scanner) to look up the last selling price. But like Roufuss said, it's from a very old clearance so I really don't think it can be found very easily (if at all, I'd be shocked it more than 2 or 3 Targets in the entire country had any left)

[eau]

A few posts ago you were all talking about expiration dates...does this apply to ink cartridges? I found some Epson 440 color ink cartridges that expired about a couple of months or years maybe, will the ink dry up or something? Thanks ahead. I'm using a genuine HP cartridge expired a year ago on my HP printer with no problem. Not sure about Epson, but HP guarantees their cartridges for a minimum of 6 months after the 'install before' date (expiration date), and they still work way after expiration.

Worst scenario. If your expired cartridge doesn't work, Staples will give you a $3 coupon for 'recycling' it :)

[TimPV3]

Last night I saw Project Snowblind for PS2 $6.98, and GH Twisted Metal Black with online disk for $10. Not that the GH TMB is a deal or anything, it just surprised me that they still had it, and I never knew they released the online disc outside of the adaptor.

[borg20001]

Today I found XBox Lord of the Rings - Return of the King for $4.98

[Ilovephysics]

I found a Meteos still on the shelf. It had gone salavage, and they last price they were able to pull up was $7.48, so it never went lower than that.

nice. I thought they'd be long gone by now.

[Scorch]

Saw King Kong (PC) marked from $19.99 to $9.98

[grlantern42]

Those component cables have been removed from the system. The UPC thing didn't ring up and the little tag on the shelf didn't ring up. The lady goes "we must've caught the mistake."

[darkshadows6000]

PC Games on Clearance (Warren, MI - Van Dyke)
-Band of Brothers : Earned in Blood $7.48
-Dawn of War : Winter Assault $4.98
-King Kong : $4.98
-Myst V : $4.98

[YoshiFan1]

NFL Street XBox Platinum Hits, $4.98

[neudog]

Saw LOTR:RotK/NFL Street(Xbox), Madden 05(DS) and DBZ Budakai 2(PS2) for $4.98

[kdunn77]

I picked up Farcry (PC) for $9.98 in Durham, NC.

[MamoruNoHakkyou]

Question for those who know, what is Target's Raincheck policy? Are substitutions still allowed? I know some rainchecks used to say the rule about substitutions but the current ones I have only list 2 other nearby stores to check for the product. The guy I spoke to said he knew about that but was not sure if they still did that in the store. So... can anyone help me out with info? Thank you in advance.

[Josef]

I thought I heard that Mercury recently got re-released. I know that the local Best Buy just got a bunch in.

[espy605]

Arg, I wanted the Swiss 512MB drive, but they didn't have any. They only had 256MB ones and they ran up as the $30+.

Don't suppose anyone here can pick me up a spare 512?

[Roufuss]

They killed this policy due to people abusing it.

When a sale item is out of stock, my Target just substitutes something similar and advertises that instead of doing a raincheck now. By similar, I mean something like this: When Target had all those South Park sets on sale, the ones they sold out of they were substituting another Comedy Central set at the same percentage right there. I remember getting Drawn Together for $12 instead of a raincheck.

[daewezzy]

I thought I heard that Mercury recently got re-released. I know that the local Best Buy just got a bunch in.hmmm...if thats true, i better check out my targets in my area. Would it still ring up cheap?

[sterlingice]

Saw a couple of copies of Madden for the DS on the shelf for $7.48 over the weekend at the Lawrence, KS Target.

SI

[YoshiFan1]

hmmm...if thats true, i better check out my targets in my area. Would it still ring up cheap?

Probably not, Target has clearanced out games in the past and then re-stocked them from a re-release (like when a game goes Greatest Hits) at full price. I remember that happening with some PS2 games, where they were marked down to 75% off then a few months later they got in the GH versions which I think had the same UPC and were now full price.

[kkt]

This deal is definitely YMMV and may be old news to some but the Target in Minnetonka, MN has "The Suffering - Ties that Bind" red-tagged for $9.98. I checked other places including other Targets and the price is still $19.99 for this game.

[Roufuss]

Sometimes a clearance drop hits one place first and spreads out to the others.

It took the rest of my Target's about 2 months to start clearancing Dragonshard after one Target did it.

[MamoruNoHakkyou]

Thanks for the info Roufuss. I figured they had stopped doing that. I understand their logic though. I was even going to attempt to abuse it too if it was still in existance. My raincheck for The O.C. Season 2 was for 59% off and that Sex and the City: The Complete Series or The Mel Brooks Collection were looking pretty sweet. I should have gotten South Park rainchecks too... Nice break there with Drawn Together for $12 though. It would be nice if my local Target offered that option of getting a similar item as a substitute.. Oh well, not a huge loss.

[kjauburn]

Target's clearance tagging is a wierd process. I know there have been several long winded write ups online and you still walk away not knowing the answers. I know locally electronics clearance take place on mondays however regular targets seem to clearance the items before super targets around here. On top of that certain stores seem to clearance weeks earlier possibly based on volume. When the PSP game clearance hit last year I found I sort of learned the pattern locally here in the atl surburbs. I would expect its worth learning the pattern in your area with the upcoming mass markdowns expected in the fall leading up to the Wii/ps3 markdowns...

[addicted2games]

I saw 6 copies of NHL 06 for Gamecube for $7.48 today at the Destin, FL Target today.

[bassec]

My local Target (Sarasota, FL) had Dawn of War and it's expansion for $4.98, Driver 3 for $4.98, D&D Thundershard (I think that's what it's called...that was $12.98). Tons more PC games.

I saw Ghost Recon GH for PS2 for $5 as well, but VERY few console games.

They also had the reported Auto Assault and Guild Wars Factions pre-sales for $0.24.

[io]

Probably not, Target has clearanced out games in the past and then re-stocked them from a re-release (like when a game goes Greatest Hits) at full price. I remember that happening with some PS2 games, where they were marked down to 75% off then a few months later they got in the GH versions which I think had the same UPC and were now full price.

This happened with Pac-Man Fever for the GC. I got a copy 8 months ago or so for about $3. I saw them again last week and they scanned $19.99 (or maybe $14.99). But they are Player's Choice version. What I can't believe is that Pac-Man Fever sold enough copies to get a PC release :rofl:.

[YoshiFan1]

Probably because of the budget price (I think it came out at $29.99) and because Pac Man games are always popular (or so it seems)

24 Pack of Energizer AA batteries, $5.48 down from $10.98.

[Springheeled Jack]

Empire Earth 2's expansion dropped to $7.xx

[tickdude]

Picked up Dragonshard for $12.48 at the Roseville location (which was the first Target). I do live in the mecca.

[Roufuss]

This is going to sound odd, but the Target's here actually took games OFF clearance.

I know one store about a month ago had Dragonshard and Myst V on clearance... I figure at this point, they'll both be rock bottom, and I'll pick up Myst V just to complete the set since it'll probably be $4.48.

I go in, the clearance stickers have been removed, and the games are back up to full price...?

This happened at two Target's, except one Target took Myst V off clearance but marked it at $9.99 instead of $19.99.

Has this happened to anyone else?

[YoshiFan1]

That has happened before. The Gray Dual Shock 2's were $6.24 and then went back to $24.99. Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance PS2 made it to $9.98 a year or 2 ago and went back to $19.99

[Venome227]

Today at the Target in Mayfield OH got NHL for PSP for $3.74

[whiptcracker]

Bunch of clearance at various MN Targets. I've seen lots of copies of Madden '05(PS2) for $15, and a bunch of Xbox games. Downtown had Jade Empire for $4.98.

[trunks982]

Can anyone please name all the PSP games on clearance along with the price. thanks. Im wondering if theres Lumines for like $10.

[YoshiFan1]

Mercury, Gretzky NHL, Tiger Woods (last year's), Fifa (I think), Lumines. They were clearanced out last October or November so it's doubtful you will find them

[kjauburn]

Mercury, Gretzky NHL, Tiger Woods (last year's), Fifa (I think), Lumines. They were clearanced out last October or November so it's doubtful you will find them

Dark Stalkers, NBA, Dynasty Warriors, Ridge Racer, World Tour Soccer, Dead 2 Rights: Reckoning were as well. I don't think fifa was included, but I could be wrong. The tiger woods was actually called Tiger Woods PGA Tour without a year and came out near launch.

Could be others we are forgeting, but all the locations around me were out of them by end of Nov. Occasionally they start carrying the game again and it will be the original price. I notice Zoo keeper back in stock at my local target for $14.99...

[trunks982]

Mercury, Gretzky NHL, Tiger Woods (last year's), Fifa (I think), Lumines. They were clearanced out last October or November so it's doubtful you will find them

Do you know how much is Lumines?

[anotherpoorgamer]

Is the Player's Chioce Megaman Anniversary Collection for gamecube a target exclusive? I haven't seen this version anywhere else.

[kubiak]

I picked up Far Cry: Instincts (For the plain old XBox.) at a Target in Durham, NC (by Southpoint Mall) for $9.98 at lunch today.

It's actually for my brother, I don't even have an XBox.

[YoshiFan1]

Do you know how much is Lumines?

I think it went to $9.98 (sold out at $19.98 at the Target stores in my area)

[DJSteel]

ok.. I got a $15 gift card.. what is currently set as good deals at Target right now?

Yeah, saw a bunch of XBox games for $9.98. Far Cry, R6: Lockdown, Brothers in Arms @ a Target in the Chicago burbs.

the target in kendall (miami, fl) has three copies of me and my katamari for $24.98... sweet deal, too bad i have no psp.

[neudog]

Is the Player's Chioce Megaman Anniversary Collection for gamecube a target exclusive? I haven't seen this version anywhere else.

I've seen it at K-Mart.

[io]

Got a Target booklet in the mail (sort of a catalog I guess). It has a card stating $15 off a $300 purchase in electronics. It appears to have no limits and they feature the Xbox360 in the catalog. That's sort of the antithesis of "clearance", but I thought this thread was the best place to mention it.

It's not a huge savings, but if you were thinking of picking one up keep an eye out for this mailing.

[kjauburn]

I received a booklet in the mail earlier in the week as well. The card on the back was for $15 off $150 electronics purchase. In the book the ds lite was one of the items shown, but the price in the book was $149...

[Zon27]

I've seen it at K-Mart.

it should be $2 at kmart

[Tojo]

Target in Bay City, Michigan had Ride or Die for $13.98 and Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 for $9.98. Both for Xbox.

[chickenhawk]

Yeah, saw a bunch of XBox games for $9.98. Far Cry, R6: Lockdown, Brothers in Arms @ a Target in the Chicago burbs.

Thanks! I'll have to check that out for Far Cry. Was it a north or south burb?

[xbox_mole]

Target in Oaks, PA had Myst V for $9.99 for PC.

I don't believe it was a "real clearance," I think it was a "temporary price drop."

It was located on the bottom shelf in with the regular software near the magazines in the book section.

That's wierd. I couldn't find mine last night (wife had hidden it) but it is definitely $15 off $300 on mine. Not too useful, really :D.

I saw the Midway Arcade and Need For Speed for PSP at $14.98 today. I'd buy them at half that.

I got a Target book in the mail and it had a $10 off any purchase of $100 or more. So I will get a DS lite with it, maybe.

[soonerdoc]

saw new PSP games today including infected, coded arms and nba street showdown for 27.98

[sabo]

wow, apparently my target really sucks cuz none of the games i want were even remotely close to marked down. oh well guess ill print some barcodes for next time.

[asianxcore]

Our Target is out of them (tho I have an extra one that I picked up for trade a while back).

PS2 Mission Impossible: Operation Surma is $3.78 at my nearest Target. (sorry if someone already mentioned this one)

[onikage]

POP: Warrior Within is $9.98 @ the North Hills Target in Raleigh, NC. There were also some other games on clearance but POP is really the only one worth mentioning.

The Xbox version was the only one I saw.

[argyle]

Just got back from my local Target, and picked up a copy of PoP:WW for the PS2 for $13.98. I thought about leaving it & seeing if it dropped to $9.98, but I figured since I've been looking for a deal on it for so long that I'd go ahead & snag it. It's only $4 anyway. ;)

That was the only PS2 game I saw (and they had copies left). They had quite a few Xbox games, but since I don't own an Xbox I didn't pay them too much attention - I remember Farcry, and some soccer games, but I can't recall the rest.

No psp games either, unfortunately. And it looks like all the good PC games are gone - luckily, I snagged Dawn of War for $4.98 and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World for $3.48 a few weeks back.

Argyle, CML for something you might want (any of the PC games maybe?), and I'd commission you to pick up a copy of Far Cry: Instincts for me:

The pickings have been slim awhile at the local target. When I walked in today and there were 35 game cases stack on the endcap I was thinking damn going to score something today. Then I noticed it was 3 copies of 187 ride or die PS2 and 32 Freaking copies of Madden for the PS2. I believe both were $13.98...

[Mr_Franki]

Madden 2005 (a crapload, 'bout 25 copies) for $15 dollars each. I dont really like that game, but worth a mention! Burbank shopping center in IL. Chicagoland area.

[blandstalker]

Picked up PSP Infected for 19.99 at Mission Viejo, CA Target. There was only one.

They had several 187 Ride or Die on clearance.

Nothing at Aliso Viejo Target.

GC Killer 7 is 14.97, regular price now.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I'm not sure - probably whichever one is older. I didn't realize there were two!

[YoshiFan1]

It is Need For Speed Underground Rivals that is on clearance.

Also saw NBA Street PSP for $20.98

Yeah, Rivals... passed by one this morning for 14.99.

[scud2283]

I went to the target in lakewood, CA on Monday and picked up Me and My Katamari for $19.98. This is for PSP. I asked a lady that worked there for a price check and she said that the game just went down that day. Pick up the last one.

[MrNEWZ]

I'm still wondering how my Target went from 5 copies of Guitar Hero to none... [scratches head]...

[YoshiFan1]

Maybe that had a price cut to $39.99 like Beatmania?

[sabo]

price cut?? at what store target? or somewhere else because i still see 59.99 alot of places

[kjauburn]

Guitar Hero is in the Ad this week for $64 something.

[terutt]

howdy...just to restate some of the obvious here...

Electronics (e.g. video games) are marked down on Monday...so generally, if i is not there monday, no point in going back repeatedly during the week to see if something changed (which is not to say that occasionally, the department manager might not be lazy and not get around unitl Tuesday).

Generally, markdowns are "system wide" so things clearanced at one target will be so at others...generally...you will see some variation in the amount of clearance taken from time to time

Don't trust the tag...check it with a scanner

It's been my experience on games that clearances come in waves....about every 4 weeks or so, a new list of games starts to get clearanced...then the slowly get snapped up/decrease in price and they you end up with a little dry-spell. The cycles seem to be more regular these days...used to be the gap was bigger, and subsequently, when a wave did hit, it was larger. Now it seems to be more, and smaller, waves.

And when I look at the thread marked "clearance", isn't the intent to talk to things that are truly...clearanced? And not things that are in the normal Sunday ad "on sale"...yes?

There is one wild card in this...every once in a while, store-by-store, Target will do a "temporary price drop"....I guess if a certain store feels that they have too much of an item, they might whack the price for a few days. This is extrememly YMMV, and pretty perishable.

just to contribute to the thread here....have seen the following this week
PSP
Infected $20
Midway $15
NBA Street $20

PS
Madden 2005...down to $7.50 at some stores....


My best "score" on a target clearance...getting a GBA SP Retro NES version for $17 (new and sealed)....this was a real oddity as that one seemed to have been out of the store for months, and then all the sudden a stray unit showed up.

[moblin]

Genji (the original giant enemy crab game) and Rise of the Kasai were $9.99 when I was there a few days ago.

Also they had PS2 Jampacks (demo discs) for a buck or two.

[Brainwave0]

...every once in a while, store-by-store, Target will do a "temporary price drop"....I guess if a certain store feels that they have too much of an item, they might whack the price for a few days...

A temporary price drop is no different from a regular Sunday sale price drop. It just lasts for a longer period of time (2-4 weeks). They are not store-by-store, they are regional, same as the Sunday ads.

Everything else in your post is right on.

[STATIC3D]

Went to a local target tonight and saw a couple of copies of Far Cry Instincts for XBOX priced at $9.98. Since they support System Link play (which I've been getting into recently) and I had some Father's Day money left to spend, I went ahead and picked em up. :}

They also had 187 Drive or Die for $9.98 (which can be found for cheaper on ebay)...I did not pick it up...lol. About a week or so ago I saw several copies of Rainbow Six Lockdown for XBOX at $9.98 as well.

Just thought I would add these to the list/thread in case they had not been mentioned yet.

[addicted2games]

My Target had Far Cry Instincts and 187 Ride or Die for $4.98 each today. There are about 6-7 copies of each when I left.

[grivet]

I saw Still Life for the PC at $4.98 the other day, but I believe it's Starforce protected. It's a shame because it was one of the better reviewed modern adventure games.

...ok...so, other than the fact that (a) they are not advertised and (b) they don't start on Sundays and (c) they don't last a week (I have seen price drops that only last a few days...it is variable) and (d) they don't happen at all stores (I have one store have a price drop and drive 2 miles away to another target and no dice)...then yes, they are JUST LIKE a Sunday sale.....

[nevposey]

how much was beatmania normally? is it worth it?

[sonderiaom]

saw, Infected for $19.98 as well as some sports games.

[MusicNoteLess]

how much was beatmania normally? is it worth it?

Beatmania usually goes for a retail price of $59.99 with the controller.

Right now in the Milpitas/San Jose CA area they have a temporary price cut for beatmania with controller for only $39.99

And I would think it's worth it. Usually you would get the game alone for $39

[moblin]

The Jampack I bought for a dollar had the Okami demo, which alone justified the purchase...woot!

[addicted2games]

Got the last Beatmania in my store for $39.99. Now to play and suck at it. :)

Yeah, sadly the 4 BMs at my Target have not sold since the pricecut went into effect... This has sort of influenced my decision to not buy it.

[sonderiaom]

infected for 9.98 if anyone still cares. I'll prob get it if it goes to $5 just in case I ever get a psp

[ArthurDigbySellers]

I saw Drill Dozer (GBA) marked down to ~$15 when I was at my local Target on Sat. I don't follow this thread regularly so I'm not sure if it is universal. It had an actual red clearance tag on it. It was just $8.96 at the CC clearance but if you can't find it, $15 is still 1/2 price and a great bargain for a great game.

[Rictor]

I talked with the manager in the electronics department at my nearest Target and she said they rarely if ever clearance any video games. I ask a different employee every time I go and they all say the same thing. I also price check a bunch of the clearance stuff and nothing rings up on sale. I've been to 3 or 4 of the other Target stores in town and haven't found any clearance games there either. Plenty of clearance toys, board games, etc. Not sure if it's a regional thing or what. This is the only deal on CAG I can't seem to get...K-Mart, Sears, Best Buy, Blockbuster, EB. etc. sales always work for me.

[addicted2games]

Today I got Infected (PSP) for $9.98, 187 Ride or Die (Xbox) for $4.98, and the best deal, a Lexmark X2350 Copier/Scanner/Printer for $14.98! Cant beat that for an all-in-one printer. :)

Need for speed Rivals PSP game for $7.48. Target has about 10 copies.

[benjamouth]

I was just saying this as info to people that might read this thread regularly, and think it's amazing to get it for $21 when they can get it for $10.

It's worth keeping an eye on though, as we know Target will keep dropping this price if the item doesn't sell. I think the Target nearest me (Wilmington, DE) has already dropped this to $14.98, next drop will likely be $7.48. Might take a while but it's good for anyone who misses out at CC or Best Buy.

[radjago]

The Target in Miamisburg, OH, next to the Dayton Mall had a nice selection of clearance.

Xbox - 187:Ride or Die - $4.98
Xbox - Crimson Skies - $13.98
Xbox - Rainbow Six: Lockdown - $9.98
PS2 - Madden 2005 - $4.98

I can't remember any other titles off the top of my head, but there were about a dozen available in the media section clearance rack.

The Target near me started the clearance at $14.98. There were at least 8 of them, too, making it likely there will be some around to drop further.

I picked mine up at Best Buy this morning and don't regret it, though I know there are some here who want the absolute lowest price.

[gwill]

Need for speed Rivals PSP game for $7.48. Target has about 10 copies.

I saw that and picked up a copy. They also had a coded arms for 9.98. I know that games sucks but I couldn't pass it up. They also had the original FIFA for PSP for 19.98. I'll wait until that drops to 9.98 before I make the purchase. I don't have a CC around here so Target is the best I can do.

[addicted2games]

I'm probably the only one that waits for the games to be $4.98. $7.98, or $9.98 before I will buy them. If they sell before then, I dont care. But I am so spoiled by CC and Target that paying more bothers me a little. Now the bigger name games I will pay more, but I'm talking about any games that go on clearance. I will wait for further price drops.
Hi, my name is Jayson and I am a cheapass. :)

[majinvegeta-88]

picked up coded arms for psp today for $9.98 last copy

[darkwingduck13]

Friend told me he saw Drill Dozer clearanced at $14.98. Good price if you don't have any copies at your local BB or CC.

[chickenhawk]

This was actually in the clearence rack....Geist for $34.98. :roll:

My Target also had Area 51 (Xbox) for $14.99. Must just be a price drop though cause I believe clearence items always end in something other than "9", don't they?

I wish my Targets would have a PSP game or two on clearence. They never seem to have them. Hell, they still have Frantix for $19.99.

[aaandrewww]

They had about 10 at that price at my Target.

My Target price-dropped the Neopet Petpet Adventure PSP game to $19.99 (regularly $39.99).

Got a lexmark x2350 printer/scaner/copier for 25 in the St. Mathews, Louisville store.

It's okay, but it seems it's a ink hog. Anyone have this printer and know if the ink cart that came with it is a starter or regualr?

[sterlingice]

Saw a bunch of stuff on the Lawrence, KS Target clearance shelf today. The GTA double pack for XBox was there at somthing like $15 and some single games for PS2 and Gamecube (I remember Viewtiful Joe for GC, for instance) at $13.98.

SI

[asianxcore]

Novato, California

they had $14.98 copies of Drill Dozer as reported, they weren't in the usual game clearance section. all copies (maybe 5-7 of them) were all behind the glass casing in the GBA section. it was marked with a small clearance sign.

other than that, this store didn't have much in terms of video game/accessories clearance. only saw 1 copy of Sonic Heroes (GC) for $13.98 and 1 copy of Resident Evil (GC) for $13.98.

From my experience, that is Lexmark's MO. They sell printers on the cheap, to recoup the money on really expensive ink carts.

From my experience, that is Lexmark's MO. They sell printers on the cheap, to recoup the money on really expensive ink carts.

I'm pretty sure it's everyone's MO. Just about everyone (Samsung, HP, Lexmark I know for sure) provide "starter" carts in inkjet AND laserprinters.

Farcry Instincts
Rainbow six lockdown

TimeSplitters 3 for PS2 should be 13.98 at most Targets now. Not sure about the Xbox or GC versions, the store I was at didn't have either.

[trunks982]

went to my target. no tekken 5, no me and my katamari, no need for speed rivals. my target sucks.

[ctice44]

Went ro my Target yesterday they had a lot of $13.98 games mentioned (Madden 05, V-Joe, Riddick, KOTOR, Sonic Heroes, Resident Evil, etc.) , but they also had Suikoden IV for $13.98 and Sega Classics Collection for $6.98.

- Drill Dozer is (was) $8.96 at Circuit City, but you'll probably have no luck finding that one now.

No luck for me on Taiko either. I went to three different Targets, and none of them had them in stock.

[mort555]

My Target (Oshkosh, WI) had FIFA Soccer PSP ($13.98), Drill Dozer GBA ($20), Pac Man World GBA ($9.98), and tons of Ty 2 ($13.98). There were a couple other games that I can't recall at this moment.

[eau]

Finally found the $9.99 Taiko Drum Master at Target. I'm happy :)

[4tygames]

boo, my target sucks as well.

$34.98 clearance price on Geist? Not cool.

[GunstarRed]

The Rosemead, CA Target had some clearance games that I hadn't seen stickered before. None of them are deals right now, but once they drop low enough they might be worth picking up:

Mega Man Battle Network 5 Team Colonel (GBA) $13.99
The Sims: Bustin' Out (GBA) $13.98
The Urbz: Sims In The City (GBA) $13.98
Batman Begins (GBA) $13.98
Call of Duty: Finest Hour (Xbox) $13.98
ATV Off Road Fury 2 (PS2) $13.98

And as somebody else posted, Geist (GC) was clearanced at $34.98! What the hell?

They'd need to drop to less than $4.98 before I'd even consider buying anything.

[chodax]

my target was horrible. every thing pretty much overpriced

[addicted2games]

boo, my target sucks as well.

$34.98 clearance price on Geist? Not cool.
especially considering its $9.99 at Best Buy.

[bzchanboy]

Crap loads of Drill Dozers 7.48 at my local Target fresno ca

[RaidenMGS3]

Geist should be down to 24.98 now, and Gran Turismo 3 is 9.98.

[JokerCard]

Put my target under the still not low price category...

The games are still at least 20 each..

My target has drill dozer at $15.00. I'm waiting for this coming up monday to get it at $7.50.

[lurknomore]

I'm pretty sure it's everyone's MO. Just about everyone (Samsung, HP, Lexmark I know for sure) provide "starter" carts in inkjet AND laserprinters.

It's not that they provide starter carts...but they rip you off on the ink. Check out their prices. I understand that they have to charge for the printheads each and every time, but there is no reason for them to price gouge on the ink as much as they do.

[trunks982]

so is there a place to buy lexmark ink carts for cheap? im running out of black ink.

[bradisonn]

I got to office depot usually, but fry's usually has good deals

[Poopfacedoo]

Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (GC) 13.98 at the target in Sand City, CA

[eau]

Drill Dozers scanned at $20.98 at My local Target today :wall:

[Brian9824]

Are all these prices tagged on the games or did you have to scan them? Was planning to check mine out soon but without a somewhat decent list of games its gonna be a nightmare.

[jlkeeton]

Norcross GA Target had Infected for PSP for 5.04$. They still had a few copies left and it looks like the markdown should've happened long ago and they just left 'em in the case (like Geist being 24.98$ and not marked in one spot inside the case still - will watch that for a 12.48$ nab soon!!!).

[joshthegreat69]

My Target had about 50 copies of Call of Duty: Finest Hour (Xbox) for $4.99

Picked up GTA: Double Pack (Xbox)$7.48 and Incredible Hulk: UD (PS2) for $9.99

[SaraAB]

Niagara Falls, NY

about 5 copies of drill dozer gba left for 14.98 each, get them now before the store gets invaded for the weekend (i bought one because i wasnt able to get this at best buy or circuit city and 14.98 is still a very good price).

1 copy of ps2 timesplitters for like 9.98

the games are on an endcap in electronics

[rly723]

any PSP game deals for stores in the Bay Area??

[Ranger Rick]

Drill Dozer is on clearence at my CC for $14.98.

[shinro]

Man, my target is way behind schedule.... the lone copy of Drill Dozer I saw was still at $20.98...

[Rictor]

Finally found some clearance games at my Target but nothing I need:

Drill Dozer $14.96
Timesplitters: Future Perfect (GC)
Geist

And a few more that weren't worth remembering. This is the first time EVER I remember seeing clearance games at this Target or any Target in the city and I've been checking for years. Either they've never clearanced out video games before (which is what all the employees claim) or the things sell out really quickly. I'll check back next month to see if Drill Dozer got dropped further. I'd pick up a couple trade copies if it got down to $5 or something.

[Rictor]

Got a lexmark x2350 printer/scaner/copier for 25 in the St. Mathews, Louisville store.

It's okay, but it seems it's a ink hog. Anyone have this printer and know if the ink cart that came with it is a starter or regualr?

You should never have to pay for a Lexmark printer...I've had about 10 of them over the years and they were all free. I just throw them in the trash when the ink runs out since they have ridiculous ink cartridge prices.

They're almost always free after rebate during sales at Best Buy, Office Max, Staples, etc.

The other option is to buy cheap refurbished ink carts on Ebay, but those tend to ruin the printer in my experience. At least I blame the printers breaking on the cheap ink carts...it could just be the fault of the cheap printers.

[Jedi1979]

i got the lexmark for 14.98...for that price its worth it, i hate waiting for rebates that sometimes dont even show up and the printer also comes with some decent (i guess) programs

[sterlingice]

Geist down to 24.98 at the Lawrence, KS Target. How long until it drops some more? I've never quite gotten the pattern of Target clearance stuff.

SI

[JokerCard]

College Point Target had Drill Dozer for the $14.98 price.......they had three copies behind the glass......dont know if I should grab it. None of the circuit citys I checked had any left...

[eau]

When is the next expected drop on the Drill Dozer? It was $20.98 few weeks ago. Yesterday it was $14.98. Probably $9.98 next drop???

[JokerCard]

When exactly do they do the price drops?

I mean what time or day?

[kjauburn]

Don't know the exact time, but earlier in the mornings is when they do it.
Every day of the week is for different departments, electronic drop on mondays. So if you really have your eye on something I would give it a short monday morning sometime.

Markdowns seem to be scattered among stores up to 4 weeks apart. I don't know what determines the store markdown schedule maybe volume. I have found overtime the order of the stores in my area and super targets always seem to be the last to markdown items. There are alot of fat wallet people who keep up with target markdowns on a regular basis.

[JokerCard]

Thanks for the info, looks like ill have to look out for that Drill Dozer markdown tomorrow :)

[DeathMoJo]

just a heads up to people looking for clearance games and the such, Targets have started doing inventory, so stuff not in locations in the back, that are now in location, will be flagged by the system to be pulled for clearance. So keep an eye out for games coming out.

[munch]

The clearance for electronics takes place on Mondays. Is that not in the OP?

[4tygames]

I picked up Timesplitters: Future Perfect for the Playstation 2 and would like to trade for the GameCube version. Just PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

Roger that. I went into a Target yesterday, and the Dept guy told me that they had him pull a bunch of games into the back for clearance. This is sort of an oddity...typically they just go around and if they are on clearance, they mark them on the spot and put them right back out on an endcap. Could me a mother of all clearances coming up.

So, the "Monday" rule might not hold up...they might be pulling stuff back...going through, marking things and then will roll them back out this week at some random time. I can remember I hit the local Target here about a year ago and all kinds of weird stuff came out of the back...GB advance packs with the e-readers showed up for $20...and they put them out Saturday. Then I hit another target and they had drug out a GB SP retro nintendo version that was down to $17. So, when inventory happens, all sorts of strange stuff shows up.

And currently, there seems to be a real mixed bag at targets for what clearance games are currently out...different games at different stores...so if you have some around you, might be worth while to troll around a little...

[tolonen]

Do you have the 12-digit UPC number for the 12+1 Month card? Can you let us know what it is? Thanks!

Damn, I'd like to pick up an SP, I only have a regular GBA.

[topnotch97]

it was so freakin hot today, but the Target that i've been to has stuff priced as regular.

but hey, i like shopping at Target, especially when you see a ton of cute Filipina girls working in there. LOL :D

[GunstarRed]
