They're back (at least at my local store, don't know if it's at all locations but they were sent copies from the central office -as opposed to selling off the local surplus rental copies). My local store got three boxes worth of solely 360 games without the original game cases. They weren't put on the shelves as of yet, but they were all labelled and getting ready to do so. Had some cool people that worked there that gave me a look at the games while they were still available. Was able to buy Call of Duty : World at War. They also had Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1, Gears of War 2, Grid, Saints Row 2, 1 copy of Left 4 Dead. Quite a number of other titles that I can't remember offhand as I wasn't interested in them. Just might go back to get a few copies of other games I can use for flipping.

So they're selling just the game discs without the case/manual?

I don't usually like getting games without cases, but this seems like a really good deal. I'll swing by Blockbuster tomorrow and see if anything's going down in the North Bay.

While cases or manuals are not included, I asked if I could get an empty original case (with the manual) from their rental shelf for the game I bought today. They gave it to me free. They did this for me a couple times previously, I guess it depends on who's behind the counter.
Also, another thing with these games if you've bought them before- you'll already be aware of it, the games have all been professionally resurfaced so they're usually in great condition.

Where is the store you're talking about, OP? That might help us determine if it's a one-off thing, regional, or national.

The idea of cheap CoD and L4D is really appealing.

hmm been a long time but I think you just got me popping my head into a local Blockbuster or two

Think I'm going to stop by my BB on the way home now *just* in case mine has similar deals. Thanks OP!

Pretty sure there is already a thread that covers this topic

belongs in the blockbuster thread. (can be found next to the circuit city and linens 'n things threads)

Damn, another great opportunity for flips! O_O CoD: WaW and L4D trade in at $15 at GS, and MW1 trades in for $13.75. Not much of a gap, but if you take advantage of the "Trade 6 get 40/50% more (with Edge) Deal" going on right now, you'll be ROLLING in it. I REALLY hope my BB is doing this- because if they are, I've already got all 6 games I'm going to flip decided. :P

Can someone post the sku for the clear case games?

...which hasn't been posted in in three days and doesn't make any mention of this.

Got a link? I didn't see anything at first glance, and as stated the general thread didn't make mention of this.

If the deal is good enough, then it warrants its own thread outside of the general one. I'd argue this is one of those times.

Might have to check this out tomorrow after I get home

Has anyone been there, and had success with this in their areas besides the OP? I have REALLY built my hopes up for this... XP

If this is a corporate store then x360 prepacks are $6.99 and the part number is 241932 unless they've come up with a new part number. I will be able to check tomorrow. Could be a new part number if they are $9.99 and some newer titles. In the previous prepacks I didn't hear or see any gears 2 or cod world at war. The last set of prepacks were few and far between so it's probably a very ymmv.

I think this should go to the Bbv thread since it's been discussed there every other time.

No BB's in North Colorado Springs are doing this, they havent even heard of this sale.

Was COD Modern Warfare for the 360 or ps3 that you found it to be 9.99?

Good luck with this one. I posted a clear disc deal one time that helped out a TON of people and the Blockbuster Thread police came out in full force.

I know it's probably a lost cause, but I've become sick of that argument over time, mostly because it's hard to distinguish what "should" be in the thread. My rule of thumb has been the general threads are for ongoing things like clearance and trade-in values, but even then there are exceptions.

If this was in the Blockbuster thread, I'd wager that upwards of 90% of the people who read the forum wouldn't see it, because they don't look at that one thread...because from my experience, Blockbuster usually doesn't run sales like this (and from looking at the Blockbuster thread, it doesn't look like they've done one recently). We don't need threads for every individual deal or sale, but if we're going by the logic that this has to be in the Blockbuster thread just because it's at Blockbuster, then this entire forum should just be a collection of giant threads with one dedicated to every retail store or website.

People are too uptight about where the threads go. Lumping actual deals into general threads just results in decreased visibility, and I'm not sure how that's a good thing.

In reply to some of the posts above, I got Call of Duty World at War for the 360. The label on the box is "X360-Prepack POG w/o Cover Art" SKU is 44-26062-275837-2.
The store I frequent is in Port Huron Michigan. When I was there earlier, there were maybe five copies each of Call of Duty World at War and Modern Warfare 1. I think these will be the first to go, then maybe Gears of War 2.

I might pick up a few more games that are on Gamestop's list which I can use for Trade 2 get a new game for $19.99 as GS doesn't require an original case or manual for the trades.

I believe my local store just got the boxes of games shipped to them yesterday- so I would probably ask your local store if they received a box of used games recently. Being that I live in Port Huron Michigan, which isn't a major city here, I doubt if corporate would send a box of these games solely to this location.
