Bought a copy of Band Hero (full bundle) for the Nintendo DS, got it for $12.48.

But now that I look into it these may be different from the ones you bought as I think your Smokin Buds come with a volume control on the wire right? I've seen reviews where they preferred the ink d brand by Skullcandy for comfort and sound. Just FYI.

They are different pretty much like you said, smokin have a volume control, possibly a built in mic too. I have a pair of ink'd already. The smokin are a bit better, but I don't know how they are worth twice as much retail. I'll keep both pairs though, one for under my motorcycle helmet, the other for normal use.

I'm hoping that one of the stores (like maybe Target) will have a $10 gift card with it's purchase the first week. I'm also considering just holding off till it's cheap even though I want to get it when it's out in a couple months. WWIATCG do?

I would wait until the next glitch/discount error at Gamestop and see if the discounts apply to it. There's very few games that're worth MSRP to me anymore. I think my cheapness has become worse since I joined CAG, especially since I know I usually can find games even cheaper if I just wait.

The other monitor's(replacement for the one with HDMI I have)DPCI is 080-00-1049, if I remember correctly. It has no HDMI port, but does have a DVI w/HDCP port on it, which means you can use a $5 adapter from NewEgg to make it into an HDMI port. Both are on the Target website and both are listed as being sold ONLY in stores. But if they tell you the item is out of the system, ask for a manager and see if you can sweet talk them into selling you the out of system item at the last price. The most they can say is no.

Well I went back today and found that they had replaced the $40 clearanced monitor with the newer one you mentioned. I asked if they had the $40 monitor in the back somewhere and she just flat out said no. Big fail. :(

Yea, I knew it was 'something' essentials just couldn't recall offhand.

Only things left are the computer desks. Video game clearance is still dry, dry, dry.

Here are a couple photos, but I do agree that these are going fast. I would pick them up for $14.xx as the stores I hit today already had the new shelves out.



These are the ones on clearance. I saw this one at Goodwill. Have to love when they mark up something like this from Target to $10 over what the original retail price is.



This is what the new boxes look like.

Was it the manager you talked to or just someone in electronics? If it was just some shmoe in electronics, then I would've gone up to customer service and asked for the manager.

Saw some three shelf bookshelves for $5, and despite that, can't think of a place to put or use them. Otherwise, good deal.

Also saw Final Fantasy I PSP for $3.74 and Crisis Core Greatest Hits PSP for $4.98. Ended up passing on both.

I saw four boxes of Wii Speak in the clearance end cap knocked down from near $30 to below $21. But if you really want Wii Speak, look for the Animal Crossing:City Folk bundle or the Endless Ocean: Blue World bundle.

They were $7.48 around here, and lasted even at that price for a good while, so you should be able to get better prices in the coming weeks. I think AC bundles are long gone, but EO bundles are definitely still around.

Just adding small bit of info.

I'm not sure you can compare FF13 to Starcraft 2 ... sure Final Fantasy used to command big fanfare back in the PS1 era and somewhat in the PS2 era but it's definitely in a state of decline as far as franchises go. Not to mention the mixed reviews and reception of 13. I think alot of retailers saw that and started trying to entice people ... but imho I really don't see Starcraft 2 getting massive discounts at launch.

Ah, another Target thread already. I should really browse through the other sections of Target for their other clearance items, their men's section occasionally has some ok stuff too.

how come some games just dissapear from the video games section???

i was looking for motorstorm AE, dragons age, resident evil 5, PS3 EYE CAMERA, and nothing around any of my local targets (3 different targets)

ps3 eye camera - theres something about these cameras (with the PS motion controller coming out), ive been searching walmart, target, kmart, TRU, (BB has it at full price) trying to find it on clearance, kmart HAD it for 1.99 but OOS, but no one has any in stock, what gives????

do stores really just take products off shelves just so no one can buy them????

Picked up a Logitech 720 remote today for $37.48 in Richmond, Va. Haven't used a universal remote before but will be excited if it works as well as everyone says.

I found an "AS IS" $2.56 price sticker on a new Iron Man 2 CONCEPT SERIES, ARMOR TECH, SHOCKWAVE MISSION figure. Originally $9.99. Don't know if there was a problem with this one or not. They blotted out the barcode and sku'd the price tag.988030870004989552 is what it read.

Thanks for the pictures of the bookcases. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any of them. :(

missed out on some great clearance games at target in west co. they had 7.98 007 Quantum of Solace, Dirt 2 14.98, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen 7.98, Fall out 3 7.98, Star Wars Unleashed 4.98.. Gears 2 7.98, IL-Sturmovik 7.98, Fall out 3 7.98, and a few others. Totally wished i had stopped by when they had Dirt 2 on clearance. Asked the worker to check for games and was told they won't be getting any more in as they were clearance items.

On clearance rack I saw Friends Trivia 2.98, Lego Batman 4.98, Lego Indian Jones 4.98, Motorstorm artic 7.98, Bigs 2 7.98, cabela outdoor adventure 7.98, star trek (price forgot). ps3 component cable 5.98, ps2/xbox composite 5.98, ps2 composite 5.98, ps2 silver controller 6.98.

Actually that's not true. While the game has gotten mixed reviews, it was never expected to do poorly. As a matter of fact, it was extremely successful. It sold faster than any other final fantasy game in history. It sold a million copies in only five days.

It may just be that someone came along right as the games/items were put on clearance or they just forgot to put them back on the shelf after pulling them.

If your store is one of the ones redoing their electronics section with the new plastic prison setup, then perhaps they moved all of them to the back to accomodate the revamp. You could try asking about particular items you're interested in.

I think Sears may have the PS Eye on clearance there. Someone found it marked $11.97 there. But there's only been ONE reported sighting of it for that price.
