Where are all of the Kansas CAGs?

I picked up Advent Children Bluray at Best Buy for $14.99. The only deal worths mention. Otherwise there is no good deal in a long time.

tech n9ne!

How random, anyone around Wichita know of any places with grand 'ol deals?

Finally, another Wichita CAG.

Most of the posters in this thread have been located in the NE part of the state, so a lot of the finds don't apply to us. (Why, oh why, can't Wichita have a Microcenter?)

I have a tough time finding anything in Wichita beyond national deals at big-box retailers like BB. The Kmart on Kellogg used to be a gold mine for great clearances, but they've since moved almost everything in their glass case. And the selection has since been picked over.

Other than that, with the closing of Circuit City, we've pretty much lost out on a lot of good local stuff. Most of my good finds lately have been limited to online deals and trades. Sometimes I do get lucky at Toys 'R Us, though.

Hi guys. Wichita/Hutchinson CAG here!

I live in KCMO, but I travel to Wichita every other week for work.

CD Tradepost is a great place to find some steals on used games. They have great deals, sales, and staff. The one on Central and Ridge (in the Gordman's parking lot) is the best one in the city.

You can also check their website www.cdtradepost.com to see what the stores have in stock.

For new games, you may have to stick with the big box retailers.

I didn't know that cd trade post had a website that you could use to check inventory. I am a little concerned that it knows my location without me having to type in my zip.

But yeah, I second everyone else's thoughts on lack of deals in Wichita. If only TJ Maxx sold old video games too....

I live north of the river in KC and usually check out the stores between Liberty and Zona Rosa. I haven't found much worth mentioning for several months.

I haven't found much worth mentioning for several months.

I live down in OP and work in south KC, so I'm checking all over this end of the metro all the time.

Just hasn't been anything good in a long time.

I hear ya, the best deal I've gotten in months wasn't even game related. I found a Belkin HDTV kit on clearance down from $40 for $9.98 at Target. It came with (2) HDMI cables and some sort of electronics cleaning spray w/ cloth.

I'll see some games go on clearance at Target that I wouldn't mind having but lately they don't last past the first drop with is usually a less than impressive 15% off.

I did just think of something worth mentioning.

I'm not sure if you guys up in the north end of the metro have any GAMECOs, but it might be worth checking into if you want an early copy of Halo: Reach.

3 years ago for the launch of Halo 3 the GAMECOs in OP and Olathe broke street date a day early but were charging a $10 kicker to pick it up (so $69.99).

Not sure if they're doing it with Reach, or if $10 extra for an early copy is worth it to most, but just something to keep in mind.

They offered up the same deal for me for a few titles so I bet they'll do it again. Although paying $10 for getting it a day early seems like a bit much for me.

That sounds illegal to me, at the very least dishonest. I've purchased some reasonably good games for $10 so it is definitely not worth it to me.

I also haven't seen many deals around lately but then again I've kind of given up on shopping at B&M stores. The internet is so much more convenient

The GAMECO outside of the mall in OP is going out of business at the end of this month. There prices were absolutely absurd, so this isn't some big surprise or anything.

Do you know if they are doing any sales to get rid of the games? And are you talking about that one by Babies/TRU? Cause if it is, I'm not shocked. They had a lousy selection and bad prices. Only Gameco I think is left is the one in the Great Mall.

I'm on board with you two, that companies business strategy has always been terrible. Other than Olathe there's one down in Pittsburg KS. Wonder how long they will last.

On some actual deal related news, I picked up a cherry used copy of Crackdown 2 at the Olathe Half Price Books last night for $20.
There was a good looking copy of Read Dead Redemption for 360 for $30, and a pretty decent looking Alan Wake CE for $44 when I left if anyone's interested.

Ha. I was there the other day and saw all three of those. Almost bought the Crackdown 2 but decided not to because I didn't really care for the demo.

Wow that's a pretty solid deal! I'm going to have to give Half Price Books a look more often.
