how much do you get at GS for it...

FYI... Every Target store is given weeks of time to begin clearance of items. In other words, corporate states "All These Sku's Are To Be Clearanced". When store area floor managers get to it... they get to it. Further markdowns can take 1-3 weeks. You can go to one store and see this item for say $35 (1st clearance) yet another store has it for $25 etc. We have 6 Target stores within 20 miles (which is nice!) and I see this all the time. I can go to one, things are $7.48, over at this other one, $4.98 and sometimes even $2.48!

However... It does seem that now Target Employee's either A. Snipe up ALOT of it themselves or B. Inform friends (whatall) and they snipe em' up.

Last night's haul:
TDK MiniDV tapes - 2x60 min - $4.48
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (PC) - $7.48

They also had a bunch of cheapo childrens games on clearance. There was a Finding Nemo/The Incredibles 3 pack for $4.98, among other titles.

I didn't peruse the remaining items too closely, but I'm pretty sure about these:
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (PC) - $9.98
Left Behind (PC) - 7.48

I'm not sure if this is a trend, but my local Targets seem to be devoting fewer endcaps to clearance merchandise. More and more red-tagged items are being stocked in the aisles.

XBOX 360 PELICAN TSZ WIRED CONTROLLER $20.98 at my local Target (4 left). It'll be drop down $15 monday next week and $7.48 in another weeks.

I picked up Sudoku Grid Master for $4.98 at the Target in Clackamas, Oregon on Tuesday. It wasn't marked but it was on the clearance endcap. I scanned it and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't look to see if there were any more in the case.

Has anyone seen the official Wavebird controller for any cheaper than $20.98? I want to get it, but $20.98 is a little high, and if they got low enough, I would buy both of them. These seem to have been at my Target like forever. Any advice?

And I also see much more stuff being clearanced in the aisles as opposed endcaps. Most of these things are accessories however.

I would have bought them at $20.98 if I saw them on clearance, and evidently that's what people did since I saw them one week...read here that they were put on clearance...went back a day or two later, and all wavebirds were gone from every store I went to.

i got thet last wavebird at my target for 14.98 and i saw a wireless pelican ps2 controller for 15 as well as a 2pack of wireless ps2 controllers for 30 (but that one wasnt on sale yet)

I've been looking for the Wavebird but couldn't find it.

Found about 4 old Xbox Live 12 month subscription cards for $24.98 at the Target in Bowie, MD off Route 301. I picked up one so there should be 3 left.

Mark of Chaos (PC) was still $24.98 at this store.

I noticed with this console stuff, but nobody here ever touches the PC stuff... I only know of one other CAG in the area who buys it, and it seems none of the employees are ever interested.

I'm going to echo what someone else said about the clearance distribution at Target. I know mine has kind of kept the video game clearance stuff more with the rest of the merchandise and those end cap displays are becoming more often general electronics stuff (those stupid ipod accessories, random DVD players, etc.).

I guess I would say make sure you check the video game main section too for clearance stuff, it seems like accessories especially are increasingly left there with red tags. I know the red tagged Zelda messenger bag that has been at my Target for a couple weeks got moved from the end cap back into the video game section to be near the other accessories (no further price drop though this week, crap on that).

University Target in Charlotte has around 10 blue Dual Shock 2's for $12.48, 50% off, and 3 or 4 green Dual Shock 2's for $17.48, I assume 30% off.

I just got back from Target and saw the PSP Playgear Pocket in the clearance section for $10.48. They also had Fight Night Round 2 and NFL Head Coach for the PS@ at $9.99 each.

These are NOT clearance, just 'Temporary Price Reductions'. I *think* they end on May 5, but I'm not 100% on the end date.

Have Kameo and DOAX2 dropped to $4.xx and $7.xx respectively yet?

Yeah I saw those PSP Playgear Pockets for $10.50, kinda sucks I bought a used one for pretty much the same price last week and it's all scratched up =\

The 360 Messenger Bag (the one with the E3 faceplate color scheme) was marked down 50% off to $25 at the Target in Fenton, MO (suburb of St. Louis.) Great deal for anyone looking for a bag for their 360 since every other store still has this item at $46-$50.

The lowest Kameo could go is $7.50. That's 75% off $30.
