I have $30 left on my VC, and I think I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm going to pick up a new copy of Boomblox. If a B1G1 comes along or BBV goes under and has a huge liquidation sale, I still have some free cash I've earned from doing online surveys.

Just bought Boom Blox for $27.99.

Yep, had them ring it up and everything... still no go.. All the ones that they had at the different stores were still tagged at $60. Maybe that has something to do with which stores are $12.99 and which are $20.99

Assassin's Creed was 12.99 at the Blockbuster/Gamerush I was at...Nearly went for a copy of it for the PS3...

This wasn't one of those disc only sale games was it? Can anyone else confirm that GTA is 9.99?

I think it was a disc-only copy.

Marked that way?

I went in tonight and asked the clerk to look it up for me - it was $20.99 new for the PS3 version. This guy is a former GR worker so he knows what he's doing. It is $20.99 unless it is mismarked.

This store is usually pretty good about being on top of price drops. They usually get them marked the morning they drop. As such I was very surprised to see that there has been virtually no movement in any of the new game "clearance" prices in 3-4 months now. I expected them to keep dropping those until they got rid of them.

Some interesting things to note, when I traded in RR(PS3), the receipt printed out a coupon for any new rental release for $1.95, picked up Slumdog Millionaire on DVD(Blu-Ray excluded). Also, I saw that GTA IV Special Edition is $57.99...worth checking into for those sitting on cheap credit.

Thanks. Like yours, mine was just a few dollars and may not be worth the trouble, but there are still a few Hollywood Videos around so I may just look into it to get my rental back.

I picked up GTA IV SE last year for $22. Target clearanced them out before Christmas and had a ton. Its alright, but if you are looking to buy the game I would get a used copy and save $40 or so.

FWIW, I picked up a 360 copy a couple days ago for $12.99 and it was still marked $27.99.

Picked up the 360 Creed for 12.99 new. It was in a generic BB box but the tag said new 12.99 but rang up 20.99. The clerk had to override to adjust the price.

Converted my credit to XBOX Live points, it's an easy non committal decision

Now, do I buy Galactix on XBLA, or wait for the next round of Fable DLC ...

I found a preplayed version of Professor Layton and the Curious Village DS for $10. $27 at GS so I figured it was a good deal and heard good things about it.

BTW how can I remove the BBV sticker on the front if I want to trade it in?

Peel it off?

BBV stickers are generally a pain in the ass to remove. Just remove as much as you can without going crazy and leave it like that. Or go buy goo-gone. That shit works miracles.

BBV stickers peel off best when they're cold. Stick the case in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes or so and then peel it off in one quick rip.

Uh, not unless these just dropped today and we get confirmation. I just posted yesterday that I verified Assassin's Creed for PS3 at $20.99. They usually adjust prices on Sunday so that it seems unlikely. Did they actually ring up this way or did they have to adjust them per some manager's special (or was this a franchise store)?

Had traded in GH III when I got Rock Band. Might have to pick it back up for $5.

$20 is also great for those who don't already have GRID.

You don't have to peel it off. Get some goo gone or rubbing alcohol on it-- takes the print on the sticker right off.
