None of the BBVs I've bought BD's at carried the blue cases. But all of them were glad to give me a few PS3 cases. If you have a CD Warehouse nearby, they sell blue cases for $1/each.

I picked up Mario Super Sluggers complete over the weekend at BB for $9.99 used. After playing the game for awhile (it's mediocre at best), I decided it would be better served as trade in bait for Gamecrazy so I could get Punchout instead.

My local BB still has plenty of Mario Super Sluggers in stock, so I might be looking at the Trade 2 deals at GS as the game is on the list as an eligible game. New SMB Wii looks good for $30 (as long as I can trade 2 of the same title to GS that is....)

quick question guys, whats the current price for a game rental at bb. Havent been there in years

Non recent releases can be had for $1.99 per night, while I believe the week or so rental is still in the $8-9 range.

You can get one night rentals?? The only thing posted on the price board is the 5-day rental for $8.99 (or 7.99, I forget exactly). A one night rental would be an ideal way to test out a game for cheap. But they exclude new releases from that? How do they differentiate what is and isn't "new?" Thanks!

My local BBV rents games at $8.99 for 5 days. Although you can rent two games for $15 for 5 days.

This may be available near you--

I found it at: Omaha, Nebraska: 96th and Q:
9.99 non-title specific packages are 20% off also

I used to work for Blockbuster-- these packages are used games that are all assigned the same part number, regardless of title. Because of this, their pricepoint is usually above or below their real value. I stopped into this store yesterday and picked up 2 copies of Fallout 3, COD4, and Saints Row 2, all for $8 a piece. I then went to Gamestop, which takes games as trade-ins even with no cover art or manual. All 3 of those games are on the list for Gamestop's "trade 2 of these titles and get $40 off a presale title". Since I can only trade 1 copy of a title per day at gamestop, I did 2 of them yesterday, & I'll do it again a couple times. All that to say, either cheap games at only $8 a piece, or spend $16 at Blockbuster and get $40 worth of trade at Gamestop. (The 20% off may not be available at all stores--this store is closing.)

Hope there is a store near you that carries these. You can call in and say "Could you stat a part number for me?" and give them the part numbers-- they also should be able to tell you if other stores in the area have that part number in stock. You'll have to go to the store in person to see what titles are available. The 2 part numbers I know of are 275837 and 241932. The titles I saw yesterday were:

Fallout 3
COD4
Saints Row 2
Far Cry 2
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Bourne Conspiracy
Fear 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Devil May Cry 4
Prince of Persia
Soul Calibur 4
Grand Theft Auto 4
Guitar Hero World Tour
Guitar Hero 3
Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Madden 09
Mercanaries 2
Dark Sector
Turok
Spiderman 3
Spiderman: Web of Shadows
Battlefield: Bad Company
Jumper
Crackdown
Bioshock
Tombraider Anniversary
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Earth Defense Force 2017

Looking thru the holiday guide there doesn't appear to be a b1g1 anytime before the end of the year. Of course that could change but they list all the different promotions we have going on from week to week and there was no mention of it at all.

I believe they had a DVD sale that started on Black Friday last year, but I'm not sure about a B1G1 for games.

Found a goldmine at my local BBV. They had the new $9.99 POGS. Call of Duty: World at War, GTA4, Fear and so on. Picked up World at War.

Bah, that sucks...

My store had a bunch picked up

Watchmen $9
Hannah Montana $9 (4 the kids, not me)
Motorstorm PR $24

tried to talk them into B2g1, but nogo.

Anyone know why my region of the country (South Florida) does not get these generic games in ever? Everyone within 70-100 miles of my location did not see these at their stores while people in other parts of the state and from pretty much every area of the country seems to get these $9.99 games in. This is the same every time Blockbuster has one of these sales.

They rarely have these at my local stores too, Rozz. I don't know if it's just that people grab the crap outta the POG's or not. But I find more than enough deals to make up for missing out on some disc only trade fodder, which is the only thing I'd probably use these games for anyway since I'm anal retentive and like disc, artwork and manual plus an original PS3 case.

In my district the same 4 stores are the only ones to ever get prepacks in for some reason. I don't know why this is or if this trend is anywhere else but 2 busy stores, 1 moderate store and 1 low volume store always get these in and nobody else in the district does.
