Found a new copy of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for $7.97. That was our first good find since Punch Out for the Wii for less than $15. Our Sears clearance used to be organized games, but is now a giant bin for rooting through.

when's the next drop?

New month. Should be a drop soon if not already.

Almost certainly this Friday...

Is it always the first Friday of the month? I was planning on visiting this Friday coincidentally. Would help if the prices drop that same day

Kind of hard to word, but its usually the Friday where there is an entire week of days in the same month. Since Friday 7/1 had June days in the same week, there was no drop. This week is the first week of all July days, so the drop will be this Friday.

I see. I'll have to keep that in mind. Hoping this week has some more significant drops.

I work this Friday, so I'll see if anything crops up at our store.

And to those discouraged by the tags not matching reported clearance prices, I highly recommend you take them to a price checker/associate to be scanned if you haven't already. I'm aware that there tends to be some discrepancies between stores, but one thing in particular I've noticed is that associates aren't taking the time to update the tags on these games from past markdowns.

Anyway, here's hoping. >_>

People are talking about the games with a sticker over the upc with another upc (on the sticker) making it not ring up at clearance price. I've seen it before a year or 2 ago.

Do other departments drop on Friday too?

I saw plenty of JUL stickers yesterday, but it was all new stuff, mostly crap DS games at $15. The stuff from the last few months didn't seem to have changed, but I didn't really have time to get price checks.

Yeah, those suck. Unfortunately there's not a whole lot associates can do in that case unless they have the authority to remove the stickers themselves.

As for Friday's update, there aren't too many notable additions aside from some markdowns on current clearance titles. Seems like they're really pushing to get these out the door.

Good! There were quite a few clearance games last time I was in Sears that I told myself I would buy "if they just drop one more time".
Let's see what Friday brings.

Interesting note, I was returning Wii Punchout that I had bought for $13.97 (I got a cheaper used version at Blockbuster's sale this weekend) and as I was waiting in line, I scanned the upc of the game for the heck of it and it was showing up as $49.99. My receipt showed the clearance price I paid $13.97 so maybe this was because I was at a different store from where I purchased it? I bought it in Waterbury, CT and returned it at the Danbury CT Sears B&M.

Fine by me. I saw quite a few things that would be a buy with a price drop. I'll also have to check out the Sears at the mall and check out their selection.

Thanks for the info as always.

According to Google shopping and the random clearance games I just checked there are no price drops yet to report. Maybe tomorrow...

Price drops are effective starting Friday. I'll have the updated list posted then.

Woot! You the man!

Great, I'm hoping some of the games that dropped $1 like from $14.97 to $13.97 last month dropped more than that this month.

This will finally be the month I pick up Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection.
