Jeez, no kidding! I just found one the other day at an out of town Wal-Mart; I was ecstatic to get it for $15! (probably would have only gone as much as $25-30 anyway, since it's just going on a shelf).

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.

Something similar happened to me at Gamestop. I'm actually still confused as to the logic behind it buy it got $10 free so I'm not complaining. I bought a couple games online and had to exchange them in-store since they were scratched up and not working.

Well the employee said that was a $10 difference because the games are now on sale... I was like what, I bought them when they were on sale too, this is just a straight exchange anyway. Obviously I was assuming he was trying to get me to PAY the difference. He said nope, you GET $10 back. I tried to explain one more time I had bought them for the same price anyway, and either way it's JUST an exchange...I'm literally just swapping out the disc. He insisted I got $10 so I didn't argue it further.

Hey is secret agent clank and daxter for psp on clearance by any chance ?

Check your local Sears with http://www.google.com/prdhp?hl=en&tab=ff
Mine ran out of stock on Secret Agent Clank before any clearance could occur, it shows OOS at $19.99. My Sears currently has stock on Daxter at $19.99. My recommendation: pick up the dual pack, since you get both games for $15 msrp. They're both good games, and well worth the $7.50 each.

That's nice that you got a $10 bonus at their insistence. I thought the girl at Sears was going to do something like that because when she scanned my returned game upc she looked at the register readout with a confused look and then looked at my receipt twice. I was hoping, oh maybe she'll refund me $49.99 instead of my $13.97 but such was not the case.

When I do a google search for Punch Out for Wii around Danbury, I get it showing up at the Sears I returned it to in Limited Stock and at $49.99 but at other nearby Sears, it shows Out of Stock but the price is $13.97. So this Sears in Danbury must have moved on with their clearance pricing I guess.

Funny it shows up at my local Blockbuster with Limited Stock at $14.99 price (but I already bought it from there during the 4th of July sale so I think that listing is not up to date).

It's friday, friday, gotta get down on friday!

My store is out of most of their clearance bin since they actually dropped the prices. I'm hoping Phantom Hourglass is still there and it dropped. I have about $12 in SYWR so if it drops to $10 I'd get it for free.

picked up 2 x Mercury Meltdown Revolution for Wii for $.97 each yesterday. Also had Twilight Princess (non greatest hits version) there for $12.97 but I passed on that. The kid had a confused look on his face when he scanned them and came up at that price on the first game. He scanned the other one and it came up at $14.97. He then overrode both games to $4.97, the clearance price on the first cover. When I asked him about the $.97 scan, he then just voided the sale, and scanned the first game at $.97 twice. Oh yeah, found Patapon 2 also for $.97

I got:
ratchet and clank a crack in time for 5.97
Prof Layton and curious village for 5.97
Dragon quest 4 for 5.97
Zelda and the phantom hour glass for 7.97
There was a bunch of other stuff that came down in price that I passed on including dRk void that is 3.97 but that game is garbage so it is still too high

Nice!

I picked up:

Ratchet and Clank a Crack in Time for $5.97
Mirrors Edge for $3.97

Brutal Legend was $1.97, but I got it for $3.97 last month.

My google shopping says that my prices stayed the same. Can't win them all huh.

Hey, google shopping still shows 3.97 at my store but in store it scans as 1.97 so google shopping probably didnt update yet. Go get it if you want it. I didn't buy it because I beat it a year ago when I got it on clearance at target for five bucks. Plus the employee that was scanning games for me is a 20 something gamer and told me he never played it so I left it there for him.

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but how do you use Google shopping to see the price of an item at your local Sears? I often have problems finding people in the video game section, so it'd be a lot easier if I can just find the price before I head out

My haul for the day
PS3
Socom Bundle - 9.97
Prototype - 5.97
Wii
Fire Emblem x 2 - 9.97
Zelda TP - 9.97

Very happy with the haul, may have to go back and try to find Ratchet & Clank
