It seems my local sears has been wipe-out cleaned of clearance games.

Anyway, my sears has the sandisk 2gig pro duo stick for $.97 cent. YMMV though. Grabbed the last 3 for my PSP.

HUGE update on clearance prices today. Nothing that great, but a lot of games I wasn't expecting. Gears of War 3, SSBB, Star Fox 64 3DS.

What were the prices?

Of course, SSBB & GoW3 dropped off the Google locator. I know at least 2 stores in my area have them.

Lol right after I bought it for $25 on eBay

Curious about SSBB though

39.97 for gow3 and ssbb and 34.97 for star fox according to google.

It looks like a new big clearance cycle has begun - google shows stuff like Homefront, LA Noire, Dead Space 2 etc priced at $25-$30. Obviously any CAG who knows what he's doing will have been able to get this stuff for far less, but by summertime these should be hitting the $5-$10 range.

Unfortunately the old cycle games didn't drop in price, but it is nice to see new games enter clearance. Hopefully these ones don't get stuck at the $19.97 mark like the older cycle.

I'm not sure if this has ever been address but actually all these clearance prices are from markdowns that come from someone higher up (possibly someone in corporate). I work at Sears specifically electronics. We get markdowns from the PCN (Price Change Notification) network. These price changes consist of either markups or markdowns including lowered prices, clearance prices, and zero-ed out items. In the network they send out a list of different divisions that will get a price change at our store. Usually they send these lists about 2 weeks in advance. The network also keeps a record of PCNs for several weeks till they disappear ( I think for at least 2 weeks). The network also keeps records for every Sears store, so I can actually look up any store and know what will go on clearance.

Here in Houston we just had a HUGE markdown on games and accessories. My list for division 58 (video games) was 545 video games and accessories. This counting for every game of each title so I'm sure there's 40+ titles going on clearance on different platforms. I'm not sure if this is the same everywhere else but I can confirm at least the Houston area.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been keeping a close watch on that game since it hit the clearance cycle last year. I'll have to check my Sears tomorrow to see if they marked it down too. With any luck, Animal Crossing: Wild World will have hit a similar price.

Np! i also scanned Last Spector and it was $24.97.

Sweet ! Was able to get the last copy of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box for 5 bucks

That information is actually well known. The guy that did it posted here under the title "SHC Gamer" although he mostly focused on Kmart deals. He left a month or so ago but didn't say what happened to him. I assumed he was laid off during the reorganization which is a shame since his wife recently had a baby and he really helped me and a ton of other people here out with deals and problems.

He said he would start posting here as a regular poster but he hasn't started yet or at least hasn't made himself known. Perhaps soon he will.

I saw Ratchet: Deadlocked for 7.97, although it was a November sticker. If it's 2 bucks or less, I will nab it.

The 2000 point Wii/DSi download cards in the plastic blister pack were marked at $14.97 clearance here.
