Dude, you are in Plano, TX... upper middle class, upper class white people all over the place. You will not see clearance at that Sears. You will have better luck in a ghetto Sears in Dallas or Ft. Worth. Not in Plano...

No special clearance at my sears, but picked up star fox 3ds for $25 (down from $30 last month). Not a huge deal, but cheaper than I can find it anywhere else. Got it since it dwindled from ~3 copies to just 1 left. Anybody see starfox cheaper at theirs? Doesn't show up on google shopping for me.

Thats a good idea.... We shop in areas that are poorer... Poorer means less people to buy $60 games.... ITS GENIUS!!!!!!!

idk about you but shopping "in the hood" or poorer areas has found me deals. mainly pawn shops and local smaller stores though

I've actually found more deals shopping in areas with a glut of malls and multiple Sears, Targets & Best Buys. Case in point: Syracuse NY area. There's three shopping malls(Shoppingtown, Carousel and Great Northern Mall), 3 or so Targets, 3 or so Best Buys, a ton of Gamestops and at least 1 TRU store. Albeit with the demise of TRU clearance for the most part I didn't even bother to venture into the one store up in that area aside from one time to check things out.

But I found tons of clearance games at the Sears in both malls and loads of pennied guides at the GS stores and more than a few good clearance priced games at the Targets up there. Couple that with a bunch of thrift stores I'd also check for gaming deals at times and I used to make out like a frickin' bandit.

Compare that to my area, where everything is duplicated from one city to another and there's still tons of GS stores, but I've found less really good deals here as opposed to out of town.

It's like people in areas with tons of the same stores just don't bother checking for deals or don't care for the most part.

Nothing to mention in Bellingham, WA today. Last weekend they had some ds handhelds for 80, but I wasn't interested. I have been keeping watch on the ps3 and xbox there, and neither of them have dropped any lower since they were marked down 10 bucks in may. All of the games are the same price they have been since may. The skylander packs are all full price. (I had a clerk scan a bunch of stuff and it was all priced as marked.)

I don't know if it was just a glitch in the system a while ago or not, but I noticed around 2-3 months ago that Google Shopping was bringing up the Black Friday 2011 PS3 bundle and showed a price of $150 or something. I doubt anyone's stores have any of them in stock by this point, but if you do you should have it checked.

Walden Galleria had 2 1600 point cards for $9.97. Grabbed them both.
McKinley had nothing. Probably wont have time to hit Eastern Hills this week.
I did get PC Space Marine and Deus Ex HR from Mckinley Best Buy for $5 a piece as well.

checked another sears, absolutely nothing. They actually had everything OVERpriced

Wait, Arlington participated? I picked up a few things, but the systems scanned at full price and there was no 50% tags like at the Frisco store.

Don't waste your time with Frisco, sale started last wk there and was 50% off. The tool from CGX snagged 3-4k worth of merchandise for his store next door. A few vita items left, like chargers and hard cases. Snagged one of each and some cheaper games, a few games left at 2.97 (4 psp and some terrible Ds games)... also some other games left but those were 50% off the last tagged price

This isn't true at all. Collin creek actually has some of the better clearance in the area and I've been to all of the DFW area Sears. Even though it's Plano you're forgetting that it's the COLLIN CREEK MALL! All those upper middles go to North Park now.

Had to go in town today and stopped by a Sears. They've sold quite a few games since I was last there but nothing was any cheaper. However I did find the official Playstation Move Charging Station marked 4.97 on a table of random crap that said extra 60% off. So got that for 1.99, not too bad.

Stopped by Sears in Spokane, WA today. Every game in the store was in a clearance bin. However, the price were not clearance really. Most games were marked reduced but were about the same price you'd find them on Amazon or at GameStop even. Newer games (Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, etc) were full price. I was told they could not reduce the prices on those.

I would love the day when Sears but Skyrim on a heavy clearance.

Thanks for that update. I want able to check that store since I was on vacation. Hopefully they have some consoles go on sale as well.

My response to all of this...

Some of us already got the game for pretty cheap. I bought it at $60 and it went to $40 somewhere else, so I PM'd that. Then I dumped off that copy when it was getting $35 or closer to $40 and now I have a CE copy that I paid $60 to BB for, which reminds me I should see if I could PM that since I'm RZ silver, as it went down to $29.99 now.

Skyrim on PS3 is only worth $10....

I don't know about that. Before he seemed to lose interest in gaming recently, my one buddy was ALWAYS playing Skyrim. I think he said he had maybe 1-2 freezes and a few framerate drops, but nothing majorly game breaking.
