Picked up Genesis Collection 7.49 , Street Fighter Alpha 3 7.49 and Red Faction 13.49

Saw The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon 13.49 and a bunch of GI JOE 13.49

I think I may have already missed the Bioshock LEs. If I see them, I will pick them up for CAGs. I already bought the LE PS3 at BB when they had the $20 off text message and used up my reward certs from the -cough-glitch sale-cough-.

I did see Kingdom Hearts RE for 14.98.

I always have bad luck finding these -_-

hey it's luck for those finding it at 7.xx!!

The ones I saw were $20 (75% off $80)

Awesome! Gonna try to track it down then. I think I'm always gonna get these rhythm games for the PS2 as opposed to current gen consoles because I'm borderline horrible at GH/RB and what not so why sell out the extra cash?

Today's totally random Target find:

Final Fantasy Origins $2.54

That's the one with Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II on one disc. Black label, even.

I haven't seen PS1 games in that Target (or, well, any Target) for ages. I figure they must have found it hiding back behind the old cases when they removed them to install the new ones or something.

It was the only copy there, before anyone asks.

It's madness, I just got back from Wal-Mart and the plastic/glass prisons for games are no more...yet Target boxed all of theirs up.

I wonder if Wal-Mart is listening & reacting to the voices on the internet.
It's a powerful marketing tool to let the customer actually touch the items they're curious in buying...that's a no-brainer.
Target ed their shit up.

I actually enjoyed being in the video game section of Wal-Mart...I don't with Target anymore.

how does a plastic prison take away from your actually touching the item? I mean, what is the difference between holding the case and holding the case in another case? It's not like you can't read it?

You guys with the "plastic prisons is the evils" are too much.

What? That's how the prisons in hell work. I don't think we go too far enough!

I know you don't care for me, but I picked up two of the Bioshock 2 LE's last night from one of my local Target stores for $19.98(+tax) each. Both of the slipcovers that go over the big cardboard boxes are trashed(various rips/bends/etc)but the boxes themselves are still shrinkwrapped in plastic. I'd just have to figure out how the hell to ship the extras w/o them getting trashed en route, since the box it all comes in is HUGE. Chances are I'd probably lean towards using a flat rate priority box, IF it'd even fit in the biggest one.

Scratch that. I have one of the large flat rate boxes here and the box is about 2" too big to fit in it.

I really think that those getting hyper over the new plastic prison setup have to be some of the El Stasho's who walk clearance stuff over to health & beauty from electronics, which explains why they're pissed bout the new setup.

Wait what? In the lip stick section?!?!!? Never thought to look there lol. :P

As the employees in electronics told me one time, they found a full area rug stashed behind the chips in the snack aisle when doing a walkthrough of the store before closing.

According to them it wasn't a small rug either. We're talking somewhere around 5-10 feet long by 5 feet wide.

I've found those clearance HDD's in the external enclosures tucked away underneath other electronics, various video games stashed UNDER the monitors and at least a half dozen other items hidden here and there.

If I find something that's been hidden, I always try to make sure the employees know about it and I hand them the item.

The craziest one I've seen was a copy of GH: Smash Hits for 360 stashed in amongst the baseball cards...

Another case is another barrier to having the game (or the imagination thereof). There's some subconscious marketing-something in there.

I don't need the box the stuff comes in if everything else fits.
