So is there a certain procedure or schedule for the closing stores? I assume it starts off at 10% off. Do they typically sell all the rental games or ship them to other stores?

I just got war for cybertron on ps3, great deal op.

so the manager was able to exchange the games for movies. Instead of the games I wound up with the 1st 2 narnia's on blu ray and machete on blu ray.
Much better deal I think, but the best deal was at best buy.
For LA Noire and singstar + dance previously viewed 28 dollars for both, and the singstar includes 2 microphones

Well my BBv in staten island NY put there CLOSING SIGN today & couldn't find any good game because there offer is 10% off on all video games. I'll wait until next week to see if it goes to 40% off.

No way it goes from 10% to 40% in one week. It's much more likely to be 15% (20% at most). If you're waiting for 40%, you'll have to wait about a month. But by then most everything will be gone.

Found a copy of Wii Party and F1 2010 at my closest BBV.

I can't complain. Hopefully they stay for at least a couple more years. <...>

Are you saying the other three Independence stores are closing, or just that you normally only hit up one of them?

My store is definitely staying open. I know there is a CAG in my area. The shelves are $14.99 game free and there are rows of Space Marine, LA Noire and FEAR 3.

Well I found out why there's no games for 15 or under at my store... I had though the managers pulled them just because they wanted to stealth not participate in the sale, but went by today on my way to Chipotle and BAM... FREAKING STORE CLOSING SIGN UP.

Now not only are the sales not valid but most of the games and movies are MORE expensive than they just were! WTF oh well.

It seems like there's a huge round of closings and I know people have said that it's based more on rent than sales but I still find this hard to believe. This store has been there for a LONG time and is almost consistently busy. It's also in a part of town where there's more and more empty buildings (for instance nothing ever moved into the Hollywood Video after that closed).

From what I've heard about my local store it was neither rent or sales. They had cheap rent, were always busy, are the only video rental place within miles, and were supposedly the only profitable store in the district. So who knows why they chose to close it.

My "favorite" BBV is closing. Don't know why. Cheap rent, only store in a 15 mile radius, always busy and turns a profit. 10% off sale started yesterday. Manager claimed they made 10K in sales since the sign went up yesterday. Why weren't all these folks buying stuff during the sales? Manager tipped me off to the fact that they were boxing up all their rental games and sending them to the store closest to me and another store I frequent about 15 miles away. Hopefully these stores will lower the price and sell them.

So, I have a game out on my pass. Did they ever intend to let me know about it or anything? How does that work? Can I return it and get a refund on my pass? Or at least cancel the damn thing?

And yeah, it is always disappointing to see how much these stores sell when they mark everything back up and then make it 10-20% off. They had great deals for years and years that went mostly unnoticed, but as soon as they put up liquidation/closing sale signs people pay more for stuff .

Went to a different store today (Apparently 2 of the 3 in the area are closing....).

Their deals were pretty decent, quite a few good games that seemed to be the same price as before the closing sales.

Nearly grabbed a copy of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (9.99) for DS, but then i realized they had like 4 copies, so im gonna wait and see if i can get it lower.

I went to transfer my combo pass at my closing store and they just canceled it and refunded me the difference of days left until the next billing cycle, so I'm gonna get $3 and change back. I asked why they were closing and I got the high rent excuse, but I doubt that as well. Next closest BBV is only 10 minutes away from my house, but if that one shuts down (which I fear won't be long the way things are going), no more combo pass for me.

ugh, tried to go to my local bbv after work today only to find it had closed early and see all these store closing signs all over the windows. and this is the store i have $60 in credit to and i doubt they'll let me transfer it to a gift card/another store. :(

Is Fear 3 $14.99? On what platform? Is it $14.99 on ps3?

I got Singularity, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Turning Point Fall of Liberty, Alan Wake, Brink, and Dead to Rights at 2 different BBV in VA. I did notice a CAG in area, there was 5 copies or so at both stores of Kinect Adventures. lol

dont waste your time, liquidations are a total scam

all prices are jacked back up to full msrp retail then they slowly start the discounts, by the time it reaches 40-60% off is when it finally gets back to normal sale prices of non-liquidating competitors

so the only time you actually get a deal is when it hits 60-80% off and by that time nothing good is left because all the simpletons have been suckered and cleared most of it out
