It's like they just stopped clearancing games which is odd given the large toy clearance they just went through (though that was pretty disappointing this year compared to previous years). You'd think they would want to clear up some gaming space post-Christmas.

Give it a month and things should be back on track. After Christmas is normally just toy clearance, you should know that being a crafty veteran like myself.

Things tend to pick up as the March and April releases drop in and they begin to need space for those AAA releases (Mass Effect 3, etc)

I believe it's in this week's ad. Buy 2 box of diapers (Huggies or Pampers), get a $10 gift card back. Huggies Little Movers (in the seasonal bulk area) seem to be the only ones clearanced though. Lucky for us, that's what we use.
I did this earlier in the week when the diapers were only 30% off, which is still a pretty good price for that many diapers. Got the same deal again this morning when the diapers hit 50% off. It's an awesome deal now if you use disposable diapers.

Here's the DPCIs for sizes 5 and 6:
007040228
007040227
Unfortunately I'm not sure which DPCI belongs to their respective sizes since the receipt does not list the size.

A couple of cheap gaming rocker chairs

Nice, another confirmation on them. I would maybe pick up the one with armrests if it were cheaper. But anyways, rhese gamer chairs are awkward for me to sit on.

I could see kids maybe using those gaming chairs, but why on Earth would any normal gamer want to sit that low to the floor instead of up in a nice cushy recliner or something to play games?

I mean, I can understand the speakers in the headrest for a simulated surround sound experience, but why not just buy a cheap SS system if you're going for that kinda sound.

Kind of off topic but these game chairs reminded me how much I hate my gaming set up right now.
My Xbox, Wii, and 19inch HD TV are set up on a desk, and I don't have any nice cushy desk chairs, so I spend hours hunched over in a folding chair while I play.
Oh how I miss the days of gaming on my couch.

I used to just have an old school office chair(metal frame, no wheels and with full wooden armrests) that I'd sit in front of my computer with.

Then my then gf's family got me a computer chair(sans armrests) and I've been using that ever since. Funnier still is that I have a full couch(pull out one no less) down here that I could use to sit/lay on and game from. But I have my games(and some of my guide collection) on it. I guess maybe I should invest in a nice book/game shelf and clean the damn couch off, huh?

I read "full crotch". Twice.

There's another chair that's MSRP $150. I'll go take a picture of it tomorrow.

Struck out with Alice: Madness Returns. Neither of my local stores have them discounted down yet. x.x

None of my targets have clearance it either even when it was first reported! Luckily I picked it up from best buy on their Christmas sales.

Bad luck..

The Target I found them at was in Long Beach, CA if anybody else is interested.

I used to have a chair like that (that was just a chair that rocked) and my roommate loved watching TV in it.


Personally I tend to stand or kneel in front of the TV when I play games. Sometimes I sit indian style on the floor. (no homo )

Stand or kneel in front of the tv while playing? Really? I usually only do that after a particularly long gaming session, just so my extremities don't fall asleep from sitting in the chair for too long.

I can't tell you how many times I rocked over mine or my brothers fingers in a chair like that 25 years ago haha

I would say I kneel 80% of the time when playing games.

-Yes that is sig worthy.

I would rather sit, but if it is a game that requires attention like a FPS or is fast moving, I can't seem to stay seated. I have been making a conscious effort to sit more when I play games (I plug in my controller. so I have to stay seated).

I also rarely blink, so my eyes are always bloodshot.
