Rather than create a Central Cali thread I decided to narrow it down to just those in the 209 area code because the area is so stretched out and nearly impossible to get to. With all the tiny little towns with populations 20k and under it's just easier to do it this way, so if there's anyone else representin' the 209 area code go ahead and post here where you're from.

I live in Los Banos. (translation: The Springs for all you jerks out there)

Representing!

I'm in Merced (formerly LB). With the way this area stretches out between LB, Merced, Turlock, Modesto, etc... I'm sure there are other CAG's out there among us.

I use to be in the 209 until they changed the area code of Fresno to 559.

Fresneck!
Should I open this to the Central Valley entirely or is that just too much of a stretch?

I think that's close enough.....

Or call this the 209/559 thread since 559 used to be a part of 209.

Merced, CA Target clearance deals:

DS - Polarium: $20.98

Just returned from there.

I might have to jump on Trace Memory at that price. I own Meteos already, but I could probably sell it and make a buck or two on it.

They had 3 or 4 copies of it. The game they have the most of was NFL Street 2 (8-10 copies). They also have a copy or two of Backyard Wrestling for the XBox, but didn't check the price on it (it was clearance, tho).

Meteos was in the display case. The other titles were on a back endcap between Electronics & the entrance to the Garden Center. They had put some on the one shelf that is there then the rest they put on the very bottom shelf towards the back. I had to duck down to see the stuff, otherwise you'd probably miss the stuff just walking by. They had some other clearance stuff on there as well (iPod jackets, a digital camera and such).

That's funny I'm not from Merced and I know where the Target clearance games are. They're on the endcap where the PS2/PSP games are at and on occasion I've seen them on the endcap to the left of that one. (the left when you're standing facing the clearance stuff) There's also a big sign that says something about 'clearance' or 'budget' or something like that.

Just a heads up...TRU in Merced is now 40-60% off. Just came back from there. When I got there, they were finally putting all their DS titles out, although obviously they have more in the cage since I had a slip for one (Tony Hawk) and he had to run back and get it.

Here's what I picked up (all DS titles...prices are after the 40% off):
Feel the Magic: $5.99
Polarium: $5.99
Mario & Luigi: PIT $20.99
Kirby's Canvas Curse: $20.99
Tony Hawks' American Sk8land: $17.97

Think I'll run back tonight and see if any more is put out....

Damn, I knew I should've went there on Saturday! Now the earliest I can get out there is Thursday. I guess I'll make half hour trip anyway just to see if there's some deals to be had.

I saw it in the other thread that you made it over here. What'd you end up with?

And also for anyone interested....Target in Merced has Polarium on clearance for $20.98.

Actually my girl went over there and she got copies of (all DS games) Mario Kart x2, Sonic Rush, Advance Wars DS x2, Kirby Canvas Curse, Mario and Luigi Partners in Time x2, and three more that I can't even remember off the top of my head. Would've liked to have gotten Trace Memory, Lost in Blue, Trauma Center, and of course Phoenix Wright, but they had nary a one of those as far as she could see. I'm probably going to head out there myself on Thursday. By any chance do either of you know when they are closing for good? I thought they were going to be done by the end of this month and from the looks of it that's how it's going to be, but I might want to get out there one last time after this Thursday.

Just came back from there a little while ago (again) to see what was left. I do remember seeing a couple of copies of Trace Memory.

The story in the Sun Star said the "end of February". There's still a couple more DS titles I'd like to pick up, but am sort of hoping to see maybe 50 or 60% soon enough....

Cool, I'll hit them up tomorrow or Friday then. I may pick up Trace Memory. I checked the other games I got and they are:

Bust-A-Move DS
Feel the Magic XY/XX
Metroid Prime Pinball

I live in 207!

Which is in Maine, on the opposite side of the continental US.

I went in to TRU today and bought a crapload of games, more of the same mostly, but I also got Tony Hawk (tons left still), Trace Memory a couple sets of Xbox 360 component cables, a strategy guidefor FFIV (70% off!) and Seinfeld season 5 and 6 sets. I did ask them when they were closing and they told me the 25th so you've got a few more days left to jump on stuff, what little there is left. They did still have copies of DK Jungle Beat which I'd love to have, but I've spent way too much there already.

On a side note I went to Target across the street and they had 2 premium Xbox 360's and one core system in stock.
