I'm hoping that a bunch of targets just marked these r&c copies down in the system but didn't bother hunting them down to label, may get lucky next week with another drop.

on a side note, today was a terrific day for non video game clearance. lots of stuff in all departments including seasonal and toys for decent prices.

Not really all that excited over a 7 dollars savings for R&C but may go and see what I may of missed Monday since I didn't go on my typical weekly trips.

FFA for $13.98 is only a 30% clearance, right? I'll wait for 50% or 70%.

this I hope my target still has a copy

All of the Targets in the Tampa, FL area are sold out of R&C: FFA so I find it hard to understand why so many people in this thread are finding them on clearance. I know the game isn't very popular, but if so many stores are sold out, why are others clearancing them so early? I also know that it was sold out on Amazon (except 3rd party) until just recently. I'm sure it's one of those things no one will be able to answer, but interesting to ponder at least...

My only logical guess is that Sony wants to discontinue physical stock to sell more digital versions - especially when the game is a little more desirable because the Vita version will be available.

I took a chance and checked a third Target (only because it was convenient) and was surprised to find a stack of about 20 R&C:FFA on clearance for $13.xx when the first two were completely out. I'm not sure why these didn't show up on their website stock locator. I'm sure someone here would probably tell me clearance items normally do not. Either way, i'm happy with the find. Now i'm just waiting for the Vita version to go live.

FIFA Street 4, $11.98

Forgot to look for R&C, doh!

Christmas clearance was torn up/down/sideways when I got to the store at 4:00 PM. Everything at 50% level, seasonal candy virtually wiped out on the day after Christmas (never seen that before), and plenty of cows still clogging up the aisles grazing for Christmas stuff.

Checked out my local Target tonight. Only noteworthy thing I saw was GTA:Chinatown Wars PSP for 5.98.

You could always look on the upper right hand corner of the clearnace sticker. It has the percent off in witch it makes the price. Or for a quick CAG math lesson you can click on the spoiler tab. I try to explain this to my wife but she is bad at math.


So if you really want to figure out percentages off and how much something will cost at a certain percent of it is pretty easy. Lets take FFA for $13.98. The regular retail is $19.99 so lets just round that up to to $20. Now if you are taking 30% off that means you are paying 70 cents on the dollar (100-30=70). So since the retail price is 20 and you will be paying .70 cents on the dollar you want to multiply .70 x 20; however, many people get confused with multiplication when dealing with double digits. So, just take away the zeroes and multiply 7 x 2 =14. This is the way I do it when percentages end in "0" So 30% off of $20 is $14 or Targets $13.98.

So this formula will work for any item you are looking for. So if you are at a Kohls and its 85% off an item marked $19.99 than you will multiply .15 x 20 (Fifteen cents on the dollar twenty times) so that item is $3.00. Easiest way to do it is thinking how many cents on the dollar you will be paying. Hope this helps, my wife can never do it so I am the one doing all the clearance shopping.

there's an easier way than that i believe. it used to be the last digit could tell you. look at whether it ends in a 8, 6, or 4. that will tell you if it's on it's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd markdown

Independence, Mo has six copies of Ratchet and it was marked $9.98. Not my type of game, hope this helps someone.

No, game clearance always ends in an "8" unless its final markdown after 70% hence ratchet is $13.98 than it will drop to $9.98 than drop to 70% to $5.98. If it last past 70% it will go salvage or marked down to $3.04 for final clearance.

Cooking Mama 3: Shop and Chop - 5.98
Beyblade: Metal Fusion - 5.98


Cooking Mama 3 has been on the clearance bin for a while but was always scanning 19.99 until the other day. Beyblade has been 5.98 for a while but I haven't seen it reported here, so just adding.

"Than" and "Then" are not interchangeable. A couple more commas wouldn't hurt in that sentence either.

I LOVE the free grammar correction - that guy got a real deal for free. Well done ooga - now can you please correct every alot (a lot) and point out the difference between there, their and they're ;-)

Thats a really cool "alot" drawing! Do that yourself?

Anyways, of course "A Lot" is much simpler:

Definitions of "There, their and they're" :

There - Not here

Their - Not me

They're - Islamic for Not Me.

I went to "terrget" yesterday. Long story. Got a fatty 200GB PS/3 for my kid (preowned). Figured, fix it myself. So, fixed YLOD. Ran the thing for nearly 6 weeks without a hitch. Pack it up, gift wrap it. Give it to him on Xmas. He plugs it in, YLOD.

SO! Off to Terrget yesterday, bought him the 250GB Uncharted one. Everyone take notes: "To screw things up properly always costs more money". Should be a definition (word!) for that. How about:

Fixspencing - "To fix things resulting in costing you more money rather than just doing the right thing from the start".

Anyways, they had Ferrari Test Drive in closeout for $14.98 and a bunch of DJ Hero II's for the seX-Box 360 for $4.98. I bought a Ferrari game. I thought about going home and grabbing my mass of rolled up pennies and going back for the DJ Hero mass. Why? Because at the rate my pennies value is declining they should equalize in value with DJ Hero sometime next year, they take less space, easier to carry.

So sometime next year if I want a pack f chewing gum (the under .99 stuff) I could just hand the cashier 4 or 5 copies of DJ Hereo II right?
