anyone here get the 25% off BB toy coupon to work? everyone that I talked to on slickdeals from Wisconsin couldn't make it happen, just wondering if anyone had any luck here

Re: Best Buy $25, Didn't try. The Slickdeals failure list deterred me.

In other news: this must be "Wacky Target Pricing Weekend" at Goodwill.

Yesterday, I got a barely-used Wiimote for $6.99 in Green Bay (old strap, no glove; presumably a Target return).

Then today, I saw several piles of last year's Activision Wii promo DVD movies at the Manitowoc Goodwill. Goodwill wanted $19.99 each. I wish I had a camera on me. I alerted the staff that these were a penny at first release, and they pointed out that it would be discounted soon (presumably half off? :-)).

Have you seen any other craziness with respect to old/returned Target items at Goodwill?

I've heard Goodwill recieving items from target, but never found any evidence of any video games there. I've checked both Goodwills in Green bay constantly and have never had any luck. I sure wish they did carry. I was waiting for the Godfather to go down from 19.99 at target and the following week all the clearance items were pretty much gone. There's no way someone could have picked the store clean. oh well.

i did manage to buy Ghost Squad at the Green Bay West Side Target for 9.99. It was listed for 29.99 but was not found in the system.

you've probably seen circuit citys ad for viva pinata for 13.99. Well, i stopped by shopko today and browsed the clearance section and picked up a special edition viva pinata for 9.99. it's marked 19.99 but don't let that fool u.

Lucky you cromico on the Ghost Squad deal.

I tried the East Madison Target and had no luck.

Congrats on both. FYI the Green Bay east-side Goodwill has a Guitar Hero III (Wii) for $59.99 (in their display case). It looks like a Target return. Hopefully all the parts are there and it works, otherwise you're looking at about $60 in store credit if returned.

Any word on what clearance titles are at Circuit City in Madison or Green Bay? I'm looking for DS and Wii.

I didn't find any DS titles at Westside Madison CC. I scored on FFV Advance, and that was it. I didn't check on Wii games.

Westside Madison CC clearance has been picked over since Christmas. I only wanted the 360 version of Gun...no luck. Maybe the Eastside has a few.

I'll have to check while I'm out today. Haven't been to CC in a long time.

Madison here also, just joined the forum and posted in the CC clearance thread.

"Stopped in both Madison, WI CC's today and they don't have jack.
Was looking for Far Cry, COD2, Condemned, and Tony Hawk Wasteland for the 360 - Jade Empire for Xbox - and Godhand and Onimusha: DOD for the PS2.
Only one they had was COD2 which isn't on their list and is still at $29.99. Even had the guy scan it to be sure.
Would've liked to have also snagged Okami and MGS3 Subsistence at $16.95, but all the aforementioned titles are long gone."

Have been a gamer (and cheap!) for some time now.
I am not a hoarder and do not buy games to sell/trade for profit. I only purchase for myself.

I went to both CC's Sunday early afternoon. They had 2 copies of GUN for the 360 at the west side Madison CC, one after I left.

Didn't see anything good at Eastside CC, went to Target though and there were about 15 copies of the newest Tony Hawk CE for $15.

Green bay cc had about 75% PS2 games. I don't have one so i didn't look through the selection. I did pick up american wasteland for 360. There was one Chromehounds, tons of bomberman and 360 sports titles. Other than that, nothing.

I suggest everyone shoots off an email to your senators telling them of your disapproval. I stated that this surcharge is discriminitory and would prefer an increase on general goods/services. If there was scientific proof of video game violence causeing juvenile crime I would have no problem i.e. other "sin tax". Remember to include your address.

Thanks for the heads-up on the proposal/legislator links. I doubt this'll get a co-sponsor and pass, but I'm not going to leave it to fate.

Tony Hawk CE? Which Tony Hawk are we talking about and for what console?

Tony Hawk Proving Ground for the 360.

It's at the Super Target in Fitchburg for that price now as well.

There are enough copies around town that I'm ok waiting another week to see if it drops to $7.48.
