Princeton NJ

Maximo PS2 - $4.98
Sims Deluxe PC - $8.78

Can games ever ring up cheaper at the register than the "scan it yourself" machines indicate? My local Target still hasn't done the latest 50% cut on Maximo, Virtua Fighter 4, Unlimited Saga (PS2) that many have found the past couple weeks; still $10, $10, and $14 here.

However, I did notice that my store already had Freedom Fighters (PC) marked down from $40 to $20...of course, Amazon has it for $16.

Nope.. they're all hooked into the same pricing system. My advice is that if you can regularly check back on mondays or tuesdays, do so, because from my observations it looks like there's a tier system that certain stores (which appear to be higher volume), have an extended period to go to "final clearance pricing". I've seen stuff be priced at $6.48 in Burlington that goes for $20.98 the same day in Princeton, but like the lead post says, your milage may vary.

I've seen items scan crazy at the aisle scanners before.

Recently I saw the PS2 Arc the Lad scan for $0.00 at an aisle scanner, but obviously that wasn't right. Of course, it scanned for regular price at the cashier (well, actually on a hand scanner).

I thought I'd fallen into the good stuff for a while there.

Edit: Heh, reading the rest of the thread helps. Ignore me, I hadn't done that until just now.

Tukwila, WA and Federal Way, WA:
The Hulk (Xbox) just went down to $20.98. I hope it goes down to $7-10 soon.

Nightcaster 2 (xbox) for $12.98 in Amherst, NY. I don't think it's supposed to be great, but it has to be better than the first one.

I've heard it's better from some reviews, and some say it's even worse, which I didn't think was possible. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/...nox/index.html

I got Golden Sun on GBA for 10 bucks, Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly for 10 bucks, Socom, no red stripe for $15 and Ratchet Clank, no stripe for $15 at Target today.

All great deals, although Socom and Ratchet are technically not clearance items, just part of the greatest hits selection on sale this week for $15 a pop (cool that you got the stripeless ones, though).

Yeah, I refuse to buy them with the GH stripe, that's just the way I am, so I had to buy them while they were still in circulation without them.

I bought my first red stripe Greatest Hits game. VF Evolution, but there was no other way around it. Bastards.

Yeah...I don't like the GH versions either. Haven't bought one yet, then again, I don't wait around long around to pick 'em up as GH.

I was able to find a non-GH version of Kingdom Hearts the other day and I had to pick up another copy.

Just picked up Dark Cloud and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for $4.98 at a Chicago burbs Target...TONS of Dark Clouds but only 1 more Resident Evil.

Nightercaster 2 has the strange phenomenom in co-op where if you and your partners characters get too close together, they will fuse into a singular being which will not move an unstoppable four-armed beast with lead feet.
Avoid it until it drops well below 5 dollars.

I have been to 4 Targets down in my Area (Miami-Dade County, in Florida) and none have any clearance at this time, if anyone sees a X Box live set for clearance could you please let me know, as I would gladly pay cost,shipping plus extra for your time. Thanx again.

I just tried out my local target and its got a ton of PS2 and Xbox games, too bad I was looking for GCN games.

They had two cube games, both crap, and no GBA games at all reduced.

Jason could you list the x games, your target had please? Thanx

I didn't really pay too much attention since I don't have an Xbox, but I noticed they had about a million copies of Spiderman for $16.50. Most of what they had was just regular priced platinum hits.

I picked up Code Veronica X today for $4.98. They also had Burnout (PS2) for $11, and a bunch of other clearance games for $14-$20. None that were worth a price that high. Also, I got Activision Anthologies for $10. Not on clearance, but still a great deal.

Princeton NJ:

Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2) $5
WWE Crush Hour $5
XenoSaga $7.50
Unreal Tournament 2003 $5

Also I picked up an Activision Anthology for a Tenner.

There was lots of clearance stuff that was old, but just seemed to appear.
