So I figured we'd create a thread about the CC's in the area that have games in stock that will be $9.99 on Memorial Day. I hit the CC in Emeryville and they were out of most of the games; I picked up Matrix: Path of Neo and Mark Ecko's Getting Up there. I know they still have these two games in stock and I also saw copies of Blitz: The League, Infected, and From Russia With Love. I'm sure there are more there as I wasn't really paying attention but it seems like a lot of the clearance games are already out of stock.

I just got back from the CC in Hilltop and there are two copies left of Dragon Quest VII there (there were 3 before I grabbed one, hehe). I also saw Blitz, Path of Neo, Rainbow Six Lockdown, Chrystal Chronicles, Infected, Half-Life 2 (there were 2 copies), Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike, and True Crime: NYC (saw a lot of the LE editions there). This is from memory so I'm sure there were a lot of other games there. It seems like no one from Fatwallet or Slickdeals have hit this CC yet so if you're looking to get games that you can pricematch next week, Hilltop is probably your best bet. Oh yeah, I'm really sure I saw a ton of Doom 3's there also.

I work at the Emeryville CC, we actually have a bunch of games in the back. I can tell you for sure theres at least a couple DQs in the back. I don't know why they're back there, probably getting retagged or something cause I've noticed they've been doing it lately (not sure how it works on that side of the store exactly, I work in TVs). If people want, I could check stock in the computer and MAYBE hide some games. Also if any CAGs drop by while I'm working, I'll show you what clearance games we have left. Not much left but a couple good ones out there. I'm not working again till Thursday, but feel free to PM me if theres anything specific you'd like me to check.

hmm i am going to check the Union city and fremont CC if i have time tomorrow. I will let you all know what I see.

union city and fremont for me as well but probably wont go till sunday. gotta work ya know.

Pleasant Hill/Concord will have everything, they lack horders and the employees are useless (i.e. will sometimes not have a checkout open AT ALL) Every CC deal that has ever come along I have had my picking and choosing at everything first; TRU and Gamecrazy sales also btw. Oh and I only say this b/c I rarely am in the bay anymore.

Also what game is making this sale that good? I can't figure it out.

At this point, if I come away with Dragon Quest VIII only I'll be more than happy, but it sounds like the Emeryville CC is out.

CouRageous, by any chance do you know if you've still got some DQVIII's in the back? I'm planning on stopping by tomorrow.

i havent been to any CC's yet but plan to either go to the ones in San Mateo/SF hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning. not sure whatgames they still have in stock. any been to those? jsut mainly looking to get half life 2, infected and from russia with love

I just got back from the CC in Daly City (the one near Serramonte), and from what I could remember these were the games I saw:

From Russia With Love (only saw GC versions, but there were several)
50 Cent: Bulletproof (saw one copy)
Getting Up (plenty)
Blitz The League
Dragon Quest VIII (at least 3 copies)
Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire (several)
Metroid Prime 2 (plenty)

I wasn't really searching the shelves for the games on the list, so there's a chance the games I didn't list might be there. If I had more $$$ I would've picked up the remaining copies of DQVIII for fellow CAGs since that's gotta be the most sought after game from this sale.

I used to work there, so as far as I know you can buy it now and come back and have them refund the difference, unless that's changed for whatever reason. I may drop by and pick up a copy of DQ VIII, but other than that nothing appeals to me.

I went to the Santa Clara one looking for DQ8, but they didn't have any more copies. They also looked it up on the system, and the Sunnyvale and Almaden stores also have no copies. However, the Eastridge store is supposed to have 3 copies, at least as of early this evening. I was too lazy to go to east San Jose, so I just bought it at Best Buy. I didn't check for other games :\

This is a great thread. I am planning to hit up CC in Emeryville Sunday. Blitz and Half-life for the Xbox are on my radar.

Xevious, I stopped by yesterday. Half Life 2 was in the glass case (there are a few left) and Blitz was out on the shelf (a few left as well).

I want Blitz, From Russia With Love, Half-Life, and DQ VIII, but I don't think I can get to those in time since I'm going back home on Friday. I may just go to Best Buy and PM them.

so i hve quesiton...at CC's right are these games just regularp rice right now and u guys are going back on sunday to price match them? they are not tagged at 9.99 yet?

Yup, they're regular price right now.

i checked the fairfield store but i didnt see any DQ8 , i did see marc ecko getting up game but it was the limited edition game.

Question: Can you buy from Best Buy right now...and PM to Circuit City's price on Sunday?

That's what I'm assuming/hoping.

The only problem you may run into is the wording of the ad, if it's clearance they might not (read: probably not since price match policy generally excludes clearance items) if it's a sale, then you should have no problem. Therefore your best bet is to hope finding the game now at CC and having them adjust the price on Sunday.

I think it was mentioned in the main thread that it wasn't a clearance (or at least didn't say so in the ad). But I am concerned they might call to check the stock, since price matching wouldn't work there if they did that. I've never had a rep call another store when I brought a physical ad in though. (If I get denied, I'll probably try my luck w/Fry's.)
