BB = Blockbuster or Best Buy?

Best Buy

Princeton NJ, BB no more F-Zero guides, I picked up the last pair. However there is a mamouth stack of VF4s (guides) that go for a penny.

You think they will cancel these orders?

The guides for Pokemon saphire/ruby and Sonic DX are also a penny. I got couple of each.

Are these prices good at all BBs?

Yeah, especially if you see it on the website. I asked the old guy in media to check the price of the F-Zero guide last night, and he told me that "If you see the price on the website, it's the price in the store."

And so far, he's been right, except for the cheap-ass DVDplayer I picked up, it was less in store.

Where on the website can I find the strategy guides?

You've gotta do a search for the specific titles, but they do disappear very quickly from the website. I can confirm that F-Zero, LoZ:WW, and EtM are no longer listed on the site.

click here for videogame guides, but as they said they get the clearance price ones off the site pretty quick.

VP- thanks for the link, it makes for a quick-check to see which ones got dropped to clearance price really quickly, just have to sort by price.

UPS to VP!

Man i just went to the local best buy here in Florida and i saw the F-zero guides so i picked up one to make sure it was a penny and sure enough it was. So i then proceeded to pick up the other 4 left and the cashier calls over another employee (not a manager) and he says "you can only buy 3"....what an asshole!!!...he probably got mad i was snatching them up thanx to my fellow cheapass gamers...lol...I gave him a piece of my mind and ended up leaving with my 3 guides.

I think he wanted to pick them up for hims own use. I told him i did'nt see no damn sign sayin i could only get 3. Moral of the story is.......bring a friend or talk to the manager cause i guess if you are tryin to get a good deal someone always has to try to f$%k it up for you

Does anyone know when these guides will be back to full price? Do they last until Saturday, like all sales in their ads, or is it until they run out? And if they're only temporary, do new ones go on sale each week?

It's to get rid of old stock. They stay at this price indefinately, but once they're gone, they're gone for good.

I picked up 2 F-Zero guides last week for 1 cent each and I went back today and I got the following all for 1 cent each:

Zelda: WW
Zelda: OoT
NCAA Football 2004
Tomb Raider
Wario World

I made them scan pretty much all the other guides and they were all the right price. I wanted the Kingdom Hearts guide, but they didn't have any. The lady at the register was actually laughing so it was funny. Pretty good deal.

I went last night and found a few more guides for $.01:
Donkey Kong Country for Gba
Brute Force
DragonBall Z: The Legacy of Gokou 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
The Hulk
Action Replay Code book Vol 1
Gameshark Codes 2003

I picked up a few guides for a penny each, but I noticed something as I was searching for the ones I wanted - BB carries guides by different companies for the same game (i.e. Nintendo's Zelda WW guide and BradyGames' WW guide). Does anyone know if the different guides are still all $.01?

I was doing some thinking, and I thought - is it possible that BB marks down all guides that are either several months old or just plain not selling well? Is there anyone willing to check it out and do a price-check on each guide? I'm too wimpy to walk up to an employee and say, "Hey, can you check the prices on all these guides - I just want to buy all the ones that are a penny", but I'm sure there's at least one person here who wouldn't mind.

they will cancel the orders, I have ordered a ton of guides when they go down to a penny and I have never gotten 1. They always cancel my order.
