Well, don't know if you all will have the same luck, but I found a sealed copy of fire emblem radiant dawn at FYE today on sale for $9.99. Also saw Tony Hawk Project 8 for the 360 at the same price. I'll post some images of it later.

Was this FYE closing (thus the discount)?

No, it was not. Only FE:RD and THP8 were at $9.99, and mixed in with the rest of the games.

Thanks, did Fire Emblem scan for that amount or did the employee manually adjust the price based on a sticker on it?

[Bezerker]

This isnt YMMV, its a Nationwide sale. Many Wii, 360, PS3, PS2, and PSP games have been marked down to $9.99. Thus far I've found:

Wii
Alien Syndrome
Battalion Wars 2
Code Lyoko w/ T-shirt

360 & PS3
Various 2008 Sports & non-yearly sports games (Sega RAlly, Tony Hawk, etc)

PSP
Jeanne D'Arc
Killzone Liberation


Since the cat's out of the bag anyways, You can take your receipt from FYE & pricematch at Best Buy & Walmart. The game is still going for around $50 on ebay, so its a great flip.

If someone could pick me up a copy, it'd certainly be appreciated!

[irishsoccermbw]

Whelp, i know where I'm going before class tomorrow...come on fire emblem

Yeah me too! I'll pay a little extra for the effort.

Anyone know the trade in value of this game at Gamestop? Discount FYE card + $5 trade in bonus on Wii games + Edge card = might make this a decent flip.

[rpgamer92]

i have a fye in my local mall, might be worth checking it out, and commy that's a good idea.

It sells for 30+ new on ebay, I just want a copy to play If there are extras I'll pick them up for fellow CAG.

[awfulwaffle25]

Wow! 9.99 Fire Emblem? My FYE better have this...hmm...trade in value of fire emblem at gamestop is i believe $15...plus $10 extra when you trade in 3 wii games...

1) Buy 3 Fire emblems = $30ish
2) Go to Gamestop
3) They give you $55 for trading in (Not to mention edge card)
4) Free $25!
5) Rinse and repeat at other locations...?

I'd love to see someone do this!


dang it...someone beat me to the thought

Yeah, I've been looking for a relatively inexpensive copy for my own collection to play. I missed the Toys R US $25 clearance and the $16.96 CC clearance, so my only hope for a bit has been a 20-25% off Wii games coupon from GameStop. I have an FYE about 10 miles from me; guess I'll check it out when I get some free time.

And awfulwaffle: trading in 3 copies of the same game is going to raise some major red flags at GameStop. You can bring your receipt in, but GameStop policy, unless you're in pretty well with the employees, is to not accept 2 of the same game (usually if it's the same game but different platforms they're a bit more lenient) in the same transaction/visit.

[david12795]

nice will go check it out.

[miktau]

will check this out tommrow, made a lot flipping bioshock from fye when it was $20 and I sold it for $50+.

thanks

[Josef]

FYE having a decent sale? No way?

I'll check Fire Emblem and Battalion Wars 2 tomorrow. Thanks OP and Bezerker.

[polo14player]

i saw at my fye - xbox 360 games - $9.99 - stuntman:Ignition and all pro 2k8 football. there were some others but nothing I can remember. going back so I will look at the wii games! bought stuntman, I think it's worth 10!

[awfulwaffle25]

Yeah I was just imagining me handing 3 sealed copies of Fire Emblem to gamestop and immediately getting raised eyebrows and "explain yourself's"...haha anyway I wasn't planning on doing it myself cause I'm an ebayer

Back on topic...anyone else confirm? I just called the one closest to me and they said it was $39.99. So is it YMMV or actually nationwide? Maybe I'll check a different one tomorrow...

[62t]

No reason to trade it in gamestop when you will get more on ebay

[gr8asianman]

I'll have to go check my FYE out tomorrow...thanks OP!

[Josef]

Amazing, someone posted a great deal on Fire Emblem and 90% of the talk is about flipping or selling?

Nobody here plays quality games anymore?

[david12795]

Nobody here plays quality games anymore?

Actually, I was going to buy it for pleasure.


Guess I'm the only one here.

[alongx]

I'll have to give this a shot on Saturday, since I'll be by the mall anyway...I'll bet if this game is in stock in my FYE, that it will be full price. But, better odds are that FYE is cleaned out by then.

[Drkirby]

Guess its to late now, but here is the pic:

Behold the awesome picture from 4MP No focus and fleshless camera.

Also, does this ring up automatically if its not marked? If so,

[Bezerker]

Most the stores ive been to have not had it marked. Its the same in all their systems, so do not worry if they are not marked.

FYE is also able to special order games, though they are not supposed to do it for customers. If you make nice with an employee, maybe they'll order some for ya.

[david12795]

So drkirby, which fye did u hit up in? I'd like to know in case u bought all the copies :p

[the_punisher]

Times like these i wish i had an FYE =/

[Drkirby]

So drkirby, which fye did u hit up in? I'd like to know in case u bought all the copies :p

The one in the Boynton mall, and yes, I did buy all 1 copies \\:D/

[david12795]

Haha, good thing that's out of my reach. Hopefully the FYE in welington will have at least a copy left.

[screamokid4life]

Going to the mall tomorrow hopefully I can get Fire emblem. Ebay price is like $40+ hopefully there is a lot of copies.
