I asked a simple question(to SHC) about whether or not they had a way to check inventory for Sears due to the store I was at today disappearing for some reason from Google's shopping search.

As for putting it in my posts that I'm talking about Sears in the Kmart thread, why should I? If people can't be bothered to read back 10-20 posts and figure it out for themselves, then I say they deserve to go waste gas on a wild goose chase.

Are you being serious? This is a kmart thread. If you're gonna talk about a sears deal, it's simple courtesy to say so so that people don't go on wild goose chases.

How'd you like it if someone talked about a great deal at Best Buy Canada in the BB thread but left out the part about Canada and sent you on a wild goose chase?

That's not about being spoonfed and not reading back 20 posts. That's about not being a douchebag. Which you obviously can't understand.
 
Let's be honest; the only reason why the sears question was posted in here is in the (very small) off chance that Josh actually responds to something that I don't believe he even plays a part in as much clearance deals at sears now are done in store. I don't think he would support dropping a netbook to $20 so I'd imagine that decision was made from someone other then himself

Wrong. Josh still has to approve the clearance drops for GAMES at Sears. He said so himself previously.

Is a netbook a game?

And he has to approve initail drops but stores can still run their own independent clearance drops and this has been proven many many times in store to store YMMV price drop comparisons. All it takes is the managers approval.

thanks though.
 
[quote name='JustYourAverageJoe']The only "special" component you need is a dedicated GPU; there are no special processors, motherboards, etc. required for a good gaming PC. My CPU is the same one you could find in a manufactured desktop.

I'll concede that it's too involved for some people, there's no doubt it's an acquired taste. But if you're sinking a couple of thousand into a gaming rig, you're doing it wrong. You can build a rig that runs most games at max or near max settings for $800-$1000, maybe even less. That's about the price of your average midrange desktop at Best Buy, and only a bit more expensive than an iPad. It's really not that out of reach, but it comes down to priorities and I respect a lot of people don't want it. But there's no denying it does make a noticeable difference, which was my original point.[/QUOTE]

Right. But then you have to upgrade it yourself of shell out money for someone to install the graphics card for you. And computers are tempermental. And 2-3 years from now you won't be able to play the new release games without further upgrades (at least not at the highest settings). And high quality monitors are several times more expensive then LCD tv's.

The gap in quality between PC's and consoles when games like Myst first came out and the difference now is slowly closing.

For me personally I just like the "plug n play" feel to being able to throw in a game and play.
 
[quote name='confoosious']Are you guys talking Sears clearance in here? If so, cut that shit out. It gets too confusing.[/QUOTE]


I know it’s the Kmart thread but man I wanted to post about my experience at Sears today and the employee falsifying the price of a clearance item by substituting a same manufacturer, different style/type of item in its place.

Even after I saw the clearance price on screen before he took it off the screen quickly. Went to a different section entered a number showing a different price and even a different item description on screen. Then hastily threw it back in the locked case

By the way it was the Netbook and he was substituting the Tablet to Jimmy Dolan shake “n bake me. But you can’t fool papa Koulikov got go corporate route to complain since the employee was being difficult, lied to my face after he saw the clearance price, even refused to take it out again and hand scan it a second time when my brother came over.

Got a manager involved “amazingly” came up at clearance price but still wouldn't sell it to me, but did put it aside at my brothers request and she was going to check with loss and prevention to see if she could sell it to me at the clearance price. 30 minute drive for frustration.

Oops I told you about my Sears debacle in the Kmart thread sorry figured first blurb needed an explanation.

As much as I would love Josh to go go like Godzilla on the place, he's probable got enough on his plate, and your right he most likely cant do anything about clearance items. But on a side note I love my local Kmart always friendly and helpful staff there.

He said months ago that he couldn't see allowing games to drop 'below $10' at Sears and that's about when Sears clearance went away for a while.

Dropping stuff to stupid cheap prices may not make sense from a financial standpoint, but when the other choice is cluttering up the shelves with items that obviously haven't moved at MSRP or games that haven't moved even during the sales at Kmart(i.e. 3-4 year old sports titles), then where does that leave the company?

It leaves them sitting on millions of dollars in products that are collecting dust and taking up shelf space that newer products could be taking up and possibly selling from with the right promotion/sale behind them.

Let's face it though, when it comes to gaming and even electronics, what retailer do you think of first? I'm sure if you asked the average shmuck on the street, the answer for gaming would be Gamestop and the answer for electronics would likely be Best Buy or one of their regional competitors.

When SHC did the LA NOIRE deal a while back, do you know how many TV ads I saw dedicated to getting the word out on it? ZERO. ZIP. ZILCH. NADA.

Most of these deals are advertised via the blog, which let's face it, unless you really know about the blog you're not going to know about the sales/deals.

So then the remaining copies of those games that may have received an insane sale deal one month sit and collect dust and join the others sitting in the case.

What I'm trying to say with all of this is if the company had promoted that Sears also sells games and advertised it, then maybe they wouldn't be sitting on a ton of old junk that no one except the clearance hunters like me really want.

LOL Apocalypse. That sounds like my experience on Weds with the one employee at a Sears up in Clay(NY) at the Great Northern Mall. The guy kept basically refusing to check anything by scanning it. Even went so far as to only copy down the numbers for the item, then quickly changing the screen after showing me it was MSRP in their system.

It was like he was trying to get rid of me as quickly as he could so he could go back to watching the HDtv's. That's how the one fat bastard was to me when I asked the other guy(who was actually working) to price check the PS2 slims for me. The prick kept saying 'systems never go clearance, systems never go clearance'.

I guess by talking to the other employee I was interrupting his movie he was trying to watch on the big screens.

SHC really has to put motion detectors on their employees and if they stand still for too long they get an electrical shock to get them to move.

IATCG; although I"m not going to act all righteous, I do think this is the wrong thread for you to be asking these questions. Josh is NOT actively promoting gaming deals for Sears. I understand he still has to oversee their promotions but he isn't trying to drive traffic there through this thread. I also don't think it is beneficial to his time (regardless of what him taking the high road and saying he doesn't mind) to answer your clearance requests so you can ransack Sears video game department.

I do agree with what you're saying about moving old inventory. I think most of the games they have on clearance should just be dropped to $9.99 or less. At that point they can cut their losses while still bringing in a litle money and rebuild and be smarter with what they purchase and at what quantities.

Whaddya mean ransack Sears video game department? I actually only buy what I wanna play anymore(mainly due to the GS ban I have:lol:). Besides which, there's not much that's on clearance that I haven't seen cheaper elsewhere already, but I still prefer new over used if I have a choice.;)

But I only wanna know if there is some way at the corporate level to look up a true count of clearance items for the other chain that's actually part of the SHC corporate moniker.

That was my original intention with my post. I certainly did not intend for all of this offtopic banter and armchair modding to occur.
 
Slightly OFF TOPIC:
[quote name='JustYourAverageJoe']I bet a lot of people would take super high graphics at 2560 x 1600 on a 30"+ monitor than medium at 720p or 1080p on a 30"+ TV (because very few console games actually output at 720p or higher natively to achieve a smooth framerate; COD, for example, outputs at something like 540p to 600p, and is scaled up.) Setting aside the benefit of a larger screen (which any PC is also capable of outputting to, if desired), the jump from modern consoles to modern PCs cannot be underestimated.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='GBAstar']And how much does that 30" super resolution monitor cost? [/QUOTE]

That would be my 1st response. My second would be that I believe that more people have a 42"+ TV in their house than have any size monitor that would really take advantage of the increased resolution that a PC an offer. Look, I'm not saying that a good PC cant do things that a console cant. PCs have a horsepower advantage that's a FACT we can all agree on. My contention is that the horsepower advantage only produces a minimal 'real world' difference to the vast majority of people.

It's like the difference b/w 720p (usually scaled to 768p) and 1080p. There is an actual FACTUAL difference b/w the two, but it's hardly noticeable to most people. Combine that with the technical knowledge hurdle and most people are satisfied passing and just going with a console. About the only 'real world' advantage that PCs have (in certain types of games) is choice of input method. (RTS may never feel right with a controller).

[quote name='JustYourAverageJoe']The only "special" component you need is a dedicated GPU; there are no special processors, motherboards, etc. required for a good gaming PC. My CPU is the same one you could find in a manufactured desktop.[/QUOTE]

"Special" depends on how you define it. I think it's fair to say that the minimum specs for CPU, GPU, RAM, are ever evolving and what works today and can play every game today, may not (probably will not) play every game out in 5-7 years, particularly if you're not building your rig towards the high end. It is quite easy today to buy an off the shelf comp w/ a CPU that is insufficient for today's games already. And again, even if you meet the specs for the game you want today, there is no guarantee for tomorrow's games. You get insured hardware compatibility with consoles. That insurance, for many people, is worth giving up nearly imperceptible increased graphical fidelity.

It's really not hard to install a GPU. Once you know what part to remove, it is literally as simple as unplug, remove, plug in new one, done. Consoles are temperamental: RROD, YLOD. And (usually) about 5 years later you have to get the next version of it. And if we set aside super high-res monitors, even at 1080p computers still outperform consoles because resolution is not the sole factor in visual quality.

[quote name='GBAstar']The gap in quality between PC's and consoles when games like Myst first came out and the difference now is slowly closing.[/QUOTE]
I would say "somewhat." I think every time a new console generation comes out, the gap shrinks dramatically. But during the course of its lifespan, that gap begins growing at an accelerated rate. Console games are cutting corners now to try and keep both a stable framerate and solid graphics (see COD's low resolution, for instance.)

[quote name='GBAstar']For me personally I just like the "plug n play" feel to being able to throw in a game and play.[/QUOTE]
I can agree with you there. Don't get the completely wrong impression, as the 360 is still my lead platform in many ways, and I grew up on consoles, so I get where people come from with that.

Well, of course in 5-7 years your computer will be too old, much like consoles are soon to be outdated within that very same timeframe. You're holding it against PCs that they cannot meet a standard even consoles cannot meet.

False, they sell netbooks and tablets. False, they sell enough new ones to be significant. False, this discussion is the end result of discussing whether Kmart should carry PC games or not.

Josh invited the discussion. If people weren't talking about off topic stuff there would be nothing to discuss right now anyway.
 
I want to clear something up: I'm not the OT police. I don't really give a crap.

But to talk about Sears clearance without even telling people you're talking about something that pertains to another store in this thread is fucking ridiculous. It only ads to confusion. And then to say that it's ok to do so because other people are just lazy is the height of self centered insanity.

As for IATTCG, I can't believe he has the cojones to even ask SHC for help on anything after he spent months talking trash about him because SHC "killed sears clearance.'

SHC can't say it but if I were him, I'd tell IATTCG to go cram it with walnuts.

Netbooks/tablets... Can any of them play a modern PC game? No.

Do realize some people do like to come to this thread to see Kmart deals... I know shocking... only to find nothing related to deals outside the front page (which can be too wordy at times). This topic was created for Kmart deals and the support of those deals, the current talk is about PC configs/TVs and Sears Clearance... how is that not the defintion of "OFF TOPIC"...

Now you're just arbitrarily changing your questions to suit your answers. You didn't ask if Kmart sold high-end PCs (because yes, netbooks can run plenty of modern games, seeing as indie games qualify as modern games), you ask if they sold PCs. The answer is yes. A question of semantics determines the others.

The reason this arguably off-topic discussion is occurring is precisely because there's not much to discuss regarding Kmart's deals in the first place. It's been a lot of questions and discussions of those answers with Josh for the last while. Once more pertinent posts begin appearing and the deals and discussion related to them pick up, this OT fades away because attention will shift naturally to what's important. This happens all the time in discussion.

Forums abhor a vacuum.

Who cares that there isn't much to discuss?

In general, I dont see the problem with a little OT talk. I find it much more interesting than just the "Picked up XXX. Thanks" posts but maybe that's just me. "Dissertation" crack notwithstanding, my last post has been spoilered. Hope that makes someone happy.
 
Well, clearly the people that engage in excessive OT postings don't see the problem with a little OT, but the "picked up XXX, thanks" posts are actually helpful to the people that sometimes have issues with their stores or the deals. The more people that report they were able to complete a transaction, the easier it is for others in the area to feel comfortable about shopping at Kmart and for Josh to narrow in on the problems that occur in the store.

But, hey, if my little suggestion annoyed you as much as your long ramble has annoyed others, then yes, someone is happy. :roll:

We have Acer and Dell netbooks as well, including a Dell netbook/tablet w/touchscreen, as well as an Acer laptop. We also have the previously mentioned all-in-one 22" Gateway touchscreen PC as well. So we actually have a nice variety compared to this point last year, which was maybe one cheap sylvania netbook maybe?
 
So what games will be on sale nxt wk on the 17-23? I have a hard time keeping track of what's on sale here unless I read the last 5 pages of mostly non kmart related talk.
 
Went and bought the last ps3 copy of LA Noire today for 34.99. I get home, open it up, and there was no game disc inside. Plastic wrap wasn't tampered with or anything. Took it back and got a full refund and no hassle, but very strange. Will wait til tthe ps3 version goes on sale again, I have other games to get to.
 
Josh, Kmart been dropping the ball on deals lately give us something good haven't bought anything in weeks, when I was buying a game every week! Help us out man with the great deals we usually get!
 
Since Kmart is not selling it, I don't feel bad for letting people know on here. Buy.com has a $20 credit for Catherine (I think you have to wait the 45 day return period to use it though). I've never used them, so I can't say how good they are, but I'm considering taking the plunge on this one. It also comes with the soundtrack and art book for those wondering.

Addressing both comments: look under the spoiler in the following posts from original comment.

I ended up pulling the trigger on LA Noire. $34.99 is a great deal. Thanks Josh.

Sounds like someone is going to be going on sale soon!

Glad for the sale price. But it's not good prospects for games like this going forward, particularly multiplatform games that EA is just signing "publishing" deals on.

Those figures are probably worse than many JRPG's by NIS/Atlus sell, I'm sure EA didn't see that coming. Really these publisher agreements EA game out with a couple years ago don't seem to be working out so well. Crysis 2 had a MASSIVE budget from EA and it didn't live up to projections, Bulletstorm seemed to have lackluster sales, and this one isn't just lackluster it has to be considered a total sales disaster.

Insomniac's 1st multi-plat game might be next...

This is why we can't have nice things.

This is why fewer and fewer developers are trying to start up new IP's. This is why you're going to see Call of Duty 32 and Halo 48. This is why I hate the current state of gaming.

lol, i really hope CoD 32 and Halo 48 aren't coming out together, cuz that just means a crapload of halo games would be coming out each year to overtake CoD by that much lol --- but I mean SotD did have humor that either wouldn't be amusing to many people, or suitable for children right? plus, it didn't seem like it wasn't extremely advertised, i saw it many times on youtube but i watch a lot of youtube. idk tho, i could be wrong
