Not sure if this is a universal price drop or not, but while i was there today i noticed these two games are now price cut (aka permanent price drop) to $19.99 each. This is only for the 360 version of SSFIV, didnt see ps3 in the cases.

To clarify, these are NOT clearance prices, they are marked as "Price Cut". This is targets way of saying that so-and-so item has a new lower price.

edit- here's some more price cuts i just remembered all for 360:

Bioshock- $14.99
Iron Man 2- $19.99
Bioshock 2- $29.99
Forza 3- $29.99
Kane and Lynch 2- $39.99 (may be $29.99 cant remember)
Blur- $49.99

Confirmed at the Target in Springfield PA (the one connected to the Springfield Mall), Super SFIV for $19.99 on 360, price drop not clearance.

One copy left in the plastic prison as of about 15 mins ago.
 
Stopped by a Target in Phoenix, AZ but wasn't a 'price drop'. The tag showed $39.99. I'll try another location and hope I'm successful.

** SCORE! Found one last night for $19.99 but it was not marked with a "price cut" tag. I had to find it mixed in with the other games. Good luck to you who are looking for it. **

Was able to get SSF4. It was the last one out of the three stores I went to.

I did also notice that AvP for both

had a price cut to 29.99
 
[quote name='Gersson']why not just call instead of going over there? :p

That's what I'm-a-gonna do[/QUOTE]

Gotta have an excuse to get out of the house once in a while lol.
 
[quote name='dewat']mass effect 2 is only $9.99 at blockbuster.[/QUOTE]

Blockbuster deal is USED only (and prior rental at that) and it does NOT include the Cerberus code (1200MSP//$15 on XBL)

Toys R Us has Mass Effect 2 for $14.99 ($19.99 + 25% off clearance)
AND Buy 2 Get 1 Free this week.


For example today I got the following in store (Jamboree, Irvine, CA) via TRU B2G1Free sale
$19.99 - 25% off = $14.99 Mass Effect 2 :360: (last copy)
$18.98 - 25% off = $14.23 Riddick Assault on Dark Athena :360:
$16.98 - 25% off = $00.00 RockBand Country Track Pack :360: (wanted the DLC code)

$29.22 + $2.56 tax = grand total $31.78 (a little over $10 each)

Mix and match to your pleasure, but $14.99 for NEW ME2 even without B2G1F is a great deal if you can find one!
Good luck hunting...
 
Grabbed two copies of Super Street Fighter 4 for 360 at the Tulsa target. Definitely said "Price Cut". Got one for me and one for the bro who lives out of town so that we can play :D.
 
Stopped Burbank Target on the way home to pick up a copy of SSFIV; couldn't see quite exactly how many they had, but it seemed anywhere from 3-5 or more in the display case.
 
[quote name='Digital Idiot']I grew up in that time too. I paid 100 bucks for my copy of Phantasy Star IV; I think my copy of Strider was 90.

But this is no longer the era of cartridges with expensive chips and no way to update after release. Updates/Patches to games that rebalance, or add new content or play modes happen all the time in current gen games. Not to mention DLC that keeps games new, fresh and fun a year or more after release (hi Borderlands, Fallout)

There is no reason for Capcom to stay mired in the past, when they could probably make more money selling DLC as well as a GOTY or updated disc. (see RE 5 Gold)

It's cool if you thought it was worth it, but as a CAG to the core, and with 800+ other games in my collection, the additions they made to SSFIV did not seem worth my money, or my time. At 50% off, it turns into a real prospect for me though, since that is what I would have paid for DLC if they had chosen to release it that way.[/QUOTE]

What in the world does buying Phantasy Star and Strider have anything to do with Street Fighter? Just cause they're expensive? This isn't the argument you're contributing to. Capcom has ALWAYS released updated versions of Street Fighter. SF II has countless reiterations. Same for SFIII. If anyone was surprised when this game was announced, then they seriously have not been playing Street Fighter very long.

I don't understand the mentality of people who seriously think that Super Street Fighter IV could have been DLC. The new characters ALONE should justify the new game. Not to mention the new levels, themes, character balancing tweaks, new moves/ultras, and the new online modes. If you really had preferred Capcom to nickel and dime you every single feature, you'd probably be paying way more than the $40 this game retailed at. Not to mention the ridiculous amounts of storage space that would require.

RE5 Gold is a poor example. There are no changes made to the main game. Everything you're getting in Gold (and DLC) are additions which are separate from the main game. (Such a crappy game, btw) The DLC that does carry over to SSFIV from vanilla SFIV are the costumes because they are cosmetic changes that don't change the main game.

I paid $20 for SSFIV on day one because of Amazon credit, but the fact that its price was $40 was still more than a great deal for the sheer amount of content that's in the game. Again, if someone feels that $40 for the stuff that's in SSFIV was too much, then they're clearly not big fighting game fans.

-True CAG to the core with 800+ hours of Street Fighter playtime.

PS

This is a great deal for an incredible game. :cool:
 
Haven't played either of the ME games but definitely interested.

I noticed the PH version of ME1 includes the downloadable content. I think I'll wait for the GOTY/PH version of ME2 as well. I don't have LIVE on my 360 (no interest in connecting online) so the only way for me to get the DLC is to buy them on the GOTY/PH editions.

And besides, there's no way I'd get to these anytime soon. Too busy nowadays and barely have any time to play. Also, I really want to get NBA 2K11 and Vanquish first.
 
Just picked up SSFIV for $20 at a local Target.

I actually thought it was a price mistake, and then I found this thread.
 
thanks OP! went in target and noticed that it was still marked for 39.99. I asked the associate to please scan it anyway and it rang for 20
 
Just buy SSF IV. I played sf IV and was hooked and Super feels like more than just DLC. Besides I bought both for $20 bucks and I definitely got my money's worth.
 
[quote name='Monsta Mack']Blur is really dead, in fact when I was playing with a friend there were a whopping 88 players online (360 version) but the single player is still damn fun.[/QUOTE]

This is a shame, because this is a very fun game online.
 
[quote name='kylerg']So is this perm or not? Still on the fence![/QUOTE]


Not necessarily perm, temp cuts have been known to go back up any day of the week...
 
Do we known when mass effect 2 goty or plat hits version is coming out? I'm very interested in getting the original release of the game for 10 or so dollars on clearance. My understanding is only the shadow broker dlc is must have? That plus 10 for the game is a decent price although I would prefer 5 for the game but I have a feeling it will be all bought up by then.

Word has it that they'll release an Ultimate Edition like they did for Dragon Age sometime in January when ME2 comes to PS3.

I think it was just a rumor or something, but who knows.

Well I'm patient. So I was just reading reviews of the shadow broker dlc and found out its good story stuff but only 2 hours long and costs 10 dollars! Would it be best to get me2 on clearance and just read a wiki article for the shadow broker stuff? I just can't see spend 10 on 2 hours of dlc when I hope to get the full game at that price! Any thoughts on this?
 
I bought SSFIV last week because of this thread and at $20, I'm pretty happy with it. I truly don't see why it couldn't have been DLC, though. Actually, because of that, the price finally feels like it's at the sweet spot. The added characters, stages(which look great) and Ultra Moves make SSFIV feel more complete than SFIV. You know that phrase "variety is the spice of life"? Yeah, that definitely applies here. When you can play VS. against randomly selected CPU opponents and have a great time, that's the mark of quality. If you liked Street Fighter IV and want a good excuse to dust off your Shoryuken, I say get it at that price.

[quote name='specialist']Capcom has ALWAYS released updated versions of Street Fighter. SF II has countless reiterations. Same for SFIII. [/QUOTE]Just because they "always" have, doesn't mean they shouldn't change. DLC was practically non-existent on consoles when SFII & SFIII were out. That isn't the case today. People grew to resent Capcom releasing multiple retail updates of Street Fighter games and voted with their wallets. Why else would Capcom take a decade to release SFIV?

Characters, stages, music, stories, all quite common features in the DLC of other games. Tomb Raider: Legend from back in 2006 had TR: Anniversary--an entire second game that had a retail release--as DLC. There are plenty of other examples of massive content being both DLC and retail releases, especially lately.

Capcom already does nickles-and-dime on DLC(see below).

Ridiculous storage space required doesn't stop Microsoft from making full retail games downloadable on Xbox Live or people from buying the latest COD or Halo map packs.

[/QUOTE]$40 isn't bad at all for SSFIV alone. However, add to that the $60(or $80 in my case for the Special Edition) for the original game that a lot of people paid, the $20(or more) worth of on-disc DLC costumes that are locked away(minus the $4 pack that came with the SE), the cost of XBL Gold needed to use most of SSFIV's new modes(if you don't already have Live Gold, which I do not), and factor in the removal of SFIV's Time Trial and Survival offline modes and the $40 "deal" really doesn't look that great. To clarify, I am NOT saying SSFIV is a bad game or it isn't worth it. Only that the price is not a strong point of SSFIV's. The $20 it is now is where it should have been all along.

Was this for the 360 version or PS3?
 
$20 is a steal for SSFIV. I paid $40 for it at launch and have got my money's worth and a lot more out of it. I understand the DLC argument and while it may seem like that on the surface, you'll find when you look deeper that it really is an entirely different game.

Anyways, any of you CAGs that just picked up the game for the 360 should stop by the SSFIV thread. We have a tag called CAG Fighter IV to help connect CAG fighting game players. We usually get together Wednesday nights around 9PM EST, any of you guys are welcome to join! Just add the tag in my sig to your friends list.
 
I have also confirmed the prices for ME2 and SSF4 for Xbox360. Have not seen the PS3 versions in stock however.

Would have been nice to have bought the PS3 version of SSF4 at this price. Bought SSF4 for the PS3 a while back but put off on playing it until I could get a decent fightpad.

I just saw your reply, didn't know I was having a heated debate with so many people lol. In any case, BlueSwim answered your post much more eloquently than I could have, so there you have it.

FWIW, I played SSFIV for a few hours, and then put it down to play something less stress inducing. :D With so few hours in the day, I doubt I'll ever find time to get good enough to play online; the online matchmaking is still broken as it ever was, pitting hardcore SF junkies against noobs.

Maybe I'm not a "true" fan as some would say (IE I'm a "scrub" because I enjoy playing with my friends, not competition style), but over the years I'm pretty sure that SF and Capcom fighters in general are the games I've played the most.

Yeah, I like what I got for $20. Wouldn't have paid $40 for it though.
 
I put in 40+ hours into SuperSF4 and roughly the same in SF4...it's definitely worth it and I argued in the beginning about why it wasn't DLC. Technically, I suppose it COULD have been. 8 characters, completely new interface, completely different online system, and most importantly - BALANCE TWEAKS. Had this just been new characters and possible balancing, it'd be more realistic releasing it digitally, but it's not. A lot has changed.


On top of all of this, I think the biggest reason they released it on disc is because not everyone has an internet connection to be able to download it.
