CAGiversary!

Edit by Io - The most recent (1/26) drops are in the very beginning of the second post, so look there first!

------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT -- Feb 4th
Things have changed drastically since I started this thread and I've gone from a quality control monitoring job with other duties thrown in to monitoring double the amount plus the work of others. Bascially, I now do the job of three comparing the company now to that of a year ago thanks to layoffs and not hiring to replce people leaving. Plus I generally work 6 days a week and often ten hours with no break. I'd quit, but I have a hunch that our department will be hubbed in another city around July and I might as well hang in for the layoff package. Basically, this means I have zero time for internet and thread managing the way it should be done. My trade list and pm box fall by the wayside and I hardly email or even check my facebook/myspace. I didn't even find time to manage my fantasy football team and will completely forego baseball.

I know IO is busy enough as it is with a couple of threads, but if anyone wants to take over this thread and start a new one, please do so. Of course, I should have all the time in the world to keep it up to date if you want to wait unitl around July.

I got tired of going to TRU for the most recent clearance drops only to find more here on CAG from one of the three threads after I got back from the store. So I've compiled a list from the posts of Starving Gamer, Benboxer, life.exe, cmosfm, Kevzik's pics of lists at his store, the lists I saw at local TRUs and the many posts of awesome CAGs in those threads. I am by no means associated with TRU and I don't have inside information on upcoming drops, but I wanted to post a consolidated list to help other CAGs. As new drops occur Benboxer, Starving Gamer and anyone else is welcome to post new lists here and/or in seperate threads for more attention for the new items and I'll update the OP for total lists. Please keep in mind that some of these games are YMMV on price and as with all ongoing clearances availability is always YMMV as well. Most 9.90, 5.00 and 3.00 games are from the recent drop of a couple weeks ago. Thanks again for everyone's contributions and especially those early lists. I wanted to get this up and running and will do some tidying to the list as necessary. I'm not familiar with every game on the list so feel free to post or pm inconsistencies in titles!

NEW PLEASE READ SEE POST #2 FOR LATEST DROPS
A few things about pricing. All of the last round of drops are 9.90, 5.00, or 3.00. A lot of the 9.90 games were 19.98 before, most of the 5.00 were 9.98 and most of the 3.00 were 5.00. So if you see a game that is 19.98, chances are it may drop to 9.90 next drop which will probably be in a few months. As with any clearance a lot of these games may have been sold out at your store before they were even clearanced and now that the latest drop has been at least a month those games may be hard to find now, too. I do still see several 19.98 some 9.90 and some 5 & 3 games in this area. Don't forget to check the glass case and you can ask if a game is in back as sometimes this is the case.

Don't forget to post your trade wishes and wants in the Official TRU Trading Thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121672

READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHECKING THE LIST
Games in blue are from the latest drop, most of which were on clearance already at higher price points.
Games in green are VERY RARE games from the latest drop that were originally shipped to stores in VERY LIMITED quantities when the game was released and only a very few CAGs have found these.
Games in Yellow are have been widely reported as YMMV as pertains to price point.
Games in Orange are new reports that are awaiting confirmation

[quote name='vanlandw']Badass I hope my TRU busts out some new PS3 titles last time I've gone they haven't had jacksquat :'([/quote]

It's just an extra 20% off of already clearanced items. Nothing new is being added on friday.
 
With the price adjust for the 20% off clearance. Will that apply if the stuff is purchased at a different store.

For example, my local store has nothing. Can I go to another store today, buy the games I want on clearance. Return to my local store with my receipt on Friday (which has none of these games in stock and get the difference back?
 
I picked up the following yesterday:

:psp: Jeanne D'Arc $9.98
:ps2: FF XII $5.00
:ps2: Black $5.00

I left behind:

:psp: Jeanne D'Arc $9.98
:psp: Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon $9.98
:psp: Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror $9.98

:ps2: 24: The Game $9.98
:ps2: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria $9.98 (I think I'll go back and grab this one)
:ps2: Sopranos $5.00
:ps2: The Getaway: Black Monday $5.00

:360::ps3: Various '07 Sports Games $9.98
 
[quote name='msuna']How do i tell what's clearance vs a drop in the list???[/quote]

Clearance prices end in .98, .90, or .00

Such as 19.98, 9.98, 9.90, 5.00 are all valid examples of a clearance item at TRU. There might be more that I don't know about seeing as how I don't work there.

I only see .98 or .00 at my locations.
 
just got back. picked up FF VI GBA ($29.99) and FF V GBA ($4.98). they were having a sale on GBA games. buy 1 get 1 half-off. there were about 5 more FF V there when i left. the FF V were priced at $9.98 each. ok haul today.
 
Managed to pick up

Splinter Cell DA 360 - 5 last copy!
Oblivion PS3 - 9.98

Like I asked earlier, can I take these to my local store once the sale starts and ask for a price adjust or do I have to take them to the same store?
 
[quote name='jaysapathy']My local TRU had probably a dozen of those with the novel -- the big thick packages. They're not as hard to find as everyone seems to think they are.[/quote]


You're confusing Enchanted Arms (which came with the graphic novel and is easy to find for $10) and Eternal Sonata (which is nowhere to be found).
 
[quote name='Brainwave0']You're confusing Enchanted Arms (which came with the graphic novel and is easy to find for $10) and Eternal Sonata (which is nowhere to be found).[/quote]


No, I'm not. I was just down there today, and it comes with some crazy-ass book. Enchanted Arms is sitting next to it, and is a shitty as hell game. Picked it up for $10 + tax earlier.

Going back tomorrow to clean out what's behind the counter. There's about 5 more games on hold for me. :D
 
[quote name='hostyl1']@ Will: re personal quote - You a Nick Manning fan or a Howard Stern fan? :)[/QUOTE]


lol..both...
 
While looking for a $9.xx Blue Dragon (which I never found), I did find a Blue Dragon game guide for $0.01. The cashier did a triple take and rang it through, but I did buy 3 $5 :ps2: games at the same time.
 
Got:

Beatmania+controller for $4.98
HD-DVD Add-on Player(no Kingkong HD movie) for $9.98 (use for backing-up HD)

Disgaea 2 is still $49.99. no love
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Picked up today

Every Extend Extra $9.98
Exit $5.00
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow $9.98 (possible YMMV)[/quote]

You can get Syphon Filter LS at Target for the same price.

You pretty much got it. You only have to look for the last number though.

Clearance is either xx.x8 or xx.x0. As long as they end with 8 or 0.

However, there are some items in stores that are regular price but are catagorized as clearance in the computer. I havn't seen any of these in the video games section yet, I've only seen this for some remote control items and other misc. dolls and action figures.
 
Found one copy of Earth Defense Force 2017 at $9.98, purchased based on Cheapy's positive comments from a long-ago CAGcast...

They had a large bin of clearance games that was overflowing. You couldn't really rummage much below the top layers of games without spilling them all over the floor. There's plenty of floor space in the Rzone to have another bin and make it feasible to browse - even Circuit "SOMEBODY just buy us and put us out our misery" Ghetto does that - but no.

Message received, TRU: you give fuck-all about the customer experience. But I do appreciate that you had this game.
 
As some CAGs said, you could price adjust within 14 days of purchase. So bring your receipts in on Friday and you should be able to get the additional 20% off.

So this is legit and confirmed for tomorrow?

Thanks
 
[quote name='hiamiyumi']Got:

I wonder if the HD-DVD price goes for all versions of the drive....I know of one TRU that has a few but I'm not sure if they are Kong or non-Kong versions.
 
[quote name='hiamiyumi']Got:

HD-DVD Add-on Player(no Kingkong HD movie) for $9.98 (use for backing-up HD)
[/quote]

I'm having a slow mental day... help me out:
How do you use the HD-DVD player for backing up HD?
Is the HD you're backing up "Hard Drive" or "High Definition" or ?
 
I'm going to swing by mine again tonight. I went for the initial 20% and clearance to get stuff for all my systems, but now that I have the PS3 I'm going to give it a look and see if I can't jump start that library as well.

EDIT: Instead of a double post, I'll put it here. Just got back...not much there, but:

:360:
Meet the Robinsons
:ps3:
Full Auto 2: Battlelines
NBA 07
:psp:
PaRappa the Rappa

Unfortunately they didn't have any of the 360 HD-DVD drives...I was hoping to get one to place next to my Betamax... :p
 
just got parappa, jeane d arc and logans shadow woot.

I didn't see Syphon Filter Logans Shadow in the main post but i can confirm its 9.98 (nabbed the last copy :) )

now i have to return and rebuy tomorrow for the 20% sigh..........
 
Cant find anything at my local TRU, except about half a dozen copies of DDRU for the 360, which I might pick up since I got the DDRU2 bundle last year and the songlist wasnt my favorite.
 
Well, much to my surprise I actually found stuff I wanted at TRU. The ones near me have been a total bust for several months now such that I stopped even checking. But my son wanted to go so I thought I should bring the list and check it out. It turns out they actually had all the games stuffed into a tiny bin (much like gantt described - acres of empty space in the RZone but they use this tiny bin for the clearance stuff :roll:). Well, on the bottom row (of 3) I found SMB. Sweet, that game is acceptible for $5 (or $4 after adjustment Friday). Also got Jam Sessions. Even more shocking, though, was that they were all marked properly which makes it even more surprising they were still there.

So, are people sure you can just take the receipts for price adjustment? I haven't done anything like this at TRU for a while but I remember many a long delay at Customer Service dealing with stuff like this in the past. It certainly was never as easy as it is at Target or CC.

Also, since I did take advantage of the B2G1 on DS games I assume I need to price adjust those on Friday or Saturday before the B2G1 ends or they will end up adjusting the 3 games down but then charging me for the third (and not having it be free as it was yesterday). I think I remember having this problem before with TRU price adjustments - or maybe that was because they took the return/repurchase route.

I did pass on several PSP games (Parappa and Every Extend Extra and maybe one more) that I might get when I go back to price adjust. I also may get Forza 2 for $8 then, though that still seems like too much to me ;).
 
i hope i can get a price adjustment.... i got 5 hot shots tennis i was getting as gifts thought about returning (many of them will be getting a ps3 by xmas and didnt know if they would still play ps2 games)

but for 4.00 a pop (down from 5) i will probally just keep them....

if they do give the 20% discount i should get around 9 back

5 for tennis
and 4 for the Ds games i got

Jam sessions and sherk racing would be worth 4 each hell dump them for 2 bucks later this year it still be cheaper then a rental....

might go back tomorrow to see if they got anything good
 
Went back to TRU yesterday and picked up Oblivion @ $9.98.

Checked a Sears and they had nothing.

The one game I was really hoping to find is All Pro Football, can't find it at all anywhere :(
 
Found Dead Rising $9.98
Earth Defense Force $9.98
Stranglehold $9.98
Forza 2 $9.98

Prey $5.00
Blazing Angels 2 $5.00

Sorry guys if this was mentioned earlier....but I found Forza 2 and Blue Dragon listed for $9.98 which was not on the list.
 
At the Town East store in Mesquite, TX I swear I saw a ton of Blue Dragon's for 10 bucks a piece on the floor. Wasn't interested in it so I passed them by.

Also NFS: Carbon for 360 rung-up as 20, I thought that one was a cheapy but oh well. I saw a few more behind the counter, Splinter Cell and Stranglehold being notables for 5 and 10 dollars, respectively.

I passed on those however and just picked up FarCry and Hitman for about 16 out the door, very pleased with that. However, I had absolutely no luck with Xbox games, as this TRU doesn't even stock Xbox games anymore, including a very limited PS2 section so no-go on Okami. Which is unfortunate as I wanted that.

That being said, FarCry's manual smells like lemons.
 
I will give a free game from any system of your choise, not a sports game, to anyone who can provide me with anything in print about the 14 day price adjustment policy. A link would be great too. PM or just post.
 
i just shot an email to their main corporate site asking for the policy. I will post it as soon as they get back to me so calling dibs on the game :)

toysrus.jpg
can i get my game now? :)
 
[quote name='tarouza']thats refund not price adjust[/quote]


yea.... so you returned it for full refund then rebuy it on the spot.:bomb:.... done this numerous ttimes.... i was actually looking for one of my receipts to show you :(
 
yea, im wondering about since i just bought some games. Will try to get them adjusted tomorrow. Will i need to return and rebuy or can i just get it adjusted with receipt ? since i already opened 1 of the games :(
 
Finally picked up a 360 Media Remote for $9.98 today. Last one on the peg; although, at a different TRU, I saw a peg for $4.98 for the same thing. Also got the Art of Fighting 2 "gift box" for PS2 for $5. Debated getting Mercury Meltdown Revolution, but they had these awesome little vinyl Mario toys and picked up 2 of those (full price, $4.99 each) instead. :p
 
grabbed n3 and prey for 15 bucks tonight

also noticed many copies of super monkey ball in a red shipper by the main registers up front (not r-zone)...scanned and indeed they were $5. must've been 10 copies!
 
Regarding "price matching" I've been told by a cashier one time that I had to wait before the items were on the floor again before I could buy them. I would have done it except I waited until the last day and I wasnt sure if they would have been back on the same day, plus, I wasnt going to wait around for 5 hours until they decide to restock all of there returned items >_

You paid $15 for Prey o.o? I paid $5 and think it didn't worth it at all.
 
I'll go back tomorrow, hopefully I can score some good ones before everything is eventually taken off shelf.
