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

My TRU clearance bin was pretty empty for 360 games outside of a lot of copies of Virtua Tennis 3, Ratatouille, Open Seasn, and Eragon. I was able to get Earth Defense Force 2017 for $8 and Jam Sessions for $5 though.
 
It seems as if a lot of CAGs are grabbing Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz just to flip to get ahead by a few bucks in store credit at GameStop. Seems as if a fair number of stores had a handfull or more when it hit $5, I wish my store had at least one copy so I could get a copy to keep :(
 
Just got off work and decided to check a tru near my work. Last time at my local try all I could find was Blue Dragon. So this time I just said screw it and just asked the guy working there if there were any clearance games left. All they had were a few ds games and a couple ps2 and wii games, but all rated E...blah But then he goes, "Oh wait, someone just returned a couple games that rung up cheap." So he went in the case and grabbed a stack, nothing good except Oblivion ps3, so I took that of course. $8

If they had more I would have grabbed them, since I knew a lot of cags were looking for it. I was also looking for Monkey ball, no go. I guess thats a big flipping item. I wanted to play it though, ehh whatever. Oblivion for $8 is fine by me.
 
Stopped by a huge and new store and was completely floored that they had no "clearance bins or sections". Hell, I asked about the Skype headset for PSP and the clerk told me they hadn't gotten anything for the psp in months...
 
[quote name='KingofOldSchool']I found numerous comes of Forza 2 for $9.98 at the TRU at Castleton in Indianapolis. Which it would be just bit over $7 after 20% and tax.[/QUOTE]

the tru I was at had some of those as well, is it worth 7.98? Is the trade in value worth anything on that? Maybe I should have grabbed a few, and returned them if I didn't want them. edit: nvm tiv is $4
 
[quote name='gunm']Anecdotal note for OP: EBA and Magical Starsign were both $9.98 at my TRU.[/quote]

my TRU had these prices as well...

2 Magical Starsign and a boatload of EBA
 
[quote name='yukafls']Any one find Splinter Cell Essentials or Syphon Filter Dark Mirror for the PSP?????[/quote]

bump for help
 
Monday is the official price drop D-day at TRU. Wonder what will happen tomorrow, since most of the cheap clearance games were pretty much in either BBV or GS now. Will def. check out TRU tomorrow.

same here, I'll check it out right after work. Unless I'm too tired, I will start at 4:30 am tomorrow, so I'm hoping some cags post...
 
[quote name='yukafls']bump for help[/QUOTE]

I haven't seen Splinter Cell Essentials for months. It dropped to $5.00 in I think Feburary so it's unlikely most people will find it

for the sake of the indianapolis school system, i hope you meant just a bit over $8 after 20% off and tax....if we get to the point where we can't calculate a fifth of $10, god help us...
 
Is FEAR worth the $7.98? I'm not a big fan of scary games and I have a plethora of FPS's in my backlog, but I want to know if it's one of those 360 must haves. Thanks!
 
[quote name='UCLAevo']redwood city tru had condemned 1 and shadowrun for x360 for $9.98[/quote]

Wait, the first condemned is on clearance too?
 
[quote name='IcyFlame']Monday is the official price drop D-day at TRU. Wonder what will happen tomorrow, since most of the cheap clearance games were pretty much in either BBV or GS now. Will def. check out TRU tomorrow.[/quote]

No new clearance drops this week. I only saw a few regular price games going down $10 or so (about 5 games at my store). Not too exciting. I'm always checking the price changes at my store on thursdays when the report prints out. If I do see anything I will usually give a heads up on that day for the following week unless someone else already has.

Do you guys want to trade for SMB?

What titles did you get at TRU or any you want to trade.

Are you guys in Los Angeles by chance? oldboy what area are you in LA?


I picked up 5 extra. I was gonna flea-bay(teh ebayz) em or trade'em. But dont mind trading or selling at cost to fellow CAGarooo brothers.:grouphug:



errrr or sisters if you are female.
 
[quote name='ThisIsJackBauer']me and my friend today went to TRU and got 7 RotSS for 4 bucks eaqch and i also got a 4 buck GC memory card 251[/quote]
where was this?
 
[quote name='deadlykeyboard']Went back today and got my money back before the 20% clearance prices.

Awesome.[/quote]
How far back were those purchases? The store I went to wouldn't do it unless they have the same clearance items in stock.
 
[quote name='darkslime']I found one FF at TRU and bought that.
If I go to Best Buy and show them the game + receipt will they PM it?[/quote]

Doubtful, since most stores won't PM clearance prices.
 
Wow, I went to the distant TRU and picked up The Outfit and Prey for $4 each.

Valkyrie Profile 2:Silmeria was there for only $8 and I picked up one of those. For that price, I may pick up another just to keep sealed.

Disgaea 2 rang up as $42.99? Or that's what he said... maybe I should get some confirmation on that.

Otherwise, they had a whole bunch of SMB:BB and F4:RotSS. I picked up a bunch to flip, but they still had more. It was in MD.

[/quote] Its the truth. THey were at my TRU also. Got one at Kmart for $12 a couple weeks ago, so maybe you should try there.

Is Yakuza worth 8 bucks? My TRU has a ton behind the counter because that's where they keep all the M-rated games and no one notices them.
 
Well, thanks to this thread I now have a brand new Wii for $46 :D . Found 1 copy of FF Dirge of Cerebrus for $8 for myself and 8 copies of FF4 for $34 which I traded in to 6 different BB for a total of $240 in less than 24 hours. Gonna do some long TRU runs to see if I can't get some Wii games at a cheap price. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to the thread so far.
 
Got Jam Sessions today. Disappointed that all the Jeanne D'Arce or whatever were gone. My store had a ton of them when they dropped to 19.98 or whatever, but I really haven't been there since.

Your Blockbuster still accepts trade-ins?
 
[quote name='viernes3am5']Why wouldn't they?[/quote]

Mine in NYC has stopped:(

Does anyone in NYC know of any BBs that still take trade-ins?
 
[quote name='Akira119']Just picked up two xbox 360 Wheels (Microsoft's version) for $20 each (after 20% off clearance) in the Grand Rapids, MI area.[/quote]

This one? for $20? :hot:
 
I believe so since he said official. I just love random price drops, but hate how YMMV they can be. Who knows? Sometimes you have to price check everything:D
 
[quote name='Mr.Bojangles']Mine in NYC has stopped:(

Does anyone in NYC know of any BBs that still take trade-ins?[/quote]

Er, they may be feeding you BS.

You may be banned from that store if you've been doing some suspicious activity in the way of trade ins (and they don't want you to make a scene) OR they already have too many of a particular game in stock.

I guess it's possible that they really did stop taking trade ins, but I'm sure that other NYC BBVs will be able to accept them for you.
 
[quote name='Mr.Bojangles']Mine in NYC has stopped:(

I've been to 7 different BBVs in my area and every single one of them has been open to trade-ins. You might want to try a different BBV in your area.

Hey, i got one of those for $20 too. It was the last one they had. It was at the Irving, TX store. Also got 5 F4, 4 SMB, 1 third-party memory card for ps2 for $2, and a gamecube 251 memory card for $4 (they had a bunch).

BBV?(BlockBuster Video?)

Well the only used games are old-gen games. It is the one on 76 street and 1st on the Upper East Side. I just started going there a few months ago since my old and favorite BB closed down a year or so ago:(
