I made the rounds today at all of the TRU's in the St. Louis area. This is what I managed to find and each store:
1) Northwest Plaza / St. Ann, MO:
Dynasty Warriors 4 (XB0x)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy (XBox)
Wallace and Grommitt: Project Zoo (XBox)
Worms Blast (GC)
2) West Florissant / Ferguson, MO:
Wario World (GC)
Fatal Frame (XBox)
Freaky Flyers (Xbox) - $7.50, on the "official TRU list"
Dynasty Warriors 3 (Xbox) - $14.99, on the "official TRU list"
3) Mid Rivers Mall / St. Peters, MO:
Metal Dungeon (XBox)
SWAT: Global Strike Team (XBox) - $9.98, on the "official TRU list"
Blinx: The Time Sweeper (XBox, non-PH) - $9.98, on the "official TRU list"
4) Clarkson / Chesterfield, MO:
Otogi: Myth Of Demons (XBox)
5) S. Lindbergh / Crestwood, MO:
Hunter: The Reckoning - Redeemer (XBox)
6) S. Lindbergh / South County, MO:
SSX 3 (XBox)
Harry Potter & The Sorceror's Stone - $9.98, on the "official TRU list"
Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu (XBox)
Some ones I didn't find and woud like to have found:
The Sims (XBox)
Blood Omen 2 (XBox)
Summoner 2: A Goddess Reborn (GC)
I had Tenchu (XBox) checked at most of the stores I was at, and it came up as full price of $29.95. One store rep told me they "un-sale'd" some of the items on the list, so that's might be why it's YMMV on some items, like Tenchu. Same for the Rebel Strike III Demo Disc, which came up as full price of $9.98.
Overall, not a bad haul, especially when the notorious guy who wiped out things around here in the CC sale had made his rounds and cleaned out most of the good stuff, such as SSX 3, The Sims, Ikargua, etc., doing like $1000+ purchases in at least 2 or 3 stores I visited. Rumor is that he has an in with the distributors, which is why he's out as soon as the sale breaks. He's reselling them, as rumor goes, so if you can't find some items in the St. Louis area, blame him. I just did one copy for myself.
Also, the rumor is that they're supposed to get some restock in before the "official" start of the sale next weekend, so some of the missing items might be back in stock.
Most of the items I found were on the shelf or behind the locked case at alll of the TRU's I went to, though at least one of them had a "dump bin" with a few of the clearance games in it.
I saw Blinx (XB, non-PH), Harry Potter & The Sorceror's Stone (Xbox), Freaky Flyers (XBox), Dynasty Warriors 3 (XBox), and SWAT: Global Strike Team (XBox) on the "official" list that more than one TRU store was nice enough to show me, so they should be added to the list. Happy to scan reciepts for proof, if needed.
One last thing. Anyone have an opinion on the following games?
Metal Dungeon
Harry Potter & The Sorceror's Stone
Worms Blast
From the reivews, I'm thinking of taking them back and let someone else have them, so if someone thinks different, please let me know why you like 'em.
