This thread is for clearance-- not for sale items. Price reductions for clearance seem to happen on Monday, although not every Monday, but could also occur any day of the week depending on your store's price change team. Price adjustments on clearance are typically not allowed, but some have succeeded or have been able to do as return and rebuy.

Target often donates its older clearance titles to Goodwill stores, so keep that in mind when you're trying to find items. BigDirty: "Further reduction is possible when a game's price ends with 8 cents. However, when it ends in 4 cents it will NOT drop anymore. If it ends in 9 cents, it's just on sale or on a non-clearance reduction." Also, note that, typically, games will drop three times-- from 30%, 50%, then to the final drop of 75% off of the original price. Some people, however, have seen further drops up to 85%.

When games are marked down, the price change team typically find the game and scan it with their PDA/LRT to intiate the price change. However, in the case that they cannot find the game, they will either choose to not drop the price further or process the price change anyway, figuring that the game is somewhere in the store.

When posting deals, please include game, system, price, city and state. For example:
Debbie Does Skywalker, Xbox 360, $4.98
Mesa, AZ Power Road at Superstition Springs

Also, a great help when you're posting deals you've found is to check this post and see if your item's DPCI number is already listed. DPCI stands for Department, Class, Item-- it's Target's version of a SKU. These are a nine digit number that can always be found on your receipt and also on the red clearance tags on the item itself. DPCI numbers are handy to have when you want to check the item's price-- just go over to your scanner and punch in the numbers, if your scanners have keypads. Also, you can give these numbers to team members so they can check the availability of the item easily with their PDA scanners. Please post any DPCI numbers that are not already in the OP-- thanks!

Here is a fairly easy way to check your local Target's pricing-- often price tags will not be correct. Thanks to BigDirty for this:
1) Go to Half.com or a similar site. Search for the game to locate its UPC code number. It's in the gray box underneath the box art graphic.
2) Go to UPC Data ,Milk.com , or UPC Database and enter the code so you can print out the UPC. Go to Target and use the price scanners to scan your printouts.

Thanks to Mephitical for this tool for locating clearance titles, which is located here. Go to Amazon or Target to find the item's ASIN. When you find it, replace "B000O3IS48" in the URL with your item's ASIN. This will take you to a page asking you for your zip code. Type in your zip code and click enter-- this will display a list of local stores and whether or not they have your item in stock. YMMV on it working properly.

The lowest known price will be posted. The item could be higher or lower at your store. Numbers in yellow are DPCI numbers, which can be used to check the prices of items on newer scanners.

[quote name='Game_Dude_3']It depends. Rarely, the clearance games are behind the glass. I once saw Madworld for $20.xx behind the glass, but that's all I can recall. The rest are usually tossed into an end-cap display near the movies. Ask an employee working around the area, they'll point it out. There's usually large red 'Clearance' tags sticking out.

Clearance games will have little orange stickers on them with the indicated prices. I'd advise going to a price check machine anyway though, you never know if the sticker wasn't updated, or if the game was hidden and thus overlooked.

I haven't seen the NPC games going on clearance near me, but I've heard Pikmin dropped to $20.xx in some places.[/QUOTE]

It seems like there might be two types of clearance that Target does on video games. There are the games that every store clearances, although the rate at which the discount grows varies by the store. There are also certain games like the NPC Wii games and Secret Agent Clank for the PS2 that are on clearance at certain stores, but not on clearance at all at others. I have been to probably 10 different Target locations in SoCal in the last two weeks and not seen a single one where the NPC games were on sale, but instead they remained at full price, even when scanned. Similarly, I only saw Secret Agent Clank on sale at one of the ten stores. The others still have it at $20 and don't appear to be clearing it out. I know this doesn't really help, but the reality is that your local Target may not have these games on clearance now or in the near future.
 
Yeah, GH musta dropped to 75 percent, my Target had 20 and now they are all gone! At least I got Socom for 15.00 bucks, I didn't realize the headset retailed for 50 bucks...
 
I'm still waiting for the 8+ copies of SOCOM to drop to $15-30 at my local target.

They may have dropped in the past two days, so I'll probably check tomorrow.

I just want the headset for using with my cell phone. I don't need a PS3 game since I don't own a PS3.

Great deal. You should snag them all and then resell/trade/giveaway some cards. Lots 'o things to be done with those 12+1 month XBL cards; would kill for a deal like that!:applause:
 
I can confirm that the NCAA Football and Basketball 09 (both $15 at my store) games prompted the cashier to give me $10 gift cards. I scanned them first to make sure and the scanner said "gift card offer" next to the price.
 
Whew... I got the last :360: GH:WT Dual Guitar bundle at my local Target for $22

Last week there were 15+ (@ $44).
But I couldn't make it yesterday when they dropped to $22, and there was one left today. I didn't see much else around. The 3 copies of Fallout 3 expansion still weren't marked down, but a Harry Potter game was still in the case looks like it just started on clearance.
 
Anyone find Saints Row 2 CE or regular :360:? My local Targets and BB are being stingy or sold out. I'll be willing to pay a lil bit above cost if anyone had a spare one. Gotta be new tho.
 
[quote name='jimijumper']holyoke, ma target had 3 of the 500GB WD MyBook External HD clearanced out for $49.98...they wont last long...[/QUOTE]

Anyone think these will drop to 75%? Don't really need one.. but at $25, I would buy 25 of these.
 
Damn didn't realize those SOCOM bundles were $15 and they had 3 of them, was only really looking for Motorstorm PR, will have to see tomorrow when I'm in the area again if they ring up for it, were marked $40 or so.
 
Socom dropped to 30 at my target, 4 left. Waiting till it hits 15 to bite. There is also 2 copies of Warhawk for 15 bucks, once it hits 7.50, i'll bite.

man...hope to find some of those xbox 12+1 cards for that price! Lucky find.

I gotta go see if I can find Madworld somewhere anyway...
 
Picked up the dual GHWT guitars without slider for 22 bucks down at a palmdale ca target today.

22.48 (thats with game btw)
 
Were the 12+1 cards behind the glass or on an end cap? Did they have orange clearance stickers on them? Can anyone else confirm 12+1 for 25.00?

I picked up WWE Legends of WrestleMania (360) for 14.98 today...


Anyone in the Kansas City area I also saw at least two copies of SOCOM: Confrontation (with Mic) for 29.98...


It was the Target off of 169 and Barry Road (close to Metro North Mall.)
 
[quote name='mariosbrother']Found Nintendo DS: Drawn to Life for $13.98[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I've been trying to find that from Toy's R Us for $10 and not had any success. I suppose I could handle the extra $4, a lot better than $10 :D


Man, I really got to try and get there tonight, but first I have to go through the past several pages and write down everything everyone has found that I forgot to write down so I can check it all. Generally, my Target is behind, but they did update prices on most of the games, on what appears to be last Friday, maybe I will get lucky, but I think I will have to wait for prices to drop on these things.
 
Didn't see any 13month xbl card they only have the 12month >.> I saw a 500gb HDD for $50 like mentioned though. Didn't pick it up since I'm not really interested.
 
Tried calling a few Targets near me for the SOCOM: Confrontation bundle, but apparently the DPCI listed (207-24-0145) is for GHWT. Also, the store I contacted had the game for 41 and change.
 
How is X-Blades? I saw it for $15 too, but there's plenty of copies. So if the game isn't that good, I think I might just take a risk and wait for one last price drop to snag it.
 
Just got back from Target. Everything I checked was still priced higher:

Drawn to Life :ds: $19.99
Ratchet and Clank :ps3: $29.99
Patapon 2 :psp: $13.98
NPC Donkey Kong :wii: $29.99
NPC Pikmin :wii: $29.99
Monsters vs. Aliens :ps3: $34.98
Peggle :ds: $19.99

I think that was everything. I also check the live subscriptions and my store just had the 12 month cards, so it looks like I won't even have to watch for those :(

On a side note, definitely a good thing I made it to Target when I did on Saturday because they were pretty much wiped out of everything they marked down.
 
[quote name='180husher']I can confirm that the NCAA Football and Basketball 09 (both $15 at my store) games prompted the cashier to give me $10 gift cards. I scanned them first to make sure and the scanner said "gift card offer" next to the price.[/QUOTE]

YMMV. I tried at my store (Bloomfield Hills, MI) and no dice. $15 for NCAA futbol 09 but no gift card. I tried to argue unsuccessfully.
 
I can't believe how quickly the Guitar Hero double guitar sets went. 2 days ago there were like 30 left, and today I got the last one. $22
 
22? wtheck i thoguht i got a deal today when i got it for 40 at target in temecula CA
also picked up Wanted for 10 bucks.
was that a good deal?
 
Nabbed a copy of Wario Land Shake It! for $12.49 yesterday at the North Little Rock, AR Target. They've been on clearance for about a month now, but no one has touched them because they're locked away behind the glass. I'd say there are at least 5 or 6 copies left.
 
Bah, missed out on the external HD, it was marked with a clearnecne tag on the shelf but none to be found.

I also tried some 12+1 month cards, but they rang up 49.99. These were the ones that require activation though, couldnt find any clamshelf versions.

Motorstorm and Tomb Raider underworld for 7.48,

Mirrors edge for 13.98,

GRAW 2, motorstom pacific rift, socom confrontation, wanted,
