CAGiversary!

Nobody home here. The trolls and the juvenile drama chased me away.

I thought CAG was a supportive community, but I was wrong, apparently.

You're free to let someone else man the thread now; I understand J7 has a lot of free time on his hands and has been trying to circumvent the thread from me for a few months.

I just don't have the patience for the children anymore.

Cheers.

Went to go use my $30 batman gc and picked up resistance 2 CE and dragon quest VIII. What's the deal with DQ8, did they find a lost stock or something in the main warehouse and spread it out to the various stores?

On an older note... do you guys remember when, if at all, TRU got rid of their GBA pokemon games? I remember a year ago they had a little section in the DS games aisle that had pokemon emerald, leafgreen, etc. but when I went back a month or so later it seemed like it just dissapeared. Did they get clearenced(and possibly hoarded) or were they possibly sent to another store?

All GBA games were clearanced for $5 each recently, including the Pokemon games.
 
Fail in Pensacola FL. This has to be one of the worst areas for deals ever. It's been so dry for so long. Last decent deal I got was the best buy 10.00 360 games..

Side note :

They did have Dragon Quest 8 for 10.00. Is it worth it? I just got a ps2 for my JRPG fix.

It is worht it if you bought a PS2 just for your JRPG fix. I liked it and paid $20 and had fun with it. Kind of kiddie though.

I don't want to bring up the official vs unofficial issue again, but I was just reading the unofficial thread and thought this was very funny.
Also I don't know how to quote from a closed thread so please forgive me.

This is funny because it is so true, especial for me. This might sound like bragging or being super cheap, but I'm not trying to come off that way.
I'm in a similar situation as bgame2, I have a good career and I make a very good living (in financial field), I have a wife (stays at home) and a 1 year old daughter. Our lifestyle is towards the high side, but we can afford it. But I also try to get better deals or use coupons when possible. And I will not buy video games at full price...that just dumb.

At $60, I don't even think about buying a game because my wife can buy a dress for my daughter or we can go out for dinner.
At $30, I think about it but usually pass on it because the money could be used for formula/diapers/baby stuff.
At $20, I don't buy because I know it will be less than $15 in a few week/months. Plus I have a lot of backlog.
At $15 or less, I buy because it's equal to my lunch.
I got most of my games either at $10 or $5 or free.

A dollar saved is a a dollar earned, and that dollar goes to my daughter's education, wardrobe, toys, well being, etc.
And lastly, no matter how much you make, your wife and children can and will find a way to use it.

I really appreciate this website and all the contributing members.

First off, no new updates to report.

Second,
[quote name='cheeky']
I was told by a manager that the vendor is called Game Factory
.
[/QUOTE]

It was close, the trade in games get sent to Gamers Factory. So it looks like you can check your TIV's before hand
 
I love how some ppl think that just because you can afford to pay full price for something, means it's the smart thing to do. The attorney who posted just continues to prove how smart he is by the fact that he doesn't waste his income. Clearly he's still spending his money, but he just gets to buy more things for the same buck.

And my thanks also go to the op and all the positive contributers of this thread. The rest of you are just acting either your age or IQ.

Just give it a rest and contribute.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']Resistance 2 is on clearance? How much? I didn't see it listed in the OP.[/QUOTE]
As I had said it's missing a lot of updates. Resistance's price probably isn't old enough to put in the OP (it was posted on August 3rd). Give it a few more weeks or just look here.

Toys R Us Clearances & Markdowns
----------------------------------INFO--------------------------------
- When reporting finds please use this format:

DS – SKN - game name - $19.98 (former price)- $9.98 (current price)

- Please include SKN #'s if possible.
- Dates are when prices were changed by TRU or original/further drops reported by CAG members.
- Note: Games are often price dropped numerous times, i.e. down to $19.98 then to $9.98 & then to $5.00 & then possibly $3. So a game reportedly dropped to $5 may have already sold out weeks earlier.
- Games may not be marked at their current prices. TRU clearances and markdowns are generally nationwide so they should ring up at a clearance/markdown price.
- If you buy a game that later drops in price you can either get an employee to refund you the difference, or if they can’t, then return and rebuy the items.
- sometimes stores will mark their items down sooner than other stores based on sales/inventory.
- Most TRU’s offer store credit for trade-ins, which you must bring to the service area and have ID.
- Do not talk about selling/reselling.
- Do not call TRU and ask about clearances.
- FOR TRADING:

Hello all, has anybody tried to trade in games to Toys R Us after checking the Gamer Factory site to see if the TIV are the same? If not, I can roll up there tomorrow morning and see what the deal is. Got the DDR Universe, Afro Samurai and Guitar Hero Aerosmith that have some nice trade in values on the site.
 
[quote name='Readthepost']

This is funny because it is so true, especial for me. This might sound like bragging or being super cheap, but I'm not trying to come off that way.
I'm in a similar situation as bgame2, I have a good career and I make a very good living (in financial field), I have a wife (stays at home) and a 1 year old daughter. Our lifestyle is towards the high side, but we can afford it. But I also try to get better deals or use coupons when possible. And I will not buy video games at full price...that just dumb.

At $60, I don't even think about buying a game because my wife can buy a dress for my daughter or we can go out for dinner.
At $30, I think about it but usually pass on it because the money could be used for formula/diapers/baby stuff.
At $20, I don't buy because I know it will be less than $15 in a few week/months. Plus I have a lot of backlog.
At $15 or less, I buy because it's equal to my lunch.
I got most of my games either at $10 or $5 or free.


And lastly, no matter how much you make, your wife and children can and will find a way to use it.

I really appreciate this website and all the contributing members.

You buy $60 dresses for a one year old??? Hell if I would put a $60 dress on something that shits itself 4 times a day...that just dumb. (No offense to your daughter, as you said your family's lifestyle is highend so I'm sure her shit doesn't stink.) Maybe your stay at home wife could make the $60 dress herself since she doesn't work and then you could go spend that $60 on the new Batman game instead of having to play that copy of Golden Compass you scored at TRU for $5.

Most of the values I checked(Little Big Planet, Saint's Row 2) were about $1-1.50 more than Rapestop and FYE. If that's their idea of 'paying more than other places', it's a fuckin' joke.

I guess I'll be keeping my games until I try and sell my fat PS3 to someone for $275 or so and offer up a couple of them at a discount to whoever buys it.
 
Because it's the new favorite thing to bitch about, Resistance 2 has been added to the OP, although it was mentioned numerous times in jdawgg's thread (long before mine). Because of the age of it, I've greened it. You DO know there was a thread before mine, and it has really old info, right..?

Oh wait, that would require effort, and it's easier to just whine about being spoonfed, and taking occasional jabs at the OP because it 'looks cool'. :roll:
 
You're taking things a little personal. I saw a game, new to me, and clarified that it was not in the OP to prevent someone from saying "CHECK THE OP, YOU N00B"

Well, I certaintly don't flip out when someone says that in the Target thread. I check to see if it's there, and if isn't, add it. I wasn't trying to complain about your work in the TRU thread, Jay.

I don't want to bring up the official vs unofficial issue again, but I was just reading the unofficial thread and thought this was very funny.
Also I don't know how to quote from a closed thread so please forgive me.

Ouch! What you wrote is funny. And yes, my daughter's shit stinks just as much as anyone else's. I know, I change her when I'm at home.

I'm a cheapass, I don't like spending (alot) money on myself, but I don't mind or care if my wife spending money on herself, my daughter, the house, food, friends, etc. I just really hate it when she spends money on me (stupid things like designer clothing or high brandname watch). I just end up go back to return them. Also, I make a good living so I don't need my wife's help making money, I like the fact that she is spending quality time with my daughter. And before your laugh at me, I already know the $60 dress only gets worn a total of 10-15 times (once a week for 12 weeks) before she grows out of it. By the way, my wife isn't buying a lot of $60 dresses, just once in awhile. And sometimes the $60 dress might have been on sale from $120.

I thought about buying Batman AA @ BB and TRUS...$30 maybe I might get it, but I have a lot of backlog and it keeps growing.
By the way, I read the reviews for Golden Compass and I wouldn't buy it at $1.

Again, not to brag, but here some of my backlog so that you might understand my reason for not getting Batman AA.
Grand Theft Auto IV, Street Fighter IV, Fallout 3, Burnout Paradise, Resistance 2 CE, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Guitar Hero World Tour, Prince of Persia, Saints Row 2, MotorStorm, Condemned 2, Assassin's Creed, Kung Fu Panda, Lego Batman, Oblivion GOTY, Lost Planet, etc. I don't like racer games too much so they are at the bottom of my list.

I'm Currently playing Valkyria Chronicles. Also I only play about 2 hours a day after everyone goes to sleep.

Please don't judge me or my family's lifestyle, just try to understand that everyone is different and not wrong for being different.

Thanks

Dude, you're a real piece of work, why don't you try and stay on topic rather than attacking someone's kids.
 
Hello all, I hit up the Toys R Us in my area with the trade in values from the Gamer Factory Website and they were all pretty close, some were off by 10 to 15 cents. Got nice trade in for Aerosmith GH(paid 2 at one TRU, got 7 for trade in) and 12.50 for Afro Samurai(7.50 on Amazon). Tried trading in DDR Universe 3, but the actual game doesn't have a barcode jut the whole box. The gift card can be used anywhere in the store and does not expire. Hope this helps somebody out.
 
Well the good news is the site lets you list all trade in values in a single query (well you still have to page forward), but the prices quickly drop off into the abyss. Amazon and GS are still the goto based upon their trade in promotions.

Good for you, man. I love how whenever someone finds out you make (or think you make) good money, apparently you have to splurge on everything and not care about getting good value or deals and should just throw money around. That's exactly why so many people in this world end up broke and poor even though they had or make a decent amount of money. Just look at some of the huge lottery winners. :roll:

I probably don't make what you make but I know where you're coming from. I'd rather spend money on other things that some of you would probably flip out on. A $60 dress is nothing compared to the parts I buy for my cars. And yet, the same people would bug out about that. But you know what? Buying games is as much of a waste (if not more) to those who aren't interested.

Why should I spend an extra $30+ on a game when it would just end up in the couple-foot high backlog in my closet? By the time some of us get to our games, they'd already be in the clearance bins or off the shelves if we bought them new at the release date. That difference in cost could've been spent on something else had we waited. I'd rather put that money towards another tank of gas, which I'd use with more gratification than a game. But I do enjoy games so I still spend on them. I just don't see the value in spending a lot of money on them when there are so many other things I enjoy and many other more practical uses for it.

But anyway, I think I'm getting even more off topic than these last few posts. I'm not even sure what they were originally about but I just caught this last post. :lol: The bottom line is, you don't have to be a broke ass to be a cheap ass. ;)
 
I had a "upsetting" experience trying to check some TIV at GS when they did the Batman Midnight launch. Long story short, I needed to show them proof(a receipt) for my games, although my buddy brought some in earlier and had an easy transaction. Eff Gamestop,lol.
 
[quote name='mazinga z']Hello all, I hit up the Toys R Us in my area with the trade in values from the Gamer Factory Website and they were all pretty close, some were off by 10 to 15 cents. Got nice trade in for Aerosmith GH(paid 2 at one TRU, got 7 for trade in) and 12.50 for Afro Samurai(7.50 on Amazon). Tried trading in DDR Universe 3, but the actual game doesn't have a barcode jut the whole box. The gift card can be used anywhere in the store and does not expire. Hope this helps somebody out.[/QUOTE]

I just traded in Saints Row 2 for $9.45. I paid $5 for it during the Hollywood Video sale. Overall, I see the TIVs are better than GS and others.
 
Yeah, I just kept the games that would get me the 30 dollar bonus from Amazon and traded in the others to TRU. Tried to do the B1G1 half off deal for Chrono Trigger but they were all gone,I'll probably use the gift cards to support my plastic crack habit AKA Transformer collecting,lol.
 
TRUS Times Square, NYC

Thanks man. I like the tagline "don't have to be a broke ass to be a cheap ass".

Sorry to be so longwinded, but even as an attorney this silly argumentation about which thread was better seemed silly. So in summary, thanks to both thread creators and why not try working together fellas? Those of us who have been here a few years would certainly appreciate it.

I don't want to bring up the official vs unofficial issue again, but I was just reading the unofficial thread and thought this was very funny.
Also I don't know how to quote from a closed thread so please forgive me.

This is funny because it is so true, especial for me. This might sound like bragging or being super cheap, but I'm not trying to come off that way.
I'm in a similar situation as bgame2, I have a good career and I make a very good living (in financial field), I have a wife (stays at home) and a 1 year old daughter. Our lifestyle is towards the high side, but we can afford it. But I also try to get better deals or use coupons when possible. And I will not buy video games at full price...that just dumb.

At $60, I don't even think about buying a game because my wife can buy a dress for my daughter or we can go out for dinner.
At $30, I think about it but usually pass on it because the money could be used for formula/diapers/baby stuff.
At $20, I don't buy because I know it will be less than $15 in a few week/months. Plus I have a lot of backlog.
At $15 or less, I buy because it's equal to my lunch.
I got most of my games either at $10 or $5 or free.

A dollar saved is a a dollar earned, and that dollar goes to my daughter's education, wardrobe, toys, well being, etc.
And lastly, no matter how much you make, your wife and children can and will find a way to use it.

I really appreciate this website and all the contributing members.

good for you man. I'm sort of in the same boat with going back to college recently. Granted it's nowhere near as a financial / emotional / time priority as having a child, but it's still a ding to the pocketbook that I have to watch out for especially being in Cali lol.

As for the folks chewing him out for a $60 dress....STFU and GTFO. seriously it's his daughter and his family so they are free to do what they want. If you have kids and are any kind of decent human being you know that such a price tag is of little consequence for a 1 yr old. you'll probably spend that much in 2 wks on diapers alone and I know from taking care of my little cousins when they were 1. I applaud you man for being so conscientiouss about your daughter and family and your cheap ass ways :applause::D


btw I have the same kind and a larger amount of backlog so i feel you lol


checked some of my Local TRU and their either out or haven't dropped yet...anyone in SoCal getting anything? I mean the last thing I grabbed from them was Stoked and there hasn't been anything good since

I love the line as well.

Read - You're not alone. But I have no kids AND my wife works so it's double the insanity. ;-)
 
this thread's awesome. good reading. sorry to add to this, but i'm married and no kids yet. but i'm paying for my wife's college tuition. not trying to brag either, i make a decent living, but my wife and i are cheapasses, we try to save where we can whether it be groceries, clothing and VIDEO GAMES. why buy a new game for full price knowing well that it will eventually go down. i can wait a little long to play new games, especially with the help of CAG in the past few years, i've occured a massive backlog. to the dad's on here, keep doing what you guys are doing - looking out for the family.
 
[quote name='jaysapathy']Because it's the new favorite thing to bitch about, Resistance 2 has been added to the OP, although it was mentioned numerous times in jdawgg's thread (long before mine). Because of the age of it, I've greened it. You DO know there was a thread before mine, and it has really old info, right..?

Oh wait, that would require effort, and it's easier to just whine about being spoonfed, and taking occasional jabs at the OP because it 'looks cool'. :roll:[/QUOTE]
How exactly was Resistance 2's clearance price of $29.98 in the previous thread, when it reached that price on August 3rd, and this has been the thread since Febuary 4th? Don't bitch out others for not giving effort when it's yourself. The hypocrisy doesn't stop. :roll: Here's the SKN # for Resistance 2, 209450. And yes we are all bitching you out because it 'looks cool'.

Don't you have your OWN 'unofficial' thread to maintain? Seriously, this drama is a bit much.

Either you're going to make, update and maintain your own 'unofficial' thread and stop bitching in here or you could just ya know....stop bitching in here.

Either way, I don't give a shit, but one of you has to be the adult and put the other on ignore so this useless bickering can stop cause it is getting old.

I let it go because people didn't want 2 threads... I'm not bitching, I'm just pointing out the truth, because someone enjoys lying through their teeth. That's a disservice to everyone, when you lie all the time about stuff that people want information on.
 
Checked out Toys R Us and they didn't have any Resistance 2: Collector's Editions (for $30). I was really hoping to pick that up. I also checked for Mass Effect (for $5), and they didn't have any left in stock. Thanks for the post anyway.

enough already, this crap is lowering our collective IQ.
 
Knock if off, folks.


Stay on the topic of what's on clearance at TRU and for how much at your locations, as TRU clearances are still YMMV. If there are problems, report them or PM a mod with whatever posts need addressing.

I know that's asking an awful lot, but I have faith y'all can handle it. If you can't, I'll help you to keep quiet.
 
My TRU friend told me that they got three boxes of clearance crap from other stores yesterday morning. Anyone else see this? She says it's pretty rare, but let me pick through the box.. I'd tell you what I found, but I'm sure a lot of you would cry. :D

A -lot- of older stuff though, 6+ months. Seriously, has anyone else seen this?

No, but please share what you found. We can take it.

You really got to get out of jays ass and come out for air now and then. He was the guy complaining about others "talking shit" to him first. Follow your own advice, and shut the fuck up about it.
 
Come on now, no one is firmly wedged up someone else's ass.
Toysrus usually has crap stock for these types of things, like my local Target. Funny they are right next to each other too.

I got $12 at GameCrazy a week or so ago.

The TRU near me had a whole lot of nothing.
