CAGiversary!
I was just at the Big Lots in West Allis (the one at the corner of Highway 100 and Oklahoma Ave.) - they had Guitar Hero III PS2 bundles for $50. Didn't look too close at it, but I believe they had about 8 - 10 left or so.
FYI for La Crosse/Onalaska:
Kohl's has some good, albeit limited, clearance right now. I picked up Tony Hawk's American Sk8land (DS) for $8. There were some $10 Wii and PS2 games there as well.
Target clearance has sucked this whole month, so I wouldn't bother there. What happened to their sweet clearance endcaps?
Toys R Us has a handful of $10 PS2 games (ex. DDR Supernova 2 for $10).
GameStop in the mall has Tokobot Plus (PS2) brand new in stock right now for $10. :shock: As usual, they still have crap for used game selection.
Anybody live on the south side of La Crosse? Anything good over there at ShopKo, Kmart, or Walmart??

The KMart is pretty much always terrible. I live about a minute or two away from it and stop in every now and then; the only game I've ever bought there was Guitar Hero 3 w/ Guitar. Every store was sold out, but Kmart actually had a stack, still.
The South Side Walmart is pretty much the same as every Walmart in the area. They're a number of cents cheaper on games and the like, but it's rare that they actually have a good deal.
I've gotten lucky in the past with the Shopko, every now and then you can find a decent deal on a clearance game. I haven't been down there in a couple of weeks, I'll try to check them out in the next couple of days.

I don't know if this is valid at all Pawn Americas, or just the one in Onalaska, but, they're currently at 35% off everything in the store. All DVDs are also just $2.99.
I picked up a 40GB PS3 for only $220, so not a bad deal if you don't mind used items...
(And it came with an HDMI cable, so that was another $50 saved, but that was just a lucky find; the guy left it in the box...)

Score! Good work. I'm guessing since its not posted anywhere else, this is YMMV. But regardless, nice score.

Found Shining Force Exa (PS2) at ShopKo, Onalaska for $3.99. It was marked as $9.99 but rang up cheaper. It was on the shelf of "clearance" (not always true) items in the game section. Haven't tried with any other games, but it's possible more games might ring up cheaper. Even without extra discount, there were some okay prices there (incl. DS: $20 Magical Starsign, Lost in Blue).

was hoping to find someone commenting on the CC liquidation in Madison, WI.[/quote]
Yeah either the WI CAG are getting tight lipped or there just is nothing to get excited about. As far as CC is concerned around me they are still at 10% off store wide with few exceptions on certain items

I was in the east side CC in Madison on Wednesday, nothing too special looking. Not sure if things were just slow moving there. I'm checking the one on the west side today.

Anyone know if the CC on 76th or Brookfield has the ms point/live cards for cheap? They were all 10% when I went last week, but people are saying they are really cheaper than that, can anyone confirm?

yes, cds/dvds/bluray were 20% off. Everything else games/laptops/stereos/tvs etc was all 10%. I was hoping to pick up some live points but at only 10% off it's not much of a deal, i went there on Thursday 1/22.

I stopped in on Thursday. I agree, nothing special.
I hate it when store's put clearance games in bins. They have two bins with games as low as $4.99, but it'd probably take someone a good 1/2 hour to thoroughly dig through both of them. Not worth it though. I doubt there's anything of value in there.
I give up on CC. Like I've read elsewhere, there probably won't be any good deals until the last few weeks, and by then everything will probably be gone.

That about sums it up.
It's a sad time for Madison gamers. CC was the place to get cheap games. Over the years I picked up probably 100 or so $16.96 (or less) clearance games. I'll miss that monthly CC clearance list here at CAG.

[quote name='WiiNet']How are Preplayed (West) deals on TV on DVD? I've never been there...[/QUOTE]
They're OK. It seems the big box stores (Target, Walmart and Best Buy specifically) have been blowing out TV season DVD sets like crazy recently.
Even so, I've picked up quite a few used sets at PrePlayed (West) over the years. Mainly the Adult Swim shows which are usually cheaper than buying them new. Stuff like Simpsons or Family Guy are way overpriced at PrePlayed IMO (usually $29.99 per season). You're better off waiting for sales at the big box stores (and they're new).

Any of you guys buying the cheapo 75% off (85%w/edge) gameboy original & color games from Gamestop? I've drove out to almost all the stores in the Milwaukee metro area and bought a few stores out that had low stock. I know that the Gamestop by the intersection of Pt. Washington Rd & Brown Deer Rd (Bayside) still has 2 pages worth. Mostly kiddie\Disney games though.
I have rental property up in Sheboygan I manage so I may drop by the Sheboygan & Sheboygan Falls locations and see if they have anything.

you might want to try the sheboygan area. i stopped there a few months ago and picked up Blu Rays for cheap and did take a look at the GB Games.
On another note EAst Town mall green bay radioshack has gtaIV (360) for 11.97 and ninja gaiden (360) for 14.97

i agree. cc was the best place for deals. best buy was across from our CC and i'd usually check prices there and price match at CC.

The best deal that I had seen at circuit city liquidation was a friend got the orange box for $20. He has crazy luck with stuff like that. Like 5 or 6 years ago he found symphony of the night for $10 at a Fleet Farm.

Orange box should be universal at 19.99. not sure if that's a good deal, but it's a great game at that price anyhow. TRU is you're lucky, you can find it for 9.xx.

During the fall of 2004, I found 5 copies of Symphony of the Night (Greatest Hits) at Blockbuster in Oshkosh. They were all marked $10. I already had a copy for myself so I passed. Just think of how much those would've gone for on ebay a year to two later...ugh.

Thanks guys for the percentages, but what games are available? (I posted some notes on the inventory for the GB store in the main CC liquidation thread after I went last weekend.)
I'm going to be in Southeast WI this weekend, and I'd love to find a copy of Uncharted (since Sony refuses to drop the price) or an extra Dual Shock 3 at one of the CCs.

Ok, so I posted this in the main thread but just thought that I might add it here.
In the LaCrosse Walmart (i.e. southside) the area that must have used to contain the EA Sports games was filled with $10 games. The only ones I remember were:
Zack & Wiki (Wii)
Teenage Zombies (DS)
Ape Escape 3 (PS2)
I don't visit that Walmart often, so I'm not sure how long things will last.
BTW, I saw these things Feb 11th.

Dont bother with Kmart @ East Town Mall, game selection was horrible. GB games has prices on games [for those who dont know] that are about 3-5 dollars cheaper than Amazon on shipped games. Recently picked up Lenneth & Radiant Dawn there for 18.99 each.
Preplayed also has some okay stuff, I think I saw FE there for 28.99? Not too bad, didn't pick it up though.
Blockbuster East has Super Mario Galaxy (3 copies last time I checked) for 25 each if anyone wants them, very bad PS2 selection though. And Hollywood Video's bargain bin (The one by where the old best buy is, and where linen's & things was) had a lot of 3.99 PS2/GC/Xbox games. I got Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, MP: Echoes, Kirbys Air Ride and a few others there.
Hmm anything else I can think of? Nope
