UPDATE 8/28 Evening

If Richard 18 did pick up the last True Crime 2 days ago and didn't see anthing else, it is safe to say that they have these new batches every Monday (or at least when they have too much stock of these games every week)

They have updated this table with a new batch of games, this time it's not as exciting as last week but still one or two good ones to be had, personally I didn't pick up anything yet... they have all these on a table, games are either marked $9.99 or $4.99 but the remaining games from last week are not updated. and they do not have the new BLOWOUT SALES sheet printed at the register or the table yet (the register is still posting last week's paper)



Leftovers from previous week:
:ps2: Sly 2 $5 or $6
:gc: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles $5 or $6
:xbox: Gun $5 or $6

New Additions:
:ps2: 007 Nightfire GH $10
:ps2: Harry Potter GH $10
:ps2: Driv3r GH $10
:ps2: Killzone GH $10
:ps2: Mortal Kombat Deception GH $10
:ps2: Bad Boys Miami Takedown $5
:ps2: Choro Q $5 (is this a good game? I almost bought it)
:ps2: Pro Bass Challenge $5
:ps2: $5
:ps2: $5
:xbox: Unreal Championship 2 $5

That is all.
I'l be frequenting this BB for sure...










Confirmed in Norwalk CT, these games are on a clearance table near the game section, if you cant find them go to the actual game section, you can find more of these games in their original places:



They have the following (Razr arent the best for taking photos)
w/ 8/24 update on Leftovers:

:gc: Battalion Wars (which i bought) $6
:gc: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles $6 tons left!
:xbox: Gun $6 tons left
:xbox: True Crime NYC Collector Edition $6 very few left
:ps2: Sly 2 (GH) $6 a few left
:xbox: :ps2: DaVinci Code $6 very few ps2 copies left, xbox gone
:xbox: :ps2: Call of Duty Big Red One $9
New Additions:
XBOX NFL EA Wireless Controllers $10

there are back to school coupons that you may use and may even qualify for another 10% off, if they let you. since these games are scanned at their sticker price i had to point out to the girl that they are on clearance, needless to say, she was very sorry because the blowout lists are posted next to each cash register. :cool:

these may be as well YMMV since I have not confirmed in other BB's. so if anyone are interested, PM me, I can grab these for you, pay me for game, postage and a buck or two for gas and I can ship them to you. I'm looking for trades as well.:D

I also found some Super Mario Advance 4 (SMB3) E-reader cards for 2 dollars. are those worth it???

Update 8/22:
- I'd hate to turn this into a sale/trade thread but I've been getting like PMs like crazy and yeah there won't be enough BW for everyone since there are 20 copies wanted on my list and the table had like 2-3 left...

- sad update from a fellow CAG who hit up the BB already and said that the $5.99 table is gone, I will confirm if I can just get away for lunch. which doesn't look like it since I spent most of the time returning PMs... if not im going there after work

- if I'm lucky to get anything, I'll open up a new thread for the purpose of fulfilling the requests.

- and no dont thank me, i've gotten enough deals off you cheapasses :) , i'd love to help out if i can...

UPDATE 8/22 Evening

Sorry but this is kind of a disappointment. I couldn't leave work today until after 6:30, but when I got there around 7, they are already closed. Normally they close at 9,. i think they're doing some kind of inventory check since the employees are all taking their cigarette breaks still but won't let customers in.

I'll try again tomorrow IF they still have a table there

This may be related anyway, maybe they see too many copies of these games lying around, and tried to get rid of them via the Blowout sale table before taking inventory?

UPDATE 8/23 Evening

They still have the table, although all Battalion Wars are now gone. I cannot locate them. They have a LOT of FF:CC and GUN left. I can still do this for CAGs, but UNLESS I PM'ed you back recently, I did not get anything for you because I assume that most people wanted to "tack stuff on" with Battalion Wars. So, if you still want the games left on this updated list, PM me.




UPDATE 8/24 Evening

They still have the table, and its tidied up a little bit.
Only a few games left, see above. One new addition is the XBOX NFL Wireless Controller from EA or something for 10 bucks, I didn't bother to check for quality as I was going in to grab Gun and True Crime for a few people who's still wants me to grab these games.

I'm beginning to think that this Norwalk BB will have these sales a lot, since it does look like they do update this particular table (yeah only a controller, but they do have a new "blowout sale" sheet posted on the table that now no longer lists the OOS games such as BW or Call Of Duty 2. I may just have to check this store out every once in a while! :D

And the cashier recognized me already, "you again?" the african american lady was nice, but she's pissed that she always need the manager to override the prices since they all scan at 29.99 or 19.99 or whatnot.

now that I think about it, I should've loaded an XBOX 360 COD2 in there and told her that it's part of the sale when I was there yesterday... :twisted:the list does not specify which system.

I'm not going to go back to work until Monday, by then I'm sure the table will be gone (or hopefully newer games cleared out on my new favorite table), so don't bother PM'ing me to get games until I have another update here next week. Thanks and cheers all.\\:D/
 
Thinking about getting Gun, I rented it and loved it (Didn't finish it, I never finish rented games. I've got the Game Pass, so I just swap the games out whenever I want to)
 
Heh, well this is the clearance I was talking about in another thread, I just needed to confirm it at another store. Although, what I saw was very different, and consisted of various games priced at $10 and $5 and then a bunch of unmarked games set aside, I know GUN was in that pile, I was FF:CC and FF X-2. Maybe they were just getting moved away for the upcomming clearance.

Other games of note include:

Geist - $10
VJ: Red Hot Rumble - $10

hmm there were many others too, AND, I just can't remember them all, since I was planning on going back and finding out later in the week.
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']yea I saw a price drop at Microcenter for Gun for the PC..does this mean that its a bad game?[/quote]

Not at all, if you are looking for an enjoyable FPS game. For 6 bucks GUN is dang hard to beat. It just seems like many FPS games get clearanced quickly.
 
wow quite a lot of PMs. i may have to ask the manager to give me the whole table :p i hope they let me make a big haul...

if i dont PM you back, that doesnt mean i didnt read it. i will see how many copies i can get tomorrow and will reply all PMs.

thanks
 
First off, OP, this is the way to do random clearance sales. A big fat picture and then a summary underneath, much much better than the "Uh, I think I saw this game at some price I don't remember" that's all too common. Kudos, good sir.



Other than that, only thing in this sale that looks tempting is CoD.
 
as you can see from the pic, GC Battalion Wars there were like, 3 copies on the table and I took one for myself. i'll check out the GC shelf to see if there are any more tomorrow, but if theres not enough to go around, im going to do this in order of the PMs received.

thanks again.
 
WTF?!?! $6 for Battalion Wars?!??! :drool:

most of the Best Buys around here don't have Battalion Wars anymore. only a few stores. and it's not even in their system anymore. :roll:
 
[quote name='David85']FF:CC is still not worth it. Just because it has the FF name doesn't mean it's not shit.[/QUOTE]

OR ... just because it's not traditional FF doesn't mean it's not not shit.

Yeah, I like that one.
 
I shall check out my local bestbuy tommorow and I'll report what I find and hook up CAG's with titles they want as long as they pay shipping+cost+and maybe a small finder's fee
 
A lot of people here from Norwalk...

I lived there during the winter of '03. It was miserably cold and I found very little to do. I'm sure it's a great place and all, but definitely wasn't for me.
 
Wow, I was so close to nabbing Batallion Wars for 25 bucks at the Sears clearance a week or so ago. I would be stoked to find this for 6. This seems to be extremely YMMV but I will definitely check my local BB. I need to grab the recently price dropped Sonic for DS anyways.
 
Hmmm..guess I'll take a trip to BB tomorrow...I'm not crossing my fingers though. Battallion Wars for $6 is the main game I'd buy...hell, I'd pay $15-20. I'd grab a couple of the others if they were $6 as well. Gun, FF, maybe Sly 2.
 
Da vinci code is terrible. I just got it for my wife. She played it all the way. I couldn't wait for this to end. They should ban this game as cruel and unsual punishment. Oh yeah buy the cheat manuel. You will need it. Unless of course you have a stange knack for figuring out word puzels in a different language.

Gun isnt really a FPS, you only go into FPS mode when you turn on the Bullet-Time like feature.

Personally, I really enjoyed Gun, but its major downfall was it takes about 6 hours to get 100% with no replay value, which is why it's getting clearanced and used copies are so cheap.

But at $6 or even $10, its a very solid purchase.
 
I'm goin out today too. If I find extra BW, I'll pick up a couple for you guys, but I'm not holdin by breath, as I haven't even seen the game on the shelf the last couple times I was there.
 
Damn I paid $25 for Battalion Wars just a few weeks ago. I'll have to check out my Best Buy and see if I can get some for CAG.....and ebay :p.
 
Just got back from BB no games on the list in sight. My store did not have any of the sale games. Was really hoping to score Bat. Wars and FF:CC

QFT, Gun was totally worth the $9 I paid for it last month.
 
it is a Collector's Edition


so hey guys, im collecting all info into an excel sheet now, please let me know if you are pulling back on a PM you sent me last night or this morning so i dont end up wit 20 copies of games i dont need. (of course im going to grab eveyr single possible BW since it seems hot at $6)

and i'd hate to turn this into a FS/FT thread, but i am getting quite a lot of PMs, again i want to say I am filling them in the order the PMs are received to be fair, and since there are a few people who offered, the consensus seems to be that $10 shipped are a fair price. this is what I am going to do. I may head out there at lunch, if I can't I'm going to pass by on the way home tonight, so please stay tuned.

and no I'm probably not going to do trades since this is quite too much to handle for me at the moment, unless of course something really caught my eyes.

once I get there today, and if I do get anything back, I'm going to open a new thread over at FS so I won't turn this thread into my own sale thread.

thanks again guys. CAG on.
 
ok this is fucking scary, i KNOW i used photobucket to host the pic yesterday, why is it now in imageshack? am i fucked in the head or something?
 
I went to the Norwalk,CT store this morning looking for Battalion Wars - no luck. The table was gone, but I noticed that they still had a lot of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in the regular game section.
