Total bust for me. Target kept going in and out; Best Buy line just keeps spinning -- I'm sure they're all gone. Oh well; this reminded me why I haven't even tried buy to consoles at launch. Only tried this time since I skipped the Switch 1 gen entirely and figured I'd hop back on with this...

I have a mild curiosity about Lunar. Have no nostalgia for it; just curious from what I've heard from podcasters. As such, the asking price for these is a bit high. Will wait to see if I can get them for $40.

I'm interested in Switch 2 though admit almost only for the better design and larger joycons, no interest at all in all those social and game key features. Given how insane the supply issues should be at launch, I'm assuming the earliest I'll get one is the fall/holidays. Not happy to pay...

I'm not a handheld gamer and when it comes to Switch, performance is thus an issue. I've heard Cult of the Lamb doesn't run well -- and generally, let's face it, Switch versions usually run the least smoothly compared to the PS4/5 versions. I'm not saying the price couldn't sway me, but by and...

I understand folks being annoyed when they get a non-ESRB game -- though if Woot discloses on the item page that it's a possibility, then the buyer accepts the risk. As for "fake games," confused by what you're saying there. Non-ESRB games aren't fake just because they're from a different...

Noticed most everything is up slightly than before - companies slowly edging prices up so they don't have spike prices when tariffs happen. No doubt tariffs will cause game prices to go up and new consoles from Nintendo will be impacted. I thought folks voted for lower prices and less taxes...

I don't count digital purchases of video games as any deal, period :-)

Not surprised. Best Buy game deals are pretty rare now.

That circle offer doesn't work on the Mario games. You can tell because the offer doesn't show up for any of those titles.

Of course, I'm not saying games don't sell at all (obviously). The point is for the known franchises sell but absent those few, nothing else sells enough to work. And frankly, we know even the big hitters aren't moving the numbers they did before or allegedly enough numbers to be considered a...

Surprised to see this topic come back. Triple Click (an excellent podcast) this week talks about the souring videogame industry, and the bleak future that seems likely to lie ahead. Fact is people are buying fewer and fewer games -- and these "black hole" games are simply eating all/most of...

I'm a physical media guy; I don't buy digital games and never will. The way I see it, there is plentiful content on disc/carts -- more than enough than I can enjoy in my lifetime. That said, I agree that physical media is not the future and that while blurays and carts will stick around for...

Except that's not what they're doing. Clearance seems pretty random location-wise and at the whims of each store.

The steady march to the end of physical game media (in stores) continues ... PS5 discs and Switch carts will be available through online retailers but it's clear B&M inventory/selection is getting smaller and smaller.

I think this is right, at least for Switch 2. However, I can still see Target cutting down its game section and bringing most of its stock online, just like it's done its blurays/4ks/dvds, some time this year.

A lot of great points raised by everyone. Yeah, I remember GS dipping their toes into self-publishing. It was a smart move but one GS then failed to commit to. Agree it's probably too late. As for the future of LRG, agree that the market for collector/small physical game runs is probably also...

Gamestop's slow march to oblivion continues. All the GS stores except one near me have closed shop. Pretty sure the lone one standing will too be gone in a little while. The huge drop in games traded in as the physical market shifts more and more to being a premium/collector market, the less...

I'm surprised more folks aren't buying Jedi Survivor on PS4. It's two discs and the ONLY way to own the game physically in its entirety. The PS5/XB releases were basically a download code on a disc.

I can totally see the Xbox section disappearing by the end of the year. However, rather than reduce the game section, odds could be good that the Nintendo section would take that little extra space. Console gaming wise, let's be frank, it's really PlayStation and Switch now.

In earnest, your stores may not even be participating in this clearance so you likely didn't miss anything. it's a total crapfest on which Targets are doing this. Most Targets near are not doing it, or if are, have barely discounted the games (like $10). Only one I came to had at least a...
