I did pretty good at both stores yesterday, I went there around 3pm so I pretty much got first dibs at Arden and Florin. Today I hit the Citrus Heights store and went back to Arden and Florin. Citrus Heights was too new to have most of the older games, but around 11:30am when I went they had 5-6 Metal Gears, and 5 or so Gun Valkyries. They also had a few GBA games. I grabbed one each of Metal Gear and Gun Valk. Florin and Arden were damn near picked over, but I managed to get Toe Jam and Earl III (no idea how, because I didn't see it yesterday and I went twice. today it was in plain view). I also managed to pick up FF origins at the Florin store.
Not too bad of a haul, especially since I thought I wouldn't get anything. All the employee's at the Arden store kept asking me where I heard about this deal, I told them Cheapassgamer.com and about 5 min later the employee had printed out a list, good stuff.
EDIT: on a side note, the last time I went to the Arden store there was a guy with a basket going around with the list grabbing absolutely everything on it, so I wouldn't waste a trip over there unless maybe you want to try your luck on some crappy GBA titles.
