Besides the regular Target clearance deals, it seems that these random Best Buy clearances are the second best bet to get newer games at cheap prices. Problem with Best Buy clearances as we all know is that they are YMMV according to each store. I was hoping to get some kind of master list for stores in the Northern and Central Virginia areas. I'll try to update the list in this first post so we don't have to read the entire thread to see which stores may have been added.
Charlottesville VA (Store 860): Small table up front with 25% off a few unspectacular games...also a shelf or two in the main aisle next the the video game department with more older games for 25%.
Fredericksburg VA (Store 166): Nothing
Cosners Corner VA (Store 1163): Nothing
Stafford VA (Store 1476): Shelf in main aisle next to game section with 40% off. I picked up Nights for $17.
Gainesville VA (Store 1449): Small shelf next to the video game department in the main aisle. It started off at 20% a month ago, but as of early last week when I went it bumped up to 40%. Nice selection like PS3 Skate, Oblivion and the expansion pack. Unfortunately, a lot of these games are still stickered at $60 when they should be $40 or less, so the 40% isn't as great a deal on some games as others. EDIT: This store has gone to 50% off and now includes Halo controllers and wireless headsets! I also noticed on the way through checkout that they have about a dozen or so Star Wars and Daxter PSP bundles for $20 off...not the best deal, but better than nothing if you are in the market for one.
Potomac Mills VA (Store 287): I like these older, bigger stores...too bad this one didn't have sh*t for clearance. They had a bunch of GH 2 that are clearanced everywhere else, but not here. Actually, GH3 is on sale for $75 right now making it cheaper than GH2?!?! I did get some penny guides though so not a total loss of a trip.
These are just the stores I have visited lately. I figure we can all save each other some time and gas if we join our efforts. Thanks.
