I know there's a thread discussing this but I thought it would be easier to just start a separate one with the complete list. Here's a link to the other thread. Thanks go to lvgamer1 for giving everyone the initial heads-up.

My brother picked up a couple copies (one for me and one for himself) of both Grandia III and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. Thanks OP for the post!
 
Grabbed the last copy of Xenosaga III because I knew there was some interest here. It's up for trade (sealed) if anyone still needs it, just shoot me a PM. Otherwise I'll probably just return it in a couple days.
 
at $17 a piece, i'm still staying away from them, saw all of the PS2 games in the thread, no bites...

#1, not exactly cheap cheap (you can get it used for cheaper)
#2, too many games at hand
#3, *sigh* if i continue buying from CC, i better apply a CC card to get 5% back!
 
Mine had some PC games as well. Got Far Cry for $3. Saw Splinter Cell 1 for $2 and some old gems like allied assault and jedi academy for 10. Last two are great games/so so deals. A lot of junk pc titles mostly.
 
I went yesterday, and it looked like there were new DS and GBA games in the bin than earlier in the week. Only titles I remember offhand were Trueswing Golf (or something like that) for DS, and Open Season, for both DS and GBA I think. Also, don't know if this is new or not, but the bin had tons of copies of Space Channel 5 Special Edition for PS2 for $2.96. I picked up Dragon Quest Rocket Slime and Pokemon Trozei while I was there, but it looked like they were the last copies. Also, all the copies of Phoenix Wright looked to be gone as well.

Space Channel 5 for $2.96?! i would have bought a few since i saw these at 2 CC's. these are like perfect gifts for christmas.

btw i finally found Rocket Slime. also picked up the last copy of Resident Evil Deadly Silence for the DS.
 
It's also $2.96 on their website. I wonder if more games not listed on the website are $2.96? Even if they aren't the greatest games, $2.96 is a lot better than the $16.96 prices most new clearance games are at.
 
I happened upon two Phoenix Wright Justice For All's with the $16.96 sticker on them (I hadn't been reading this thread and assumed that they were part of the sale). The casheir had to manually adjust the price, but I got them. No Ace Attorney copies though.

Thanks, OP.

The reason the price had to be manually adjusted for Justice For All is because it isn't even part of the clearance, only the original is. Nice score. Looks like some employees fudged up when stickering the games.

Yeah I figured that out when I came back to read on what else I should look for. I went to another CC today and was able to get the original PW, Meteos, and Resident Evil.

Again, I saw more Justice For Alls at this CC mistakenly tagged $16.96.

Resident Evil DS is well worth the money, I paid $15 from someone on here and really enjoyed it. It's short (like all of them, about 6-8 hours), but it plays surprisingly well on the DS.

Here's hoping for a new/unique RE game for the DS, or at least some more remakes for on the go!
 
[quote name='scion of ys']anyone know the price for soul calibur 3?[/quote]
Yes.








































Oh, did you want me to actually tell you? $16.96.

my jaw dropped when i saw your post. i would jump on that so fast it'll be like the next flash gordon movie. i love it when employees gets trigger happy with the price guns.

btw i saw a couple space channel 5's at the CC on broadway by the 79th st station in nyc. they look like they had been re-sealed though. they were marked at $2.96
 
Saw about 6 copies of Space Channel 5 for 2.96 at the Corpus Christi Circuit City. Picked up two copies one for me and one for free for the first person to PM me requesting it.
 
I found Xenosaga II for $14 at Sears and Episode III for $16.96 at CC, but since I already have too many games and not enough time to play them, I didn't buy them :cry:

Hmmm surely this can't be the ONLY game to get marked down to $2.96...?
 
I picked up a couple of Grandia III's for some people here and once I got them they became non-existant to pay up. So if anyone is in need, feel free to hit me up.
 
[quote name='Vegan']I wish I hadn't picked up Space Channel 5 at Circuit City last week for 10 bucks and thrown away the receipt.[/quote]

If you paid by check or credit/debit card they can look it up for you.
 
Darn, I bought True Swing Golf for $16.96, but then I saw it at Gamerush today for only $10. I went ahead and bought it anyway, and I'm gonna take that copy (I already opened the one from CC) back and either get a refund or exchange it for MechAssualt: Phantom War if they still have that one copy left.
 
Picked up a copy of Warioware Touched out of the 16.96 bin, hadn't seen it on the list so I figured i'd let you folks know.

Nice snag. I hit an out of the way CC and found 2 as well.
 
So now I kinda feel like a dip. I should have purchased Rocket Slime when I got the chance, and now I just have this fear that when I go to get it next time I have the oppourtunity, they'll be gone.

When I picked up Contact a few weeks back, it was still in with the DS games, hopefully they haven't moved Rocket Slime to a discount bin--better chance of it disappearing when that happens.
 
There were some additional drops on some of the 16.96 games that hit today. I don't have the list, but quite a few games dropped to 12.96 or less. I remember Commandos for PS2 but not much else. I will try and get a list soon if I can.
 
[quote name='hansolox1']I picked up Phoenix Wright today for $11.96 after using the BB coupon (original, not a copy)[/quote] Your CC took the BB coupon? Gah! I was able to do that twice earlier this year, but now both local CC locations tell me they've recently changed their policies and cannot accept or PM a competitor's coupon...been shot down with that excuse every time I've tried in the last 2 months. I'm so unlucky. :cry:

Thanks, be sure to let us know soon. I am hoping the list contains xenosaga and grandia.

My local Circuit City would not accept BB gamer gift card coupons in the past but I have been successful using the Gamepro coupons twice recently. I needed to go to the front desk to get approval both times. I had the original coupons from the Gamepro magazine, not copies.

I don't remember those two, but I think Drakengard II is on there. Lots of the older sports games that were just clearanced. Many of the games seem to have been from drops earlier in the year including the recent March drops. But, it was not every recent clearance game that dropped to $12.96 or less, only about 30 or so titles.

Also, Far Cry Vengence for Wii is 19.99 now at CC. Not a clearance game, just a price drop. There were other games, but again I can't recall all of them.

The problem comes from the fact that my store is out of many of the games that dropped, so it makes it hard to remember the ones we don't have that are on the list.

I successfully used a B&W copy of the BB coupon last week. I used it on the :ds: Contact making it $12!!

I didn't expect it to work, but I asked the cashier if they took coupons, and she said yes.

YMMV I guess...

I was able to use BB coupon scans (albeit printed on a color laser printer...stock paper, though)...twice earlier this year. A $5off on Rabbids and a $10/$40+ on Twilight Princess. Every time after that, though..."We're sorry, we've recently changed our policies..." And both local CCs started giving the same excuse on the same day. They probably have pictures of me posted in the back..."Under no circumstance will you give this dude a deal!"

Not that I won't give it a shot every time I go back, but it's a bit frustrating.
 
Circuit City near where I work (Parma/Brooklyn, OH) had a huge pile (3 bins) full of games. Prices were anywhere from $16 to $10.

They were also pulling additional games when I was there. The two that interested me were the 2 Wii games slated for markdown.

Farcry was $19.99
Splinter Cell was $39.99

The markdown sheet that the lady was working off of was about 8 pages thick. She let me browse it but I was only interested in Gamecube & Wii titles, which there were few.
 
Do not forget new CC $15 off $100 coupon valid $4/1 - 4/14. Checkout Cashier customer service desk or any cashier register for the coupon.
 
I picked up Rocket Slime today for 16.96. It was the only one there in the bottom of the bin.

It sucks that Grandia III, Tales of Legendia, Xenosaga III, and Contact weren't there though.
 
i found 2 copies of Final Fantasy VI in the bin today. only picked up one copy though. Rang up for full price so im pretty sure it was mismarked but a hell of a deal for me. I almsot picked up lost magic but i wasnt sure if it was any good at the time. i think i might go back and pick it up since the reviews seem decent.
 
Picked up:
Bomberman Jetters (marked $16.99) rang up $7.47
Lost Magic (marked $16.96) rang up $9.72
Space Channel 5 (marked $9.99) rang up $2.22

Saw Contact and Meteos, both tagged at $16.96 (price checked at $12.72)

You lucky dog. I misread the CC Price Drop thread the other day and was expecting to find Final Fantasy VI for 16.96. It turned out that it was actually IV that had the price drop. I bought IV anyway and I'm enjoying it, but I had my heart set on VI.
