Many of these games have been listed in the other thread that was started but I'll put up this thread with the entire list. Thanks to maccabee72 for starting that thread. Some are new additions, some are markdowns on previous games. These should qualify for the 25% off sale that starts 7/8 so buy now and keep those receipts for pricematching. Same as last month, if there are new additions throughout the month I'll be adding them.

Here are links to the June and April/May clearance threads as well.

[quote name='deathscythehe']If you're going to use a controller to play, then don't buy the game. You can't do anything above the most basic songs, as most songs at a minimum require you to hit the directional pad in opposite directions at the same time, which you can't do on a pad.[/QUOTE]

You go into options, and select one of the layouts for controller, and then you use the thumb sticks.

So yes, you can use the controller.
 
[quote name='mitch079']Wow you completely missed what I said:

1) The 17 bucks that I want on the giftcard is roughly the total of the 25% off the 7 clearanced games I bought today that was advertised in their ad but was not deducted. If you notice, all the games ended in XX.96. Do the math.

2) As for them not marking their prices down, yes, obviously they'll charge you whatever it rings up at if it is cheaper. But what average consumer is really going to take the time to see if a game that is in the store on the box at 49.99 rings up for any cheaper? The consumer won't, nor should they have to.

Their system doesn't work if the stores don't manually write or sticker the new price on the game. The way I see it, I'm also doing them a favor to help them figure out why shit they want to get rid of isn't moving and also pointing out stores that need improvement within. I've seen stores that do keep up with the clearance prices. So it's got to do with the managers and employees within certain stores. If no one lets them know, how can things improve there buddy?

Don't hurt yourself picking yourself up off the floor ;)[/quote]


Ok, well when you said the difference I assumed you meant per item that was mismarked.

1) Automatic markdowns are the bread and butter of CAG, and in many cases FW and SD too. Many people enjoy hunting clearance at Target specifically because it will sit on a shelf with a higher tag than it is in the system. I hope you don't live near me... you're just gonna kill a lot of deals by pointing every pricing error to store employees. Yeah, you do THEM a favor, and a disservice to everyone else. Heck, that's why Kmart and Sears are such awesome places for clearnace games...their realative VG sales are low, so stuff sits...until it's $2. IF that's their business model, they ought to give up. It's not up to the consumer to "save" the store.

2) Why penalize the stores MORE through some corporate policy or law (lobbied for by the BBB) that punishes them for having an item ring up less than it shows up in the system? If they are missing out on selling an old item because they have a $50 price tag on a game that is $20 elsewhere, that is their loss. Consumers aren't forced to buy the game at CC, they can go to target, GS, EB, BB, Walmart and buy it for less. If they missed out on a clearance at CC, that's no crime... and that's not fraud. Fraud is making you pay more than something is worth, or false advertising to take your money - like bait and switch or not honoring a discount (like an extra 25% off clerance items...)

3) Many of these deals are leaked by employees. The stores know about the price changes, they just don't re-sticker the games. Obciously they have other priorities, and only they suffer for their laziness or lack of attention to detail. (FYI - that's why Best Buy gets cleaned out in hors of a clearance sale - their employees are forced to re-tag all merchandise, so if you aren't there the day of the sale, you miss out. Kmart, CC, and Sears clearance itesm can still be found weeks later, if you happened to miss the initial annoucnement. You should count yourself lucky then to get ANY CAG deals at B&M stores if it is your attitude and desire for all stores to be like BB.

If you're a seasoned VG buyer, you'll notice things. Like when I was at a target and saw 4 copies of Pikmin 2 on a shelf slot for Pokemon XD marked $30.... I knew that they were player's choice and thus miust be no more than $20. when I asked for a price check, they were $5.

Don't worry, grasshopper, you will learn in time how to spot the inconsistencies in store pricings...

but don't make a fool outa yourself trying to save the big mega-million corporation on a few sales. And by all means, DON'T go blowing deals for other CAGs in your area.

I stand corrected, but it's really a moot point. Who wants to play DDR with a controller?
 
[quote name='topnotch97']you know what i notice during deals like these at CC, when a good deal comes around the particular game that you want would be among the missing. even though you saw tons of copies like a few weeks ago, they'll mysteriously disappear from the bins. but a week after the deals, they mysteriously re-appear at the bins. kinda like when Fables (xbox) was priced at $7.99, they mysteriously go *poof* and a couple days later a dozen or so appears priced at $9.99. son of a :bomb:

so watch out for your copy of VT3, who knows they'll just gone fishing.:roll:[/quote]

I'll keep that in mind. I'll also probably look to GameCrazy to drop the price since they probably got a million of them in from flippers. So I might still be able to get it low costing. Fingers crossed.

Sad note, i used the $15 off $100 coupon, so my items don't show the 16.96 cost. So i don't think i can PM. :bomb:

No because you can use the face buttons as arrows too. So would be Left and B button

Thats the way I play it. It does work.
 
All kinds of trouble trying to get the 25% off. I don't think their cashiers know how to do simple math. I had to rational with them how Virtua Tennis 3, stickered at $49.99, is NOT $16.96 after 25% off. Obviously there was something wrong. It's like the light is on but no one's home!

Hes probally never had a game ring up cheaper that it was marked for him before. In fact if he did, he'd probally tell the employee it was ringing up cheaper. Which in fact is a dumb move, unless he likes spending that extra cash.

I don't see how I am helping the corporations to make extra money. They're already taking a loss or reduced profit on these games and looking to get them out of their inventory. Hence, why they are on clearance. Unless I'm wrong and someone wants to educate me on that.

Just because I'm a CAG doesn't mean that I'm going to be some kind of elitist dick who won't help someone who is not a member here or on some other board like SD or FW. Like someone on gamefaqs for example. Every consumer should know the real prices and if I see someone on another board looking for a game at a good price, I'll point them in the right direction. Circuit City and other retailers, should be responsible as well, to every consumer, to make sure they know the right prices.

If we didn't have some people working at CC on this board who clue us in on recent clearance prices, we'd all be up shit's creek without a paddle relying on people to have games scanned to see if they dropped. I know I wouldn't want that job. Do I think they're going to change the way they do things? Hell no. But I'm not going to let that stop me from expressing my opinion to CC.

Anyway, I didn't notice until awhile ago that the Getaway game was sliced open on the side and there's nothing inside so I have to go exchange it tomorrow. Pretty funny that someone stole a game that was marked at 29.99 but is really clearanced out at 3.96. That's really cheap LOL.
 
If anyone finds anything of note for the 360 and wants to pick up an extra, I'll make it worth your while...specifically Condemned or Virtua Tennis 3.

Seriously! I had the same damn conversation today, although for me it was a few games.

I was like, so how Meet The Robinsons ($39.99), VT3 ($49.99) & DOAX2 (59.99) all come out $16.96 with 25% off?

Unable to understand math, the manager tells me they all must have been marked down from that. So I asked him, so they these games were all selling for $22.61 previously, even though I paid $16.96 for them last week?

Fed up with math and logic, the manager just said it was "impossible" to price adjust the games. And I left.

The shocking point in your posts isn't being helpful, mitch, (I know I cue other people in, especially other shoppers at the stores, and I'd like to think we all do it in a low key way-I'm not advocating posting CAG deals on FW or SD) it's pointing out store errors to employees. That's like calling a store to get a price check...or posting a deal on FW or SD... it's counterproductive. Sure, more consumers find out fast and the store clears out inventory, but that's not a way that is "embraced" by CAGs.

IF you really want the consumers to know about these mis-markings, and for the stores to clear out their stock quickly, the most effective thing to do is post the sales/markdowns on FW and SD. Nationwide, stores will be cleared out in days, if not hours. But then you'd be in a heap of trouble with most CAGs here, as such practices are usually strongly discouraged. Very strongly. But I'm sure you know that already ;)


And FWIW, I don't think you're being obnoxious or trolling - but some of what you are saying is taking several of us here aback. Just want you to know I DO realize you've been a part of CAG for quite a while (longer than I have), and you are someone who contributes here. I'm just.... surprised.
 
Same story here. 1 store knew the deal and gave no hassles, 2 others were completely retarded and I had to deal with some ghetto-ass stupids who thought arguing loudly beats arguing logically. 1 made me wait half an hour for a manager who never showed up. I'll just price adjust at the good store, even though its kinda hard to get to.
 
god i had the same problem today, the ppl at cc are stupid the clerk said it is a 50 dollar game and its taking from that i look at her and said look at the ad. then she went to the manager, and she took foever to come out the she made this lame story that is was wrong i she was suppose to take it off shelf, but she couldnt give me the 25% off then she said i can give it to u for 16.96. man i nope forget... oh by the way it was meet the robinson.. i was trying to get to eb before they closed:bomb:
 
The 25% off didn't apply for me either tonight when I tried to price adjust. But, I got lucky and ran into a customer service person who actually knew what she was doing. She just took out a calculator and manually adjusted the prices for several $16.96 games that I had on my receipt. $12.72 for each after she was done. All my trade-ins to GC look even better now.

Well, I guess I had somewhat better luck than most here. I was price matching one of the 16.96 clearance games bought last week to get the extra 25% off and that somehow came to a 7.00 credit. I was also buying 6 new clearance games and they all rang up reduced but not as much as expected. All of the 16.96 games were 12.96; a 12.96 game came out at 11.96 and a couple of 8.96 games came out to 7.96 each. The poor gal was doing an awful lot of typing on that register so I figure it must have been some sort of manual discounting but not sure how she came up with the numbers. I guess this new math they are teaching in schools now has finally caught up with us; the real answers are not important as long as you feel good about yourself for trying.

Anyway, the total only came out to about $3.00 more than I was expecting so decided to let it slide. Figure the hour I was about to waste trying to explain the situation was not worth the effort. May go back later in the week and try buying just one game at a time to keep the math simple.

I understand what you're saying. And I'm not about to run over to SD or FW and say psst, guess what. Circuit City has games marked at this price but they're really this price and then watch as the cars go racing by so they could snap everything up as I laugh maniacally.

It's still a shitty store policy or laziness of CC to not properly mark items when they're reduced in price. Had the games already been marked correctly, none of us would be in here stating that we didn't get the additional 25% off. We all probably would have been able to just point to the price tag sticker and then the ad and have been on our way.

I've noticed the argument, if the games are marked correctly, none of us would have been able to buy games because they would have already been sold. In all likelihood probably not. We would have known about any clearance price reductions close to when they happened with our insiders and people posting here with what they've seen as I've certainly done in the past. We also don't know if what we say here doesn't reach a member somewhere who races off to the stores in his area to try and hoard every last copy of something, which is frowned upon as well, but it happens. That's a chance we take.

Now, from a non CAG perspective, a person not aware of CC's shitty pricing probably sees the sale in the paper, walks in and can't find any or few games ending in the XX.96. Before I knew about this site, that definitely would have been me. What to do then? Ask someone? The employees are hit or miss as we've seen today and I doubt that a person working there would know what the prices are if they aren't marked as a reduction. Pick up 20 games and have someone scan them? I did that with the 7 I bought and caught some attitude too in doing so. (Yeah right, like I wanted to go up there and have the cashier do that for the hell of it). The only reason I did this was because again of this site. You think I would have known to do it if it wasn't for this site? Wouldn't you be steamed if you couldn't find anything marked down despite it being advertised as 100s of games in store?

And like I said before, it also depends on the store. I've seen stores that are good at marking the prices down as the games drop and I've also seen stores that look like they couldn't give a shit less about doing anything like keeping games and dvds organized, let alone mark pricing. Finally, I highly doubt that my e-mail to them is going to make such a huge impact on the whole nationwide chain or even the one store I complained about today that's going to end up killing any advantage any of us have. If it does, then feel free to throw stuff at me. Just stay away from the face and balls.

Your lone email probally wont do anything, but theres sadly probally others like you that have emailed them before. Its not like your the first one thats had issues with this.

Which also brings up another point...if your going on saying all this crap that non-CAGers will miss out on deals....why tell CAGers that? In fact why even bring up the whole "I'm telling stores there items are priced wrong" ordeal. Its almost as if you want attention.
 
Looks like I'm not the only one that had problems with the 25% off not being in the system. I happened to find THAW and Bionicle Heroes, both for Xbox 360, and they came up the 16.96. I told the clerk that I saw in the ad that all clearance games were an additional 25% off and he saw the $40 price tag on the games and said the discount was already taken. So I used a tactic that has worked really well for me in the past. I told him that a friend of mine that lives up north found them at a CC for $16.96 and then they were $12 something after discount. He then asked where I got them and I showed him the bin that was clearly marked "Clearance Games $16.96". I think it helped that there were additional copies of each in the bin. He then grabbed the ad and found the deal, then made a phone call and got the ok from a manager. Pretty painless but it could have easily gone the other way with a clerk that didn't care. Good luck all.
 
[quote name='ZerotypeX']So...from what I am reading, most CCs are not price adjusting games bought in the past?[/quote]The only problems are because the system doesn't have the sale price. Once that's fixed, it will be business as usual.
 
Thanks for letting us know about the price drops...

I went in Sunday afternoon and picked up: DOAX2, DDR Universe, Happy Feet and Meet The Robinsons for the Wii.
 
Went last night after work. Cashier asked who I'm assuming was her manager about it since the prices didn't ring up lower with the 25% off. Manager said that all the titles weren't on sale despite the ad stating that all titles ending in with .96 were on sale. I couldn't possibly argue with stupidity (or ignorance?) so I gave up and left. I guess I have to wait until it rings up automatically.
 
Is Tiger Woods 07 on clearance? I thought I saw it in the bin last week, but the website has it for $49.99. I'll check again tonight...

Manager said that all the titles weren't on sale despite the ad stating that all titles ending in with .96 were on sale.
Click to expand...

That's bullshit, man. Don't they have to honor what the ad says?
 
mitch has a good point, but i would have to say that nemo has a better point. the point of CAGers is to find the games cheap, and being a cag takes alot of work. if said game was marked, the likelyhood of that being picked up by a non-cag is very high. checking for price eventhough its bothersome to employees is part of it.

an example i can remember was when grandia 3 was on sale at TRU for $9.99. they had about 10 of them, yes, 10 of them in the shelf with the tab price of $49.99. took it to the register to get it price scanned and rang up as $9.99, the cashier was shocked, so i grabbed like 1 more pretending i didnt know the price. if that was properly marked i probably wouldnt have had the chance to buy even 1. FW/SD's people would have posted them on their deal forums and our chances would have been slim. they are the hoards of all hoards.
 
I asked the cashier about that when the manager said they weren't on sale. All I got was a "I don't know..." The cashier interpreted "Titles vary by store" as not all titles were on sale. Both employees were just acting on what the computer rang up, not the ad. When I realized this I just gave up and left.

From a business/general economic view, Mitch is correct. The problem is, the corporate office have enough problems trying to get mgrs and associates to keep up in pricing, why have the consumers also ordering them about?

Case in point on the FW effect (NOT that I seriously ever though Mitch would rat deals out to FW!) - The $5 MP3 players. CC corrected the problem within 24 hrs of the error getting pointed out on FW. That was an ideal response time on CC Corporate's part, but it took 1000's of FW and SDers decending on the stores to make it a pressing enough issue for them to take decisive action quickly.

However, mismarked clerance titles still sit, as no one on FW has yet put together the whole list... jsut a game or 2 per post.
 
Please post if it appears that this deal has been corrected in CC systems. I'm thinking about a game or two if they're at $12.72, but I don't feel like driving over to fight with a cashier over the issue.
 
I like the ignorance of the employees/managers. It's only on select games/games pictured/etc. When it clearly states hundreds of titles in the ad.
 
Just got back. Error not fixed.

However, I had no problem getting last week's purchases corrected. I also found 2 copies of NFS Most Wanted Black Edition, they did not ring up with the extra 25%, but customer service fixed it manually without a word.

I am absolutely amazed. Still tons of Quake 4s, Bionicles, Eragons, Xmen for 360, 2x Chocobo tales on the shelf, and 4 bins of clerance games at my CC.

However, the Wii games that were listed on FW are all gone....

Sorry,I picked up PS2 versions, not sure about Xbox.

Saw a new copy of it at FYE (PS2)... still rings up $60. LOL
 
Well the 10% off coupons are for TVs and Receivers/Subwoofers/Speakers/DVD Recorders...so I'm not sure you'd be able to use one, unless you have a different 10% off coupon than the two I'm looking at now.
 
I just got back from one store near work (during my lunch break). scored the following:
chocobo tales (nds) x 2
dead or alive xtreme 2 (x360) x 2
space channel 2 special edition (ps2) x 2 - priced at $2.96 before the 25% off!
magical starsign (nds)
tomb raider: legend (psp)

as per everyone's else comments, the discounts didn't automatically come off and after having my stack of goods rung up, I had to make my way to a 2nd queue and have them all individually manually price adjusted. no issues though, and the girl adjusting my prices was fast, efficient, cute and had a nice demeanor (unlike so many other cc employees that I've come into contact with).

Yeah, I wasn't sure if the coupon was just presenting ideas on what to use them on or if they were only FOR that. Has anyone actually tried it? I may try it and report what happens. I don't really want to go through buying 200 dollars worth of stuff to get the 20% off and having to return it. I only want Chocobo Tales out of all of the clearance deals (picked up everything else from past drops)
 
system is still not updated.

i was able to get them to adjust the prices of the 7 games that i purchased 2 weeks ago, but it took 4 people to do it.

The customer service counter guy insisted that if it wasn't in the computer he wasn't going to give the discount. He wouldn't even call over a manager to confirm.

Went to the guy in the gaming section and he said that 25% off was 16.96. I had a copy of the game in my hand (marked $16.96) and my receipt showing $16.96 from a purchase 2 weeks ago and asked him how is this 25% off? And even if it is 25% off what was the original price that it was 25% off from? It surely wasn't a price that ended in .99 or .96 like EVERY other price in the store.

Finally I went to the register and she agreed with me regarding the wording. She flagged down the manager. He took one look at the add and said to manually adjust it.

Painful experience, but I got my money back on one trip. I still have one more receipt to adjust but it should be easier to do now.

It's the magic of the Big N. Put a "Nintendo" stamp on anything and it's automatically 50% better.
 
heh, I went to two different Circuit Cities yesterday.
The first one gave me no problems, and manually adjusted the price.
The second one rang the stuff in, and told me the non discounted price.
I said "Aren't these supposed to be 25% off?"
Employee: "yeah, they are, that's why their only $8.96 and $12.96."
Me: "No, those are your everyday clearance prices. I could come back next week when the ad is over and they'll still be those prices. The ad states an extra 25% off."
He had an ad near the register so I grabbed it and showed him. He then called a manager.
Manager: "um, it looks like they should be discounted an extra 25%, but if they aren't ringing up like that there's nothing I can do."
So I called him a jackass and left.

Did you even make a cursory check for a magazine rack nearby?
