CAGiversary!
The 4.99 price for clearance games has been posted in circuit city's sunday advertisement; so it's likely that any held stock will be released tommorrow. No games posted, just generic "4.99 game clearance" sign (it's kinda small in the corner).
A possible reason for the games being held (after me rethinking this) is that there are certain laws against bait and switch advertisements (where a store purposely under-orders or doesn't stock a sale priced item to get customers into the store to buy other stuff that costs more). It's highly possible that circuit city pulled games to meet the chainwide requirements of the ftc (is that the right agency) as said requirements are actually quite high I believe it's at least 20-40,000 chainwide for advertised items with advertised prices.
This is why you will see target ads with "low price" or bestbuy ads with the same.
