*DEAD* Circuit City mistake - 5 dollar games!! (YMMV)

[quote name='djak1']no go in NJ (for those who have yet to try)...after I got to the register, the CSR said that in order to get the 2 for $30 deal, cust svc would have to do the override = rang up "properly" :cry: oh well

thx anyway OP :D[/quote]

i also live in NJ nd i tried to do it saturday for espn nba 2k5 nd it rang up 19.99... =/ but it might just not wrk in nj but try it cory02
 
Man I just found out about this. my circuit city is closed now but I sure as hell hope this goes on tomorrow as well I will be going first thing in the morning
 
[quote name='ave1']Just saw a post over at Gamefaqs (XBox forum) where someone got Atari Anthology for $5. Go get it!

Steve A.[/quote]
Atari Anthology has been $5 at CC since the summer sale.
 
Alright! I just got back!
Got 8 titles.
Bellevue Crossroads Circuit City
They rang up just as said.
A lady right before me raised heck about ripping them off, so I tried to find a different cashier. This different guy was cool about it. :) My roommate was a bit slow in picking out titles, so he ended up with the heckled guy and didn't have a chance to get the $5 prices. :(

Note:
Virtua 4 Evo was tagged at $15 and rang up at $15, so it seems only $20 titles count.

Note2:
20:1 this'll be fixed by Monday morning.

eating my words.... with a slew of games to prove it.....


THANKS OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']Atari Anthology just got released recently. Maybe you're thinking of Activision Anthology.[/quote]
*looks at shelf*
Yup, I'm not thinking clearly.
 
Kain Vincent.. you and I have similar post counts. We live near each other. And we both have two mushrooms in our sig. weird huh?

I never noticed that until you mentioned it. That is weird.
 
Do you have to have them ring up 2 games to get the discount? Because I just had the register price check each one individually, and they were all ringing up for 19.99.
 
Erie PA CC Is a no go. They manually changed the prices stating that someone forgot to put the 1 infront of the 4.99 on the comps. I was mad at first because I missed out on a sweet sweet sweet deal but thanks for posting anyways.

Yeah, they have to be purchased in two's.
 
Worked at the CC in Richmond, VA. I managed to pick up the following for $20:

Tony Hawk Underground PS2
Final Fantasy X-2 PS2
Simpsons Hit and Run PS2
Kingdom Hearts PS2

Woot! Thanks OP!
 
It doesn't work for all 19.99 games... I tried to get Drakengard w/Animal Crossing, and it threw off the 4.99 for Animal Crossing.

I will say this though... thanks for deal OP.
 
[quote name='wubb']Didn't work for me at the Fairfax VA Circuit City. (Just got back)[/quote]

Yeah, I can confrim this also. Didn't work at the Fairfax, VA CC for me too. Hey Wubb when were you there, I was there at 6:30 PM. Also, did you notice how they didn't have a good selection of Xbox games. Anyway, I tried to get Everything or Nothing and Project Gotham 2 and it didn't work. Also, Xenosaga was $15 so that didn't work either.
 
Damn, I wish my CC had the selection of some of the ones you guys are going to. Jak II, R&C 2, and FFX-2 are all tagged $30 at my store, and they have about 7 Xbox PH games titles total.

Still glad I got the two I got, though.
 
Found out about this on my own (was getting some games for the brother-in-law), and pulled in a decent amount.

Biggest hits were:
Guilty Gear X 2 (Xbox)
Hitman 2 (Xbox)
THUG (Xbox)
KOTOR (Xbox)
Simpsons Hit & Run (PS2)
Simpsons Road Rage (PS2)
 
this deal is INSANE.

i picked up (some for myself, some for gifts):

second sight
psi-ops
sonic mega collection plus
kingdom hearts
mario golf toadstool tour
simpsons hit and run
super mario sunshine
zelda windwaker
castlevania lament of innocence
midway arcade treasures 2
f-zero gx
ultra bust-a-move
guilty gear x2 reload
the sims
metroid prime
star wars knights of the old republic
beyond good and evil

thank you OP, and thank you CAG!!
 
Thanks OP. Picked up Rainbow Six 3, LOTR: RTK, 007: EON and ESPN NBA 2K5 for Xbox. Would have gotten more but they were closing up.
 
You know, every time one of these deals come up, I end up losing just a little bit more respect for the userbase of CAG.

I wish they had Beyond good and evil at my store. I would definately have picked it up!
 
Hey everyone,

I just got back from Circuit City in north Austin, TX. It seems that Corporate has sent out an email to the employees about the ad.

"Games are to be rung up separately, outside of the (something) area."

That's why it's game over for some people (including me). Good luck.

It doesn't matter what they are tagged. Have them price checked and they will more than likely be $19.99. They have DOA 2: Hardcore marked as $49.99 and it rings up $4.99.

Nice that you felt the need to post.
 
I had another topic on this, but I may as well keep this to one topic.
I got:

Need for Speed: Underground (PS2)
Socom II: US Navy Seals (PS2)
Tekken 4 (PS2)
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2)
007: Everything or Nothing (PS2)
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (PS2)
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GCN)
Super Mario Sunshine (GCN)

Total came up at $42.72. I bet someone at Corporate got fired for this one.

When you are actually a worthwhile contributor to the site, either in word or in deed, then I'll listen to what you have to say.
Until then you are either a vulture or a noob. Take your pick.
 
Worked for me today. Asked a guy on the floor he told me 2 for 30. Went to check out, gut at register said if I got two each would be 5. Worked well. Thanks OP. Picked up Bond: EON and a new Casino game for the XBOX.

Okay. Than may I ask why you feel that way?
 
i went to one cc...they scanned at 4.99, but a manager said no...i didnt think it was worth the fight, i spent almost 4 hours in a hospital with a friend today, so i didnt feel up to it.

jsweeney, dont let the n00bs get to you...but im sure you already know that ^^

LMFAO... sent you a PM, since this has no place in this thread. (Wow, a "noob" using PMs to discuss something OT... what in blue blazes is going on, Reginald?!)

Just like I predicted... I have nothing worth trying for on tomorrow but I'll at least try with 4 more, and if it's a no go, then I'll live. I don't know if the store I go to will get any type of memo, but you never know...
 
[quote name='trunks982']any more ideas what GH or PC games to get? most of the games u ppl posted i already have in my collection.[/quote]

Check the Xbox, PS2, and GC forums. They have stickies that list all the GH, PC, and PH games.
