I went to the BB at the Arboretum in Austin, TX yesterday. They had about 30 copies of Wario Ware GC, but it was still marked at $29.99. :(
 
people - bring yer damn games to a register - the price is adjusted down! not every employee can do every price change in an instant so it may look expensive, but its not gonna be at the register! damn - n00B shoppers.......
 
Just be sure you get the right system. There seems to be some confusion. Wario World and Wario Ware (GBA) are $5, Wario Ware GC is NOT. Batman Sin Tzu for XBOX is $5, Batman ST for GC is NOT. I've noticed some people are getting confused as to title and system and reporting back that it's not happening at their store. Just double check that it's exactly what's listed.
 
Here's a couple my brother and I managed to find that aren't listed:

Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue (GBA)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)

Yay. I finally had something to contribute! :shock:
 
Oh, ok thanks Bradr. I had been reading that wrong.

Manimal: I failed to add this but I had taken it up to the register to check. But I had the wrong game anyway so my bad. :)
 
I didn't see these on the main list, but I got em today...

GBA - Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition
PS2 - Tribes: Arieal Assault

That's all!
 
Yikes. I came in soooo late on this. :( I really should've tried sneaking away to Best Buy during my lunch break yesterday, instead of waiting until this morning. Ah well...

I picked up Wario World and Golden Sun: The Lost Age for $5, RPG Maker II for $10, and a Harry Potter GBC game that was $1 as a gag gift. Disappointed that I missed DMC2.

-Hoshi
 
I just got back from the BB in Carbondale, Illinois and scored big time. I ended up getting the following for the Xbox, all for $5:

Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
ESPN Football 2K4
Disney Extreme Skate Adventure
Wakeboarding Unleashed
The Italian Job
Bionicle
Rayman 3
Spyhunter

I also scored Soul Caliber 2 for $15 through a price match with Circuit City and the Gamer Gift Card coupon. I had absolutly no hassle with any part of transaction. The checkout guy was stunned when I walked up with 9 games until he saw that they were all $5 a piece. I had to walk him through the whole "activate the gift card then use it to pay for my games and the coupon too" but he thought it was a great idea and was going to use this "trick" the next time he buys a game. He said that employees don't get discounts on video games for whatever reason.
I did ask another salesperson if they were going to restock games that were out of stock and how long the sale was going to be. She said that the new $5 price was for good and that they would sell those games until BB no longer carried them. She also said that other games that were $50 they had just dropped to $20 so that they could move a massive amount of inventory. I flashed her a smile and asked her in the smoothest voice that I've got (I think she was scared) what the deal was, why was BB trying to dump all of these games so quick. She said it was E3. BB saw all the new stuff on the horizon and is making room, period. Is she right? Is she wrong? Is she crazy or full of shit? I don't know and I don't care because it ROCKS!
I will say that the stock was pretty well picked over and that they didn't have half the title listed in the master list, Otogi being the one that I want desperatly. So if anybody has Otogi and they want something else give me a hollar at [email protected] and I'll see if I can find what ya need at our BB in Carbondale.
 
[quote name='bignastyogre']Here's a couple my brother and I managed to find that aren't listed:

Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue (GBA)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)

Yay. I finally had something to contribute! :shock:[/quote]

any Metroid game for $5 is a great find, well done! ;)
 
If someone could snag one (or all of these) for me I'd be happy to pay plus shipping costs and a few bucks extra for the trouble:

PS2
Devil May Cry 2
.Hack Part 1

GC
Gladius
Lost Kingdoms 2

XBox
Crimson Sea
Metal Arms
Otogi
Syberia

GBA
Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak

Especially want Lost Kingdoms 2, Hamtaro and Otogi. email me: [email protected]
 
I managed to sang Evil Dead: Fistfull of Boomstick (PS2) and Tribes: Aerial Assualt (PS2). Didn't see them listed on the Master List.
 
Just to let everyone know, all 4 Orlando, FL area stores have nothing left. I went to all 4 (FL Mall, West Oaks Mall, Altamont, Waterford Lakes) and I could only pick up Miniority Report, Parappa 2, and Batman RoST for PS2. If anyone wants to trade one of those for

[Guilty Gear X-2 or Wiplash] PS2
[Wario World or Gozilla] GNC

Please PM me!

Thanky! 8)
 
[quote name='Medium_Pimpin'][quote name='dracula'][quote name='dhrez']Nothing in Santa Clara, CA. Was told one person bought every single game (one of the workers tried to get his manager to implement "1 copy of each game limit" to stop this guy but it didn't work). I found a couple games that where in odd places but I scoured everywhere and they were the last.[/quote]

Dude that is the gayest thing I have ever heard. One guys bought up all the games? multiple copies of everything? That is shaq-fuing sick[/quote]

Yeah that is gay, i was one of the first few people in my BB and i only bought 4 games out a possible 20+ I had a couple hundred dollars in my wallet, i could have easily cleared them out... but who wants to ruin the sale for everyone. Still, first come first serve.[/quote]

those selfish bastards make me sick. i only bought 1 copy of each and even left the one's i didn't want. i also let other customers in the store check out the list i printed out and even gave it away when i left best buy. :)
 
Went to the Riverhead, Long Island, NY store just now. Not only did they not have any of the games but one (i-Ninja), the guy working there blew me off when I asked him to price check it, saying he had "no idea where these $5 game rumors were coming from, but they are simply not true".

I've had problems with this store before in that either their entire staff is grossly uninformed, or they start all their sales significantly later than stores elsewhere. Feh on them.

Went to all 3 San Antonio Best Buy's...


Ingram: Only had NHL 2003 for PS2 and The Great Escape
Live Oak/The Forum: Got 2 copies of BG&E for GC and a copy of Pac Man for PS2
Northstar: Had NHL Hitz Pro, Jimmy Neutron, Matt Hoffman Pro 2 all for for PS2 along with a few others I can't remember.

So I ended up with
BG&E (2)
Pac Man
Jimmy Neutron
Matt Hoffman Pro 2
all for $26

I am interested in possibly trading a BG&E for Metal Arms - Xbox

Only 1 worked at my 3 stores had heard of it. He know which games were in stock and which weren't off hand. The other 2 stores, the people working had a hard time believing they were only $5.
 
I just hit the Best Buy in Sterling VA...

Picked up (and there were more of all these titles)

Superman (Xbox)
Termination 3 (Xbox)
Big Mutha Trucker (Xbox)

Also saw...

Disney Skating (GC)
Spyro (GBA)

Didn't look in the PS2 section

Thanks for the heads up SHADOWs916
 
[quote name='trunks982']i went to brooklyn, NY this morning at 10am. i only saw battlebots for 4.99. thats it. damn i want golden sun so bad[/quote]

Thanks trunks 982, I will check Yonkers if I get a chance...
 
i was able to pick up a number of games but it is frightening to be shopping next to guys with lists just grabbing multiple copies of every single $4.99 game
 
Rockville, MD --- squat. Gaithersburg MD had Unlimited Saga and the city-crisis-rescue game (Ps2, don't remember the title) labeled at 4.99, but zero in stock. They did have a bunch of Half-Life and Thing (ps2) at 4.99. I also saw a Ace Combat 04 + Midnight Club (ps2) COMBO for 4.99. That's 2.50/2.49 each!
 
Dammit, I didn't get jack squat. My local BB, BestBuy.com, and all the BBs near my friends are completely cleaned out. I really wanted FIFA 2004 for GBA. :(
 
I'm starting to think we should organize a CAG task force for cases like this... a group of us agree to buy large numbers of titles whenever a wacky deal like this takes place, and to them resell them at the face value to the rest of the CAG community. If we don't need all the titles we purchase, we can either return them or resell on eBay.
 
guys, most of this stuff was old stock anyway, so the clearance was mostly for what was remaining. Most BBs only had 1 or 2 copies left. Some stores probably haven't had most of those titles in months.
 
Frederick, MD has NOTHING. it was a 45 minute drive too. what a waste of a day. if anyone can pick me up a 4.99 copy of I-Ninja for Gamecube, PM and i'll pay for it + shipping. thanks.
 
For anyone in Columbus, OH. I went to the Tuttle Crossing store at lunch and they had NOTHING. They didn't even have any 4.99 tags, so it's not as though they've been picked over - there are simply no games in the store under 10 bucks (jampacks not counting).

If anyone sees anything at another BB in Columbus, please post. Mainlyl looking for Wario World and Godzilla for Cube, plust Wario Ware for GBA.
 
Anyone been to the BB in West Covina,CA? I went to the one in Pasadena and notta.. And others in this topic confirmed nothing at the one in Fullerton..

Also has anyone tried price matching? Im thinking of doing so today..
 
[quote name='AzN_BaLLeR']OMG I have a great idea with the price matching!!

Notice.. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/05/24/news_6099189.html

Lists the prices of the games.. And Circuit City matches prices using this site with gamespot being a trustable site.. Cha Ching price matched!! I will try this tonight, after I go to West Covina Best Buy.[/quote]

As long as the circuit city employee doesn't call to confirm that your local best buy has them in stock ;)

The Queens Blvd store had multiple copies of Star Wars for GC marked at $5.00.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I also noticed that Sphinx and the cursed Mummy was 9.99 for PS2.

Still upset I didn't get:
WarioWare
Wario World
Metal Arms

Again thanks, OP

Yes and they ask the price too so if the manager changed it at the location close to your cc then you are screwd. Not to mention that the phone call is just a bs cover so they can say there isn't any in stock just so they don't take a big loss if the price match is too huge. My cc won't pm anything cause no one goes there and they can't afford to take a hit
