[quote name='Demolition Man']For the record "Ultimate Spiderman" did come up at $8.96 at my location. Plus it is part of the PS2 markdowns so its not far fetched to see the DS version get an identical markdown.[/QUOTE]

I know...probably haven't gotten to it yet.
 
[quote name='Hoffgod']Most of those are bad, bad games (especially Marvel: Nemesis and King Kong, which, I kid you not, will reset your DS). However, Trace Memory I'd highly recommend and Polarium is supposed to be good. Not Meteos or Tetris DS good, but good.
Guilty Gear and Pac N Roll are supposed to be okay. Probably worth a shot at $9.
And I've actually heard the DS version of Goldeneye called the best version of that game... which is really, really sad. Shame on you EA. Shame.

Actually, to add some context, here's the GameRankings.com rankings on all these games.
DS
Star Wars Episode 3 - 71.9%
Polarium - 74.9%
Spyro - 52.4%
Ultimate Spiderman - 75.8%
Dragon Ball Z Super Sonic Warriors 2 - 69.6%
Finding Nemo - 64.5%
Goldeneye - 57.7%
Guilty Gear - 64%
The Incredibles - 56.6%
King Kong - 26%
Madden 2005 - 67.4%
Marvel Nemesis - 31.1%
Monster Truck DS - 33%
Need For Speed Underground 2 - 65.8%
Sponge Bob Yellow Avenger - 59.2%
Pac N Roll - 72.9%
Scooby Doo Unmasked - 63.7%
Tiger Woods PGA - 63.4%
Trace Memory - 72%
The Urbz - 66.6%

GBA
Grand Theft Auto - 71%
Sword Of Mana - 72%
Wario Ware Inc - 89.4%
Metroid Zero Mission - 90%
Final Fantasy IV Advance - 84%
Tales Of Phantasia - 74%

Hopes that helps all you CAG's out.[/QUOTE]

You bet it does. Once we receive confirmation on the titles Demo didn't have access to, this should go in the OP.
 
So why clearance out FF 4 now and then advertise it at $19.99 next week...? Maybe this is one of those $8.96 for a day titles before the system resets itself, like we saw last time with some PS2 titles?

I'll grab Supersonic Warriors 2 and Guilty Gear for the DS... everything else I either own or don't care about.

The list is not quite the hits I was expecting... oh well, though. FF IV and Phantasia are good for the people who don't have them, though.
 
[quote name='Hoffgod']I've been looking for a good price on Polarium for a while, anyways.[/QUOTE]
Not to threadcrap at all (because it's a great thread), but you can get Polarium for $5 right now, as well as Feel the Magic and Retro Atari. Toys R Us has them for $9.99, and there's a $5 off any DS game coupon, making them $4.99. Check the $5 off at TRU thread.

You know I work for the company and even I'm baffled on this one. The only thing I can think of is that somehow CC corp decided to mark this one down to $8.96 after seeing that having it on sale isn't moving stock. But we'll see this Sunday what happens.
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']How about leaving them for people who want to buy them to PLAY them instead? Last time I checked this is Cheap Ass GAMER, not Cheap Ass Hoarder aka Fat Wallet.

(And yes my friends... that is a SHOOT)[/quote]

No, gamers are dirty and evil and don't deserve bargains. I use all my Gamerush credit to rent Mary Kate and Ashley movies because gaming sucks. I'm going to buy every copy of every game on the list the store has.
 
Damn you! Friggin classic plastic. Then it's Circuit City markdowns. Then it's buy 2 get 1 free at Game crazy. When will you stop torturing me!!!?!?!?!!

No that's cool that you mention this. $5 is even better than $8.96. My TRU has been out of Polarium for a long time tho so if I decide to get it then I might have to settle for $8.96.

Thanks for the info tho Damian. :D

I'm fine with you saying gaming sucks....... only if those Mary Kate and Ashley movies are porno ones. :lol:

Well, on the first round of PS2 markdowns, DBZ Tenkaichi, Sly 2, Jak 3 and some others were $8.96 for half a day or a day, then they went back to full price and stayed there ever since.

Maybe the same thing is going to happen here?

Also, CC dosen't update all of it's systems at one time, and its a store by store thing? I would think they'd have a main computer that would just automatically mark everything down all at once.

Hopefully there are some more GBA markdowns.

i am gussing it is because the ads are printed weeks ago, and at that tiem the sale isnt planned.
 
I'm debating going right at 10 am, but I don't know... I still found the games I wanted well after they were posted, because nobody knew about this sale, and my local CC has about 20 copies of DBZ: Supersonic Warriors 2.

Probably the same with Guilty Gear.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']I too feel like going at 10 but don't feel like wasting gas if my store isn't running the deal yet.

;)[/QUOTE]

Well, the games I want probably aren't even in high demand... if I needed things like FF 4 or Phantasia though, I'd be out the door at 10 am ;)
 
Eh who am I kidding, I'll be there at 10 am tomorrow. I just want Polarium and Trace Memory. I'll also see if they have a FF4 and will pick one up for trade here.
 
[quote name='beerguy961']Games aren't coming up on CC.com at that price for me.[/QUOTE]

Congratulations...you allowed me to win the pool of 'who doesn't completely read the OP' betting.

Espically the big red message that says "Read me before posting".
 
Hmm. I might look into Trace Memory. If I don't like it, I'm sure I could at least break even by Ebaying it. As for the guy wanting to trade the games in. I say he can buy all the copies of King Kong and Marvel Nemesis he wants just to make sure no one gets suckered into buying those piles of crap.
 
these deals are awesome but they aren't coming up on CC.com yet....;)

But seriously, has anyone tried to order them over the 1-800 number....I know certain companies update their phone catalog before their website

Stores are going to be opening in 8.5 hours. We'll know something shortly after, I'm sure. As for me, I might stop by for the hell of it after the gym.
 
what everyone needs to do including myself is stop posting on this thread until there is some concrete evidence of it working online or in stores, we cant really hide it from SD and FW but keeping off the front page cant hurt

I think Demo's receipt is pretty powerful proof. Only thing we are waiting for is confirmation of all the titles.
 
I want the GBA RPG's. I wish CC had price scanners in their store like alot of other stores like Walmart and TRU do. Everytime I get that survey receipt they give you, I mention in the comments section how I would like price scanners in their store so I don't have to go and price check everything.
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']I think Demo's receipt is pretty powerful proof. Only thing we are waiting for is confirmation of all the titles.[/QUOTE]

I should have something within the next day or two.
 
STOP. No one move. Leave this post be. FW and SD fucks will ebay this shit 10:01am tomorrow. Just everyone go and check tomorrow. I'm checking 3 ~Raleigh, NC stores and will post accordingly. Theres no point in posting until 10am tomorrow, anyways.
 
Looks like the checkout is working on some of the titles as I just tested a few of them and its going through to the address page. Before it didn't get that far.
 
As a new DS owner this is fantastic. I will be going to my local CC to check GTA and AND many other games. thanks cags I'll be checking this thread.
 
I am going to make this very clear to SD and FW - if any of you members from either site (and I know you lurk here) decide to copy and paste my info to your site you better damn well give us CAG credit for the info.
 
[quote name='Sway']Man, this was/is/going to be an awesome week for DS owners, thanks Demo Man![/QUOTE]

Only if you're a fan of mediocre titles.

It would be different if this list had something like Kirby's Canvas Cruse, Super Princess Peach, or Brain Age, but this list is pretty average and nothing really worth fighting people over for the DS specific games.

The GBA list, so far, is far far better. And yes, I know the DS can play GBA games, I just meant the DS specific titles.

I was thinking the same thing, the only thing i want on there is guilty gear.
 
I wouldn't expect to see any major titles get such big markdowns like this Roufuss - at least not for a good bit. But still there are a few decent DS titles that are worth grabbing for $8.96 so I won't complain much. I understand GBA getting the markdowns like this tho since room does need to be made for more DS titles. But dayom... FF4 Advance for $8.96? Tales Of Phantasia for $8.96? Talk about almost giving these away. Especially Phantasia which has only been out for a few months.
 
fuck i shoulda checked CAG before going to work. I looked at PS2 games in the comp but not DS games. Now I gotta go back on my day off. double fuck!
 
Anyone who thinks that there isn't at least one FW or SD person lurking the deals forum at any given second is only kidding themselves.
