Edit by Io - The most recent (1/26) drops are in the very beginning of the second post, so look there first!

------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT -- Feb 4th
Things have changed drastically since I started this thread and I've gone from a quality control monitoring job with other duties thrown in to monitoring double the amount plus the work of others. Bascially, I now do the job of three comparing the company now to that of a year ago thanks to layoffs and not hiring to replce people leaving. Plus I generally work 6 days a week and often ten hours with no break. I'd quit, but I have a hunch that our department will be hubbed in another city around July and I might as well hang in for the layoff package. Basically, this means I have zero time for internet and thread managing the way it should be done. My trade list and pm box fall by the wayside and I hardly email or even check my facebook/myspace. I didn't even find time to manage my fantasy football team and will completely forego baseball.

I know IO is busy enough as it is with a couple of threads, but if anyone wants to take over this thread and start a new one, please do so. Of course, I should have all the time in the world to keep it up to date if you want to wait unitl around July.

I got tired of going to TRU for the most recent clearance drops only to find more here on CAG from one of the three threads after I got back from the store. So I've compiled a list from the posts of Starving Gamer, Benboxer, life.exe, cmosfm, Kevzik's pics of lists at his store, the lists I saw at local TRUs and the many posts of awesome CAGs in those threads. I am by no means associated with TRU and I don't have inside information on upcoming drops, but I wanted to post a consolidated list to help other CAGs. As new drops occur Benboxer, Starving Gamer and anyone else is welcome to post new lists here and/or in seperate threads for more attention for the new items and I'll update the OP for total lists. Please keep in mind that some of these games are YMMV on price and as with all ongoing clearances availability is always YMMV as well. Most 9.90, 5.00 and 3.00 games are from the recent drop of a couple weeks ago. Thanks again for everyone's contributions and especially those early lists. I wanted to get this up and running and will do some tidying to the list as necessary. I'm not familiar with every game on the list so feel free to post or pm inconsistencies in titles!

NEW PLEASE READ SEE POST #2 FOR LATEST DROPS
A few things about pricing. All of the last round of drops are 9.90, 5.00, or 3.00. A lot of the 9.90 games were 19.98 before, most of the 5.00 were 9.98 and most of the 3.00 were 5.00. So if you see a game that is 19.98, chances are it may drop to 9.90 next drop which will probably be in a few months. As with any clearance a lot of these games may have been sold out at your store before they were even clearanced and now that the latest drop has been at least a month those games may be hard to find now, too. I do still see several 19.98 some 9.90 and some 5 & 3 games in this area. Don't forget to check the glass case and you can ask if a game is in back as sometimes this is the case.

Don't forget to post your trade wishes and wants in the Official TRU Trading Thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121672

READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHECKING THE LIST
Games in blue are from the latest drop, most of which were on clearance already at higher price points.
Games in green are VERY RARE games from the latest drop that were originally shipped to stores in VERY LIMITED quantities when the game was released and only a very few CAGs have found these.
Games in Yellow are have been widely reported as YMMV as pertains to price point.
Games in Orange are new reports that are awaiting confirmation

[quote name='manthing']Was it the one with Bankshot Billiards and 200 MS points?

If so, it was still $60 last time I checked.

But apparently it's gold, Jerry! Gold!


http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000B6MLQY/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1233168847&sr=8-9

:shock:

Never knew XBLA Bankshot Billiards was worth $40+[/QUOTE]


wtf???

I'll check that out when I go back tonight (for C+C 3 and a platinum gamecube.)


Btw, didn't anyone find that odd in my post? Platinum Gamecubes, that is. I haven't seen these for sale new in quite some time and know for a fact that this store didn't have them before.

There were about 20 of them, so I was thinking of getting one now (just to hold on to), then waiting to see if the rest would drop further.
 
My Santa Rosa, CA TRU had some new items last night.
Mass Effect $10 (3 left)
Orange Box $10 (only 2 PS3 left)
Frontlines $10 (none left)
Nights Wii $10 (6 left)
 
My local TRU has a scanner in the games department, almost all the time it is broken though. I tried it on Monday and it wouldn't pick up any games even though the games weren't in any type of security case.

I still had to ask for price checks since I saw Castlevania for PSP before it was reported to be $5.00
 
If anyone could pick up Mass Effect and Orange Box for the 360. ($20)
I would give you $25 Toys R Us giftcard plus pay shipping

Edit: Tales of Symphonia and eturnal sonata(360) too. I have $50 ToysRUs gift card. We can work something out depending what you find.
 
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is the best version of one of the best handheld series ever.
Advance Wars: Dual Strike is the worst game in the series (in the US), but still worth $10

[quote name='heyheyhey11']How is advance war ds?

I saw bunch of nights and AW. More than enough to wait for next drop for 5 buck nights and 10 bucks AW.

I'm was hoping to find no more hero and mass effect but didn't .

Also, one GH aerosmith bunlde on ps3 coated 35 bucks. To me, that's a
Very good deal. Ps2 version rang up 30buvks.[/QUOTE]
 
Picked up:

:ps3:

Orange Box (I missed Portal from selling my 360 copy)
Unreal Tournament 3


Saw these and haven't seen them mentioned:

:wii: Official Nintendo Component cable $9.98
 
[quote name='georox']Bullshit. Nothing alike. Mass Effect is an extremely clunky game, with poor inventory management, worthless skills, terribad vehicle driving sections, and fairly bad combat. Fallout 3 is fairly solid. I also must say, Fallout 3 had a much more interesting story. :/
[/quote]

Mass effect was a good space opera.

However, I agree 100% about the driving. First time I went into the damn thing I expected it to behave like a Halo 3 warthog. Instead, I got this thing that handles like a truck from a Wii shovelware racing game...
 
[quote name='shoe478']I saw GRAW 2 (360) for $9.98.[/quote]

For cereal? Sweeeet. I've been wanting that game. I better go check out TRU.
 
[quote name='BarbblerElf']Tales of Symphonia and eturnal sonata(360) too. I have $50 ToysRUs gift card. We can work something out depending what you find[/QUOTE]


Has anyone ever found a copy of Eternal Sonata at their TRU for $10? I think someone saw a tag for it but no one (to the best of my knowledge) has ever said they bought a copy from TRU. Not knocking someone wanting a copy, just curious if anyone ever located one.
 
[quote name='Pelican']Just got back from my disturbingly empty Toys R Us...I wasn't even sure it was open - there were 3 cars in the lot and all the lights were dim lol

Anyway I got 4 games for 35 bucks total:

No More Heroes
Blacksite Area 51
Frontline Fuel of War
Viva Pinata: PA

There were a few other NMH's in there too, so if you live near Bradenton/Sarasota FL go check it out! PM me if you wanna trade for NMH.[/quote]


Did Blacksite drop to $10 or $20

Not that I'm aware of. And that was a year or so ago so there's no way any more are in stock at TRU now.

[quote name='yukafls']Did Blacksite drop to $10 or $20[/QUOTE]

It probably dropped to $9.98 since it was $19.98 before (I believe). I know the TR: Anniversary (Wii) I bought was $19.98 last week and $9.98 on Monday.
 
[quote name='phear3d']i went to this location several times earlier last year and the year before. found ALOT of goodies :) ...[/quote]

There's never anyone in there...I don't know how they stay in business. I have found some nice deals there in the past, though.

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']might snag unreal tournament on PS3.[/quote]

We've got a pretty fun crew that plays on Monday nights. You should hop on with us if you pick it up! :twoguns:
 
Picked up a copy of UT3 for PS3.

I'd like to trade it for a copy of The Orange Box for PS3 since they didn't have it at my TRU. Did have about, oh, 15 copies of it for 360 though >_< .

My friend and I have hit a combined 3 TRU's now in Phoenix and can't find even a single copy of the game for the 360. I wonder why there are such large variations in store stock like this.
 
[quote name='Wheeliedude']So, do those Soul Bubbles cards expire?
Mine doesn't seem to have a date on it.[/QUOTE]

they may have given you a normal gift card accidentally... the one I had very clearly had a 1/31/09 expiration on it.

Buying $50 worth of clearance games because I had a $10 GC to burn was a little frustrating.. but at least they were good deals!

Man i really need a copy of orange box!! would you be able to pick it up and mail it for me if i pay you through paypal??

I remember seeing it at one of my local TRU' when it came out. But that was the last time and of course I finally purchased MY 360 after it went on clearance so I missed the opportunity to find it. Not that I haven't looked.

Matter of fact I haven't seen it anywhere lately.

I've seen 4 or so copies among all the various blockbusters I went to during the b1g1 (never bit for some foolish reason). May want to try there?
 
Picked up at the Swansea, MA location:

:360:
Viva Pinata: Party Animals - $5

:psp:
Every Extend Extra - $5

Saw:
2-3 more copies of VP:pA
1x Unreal Tournament :ps3: in the cabinet
:psp: - various 08 sports, virtua tennis 3 - $5
 
Went back to TRU today and they didn't have very much available.

I picked up:

Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles (PS2) $5.00
Nights (Wii) $9.98

Not the greatest pickups during a TRU sale like in the past, but still some decent games on the cheap! I was looking for more cheap Wii games (like Wing Island), but I didn't see any. If anyone can get a copy on the cheap, pm me.
 
Snagged an extra OB for ps3 and 360 if anyone is interested in trading they can hit me up. Dont worry, I wont charge "slidecage prices" on clearance items.
 
You know, I can never find TRU clearance games. I go to the R zone and I can't find anything related to clearance. I wouldn't mind some of those PS2 games on clearance.
 
Picked up a copy of UT3 for 9.99 yesterday but really hoped to get FEAR for ps3, others having good luck on FEAR copies?
 
[quote name='jerem022']Picked up a copy of UT3 for 9.99 yesterday but really hoped to get FEAR for ps3, others having good luck on FEAR copies?[/quote]

Not at TRU, but they will be dropping at Sears soon.
 
I've been to 5 different TRU's this week and haven't been able to find a single copy of The Orange Box on PS3, goddammit...TONS of 360 versions, though.

I picked up 2 copies of the 360 version, if anyone's interested in a trade.
 
Went to TRU, they didn't have ANY good clearance games for 360. All they had was Avatar: Burning Earth for $10. Lame.
 
Picked up Mass Effect. They had a ton. Still no shortage of Orange Box, either. :D Inquiry: Those Monster 360 cables on clearance -- anyone know if they support optical audio?
 
[quote name='jaysapathy']Inquiry: Those Monster 360 cables on clearance -- anyone know if they support optical audio?[/QUOTE]

I didn't see Monster cables on clearance at TRU, but if it's the same ones I have (component), it comes with a little adapter that you can use to plug an optical cable into, but doesn't come with the cable itself. Nicer fit than the official cables too if you're doing HDMI+optical.
 
Cool as hell -- the cables on clearance at my TRU are the MonsterLink component cables + optical audio. $10 for the component cables AND a 10 foot optical audio cable.

I wasn't planning on picking these up for my new Arcade system, but my TV can't handle anything beyond a 640x480 resolution through HDMI, thanks to the 360. 1080i works just fine through component.. And if I'm using HDMI, no optical out. Liking this system less and less..

Edit: THESE sexy bitches: http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=3559
 
Not a single clearance game from the new list at my TRU. I really don't think they've restocked anything since Christmas either. Lots of missing tags, lots of empty shelf space. They haven't mentioned anything about going out of business at this store, but it certainly looks like they are headed that way.
 
Huntington Beach, CA - Picked up NCAA March Madness 08 for $9.98. No other copies of that game in clearance bin.

Fullerton, CA - Thrillville Off the Rails for $9.98. No other copies...

New clearance items?
 
[quote name='briandadude']Not amazing but if you're looking for a last minute item to use your gift card on, LocoRoco 2 (preorder) ships free.[/quote]


That's something I could buy.. brother wants some PSP games.. is LocoRoco any fun? If its anything like Patapon I'll probably get it. Thanks brian !
 
[quote name='manthing']Dear Prim4444:

Could you please keep this thread updated on Zune accessories, if possible?

Thanks.[/quote]

yeah Im interested in the Zune Accessories too..
 
I went to 2 TRUs today in the Nashville area. At Bellevue, I bought Unreal Tournament III PS3, Blacksite: Area 51 360, and Need for Speed Prostreet PS3. It was the only copy of each, except for Blacksite, of which there were 3 others that the employees had already pulled for themselves before I got there. They also had a few Orange Box 360, none for PS3. I didn't buy anything at the Rivergate store, but they have 2 Orange Box PS3, and several Mass Effect 360. I didn't find any Fear or No More Heroes today, or when I checked the Cool Springs store earlier in the week. At least I managed to use up my Soul Bubbles GC.
 
Not sure if it was mentioned since it wasn't on the main list but Karaoke Revolution American Idol Encore for Playstation 2 (just the game) is $5.00
