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='Pojo']Does anyone know how much NBA Street PS3 is?

The TRU in Slidell, LA has Oblivion for $10.[/quote]

Gah, that's the same one that I go to, though not very often. is it cleaned out? I haven't been there in a couple of months. I'd like to pick up Zack & Wiki though.
 
I picked up 1 of 3 remaining copies of Geometry Wars DS in Hamden, CT.

They had about 4 copies of EBA, 1 copy of Beautiful Katamari, 1 x Splinter Cell Wii, 4 x Zack and Wiki.

No sign of Rune Factory or RE4. Might try Milford, CT later in the week.

I thought I would let you all know that the latest clearance prices are now online as well.
Not all of them. The two I'm looking for, RE4 Wii and Rune Factory, are still full price online. I'll be keeping a close eye on them, though.
 
Went to Caesar's Bay, and got me a Zack and Wiki. They were not marked, but the scan did go through, the cost of a SJ Graphic Novel at retail price. I went for FF3, obviously they did not have it.
 
Went yesterday and picked up RE4 (x2 - left one for my fellow local CAG, we collaborate but have never met:cool:), Zak and Wiki, Katamari, Dragon Tales.

I was also pointed (by the nice but slightly creepy TRU game expert) at a separate display area which had just TONS of PS2 games for 9.90 and 20%. I picked up Dora and Go Diego as well as Horsez and 2 DWTS Mat & Game packs. They also had Singstar Pop = 7.92 each. They had Tiger woods 08, Nascar 08, Ice age, Catz - just tons of action, adventure and sports games. Not sure if this is posted - but for the PS2 crowd there is a great deal to be played for 8 bucks.

Also got Rainbow 6 PSP for 7.98 (and left the second one for my CAG buddy).

Thanks for all the posts and reports guys - my wallet is thinner but my game shelf overfloweth with goodness!!!!

Cheers

G
 
I was at my local TRU yesterday and today and picked up each for $7.98:

Resident Evil 4 Wii (x 2 - ended up flipping extra copy) 2 copies left in store
Virtua Fighter 5 - PS3
Rune Factory - DS
Geometry Wars - DS
Trauma Center: Under the Knife - DS

There were plenty of copies of Zack and Wiki, Virtua Fighter 5, and misc. sports games. The DS games were not in the usual clearance bin and were not marked, so I had to search for them on the shelves. There was a couple copies of Rune Factory and Trauma Center left, a lot of Geometry Wars. If I can be of help to any fellow CAG let me know and I'll see if I can pick something up for you.
 
[quote name='yukafls']No, but you could argue it from them.[/quote]

Hmm. Give me some tips. I really really really really really really want Lost Planet Colonies Edition but not at $30. So what can I do to haggle with them?
 
[quote name='FurryCurry']Hmm. Give me some tips. I really really really really really really want Lost Planet Colonies Edition but not at $30. So what can I do to haggle with them?[/quote]
The Colonies Edition rang up @ $29.99 yesterday, and they had lots of copies.
Would LOVE to know how to get it for $7.98 too
 
The only way you'll be able to argue it is if some clueless employee marked it as the clearance version. Arguing that it should be clearance when it's clearly not marked will only make you look like an a'hole.
 
Interesting drops on the GBA side-- I picked up Super Mario 3 (Super Mario Advance 4) and they also had whichever Mario advance was Super Mario World. Both were 7.98 after 20%.
Also snagged Zack and Wiki, but no RE4 or Katamari...
 
My local TRU in FoCo, CO is going out of business :(

At present they have an additional 10% off games and 30% off accessories.

I managed to score a pink 360 controller marked down to $43 (ish) for $30 :)

and FarCry Instincts Predator (Xbox) for $2.70

Otherwise, there wasn't that much left of interest.
 
At the two Toys R Us' I visited in Maryland (Columbia and the one off Route 40), they both had (drum roll please)...

1 Pink Xbox 360 Controller and
1 copy of Zack and Wiki

at each store.

No Geometry Wars, RE4, Katamari... Nothing. LAME!

At the Columbia one, it looked like a stock person was pulling out some more items for the clearance bins. Maybe worth checking out again. I asked the Route 40 guy if he had RE4 and he said, "we don't sell it anymore."

It looks Toys R Us actually uses the clearance bins now. Everything they had were in those.

Nothing for me, thanks.

EDIT: Geometry Wars DS is on the TRU website. $15 after shipping. Not too bad. The pink Xbox 360 controller is also available for $35 before shipping.

im new and want to know how to find out the latest update on the clearence. for example will it be posted on the first page of the thread or posted as a normal thread
 
[quote name='FurryCurry']Hmm. Give me some tips. I really really really really really really want Lost Planet Colonies Edition but not at $30. So what can I do to haggle with them?[/QUOTE]

Its a retail store, not a flea market. Something's marked $29.99, rings up as $29.99, and you're gonna stand there and tell them it should be $8?
 
[quote name='kaiosama12']im new and want to know how to find out the latest update on the clearence. for example will it be posted on the first page of the thread or posted as a normal thread[/quote]

post #2 usually has the latest updates i believe.

well, why not Read the 1st page!

:wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:
 
I'm not surprised Super Monkey Ball was marked up. It seemed very strange that and Fantastic 4 were both in those cardboard displays which was new and then they put those games on clearance. I'm glad I got it when it was $5
 
[quote name='FurryCurry']Hmm. Give me some tips. I really really really really really really want Lost Planet Colonies Edition but not at $30. So what can I do to haggle with them?[/quote]

Offer them $5.00 and a turnip.
 
Zak and Wiki must not have sold well at all. I mena, they're friggin everywhere. And it's a good game!

Anyway, guess what the Wii game will be in this years NFL pool.
 
Grabbed a copy of zack and wiki, really cool game for 7.98 and tax. The TRU in Brockton, MA had 1 or 2 more copies of zack and wiki, thanks op.
 
Unfortunately no copies of RE4, Zack and Wiki, or anything else from the most recent clearance. I did manage to snag Suikoden Tactics (PS2) for $4 and Children of Mana (DS) for $8 so I can't complain.
 
wow going to try to get pinball on the psp for 3 bucks
might have to get disgea 2, oblivion, resident 4, dean d arc, and stuntman.
 
[quote name='confoosious']So I picked up Elite Beat Agents for $8 cause i heard it mentioned here a few times. I just got a DS. Is this game any good before I open it?[/quote]
fuck yeah. have fun with it!
 
picked up Beautiful Katamari, Trauma Center and Zack and Wiki. If anybody can't find a Zack and Wiki I could probably get one, my store had like 12 or so in the bin.
 
[quote name='confoosious']Elite Beat Agents is fantastic.[/quote]
Probably one of the best music action games out there
This is a no brainer for $8
 
First time poster, so I check with post #1 for current games on clearance and the entire list is YMMV or are most of them in the computer?

Thanks!
 
I reread the OP and stuff, but I couldn't find any mention of it... is there a specific day that we should watch for clearance drops at TRU? Or could it happen any day of the week? I'm waiting for the Disgaea 2 copy at my TRU to get to clearance price.
 
[quote name='zaw73']First time poster, so I check with post #1 for current games on clearance and the entire list is YMMV or are most of them in the computer?

They're YMMV, but in the computer. So, the tags will not necessarily tell you what the ringing up price will be if that TRU is bad at keeping the tags up to date. Safe bet is to get price checks (or price check yourself). Whatever the computer says is what that TRU is selling the item for.

For some items, there's a much more widespread acknowledgement of that clearance price. Like, with Fantastic Four, I don't think anyone claimed that their copies were ringing up higher than $5.

Don't hold your breath on the Disgaea 2...I've been waiting for that one to drop for months at my local store, who knows if they'll ever drop it.

Monday is clearance day at TRU. Stuff may be added to or even removed from clearance on Mondays.

:( I've been waiting for only a month or so. I just remember visiting a TRU after reading this thread and seeing a copy. I thought I'd hit the jackpot until it rang up at over $40.


Thanks for the info, sp00ge. So now I know when to hit up TRUs when I can. :)
 
Picked up :360: Beautiful Katamari for $8 last night in MN

There were still 2 or 3 copies left as of 7:30 last night

Also saw a lone copy of :wii: Zak & Wiki, which I left
 
Strange, clearance shopping on my local Toys R Us is quite possibly the easiest ever. They have all their price labels up to date, and all clearance items marked with special big red "clearance" tags.

Unfortunately a bin that was about 4 feet tall and filled with PS2 and old 360 games has dissapeared... hmm

I did pick up yesterday..
John Woo's Stranglehold (360) $5 before 20% off
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double agent (360) $9 before 20% off
