As posted by PleasantOne in the Target clearance thread:

Just a heads up.... While I was in Target today, I saw a shelf tag for Pinball Hall of Fame for Wii for *$13.99* Unfotunately the shelf was empty, so I can't say if this is correct, a mismark, a pricing mistake at a higher level, etc. I know this isn't clearance, but I hesitate to make a new thread since i can't really confirm this. I figured some of you might want to keep an eye out, though.

Confirmed this morning at my local Target (East Madison, WI). I started a new thread since this isn't a clearance deal, but rather a price mistake on some level. The shelf tag is marked $13.98, but the game rings up for $19.99. I asked the employee in electronics if I could get the price as marked on the shelf tag, and he did it without question. So YMMV on if it is mispriced on all shelf tags, only some, if people will override it for you, etc.

For anyone local to me, they had three more copies left. They were located in the aisle with the cheaper games, not in the glass cases.

Went to 3 Targets, struck out. One location had copies w/ a $19.99 shelf tag, another had copies with no shelf tag, the third didn't have any copies or a shelf tag. If anyone wants to take their extra copies to the Target Trade Thread, I'd appreciate it.
 
It was marked as $13.98 at the Phillipsburg, NJ Target when I went this afternoon. I grabbed 1 for myself. It rang up $19.99, but the guy was nice and said he'd honor it. He grabbed the rest off the shelf though...I guess it's a price mistake?

Thanks OP. Sorry to anyone else who was hoping to score one at that location.
 
Target in Carson, CA finally got this game in. The game rang up at $19.99 but I told the cashier that the price on the shelf said $13.98. She called the manager and he ok'd the price adjustment. They removed the tag and all the remaining copies from the shelf. So I guess only the first person at each Target will be able to get this price unless you have lazy cashiers.
 
I am looking for a copy of this game in Michigan. I will be checking the Commerce and Southfield stores today. If I find some, I will post.
 
Anyone have any luck in CT finding this title?

So far, no go in North Haven and in the Milford Post Mall.

My Target in western WA got a ton of copies in yesterday, but stickered and ringing up at $19.99. I'm having a hard time not getting it. Even if I don't like it, I can sell it on half.com for enough to cover my costs including tax.
 
Picked up a copy at Target in Loveland CO on highway 34 near the outlet mall.
It was $19.99 (tagged at that too, no $13.98 tag anywhere) but I was just glad to find one.

They had one copy left after I bought mine last night. It is on the front end cap of the games aisle.
 
Would anyone happen to know how many copies of the Wii version were printed? It popped back up at the Prattville Target at $19.99 earlier this week, and I bit on it. I haven't seen this game ANYWHERE else B&M.

The physics are freaking spot on. I used to play the hell out of Space Shuttle, Fun House, Wizard, and Whirlwind. This thing is leaps and bounds ahead of the Gottlieb Collection. Whirlwind always was a bitch.. the low clearance above the left flipper that makes it easy for the ball to fall into the gutter ramp was always a pain in the ass to me. Getting the fan to blow on the scoreboard whenever you did something was always beneficial in an arcade without air conditioning though.

Too bad they couldn't include The Getaway and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure in the collection. Indiana Jones fucking ruled, right down to the pistol grip launcher. I'd say if you see it at $19 instead of $13, pick it up. It's worth the dough, and I have a feeling that this thing is going to be a pain in the ass to find.
 
There were a couple copies in Menomonee Falls, WI Target, listed at 19.99 in case any Wisconsinites are looking for it :)
 
Got it for $13.98. Not sure if they fixed it after that. The cashier made the change without confirming the tag (while i was there, anyways)
 
I was just at Microcenter and they do carry this game (for $29.99). You could try having them price-match Target at $19.99 and then using the $10 off coupon for $9.99+tax out the door. It might be worth a shot. I didn't feel like the extra driving or I would've tried this.
 
I've seen this at another Target that didn't have it last week so it seems like they're starting to distribute it a bit more. Might be worth keeping an eye out at any Targets you come across.

Unfortunately it was still stickered at $19.99...

Same. My local Target now has it, but it's stickered at $19.99 as well.
 
Picked up two of the last 3 at the Target in Inglewood. I 'm also looking for the psp version but it's nowhere to be found (B&M).

Use the $5 coupon and make it $15, and you're only $1 more than the mis-price. And I have to say, I always thought I hated pinball, but what I hated was being terrible at it and having to shovel quarters into the machines. This game is fantastic!
 
Target in Northway Mall (Albany, NY) had a few copies, but they were all marked at $19.99. Might go back with the $5 off coupon and grab one for $15.

Check MicroCenter if you have one. Got the PSP one there.
 
Found one at the Kalamazoo, MI loc for $19.99. Struck out at the Grand Rapids and Lansing locations and my wife really wanted it so $20 was great.

The $5 coupon is for games $25 and up, unfortunately.

Just buy toilet paper or soda to make it $25 and it will take $5 off the game. ;)

Or buy anything! The coupon has no actual restrictions when it is scanned. Just make sure to go to the front lane cashiers who don't give a crap.
 
Didn't see it at either of the Targets I went to this week in the Memphis area. I had already picked the Wii version up from FYE, though. Like someone else said, I'm still trying to find the PSP version at a B&M store-- no luck on that just yet.

If you even think you might enjoy pinball this game is worth every penny. It's my most played game right now.
 
This is a great game, finally got to play last night. I sucked on some of the certain pinball setups for some reason though. But yeah the ball physics are realistic.

fixed. Finally got it. well worth the $20.
 
I have to say that the menu system is very annoying. I would rather just pick what I want to play from a list rather than move through a "virtual arcade" and go upstairs and downstairs and whatever else.

Very annoying menu design. Just give me a list and put me in the game.
 
Just came back from getting one, thanks op.

Marked $13.98 but it rang up $19.99...simple price adjustment was all that took place

Oh and if you don't end up finding it, I suggest looking at their Giftcards...some neat designs for video game stuff (not much of a recompensation though)
 
This fianlly showed up at my target. I've only played 2 tables, but i love it. I beat all the challenges on my second tables. FUn.
 
I felt really good when I beat all the basic challenges on the Taxi table, only to be presented a new set of challenges that'll really take some work. I didn't know that there were more challenges after the initial set. Is that true of the other Pinball Hall of Fame game too?

A quality budget title that deserves all the love its getting.
