CAGiversary!
Hey just wanted to see what other CAG's were from STL.

Um.. I guess on place i have found a lot of cheap games has been Software Plus on Olive rd. 5 miles west of 270


I picked up Halo 2 for 12.99 there and Midnight Club Dub Edition for 19.99 as well.

Both where new by the way

Anyone know where I can get a Tournament Edition of the Madcatz sticks in the St. Louis area? I'm looking for one for the PS3. Every place I have seen them at have one for the 360 only.
 
Sendme,
I have the original PS3 TE stick unmodded and lightly used. I'd be up for selling it.

Other than that I don't think anybody is going to have them in stock. Most of the Gamestop's only stocked them briefly for the launch of SF IV. You might call around and see if one of them still has the MvC 2 stick in stock. Or you might try to call Microcenter as I've seen them there before.
 
[quote name='Kezmer']target in the valley has some 9.98 PSP games, i saw need for speed shift and Jax, also grand turismo for 13.98. ii dont know anything about the game truth or lies for xbox but they have tons of them for 9.98[/QUOTE]

$10 for Jak and Daxter is a good price, I bought one of the last two in Fenton. GT on PSP is now $20 MSRP so $14 is not that great of a deal. Truth or Lies is EXTREMELY crappy and not worth $10.
 
Thanks but I would rather get new. I have seen the MvsC 2 stick at just about every GameStop I have went to but it has always been for the 360. Might check out Game Busters here in Granite over the weekend to see if they have one.

I figured it had to be shit but thought I would ask. I will stick to you don't know jack when the wife actually wants to play games
 
Fenton Gamestop still has like 7 DA 2 Signature Editions on 360, 1-3 on PS3, and the PC version is on the sales floor gutted. Other than the PC one you would have to specifically ask for them as they're in the drawers.
 
I guess I should look at the guide rack there more often, I walk by it all the time and forget they sell penny guides sometimes
 
If anyone is interested I went by Best Buy over on Manchester at the Highlands I saw Nier for $13.99, and after I got mine there was still 4 left on those. They also had 3DS's in stock (at least 2 from what I saw) if someone needed one still.
 
Edit on 4-17: Fenton Gamestop still has about 15 3DS's in stock, about 7 of each color. Lemay Ferry KMart has like 30 of them still in stock, even by color.

Lemay Ferry KMart put out SOCOM 4 early. 6 copies in the case. I posted in the KMart thread so if you want it you might want to try tonight.
 
I was over at the Best Buy in the Chesterfield Commons and they had Nier marked down to $11.99 now if anyone is still interested in picking it up.

Also, not sure if I just have bad luck but I can hardly ever find anything good at any Target stores in our area... has anyone else had any luck with them?
 
If any one is looking for some cheap PC games the Kirkwood Walmart has some. Left 4 dead 2 for $5, Mass Effect 2 for $4 Diablo II Chest pack for $19.96 and a whole bunch of games for $4 and $5 dollars.
 
Just picked up :360: Mortal Kombat w/ Kitana DLC at the Sunset Hills Toys 'R' Us for $40. The Michael Jackson Gamer Guide was next to the register and I had no problem using the coupon. I saw at least 5 more copies for 360, not sure what they still had for PS3.
 
The bonus cases for LA Noire from Walmart and Gamestop will be paper redemption codes included inside the game. Most stores will be doing a midnight release for LA Noire but that's the only game for the month. Next most likely midnight release will be for Duke Nukem in June.

The management at my store (Fenton) says nobody will reserve hardly anything except Gears 3 and Skyrim. They have 250 preorders for Gears 3 and 50 for Skyrim, then about 30-40 for LA Noire and Duke Nukem, then nothing else has more than 20 (led by Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, and Batman: Arkham City.)

OK Velo or anyone else that has traded at Best Buy,

I want to get Infamous 2 and to do that I'm going to have to trade NFS: HP and NHL 11 on 360 at Best Buy. Out of these 3 BB's (South County Mall, Fenton, Manchester @ 141,) which ones are the easiest to do it at or am I even allowed to trade them at? NHL 11 was a Goozex pickup so I don't have a BB receipt for it (do have it for NFS if I can find it.)
 
Also found out in the BB thread if you go to the only STL midnight launch at South County, the first 16 360 and PS3 customers in line get the first DLC case for free. From the description, I assume it's a post-release pay one for everyone else.

Not all Gamestops will be doing a midnight, but most of the busy ones will. Post if you're going to Fenton, I'll see you there. :)
 
I pre-ordered my copy from Best Buy in Bridgeton, (only 5 minute drive) got the 500 rewards zone points for pre order and a free 15 dollar gift card. I noticed on the BB facebook rewards zone gamers page it says you get a 10 dollar GC when you pick it up also?

I won't be there at midnight due to working Tuesday but i wonder when I do go to get mine tuesday after work if they will give me another giftcard if I show them the facebook post?
 
MSU Hitman, i always just go to crestwood BestBuy cuz it's right next to my work. I miss the crestwood gamestop(lol, ghostmall) but sunset hills gamestop is just a minute further away. Crestwood bestbuy has their trade in down cuz i go in every few days it seems. just go to customer service, then they will make you go to a geeksquad computer and takes bout 10 minutes for my 5 games. then just go to kindle section and grab some amazon cards, lol.
peace bud

I was looking at the South County Best Buy for the midnight release, but I will just stick with the Manchester one at 141 since it is right down the street. Considering the DLC will be on sale shortly after, and don't even know how many people are going to try to show up at that one. Not worth the price of gas to worry about it, it will be cheaper online.

The Fallout DLC for Brink went for 25-30 on ebay, and that was DLC that you could probably still get if you're lucky to purchase one of the initial prints. On the other hand, this DLC appears to be much more limited (there's less than 50 in our state, for example). Manchester doesn't match GC and are just all around dbags so I have no problem driving a bit farther for better service.
 
I got a feeling with 3 disks of content I will be just fine in the game without DLC for a while lol, but if you can make it and get it for free go for it. I wish I could but got to go to work Tuesday early
 
no idea about that, I have the android one and it showed 59.99, I did get lucky in that 2 hour span and cancelled my first order and re-ordered it at 48.99 Sunday
 
not sure if anyone else still plays with plastic guitars but Rock Road Best Buy had Green Day Rock Band on clearance for 11.99, I grabbed one and there was still a few left. Not sure if other Best Buys are at the same price, it was 19.99 before
 
I checked Brentwood Microcenter for the 109 dollar refurbished PS3 today and they were out of stock. Lady said as of right now so I don't know if that means more might come in before the mis-print ad expires on June 5th.

I kind of want a PS3 just didn't feel like the 299 price tag. hoping for a 100 dollar Price drop after E3 and I might bite.
 
Couple of random items:

1) The Borders at South County Mall had a number of TV season sets and BluRay movies marked with a piece of red tape on them. The TV season sets were in a dump bin by the front registers and the BluRays were in the BluRay section by the magazines. Any of the items with this red tape were 40% off scanned price, and Borders Rewards + members take the obvious 10% off additional on the purchase. I only had a chance for a quick look, though these red-taped BluRays took up most of the BluRay section.
2) Ronnie's 20 on South Lindbergh is going to be running anime in the theater in the fall. Supposedly joining their Facebook page will show the schedule.
 
I saw the Ronnie's Anime club ad when I went to Attack the Block this week. I'm kind of interested but I don't really know the crowd that will show up. I'm probably a bit older than the average Anime fan so we'll see how it goes. It'll depend a lot on what the end up playing, I suppose.

The Target on Chippewa and Hampton had 2 copies of MvC3 Special Edition on clearance for $ 34.99 for the Xbox360 when I went tonight. It has a Steel case, some the DLC characters and some comic thing included. I didn't pick one up but could be a good deal for those that are interested in collector's editions.
 
Not a VG deal but if you are looking for a bargain laptop Best Buy has this one and it isn't listed in the 2 day memorial sale and also wasn't on display at the Rock Rd store when I went in and they had a bunch of them. I bought one for my wife since hers was a couple years old and I am selling hers to a friend.

$349 laptop compares to most anything you will find on Black Friday with a dual core processor and a 320GB HD. screen is 14' and I thought that might be a deal breaker but actually we both seem to like the lighter weight and smaller screen.

Hope one of you CAG's are looking for a decent laptop.

For the Ronnie's anime thing, not sure what they'll have and I have no idea what the crowd would be like. The Tivoli used to run anime at random times back in the day, and it's nice to see some other theater try and do it. I also think they may be running Rocky Horror sometime in August, as there's some note they have in the theater about the time warp coming in August.

Kezmer, that seems like a reasonable enough laptop for anyone that wants something portable and decent enough to do things other than gaming. Radeon 4250 will take care of older games and lighter-weight graphical games with the detail turned down. The link you put up there errored out for me, though if you search for SKU 2592114 on the BB.com website, you'll find it.
 
hrm sorry about that, maybe It was because I was logged into my BB account at the time. the model number is g4-1016dx

I wouldnt try much gaming on it but my wife just likes a laptop for e-mail internet facebook typing papers (has office 2010 starter) I know a lot of CAG's are younger than me and in school still and on a budget its a nice laptop. I doubt i would try much gaming on it though like you said.

(edit) error for me also so they must have changed the URL to keep the slick dealers on their toes. new link is

I went today, and they had 3 in stock. The guy had to go in the back and grab one for me. This was around 1 PM, but if you're lucky they may still have one.

Good Luck!
 
The O'Fallon, IL and Fairview Heights Targets didn't have any Infamous 2. I haven't read through the entire Infamous thread. Has anyone in the St. Louis area actually found a copy?

Damn i didnt call today, I called Sunday and figured I would wait. I am sure they are long gone by now though, thanks for the update.
 
Did not know that. The signs they had up said this store only. I wondered how long it would be till they closed.

The Fenton one had the same sign saying this store only a couple of weekends ago (whatever weekend XMen First Class came out.)

I'm still happy I got RE: Darkside Chronicles for Wii for $30 the week after it launched, only purchase I made there. Microcenter is still doing good, right?

Anyone go in search for Zelda today? Fenton BB actively turned people away saying they wouldn't sell it until Tuesday. Fenton Target is out, and Fenton Gamestop is down to about 6-8 non pre-order copies.

I saw a couple in a stand up cardboard kiosk at the rock rd best buy, but there was maybe 3 left so probably gone now. Wish i could just buy it and play it in my DS since I cannot see 3D
 
When I went to the Best Buy in Chesterfield this morning they only had two left after I walked out. If you are wanting that OST offer pick one up tonight. If you search Best Buy though in our area all stores still show in stock but the Fenton one. Target was pretty much the same so should be more then enough copies around still.
 
Just to let you guys know I took the TRU 2 for $50 ad to the Brentwood Best Buy and got F3AR and Portal 2 pricematched. All they did was call the closed TRU to see if they had F3AR in stock. The guy helping me asked to keep the ad so he could use it when his shift was over. Nice experience and no problems at all.
 
For those who like NASCAR, Joey Lagano will be at the Manchester Gamestop on Friday from 12-6 to sign autographs and take pictures with his car. There will also be a bunch of hit and upcoming games to play setup with his trailer.
