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

I can wait on SR and Halo. But will most definitely be getting both AC and UMvC3 that day. Just not sure if I will get both at GameStop.

What will hurt most is my free time! That will be squeezed right out of existence. :(

FYI KMart is not stocking UMvC 3 and I'm not sure about BB, WM, and Target, although I suspect they will. Also Gamestop has the best preorder bonuses on both of those games. Gamestop gets more outfits for the female fighters in UMvC 3 and they are the only ones getting the special edition of AC: Revelations in the US, basically a bunch of extra digital content (soundtrack, characters, missions, etc.)

Yeah I was thinking about hitting Gamestop at least for AC: R but I was leaning towards Amazon for UMvC3 for the New Age of Heroes Costume pack.

Never really go to Gamestop so I was a little hesitant, but there's one real close to home (the Gamestop off of Zumbehl)
 
Sorry I just figured most would be like me and want the costumes for the female characters for free vs. the male ones. But I'm a bit crazy/lonely/sad in that fashion. :)

You should definately get it from wherever gives you the best deal, although with KMart out of the running, not sure if anyone else is going to do credit w/purchase on UMvC 3.

I'm boycotting all disc-based Capcom games now so I'll get UMvC 3 and SF x T sometime next year when Gamefly sells them both for under $20 each.
 
amen, I am sick of Capcom and their dirty tricks selling games. My slate is clean for Skyrim, not much else I can say I am looking forward too although I feel like I want to play Dark Souls just to say I did if it goes on sale for a good price
 
I still havent found any decent deals on Dark Souls or Forza 4 out there, hopefully next week I have a 10 dollar reward zone coupon expiring next week
 
Actually did my first in store preorder at Gamestop last night. So it looks like I will be at the St. Charles store off of Zumbehl for the Nov. 14th midnight release of AC: R. :)
 
[quote name='MSUHitman']If anyone is still looking for a Gears 3 console, KMart in South County has one.[/QUOTE]I've also seen them at the South County Costco, the Sam's Club on Manchester, the Sam's Club in South County on Lemay Ferry as well as the Sam's Club off of Big Bend & 44.
 
has anyone traded stuff in at one of those BAM! stores? I have a ton of old action figures and records and dvds and crap I want to get rid of, and if their trade values are decent ,it would be a hell of a lot easier to just take it all up there rather than try and sell it all on ebay.

cool store, just went in the chesterfield location last night for the first time. I got a ton of nostalgia from the 80's and 90's action figures.
 
I am looking for a list of Best BUy stores doing a midnight Launch for Skyrim, I pre-ordered it at Bridgeton BB but can't seem to find out if they are doing a midnight launch
 
[quote name='Kezmer']I still havent found any decent deals on Dark Souls or Forza 4 out there, hopefully next week I have a 10 dollar reward zone coupon expiring next week[/QUOTE]

If you're still looking for Dark Souls, KMart has it on sale this week for $40.
 
My boss went to the one on Manchester (the one between Hampton and McCausland, not the one out in Ballwin) and the clerk had the box of games out and was preparing to stock them on the shelves, when a manager came out and stopped him at the last minute. :(
 
I am heading to the one in Bridgeton tomorrow hopefully the 360 Dark Souls is 39.99 since it wont show up on the website. I doubt any MW3 will be out. That isn't a type of game I ever play anyway but it would be funny to see it out early
 
looked at all 3 K-marts in north county and there weren't any out although I heard people asking the clerk for it, I skipped Demon Souls for now only because I know Skyrim is going to be all I play starting next week for a long time
 
[quote name='MSUHitman']OK whose Gamestop has more preorders for MW3? My store (Fenton) has just under 800.[/QUOTE]
Holy cow, a single store?
 
Wow, that just seems like a ton for a single location (especially in 2011-- who goes to the store anymore? :lol:). I guess this series really is big business. :)
 
Fenton gets a lot of people who don't shop around online (or even have internet access) and its programmed into their brain, game = Gamestop. Also the clerks there have to ask if they have their console connected to the internet kinda to warn them about online passes and the like, but mainly because you wouldn't recommend the same games to people who don't have interent vs. ones that do.

Fenton is the 2nd highest volume GS on the MO side of the St. Louis area, about $2 M in volume. Highest is one of the stores in Florissant. There's a store on the IL side (not Scott Air Force Base but the next closest) that does double that but 60% of their business is handhelds, with the vast majority being in PSP.

And those MW3 numbers were told to me by the new manager. Every store manager in the company with over 700 preorders had to take part in a special conference call last week.

The last pre-orders I had in-store at a GS were God of War 3 (only did to get one of the pre-order character skins, and never picked up said pre-order) and Mass Effect 2 (to get a second CE as well as the GS exclusive pre-order items).

Everything else I've preordered has been on Amazon, save the rare exception of some GS exclusive worth getting (Assassin's Creed Revelations Signature Edition) or one I couldn't find anywhere else (Forza 4 CE, as I missed pre-ordering in on Amazon) and that's been on GS.com.

Plus, since it's in Fenton, it gets traffic from Arnold, Imperial, South County (Mehlville/Oakville) plus some other places. The GS stores in the SoCo mall are too many for the area, as there's three in the mall or right outside the mall (former EB, original GS in the mall and the former Funco -> EB -> GS outside the mall) and I bet they all scavenge each others' sales.

I'd have to guess at that IL store in question to be either O'Fallon IL or Fairview Heights IL that does that volume of business.

Florissant, there's not much out that way since the BB out that way disappeared, save maybe a Target or a Walmart.
 
Yeah I work right down the street from the Cross Keys Gamestop in Florissant. it is always slammed like crazy, I just go to the one at the Mills and their is no one there usually if I have to go to Gamestop.

There is a Target and the Wal-Mart is in Furgeson, although Wal-Mart wants to build one right across from Cross Keys, they want tax deferred money to build it and the City council refuses to give a tax deferment to the richest people in the world. They may still build it on their own.

There has been talk of a Best Buy across from the post office where I am at but one of the other stores going in bailed out and they are waiting for another anchor store to step in so It may never happen.

Jamestown Mall is a ghost town, but they have a lot of days with free popcorn at the movies!!!

That Gamestop isn't #1 because of popularity, it is #1 because thats all there is

I think it would be better to build best buy and Walmart more south where the old Ford plant was In hazelwood. Would be so awesome
 
that would be nice but it won't happen, Wal-Mart wants to be as close to K-Mart as possible so they can put them under at least in North County, that one on the Rock Road is right Next Door and the one proposed in Florissant coming up on the council meeting this Monday is Directly behind Lowes within a block of the K-Mart, I haven't seen the actual P & Z yet, (but I will after the meeting is aired) but I think it will knock down some or all of Cross Keys Apartments.

I read in my Hazelwood Newsletter that old Ford plant is going to be some sort of office building. I am not sure if anything happened with it but if you drive through that Industrial Park they built there is nothing there yet and its been a few years since they built it.
 
Shrike the IL store I mentioned is on an army base but it's not Scott. It's the next closest base. The Florissant store is the No. 1 in volume in St. Louis, with Fenton second. Fenton is losing ground though to the new stores built in Washington, Arnold, and especially Eureka. To give a scope of the madness, here's the video from the midnight MW3 launch at Fenton (500-800 people there) shot by the former store manager (some NSFW language during the wrestling promo contest) :

I have been told they have MW3 Hardened Editions for 360 and MW 3 360 consoles available for free sell today from preorders not picked up.
 
Does anyone in the area want to go in on the B1G1 50% off deal on Amazon? I'm on the Illinois side, so it would make more sense if you were over this way as well. Send me a pm if you're interested.
 
Pretty much any Gamestop should have them, all of the copies sent to them were SE.

FYI those wanting KMart's B1G1 1/2 off should beware Lemay Ferry KMart is out of Skyrim on 360 and AC: R on PS3. Everything else is there though.
 
That's good to know. I looked on the site and only saw the PC version and at the time what I thought was the Signature Edition bumped to 99.99 to stop people from ordering. I will have to stop buy Saturday afternoon and see if they have them left. Now only question is do I get it on the 360 or PS3. I have the rest on the 360 but don't you get a copy of the first game for the PS3 if you get it on the PS3?
 
Yes you get AC 1 on the disk (then have to install a 7 GB file to your PS3) on the PS3 version. You might want to stop by the AC thread on 360 to make sure, but I think I got a few extra MP avatars, emblems, etc. for having played Brotherhood as it gave me a welcome back message. That was the only thing you MIGHT miss if you switch consoles.
 
I was at the SoCo Target last night and they had a bunch of stuff on clearance. I picked up a 360 Bioshock 2 for $4.48 but there was another one left. They had a ton of 360 RDR for $19.98 and a couple 360 DJ Hero sets for $24.98. There were several 360 copies of Dragon Age II for $14.98. I can't remember now what else there was--quite a few assorted PS3 titles (including one R&C: Crack in Time for I think around $8), some DS and even some 3DS games. For anyone familiar with the store, they moved the clearance section--it's still on a back endcap, just a few aisles over.
 
I bought a new PS3 for 199 today on Best Buy, I have a launch unit, I really just upgraded for the bigger hard drive and a slimmer model. Anyway I have my Launch Unit if any of you St. Louis CAGs are wanting a cheap PS3, I'll take 100 for it, only issues I know of is the fan makes a louder noise when it's spinning a disk. not sure if it can be replaced but the system works fine. The top part will slide off since I opened it to spray compressed air through it to clean it out.

Anyway I have a launch controller that goes with it and the PSU, I really only used it for a Blu-Ray player since it plays any ripped blu-ray dvd.

I does play PS1 and PS2 games with no problem last time I tried. I just thought before I sell it at work maybe a CAG would want a cheap PS3 PM me if you are interested I can take some pics and send them np

I might go in on that.....
 
I don't know why the fan gets loud when it spins a disk? This could be it

http://ps3fannoise.blogspot.com/

I just want to give full disclosure what it does, my wife is annoyed at the noise when we are watching a movie. I rarely game on the PS3 but I like to have one just in case and It is the best blu-ray player I have found.

anyway let me know if you are interested, thanks.
 
[quote name='jrberger']There is a BAM! store also opening in South County Mall next Month.[/QUOTE]

I forgot all about this until I was driving past it the other day to go to that soco kmart. Have any of you checked out this place yet? I might swing by and take a look around.
 
BB on the Rock Road had a Black Friday PS3 Bundle sitting on the shelf, I asked if it was still 199 and he scanned it and it came up $249. still not a terrible price considering you get 2 games and 30 days of PS+. I bought 2 of the 199 and in the Christmas spirit instead of keeping one for me I kept my old launch PS3 and sold them for cost to parents who really wanted them. I almost just grabbed this one but I held off.

If you missed the BF deal and dont mind the 249 price tag, might hit a BB, guy said they "found some" (ie we didnt sell these for 199 so we could make 50 extra bucks on them later)
 
[quote name='Kezmer']here a Hot Deal, the Cardinals saved $200 million dollars today ![/QUOTE]

I know!!! Who would have thought the Cardinals front office had a little CAG in them. Rather it be spent on multiple players to build a team then for one person who will absorb it all. GO CARDS!!
 
Just found out that Pujols shirts and maybe even other merchandise was being given away for free at Pro Images Sports stores. I just found out so I don't know how much is left. I have read that it was going fast but I have also heard that it is just sitting there.
 
I am already sick of the Pujols talk after 1 day.... let the man go, if he wants the money so be it. I can't blame the guy one bit for taking the best contract he could get, plus in the piece of fucking shit AL he can limp out to home plate and DH for years and years like Big Papi... We already saw his best 11 years he will ever have and were lucky to witness that on a daily basis.

I can still remember standing in a bar watching him hit a ball to Waco Texas in game 6 of the NLCS and going crazy. mostly he was a play-off bust, had a unreal game in the World Series this year but stunk the other games. Lance Berkman made him look like a bum with how he played at 37 years old... wait maybe Berkman is actually younger than Pujols???
 
Nope. No deals on it and if you want ANYTHING digital about it (even just buying digital time card codes as a last minute gift on Christmas Day) then you HAVE to do it through the Origin store. Physical copies of the game are in-stock everywhere minus the Origin store.

Edit: I take that back. Amazon as of this post has 15 copies left from a seller called moviesmusicgames for $52 shipped.

FYI Fenton Gamestop is FINALLY doing the 50% extra trade-in on all games. I know it will probably be at least today and probably tomorrow also, not sure about after that.
 
I was there after work a couple weeks ago. I'ts always a zoo. So many people in line waiting. Way bigger than the Mills location by my house but I don't know if it's worth the pain of standing in line for an hour
