TRU BOGO coming Friday, May 28th *List added - now with prices* + $7.99 games.

CAGiversary!
This one is a bit odd. TRU is trying to clear out its "aged inventory" now. So, for the next month starting Friday, over 800 games are eligible for BOGO. I can't leave work with a list that big without raising some eyebrows. So, give me a bit to somehow get that list if no one else does. I can say with certainty that 99% of the remaining N64, PS1, DC, GBC, NGPC, GG, and even Genesis stock qualifies. Some TRU, somewhere, still has Game Gear and Genesis games, otherwise they wouldn't have been on that list. :)

For PS2, XB, GC, and GBA: They call it "aged inventory," which means it's been discontinued as well. You can actually tell which games have been discontinued by looking at the shelf tags. If there's a lone "X" on the far right of the shelf tag, then TRU will likely not be stocking the item anymore. Every game on the list of 800+ is X-ed out, but I think only older games are on that list. For instance, Prince of Persia for XBox is X-ed out, because TRU doesn't want anymore of them or can't get anymore of them. However, that isn't exactly "aged." Though, I could be wrong and it could be sitting there on that list. I guess I need to just go take a better look at the list. I'm also getting some wires crossed with that big-ass Best Buy blowout from the past couple of days. So, none of that list stuck with me. Whatever. Stay tuned.

Edit by Hoshi: This was just posted today. Also starting on the 28th, all PS1 and PS2 games in the budget program are $7.99. (Those same games that TRU has had BOGO deals for on and off since Christmas.) If your store wasn't cleared out by dealers or some such like mine was, you can still find games like Hitman 2, DMC, VF4 Evo, GT3 A-Spec, Silpheed, Sly Cooper (non-GH), and others I know I'm forgetting. I'm pretty sure they're already picked through by now, after two BOGO deals this year on them. But, I thought some of the newer CAGs would like the heads-up.

My TRU actually has like 15 sealed genesis games still. THis may be a nice time to pick them up

Third sentence in the first post.

My God, first we had $4.99 games at Best Buy, now we get an 800+ game BOGO at TRU this Friday. This might go down as the greatest week in CheapAssGamer history...
 
this is awesome. I can clean up on PS2 and DC games at my local TRU friday morning (typing of the dead and any random PS2 game are mine)
 
Looks like the market's gonna implode just like it did 20 years ago . . .

I can honastly say hell yeah I hope it does. Games will be super cheap and it will eventually rebound.
 
[quote name='O.D.D']Damn this is awsome. Why don't you just bring in a digital camera (or a camera phone if you got one) and take pics of the list.[/quote]

I was just thinking of taking a 1.44" floppy to work and doing an old-fashioned copy-and-paste. But, I could go all spy flick on TRU if need be.

Yeah, I agree. Even if gaming in general does die out, I'm going to still have my own cheapass collection to keep me occupied. :)
 
If you get this list please list them in console divisions...And send them via email to everyone that wants it...I dont want to have to read a 4 page post...

I was thinking the same thing, the first post on this thread could be edited so that the list is included, but I'm not sure if it would fit or not.
 
Thats what im saying...hed have to post ALOT...on multiple dif. posts and cut and paste...just thought it'd be easier if he sent it out to say...the first 25 people to post on here asking for it...(I would love it!) haha! Im first! :p
 
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Might help prevent the deal from being fatwallet'D or something.

Speaking of, I am SHOCKED the Best Buy in store deal didn't get Fatwallet'D. The online did, then a few pages in someone posted "Oh yeah, they have a lot instore". And that was about it. Frickin amazing.

This is some pretty exciting news! Definately try to hook us up with a list, and it will be incredible. Do you know how well informed the employees at TRU will be on this one? I can already see the looks i'm going to get. and don't forget folks, don't ask them to check prices! The sale price won't ring unless they do it as an actual transaction.

Hoshi, do it up with that 1.44!

Either way would be greatly appreciated.
 
small town in mississippi :(

stores that sell video games in my town:
walmart
kmart
block buster
sears
gamestop
FYE

...sad... gamestop just opened too... KBtoys just shutdown.. Kmart never has anything... same with sears..

so basically to get games i have to go to walmart, blockbuster, gamestop, or FYE

It was worse than FatWallet'D; it showed up on Gamespot news. A lot faster than the CC Winter '03 Clearance did, sadly.
 
that's great. if you could post as soon as you get a list, or even if you can officially comfirm friday as the start date, it would rule like none other. reason being that if i can see what's available on, say, thursday morning, i might be able to switch and not have to work friday morning and then, well, you get the idea.
 
[quote name='TheGreatWang']I wonder if Disgaea will count, because my TRU has like 15 copies.[/quote]

No. It wasn't on the list. That much I do remember, because I knew that would be one a lot of people would ask about.

-Hoshi
 
hell yes this site rocks. i couldn't capitalize on the BB $5 shit much, so twin Arc the Lad Collections, hear me, you're mine Friday.
 
hopefully i can score a copy of I-Ninja...assuming that's on the list. OP, do you know if you can mix the games from different systems? maybe i can pick up some dreamcast games too. ...this better not be a waste of gas again for me!
 
God, I just picked up PGR2 and a pre-owned copy of Silent Hill 3, bowing that I would not purchase any games over $9.99 till September 1st so I can save for the E3 games coming, September and November are going to be painful and I am going to sacfrice my money for two nwew $50 games.

Now this? Good lord, this has got to be the best year in sales. Circuit City, KB, Best Buy and now this? I know last year I took advantage of the buy two get one free, but ONE get ONE free? Prince of Persia and many other godly games? *faints* I will be in debt soon.
