For a little preview, the LE's of Final Fantasy XIII, Dead Rising 2, Mario Galaxy 2, and Medal Of Honor are on the list.
I'll post it once things slow down here.

I take it you haven't tried Googling the SKU # and using the SKU swap trick from the OP to make yourself a stock locator link?
I meant the CE, which I couldn't find. But Ultragamer provided a list, but the Store Locator confirms that I'm out of luck.

That's what version I meant as well. But sometimes if it shows out of stock it may just be that they only have 1-3 copies of it, since it's been said before that BB's stock locator doesn't show something in stock unless it's 3 or over I think.I meant the CE, which I couldn't find.

eh, I hid one copy each of the LE's mentioned except FF13 which they didn't have any of. There were plenty of the others though so i don't 'feel' bad about it. Plus, I'll likely be going on a 4 store run - god and wife - willing..so I might not even need to get into that stash.

Hello fellow CAGers, long time thread follower, first time attempter has 2 questions. You can PM me the answer if its not known to be made public:
1) These BBY drops are they to .01?
2) Do you guys do just straight checkout with nothing else at the price or add something else to not arise suspicion?
3)Any way to check price before attempting to checkout?

Ooh token, just to let you know, I'll be at the Gulfgate location at opening time
Then I'll make my way to 3 other stores 
I hope they don't pull them afterwards.

In the OP, there is a FAQ section behind a spoiler. I think IATCG put some information and ideas of some successful methods of successful Penny buying.Hello fellow CAGers, long time thread follower, first time attempter has 2 questions. You can PM me the answer if its not known to be made public:
2) Do you guys do just straight checkout with nothing else at the price or add something else to not arise suspicion?
I often will grab a diet coke from the fridge. But I almost always ask the clerk to check the prices on the guides because "I saw these were clearanced online." Which technically isn't an untruth. I did see that they were marked down online, I just didn't see that information at THEIR site. I saw that information HERE.
Depending on the personality and experience of the clerk, the reaction can be anything from "oh yeah, there was a whole cart full of these earlier" to "Whoa, one cent?!?!? Let me just call my manager." Getting a manager is almost always death to the deal.
But no matter what, I always smile and let them do as they need to. I don't ever want a clerk to get fired on my behalf. So if they don't let me buy the guides, I thank them anyway, buy my drink and sulk in my car.
