On my way to pick up a copy of Disney DDR that's on hold for me... complete and mint

[Bezerker]

EZ Pawn on the corner of Hillsborough & Nebraska had Xbox's for $89.99 i believe. All their stuff is tested, and i believe has a warranty.

They had Gamecubes for $49.99 or one "as is" for $20. "as is" 64 for $5. No rare games at either EZ Pawn or Cash America on Nebraska.

[Roufuss]

Not a bad haul for today...

Nintendogs: Best Friends Edition - $22.50
Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix complete / mint - $44.99
NON GH Castlevania: Symphony of the Night complete / mint - $22.50

The Sam Goody in International Plaza is down to its last 3 days and is at 90% off right now. No games and only a handful of DVDs are left. However, I did pick up 35 different Anime CD soundtracks for $1.49 each!!! I got one of everything they had left, and even then I only took the last copy of 3 or 4 titles. They still had tons left, probably about 30 different titles! I guess nobody there buys Anime soundtracks even when they are that dirt cheap.

Not even sure of everything I got, but once I have a chance to sort through it, I might sell or trade some of the ones I bought on impulse. If anybody was eyeballing any Anime CDs there, let me know.

If you're looking for some Anime CDs, I'd head down there today as I doubt it will drop any lower than 90% unless they plan to do 99% the last day.

I also got the WWE "Jake the Snake: Pick Your Poison" DVD for $3.49 and they had 4 left.

I got the last D.E.B.S. soundtrack and Fozzy CD, so sorry all your Jerichoholics. He is a HUGE rock star!

[Bezerker]

Jericho is the ayatola of rock-and-rolla. Not to mention a Tampa boy, woot!

I've been meaning to check out the International Plaza location. I'm guessing that means Sunday'll be the last day. I hate having to go that far down Dale Mabry (let alone the mall) on a weekend... I guess if i leave around 9-9:30 i could make decent time.

[GunstarRed]

^^^Not sure what will be left by Sat. or Sun. at International Plaza. Actually, the Anime CDs and a lot of rap CDs are about all they had of anything. (Some of the rap CDs were even pretty recent. Guess the rap music and Anime fan crowd doesn't shop at that mall.) Only the very front of the store is even left open. I hope they still have some left by the time you get there. I have noticed that whenever I post any local Tampa deals, somebody grabs it by the next day. I think Sunday is the last day for the Gulfview Square Sam Goody as well.

I got two doubles in my haste to grab one of each Anime CD, but still getting 35 CDs for about $55 total is a steal!

I actually saw Chris Jericho shopping at Westfield Shoppingtown Citrus Park a couple of years ago around Christmas. Needless to say, I will never......e-e-e-e-e-e-ver be the same AGAIN.

Its amazing how many wrestlers you can run into in Tampa. Ive met Mike Awesome at Q-zar, Eddie Guerrero(RIP) at Kmart, Dean Malenko at Alphonso's (Pizza place) Jericho at Adventure Island, Bryan Adams at Smoothie King, Big Show at Publix, and Edge at Circuit City (long before he was a usurpurous asshole, Mattitude for life!).

*EDIT*

Just got back from Sam Goody, not much left there, just CD's, couple of crappy DVDs and some torn up Video Game guides. Grabbed a Tehxnolyze OST (as its the only OST they had that ive watched the show its a soundtrack for) ended up being $1.8X after tax, not bad at all. I was kinda hoping for some UMD's, cuz they'd definately be worth it at 90% off, but no luck. That location always had great deals (last time i was there i picked up a Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun shirt for $6 each), shame to see em go.

Hey guys. I scored a Logitech Wireless Headset for XBOX ($49.99 retail) for $12.48 at the Target at 9th Street near Gandy. It was the only one there, but you may have luck at other Targets. Good luck!

[Bezerker]

Got a job interview tomorrow morning at a place by the Waters Ave Target, ill post deals if i find any.

They had a pile of them at that location a few days ago...I went tonight (Tuesday) to see if the price had dropped, and they were all gone. Bah!

Oh, well, I'll check around tomorrow. Thanks for the price update.

I think I single handedly destroyed the used PC games stock of every EB in a 50 mile radius

You didn't happen to see and leave behind any copies of C&C Generals or Age of Mythology/AOM Titans, did you?

Also, did you hammer the East Tampa/Brandon locations? I'm going to be heading out that way tomorrow, and I want to know if I should skip them.

Everything I pulled in today's post in that EB PC games clearance thread came from all three of the Brandon locations. I don't have the link but its on the front page.

I do know they had an Age of Mythology there, somewhere... I want to say its either at the SR 60 location aways from Brandon, or its in one of the two EB's at the Brandon Towncenter. That whole thread is basacially everything I've found around town.

I kind of picked the stores pretty clean though, so it might be a bit of a drive if you want just Age of Mythology. They had some other stuff, but I grabbed everything of interest for the most part. They did have a C&C Generals Deluxe Edition, was marked at $2.99, but a friend grabbed it. Also got a mismarked LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth for $2.99.

I didn't really hit East Tampa / Citrus at all, or any of the stores here in Saint Petersburg, but I was told their selection (St Pete) was shitty. I can tell you right now that the For Eyes Plaza EB has a shitty selection, and Countryside EB dosen't carry PC games at all.

But none of the stores in Tampa I hit, and none of the ones in Citrus / Bradenton... I'm pretty much sastisfied with what I got, I burned enough gas today.

If you find C&C Red Alert 2: Yuris Revenge, let me know though, or pick it up for me if you don't want it and I'll pay you back... any other adventure games would be a plus too

I'm going to be in the USF area tomorrow, so Brandon is just a quick shot down 75. If I manage to hit any other Tampa EBs I'll keep an eye out for RA2. Thanks for the update!

[Bezerker]

Good luck on your interview!

Thanks, it went pretty well, unfortunately the person for the 3rd interview was in meetings all day so she'll have to call me back to reschedule.

No decent deals at the Waters Ave Target.


However i went to the Big Lots on Gunn Hwy and they had quite a few anime titles for $3.99. I remember seeing a couple volumes of Banner of the stars 2, one volume of Big 0, a couple Gundam SD's, Vampire Princess, and one other that slips my mind (it wasnt a big, or good, series i believe)

[elmyra]

I didn't make it to Tampa today like I thought I would, but I may get out there tomorrow. I did see something weird at the 9th Street Target, though.

Last night when I was there, they had a couple of people removing games from the glass cases and putting them on a metal cart, then cleaning the cases out. I noticed that they had only removed the older games; stuff like The Nightmare Before Christmas, Taiko Drum Master, etc. They pulled at least 75-100 games. I didn't ask about it at the time, but I went back today just in case they were starting a big clearance. It turns out that all of the games that were pulled last night are just gone. I checked all around the electronics area, but no luck. I asked the clerk on duty, and he didn't have a clue, but he said that they were probably sent away if they were removed and not replaced.

I hope this isn't the start of a trend.

If anyone is having trouble finding "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" on DVD, the Best Buy on U.S. 19 in Clearwater had about 15+ copies left.

All the stores in and around Tyrone Square were sold out when I looked there and a lot of people on the boards have been posting that they can't find it anywhere, so just thought I'd pass along the info.

I heard the GameStop exclusive DVD that comes with it was crappy, but did anyone here actually get that version?

I can hopefully grab a copy of that exclusive DVD tommorrow... it's not part of the set, it's just a seperate DVD.

Today I managed to grab a copy of Silent Hill 1 and two copies of Silent Hill 3...woo!

If anyone finds any of the new penny guides at EB / GS let me know.

[Bezerker]

Just doing a local callout to go along with my post in the request forum. If anyone has spotted/spots a "Max Drive Pro" for Gamecube, plz let me know, thanks!

[Roufuss]

Actually just looking for the Fire Emblem guide that was pennied... but I don't want to drive over creation and waste more gas like I've been doing lately for one guide.

So if any of you are out at the 25 different EB / GS's around here, let me know if you can spare an extra if you find it.

[wageslave]

Circuit City in bradenton has plenty of Starfox Assault and some Paper Mario 2for $20 if anybody gives a shit.

[mm2barry]

I have the Axis and Allies board game with 2 sets of pieces, chips, and dice with tons of strategies printed out.
Also, i have Axis and Allies: Europe that's never been played. I opened one or two of the piece-packages, but they're all brand new.
I'd like to sell this or trade it, but if i can't get any offers, i'll give it away to someone who is willing to come and pick it up.
Please submit all trade or sale offers by Wednesday, 3 May. On thursday, i'll contact whoever has given me the best offer, or i'll open it up for free!!!
please send me any questions via PM.
Only open to Tampa CAGers.

Made a killing at CC today (not in my area)
got
FFXI Chains Of Promethia $6
Prince of Persia GBA $2
Drakengard $4
Silent Hill IV XBX $6
Galidor $1
Sphinx PS2 $3
Metal Arms XBX $2
Pokemon Channel $2

Batman ROST GBA $3
X-Men Next Demension PS2 $2
Knightmare of Druaga $2

To top it off I found a pristine GH copy of FFVII at Goodwill for $3 along with 4 50 cent NES games. Not a bad find.

Check the CCs in the area as there may have been a restock. These games were not there last time I went to Tally.

[Bezerker]

For anyone looking to find some anime at Gamestop, the Northpoint, Westshore, Hillsborough Ave, and Citrus Park (obviously) had no new anime.

Tomorrow ill try out the two Brandon locations, hopefully i have better luck. Though i was able to find a copy of Parasite Eve for $12.50 after tax. The Westshore location had a bunch of Rhapsody & Persona 2's.

[lyric706]

OK here's a question for you all. I tried preordering the DS Lite at the Baywalk EB Games yesterday, but they told me all EBs were having a problem with the SKU number. I have EB credit, so I have to do it through them. Has anyone had any luck preordering the DS Lite at EB here?

[leadfootedfool]

Target at dale mabry and ehrlich had zippo.

What about circuit city deals?? I've never seen a game below 7.50 at any circuit city.

[Roufuss]

What about circuit city deals?? I've never seen a game below 7.50 at any circuit city.

I found tons and this was about three months after the clearance started... they were on the shelf at full price.

The sale is over now though, since CC recalled all the cheap clearance games.

I know there's been talk about the pawn shops in Tampa, but I just finished a run through all the pawn shops on U.S. 19 in St. Pete. Lots of good deals on DVDs and CDs, but the biggest score of the day was a mint copy of the Zelda Collector's Disc for Gamecube (the one with Zelda 1, 2, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask) for $7 at the Cash America at 13th Ave. North! I also bought a copy of Fight Night Round 3 (360) for $30. I know it's not the best deal, but not bad, either. Good luck!

That was pretty decent, those pawn shops are usually garbage, espically that one Cash America. I think I've found maybe one deal at that place the 20 + times I've went there.

Awesome deals on DVD's though.

There are even worse pawn shops on 4th Street North.
