I just picked up Final Fantasy Tactics GBA, Sigma Star Saga, and Guilty Gear DS for 27 bucks total!

They have this huge 9 dollar sale going on. I'm kind of bummed they didn't have Drill Dozer in stock though...

Pale · « **Reply #1 on:** June 23, 2006, 11:14:50 AM »

Oh, the games aren't marked in the store either...

That's a list.

vudu · « **Reply #2 on:** June 23, 2006, 11:39:35 AM »

That's a nice list. It's a shame my Circuit City sucks so badly.

EDIT: Why's this in the Funhouse? Shouldn't it be in one of the Amazing Deals threads?

Pale · « **Reply #3 on:** June 23, 2006, 11:56:40 AM »

Report it to a mod!

Actually it was across all platforms and I wanted to just tell the special people who read the funhouse =P

I dropped by earlier and got Tales of Phantasia, but I didn't realize that Sigma Star was on the list, too...I think I need to drop back tomorrow... =D

Pale · « **Reply #6 on:** June 23, 2006, 03:06:58 PM »

Man, I just went to a different store and got...

Drill Dozer
Yoshi Topsy Turvy
Radiata Stories
Xenosaga II

hurray! I have no time to play all these games!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #7 on:** June 23, 2006, 09:13:12 PM »

We don't have that store here. We also don't have discounts on DS games here. And we don't have half the games they give discounts on.

Bummer, KDR...

Oh yeah? Well Final Fantasy Tactics is still around $55 US here. Those other two will never even be released. Australia wins!

Went to mine to check this out, and everything in the clearance bin was all 95% licensed crap... not a single DS or PSP game in there either.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2006, 04:49:36 PM »

At mine it was the same for me...However, even though my Tales of Phantasia wasn't in the clearance bin it was still marked down to 9 bucks when I paid for it...

So wait, it was mixed in with the normal games and still had a "normal price" yet you paid the $9 for it anyway at the register?

Odd, wonder if it might have been the same way at mine, although they didn't seem to have a ton of the ones I would be interested in.

Word on the street is that the sale doesn't start until July 2nd or 4th; they aren't advertising it in-store at this time, but you may be able to buy the games at these prices now.

decoyman · « **Reply #15 on:** June 24, 2006, 10:36:20 PM »

From what I understand (having talked with a sales person there today), they've pulled a lot of the affected games off the shelf until the sale starts. So I'm just going to go back on the 2nd (or 4th) and see what they've got.

Pale · « **Reply #16 on:** June 25, 2006, 03:57:16 PM »

You can definately get the games at these prices now.

They are NOT in a clearance bin...

They are NOT marked with these cheaper prices...

Have the list on hand or know what games you are looking for... they will be 9 bucks at the register.

Hell, the pricetag on Xenosaga II was 50 bucks and it rang up 8.96.

stevey · « **Reply #17 on:** June 25, 2006, 04:05:33 PM »

My CC suck I went there but their was no sales nor could find almost any good /cheap games at all. I end up just buy buying NSMB and NGB.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 25, 2006, 04:32:13 PM »

I just got back from CC and they didn't have a single worthy game from the list for any system on any of the shelves.
I'm waiting for the advertised sale and then I'm going to goto a store that price matches.

Does Best Buy price match?

vudu · « **Reply #19 on:** June 26, 2006, 03:09:09 PM »

Pale, I owe you an apology; I just picked up Trace Memory and Polarium. Unfortunately, they were out of Metroid Prime Pinball, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Drill Dozer, Kirby Amazing Mirror and Yoshi Topsy Turvy.

BNM - They do, but since the prices aren't advertised, you might have a hard time. Best Buy Price Matching Policy

Quote
What is considered "verifiable proof" of price?

The best way to show proof of price is to bring in the competitor's current ad, which shows the price of the item you wish us to match and the dates for which the price is valid. If the current ad is not available, we reserve the right to call the competitor's store to verify the lower price and availability of the item.

Quote
What if the competitor does not have the item in stock or has limited quantities of the product?

Sometimes a retailer will advertise a very low price for a product but have only limited quantities in stock. If the item is out of stock or the competitor has limited quantities of an item, then the product is not eligible for price matching.

Best of luck to you.

This stinks. I don't have a Circuit city in my area.

Actually Sears also price matches, they do sell games. It's 110%. Policy is to just trust the customer but it's be better if you brought an add or have them give a call. They won't price match online and they need to be in your area.

I don't know it was 4 in the morning. I decided to do some morbid bumps.

I almost bumped this thread
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=8717.msg108576#msg108576

but it was not in the funhouse. That thread is ironic on so many levels.
