Got 64 games (GBA, XBX, PS2, GC) for $318.37.

New Pic

BTW, I went to three CC in Oregon today, and there was only two other people at the first one. The second and third stores had NOBODY there, and it was easy pickings.

Early birds get games; if you're from Oregon, don't say you didn't have a chance.

I went to four Circuit City and only pick up one game:frown:

Cannot find some games like Zone of Enders: 2nd Runner, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, Megaman X7, or Dynasty Warriors 4:( Cannot find any of the Gundam games either. Do they even stuock Gundam games?:confused:

I do not suppose that anyone could pick up couple games for me and ship it to me? Of course I would pay the total with shipping. That would be great though.

Does anyone know how long this clearance last?

The prices from circuitcity.com seem to mostly also apply to the B&amp;M. The only game from that list (non-dups from the first post) to not ring up for $4.99 is Arcade Advanced. From this list I got these games for $4.99:
Dead to Rights (Xbox)
Tetris® Worlds Online (Xbox)
Ford Racing 2 (Xbox)
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (GBA)

None of the others were in stock at my local store. But you could use this list to look for games that haven't been picked over yet and the prices should mostly apply. You can always try.

Is this sale actually advertised anywhere? WalMart has been known to PM other stores; I've had no problems when I brought an actual ad in to PM with. Could be worth a shot.

We need to compile a list of stores that will PM the CC ad when/if it comes out. I'd love to pick up quite a few more games.

Also, does anyone know how often CC restocks? They were out of Disgaea, MGS, and many more. Is this sale running from now through next week and beyond, or is it stopping then starting back up on the 11th?

BTW, many people are saying that these games will be taken off the shelf soon, to be put in a $5 bin next Sunday.

An altered list of possible games is here:

GBA

Boktai
Breath Of Fire 2?
Chu Chu Rocket
DBZ Goku
Disney's Party
Final Fight 1
Fire Pro Wrestling
F-Zero
Jet Grind Radio
Konami Collector Series Arcade

Went to THREE different CC and in each one of them employees were already picking the shelves clean. This is pretty pathetic. I mean employees should get some perks such as first dibs but when you see 3-4 employees raiding the shelves and scanning every game they could find, it becomes ridiculous.

I was at the CC on Hwy. 41 in Marietta/Smyrna GA this morning and I saw a guy loading up on all sorts of games. I didnt have the list, but he was nice enough to show me what x-box games were good. I got Vexx, Syberia and Enclave. They had an entire bin marked "20-40% off" , but no telling what was 4.99. The guy also told me that some games have different sku's on them and one box may ring up 4.99 while the same title in another box may ring up 19.99. They had a big bin with all of the platforms represented.



Peace

Hot topic!

Too bad the Circuit City stores in my area are closed on this holiday :( Hopefully they'll have something left by tomorrow when I hit them up to clean house. =)

Gainesville, FL Circuit City is raped and pillaged.

There were at least 8 or 9 other people lists in there when I was. I got the last copy of MGS:2 and Spyhunter2 and the 2nd to last copy of Wild Arms 3. There were some others still there like Armored Core 2 and Vexx, but for the most part all the decent games are gone.

We had 4-5 customers in our store when we opened this morning at 11am, all of them had baskets full of games. One couple sat on the floor for almost an hour picking through every game and pulling any on the list. I picked up the few i wanted before we opened, but most were gone in the first hour or so....

I went to CC to look at those games, but there was a sign up saying that the 4.99 games was a computer glitch and only the ones that are supposed to be 4.99 are physicall prices. As you guys guess couldn't find anthing that was 4.99.


not to be mean , but something i wished my cc have closed down so i don't have to waste my time going there.

CC's everywhere are pulling or marking up the games because they need stock left over for the advertised sale on July 11th. No stock means they get in big trouble (bait &amp; switch).

Is your store pulling the games to save them for Sunday?

AFAIK, there isn't much left. One of the cashiers said that someone was in yesterday afternoon and bought close to $250 worth.

I heard the merch's talking about making a bin to put them all in, but it seemed as if they were taking about doing it today to make it easier for all the peeps looking for the cheap games, as opposed to a sale next week. I personally haven't heard anything of a sale next week.

Nothing really at Newark, CA and I heard nothing really left at Hayward, CA. Darn it would have been nice to get MGS2 and ZOE.
