Dhsu Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 At first it looked like they didn't have anything on the list (except One Piece Grand Battle), but then I noticed that a lot of games get hidden because they stack them and just put plastic dividers in between. So I went back and checked behind every row, and ended up scoring Nightshade, Siren, Front Mission 4, and BG&E. 11 bucks. And then I played the Kill Bill theme in DDR SuprNova on their plasma TV setup. As they say in Kazakhstan, "great success." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustt Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I went and got shafted. only thing they had marked down was NHL 2k6. glad some of you guys got lucky with deals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Everyone on the Midway train to Best Buy got ROYALLY FUCKED. If any of you got deals, I will personally fuck you in the ear and give you hearing aids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNY Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Goddamn. They had nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChadlyOC Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 After visiting two stores in Columbus, Ohio area, I scored: FFIV for $10, then I had a "$5 off any GBA Game" coupon from GamePro, so it was $5. SRS for $2 - going to my ex roommate Day of Reckoning 2 for $2 I'm going back with my "$5 off any GCN Game" Coupon to pick up From Russia With Love for originally $10. I'll consider it a success because I grabbed the last copy of FFIV that's been sitting there all lonely for about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Oh shit I forgot about those $5 off coupons! You can find photocopies of the coupons, which supposedly do work and are scannable, on CAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I went to two stores, and they didn't have anything worth picking up. I wasn't expecting anything, so it was no great loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBiggler Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There were lines and campouts at the 2 Best Buy stores closest to me. I got there around 10:10am and everything marked down was gone, but I didn't see tags for any games that I wanted so I wasn't really disappointed.

Armoured Priest Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yeah, the Best Buy in my area didn't have anything I wanted. Now that could be because I waited till 2pm...or it could be that my local Best Buy sucks. I am leaning towards believing the latter due to past experience.

Dyne Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The Best Buy in my area had those stupid boxes with the $9.99 games, but no other markings for anything else, plus the PS2 area was wiped clean. And there were no areas for X-box/360 or GC. So that pretty much sucked. And to the person who mentioned the douche bag employees, I wouldn't doubt it one bit if they hogged the stuff for themselves, half the staff in my area's Best Buy doesn't even have peach fuzz on their chins yet.

Antipode Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 So like I said - I went to Best Buy. "Hey, I heard about some video game clearance going on today. Is that still on?" "...duh?" So he asked one of his coworkers who said that apparantly it WAS indeed on but it was all cleared out in the morning in the first hour. Damn.

Bahamut Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Told ya all you should've went the day before to clear house and bring the stuff back today to price adjust - someone on CAG got refunded ~$1300 for his purchases after the price adjustments.

Dhsu Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Wow, either he wanted every single game on the list, or he's a serious eBay-hawking jerkhole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Wow, either he wanted every single game on the list, or he's a serious eBay-hawking jerkhole. Actually, he bought a lot of them as fodder for his trade list on CAG - I'm sure he'll be selling some of them too, but he put up a lot of the good stuff on the tradelist.

supremespleen Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Man they had nothing. They did have X-Men Legends II, used, for 15 bucks. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I trust them enough for that. I mean, if I bought a lot of games and they refused to refund I'd be out of a lot of money. Why should they allow "price adjusting" for customers who bought on a day when the clearance wasn't even going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically it's not a clearance - I haven't heard of any cases where someone got denied, but also even if you get screwed, just return them and rebuy them on the spot. Either way, it's a 0 risk situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueblazer1224 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I was able to find three copies of Virtua Fighter 4: EVO at my local Best Buy for $2/per. I bought two of them (one for a friend) and also got NHL2K6 for $5. The cashier told me that just a short while ago a guy came in and bought 2 shopping carts full of games. If I'd had been in before him then I would have had a pretty sweet selection...oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I went tonight at 7pm because i didn't see the site until i got home from work today. and there was NOTHING there. not a single game on the list that i saw. One of my friends bought multiples of like every single game on the list, but he's a collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Was hoping on finding Pikmin 2 there, but the only cube ones they had were Animaniacs, Chicken Little, and Crash Racing which was already sold out. Didn't notice anything interesting in the PS2 department either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
