Fuck, this deal is amazing. I don't have a CC anywhere near me, but I'm tempted to pick a direction and drive until I see one. I want PDO, Voodoo Vince, Crimson Sea, DOA:XVB, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Toe Jam & Earl 3, and Kung-Fu Chaos.

All for the total of $40. Sigh....

Damn that list for Xbox and GC is huge! I wish I'd known about them. Tomorrow I am going with a printed list to try and get Crimson Sea, DOA Volleyball (shitty but worth $4.99 heh), Burnout 2, ESPN Hockey, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, GUNVALKYRIE, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Voodoo Vince, Wakeboarding Unleashed for Xbox.. then maybe Def Jam Vendetta and PSO for Cube. Viewtiful JOE for $4.99 is a fucking STEAL btw.

I must hit my circuit city tomorrow and score some of these games. Knowing my luck, everything I want will be sold out. Is this deal advertised around the store? I hope not, so I can have a better chance at scoring games. If I had done my reading before I left today, I could've investigated today. ARGH. I hope the Altoona Circuit City doesn't run outta games. Luckily I live in the middle of nowhere where people don't play many games, so hopefully I can score bigtime.

What state do you live in?

I'm not entirely far from an altoona that's pretty much in the middle of nowhere, if they've got a decent selection I'll have no problem comandeering my roomate's vehicle for the trip there. :p

Well that does it for talking to CC managers today. I even told them i was disabled and couldnt get there for any chance in hell. Too bad cause this would have been a great birthday present for my 19th which is coming around the corner.

Good god let's hope they're open tomorrow. :( And that there's actually a few games still in stock worth getting. I was out watching Spider-Man 2 so I didn't see this thread before and the cruel irony of it all is that the Circuit City is right across from the theatre. :(

By the time I got home it was too late to go back.

Dammit! Tomorrow is the fourth! I forgot about that.

I'm going to kick the founding fathers' asses if I miss out on this deal because of them!

Watching Spider Man 2 >>>> buying cheap games


you made the right choice
 
I will be going first thing tomorrow when they open(im pretty sure they will open tomorrow). If they have extra copies of the popular games I will be sure to buy them for fellow gafers. Hopefully there will still be some stock left.

Damn, Disgaea is pretty good! I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far! Fun little game!

Didn't expect it to be so...low-res, though. :p Ah well...

You'd have to pay me to take most of those games. Because then they'd be free.

Have you seen gas prices?

Okay, let me know how you fare. Hopefully they'll have something I want here, but I'm not optimistic.

I finally snagged Network Transmission, thanks much for the updates Wario. I'm rather enjoying it

Sadly, outside of that, they didn't have much here, just a few stray ick titles. Although if GameStop is having any trade in dealies, I wouldnt mind scooping up stuff like GbtG to use as trade in fodder, hmm.

There are two CC's in the 20 mile radius around me that I know of, so I'll print the list and do a little checking tomorrow.

Prices have been in effect since second week of june. WTF how the heck could no one have noticed all of this time? Weird stuff. Well just remember us Gafers that have tried and tried. And only want a few games.

Damn you ebay.

You know I was thinking that today was the day I would take the plunge and get a PS2. This was just the clincher. Got...

ICO
Megaman X7
Futurama (Hey, maybe the wife might like it, she loves Bender and for $4.99, who cares!)
Dynasty Warriors 4
Spy Hunter 2 (another WTF, it's $4.99 title)
Dark Cloud 2
and AC4: Shattered Skies at regular GH price since I've always wanted it.

Couldn't find Rygar, Disgaea or WildArms 3. There are two other CCs I could try tomorrow.
I've seen Armored Core 2 on the list above and Armored Core 3 on someones receipt. Anyone know if Silent Line is $4.99 as well?

God, I'm giddy.

Ebay is pretty ridiculous for more than one reason. I mean, Ape Escape 2, yeah I'm looking for the game, yeah I might pay $15 USD (triple markup over those CC prices), but then 10 bucks shipping to Canada?

It's like markup + markup.
 
since this deal is going on for so long, i dont suppose theyll be getting any more copies in once theyre sold out. this is a clearance , right?

Two weeks? I dont think so. There are CAGers who work for Circuit City and we would have known sooner if it was effective two weeks ago

then maybe a few of the games were already on clearance? Cause a manager was telling me that they've had Chaos legion and Ape Escape on clearance for two weeks now. Interesting none the less. I wonder if they will advertise this??

I know a lot of people are finding copies of Ape Escape 2. C'mon.

I'd gather everyone's Circuit City's are closed by now dude. It's after 10 even on the West coast. I'm having a blast with it though, great pick up at $4.99!
