ZombiU was, forgot the price. Same for Mario Tennis for the 3DS.

Cough...Luigi87 got it.
Went to the local shoppers to pick up Lego City Undercover, but they didn't have any left. They had the boxart sitting in a white Wii display case, and had a bunch of Wii games with blue cases. Almost picked up Skyward Sword for $20 instead, but I don't think I'd ever end up playing it.

Someone at RFD got some others:
ZombiU - $17.99
Tank Tank Tank - $13
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition - $13
Resident Evil Revelations (Wii U) - $30
Mario Tennis Open - $11.99
Might try my luck again with price matching Tekken, not a major drop from $20, but still a $12 after deduction would be nice.
Wouldn't recommend Tank without trying the F2P download version, and I wasn't crazy about it at all (30fps WTF).
Also DSi is $50.

I went looking for the $99 vita and the stock was absolutely cleared out of everything. All the Xboxes, Vitas....gone.

Sorry, I just got back home. I went into another shoppers, and they didn't have the same deal. I suspect that was just a store deal; if it helps, in the first store it said up to December 7 or something, and while the stock lasts.
I am not sure if you could find them in stock anyway; they were all sold out in the store I checked; but they had the PS3s in stock, as they hadn't updated the price tags and people hadn't noticed yet.
And yes, lots of games on sale as well. From top of my head, JD4 was $15.
I got a Wii (not wii u) classic controller pro white for $12 as well.
lol PS3 don't give a crap about that. But nice job to anyone managing to find some stock on these good deals.
Hmm nearest Target near me opens at the end of the year. I don't suppose they'll be subject to these insane clearances?

That's a shame, I could really go for a $200 wiiu. Well there is still plenty of time for it's price to drop.

I doubt it; they guy told me they are clearing stock for PS4/X1; though probably they will put PS3/X360 back when they see people can't afford PS4/X1; lol
Well, yeah; I want a Wii U, but next year when MK and SSB are out; I don't see why I should buy one now even if it doesn't get as cheap as it is now [which is quite probable; there were some deep cuts for 3DS last year; MK XL went as down as $150; but now that 3DS is selling like banana, even the normal ones barely go that low]

I used mine for Zombie U in-store reservation and it worked!
@Calgary Gaf: Chinook Target is out of any kind of Vitas -_- Just to save everyone the trip!
and are they selling it for $99?

I'm gonna head to Target tomorrow and see what kinds of deals I can find. I'm betting most things are cleared out by now, but it doesn't hurt to check. Guelph is sometimes untouched when it comes to big clearance sales.
Went to/called a couple Targets in the Durham area. Apparently some dude just came in and cleaned them out, dropping a couple grand at each place. It bothers me that sometimes places don't limit individual purchases of clearance items like that, cause the guy is only going to resell them on ebay or at the Pickering flea market or something and then an individual just profits off of this instead of everyone getting cheaper funtimes.

Those resellers are the worst.

Centrepoint Mall Target had nothing except a Kinect/4GB Xbox
Really small games area, they are definitely clearing space for next gen

Don't know, it was my wife who went to ask, cause I was at work and they told her they are sold out of Vitas! I'm guessing it's either the employees or a hoarder has paid them a visit!
Spoken like a dude who always misses the deals. You'll get a good deal someday, keep at it

Bullshit. Spoken like someone that finds the behaviour of hoarding-scalpers that regular RFD pathetic.

Really?!! I get to enjoy a deal every now and then, still find it disgusting when people clear the shelves and run to sell for profit on Kijiji!!
Does anybody know how much would EB give you for a 250gb super slim PS3?
It's my second PS3 and I will probably not gonna need it after PS4 launch so I might trade it in for my PS4!
Toronto Danforth Target was dry. The guy who looked up the stock did acknowledge the price being 99, but he said they sold out super fast as soon as that price hit. He checked the stock and the back, but there weren't any left.
I didn't see anything worth buying there, otherwise. 4GB 360s were the only clearance item I saw.

Target at Whitby got Zombi U for 17.99, Resi 6 PS3 13.99
Yes there is.And there's an LCBO there as well. And there used to be a used video game store by the name of "Iceman Video Games" when I was young. I traded in my beloved Dreamcast there for xbox stuff after the first price drip. Good times.

Strange, Futureshop sent me an e-mail yesterday with an Oct. 24th release date for Knack and a Nov. 4th release date for Killzone Shadow Fall. I know the games will be released before the console but I don't think it's going to be that early.

Another update on the Pokémon XY guide situation for those keeping track: Chapters now has it "in stock" (also price is yet again back down to $11.50). Amazon has it pegged to ship in 1-4 months but I'm guessing that will change promptly. Anyway, Chapters should be shipping them out soon. Keeping an eye on my order/credit card to see if I get charged.

I managed to grab Zombi U, TTT2 and Mario Tennis Open from Target. I missed out on a Vita by about two hours. The cashier said some dude came in and bought every single one they had.
Fucker.

Anyone knows of any place I can get Skyward Sword and Smash Bros for cheap?
Skyward Sword is $25 at Target if you can find a copy.

duh, and I was there yesterday; will check it again on Monday. thanks for the tip. But probably they sold out, cause I don't remember seeing it.
Think I saw Skyward Sword at Wal Mart on St.Clair (stockyard district)
Wait and get the Zelda bundle...

EDIT:
Never mind. I thought that said $169. It's regular price.
EDIT2:
If anyone's still interested, Indigo Chapters is still selling the Pokemon guide for $11.49 (member price) and $12.64 (online price). http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/pokemon-x-pokemon-y-the/9780804161992-item.html Common lurkers, you know you want to.
They were both $20 at shoppers when I went.
