With Target closing down in a few days, thinking about going across town to see if anything decent is left on the video game racks. Picked my son up a couple of DS/3DS games for $6 at one store that closed recently.
I've found the closeout to be pretty sad. I really liked Target (and got a bunch of good deals there), plus it leaves such a big retail hole behind. For video games, I guess there are still a fair number of places to shop, but in terms of broad, general merchandise stores, what's really left? There's Walmart, and I guess Superstore.
Still, I do get that they disappointed. While I didn't see a ton of the "empty shelves" issues at my local stores, the liquidation was pretty eye opening, as stock got dumped into the stores -- some of which seemed as though it should have been on shelves before the liquidation ever started. I think if they launched smaller and expanded -- instead of launching big -- they might have made a better go of things here... certainly more room to manoeuvre and modify their Canadian edition to satisfy customers... without the huge losses.
$59.99
I have an old Amazon preorder for $62.99.
Yeah, it sucks that $60 is considered a good price.
Totally. I was fortunate to preorder it at E3 ($45.49)... if I had any inkling that the dollar would tank like it has, I would've preordered pretty much everything that was available -- so if I changed my tune on something I could try it at a good price.
