it's baaaaaaack (circuit city games clearance)

Nothing worth owning for GC or GBA. Baiten Kaitos is there but CCs are shit when it comes to stocking the goods. I'll wait for a mint Amazon.com used copy later where it'll be $8-12.

If you're really serious about hunting down some of these games, it might be smart to go out tomorrow and buy the games you want. Then return next week and get your receipt price-matched.

Are you sure they'll do that? Usually it has to be advertised, or they'd at least have to have it in stock to honor that deal. After all, they'd need reference.

You must have a shit Circuit City because all of my CCs completely own Best Buy or Target or anywhere else.
yeah, I think you might be the exception. I've never seen a single competent CC no matter what state it was in.
 
the problem with Circuit City is that many of them are "mini" stores which are about half the size of a regular Circuit City, and who's game/DVD/music sections are about the size of the gum and tabloid stands at the checkout counter of your supermarket. i always get boned when there's hot game or dvd deals cause my CC doesn't carry shit.

just requesting now if anyone finds a copy of Baiten Katos please send me PM i will be happy to give you money in exchange.
 
Well, I'm sure none of those games will actually be available at my local CC. It was garbage even before Best Buy took over.

I'm passing this time--last time the shoppers behaved like animals, and there wasn't anything worth buying anyway.

That said, Gladius is the best thing on that list. Don't pass it up if you don't already have it.

you guys arent thinking hard enough


what you do is buy these games NOW at whatever price it comes up (you may have to ask for the games since i hear some stores are pulling the games for the sale). buy them now, keep the receipt and games sealed. when the sale starts, simply get a price reduction by showing your receipt.


now, anyone want to get an extra copy of baten kaitos for a $20 off coupon from gamestop.com?

Worth 3 times it's weight in gold. At $9.99, everyone who gets it should feel dirty for waiting so long.

Wont worked, has to be advertised. If they showed the prices for the game in which you got, then yes it would work. Thats what i got from CC when i asked.

And they are putting games away by the box load, hope its not all shit.

if it doesnt work, tell them you want to return the game and buy it again from the spot

Madden 05 is worth 10 bucks definately as long as you like football. Haven't played NCAA 05 and Madden 04 isn't as good as 05.

I've already bought my copies of Baten Katos and Rallisport 2. Now I just have to make sure I leave them sealed till next week. :)

Not for everyone. I was on Circuit City on friday, and some clerks had a big crate of the games. I saw BK among them. I asked the clerk if they were buyable and he said no, getting them ready for the sale on 7/3, so i'd have to wait.

I'll be there when they open at 11am tommorrow.

That's YMMV. And even if the prices in the register have dropped, many stores have hid the games in the back until tomorrow.

I'm heading over there about 10-15 minutes early tomorrow, but my guess is I'm going to get nothing. I have ZERO luck with these things :lol

I've read on here before that sometimes CC employees don't let you have the game at the cost it comes up as. Is this true....has it happened to anyone this time around?

Just wanna know before I go into a store and get horribly rejected at the register.

During the $5 glitch, my roommate and I got into two different lines. The lady in front of my roommate protested the glitch, talked to the manager and shit, so when my roommate went next the guy wouldn't honor the $5 glitch.

Yeah, probably the "right" thing to do, but I got my games. :D

Picked up Baten Kaitos, Samurai Warriors, and Project Snowblind. Coulda gotten a couple more, but didn't want to spend the money. GTA Doublepack was missing at my store, as well.

Also got Resident Evil: Apocalypse SE from their DVD sale. Girlfriend got Pulp Fiction and Holy Grail SEs, too. Overall, not bad.

Picked up Gungrave OD, King of Fighters, Project: Snowblind. Those were ones on my list. Then I also got SRS for the hell of it :)

If anybody has an extra Baten Kaitos or Bloodrayne 2 they want to sell, PM me :). The guy in front of me grabbed them all :(

There was quite a crowd waiting in front of the store, at least 20 people. Half went for the DVD sales while the other half went for the games.

Guess I'll just repost my response from CAG:
Just got back from the Westminster, Colorado Circuit City, ...and nothing I wanted on the list was there. :(

There were quite a few titles in the bin, though, and there were only 2 other people rooting through it when I was there. They seemed to manage to get a handful of things, but everything I was interested in, I either already had (.hack//OUTBREAK, Arc the Lad: ToS, etc) or simply wasn't there (Baten Kaitos, GBA LotR titles, Gladius, etc).

But, I did manage to snag an original, boxed copy of Star Ocean: 'Till the End of Time in mint condition, so the trip wasn't a total waste. :)


Thanks to the OP, anyway.
And now to just find myself a copy of Kaitos...

All I could find was SSX 3 and Tigerwoods 2004. I REALLY wanted Baten Kaitos though. =(

If any of you find an extra copy and are in a giving mood, I'd love to buy it off you. Just PM me. Or I can trade for a copy of SSX 3 if you want to do that instead.

Just got back and I got ProjectSnowblind and Chroniclesof Riddick. There was no one buying games, but one guy had 2 baskets with over 60 games. My CC didn't have any GC titles though, it was odd. When I asked the sales rep I got the response I expected which was "if it's not in the bins we don't have it." Funny how they could mistakenly omit games from an entire platform.

Sorry Snowolf, had I known I would have grabbed another. My CC had about 6 copies of BK. :(
Well, there are 3 of us here that went for Kaitos but couldn't find it... May I suggest a return trip? :D

;)
 
baiten katos can be purchased on the cc website for $9.96. pop:ww is sold out though... the entire list is not available for the sale price on the website, but there are a few. go now.
