Pasted from CheapAssGamer


I figured that by the time I got home from work this would have already been posted with the list, but it looks like I should have brought the list home with me. Best Buy is putting a ton of slower-moving games on clearance starting Monday Sept. 12th. Prices ranged from .99-9.99, with most being 4.99, and included games for all systems.

FAQ:

When does the sale being?
The sale begins on MONDAY SEPT 12th when bestbuy opens

Is the sale also online?
no one knows for sure, often bb keeps prices the same, but like i said, this isnt a guarantee. some people are ordering online now and hoping to pricematch later, again, this isnt a guarantee.

Why are people saying they are getting games now, when the sale dosent start until monday?
some people are buying games ahead of time for full price and going back later to get a price adjustment on the games.

BB.com says the games are out of stock in stores around me, is that reliable?
no, its not reliable, it might be right, or it might not, this is from first hand experiance i had today (going to BB then checking avaliability of games i knew where on the shelves when i got home..)

Should i call and ask about the sale?
no, very rarely is calling and asking about a big unadvertised sale a good idea. it can tip off employees that the sale is even going on, also some empolyees might know about it and might have been told to deny it, and some might have no clue at all.

Will the $5 off coupon work on these games? (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums...ead.php?t=58353)
that will be YMMV, the coupon says in black and white, excludes clearance items, so if you get shot down dont cry about it.

That is awesome, thanks for the heads-up.

[MarsKitten]

Oooo i'm gonna grab me the FF ones.

[Jetman]

Nice. I'd love to pick up Growlanser and some others for < $10 - thanks man!

[Cowutopia]

FUCKING FINALLY. Viewtiful Joe 1 for cheap. I have long awaited this day.

[Ramzavail]

I cant believe Growlanser Generations for 10 bucks, I bought it off of Ebay for $35 a month ago...thats unbelievable...there are alot of good games there that Id pickup

[toxic]

There is alot of EA crap on there.

Paper Mario 2 for 10 bucks looks nice. FF8 for 5 bucks and maybe the Mega Man game on the GBA.

[dakidski]

If they don't ship internationally free; I don't care!

[Jeremy]

Hopefully, I can go there tomorrow and get Paper Mario 2 for $10. That's just about the only game listed there that I want. I could replace Def Jam Vendetta for $5, but that's pretty low on the priority list.

Edit - Missed Otogi 2 and the DS games. I should be able to at least get one of those DS games if I can go. Growlanser is appealing at $10, but I doubt I'd have time for it. Future Tactics would be a good buy at $5, since it's slipped through the purchasing cracks for me.

[Grave]

The Best Buys in Boston are shit, so I'm calling in favors with friends... I hope this results in me finding a copy of Ys. I know the Best Buy at home had one collecting dust, I hope it's still there.
