Indiana Deals Thread

I think I remeber what he is talking about. A few years back like the same year office max closed they had a christmas store in that building. It was like darlington farms but felt a little cheaper and they had a lot more decoration and wraping paper type stuff where as darlington farms is more like present, nick nacks stuff.

In answer to his original question I have not seen a store in town that had the same feel as that one did.
 
Has anyone been to the Game Xchange in Lafayette recently? I hadn't been there much at all this year, but stopped by this past weekend. All of their prices seemed to be quite high compared to what I've gotten used to.

-ReussDr[/QUOTE]I dunno. They're prices aren't perfect, but not too bad. I might stop there, before I go home, in two days.

Have you eaten at Yats? Thats some good eats. 60 could feed about 10 people there.
 
[quote name='hofa']Have you eaten at Yats? Thats some good eats. 60 could feed about 10 people there.[/quote]I have not. I always drive by though, but the parking looks to be too much of a hassle there on College so I pass it up. You wanna deal for the certificate? I could give you a CAG local discount.

[quote name='Rictor']I'm in Indy...CML for the Yats GC. It can be used at the downtown Indy location, right? When does it expire?[/quote]Hmmm...didn't see anything I'm looking for. You wanna do a gift card for cash trade? If you've got an Xbox and looking for a headset, I can throw in a new one as well since I don't use it. That's gratis. No expiration date on the certificate and is good at the Yats location downtown (Mass Ave.), College Ave., and Bloomington.
 
It's a $60 gift certificate. How's $45 sound, with an Xbox headset and Crimson Skies if you want for free as well? Or give me an offer and we can work something out.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but the WalMart in Greenwood on County Line Road (the new one) had one (1) PS3 20 GB available as of 12:00PM today (December 13)

Thought someone might want one.

I check this thread every couple weeks or so. If you need to contact me, send me a PM. He can have it though.

On another subject, anyone see any Wii nunchucks anywhere in Indy? I want to pick up one tomorrow since my brother is coming over to play some 2-player Wii games and I only have one.

I saw some at the Castleton TRU a few days ago, but no promises at this point since the accessories are in such flux.

38th st target had some but that was two days ago, I doubt they lasted this long.

Last time I went about a week ago, there were tons of accessories. Try the online store checker though before you go.
 
I'm still trying to find a Wii. No luck at this time.
EB at JP has at least 2 PS3's in the larger hard drive config. The guy said they've actually been having trouble moving them lately. He said a shipment usually sticks around for a day or two because people don't want to spend the money.

Every major retailer in Indy will have Wiis on Sunday: Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuity City, EB/GS, TRU, etc. Pick a secluded store and go stand in line 30 minutes early. My wife got ours at the Best Buy on 38th St. several weeks back after first trying the busier Best Buy in Avon, where they were nice enough to tell her all the systems were gone before the store opened (i.e. more people in line than systems available. I would suggest the 38th St. store for anyone that want one on Sunday...just be 30-60 minutes early and you'll probably score one. It's the slowest Best Buy in the Indy area (probably because 38th St. sucks). I wish the city would reclaim 38th St., put some money into it, and start building it back up, because all the good stores have gone out of business on this side of town: Circuit City, Game Crazy, and TRU, just to name a few. The whole area is becoming a graveyard of huge, empty buildings.

They look to be starting with the 38th St. project near Meridian though. Looks pretty nice (at least the roads) as far west as the art museum, but I don't know if it'll ever extend to the Lafayette Square area anytime in the near future.
 
Any local Indy CAGs looking for a PS3, I have family friend looking to unload one. Just contact me. It's a sealed 60GB version.
 
My mom is looking for a DS lite for Christmas (Pink) but of course she waited until Sunday to start looking. I saw some at the Carmel Super Target but I called on Sunday and they said they were out of all Lites, as were all other places I could think of. Does anyone have any ideas of a place that my have any color Lite? What are the odds any place will have them again before Christmas? Thanks!
 
I'm about to cry after what happened today. I went to Meijer today, on Illinois Rd. and I saw a 20GB PS3 sitting there. I just couldn't believe it, because I could get it for $425, after 15% off. However, since I never thought it would happen, I had to think about it (whether I'll have the money for it). Just when I realized I would, I saw some Asian guy standing right in front of the PS3, calling someone up asking how much they are going for on ebay. He snatched it up from me, before I could get it. I shouted "I was going to get it, since I actually want to keep it", and he's like "I'll sell it to you for $700". Now, I fucking hate ebay scalpers even more and wish "death" to them. Now since I thought about a PS3, I decided I will get one, the next time I see a 20GB model, during a Meijer sale (might be a while, but I'm saving up).

Other than store hopping, your best bet is Toys R Us. Nintendo has been keeping their stock fairly full.

You can also try WalMart (specifically N Keystone) they tend to be lousy in their display of systems so they might have a pink system behind a black or white one.

Actually I had been planning to pick up some game hardware sometime next year after some price drops. Comboing up a 15% sale day with 10% off your first purchase with a credit card application makes for a huge discount, and waiting until after the holidays means I won't have to worry about it being out of stock.
 
I've found some really good deals on PSP games at the Blockbuster's down in Castleton and the one up in Lafayette. I don't own a PSP yet, but figure I'll get one eventually.

Used (25% off marked price)
Daxter $14.99 ($11.25)
Wipeout Pure $6.99 ($5.25) [Marked used, but still new in shrinkwrap]
Me & My Katamari $16.99 (Rang up at $14.99, so $11.25) [Still new in shrinkwrap]
Metal Gear Acid $14.99 ($11.25)
Metal Gear Acid 2 $16.99 (Rang up at $14.99, so $11.25) [Still new in shrinkwrap]
Twisted Metal Head-On $14.99 ($11.25)

New
Death Jr. $9.99

I'm not sure how much is left at most locations, but they seem to be clearing out a bunch of old inventory.

I was close to Blockbuster in Castleton two days ago. Unfortunately, I already own all those games, but I love them all though.

I will wait until PS3 stock is more plentiful. I'm debating, although it might not happen, if I should wait until Meijer does 20% (It doesn't happen often, but it happens occassionally), because getting a 20GB PS2 for $400 or a 60GB for $480 would be huge.

I found out who that person was who took that PS3 from me. He looked like someone from my old H.S., but could not guarantee it because I know a few who look like him. Also, I never really knew that guy either. I found out it was him by randomly looking at one of my friend's profile at Facebook, saw him next to the girl that looked nearly identical to the one I saw him with. Well, I know a lot of information about him, and I have friends who know him, so I might get some revenge.

i dont think 20gb are even getting 600 on ebay anymore are they.

too bad it wasnt a scotts food store. They got something in there that blocks cell phones from working (got to walk to the front of the store to use the phone) LOL

Lol, I never knew that about Scott's, but I'm usually not in there long.

Does the Blockbuster's you said who mentioned they'd stop carrying PSP games at this time, really stop carrying PSP games? I only go to the one on Jefferson, and although the PSP selection is small, they're still getting new games in (I rented MGS Portable Ops from them). It's also 2 for $10, on game rentals (PSP, PS2, GC, and Xbox games only).

You could always apply with a family member that doesn't have one. That'd make a PS3 60GB $432. I'm hoping that the 360 and PSP will price drop near the end of Q1. Then I'll just wait for a 20% off day and use the 10% off with a new CC to get both damn cheap. Maybe I'll even throw in a Wii.

There were other PSP titles they had in stock, but as someone who doesn't already own a PSP, those were the most noteworthy.

they still carry around 16 or so games. They are mostly talking about once the wii, xbox 360 and ps3 section needs the room the psps are the first to go

so probally not till summer. what is werid though is when i was told this we didnt see a new game in months but now there is around 7 newer games on the shelf. I was shocked they got some of them in.
so maybe the place they get the psps from made a better deal to keep the stuff on the shelf
 
If you're looking for a DS locally, I think the only option you have is Costco. They have a New SMB bundle with accessories (which aren't too bad) that costs about what the DS and the game would alone. Don't know about colors though.
 
wondering if anyone wanted these

I will take the hollywood video coupons off your hands if you are just going to toss them. I get a game from them sometimes. Shoot me a pm.

Yah, call every Gamerush within an hour of your house. If you live in Indy, that's about 30 stores. They lock their DS Lites up in the case, so they might have one buried in there at one of the less-frequented stores.
 
TRU in castleton did not have any wii when i went there today but they had about six ps3's just chilling there. i didn't check if they were 60's or 20's.
 
I was at TRU in Fort Wayne today, and there was no sign saying the PS3 was sold out. I saw the PS3 was in-stock because I saw a young kid and his Mom buy a 20GB one. I was very, very close to buying one, but I decided I'll wait until Meijer runs a sale. If I can't wait, I'll just go ahead and pay $500. Mana Knight without a PlayStation platform is just like Linus (from Charlie Brown and Snoopy) without his blue blanket, lol.
 
I just bought a 20GB PlayStation 3 today at Meijer, along with a memory card adapter. I saw one left at the one on Illinois Rd. It sucked because Meijer didn't have a large bag, so I had to carry a PS3 throughout the store. I was hoping I wouldn't get jumped, so I walked quickly, and put it in the trunk of the car.

Still haven't see a Wii anywhere.
 
Is that Meijer in a bad area or something? Heh, the Meijer near me is in the suburbs...never worried about getting jumped there. I've seen PS3s all over the place in Indy lately. The 20 gig version is actually becoming harder to find than the 60 gig as people seem to want to save $100. I think Sony is going to have to price drop the 60 gig to $400 by next year in order to stay in the console game.

not really a bad area and dont see why he would be jumped. I seen ps3s over there a few times and noone was buying them.
 
I was over at the Meijers on Maysville Rd and saw 2 ps3s. I don't know if they were 20 or 60 gig models. That is actually the first time I've ever seen one of those in store. They also had a big clearance isle, but it didn't have much gaming stuff. One thing I did notice was that it seems like they had really cleaned out all the cheap games section.

I also dropped by the EBgames over there as well. Is it just me or does that EB smell?
 
[quote name='slidecage']not really a bad area and dont see why he would be jumped. I seen ps3s over there a few times and noone was buying them.[/QUOTE]Well, I paid $530 for it, after tax, so that's why I was a tad worried. But it made it home safely and I'm playing it now.

It's just that the last time I was there, a scalper took a PS3 away from me, but I'm betting he didn't make profit. :lol:
[quote name='Rictor']I think Sony is going to have to price drop the 60 gig to $400 by next year in order to stay in the console game.[/QUOTE]You're probably seeing them easily because you don't want one. :p That's normally the case, because I had some trouble finding the 20GB when I decided I wanted one. I know others that want a PS3, but can never get it (due to them being in stores mid-day, and being at work).

Actually, I'm seeing the 60GB sell faster, since the majority of people want a 60GB. Sony isn't dropping the price that big, anytime soon. Dropping the 60GB to $400 would be a horrible idea, since it has tons of features the 360 lacks (WiFi, HDMI, MS/CF/SD card reader, 40GB larger HDD, blu-ray, etc.). The truth is, a 20GB PS3 is pretty much equivalent to the 360 premium pack (except it lacks a headset and component, but has blu-ray and HDMI. They both lack WiFi, and a 360 WiFi adapter is $100). Sony already loses over $250. Also, Sony does make profit (Around $30) on every PS2 that sells, and PS2 is still selling well. They even profit a little on every PSP sold, so Sony is doing fine. It's just that the difference is, not everyone has $500 to $600 in their pocket right away, which is why it will sit on the shelves a tad longer (compared to other newer consoles), but still sells out. The main problem now is too people people feel the 20GB is some kind of "tard pack", like the 360, when it actually gives you everything you need and is equivalent to the Premium 360, while the 60GB just gives you several extra features and larger HDD (that really aren't needed, but there are people who want that). If Sony were to drop any price (within a year), it would be the 20GB to $400 and the 60GB to $500.
