I finally found (and bought) the 360 version of Guitar Hero III. Best Buy (Eastside Madison) had them in stock for a few hours yesterday. There were 3 left as of 5pm.

I've been following the BB shipping patterns and determined that Madison Best Buy's would most likely get in a new shipment of GH3 yesterday. Well, I was half right. The Westside never got them in, but the Eastside did. Oh well, finally snagged it after 1 month+ looking for a non-Walmart (they only sell wired bundles) GH3.


Deer statues...

Believe it or not, Menards has a nick-nack section. You could look there. The ultimate place would be a Scheel's Sports. The one in Appleton has a whole deer/bear/moose nick-nack section. I suppose that's not very practical if you're looking around Madison.
 
I'm planning on hitting East Towne Best Buy tomorrow morning for a Wii. I'm not setting an alarm, but when my kitties wake me up (usually around 5) I'll feed them and head over.

Anyone have number ideas/time estimates for any stores? Should I be good on getting a Wii?

Edit - got started a little late and didn't get to Best Buy until about 6:20 and there were roughly 60 people in line. It was known there were at least 40, but a manager said they were still unloading when someone called. Well, at 7:30 it was revealed that there actually were only 40.

Bummed out I headed off to Target because I needed to warm up and do other shopping and thought they might be open early. They weren't, but I could see a line only 4 people deep. Intrigued I ask if they know how many systems were there and an off-duty worker who was getting one for himself told me they had about 40 left (employees had already given vouchers to a first line of about 30). So I was able to get one!

When I was waiting in line at Best Buy someone came over from CC trying to sell their voucher. CC only got 8 in and this guy had 3 of the vouchers. Nobody bit. I heard when he went to Target he was soundly laughed out of the place, since they were already guranteed one there and 40 more could come along afterwards!
 
*Tumbleweed*

FYI: Green Bay Family Video on East Main St. has about 5 copies of Metroid Prime 3, and 1 copy of Mario Strikers Charged for $20 each.
 
anyone here get the 25% off BB toy coupon to work? everyone that I talked to on slickdeals from Wisconsin couldn't make it happen, just wondering if anyone had any luck here
 
Re: Best Buy $25, Didn't try. The Slickdeals failure list deterred me.

In other news: this must be "Wacky Target Pricing Weekend" at Goodwill.

Yesterday, I got a barely-used Wiimote for $6.99 in Green Bay (old strap, no glove; presumably a Target return).

Then today, I saw several piles of last year's Activision Wii promo DVD movies at the Manitowoc Goodwill. Goodwill wanted $19.99 each. I wish I had a camera on me. I alerted the staff that these were a penny at first release, and they pointed out that it would be discounted soon (presumably half off? :)).

Have you seen any other craziness with respect to old/returned Target items at Goodwill?
 
I've heard Goodwill recieving items from target, but never found any evidence of any video games there. I've checked both Goodwills in Green bay constantly and have never had any luck. I sure wish they did carry. I was waiting for the Godfather to go down from 19.99 at target and the following week all the clearance items were pretty much gone. There's no way someone could have picked the store clean. oh well.
 
i did manage to buy Ghost Squad at the Green Bay West Side Target for 9.99. It was listed for 29.99 but was not found in the system.
 
you've probably seen circuit citys ad for viva pinata for 13.99. Well, i stopped by shopko today and browsed the clearance section and picked up a special edition viva pinata for 9.99. it's marked 19.99 but don't let that fool u.
 
Congrats on both. FYI the Green Bay east-side Goodwill has a Guitar Hero III (Wii) for $59.99 (in their display case). It looks like a Target return. Hopefully all the parts are there and it works, otherwise you're looking at about $60 in store credit if returned.
 
[quote name='WiiNet']Any word on what clearance titles are at Circuit City in Madison or Green Bay? I'm looking for DS and Wii.[/quote]

I didn't find any DS titles at Westside Madison CC. I scored on FFV Advance, and that was it. I didn't check on Wii games.

Westside Madison CC clearance has been picked over since Christmas. I only wanted the 360 version of Gun...no luck. Maybe the Eastside has a few.

I'll have to check while I'm out today. Haven't been to CC in a long time.
 
Madison here also, just joined the forum and posted in the CC clearance thread.

"Stopped in both Madison, WI CC's today and they don't have jack.
Was looking for Far Cry, COD2, Condemned, and Tony Hawk Wasteland for the 360 - Jade Empire for Xbox - and Godhand and Onimusha: DOD for the PS2.
Only one they had was COD2 which isn't on their list and is still at $29.99. Even had the guy scan it to be sure.
Would've liked to have also snagged Okami and MGS3 Subsistence at $16.95, but all the aforementioned titles are long gone."

Have been a gamer (and cheap!) for some time now.
I am not a hoarder and do not buy games to sell/trade for profit. I only purchase for myself.

I went to both CC's Sunday early afternoon. They had 2 copies of GUN for the 360 at the west side Madison CC, one after I left.
 
Didn't see anything good at Eastside CC, went to Target though and there were about 15 copies of the newest Tony Hawk CE for $15.
 
Green bay cc had about 75% PS2 games. I don't have one so i didn't look through the selection. I did pick up american wasteland for 360. There was one Chromehounds, tons of bomberman and 360 sports titles. Other than that, nothing.

I suggest everyone shoots off an email to your senators telling them of your disapproval. I stated that this surcharge is discriminitory and would prefer an increase on general goods/services. If there was scientific proof of video game violence causeing juvenile crime I would have no problem i.e. other "sin tax". Remember to include your address.
 
Thanks for the heads-up on the proposal/legislator links. I doubt this'll get a co-sponsor and pass, but I'm not going to leave it to fate. :)

Tony Hawk CE? Which Tony Hawk are we talking about and for what console?
 
Tony Hawk Proving Ground for the 360.

It's at the Super Target in Fitchburg for that price now as well.

There are enough copies around town that I'm ok waiting another week to see if it drops to $7.48.

Hmmm, I saw a bunch behind the glass in the regular section w/ no price tag.
That seems like a pretty good deal since it's still going for $59.99 elsewhere.
I'm pretty behind on Tony Hawk games - I still need TH Underground 2, Wasteland, and Project 8.
Although Proving Ground didn't score very well with most critics.
 
Personally, I liked the demo for SKATE better, but for $7 bucks, I'd probably give it a look.

Heck, I picked up Genji for the PS3 at Toys R Us last night for $12 bucks. I just wanted some giant crabs, I guess.
 
FYI the Green Bay East Mason Shopko has several copies of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii, 360), and Elite Beat Agents (DS) for $10 each, along with a bunch of other titles. Not amazing, but EBA for $10 is a pretty fair price.

It's on an island between the checkout and the electronics department, not in nor around the department itself.

EDIT: Oh, when I bought a Wii game, the cashier gave me a free $20 Gift Card for daleandthomas.com. Apparently they're giving them out with all DVD purchases.
 
Speaking of clearance games at Target....has anyone seen a copy of VF5 (PS3) in stock at a Target recently? I know the Wausau store is sold out, but I'm curious if any other sites have it.

There are still some 360 titles remaining at the West Madison Shopko.

N3, Just Cause, Tomb Raider Legend, Saints Row.

I picked up Ridge Racer 7 for the PS3 there. There were at least two more copies of that as well as a few copies of Full Auto 2 for the PS3.

Was just there, the Platinum Hits edition of Saints Row did not ring up at sale price.
 
How often does ShopKo update clearance prices? There's some other stuff on clearance that's a bit too expensive yet. I am trying to figure out when I should check back.
 
Damn to bad there are no shop ko's around the Milwaukee/Waukesha area I would love to get one of those SF Alpha Anthologies and God Hand. Would be willing to trade someone something off my list to pick one up for me.
 
[quote name='Derrick1979']Damn to bad there are no shop ko's around the Milwaukee/Waukesha area [/quote]

There are some near the area, but they are a bit of a drive: West Bend, Grafton, Watertown, and Racine.
 
Just picked up Lost Planet PC before I saw your message... still 3 copies of Stranglehold. Thanks for the heads-up either way!
 
[quote name='WiiNet']Anyone have a suggestion of where to sell used DVDs and CDs? I checked to deals thead but unfortunately we dont have FYE.[/quote]

Which region are you referring to? In Green Bay, I've found Video Game Kingdom to be more generous than GB Games for movies and games, but I haven't sold many movies.
 
They're in the East Town Mall, right across from Radio Shack. There's also a consignment store in the mall, which has various games at (usually) ambitious prices.
 
I posted this in the main thread, but figured it could be spread here. The Monroe Shopko still has many of the clearance games. I thought it would be picked over, but there were literally walls of games available. The only ones on my radar I didn't see was Dead Rising, Kirby and Blazing Angels.
 
Sorry this is a very specific post, but just in case you're in the neighborhood:

Green Bay Goodwill (east side) has 1 Target-returned Wiimote (with glove, I assume) for $14.99. Found it at the bottom of a general-electronics floor bin, to the right of the emergency exit in the back of the building, and left it there.
 
Anyone try to hit TRU today for the Xbox Vision pack?

I might give them a try tomorrow morning... can always use a cheaper year of Live.
 
if anybody is looking the walmart on servite road in milw has tales of the abyss in stock for $20. i picked one up and i think there were 2 more left.
