Saw it in the Newspaper today
Potentially very hot! Last time they had this special, many clearance games came out really cheap. I got all these for ~$91 + tax total:
STALKER
Rise of Nations (jewel case)
Battlefield 2
GTR
The Movies
Sid Meier's Railroads
Perimeter
Faces of War
Armed and Dangerous
LOTR Battle for Middle Earth
LOTR Battle for Middle Earth II
Battlefield 2142
DNA
Battlefield 1942 Complete Collection
Gothic 3
Darwinia
Call of Juarez
Splinter Cell Double Agent
Star Trek Legacy
Titan Quest
There's a thread at CAG with the old clearance list. It might get updated as people start buying more games today like it was last time.

Battle for Middle Earth 2: Rise of the Witch King is only $2.40!
You're crazy if you don't get it for this price.
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Battlefield-2-Special-Forces-PC-014633149968/sem/rpsm/oid/137977/catOid/-16501/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
BF 2 Special Forces is $9.32.
Stalker and Rainbow Six Vegas are $10! So is Battlefield 2142! Sims 2 Celebration Stuff and Family Fun Stuff are $5!
NWN 2 Mask of the Betrayer - $10.00

I picked up 7 games for ~$47:
Perimeter $4.33 (2nd copy for multiplayer vs my nephew)
The Ship $2.19
IL-2 1946 $10 (all 5 games: IL-2 1946, IL-2 Sturmovik, IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters, Ace Expansion pack)
SimCity 4 Deluxe $10 (w/ Rush Hour expansion)
Sim Mania 3 $7.50 (6 games: SimCopter, SimGolf, SimCity 3000, SimThemePark, SimCoaster, SimSafari)
EA Strategy Collection $2.74 (5 games: B&W 2, B&W 2 Battles of the Gods, LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, C&C Generals, C&C Zero Hour)
Half-Life 2 $10
:D There were plenty of games left that I had picked up last time and didn't want today. I only priced checked 4 games that I wasn't sure about and most were marked down. There are a lot of games that would be $10 or less, including most big box EA collections and all the jewel boxed games.

Battlefield 2 Deluxe is really $4.66? Seems a bit cheap. Grabbed that from the other thread, seems like a crazy low price since it isn't it $19.99 usually? The old thread says it's $4.36 for Special Forces but it's $9 in store?
I'd go for Battlefield 2 Deluxe but I don't want to waste the gas =/ I could see regular Battlefield 2 being $5 since it's only $9.99 usually.

So if you go to a retail store, how can you tell if the game is 50% off?
and is it only the games $19.99 and under?

I ended up getting:
Prey Collectors Edition
Titan Quest Immortal Throne
Stalker
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
36$
When you are at the checkout, many times at CC, the item will ring up with the regular price, despite being advertised for less. Tell them it was advertised for a lower price and they should look it up. I find this happens frequently at CC, so don't be shy to correct them. If they will not relent, then either elevate it or walk away.
update from the CAG thread:
Alien Shooter Vengeance - $2.19
Black & White 2 - Battle of the Gods - $3.00
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - $6.48
City of Heroes: Combined (This has both Heroes and Villians in one package) - $10.00
City of Villians Time Card - $8.98
Company of Heroes (Not the Game of the Year Edition) - $10.00
Deus Ex: Invisible War - $0.25

Ha, I meant $10, which I think still might be too much for the game ;) Was hoping it would have been sub $10, but I bothered the cashier enough for price checks, and I figured if I spent $5 on a probably shitty FPS, $10 for a semi above average one is ok.
I am an FPS whore, though =/

My circuit city is terrible at tagging items and setting up clearance bins so the only game I got was GTR2 for 2.50. Hopefully, these suggestions will help out when I go for a second run tomorrow.

Jericho $8.50
RE:4 $10.00
The Ship $2.19
I also bought Stubbs the Zombie online for $5.48.
edit: score! I found these at the CC close to my home:
FEAR $5

One of the clerks went and hid a copy of Double Agent after it rang up at $2.xx. :P

I came up empty. I tried every version of FEAR that's out there, and all came up at roughly retail. I'll check at Fry's this weekend, when I go to Dallas. Over thanksgiving, I think they had FEAR for around $20 for either the gold or platinum version.
If not, no loss....I've got more games than I have time to play.

Weird, the big list on Cheap Ass Gamer said people have found Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts for $10, as well as FEAR Perseus Mandate.
Overlord is also $8.50 in store, according to the list.
I'm gonna get back to CC bright and early tomorrow morning, because shit, a $10 Opposing Fronts is too good to pass up.

I can confirm Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts. LOL, between this sale and when they ran the same thing a couple of weeks ago, I have like 25 games. Can anyone else confirm the Supreme Commander Forged Alliance @ $10? It was $30 last time I checked it and is currently $30 on their website.

The version of F.E.A.R. I snagged for $5 was the original game, the box was pretty beat up but unopened. I returned the Titan Quest: Immortal Throne game I got for $10, I thought it was the original game but it was the expansion pack. Since I don't have the original the expansion pack is pretty useless.
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance was also an expansion but I think I remember reading that the original game is not required to play? Anyone confirm that?

Wait, COH:OF is on sale!?
I WANTED to get Simcity 4 deluxe when it was in stock this afternoon, but I was waffling between just getting it online(since after checking my local CC I couldn't find it) or pondering if I should get something else to take advantage of the free shipping that would save me 2 dollars. Then I decided to work on my recently transferred case a little, and when I got back they were all gone. :(
Of course it didn't help that nothing seemed to have been marked down at the store.

Maybe at your CC, but me and a friend bought the game at two seperate CC's (only 1 copy at each) and they did not have to look up the game at all, it rang up $10.
I can confirm that Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, and F.E.A.R Perseus Mandate are all ringing up $10.
I think I will make a new thread since these ones are some kind of oddity glitch in CC's registers since they aren't $19.99 and are coming up way more than half off.
I scored 11 games today for $55, including 4 $10 games, so I made out awesome. I will post a haul later.

Yea, it seems word got out because the copies of SupCom FA we found were few and far between, along with CoH OP. Lots and lots of Perseus Mandate though ;)
I know it got average reviews, but for $10 I will take some more Fear action.

All the games have the wrong stickers on them, but they scan correctly. Not one game I picked up or scanned had the correct sticker on it.

LOL. It's not very difficult. Grab a big ass stack of games, take them to the nearest associate, and politely ask them to scan the prices. Of course, this actually requires you to interact with a real person IRL.

The price tags are outdated. IMO, it's worth the trip back for the treasure hunting. You should visit CAG first to get a full list of the known sale prices. Last time I checked it was over 150 titles long, with games priced between $0.42 and $10. About 1/2 the games were $5 or less, with several good titles available.
I'm not going back because i already bought too many games. Between online and the 2 recent 50% off sales, I bought over 30 games. I gave away 5, started playing 2 and am now wondering how I can get through the rest. :p

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts - $10
FEAR: Perseus Mandate - $10
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance - $10
Halo - $10

Battlefield 2 - $5 (I got a CC to sell my the preorder box for MoH Airborne, has BF 2 free inside)
Battlefield 2 Special Forces - $4.66
Battlefield 2 Booster Collection - $3.50
Can't believe CC is dumb enough to drop relatively new expansions to $10, but I'm not complaining. It took a lot of hassle to get CC to sell me the MoH Airborne box, but the end result is worth it, the whole BF 2 Collection for around $12!
My friend scored something like 40 or so games for around $50, he got tons of the $1 and $2 games.

You take them up to the register then and do it there... I had no problem getting a cashier to price check games and I've been to 3 or 4 CC's in the past three days. There is a 99% chance the sales person doesn't know dick about the PC games.
These prices are universal, so even if the tag says $50, it will ring up $10 or whatever the price listed here is. Circuit City never updates the tags on PC games ever, the place is a barren wasteland most of the time.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread and in the link to the other thread. The price tags are outdated. IMO, it's worth the trip back for the treasure hunting. You should visit CAG first to get a full list of the known sale prices. Last time I checked it was over 150 titles long, with games priced between $0.42 and $10. About 1/2 the games were $5 or less, with several good titles available.
I'm not going back because i already bought too many games. Between online and the 2 recent 50% off sales, I bought over 30 games. I gave away 5, started playing 2 and am now wondering how I can get through the rest. :p
Where is the list?

All the games have the wrong stickers on them, but they scan correctly. Not one game I picked up or scanned had the correct sticker on it
That's what I think is happening, I'll have to make a detour there when I get back from my commute tomorrow again.

You realize that none of the circuit city's anywhere have their tags right, don't you? I have piles and piles of games marked $39.99-$49.99 that I paid $2-$10 each for. Why would you expect dumbass minimum wage high school kids to take the initiative and beg you for the privilege of helping you wade through their pricetags? If you want to get in on a deal like this, you need to do some legwork, which generally consists of grabbing a stack of games you know or suspect are on sale and asking (or telling) an employee to scan the prices. I guarantee that whoever you talked to at Circuit City doesn't care at all that you're never shopping there again, whereas now you're resolved to bitching on a message board. So: Circuit City - 1, You - 0. If you care about employees "doing more" and I guess 'going the extra mile' for you, the $4 clearance PC game section at Circuit City probably isn't the best place to shop.

Yeah, but considering it should be like $4 in-store, plus I don't wan to have to pay for shipping.

Would've been nice to score a copy of Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts for $10, but the CC I live by was long since out of all the confirmed sale stuff apart from SC:FA. I guess most of the games will end up going for $20 on eBay...

All the other games I own already, cept for COH:OP which i didn't see on the website.

Each store must be having different sales. Most of the games above $20 are still listed at retail prices even after a price check. Did get BF2142 for $10 thou.

I just came back from my local CC. They had a TON of games left. Like no one knows about the sale. I got Splinter Cell : Double Agent for $2.62 and Fable for $8.
Falling Anvil
02-14-2008, 08:23 PM
Well, I visited again today, they sold out of their copies of Opposing Fronts. :(
I would have missed more, but I was frantically searching for like an hour among the two shelves of game boxes my local CC had. I wouldn't have searched for as long, but just as I was going to resign myself to "only" finding a hidden copy of Simcity 4 deluxe (they said it was out of stock online and off! ) I managed to find their last copy of Supcom FA. I actually had paid for the Simcity so I had to go to the cashier again for FA, though not before also grabbing their last copy of Sin ep 1 out of curiosity for a price check (sticker said $19.99 on the box, rang up as $3.50, go figure). Not too bad of a haul.
Of course I'm still semi-pissed at Circuit City. I got what I originally wanted (Simcity 4 deluxe for 10, and without shipping costs that buying it on their site would cost without filler) and half of what I wanted after reading about the sale on [H], but I managed to miss the game I wanted most! :mad: And I think I held it in my hand too the other day! :mad: :(
Oh well. :)

I had my fingers crossed that the new Painkiller would be discount too, but it wasn't :( Kane & Lynch is already on clearance @ Target, but its still $50 at CC.

Welp I hauled tail to my local CC and found the games stuck in the back corner. They all had the original tags on them so I had a random guy ring up games I was interested in for pricing.
There were alot of good games out there but I ended up taking home STALKER and COH:OF for 10 each. For those that cannot find these games, my local store had a few copies and I am willing to be a middle-man for some of you all. They also had one or two copies of the Supreme Commander game someone mentioned earlier in the thread.
Good Luck!
got sup com fa. going to go check tomorrow at another location for opposing fronts. only game i want really. if only they had world in conflict on sale. that'd be awesome. bwahaha! riiiiight. call of juarez for $5 might be fun to try too.
The Realyst
02-15-2008, 08:13 AM
I'd just like to repeat what I said before..., I GOT FABLE, FOR $8. That is highway robbery for a game like that. If you're lucky enough to find it, pick it up! I see everyone talking about CoH:OF, so I might have to get that. They have at least another 3 copies at my store. I have the original COH already since it came with my video card, but I actually haven't gotten a chance to play it though. I'll swing by there again after work. I'm surprised and how many games my CC has. I might take a trip to another one thats somewhat in the area too. The deals are too good!
Did this deal die or something to get it moved to discussion?

I truly hit the jackpot...
Alien Shooter Vengence - $2.19
Battlefield 1942 : The Complete Collection - $3.50
Company of Heroes : Opposing Forces - $10.00
Darwinia - $1.29
Diablo 2 : LOD - $10.00
Fable - $8.00
Ghost Recon : AW 2 - $10.00
Overlord - $8.50
Shadow Grounds - 3.58
Splinter Cell : Double Agent - $2.62
I even got Word Whomp for $4.00 lol
I was also going to get Supreme Commander : Forged Assault, but the game wouldn't ring up for some reason. And why I say ring, I don't mean at the wrong price. I mean it didn't ring up PERIOD. As if the game didn't belong in the store. I went to two different Circuit City's and had the same problem. So they couldn't sell it to me. Gay!

ack. I found another bag of games i forgot about. After the 5 games I gave away and the couple of games I got in the mail today, I have 36 left. They look so nice on the floor. ;)

The Ship (76/100) $2.35
Titan Quest (77/100) $10
TMNT (55/100) $7.50
edit: I forgot about Stubbs the Zombie (72/100) $5.48 in the office. I guess Star Trek and Eragon are the stinkers out of the bunch (don't go hatin' on TMNT). It's not even worth the effort to return those for $6 back.
:cool: That's about 25% of the games on the big list. I think i'll take some of the junk ones back tomorrow. Under $5 or not, I won't have time to play them all. The rest can serve as stocking stuffers for the little gamers.
I even got Word Whomp for $4.00 lolDo want! :p I'm not going back to CC until this sale is over. Cheap games are too tempting.

Wow, how the hell did you get SC for $15 and C&C First Decade for $5?
I had them scan C&C First Decade when I went Wednesday and it came up at 20 or 25 or something like that, and SC was $29.99 and scanned as such.
I would have definitely grabbed First Decade for $5, but no luck =/
pxc, you should definitely take some of the crappers back and get Opposing Fronts for $10, or one of the two Fear expansions (they aren't bad at a cheap price).

Shadowgrounds
STALKER
Darwinia
Maelstrom
Splinter Cell: DA
Galactic Civilizations I and II
Dialbo II
Soldiers: Heroes of WW2
and one or two others that I cant recall. I am satisfied :)
edit: Went to another CC and found SiN Episodes for $3, and Battlefield 2 for $5. Grabbed both; got a lot of games to catch up on :)

02-16-2008, 08:32 PM
Let's see, final list of what I got:
Galactic Civilizations 1
Galactic Civilizations 2
Diner Dash
Sweet Tooth
Puzzle Quest
Quake 4
Call of Juarez
Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts
FEAR Perseus Mandate
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
Halo
Gothic 3 (hopefully all the new patches made it ok to play)
Stubbs the Zombie
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 Special Forces
Battlefield 2 Booster Pack Collection
One not so happy fiancee when she saw the large stack of games on my desk ;)
I forgot it was Saturday, I was tempted to go for Overlord and Fable too, but oh well.. they will still probably be there the next time this 50% sale comes around.

02-16-2008, 09:01 PM

Counter Strike: Source w/ Day of Defeat: Source - $10
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic- $6.50
Star Wars: Empire at War - $6.50
Empire at War expansion - $9
Dirt - $8.50
Rise of Legends - $9
Splinter Cell: Double Agent - $3.75
Company of Heroes - $10
pxc, you should definitely take some of the crappers back and get Opposing Fronts for $10, or one of the two Fear expansions (they aren't bad at a cheap price).I didn't see the FEAR expansions last time or this time in 2 different stores. And I didn't see Opposing Fronts in either store I went checked. Most of the games I got are fine for the price, although Driv3r is looking pretty bad even for only $3.98. It was a filler to get to $25 online and maybe I should have bought THUG2 instead. :(
Like I said above, I'm not going back to CC until the sale is over. It's too tempting. Tomorrow i'll return a couple of games (or more).
-------
There was a time a couple of years ago when CC did a console clearance with similar discounts. I remember buying a bunch of Xbox games (still have many of them), but I used some of them as trade in credit. There were a couple of games with crazy high trade in credits for a $5 CC game at blockbuster and warehouse. :D

02-16-2008, 09:48 PM
Ugh, kinda wanted to go back and snag Overlord for $8.50, but I'll never make it in the 13 minutes before the store closes lol

If it does, I'd love someone forever if they picked me up one of the 10 buck copies of Mask of the Betrayer. I live 4 hours from the nearest CC.
Oh well, there is always another sale I suppose... pxc you made it sound like this isn't the first time they have done this sale, and it probably won't be the last ;)Twice in one month was unusual. The last big console games clearance was over 3 years ago (2004 IIRC).

Even if the sale was on again this week (it's not), the best games are probably long gone.
