This is a your mileage might vary sorta thing but I was in K-Mart last week (which I almost never do but I heard about some deals) and they had Kameo marked as $7.90 and it rang up at $4.90 and Baten Kaitos Origins for around $7. Tonight I went back and they had Prey for 360 marked for $15 and it rang up for $4.90 and Perfect Dark Zero was marked $7 and rang up at $4.90.
Pretty awesome prices for some average to above-average games.

I second that. On Sunday I purchased Kameo for $4.90, Perfect Dark Zero for $4.90, and Amped 3 for $7.00. They still had Prey, Star Trek Legacy, MotoGP 06 and a couple of others but I didn't scan those. I may go back for Prey and to see what the others ring up.

Man, those are some great deals. I was pretty lukewarm on Kameo but it's a steal at that price and I've heard nothing but outstanding things about BKO.

If someone could pick me up a copy of Baten Kaitos Origins for that price for me, I'd be willing to pay them back plus shipping.

Well, my kmart is sketchy as hell and frightens me... but for those prices I might give it a try. Sale prices actually posted anywhere online?
Oh, and if you get what the others scan for I'd be very interested in hearing what they were...

got a good run at the 2nd store i went to. grabbed kameo, pdz for $5, just cause for 8 and st: legacy for 7. if you go, you should also check the ps2 section. i grabbed a copy of rogue galaxy for 7 as well.
there was some oddness though. the copy of gun, marked with a yellow tag at 20 rang up at 40. i laughed and took my 5 games for $35 (after tax) home.
no clearance gc games whatsoever. they had a few other 360 games marked, topspin 2 i think and something else. they also had a few copies of the ones i grabbed if anyone really wants one. lmk and i'll pick them up for you.

So are these games in a clearance section or marked at all, or do you have to get them to open the cases and scan them to even check what the prices are?

When I went they had 2 large bins with all the games stuffed inside.
Oh and they had Gun for 360 and the sticker said $28 but when I asked the guy to ring it up it showed up as $59. He just mumbled something sheepishly and told me I could have it for $28 if I wanted.

Well, I stopped by my local KMart and they didn't even have a bin. All of the games mentioned that I saw were still in the lock-up case and marked as $39.99 or whatever. I didn't bother to try and track anybody down and get them to open it, though.
If anybody finds a copy of Amped 3 for that clearance price ($5-7) I'd be happy to pay for the game, tax and shipping.

This is exactly how my Kmarts are. Same for our Targets when people post about those great deals. |
