I hate you all. Target is BASED here and I never see anything this good. And I look constantly at multiple Targets.

They're not national prices. What you'll find varies from store to store. You have to look for stuff on a clearance endcap in the electronics section. Stuff there should have red clearance tags on them.

Join the club, I look at these things all the time and I see one once in a blue moon (like the Fallout PC one I found). All my Target is guilty of is giving less and less space to 360 games. That's the biggest problem, PS3 and Wii run king at my locations, if I see something in the clearance endcap, it is almost always one of those systems instead. The best thing I saw at an endcap this week for 360, Dark Void for $13.98. And I want nothing to do with that sucker.

Mine still has like 10 copies of that In the Movies game/camera (360) for $5 and a couple more copies of Tekken 6 (360) for $10. Really wish I would have waited on Tekken since I haven't even opened my copy yet.

There were three copies of this at the Target here in town marked at 40 a few wks ago. For $13, I might have to pick it up, if it's still there.

That's about $5.00 too much for that Star Wars game.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

I must be desperate. I ended up buying "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" for $5 today. The Target clearance section has gone to shit ever since they made over the electronics dept. Worst. Decision. Ever. (for gamers )

I did the same thing today. I bought "Are you smarter" for 5 bucks. I agree on the clearance section sucking since the makeover.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

I still find decent clearance deals with the new electronics section, the key is knowing where to look. Some stores aren't putting them on an endcap anymore. I've seen stores who just mark down the games and leave them in the regular display (so you have to go thru the games looking for red tags), and I've seen other stores who put clearance games in a pile on the bottom shelf in one of the game aisles.

Mine had a half dozen copies of Burnout Revenge for $14 and I walked through the store with it and ended up putting it back. I'll stick with Split/Second.

You should pick it up if you like the Burnout series. I still go back and beat a few levels here and there but the game seems like it never ends. I think I'm around 9hrs into it and only 50% complete. I still think it's one of the best racing games on the 360, next to Forza.

I 100% agree. I do the same thing with Burnout Revenge. Every six months I try to play a little more of it. Usually get through a few and then put it back down. It's a great game. I don't even remember what i paid for it (it was one of the first games I got with my 360), but totally worth it.

My Target clearance still doesn't have much. As the others are mentioning, yeah there was a copy of Smarter 5th Grader but for about $10 in clearance. I'd probably buy it for $5 too though *sigh*. The only other 360 on clearance was Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for $13.98. Nothing worth mentioning for Wii (except the usual Tiger Woods Golf 10 for $20.98 (again, another one I would buy at $5 but not a penny more). There was a lot of stuff for DS, but since I don't own one *shrug*.

InFamous - 14.98

Anyone else ever try this? I've actually been keeping my eye on this one for several weeks, and it was 20.48 for a while now, but I didn't want to bite for that price. Last week when I went, there was only one copy left and it was still 20.48, so in an effort to ensure it wouldn't disappear before it was marked down again, I took it to another aisle and hid it behind some boxes of diapers. This week, I found it exactly where I left it, and of course the sticker hadn't been changed, but it scanned 5 bucks cheaper. SCORE!

I'm not passing judgement, but this is generally frowned upon around here.
