Hey gang,
I've been noticing a lot of PS3 titles with red clearance price stickers over the past week or so, including:
- Half-Life 2 Orange Box $30
- Marvel: Ultimate Alliance $15
- MLB '07: The Show $10 (FYI, this is an excellent game and will automatically update itself to the latest rosters when you go online)
- The Simpsons $35 (not a great deal, but once that red sticker shows up on the box it's only a matter of time)
- Various crappy '07 and '08 sports titles very cheap
- Lair (I think it was $20 or $25 but I hear it's lame so I didn't pay much attention)
They often have XBox 360 titles on clearance, but the PS3 stuff is new. One of the Targets near me occasionally has a copy of
Glory Road on BD for $7.50, but that's the only BD title I've seen on clearance so far. Note that Target clearance items vary from store to store -- the items on the above list were scattered amongst a couple of different stores. Unless you want to go there anyway, call ahead and ask if they have a particular title (and if it's on sale).
Happy hunting!

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
I keep getting alerts from CAG that Target is closing out these games but my local store never honors the prices others are finding =(

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
It takes time for certain Target stores to begin clearancing and not all stores within a given area clearance items at the same time or at the same price. I had to really look hard to find Folklore recently because some stores had to at full retail ($60) while others had it for $15.

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
January is usually the best time for Target clearance sales -- now that PS3 games are in the mix, I expect January '09 to be a Happy Time.

On a related note, I've seen Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights marked down in a few places. The cheapest was $20 at the local Toys R Us, but I don't know if that was a permanent markdown or just a temporary sale.

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
Original Equipment Manufacturer (i.e., the controllers he saw were third-party products).
Germain, was the wireless PS3 controller that you saw USB-rechargeable or battery-powered?

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
Unfortunately they only sell the Dolphins controllers around here. Maybe I'll ask my parents to check their area for the Pats version. Do those football controllers use Bluetooth or do they come with a USB dongle?
I have a third-party wireless (USB dongle) PS3 controller (I think it's either MadCatz or the GameStop store brand) that uses AA batteries. I put rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops in it and they work great. (They're a little on the expensive side, but they are great batteries -- I got a set at Costco pretty reasonably.)

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
BTW, I also snagged one of those N-Power media players on clearance for $20 that someone mentioned in another thread. Looks like a pretty nice unit for that price (1 GB of memory; accepts SD/ MMC cards, plays music, video, image files, and java games), even though the choices were Naked Brothers Band or Spongebob.
