PS3 Bargains at Target
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
My Target just teases these prices.
For instance, The Orange Box PS3 is marked clearance but for $41.98, not $29 that 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.

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
I went to several Targets in my area in search of Ultimate Alliance - no luck. In addition to coming across some of the titles listed above, I also found Motorstorm for $29.99, EA's NCAA Basketball and Football 2008, for $19.99 each. Motorstorm is a great game, IMHO. However, it has horrible load times.

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
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.

I checked the Target close to me and that was the price, although it was the second clearance sticker so maybe the third one will be at $30.

Re: PS3 Bargains at Target
Found a PS3 wireless controller for 12.98 and a wired version for the Xbox360 for 9.98, not too bad. Granted they are not OEM but still. Some HDMI Xbox360cable selling for 9.98. Beats out those 40.00 cables or so.
Still looking for bargains at various Targets.

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?
