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
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
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.
