If you didn't hit up Best Buy's
web site at some insane hour this morning, you may have missed some of the best video-game clearance deals of the
summer.
As it stands, most of the $0.99, $4.99, and $9.99 games put on the clearance list by the suits at BB are already sold
out online, but you may still be able to find some cheap titles at your local store on your lunch break today if you're
lucky (and if you don't live in the vicinity of eBay/trade-in hoarders). Register for a free CAG account and check out
the game list and FAQ here (if it hasn't been
copied elsewhere) for further details. Just don't expect any new releases, okay? (It's a clearance, y'know.)
Of course, we're forced to wonder whether we'll actually find dollar games like
Excitebike
Classic,
Rocky,
or
Yager
still in stock somewhere or not. At any rate, post your finds if you're lucky, or feel free to reminisce about deals
gone by in our handy comments section below. <bragging>Finding a $5 copy of
Disgaea at Circuit City… now that was classic!</bragging> But why
did they have to "raise" the price of
Astro
Boy for the GBA from $5 to $10? (Don't worry, Best-Buy haters: I think I know the an$wer.)
[UPDATE: Some price "changes" from $1 or $5 to $10 may be due to the fact that the new clearance prices are not in the
store systems yet. Make sure to ask about this if you find a game that you're really interested in.]
