I guess I'll have to take my $54.99 elsewhere.

Breakfast with Girls · 12-17-03, 01:45 PM

Yeah, that's a real shame.

Draven · 12-17-03, 02:36 PM

Does anyone actually shop at KB?

I remember my friend bought Strider for the Genesis there the day it came out. He paid about $80 dollars for it.

Lastblade · 12-17-03, 02:53 PM

Shame, one less place to rip us off.

balancer · 12-17-03, 02:54 PM

maybe we'll see some good clearance deals from them

rawer · 12-17-03, 04:26 PM

Wow, they account for a whopping 2 percent of industry sales. Looks like the end is coming...

illennium · 12-17-03, 06:12 PM

Yep, it's all over for Nintendo.

cheapskate · 12-17-03, 06:58 PM

I'd call ahead and make sure your local store is one of the 400...

Word on the street is that certain KBtoys stores (400 of its 1300 locations) will no longer be selling games and are going to be clearing them out, starting this Saturday, December 20th.

ClarkKentKY · 12-18-03, 12:07 AM

Some nice deals there! I'll call my store tomorrow and see if they're taking part

dcswirl · 12-18-03, 01:45 AM

Damn!! I don't need to spend the money on the 10+ games I want on that list.

Puzznic · 12-18-03, 05:37 AM

Damn i was getting my hopes up thinking that list was for every store. Kaybee needs to put out a list

Centurion · 12-18-03, 08:41 AM

We can each post back to this thread to keep others posted as to which KB locations are taking part in this clearance.

Kicker_of_Elves · 12-18-03, 08:51 AM

accoring to cheapassgamer some stores are already having the sale, and it seems to be either the list posted above, OR just a straight 20% off across the board

Breakfast with Girls · 12-18-03, 12:07 PM

Well, I just called and my local KB is going to be having Tha Wacky Prices on their games starting Saturday at 9:30. Whee!

Draven · 12-18-03, 12:28 PM

Not happening at either the Mall of America or Burnsville Center here in the Twin Cities.

The snotty Burnsville Center chick says "Did you just call here?" Sounded extremely annoyed.

DVDKrayzie · 12-18-03, 02:57 PM

I woulda called back and asked again
