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

Looks like KB Toys is going the way of Sega... -ohbfrank-

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

From www.cheapassgamer.com

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

anyone wanna pick me up a copy of Nascar Thunder 2004: 19.99 (XBOX)? :)

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. :D

DVDKrayzie 12-18-03 02:57 PM

I woulda called back and asked again

Outlaw 12-18-03 03:18 PM

funny how quickly everyone changed their tune as soon as they found out about the discounted games :)

I've got a question, does this apply to console systems too or just games?

Draven 12-18-03 04:14 PM

I shoulda.

We should bombard the store wtih inquiries.

Galanthas 12-18-03 04:23 PM

I was interested in Ico,Shinobi and Contra. Only one KB is closing near me. None of the KB's near me had Shinobi or Contra and only 2 KB's had one copy each of Ico priced at 24.99 and 12.49(closing KB) without tax. I wasn't about to wait until Saturday to save 2 bucks or so on it, considering the chances were high it would be gone so I rushed and got it for 13.24 after taxes.

Popped in Ico a few minutes ago and I forgot how friggin annoying CD based(blue bottom) PS2 games are with the loudness and I forgot how friggin beautiful the game is.

I need to find Shinobi,Contra(getting next month) and Fatal Frame new for PS2 and I'll be a happy camper for some time. I waited and waited on biting the bullet to purchase these and now they are hard to find new. I've had especially bad luck missing out on all the deals for Shinobi heh.

They had a few copies of Conkers Bad Fur Day there to, I'm thinking of calling up there to find out the price, forgot to ask while I was there.

mrglass 12-20-03 09:42 AM

I got Aliens Vs Predator, Dynasty Warriors 4, and Indiana Jones for about $47 total. I really wanted the new Dungeons and Dragons game, but the guy in front of me snagged the only copy. He ended up dropping $430 on all of the games that he bought.

flashburn 12-20-03 09:48 AM

Picked up PN 0.3. and Boktai for under $35, not bad. I was hoping for Otogi but they didn't have any.

Breakfast with Girls 12-20-03 11:34 AM

Picked up their only copy of F-Zero GX for the ridiculously low price of $19.99. They didn't have in stock anything else I had my eye on.

They actually hadn't even started pricing them down yet when I got there, but they gave me the sale price sheet. It includes many more games than are listed above (a ton of GBA games, but most for $14.99), including Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance for $9.99 each. I wanted to pick up HOD but they didn't have any copies.

Lastblade 12-20-03 01:05 PM

I got Otogi, Dark Cloud 2, Clock Tower 3 and Amplitude for under $50. Not bad!

illennium 12-20-03 01:41 PM

They didn't have most of the games I wanted. I only got Amplitude and Silent Hill 3. It was an okay deal.

flashburn 12-20-03 01:58 PM

Would anyone be able to pick me up a copy of Otogi, Xenosaga, + Mark of Kri? It would be greatly appreciated as my store was out of stock on those titles. I can pay via paypal. My email is [email protected] or you can AIM me at flashburn2012 .

Thanks

Quake1028 12-20-03 02:53 PM

I got F-Zero GX for $20. I'm going to have to call back about Harmony of Dissonance for $10 though. My store did have those but they were not marked down.

pOpus 12-20-03 04:30 PM

The store in Columbus, GA, is one of the 400... I got the last copy of Otogi, but otherwise, they seemed to be in good supply on the others.

I didn't see Harmony of Dissonance, which is the only game on the list that I wanted that I didn't get.

dancinns 12-20-03 04:50 PM

Could someone be an angel and pick these up for me?
Xenosaga, ICO, Amplitude

Jtnguyen12 12-20-03 06:24 PM
