.01 guide mark down at Best Buy YMMV

Seen this earlier this morning I guess some were available on BB.com they have had another round of clearance markdowns on strategy guides. Evidently some of these were available this morning but I stopped at a BB on the way to work they only had 1 of the guides in stock. Drove across town after work tonight and scored about 8 of them before coming home, I guess some stores pull these from the shelf so YMMV.

THUG2
Star Wars Battlefront
Crash Twinsanity
Star Ocean
Smackdown vs. Raw
Ratchet and Clank Up your Arsenal
Incredibles
ESPN NBA 2k5
NBA Live 2005
Dead or Alive Ultimate
TMNT 2
Ace Combat 5
Pikman 2

thanks for the heads up. My local store only had NBA 2K5. Let me know if you have an extra R&C UYA, DOA : Ultimate or SW Battlefront, Edison. Gracias.

I didn't see any of those Decker 01. The one I went to last night had all of those price cards up, but were out of Ace Combat 5, Rachet & Clank UYA, DOA Ultimate, and THUG 2.

*Added Pikman 2 to the list above.

My Best Buy never has any of these.

If anyone can pick up an extra Ratchet & Clank, DOA Ultimate and Star Wars Battlefront, I'd appreciate it.

I'll paypal you cost + shipping + a couple extra for the trouble.

My BB had tons of all of these this afternoon, but when I got up front there were like 30 people in line, and I didn't feel like waiting all that time to spend a dime. I'm going back in the morning, so hopefully I'll have a better chance then.

I went to Summerlin, only NBA 2K5. Today I went to Best In The West and picked up DOA (only copy), NBA Live and Incredibles. Still no R&C, though. If you pick up an extra R&C or SW: Battlefront, please let me know.


And thanks to Corky and Edison for checking for me.

KingSmoth, I'd really like that Battlefront one. YGM. Thanks.

BTW: What is TMNT 2? I even looked around BB trying to figure that anagram out without success.

I don't want to push my luck, but if there's a Ratchet & Clank guide still at BB, I would appreciate that as well. Thanks

You're in luck, I found you one.
I also got one for you Vryce.
Seems I got there just in time too - when I left this morning there were 10-20 each of DOA, Battlefront, and Smackdown, and a handful of TMNT2 and THUG2. Tonight, aside from what I picked up(4 R&C, 2 Ace Combat, 1 Smackdown, 1 Paper Mario), there was nothing left of anything on clearance except two THUG2 guides. About two minutes after I grabbed my stuff and walked off, I saw five different people descend upon the guide section looking through the racks and the four big bins, but walk off empty handed.
It sure would be sweet if down the line they put the Jak 3, MGS 3 and RE 4 guides on clearance.


I now have left:
1 THUG2
2 DOA
2 Ace Combat
1 R&C

Kingsmooth, I'll take the Ace Combat guide if you have one left.

For anyone else that wants a guide to trade or just pay shipping for, I have:

Ratchet and Clank UYA (3)
Smackdown vs Raw (1)
DOA Ultimate (3)
Pikmin 2 (1)
NCAA Football 2005 (1)
NBA Live 2005 (1)
Star Wars BF (3)
The Incredibles (1)
Crash Twinsanity (1)
Def Jam FFNY (1)
TMNT 2 (1)
ESPN NBA 2k5 (1)

just let me know.....

Oh, and my Best Buy had tons of Crash Twinsanity, Smackdown vs Raw, Star Wars BF, DOA, and Def Jam FFNY guides, so I may be able to get more.
