At least then the games were in order. Here they seem to be randomly thrown together and definitely not in any order. It is even more fun since many of the display copies are left dangling by kids. Then of course there is now the matter of finding the actual game you want since the display is there but nothing behind it matched.

Let's be honest here. Who buys anything but clearance games from Target anyway?

Yeah I could see how that would be a problem. Sounds like the store team needs to get their act together.

Not a clearance, but Target had Split/Second for $37 yesterday. They also had some excellent deals on Blu-Ray titles that are pretty new... I picked up 2012 for $12.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

Ever since my local Target changed the design at the vg section, their clearance games have sucked. Every time i go they only have one or two games and are usually wii crap for kids

Mine too. The most stupid thing is that in my store they have kept some of these clearance games in the new small cages behind games that are not discounted.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

Mine is the same story. Mostly DS and PSP games now, with an occasional Wii game thrown in. I have a DS and a Wii but the games are usually just kids titles so nothing of interest for me. Every once in a great while I'll see a 360 game but its usually just something crappy. Sucks I used to get a lot of great stuff from this section.

Hehe...for me, each time I go to Target, I hit the clearance isle for the video games. I think my last purchase was Final Fantasy Dissidia for the PSP for $14.99. Wanted to wait another week for a 9.98 drop but I figured they probably would be sold out by then.

But I've purchased a good number of games from the Target clearances.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

It's been so long since my Target had anything even halfway decent in the clearance stuff. It's gotten so bad that yesterday I actually took a glance at the the price of only 360 clearance game they had, even though it was Alone In The Dark!

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

Target clearance has majorly dried up in the last couple months for the few stores I frequent. Only thing I've seen lately is some Spongebob game for 360.
