What are they making up?

I've seen most of these at my local for these prices too.

Picked up Riddick as well for $14.98. Haven't played it yet.
I was tempted by Ninja Blade for $9.98, but wasn't sure how it would be.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

Riddick finally dropped to $14.98 at my store, so I grabbed it. Also snagged 50 Cent BotS for the same price and Motorstorm Pacific Rift for $29.98. The 50 Cent game is pretty fun. Kind of a poor man's Gears, but with a plot revolving around Fiddy getting his bling back.

Riddick was marked at $30, but scanned for $14.98, so I picked it up. If you see a game marked for a lot higher price than most people are reporting, scan it and see if the price in the computer is lower.

Cool, I thought it was only the 360 version. I'm in IL as well, so I'll be checking this out later. Thanks for the heads up.

Update: No luck. Stopped by 2 different Targets and both stores had it priced at $27.98 (I scanned just to be sure).

Nice price on Lego IJ. I may have to pick that one up for my kid if I can find one.

Went in today and picked up Riddick for $13.98 and Patapon 2 for $13.98. Homewood Il.

And I also saw Bionic Commando for $45. So I'm sure there'll be a price drop eventually on that one as well.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

Checked Target at lunch and they had a lot of games in the clearance section. Most of them were at 30% though. Nothing really interesting.

They also have the GH:WT 2-guitar package, it's 30% right now but according to my calculations it will be $22 when it hits 75%. That guitar is good right?

It's very good, though I find the "touch pad" part useless I think the 2 guitar pack also comes with one Les Paul as seen below:

That's not a bad compromise since you can decide which of the two different instruments you like better. Many prefer the Les Paul.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

I waited on Lips to go down in price from the previous sale of $24 and change. They had plenty in stock for several weeks without much movement, yet a few days later they were gone. Was told that it was pulled out. So waiting may not be as frutiful for some.

Some Walmart stores have the Guitar Hero Dual Guitar set for $55.

Have you not seen the games at the prices we're talking about or not seen clearance sections at all? Because I have a sickness where any time I'm traveling for work and drive by a Target, I run in and check their clearance section and I have yet to see one that doesn't at least have a section. Anyway, if there's something specific you're looking for, I (and presumably others here) would be happy to keep an eye out at local stores and send it to you for the price + $3 for a padded envelope and shipping.

It might even be a good idea for someone to start a Target 'wish list' thread, where people could post what they're looking for and at what price they'd buy it. Everyone could help each other out that way.

Found Madworld today for the same price as well. Hope I can locate a copy of Motorstorm for that price.

Blood on the Sand at any price is a steal.

That's just it. I've seen many of the games listed in various Targets in my area. However, I have NOT seen them at the amazingly low prices some of you are posting. I do admit to only focusing on XBOX games, but I've never seen the end cap clearance games listed under $20. I was still seeing that Riddick game listed for no less than $35+ when some of you were bragging about getting it for a whole helluva lot less.

Re: Target VG Clearance HUGE !!! YMMV

I got Riddick for 14.98 at Target. There is an end cap in every Target I've been to. If you want it I'm sure someone on here can find it for the same low price and help you out.
