Re: Blockbuster Video Game Clearance YMMV
Yep there are a lot more listed in the Blockbuster thread on Cheapassgamer, although it doesn't look like anyone has the complete list yet for the most recent drops.
I picked up
Wario Land: Shake It for $20
de Blob for $20
It's a good way to use up any Blockbuster store credit or gift cards since the rumor is they might not last much longer.

Picked up PS3 Assassins Creed new for $10. Never played it but for that price I couldn't resist.

Like Jamezuva said, it shouldn't be YMMV. The clearance has been going on since November and they're just doing a new round of mark-downs. Looks like I'm going to finally have to bite on de Blob, as it was previously $35 and I was hoping it'd drop further.

Re: Blockbuster Video Game Clearance YMMV
To amend my previous statement, this is a pretty big update to the previous clearance. Stopped by the store by my office on lunch and they had a bunch of signs up saying every new game was on clearance. The newest titles, like RE5 and SFIV, were just $10 off, but there were some really great deals on stuff that's a little bit older. There were $5, $10, $15, $20 and $25 bins. There were probably about 40-50 titles in each bin, but the one I remember seeing that haven't been mentioned were:
Wii
Samba de Amigo - $10
Ghost Squad - $10
Lego Indiana Jones - $15
Mario Party 8 - $25
DS
The World Ends With You - $15
Contra 4 - $5
360
Prey - $5
Fracture - $10
Dead Space - $25
Mercenaries 2 - $15
Civilization Revolution - $20
PS3
Dead Space - $25
Heavenly Sword - $15
Guitar Hero WT (game only) - $25
Ratchet & Clank - $20
Uncharted - $20
Civilization Revolution - $15
Metal Gear Solid 4 - $25
PSP
God of War - $15

Are these previous rentals or new games?

I just picked up Bioshock (PS3) and De Blob (Wii) for $19.99 each, both brand new. All of these games are totally brand new, sealed, not used. Here is the complete list from CAG:

Picked up a copy of the Perfect Dark Zero CE for $10. Never played it before but I figured I couldn't go wrong for a sawbuck. I notice it is not on the "complete list" from CAG. Also on that list they have Vikingfor 360 as $27.99, but it was $14.99 at the store I went to today.
And i'm damn sure going to be hitting every Blockbuster I can find looking for Uncharted.

Re: Blockbuster Video Game Clearance YMMV
Went to one of my local Blockbusters at lunch and Fallout 3 for PS3 was in the clearance section, but had a $49.99 sticker on it (over the old $59.99 sticker). I had the clerk check the price in the computer, and it was $49.99. Any explanation for why this is different from the list(s) above?

I have no clue other than to just give them a call and ask.
These prices should be universal unless your store is a franchise location though.

Can anyone here that's played Army of Two recommend it?

Re: Blockbuster Video Game Clearance YMMV
So I just grabbed it at Amazon for $39.98. And yes, it's actually cheaper that way minus the sales tax.
Sorry Blockbuster.
