I will help clear this up. I went to my local BB and had the clerk (who was not aware) check the system. All the information reported is accurate. The issue is that all the stores in the MA/RI district discontinued these titles long ago and have none (very rare exception on the titles I spot checked). The stores have Oblivion, but the special price only applies to the CE. Must be why it was not advertised in this area - there is no stock.

Lame, there were none of these games in the store :(

Oh well, thanks for the heads up anyway. I ended up buying Crackdown so it looks like their evil plan worked if this was really a marketing scheme ;)

I went to Best Buy. They did not have a single title that I wanted to purchase. I wanted NBA 2K6, Oblivion, and Quake 4... they had none of these games in stock. They had over 50 oblivions but none were collectors editions. The Best Buy employee said that he only found out about the clearence when he came in that morning. This is not False as #19 states. He has bad information. The sale is real finding the games is the trick. This is just a lame attempt of best buy to get people through the door. It worked on me. I bought a ipod.

My brother works at Best Buy so I called him to check the 360 games and he said the only game that they received was Final Fantasy XI for the sale.

Urban Legend kids, no such deals at BB on these games......you've been duped!!!

I went to look for Full Auto and Oblvion:CE, but the Best Buy in Dedham, MA had none of those games even available. I would say, don't bother trying. It seems that these are all games they don't carry anymore.

"According to a post on IGN's forums"...


soo...
Check it out guys! Best Buy is selling Gears of War for $30, has Alien Hominid HD in disc form, which also comes with Worms!

It was probably just that dumb kids store, and they're probably not CLEARANCE, but USED games, since Best Buy is toying around with selling used stuff now.


I would have liked to get Oblivion for $10 and Kong for $2 though.

Well... I missed out on all the games.

But I did get three wii systems. So all in all a good outing.

This was real. I went to 2 different best buys, one had all the clearance games with the other games. They had PSP, DS and several other games for 1.99 along with the 360 (Most were sold out already for all systems)and the other store had pulled them all from the shelves and put them in one location.

They did have full auto but I missed out on that for my brother.

I did find out one guy bought them all right before me.

I was just at the same BB and the guy also had no idea what I was talking about.

Would've been nice to pick up quake 4.

My local Best Buy did have two of the games, which I picked up for the prices above, so the deal is valid. Btw, I'm in Northern California.

I found NHL 2K6 and Tony Hawk American Wasteland.

All the other games were out of stock.

Also, NHL was labeled as selling for full price at the 360 section, and it wasn't until I double checked that I was able to confirm the markdown to $4.99

Grant, if that was to me i apollogize and stand corrected.
it didn't work on me in the manner they had hoped then, as i walked right back out as empty handed as when i came in. I went in with an agenda and without my BB card, so i was planning to only get these titles had they indeed been there at these prices.

Just got back.

They only had one game on the list.
Hockey.

The clerk told me thats all they had.

so I as I was leaving guess who I saw at the check out with a stack of games that wernt even on the shelf?

This article is true. I stopped by my local Best Buy this morning and none of the games were left but supposedly they had a line outside and only the early birds got the deals.

No dice in Minnesota. They had no games for 360 on sale whatsoever, let alone any other console. They had Batwoman. Whoopee.
