You know, I heard about the clearance at Toys 'R Us and I decided, what the hell, let's go see if it's in-store. It was, for games too. And to my surprise, I found the game I came there to get, Zack and Wiki. I figured, I've heard good things about it, so what was the harm in $10? I decided to look around a bit more, and I found Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria for $19.99. Remembering that I hadn't physically seen it that low ever, and that it was now impossible to find even in the local Gamestops, I decided to pick it up too. $30 for two new-condition games that I at least had interest in certainly wasn't bad either. That and VP2 was the last copy they had from what I could see, so I easily justified my purchase.
I get to the register, and while the guy is ringing up my games, I pull out two $20s from my wallet in preparation for the purchase as I only had three of them on me.
"That'll be $17.xx."
Not wanting to call out this obvious error, I pay with one $20 and walk out with the games in-hand. I check the receipt and apparently both games were like $7.88. A bit of a surprise since both games were marked higher than what I expected to pay, but especially so for VP2 since it wasn't even in the bargain bin or had anything to show it was clearanced. And I got 20% off of both games' clearance price of $9.98 or whatever. Hot damn.
So, I think I'm going to call the store tomorrow and ask if they have any more secret deals like that. =P And yeah, I noticed they had a price checker thing in the store, but I couldn't get it to scan the barcode due to the plastic case they put on all of the games, so I wasn't able to spoil the surprise for myself so to speak.
