I was in Sears in the Oaks Mall in Gainesville Florida today and saw several great (at least I thought they were) clearance prices on PS3 and XBox 360 games.

NBA 2K was $2.97, Major League Baseball 2K7 was $2.97 and Madden 07 as $2.97. These are just examples and there were others. Most of the games at these prices were last year's games. The prices range from the above mentioned prices to just less than $25.

Did search and did not find previous post on this topic and thought this was worthy of sharing. Even if the games are mediocre, you just can't go wrong at these prices, especially for PS3 and XBox 360 games. If you disagree, just ignore this.

sounds good ...

He's right. Go read the fine print EA puts on all their sports games. Actually it's on all games generally, but with sports games it's just for that year.....and it details their rights to not grant server access anymore when they deem fit. After some period of time like 12 months or something. It's really stupid, I got into it with EA reps about it 2 years ago, and I've only bought one game from them since, Bad Company for the 360, that should be online for a couple years at least. Not going to EVER buy EA sports games b/c of this nice little tactic they use to force you to buy the newest copy of their games every year. Someday people who aren't completely crazy about the newest uniforms/players and NO OTHER changes in the game will realize this and maybe they won't feed the money grubbing, independent developer-eating, publisher absolving giant known as EA, any more cash. That's all just IMHO anyways people, not threadcrapping just a heads up for people looking to buy these and play online -- Sorry for the rant.

These games are actually nearly TWO years old. The 2009 editions are either out or coming very soon.

Very true, I'm buying Tiger Woods '09 the day it comes out. That's the only EA title I endorse. The rest are just more of the same. Augusta course on the 2009 version, I hope so.

I bought a few '07 titles from Kmart for $5 a month or so ago when that deal was active here on FW. The madden '07 is kind of lame, considering in 2 player mode, it lets you see the play the other person is picking... I mean seriously? I think on my old Sega games it would hide the play from the other player... just EA nonsense.

Green for the OP.

thanks, I'll be staying away from EA and I'll make sure everyone else knows about this scam too

I checked out my local Sears in Chicago, and no dice. Everything was normally priced.
