Discountoid: Valkyria Chronicles, Brothers in Arms, other cheap crap! photo
     Discountoid

He's gonna love her 'till the money comes.

And speaking of the money coming, it's time once again to collect this week's gaming deals in Discountoid. Valkyria Chronicles is seeing a nice little price reduction at Circuit City this week. And while you're there, check and see if your location is one of the 155 stores the retailer plans to close by year's end. Word has it that they have already started clearance pricing merchandise and games are reported to be 10% off.

Best Buy and Gamestop have slashed prices on Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway with a $30 reduction. And, if you're that one guy who planned to pre-order Left 4 Dead but haven't yet, Fry's Electronics will take a good chunk out of the price for you if you frequent their fine establishment to do so.

More deals follow the jump.

Valkyria Chronicles is pure quality.
It dumps on Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, and Fable 2. It's the only game worth playing atm, and You people need to buy it so I can have a sequel. >=(

"only game worth playing atm, "
Wait, what did you have to do for the game?

Kidding aside it[VC] is a great game. A little distracted by GoW2 and L4D demo right now though..

Be careful of the Circuit City closeout sales, you're probably much safer buying more complex items somewhere else for equal or lesser prices.

I'm guessing, from the weird way they're worded, that those are the crappy Logitech wireless PS2 controllers instead of the well-made quality licensed Logitech wireless controllers. Oh well.

In a failed attempt to get valkryia chronicles from my local circuit city as they were sold out, Amazon is actually selling it for 49.99 which is still $10 off.

Thanks Conrad! Looks like I'm waiting until Wednesday when they get a new shipment in to get my copy of Valyria Chronicles.

I'd go for the DS game sale at CC, but I'm already spending over $100 on games this week with Tales of Symphonia 2 and Eternal Poison, so no go. I mean, I won't even be able to afford Mirror's Edge, so I'm hardly going to plunk anything down for Spectrobes and Kirby, even if I really want to.

I live near one of the circuit citys that are closing down and their sales are "up to 20%"

However, when I went in there towards the game section they only had the games for sale 5% off, not 10%

The Circuit City pricing is bound to be variable depending on region and other factors. I have confirmation that stores in my area have been slashing them as much as 10%.

As always, call ahead and caveat emptor.

Regarding Valryria Chronicles though, if you try to search for it on the Circuit City site, it doesn't exist. The sales associate I talked to thinks maybe it will come in with the new releases on tuesday.

I'm going to wait and see what happens and if not get it on Amazon.

Hell's Highway should be well worth it if you liked the demo.

i cant find valkyria chronicles on the circuit city site at all o_0 not under the search or going to ps3 games and looking at teh v secontion wtf :|

Yeah, the game isn't on the site, when I went to the store the guy punched it into the computer and nothing came up, he then checked inventory stock and got a big fat 0, another location I happened to be by later tonight didn't have it either. It was listed in the computer as a discounted price so I don't know if people knew about it and snatched it up (I live in queens, ny) or if they just...never got it in the first place.

My copy of MGS4 is sad and alone.

i know Circuit City is going crazy with the gift cards, but i find it hard to believe they're offering a $25 card for CoD:WaW. CAG has it listed as a $10 gift card...

@kawitchate: Thank you for noticing the CoD gift card thing. It was a typo. A very strange, incredibly unlikely one at that. I'm chalking it up to lack of sleep and a short time window for posting. My apologies.

CoD:WaW at toys r us nets you a $15 gift certificate this week. Better deal than Circuit City. My local CC is closing and the other ones nearby only carried like 5 copies of GOW2 when that got released.
