Best Buy is about to start clearing out a ton of video game shelf space, if this post on the CheapAssGamer forums is to be believed. A poster claiming to be a Best Buy employee says that starting this Sunday the 26th, Best Buy stores will mark all of the following games down to $9.99. The thread hasn't reached a consensus about whether or not this will extend to BestBuy.com, so your best bet may be to get there at opening time on Sunday if you want to dip into these deals.

Plenty of kid-friendly and licensed movie games on this list, of course, but if this all comes to pass, I may have to finally take the plunge on Too Human. It's hard to pass up even a middling game at 10 bucks. What strikes you on this list?

Good lookin' reppin' Cheap Ass Gamer!

Goddamnit! I'm really regretting my decision to not spend money on games this month so I could pay for my medicall bills/mortgage. Cause I would totally get Pure, Infinite Undiscovery, Soul Calibur 4, Turok, Condemned 2, Operation Darkness, and Samba de Amigo for $10. Maybe not all at once, but even so that'd only be $20 more than buying ONE game. I might have to scrounge up $20 and at least get a couple.
Teirdomeon April 23, 2009 at 10:09 a.m.
Wow.... I'll probably pick up at least 6 titles if this is true.
agentboolenon April 23, 2009 at 10:09 a.m.
Wow there is some good stuff on that list, I hate rushing in on a Sunday though!!!  But yea looks good hope this goes down.
Magnus_Bullaon April 23, 2009 at 10:09 a.m.
Considering I almost bought Too Human at full price, luckily my judgment proved more reliable, I'll probably pick it up at $10. That is, of course, assuming the sale extends as far as Canada, which it totally won't.
Lukeon April 23, 2009 at 10:10 a.m.
I will be at BB this Sunday!

Especially to pick-up a few more copies of Petz Crazy Monkeys... you can never have enough copies of this "game" laying around!!! :p
Torrimon April 23, 2009 at 10:10 a.m.
An excuse to pick up Too Human!
Jeffsekaion April 23, 2009 at 10:12 a.m.
 I wish this was in Canada
needforswedeon April 23, 2009 at 10:15 a.m.
Devil May Cry 4, and Soul Calibur 4 because I sold it and sometimes regret it.  Maybe Pure too.
Vigorousjammeron April 23, 2009 at 10:16 a.m.
I may be the proud new owner of Alone in the Dark, Bourne Conspiracy, Infinite Undiscovery, Operation Darkness, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Turok...

Providing this rumor is true, of course...
Alphazeroon April 23, 2009 at 10:17 a.m.
I did buy Too Human at full price, and it's plenty fun. Heck, I'd recommend it at $20 even.


TooWalruson April 23, 2009 at 10:18 a.m.
I can't believe that I payed full price for Soul Calibur IV, ha, LAME!
TekZeroon April 23, 2009 at 10:21 a.m.
Cool, more people to play Too Human with.

Also, $10 for Infinite Undiscovery sounds like a good deal.
Junpeion April 23, 2009 at 10:21 a.m.
Hmm, I was interested til I looked at the list only to see a lot of them have been down that low where I work already. Any of the ones I deemed worth getting I already got that cheap or a bit more expecsive ($5-$10 more). But hey, savings for everyone.
LiveOrDie1212on April 23, 2009 at 10:23 a.m.
too bad all the games listed for ps3 are not in my interest.  but, what the heck, i'll prob go check it out at BB this sunday.
Mawrykon April 23, 2009 at 10:23 a.m.
No love for the PC?  Surprise, surprise.  Good thing we have steam
Subject2Changeon April 23, 2009 at 10:29 a.m.
Gah 360 has better titles...Homecoming would be nice for 10 bucks on the PS3...however may get Jericho and Bourne for the PS3.
