Half-Life 2: Episode One $14.99 @ Target

[KeithP]

Hope this isn't a repost, I did a search and didn't see anything.

While shopping at Target tonight I noticed they had HL2:EP 1 on sale for $14.99. Seemed like a good price. Although I made the mistake of not checking to see how long that price will last.

They also had a good price on the Band of Brothers DVD set, $49.99.

Good price for both items.

Just fyi, I heard starting June 10th or so, Circuitcity will have EP1 for $7.99 or something.

I got my ep:1 this way

 

[TrixAreForKids]

Everyone should watch Band of Brothers. Great series.

promo, or something?

Dang, and here I thought I was getting a discount by pre-ordering it from steam at $18 instead of $20.

Guess I shoulda waited.

BTW, Band of Brothers is GREAT STUFF!

Is this the same thing?

It's also $20 at Best Buy, labeled Episode One. Do you know if this $15 business is the same for all Targets?

 

[unclebud]

band of brothers is $49.99 at best buy and circuit city as well. same deal on sopranos and the wire also (maybe?)
thanks to the original poster and all who posted additional info

It was renamed to just Episode 1, no aftermath (as far as I know). Its in store only pricing though for the $15.
Check the target ad on the website, its in there.

Sweet! Thanks, Devistater! I'm on my way to get a copy!

 

[Devistater]

I'm thinking today is the last day of the sale.

Yep, sure did! Been working though, so I haven't had much time to play it, but I like the HDR and the gameplay feels the same. I'm glad they didn't change much - HL2 is one of those games you do not want to end!

Where do you find an ad for the future like that?

yeah...and its kinda stupid that BB and CC dont put their ads for the coming week up on saturday.

 

[codeyf]

It's been posted on FW and SlickDeals in their forums that it will be $7.99 in tomorrows CC ad.

Maybe because the calendar week starts on Sunday?

wouldnt it make sense to get the ad out a little bit earlier than when the prices go into effect.

No.. the average consumer would be too confused. They'd walk into the store trying to buy something on a Saturday only to be told the deal isn't good until Sunday. It's easier to put it in the Sunday morning newspaper and be done with it.

 

[Devistater]

Don't forget how the stores have sued before to get info from the ads thats been posted early, taken down. Anandtech has even taken down some sales information when threatened.

They do NOT like the stuff getting out early.
