Circuit City stores closing? Discounts on games and more!

November 05, 2008 in Rumor comments 10

Remember that article about Sony trucks literally turn around to stop circuit city shipments?
Well as we already know Circuit City was already in bad times, trying to stay alive. Now it seems they're closing 155 of their stores.
So what does this mean to you? Well obviously it means discounts on games and TV's and the like. Check your Circuit City stores near you to see if they're having a store sale, perhaps you can get some new games for cheaper or any other games for that matter.

As we've reported Circuit City, deep in a rut and fighting to stay alive, is closing 155 of their stores. What's that mean to you? Video game discounts of course, if there's a closing store near you.

A Circuit City employee sent in an email last night to tell us she spent yesterday at her store running around slapping discount signs on everything. She also happened to handle all of the discount signage for the video game department. Here's the of discounts for today:

Systems (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP) and their respective games - 5% off
All game accessories (controllers, batteries, cases, Xbox Live memberships, etc) - 10% off "Social" games (aka Rockband and Guitar Hero) - 10% off PC Games - 10% off Strategy guides and cheat books - 20% off

    Are only the ones which are in America closing? I'm pretty sure we have them up here, but from the layout they have, using states and zip codes, that looks to be the focus of the cutbacks...

    I'm actually kind of disappointed that the Circuit City near my house isn't closing.

    I was looking for into picking up a Quick Charge kit and some Microsoft Points at a lower price.

    Damn man, I can't believe we don't have a Circuit City. Looks like we pretty much will never get one now.

    Any word on is it just game purchases? This may be a time to pick up another LCD screen!

    Phew, the one near me isn't closing. I love Circuit City. No one shops there because there's a Best Buy just down the road, but they have some awesome deals in there.

    I wish the Circuit City jokers never bought out Radio Shack.

      You know, they could read the source if they want to know.

      Anyway mods change this article to true. I just went to my local Circuit City and they were having a big sale and pretty much stated everything on sale. So its not longer a rumor. Thanks.
      I also bought a game I wanted.

      Probably more they didn't list. 155 stores closing. Also to answer your question like I said above, I just came back from their with a game, newer gamer which was cheaper. And everything in the store was on sale. So perhaps this is a good time for another LCD screen.
