Well? At first that never cross my mind. Heck, I thought that Sears went out of business. But then awhile ago, one of my younger cousins were playing Astro Boy:Omega Factor for the GBA which I heard was hard to get. I asked him where did he get it and he said Sears and it was on sale. Sears, I didn't think they sold video games. Sure enough I went to Sears today and I scored the last copy of Astro Boy for $7.97! Sweet!
Also, I manage to pick up Pikmin 2 also $7.97 and Crimson Skies for $3.95. Excellent!
I was tempted to purchase Baten Kaitos for $9.99, but I already have a huge backlog of console RPGs that need to be finished and a few that are unopened. Pack and Roll was also $9.99, but I'm not sure if it is worth it or not.
Well? C&C?

Sears STILL has video games? I know that's where I got my Genesis and my copy of Sonic 2 back in 1994, but today, none of this stuff seems available anymore at my sears.

They have some decent clearence despiration prices and the tendancy of their abused staff to fail placing sale signs correctly are both reasons to buy from them. But I'm bitter and resentful, so meh.
It's hilarious how out of date most of the titles they usually carry are. Granted they're obligated to carry 360 games, but that's the newest stuff they tend to get.

Sears has great random specials and bargains, but often don't mark down the basic prices of games. So it's remarkably hit-and-miss.
They're also about the only place anymore that'll honor a game price they goof up in the advertisement. And there's been at least two, maybe three major mistakes. (One was advertising Ace Combat 5 for $5 when it should've been AC4, and 5 was pretty new, another was an XBL kit I believe. Or was it a 360 Hard Drive...?)

No, it wouldn't've been the HD. However, because some staff are damned morons they will confuse the memory card with the HD and you could get it on the cheap side by making a big deal about it =D.
Their selection is crap, to be sure, but I couldn't say no to $20 Kameo and $10 Blinx 2.

I'm guessing since the company carried entertainment electronics. Like I said, I thought all the Sears have been wiped out by the Circuit Cities, Best Buys, Wal-Marts, and the Targets in this country.

Sears always carried video games here back in the day (Usually way above the MSRP though), don't believe they still sell them here but I haven't gone to Sears in a while (and when I do, it's just cause it's the closest entrance to the mall from where we park, so I don't explore the place)

There's a sears in a mall I go to once in awhile for the game store. Perhaps I should see if they have any games.
My dad used to go to a sears in the city he used to live in from time to time. I remember their game spot. It was...nice.

Ah, I remember Sears and video games. Back in the day when the Dreamcast had just come out, I decied to check out Sonic Adventure. If not for that kiosk, I would likely not be here. (I played Sonic and liked it, but not enough to get into discussions on the foreign, new, 56-kilobits-per second internet. Now, granted, I'd been discussing Pokemon and reading fanfiction sites at the ripe old age of 8, but Sonic was no Pikachu. Chao, on the other hand...)

A Genesis Kiosk is where Sonic 2 wooed it's devilish magic on me.
"But... I've promised myself to Nintendo! You're the BAD console!"
"Shh, now, no one will know..."

Come to think of it.. I think it was a Sears where I first played Sonic 1..
Yeah, I'm pretty sure of it... although, I've slept since then, so I could be mistaken.

I remember playing Super Mario World at a Sears SNES kiosk.
