If they were honoring sale prices you got lucky. There was a tag on the shelf for an item I was buying that was on sale and they gave me a hard time and had me wait 15 minutes to get approval on a $5 discount! my local store had 10%, 20% and 30% off depending on what you were buying. I tend to get DVD's and CD at Target and they're a lot cheaper. Video game stuff is generally the same price everywhere so I figured I might as well get it there.

I went in on Saturday and the "sale" prices were higher than the prices were at Christmas, on televisions anyway.
I'm sure the sale prices may vary from state to state.
My husband is there checking to see if they've lowered prices since Saturday as we speak. I'll let you guys know if there's been a significant price drop.
