The holidays are approaching, and it's time to start haunting store shelves if you like that sort of thing. zombie

I haunted Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Gamestop today and the results are below. (The stock in your local stores will vary, but this is something of an indication.)

If you see a recently released adventure in a national chain store that isn't mentioned below, post and let us know where it can be found.

Walmart

Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy
Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships
Legend of Crystal Valley

Best Buy

Casebook Episode 1: Kidnapped
CSI: Deadly Intent
Memento Mori
Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly Academy
Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships
Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper
Still Life 2

Gamestop

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper
Still Life 2
A Vampyre Story
CSI: Deadly Intent

Also, some older games at discounted prices -- Paradise and Outcry, for instance

Target

Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual
Art of Murder: Puppeteer
Memento Mori
A Vampyre Story
Casebook Episode 1: Kidnapped

In jewel case (EDIT: or rather, small cardboard case) form:

Physicus
The Immortals of Terra: A Perry Rhodan Adventure
Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring
Riddle of the Sphinx
The Omega Stone
Safecracker
Journey to the Center of the Earth

The Target Nancy Drew bonanza -- Target has by far the best Nancy Drew selection. They have Warnings at Waverly Academy and Ransom of the Seven Ships, plus several past Nancy Drews in both boxed and small cardboard case form.

Target also has some boxed Nancy Drew games that have 3 games in one box and I believe 4 games in another all are $19.99 each. I have even seen them at times with a price cut for even less. I always check Target games when I'm there because you never know when they will price cut a game.

Oh Canadians

Was at Walmart today. I see Memento Mori on the shelf selling for C$19.99. That seems to be a good price because the list price is $29.99.

Anyone knows which store in Canada selling Legend Of Crystal Valley?

Winfrey -- you're right about Target -- what I think of as jewel cases are really small cardboards casings about the same size as a jewel case.

A jewel case is the clear plastic case.

I just received Ceville from Amazon, it was $9.99, no shipping because I also pre-ordered a DVD.
