What sweet game deals have you gotten lately?
Thursday, January 6th, 2005 - 8:31pm
I'm not only a sucker for videogames, I'm a sucker for videogame deals. I'd be interested to see what the rest of you have snagged on the cheap side.
Since the beginning of this year:
Xbox Live 12 Month Kit Package
- Headset Included
- 12 Months
- Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
- Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
$79.99 (64.99 US)
Halo Xbox (Extra Copy for the LAN Parties)
$19.99 (15.99 US)
Halo 2 Plantronics Headset
$39.99 (31.99 US)
Pikmin 2
$34.99 (28.99 US)
Viewtiful Joe
$14.99 ($11.99 US)
The last two I just picked up from Blockbuster, they also had Beyond Good and Evil for $14, Breakdown for $9, ESPN NHL 2005 $19.99 - I had to seriously restrain myself from picking up other cheap games.
Mind you, the Plantronics headset was a return deal, thankfully it looked like it was used once as it had very minimal earwax deposits left behind. Eww.
So what specials did you guys snag over the holidays?
I got Brotherhood of Steel for xbox for under 10 bucks. It was a good game for the price.

Rise of Nations + Expansion for 24 bucks.
Riddick, Developers cut, 24 bucks.
Neverwinter Nights Shadows of Undrentide expansion: 4.98. Yep, under 5 bucks (It was on the Target clearance end-cap)
Those are the most recent ones that I just couldn''t pass up.

Starsky & Hutch for Xbox, US$6.99.
"Raise high the black flags, my children."

I just picked up Xeno Saga for PS2 for $6 at a KB Toys that was going out of business.
PSN ID: Stric9
Used DOA Ultimate for $30 shipped (Ebay).
Used Otogi 2 for $31 shipped (Ebay).
Legend of Zelda and Minish Cap before it was released in US (a gift from 1Dgaf)
Xbox Live tag Gorilla800lbs
Planescape Torment for $5 NEW. What a frigging find.
That''s awesome! I lent my copy out to someone a couple years ago and never got it back. I''ve been sad since.

Don''t be sad... I will comfort you...
Er, I mean I''ll send you the game if you want it

ESPN Major League Baseball -- $4.99 (plus some S & H)
I picked up Links for the Xbox for $15 from Gamefly. It hasn''t arrived yet, but it shipped out early this morning. More gaming with the GWJ crew is always a good deal to me.

Thanks for the offer, but Pyro has the game, so I may just use his copy of it since I owned it at one time, and cannot find it anywhere.

Damn, I wish I could find GR2 for that cheap. Then I could justify actually buying it.
XBL/PSN/STEAM/WAR/SPORE/RAPTR
Psi-Ops and Samurai Warriors for the PS2, $9.99 each, free shipping from Gamefly.com
Advance Wars 2 $9.99 from Best Buy
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.
Heh..I had it in my hands today at lunch & after waiting 10 minutes in a line that didn''t move, I put it down and walked out. I''ll get it eventually. Advance Wars was a fantastic game.

Oh boy, AW2 was the only game succesful enough to retch me away from FFTA. Now that honor''s been passed to Final Fantasy 1+2.
XBL/PSN/STEAM/WAR/SPORE/RAPTR
Yeah, I''m holding out for a good deal on FF 1+2.
Off-topic, I''m starting to think that I really don''t like FFTA all that much....problem is, I can''t stop playing it. It''s really weird like that.

I hear you Duffman, I''ve already completed the game but I''m bummed I didn''t get a Blue Mage. I''m too worn out from playing the 110 hours to go back again.
Final Fantasy 1 is mind numbingly simple and boring, I can''t wait to get to 2, as I have fond memories of that one back in the day. They sure did do a nice job updating them however.

Don't be saucy with me, Bernaise. - Count DeMonet

I miss that every week.

I''m lucky enough to have several independent *ehem* USED game/DVD stores near me, and have from time to time gotten some crazy deals. Still, if you check the sunday ads often enough you''ll run into some great deals at the major retailers...
For example, back when BEYOND GOOD & EVIL was tanking from widespread apathy, Circuit City sold it brand new for $9.99...
I guess my best deal recently was $14.95 for THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK for the xbox (new) at Best Buy a few weeks before christmas. Still haven''t played it yet, but... I''ve heard good things
about 5-6 years ago, I used to buy at LEAST 1 or 2 brand new games on day of release for my PS1. Now, I''m the guy who will wait for a game to come out in the ""Greatest Hits"" line... and THEN wait to find it used. Most of my games I score for $12.99 or so used... yeah, sure, I get them 6-8 months later than the hardcore, but at the rate I play, I don''t mind.
GTA:SA is the only game in a year that I bought at full retail on day of release, and I''m still in San Fierro
