Cheap Games Alert!

(I tried finding our old, sale alert thread but that seems to be swallowed up by the abyss.)

Prehaps it's time for a new one? :P

Post any sales you come across in your collecting travels.

Okami on sale for $29.99 at Best Buy all next week.

The PS2 version, or the new Wii one?Mathurin47

Best Deals I have seen:

Toys R Us, Disgaia 2 was on clearance for 24.99

And Blockbuster is currently running their 25% off all pre-owned promotion right now, and with their rather odd pricing system as it is it opens the door to get games like "The Darkness" for 7.50, for PS3 or 360 and even Bioshock I thought was a steal at 18.50 for 360, worth a look.

Yes indeedy!

The 25% off applied to used GC and PS2 games, if you go to a gamerush store they are flooded with both.

I picked up a sealed copy of Geist for 4.99 and Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria and Radiata Stories sealed for 9.99 (The new games do not have the 25% off but are all marked down)

Blockbuster is looking to dump all their last gen console stuff so you can get some solid deals, I was able to get Obscure for PS2 for 4.99 used - 25% (Even though I JUST bought the Xbox version) even some vintage stuff like the earlier SOCOMS are like 2.99 before discount.

Hmmmm, that seems odd?

I had a look see on the website,

Then I found the fine print "*Offer valid for a limited time at participating BLOCKBUSTER® stores in Canada only"

Ah yes that may be it,

Perhaps its time for a run to the border :)

Perhaps worth noting,

I was in Wal-Mart purchasing a case of Nestea Sachets, (Yeah I know, why do you need 500 packs of the stuff Cosmo)

While they were pulling it from the back I walked through games and they had:

Microsoft Xbox 360 HD-DVD Add on: $19.97

Gamecube w/ Mario Kart + Extra Silver Controller: $39.97

Gamecube w/ Mario Kart + Extra Silver Controller: $39.97cosmostein77

That interests me profoundly as I don't have a GCN yet. I will definately check this out.

May need to zip out quick,

Its a REALLY old bundle from two Christmas' ago, and the Wal-Mart closest to me only had a pair left.

Gamecube w/ Mario Kart + Extra Silver Controller: $39.97

cosmostein77

wow that is old lol, I got that for xmas of 2004.
nice price though, i would gladly pick up another if i had the cash.

mario kart alone goes for around that price.

Which is why I was impressed as well,

I bought that same bundle a few years ago for my bedroom gamecube, it was an awesome package but that was also when I learnt that all the non-Purple GC did not have a digital out on the back of them.

Indeed. I have a black one from 2003 with the digital-out port, but it was dropped from later models because it decreased costs and apparently few people used it anyway.LordAndrew

That seems to be a common thing with Nintendo. Didn't the NES drop the AV ports due to low usage?

Blockbuster Canada is doing something nuts with its new games,

Stuff that is still 59.99 at EB and Best Buy is 19.99 at Blockbuster new,

Not sure if its just game rush stores or not>

As mentioned earlier Blockbusters in Canada are doing a buy 2 get 1 sale on their preowned games.

It seems over the last week they have had a pricedrop on many of the older launch titles for 360 and even some of the more recent games which did not quick sell up to expectations,

The few that caught my eye:

Kameo (360) 4.99 complete

Dark Sector (360) 24.99 complete

Dark Sector (PS3) 29.99 complete

Empire Warriors Dynasty (360) 7.99 complete

Overlord (360) 14.99 complete

Virtual Fighter 5 Online (360) 14.99 complete

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (Wii) 9.99 complete

Battalion Wars II (Wii) 7.99 complete

Condemned (360) 4.99 complete

While there were others those are the ones that really caught my eye in terms of being a pretty solid deal.

Happy Hunting.

Toys R Us is now running a Buy 1 get 1 for $20 off sale on Wii games.

Majesco announced this morning that Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy is now available at retailers for the low, low price of $19.99.

For the Canadians in the gallery:

Rogers Video is having a 30% off all clearance new games deal, now I have no idea what governs a clearance game as they have some very new PS2 games, and some new-ish PS3 and 360 games in the bin.

Well they aren't physical games, but these are still great game deals nevertheless. XBox live is having a sale on some content, themes and XBLA games.

As for the games:

All 500 points through the weekend:

Rez HD

Arkadian Warriors

Catan

Brain Challenge

Boogie Bunnies

Golf Tee It Up!

250 points this weekend:

Assault Heroes

As for recommendations: I highly suggest Ah for it's super cheap price and retro feel, Golf (as it's really polished, and catan as it's a great game.

Rez HD is also awesome, if you wanna play it and not play a huge price. They are all pretty good games.
