I thought I'd start this topic because I came upon a glorious sight recently... a blockbuster going-out-of-business sale.  
 
At this sale I was able to get a bunch of DVDs for $2.99 each and some games for $4 a piece. These included "The World Ends With You" for DS (which I'm enjoying, though the combat seems less skill based and more "mashy" for lack of a better word) and Dark Sector for Xbox 360 (A not-great Gears of War clone but ok for $4 worth of fun). 
 
Anyhow, anyone have any good cheap game finds?

I got Dragon Age from best buy on black friday for $35 like 1-2 weeks after the game came out. I actually sold it for $45 cash yesterday. I didn't even need to get there before the store opened either.

I remember the day CoD 4 was released there was a deal at Circuit City that included a free copy of CoD 3 with the purchase of CoD 4. I got both CoD 4 and CoD 3 for $30. The cashier accidentally charged me for CoD 3 instead of 4. They were also offering free posters but they ran out, not like it mattered hah.

Oh man that deal was awesome. The game cost $50 itself for consoles in stores. 
 
Steam has such good deals. Nothing can compare. STALKER, and KOTOR 1 for $2! haha 
 
THQ pack was the best. $50 and you got all the Red Faction games, STALKER: SoC, all the dawn of war games, Frontlines, all the company of heroes game, all the full spectrum games, and Saints Row 2.  
 
The calculated savings was almost $400.  
 
That is a deal.

A guy gave me Psyconauts for free on steam when it was cheap. 
 
I did sell Guitar Hero 2 (just the disk) for £55 (at the time it would have worked out to $110). Good old stupid second hand online shoppers.

As much as people knock Gamestop, they have an AWESOME loophole.  You can return any game within a week, for ANY reason, so a few times I have played like 4 or 5 games off of 1 purchase.  I just trade it in for single player games I know I am going to blast through and be done with in a week, until I run out of them and put the $ towards an actual purchase.

I just got Mass Effect 2 for $10 on amazon through a combination of deal of the day and some credits from other games I bought. I know its not a total straight up deal per say... but I still payed only $10 out of pocket for a brand new game.

I got Odama for 10 bucks at EB games. The next day (and for a long time after) it went back up to 50 bucks.
 
Not that odama is a great game or anything, but it WAS a good deal.

The Orange Box for 360--$20 brand new. Of course I already had it on PC, but still, it was well worth the $20.

There's a deal on steam called the ultimate valve pack or something along those lines that gives you basically every valve game for $100...If not for the fact that I have basically everything in it except L4D2 I would have got it right away.
Also, any Blizzard Battlechest.

Psychonauts for £5 is probably the best one I've ever had. I got Red Faction Guerilla for £10 which was pretty cool.
