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?
Best deal you've ever gotten on a game
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 $30. The cashier accidentally charged me for CoD 3 instead of 4. They were also offering free posters but they ran out, not like it mattered hah.
" That Eidos pack, which included batman, hitman games and tomb raider games and like 14 other games for 50$ on the steam christmas sale "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.
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.
Bought a ton of cheap games from steam at december and early januray for their sale, which are all good deals.
My friend gave me a gift of Garrys Mod 10 for free on steam.
I also picked up Bioshock for €10 and Oblivion for €8 in gamestop.
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.
I bought SFIV on Amazon for 15 dollars and they sent me the collectors edition unopened, this was like 6 months ago too.
I got M&L: bowser's inside story for 30 bucks...then traded it in 3 months later for 32 bucks. I got paid 2 dollars to play that game. Beat that.
There was an Eidos pack on Steam a while back... The pack cost 50 bucks and included like 21 games the highlight being Batman: Arkham Asylum Which on Steam was 60 bucks anways.
So basically I got Batman: AA for 10 bucks off and 20 other free games with it.
Bought Dark Cloud 1&2, Valkyria Chronicles, and Persona 3 FES yesterday because the latter two were mislabled and were $12 and $20 cheaper respectively.
And DC 1&2 were used (in really good condition) for like 2 dollars each.
