Post in this thread your bargains you've found. I'll try to keep this top thread current with the newest deals.

Please do not post every sale you see, however. We don't need to list that twenty different stores have Tony Hawk 4 for $5 off.

Just go for the big bargains. Please post your bargains in the same format I have done so it will be easy for me to cut and paste, thanks.

Thats a nice format elwood, thanks for taking the time to set it up

Joe Michaels · 01-05-2003, 06:25 PM

If people don't buy Buffy for $10 Idon't know what to tell them.

Elwood, you want this to be Sticky?

I'm still on the edge with that one. On one hand... <b>ten bucks!</b> On the other hand, I have five or so games I still need to play. That price will come by sometime later I'm sure.

elwood731 · 01-05-2003, 09:50 PM

Joe, you can make it a sticky if you think it will be better as such.

Ikea, I am not sure you'll find it for that price again soon. I am certainly shocked at it, because it really is a good game. I'd say pick it up if you have the extra cash, you can always play it some other time.

***SeanL*** · 01-05-2003, 10:25 PM

NFL 2K3 for $20? Hmmmm..... *rubs chin.

That's the same thing I'm thinking. I'm currently playing Medal of Honor: Spearhead and Hitman 2 on the PC and still haven't even started playing my Christmas copies of....

Splinter Cell
Medal of Honor : Frontline
James Bond 007 : Nightfire
Metroid Prime
Metal Gear Solid 2 : Substance ( just got via $19.99 special)

Sycowulf · 01-07-2003, 11:09 PM

I was at eb today, they have a page of coupons for this month...

Had things such as

Bloodrayne - 20$MIR (Game is 29.99)
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions - 10$ Instant Rebate (Game is 19.99)

If I get around to it ill type out a full list

IKEA_boy · 01-09-2003, 04:07 PM

Supposedly at EB (brick & mortar) you can get any of these for $9.99.

Buffy (already knew this though)
Terminator: DoF
New Legends
Legends of Wrestling
Bruce Lee
WWF Raw
Triple Play 2002
NBA Live 2002

Ruined · 01-09-2003, 06:24 PM

Best Buy (both online & in store) has Star Wars Jedi Starfigher (xbox) for 19.99

BTW, elwood, might make your life easier if you use the "pre" with the bent brackets around it HTML tag before and after your typed text. That will allow the prices to line up even if they are not the same amount of digits. You probably will need to adjust the font size too.

IKEA_boy · 01-09-2003, 08:10 PM

I should mention that I was also told that the EB deal was over. I haven't tested this though.

Sycowulf · 01-09-2003, 11:26 PM

Yah I saw raw today and it was like 24$... two days ago it was 9.99, frickin weird

Keep in mind most of the price stickers probably aren't changed. I saw Buffy for $24.99 but when I had him scan it it came up $9.99.

elwood731 · 01-12-2003, 01:11 PM

updated for week

But thats the weird thing, the tags for buffy and raw were both 9.99 the one day when i went back a day or two later they were tagged as 24.99

This is definitely worth looking into. I played the PDO demo and it was awesome. Plus, IGN gave it a 9.2 out of 10 and called it "the best rail shooter ever."

IKEA_boy · 01-12-2003, 05:52 PM

Maybe I'll pick up Serious Sam now that it's $15.

Also, Elwood... MeidaPlay?

Where's that? I always go to MediaPlay. :p

No Media Plays I know of near me in NJ, though there are plenty of Sam Goody and Suncoast shops.

Ruined · 01-13-2003, 11:09 AM

Here's a good one from GameStop:

XBOX Instant Library Pack

You get Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Dead or Alive 3, Blood Wake, Nightcaster, and an extra controller for only $299.99! If you bought them seperately they would tally up to $170, so by buying this bundle you are saving $-130!

IKEA_boy · 01-13-2003, 01:56 PM

Wait a minute. Do you or do you not get an Xbox with it? Because otherwise I, (and most everyone else,) could probably buy all that seperately for ~$130. But they're charging $300 for it.

That's why Ruined said you are saving a negative $130. It is truly a great ripoff.

I see. I didn't notice the 'negative' sign.

DVDriven · 01-13-2003, 04:12 PM

Looks like Circuit City jumped the gun with a great (invalid) offer this week. Devil May Cry 2 comes with a free copy of the original DMC; only problem is that DMC2 is scheduled for a January 28th release date. Idiots. :p

Sycowulf · 01-13-2003, 11:17 PM

Saw in this weeks compusa ad splinter cell and halo are 37.99 and every other xbox game reg priced @ 49.99 has a 10$ instant rebate... I think im gonna take advantage of this, and thought u guys would be interested too

Is there any reason that a launch title like Halo should not be down to around $20? I know it's a great game but at this point they're just being greedy......

Probably just simple economics... If the game is still selling fast at the $40-$50 price point, why lower the price?

IKEA_boy · 01-14-2003, 07:29 PM

Halo will probably stay up there until Halo 2.
Just look at GTA3 and GTA:VC. GTA3 stayed in the 40/50 range forever until VC came along.

But, if you watch the print ads and look online you'll occasionally find a good deal.

Ruined · 01-15-2003, 01:51 PM

BestBuy.com is offering the upcoming XBOX edition of State of Emergency for $20 shipped (preorder).

Probably will be a straight port, (just improved graphics/sound)... What didn't you like about it? I heard a lot of negative stuff about the game, but most of the major review sites gave it 8/10 or above.

Murdoc · 01-15-2003, 03:00 PM

State of Emergency was fun for about 3 days. After that it was just more of the same. Unloading on a crowded street with a minigun is very fun. But that only lasts so long. I would say that it is good for a rental, and MAYBE a $20 purchase. Anything more than that, and you're getting ripped off.

After about an hours worth of playing I don't ever want to go back. The gameplay is so repetitive and overall, this game wouldn't be worth $20.
