Forums - Gaming Discussion - Tell about your best deals

okay, gaming costs money, but that doesn't mean that it has to cost you more money than neccesary. I'd like to see how thrifty people are about the games they buy.

I got Zelda:TP for $40 before I even managed to get a Wii.

I got  Excite Truck for $15 from a rental store that was liquidating its stock.

I'll probably also be getting used copies of Metroid Prime 3 Zack & Wiki for around $25 or so each. i've seen them sell for back and forth between $20 and $30, so I'm biding my time to get a good deal on those.

So far, Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros Melee are the only games I've really paid full price for.

 

What about everyone else? Now that everything has shifted to a disc based media system, it's a lot less of an issue to buy second hand or rent before buying. I've already rented Metroid Prime, which sinched it as a buy for me, I'll probably be doing the same for Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes, if at all possible.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

ive usually paid full price for games unless they have discounts or are used.



My best deal would be PC GRAW for $2. Of course, when I played, maybe it wasn't so.



I got Half Life 2 and Half life 2 Episode 1 for NOTHING.

Gifted from Obi-wan



I got Earthbound, brand new and sealed, for $10.00.

I still have difficulty removing my lower jaw from the floor when I think about it.
