Back in the day, I bought my PS2 and also got one of those $50 2 year warranties with Best Buy.

Well...almost exactly 2 years later my PS2 shits the bed and I go to Best Buy to use my warranty. In those 2 years, Sony had dropped the price of the PS2 by $100 and the slim version was out.

Since I had bought a warranty for a system that was $100 more expensive than the one they were going to give me, they had to give me a $100 gift card along with my brand new PS2! And the thing that made this deal even sweater was that the PS2 slim came with a network adapter built in so I could start playing games online, all at no additional cost :D



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

GBA SP $5 from someone I worked with at EA. We had our own little craigslist network there. Good stuff for good prices.

In recent memory, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat for $6.99.



Pixel Art can be fun.

TWRoO on 22 June 2009

Best deal ever to me was pre-ordering Windwaker.

£30 for Windwaker, OoT and Master Quest (and some GC video trailers for other games) is the best bargain.

Followed by Okami (Wii) for £12 from ASDA

And Geometry Wars: Galaxies for £8 from CEX (2nd hand, but fine condition)

While it looks like TWRoO beat me by a bit, Okami for $40.



Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Either way, we payed billions of dollars less than it's fair price :p
