Now that the buy 2 get 1 free sale is on again anyone know what some of the used prices on used titles should be??
I know it seems to vary from store to store a lot.

lwhy?

I bought Final Fantasy X for 19.99 used at my Blockbuster yesterday. I thought it was a good deal.

If you're going to buy from Blockbuster, don't forget to buy the $55 Gift Card for $50. Save yourself an extra 10%.

Since this deal is still ongoing, thought I'd start posting what deals were around my area. The PS2 selection is generally horrible (and I've had bad experiences with their stickers messing up my PS2), but there are a lot of Gamecube titles out, and I just got a GC!

Seen in my area:

Gamecube:

Animal Crossing 35 (without memory card)
Eternal Darkness 25
Mario Sunshine 35
Pikmin 20
RE remake 20
Sonic Battle 20 (marked at 25 at one store, but price was still 20)
Spiderman 20

Anybody see Starfox used?

AU Tiger

I went to four Blockbuster stores yesterday and found Starfox Adventures for $34.99 at one of them. I did not buy it at the time because I could not find three games I wanted at that particular store.

Gamecube:

Animal Crossing 35 (without memory card)
Eternal Darkness 25
Mario Sunshine 35

Spiderman 20

Zodo

I saw tons of State of Emergency's for 9.99.

GTA: Vice City for 25... it was behind a bunch of other PS2 games, and didn't come with instructions, but for that price, what the hey?

darkhunter

Damn do you think that price on vice city is nationwide??
There were 2 copies at my local store marked $39.99!!!???
and both felt "light" like they were missing instructions.

fujishig

Not sure about nationwide pricing... I think there is a slight difference between independently owned stores and corporate stores. You might want to pricecheck it, though.

I had bought Sonic Adventure 2 battle with a pricetag of 25 at one blockbuster, only to see it at 19.99 at another. Before I went back to return it, I checked my receipt, and it had been priced at 19.99... despite the sticker.

Blockbuster had tons of Vice City to rent when it first came out, and I'm kinda surprised that this is the first used one I've seen. I was looking and looking for a game to return Animal Crossing for (since for 10 bucks more than their used cost, you get a new game plus a memory card) and it took me a while to spot it hidden behind stacks of Aggressive Inline...

Grimm1

Gamecube:
$14.99
Aggressive Inline
MX Superfly
Spider-Man: The Movie
All-Star Baseball 2003
Smugglers Run

$19.99
Pac-Man World 2
Pikman
Sonic Adventure 2
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Super Mario Sunshine
Tarzan Untamed
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Wave Race: Blue Storm
Super Smash Bros. Melee

Bonus....if you know your purchase is going to be close to $50 buy a $50 Gift Card first and they will give you a FREE $5 Gift Card. Then use the Gift Card to make your purchase. Just doing that covered all of my sales tax.

jiggawhat

I have seen ncaa 2k3, nfl 2k3, and nfl blitz all for 19.99.

fujishig

Shoot, they had Sunshine for 19.99? Here in Los Angeles, it was 35 bucks...

Grimm1

It really depends on the store. I have gone to Blockbusters that are on the same street and only a half a mile from each other and the one will have used games for $15-$20 while the other has the same used games for $25-$35.

kvrdave

You might do bett at Ebgames.com with the 20% off used games, plus 20% back in MSN dollars. Their selection is getting pretty limited, though.

Grimm1

$24.99

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Mario Party 4
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Granted these prices are higher then what I was able to find before but these are also 3 games that I really wanted. So with the current sale I was able to get 3 used titles for the price of one new title.

fujishig

Here in LA, found Mario Party 4 and HP for GCN both for 35 bucks. More expensive than Grimm1's finding, but I got Lord of the Rings, Two Towers for PS2 for free (35 bucks), right after seeing the movie.

Still no sign of Starfox or Super Monkey Ball 1 or 2, though.

darkhunter

Just found State of Emergency for $6.99!!
I mean not the best game in the world but for $6.99!!??

Also Jedi Starfighter on PS2 for $9.99!!

darkside

I picked up Agent Under Fire for GCN for $14.99, Lost Kingdoms for GCN for $19.99 and got a $14.99 DVD free. Luckily both my games were in the original cases and had instructions.

~~ PAL ~~

Some stores do that on purpose. If you ask them as you're buying your games, it is possible to get the game manual. The nearby BB was able to dig up the manuals for me after I inquired about them during the purchase.

It also bugs me that nothing BB is sold with the original cases anymore, whether it is a game or DVD. Instead, they were sold in these beat-up lockable cases that they display with. According to a guy I talked to, BB pretty much just throws away the original cases as soon as they took out the game (and DVD), so sometimes you might be able to get a new game case from them if they didn't throw away everything.

I've noticed the lockable cases too. What's really odd is that some of the Gamecube games that I bought brand new had similar lockable cases, with the locks missing. I think Animal Crossing for sure had this. Never seen it on a PS2 game. Is Nintendo starting to use these cases as well?

At least they sometimes keep the manuals and most of the time have the cover art too. Always confuses me how they have some used games for sale without the cover on the box... it's not like they rent out the boxes themselves, so what happened to the game cover? Too worn? I remember before, they would give me photocopies of the instructions when I bought a used game, except it would inevitably be for the wrong game...
