Few new Gamecube price drops at Best Buy

Saw Tony Hawk 3 and SSX Tricky for 14.99 and Disney's Magical Mirror for 19.99, new regular price shelf tags dated today. There may be others, and for other systems too, not sure....

The Kay-Bee near me wasn't doing the the 9.99 SSX Tricky deal a while ago, so I might get it for $14.99 myself. It's a pretty good little game.

P.S. -- Tricky and Hawk 3 are both on the BB web site at that price. Don't see Mirror there, but the B&M had plenty. Rogue Leader is also there for 19.99 (same at B&M, forgot about it earlier).

So Rogue Leader was marked 39.99 at my Best Buy, but I had them scan it and it was 19.99. Thanks again.

Almost got Rogue Leader for 29.99 the other night. Glad I showed some restraint.

I feel much better about 19.99.

You can actually get the 19.99 games for 14.99 if your B&M BB still has those "gamer's gift cards" with the "$5 off video games 19.99 and up" coupons on the backing for each card (they're in plastic cd-style cases). Just activate one for $5 or so; they don't expire until 12/31/03.

Is Outlaw Golf (on sale for $20 next week I believe) any good compared to the Xbox? I have both systems and was wondering if it is camparable. I rented and love it on the xbox.

I paid $50 for this game and I don't regret the purchase at all.

You should also pick up Tiger Woods 2003 for 29.99. It's a damn good game.

Wow -- can anyone else verify they've gotten these at Best Buy B&M for 9.99??? My local BB didn't have either in stock.

If Beach Spikers is in fact 9.99, I'm going to run out and get a copy. I've heard it's great and at 9.99 that's an insane deal!

Turok was $19.99.

I didn't see Beach Spikers.

The Gamecube "Big List" thread over at Anandtech confirms that Beach Spikers is indeed 9.99 at Best Buy B&M; my 2 local BB's were both sold out. RATS!

Eternal Darkness is also $19.99 at Best Buy B&M.

Also for those of you who have the December issue of EGM (GTA: VC cover), there is a Best Buy "$5 off any video game title or accessory $19.99 and up" coupon on page 127. This coupon is good through 2/1/03.

CreatureX, where have you been? The $5 coupons can be had for free by buying Gamer's Gift Cards. These coupons do not expire until 12/31/03. I have about 30 of them stocked up.....

Was at the best buy in Levittown, NY last night. They were sold out of Beach Spikers, but said they will get a new stock in on Jan 23rd. I asked the sales guy to look up the price, he said 9.99. i asked for a raincheck at that price and he said he cant give a rain check for something not advertised in the flyer. He said 9.99 is the price it will sell for when they get more in stock. We'll see.

I have Tiger Woods for the XBOX and have not seen the Gamecube version. One benefit of the Xbox is that the hard drive of the XBOX makes it real easy to save stats, shots, etc. I would think a memory card would fill up quickly.
