Did you get in on the Amazon deal?
Last night (3/26/02) at amazon.com, the games on this page:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...844113-5272141
was all 75% off. Got 3 ps2 games with shipping for $40. Did anybody else get in on this?

....No, but then again, no one told me about it.. and considering it was on 2/26/02, makes me wonder. why mention it if no one ever linked the sale to the bargins forum or this forum.

Thanks to this spiffy thread , I managed to snag Dark Summit for XBox (go ahead, laugh, but I've been eyeing it for a while) for 12.50 +shipping. It's already moved to 'shipping soon', so it looks like it's going to go through.

Yeah, I got Final Fight One for GBA for $10 ... actually had it and some other items in my shopping cart this morning & was able to order ... had some issues with another item that was going in and out of stock, so I waited until this morning to see if it was in stock again before placing my order. Unfortunately it was in stock, but they had corrected prices from 75% off, to 25% off.
Luckily, those items that were actually in my cart stayed at 75% off. I wish I had realized this was an error, as I would have not taken my time in ordering/tweaking my order. I actually thought they were just cleaning out some inventory...

I posted it as soon as I found out about it.
Also, it was already posted at several deal sites before I found out about it. Congrats to those who got in on it. Sorry to those who didn't.
My games shipped out this morning.

Ordered Test Drive: Wide Open and Dark Summit for Xbox ($12.50 ea.), and a Trigun/Wolfwood 2 pack action figure, and the action figure for Monev the Gale for $7.50 each.
Haven't gotten any shipping confirms yet. hope this doesn't fall through. I posted this at animeondvd.com and a few guys there took up the NGE metallic 4 pack deal. Not bad at all.

I picked up Monev (already had the other two Trigun figs and two of the EVAs, so I passed on the set - but those were *great* prices!) and a Pokemon GBC game.

Poopie. Guess I should've been watching a little closer. I definitely would've snagged Victorious Boxers at that price. Did anyone snag any extra copies of that one that they wouldn't mind selling?

I got in on it, but not for any games. I picked up the set of 4 Evangelion figures for $22.01 shipped. An awesome deal considering each figure goes for about $12.99 everywhere else. I was going to get the Trigun figures today but the price went up so goodbye 75% off.
