Damn these deals are costing me a lot of money. Already got Hunter, Knockout Kings and Beachspikers in the last week. Several other EA sports titles that were marked down before that. Desided to get the free (after rebate) Bloodrayne and the $9.99 Star Wars: Rouge Leader. Unfortunately I noticed the Limited Edition set of Robotech for GameCube was marked down to $39.99 and was only $29.99 with the coupon so I ended up getting that as well.

All of a sudden my GameCube collection is up to 26 games and I somehow spent about $200 in the last month on games.

Darn these cheap games.

To tell you the truth, these deals arent even worth it.....Because you have to deal with the trash that works at EB.....It took four trips the three different malls for me to get Hunter and Rogue Squadron....I called ahead and specifically asked each store if they had the coupons and they all said that there were plenty.....That all changed once i got to the store.....I had to "bother" half awake employees that were reading magazines....In one store it took me saying "excuse me" four times before he gave me a cold stare back and replied "I'm on break".....The first two places said they ran out of coupons within a half hour of me calling....this place really rots, its not worth the frustration of dealing with this people.....I dont know what bothers their employees more-the fact that theyre trash or the fact that they work at EB

Just my irate two cents

I've had some bad experiences with a few bad employees. Mostly at Gamestop, but I've had real good luck with EB. They've got my business when I want to preorder or they have some good deals like these.

It does suck when you have to deal with employees that don't want to be bothered with selling you something.

You should still have them scan the prices. Just because they're clueless doesn't mean that the sales aren't still on.

IF those bad EB experiences are true you really should report that to corporate thru website as they do care, alot. EB trys harder then most to get good workers it seems to me.

Just went to the same EB I was at the other day(called ahead) Hunter for 9.99, BloodRayne wasn't marked down, but I heard it wasn't that good anyway.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think BloodRayne is a good "Tomb Raider" style game. I've had a lot of fun playing it. Being able to drink the blood of your enemies to regain strength is kinda cool. I also like the attack moves she can pull off when her Blood Rage is activated. The story is as cheesy as most games of this type but the action is great. Worth $20 in my book. Well I guess its free after rebate, but whatever.

If your EB hasn't lowered the price yet you might get them to double check what they are charging for it.

It depends on the store. I've seen it for $19.99 and $9.99. I have no idea how they decide their pricing store to store.

Went to my local EB Games at lunch, saw Wreckless, but it scanned at $29.99, would still be $19.99 after the coupon. YMMV = GRRRRR! I've obviously been spoiled by all these good deals lately on Gamecube games.

It was a great day for me at the mall! I picked up the $5 Hunter for the GC, the free AR Bloodrayne for the Xbox, walked down the hall to Babbage's to pick up my DMC 2, which I got for $10.50 plus earlier trades of Stretch Panic and State of Emergency, both of which were normally worth $2 as trade-ins. I then mosied across the parking lot to Best Buy and picked up a copy of Beach Spikers for $10. I'm gonna be awfully busy this weekend, or so it seems!!!

I picked up both Bloodrayne and Hunter: The Reckoning for the Cube last night, using the Eb January Winter sale coupons.

I got the $5 off Hunter, and for some reason Bloodrayne rang up at $14.99. So, before the $20 Mail-In for Bloodrayne, I paid $21.63. Total cost, including rebate/coupon is $1.63.

I too went on a spree lately.

Beach Spikers GCN 9.99 at BB
Hunter GCN free (they gave me 10 off instead of 5)
Bloodrayne Xbox (free after rebate)
Wreckless Xbox 9.99
Eternal Darkness GCN 15.99 at BB
Quantum Redshift Xbox 15.99 at BB

Damn these bargains, I'm sitting on about 12 unopened games right now, no time for them all!

USED PS1, DC or N64 for 29.95

Thats a great price on Dead to Rights....I bought it two months ago for $50.....If you like third person shooters, this is the game for you....There isnt much replay value(I beat it in a week and a half), but that game will keep you hooked for a while.....I wish there were more games like it

I haven't played it but saw a review on G4TV -- the Judgment Day guys loved it (8.0/10; 8.5/10); said the graphics are just okay but the gameplay is terrific.

Edit: IGN gave it an 8.5/10:
http://cube.ign.com/articles/376/376891p1.html
IGN Summary:
Presentation
You saw the movies, now you can play them. One of the most accurate movie-licensed and boxing videogames ever. 9.0
Graphics
The facial damage system is awesome and details look great. Character models and animation could use some improvement though. 7.5
Sound
Bill Conti's classic soundtrack, real voices, and "Yo Adrian, I did it!" makes this cool. Where's Survivor? 8.0
Gameplay
A great boxing engine with a questionable scoring system still allows for one hell of a great time. 8.4
Lasting Appeal
Movie mode and the training sequences may get you once or twice, but it's the tournament and two-player exhibition modes that will keep you coming back. 9.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.5

Everyone says its good, so if you were ever on the fence about it you should probably go pick it up.

My question is, why is it all the GC versions are cheap? I want some good XBox deals!
