funny how quickly everyone changed their tune as soon as they found out about the discounted games

I've got a question, does this apply to console systems too or just games?

I was interested in Ico,Shinobi and Contra. Only one KB is closing near me. None of the KB's near me had Shinobi or Contra and only 2 KB's had one copy each of Ico priced at 24.99 and 12.49(closing KB) without tax. I wasn't about to wait until Saturday to save 2 bucks or so on it, considering the chances were high it would be gone so I rushed and got it for 13.24 after taxes.

Popped in Ico a few minutes ago and I forgot how friggin annoying CD based(blue bottom) PS2 games are with the loudness and I forgot how friggin beautiful the game is.

I need to find Shinobi,Contra(getting next month) and Fatal Frame new for PS2 and I'll be a happy camper for some time. I waited and waited on biting the bullet to purchase these and now they are hard to find new. I've had especially bad luck missing out on all the deals for Shinobi heh.

They had a few copies of Conkers Bad Fur Day there to, I'm thinking of calling up there to find out the price, forgot to ask while I was there.

I got Aliens Vs Predator, Dynasty Warriors 4, and Indiana Jones for about $47 total. I really wanted the new Dungeons and Dragons game, but the guy in front of me snagged the only copy. He ended up dropping $430 on all of the games that he bought.

Picked up PN 0.3. and Boktai for under $35, not bad. I was hoping for Otogi but they didn't have any.

Picked up their only copy of F-Zero GX for the ridiculously low price of $19.99. They didn't have in stock anything else I had my eye on.

They actually hadn't even started pricing them down yet when I got there, but they gave me the sale price sheet. It includes many more games than are listed above (a ton of GBA games, but most for $14.99), including Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance for $9.99 each. I wanted to pick up HOD but they didn't have any copies.

They didn't have most of the games I wanted. I only got Amplitude and Silent Hill 3. It was an okay deal.

Would anyone be able to pick me up a copy of Otogi, Xenosaga, + Mark of Kri? It would be greatly appreciated as my store was out of stock on those titles. I can pay via paypal. My email is [email protected] or you can AIM me at flashburn2012 .

Thanks

I got F-Zero GX for $20. I'm going to have to call back about Harmony of Dissonance for $10 though. My store did have those but they were not marked down.

The store in Columbus, GA, is one of the 400... I got the last copy of Otogi, but otherwise, they seemed to be in good supply on the others.

I didn't see Harmony of Dissonance, which is the only game on the list that I wanted that I didn't get.

Went to two different KBs today, and both were running the sale - picked up FZero GX, Castlevania HoD, and Crazy Taxi 3 for $42. Almost picked up Boktai, but I didn't think I'd actually get into it. Would've been great to get Rebel Strike III, but didn't see any.

I'm surprised Rebel Strike was on sale, the game just came out.

Rebel Strike 3 isn't on that list. You sure you didn't pick up Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2 ?

Pretty much a bust in Louisville. One store didn't have squat, the other only had about 10 games for Xbox/GC. Tons of PS2 and GBA though.

My brother got NBA Street 2 for Xbox(last copy) and I left with Indiana Jones.

The only one I wanted was Mega Man. Would anyone want to pick it up for me?

Very sure, that was the funny part, they had both 2 and 3 for 14.99 , plus they were selling the preorder disc for Rebel Strike for 14.99 as well. Unfortunatly people didn't realize a good thing when they saw it, huge stack of them and nobody was touching them.
