Saw XIII for PS2 and Xbox on sale at Best Buy (South Miami) for $19.99.
I think this price is good at least until the weekend.

With the coupon, it's a cool $14.99!!
Definitely worth the price for a highly stylized, though not too highly rated, game.

XIII was fun, for that price it's worth it.

I will certainly pick up XIII for $14.99. I figure it'll be worth it just for some Live cartoon deathmatches. Love the soundtrack, too.

Sorry about getting your hopes up Decker.

At my Best Buy, South Miami, Florida, there was a table full of games that seemed to have "temporarily" reduced prices.
I say temporary b/c it seems like it's just a sale type event, but there were 2 stacks of XIII (1 PS2, and 1 Xbox) with about 10-15 copies per stack.

So I guess this wasn't a national sale.

Once again, sorry to those of you who wound up disappointed by this.
As it is, I never got one for myself b/c I didn't have my rewardzone cash that I wanted to use, so I'm hoping there's still at least 1 xbox copy left for me when I get out of work today.

No problem. It was worth a shot.

Bastards at BestBuy wouldn't let me use the coupon with the discounted price to buy XIII.

Wound up costing my $21.39 instead of $16.04!!!

I'll try again sometime this weekend to get the coupon to work, otherwise, I'm not so sure that "trying" this game out is worth $21.

Goblin Commander Xbox for $9.99. That is a good deal, I was thinking about picking up the PS2 version for the same price at amazon.

If you can't find XIII for $19.99 at Best Buy, you can find it for that price at Circuit City(at least it's been tagged for a few weeks at that price at my local CC).

Forgot to mention that a Gamecube racing wheel/pad is on sale at BB for 2.99

It is similar to the Xbox proracer, but you can lock it in place to be a normal controller.

I ahven't tried it yet, but since I bought Nascar Thunder for 1.99 I also bought 4 of these since it supports 4 racers.

I'll post back after I try them out.

You're not talking about the Logitech one, are you? If so, that's an unbelievable deal.

No, some cheapo brand. I'd go look for it but I rearranged and it would take 20 minutes to dig it out of the closet.

Seems pretty silly these days to buy a console game right when it comes out. Just wait a few months to a year and you can almost get it for free.
