Used games at www.gohastings.com for 25% off with the code USED25. Add a cheap Halloween item to get free shipping (look for vampire fangs or Halloween necklace for a couple that are 2.99).

I got Bioshock2, ME2, and Dragon Age for a tad over 30.

Watch buying games from Hastings. If you read the fine print, they don't have to include manuals or cases. Hopefully you do get them, but there is no guarantee. The only time I bought a game from Gohastings was a new copy they had a sale on. The rest of the time I stick to blu-ray/dvd/cd and books.

I've bought a ton of used stuff from Hastings. I've always received a case and a manual

Good . I'm just saying, from reading the fine print...it's the Gamestop philosophy and I'd be a little careful. That's all.

It's definitely YMMV. I've bought 6 games from them this year, 2 of which did not have the manuals. All 6 did have the case and case cover. And, most importantly, all worked with no probs.

Has anyone joined Gamestop's new Power Up deal? I was already an Edge card holder so I just transferred to Power Up and so far I like what I'm reading about the benefits. I guess it's in a testing stage at this point.

The amount of stuff you have to buy/trade to get any decent reward is rediculous. The only reason to have it is still the 10% discount/bonus on used stuff.

No, but if you still have a $15 gaming coupon from the Fallout New Vegas coaster box, that coupon is only good through 10/30 and this would be a good use for it, especially if your store suddenly ran out of 1600 point cards like mine did.

Thanks. I needed one of those for my new house. Keeps me from buying a new model unnecessarily.

How do you get free shipping on this? Buy a halloween item?

I know I've said this before, but you can get a "damaged outer box" Xbox 360 250GB Slims (where the xbox is essentially new if not totally new) for around $200 at Amazon Warehouse. Subtract the $50 you would spend on the adapter, it's costing you $150.

I think it's dead now. The deal got worse later on too, as you had to enter a code on the last day to get the shipping so you couldn't stack the deals.

This is a price drop at Kmart, but I don't think it's universal (at least it's not on Amazon)

Both Nier (PS3 and 360) and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3) are 19.99. The price was supposed to drop last week, but I didn't see them then... they had multiple copies outside of the cases at the Kmart I went to.

Yes, but to confuse everyone they moved it to Kmart.

Game Deal Daily has the Xbox 360 wireless mics on sale for $9.95. They state they are new but do not come in any packaging. Scam? Has anyone bought from them before?

They're pretty reputable and quite popular on CAG. Odds are they got some Lips bundle packages and broke them up to sell the piece parts individually.

That's exactly what they do. They break up all limited editions/bundles and sell everything separately.
