Picked up Assassin's Creed ($10) and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction ($20) for PS3.

I saw a bunch of great games there, most of which I already owned like Crosswords, Brain Age 2 and Professor Layton, which were only $10 each. Ended up picking up Kirby Superstar for $20, along with Soul Calibur 4 (360) $25 and Ratchet and Clank $20.

I believe it is Fallout 3 CE (PS3) that is $40 (the one in the lunch box)

Couldn't find any Uncharted copies nearby, but it is $19.99 new if you can find it.

I did pick up:
(PS3) Battlefield: Bad Company for $14.99

I went to a couple of local BB's. I found Bioshock for $20 and Fallout 3 for $50 both for PS3. But both were open had no manuals, and were marked new. So, I decided to pass.

I was hoping to find The World Ends With You, but no luck :sad:

Checked 7 stores so far looking for Uncharted and Oblivion but have come up empy every time. Off to find more Blockbusters!

Today for 14.99 each I picked up:

Iron Man(360)
Okami(wii)..It's the 1st Wii game I've bought since Super Mario Galaxy. I'm seeing if my Wii still works and updating now as I type this.

360
Bullet Witch $4.99

I almost bought that game but I heard bullet witch was garbage. Is it any good? The reviews are pretty bad as well.

$15 for Okami? Hell of a deal. Worth every penny of the original SRP.

Yeah, I picked up Okami as well. I had it for the PS2, then stopped playing it thinking it would come to the Wii and I'd rather finish it on there. I forgot to pick it up when it finally did hit the Wii, so this was a nobrainer for me at $15. I can't wait to dive back into it!

I also picked up Wario Land and De Blob for the Wii. My Wii has needed some loving here lately, and this was a good way to get back into it.

So I just grabbed it at Amazon for $39.98. And yes, it's actually cheaper that way minus the sales tax.

Sorry Blockbuster. :)

Damn 3 Blockbusters in your town? We only had one and they closed it now. Got to travel 15 miles for the closest.

Welcome to Suburbia... I called my local 12 Blockbusters (within 10 miles)...

I did a final run of BBV stores, this time through the Greenville, SC area, today after work. I found four more I was looking for, so I'm all done now.

This time I had one manager just flat out tell me as he was checking me out that the sale ends this weekend, and after that they're sending the new games back to someone and they will very, very rarely stock any brand new games in the future after this. I didn't ask any question, he just told me all of this.

Also, at just about every BBV store they now have signs up saying that this is the last weekend, and to buy not before they're gone forever.

I broke down today and bought Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock w/ wired controller (360) for $29.99. Seemed like it was worth that much for when the friends come over.

There doesn't seem to be as much DLC as I would have expected for it....

Resurrecting this thread to say that I saw another Buy 1 Get 1 free sale going on for all used games under $15 at Blockbuster. Selection was limited, but I picked up the following at $5 each (2 for $9.99): Okami (Wii), Raving Rabbids 2 (Wii), Raving Rabbids TV Party (DS) and The World Ends With You (DS).
