Got a copy of this Image In absolutely perfect condition.

I've seen it go for 90 bucks on ebay.

Got it for 1 buck at Goodwill. :D

And I got a copy of Yoshi's Island for SNES for 18 bucks, at Play n Trade, not as good a deal, but pretty low for them.

That said, I can't decide whether to keep the soundtrack, or sell it, it's extremely rare.

You are so lucky. That is one of my favorite games (maybe my favorite) and I absolutely love the music. But after I saw the price on it, I just decided to download it. It's not like Nintendo/Nintendo Power is making any money off of it, and the RIAA isn't involved, so I'm not going to get in any trouble.

It's a heck of a soundtrack to be sure. At least listen to it a couple times before you sell it. :)

Hmm, I'm not too good about finding deals, but I recently bought Earthbound and Breath of Fire carts together for less than 40$. From what I've seen online, that appears to be a pretty good bargain! haha.

Part of the Earthbound sticker has been slightly damaged, but other than that it's in decent condition, and Breath of Fire is perfect!

Not really steals or anything, but I picked up Deathsmiles for the 360 for $36 today, and also grabbed House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return and House of the Dead: Overkill for $17 each.

I managed to snag myself a rare Pokemon Mini console with 3 games (Pokemon Party, Pokemon Puzzle Collection and Pokemon Zany Cards) off of ebay recently for slghtly less than £15. Finding one of the consoles is hard enough, let alone getting one on ebay for that price. You can normally expect about £30 minimum. I was pretty pleased.

I also obtained Links Awakening DX, Donkey Kong '94 and Balloon Kid for game boy for about £11 altogether, which isn't bad I suppose.

Please post WHERE you purchased your Finds of the Day. Help others where to look.

Great find! Maybe a review?

This is all Satoshi_Matrix 's fault, the great review got me back in this game.

I liked the twinstick play of Katamari Damacy so much, did a price search for part two.

PS2 We Love Katamari, only ten bucks brand new at Toys R Us. :mrgreen:

Gamestop sells this game used for twenty bucks, usually new is more expensive.
The TRU web site states out of stock, local store had three copies, two now since I bought one.
