Man...I thought I had a good find this morning, but you all put me to shame. Anyway, I picked up, among other things:
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition (PS3; CIB) - $10
Remember Me (PS3; CIB) - $6
Both of these games were high-priority for me; so, I am very happy to get them at such good prices.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
I know I didn't get the best of prices, but the first store was too far away to not leave empty handed and I've had those meijer gift cards longer then I can remember, so here's to working on my PS3 exclusives collection:
Retro Replay:
Infamous $6.99
Meijer:
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire $12.99
Starhawk $19.99
I had mixed emotions on the retro replay store, its one of the very few mom 'n pop stores around here so I would love to support it, but I don't want to pay outlandish prices when the gamestop empire can offer me several of those games for under $5

PS3 exclusive is a great idea for a collection, BTW. I hope that you post some pictures of it when you finish it up!

I'll post a picture once I add another one of the exclusives to my collection, which would put me at 10 (recently started this) Then I'll start adding pics more often.prfsnl_gmr wrote:PS3 exclusive is a great idea for a collection, BTW.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Hit the pawnshops while I was out dropping off packages. Man are they empty right now though
people appear to be blowing their tax returns on games.
Total: $25.62 after taxes

Tristate Pawn #1
They actually had a NES system with two controllers and a zapper in the original foam but missing the box. It was really dirty but in other wise good shape so I checked it out
. Price tag was $89.99
. Wasn't interested at all but i thought I would see what he would drop to since they usually have plenty of wiggle room. However for the first time ever I had a clerk price check using his smartphone
looks like VGPC pricing from now on
.
Anyways I still snagged a couple deals for myself although the pickings were quite slim there inventory is literally 50% smaller then what it usually is.
Ended up with Boom Blox, Arcade Zone, and Wii Sports resort for $5.33 a piece. Boom Blox caught my attention after reading the last issue of game informer which mentioned it in the top 50 wii games article in the very back. Arcade Zone also caught my eye mainly because of the older Activision Arcade games mentioned on the case. Since it was Buy 2 Get 1 and I couldn't find anything else I ended up with another copy of Wii Sports Resort to toss in my eBay store.
Tristate Pawn #2
Pawn shop was pretty dead when I got in plenty of games to be found but nothing really worth picking up. Only ended up grabbing a copy of Sky Odyssey for the PS2 for $3 and the complete set of the Great Teacher Onizuka anime series which came to $5 at $1 a disc. Don't think I have heard of GTO but it looked interesting and I rarely pass up a chance to pick up anime locally especially complete sets.

What the hell.... There's a Wii game that's skee-ball + whack-a-mole + Activision Atari games? I need this in my collection.
