Clem, here's one I started that is kind of a mish-mash of 360/PS3 games to watch out for, though it's dedicated to newer releases for both consoles that will be tough to find later.

Picked up a few more wii games today while I was waiting around for a movie to start. Not bad for $4.79 after taxes.

what's a good price? $30?
I got my copies of Pandora's Tower and The Last Story new from gamestop for $20 each a while back. Looks like Pandora's Tower has shot up again on Amazon and Ebay to around $30 now though :P.

There are a lot of stores with supposedly "new" copies(probably the shelf copies that have been opened :P) around me right now at gamestop. Will probably go on a run Wednesday if you want to keep an eye out just message me. With shipping+paypal it would cost around $24ish to get one to you.

Yeah, I see that one only going up. $30 isn't a bad price for a new copy right now. I got myself a sealed copy a week ago for about $32 shipped from eBay. GameStop has it for $17.99 used right now, if you can find a copy in a location by you.

I would also recommend picking up The Last Story. They're both action/RPG type games, but a lot of people say Last Story is better when comparing the two. If you're into one, you'd likely be into the other. It's only $30 new on Amazon (sold by Amazon) right now. Used, it's still about $25. I only see the price going up from here.

It's worth noting that the Last Story also has a CE version with much nicer packaging, an artbook, and soundtrack. Pick that one up if you get a chance!

Guys your killing me with all this rare games stuff. I almost want to start the collection again lol. All serious though, Out of all the games that are posted on page 30, what games should I really look into buying to actually play? I mean with all this talk on the xenoblade games should I just go and get the xenoblade trilogy even if im not an rpg fan? I mean the games look incredible and it looks like an epic story to play through. I don't care on collcting them I just wonder if im not an rpg fan would it be with buying if im a wii gamer and not a collector. I just bought Kirby return to dramland with my credit because its always going to stay up in the price so I figured to spend the 3.00 I had to pay with my credit from gamestop than dish out 60.00 plus dollars later down the road and I know I will be loving this game for a while

Here's my GameStop boomark list currently:

OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon
Phantom Brave: We Meet Again
Opoona
No More Heroes
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Klonoa
Wario Land: Shake it
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (GameStop doesnt have Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus on their website for the Wii for some reason)
MiniCopter: Adventure Flight
Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
A Boy and His Blob
Shiren the Wanderer
Castle of Shikigami III
Okami

Only 2 of these games are at GameStops within 100 miles of me, Okami and No More Heroes 2, and most of these games show up as "No stores with inventory within 100 mile radius."

So i would assume the game hunters are out picking up alot of games under $10.

Many of these are still a bit too expensive for my tastes, and the inexpensive games are generally unavailable locally. I check my local stores frequently, however, and I suspect I will be able to round off my Wii collection the next time Gamestop cuts prices.
