DIdn't actually get a case for it. Just the box that houses the case and bonus CD. (Although it did have an empty DS case inside of that.)

Speaking of Dragon Warrior, last week I nabbed a box with an NES, accessories and 18 games. I posted the details a couple of pages previous. One of the games in the lot was Dragon Warrior II. I paid $30 for everything. All things accounted for, I would say I got DW2 for about $1. I'm definitely still bragging about that one. :D

I seem to be on a roll as well. Yesterday I scored a Final Fantasy VII (black box) CIB for $5. I know it's come down in price lately, but that still seems like a fantastic deal.

Pricing for videogames is kind of weird over here. Console games, especially new releases, can cost nearly $100 but PC games from a few years back can be dirt cheap. PSP games are still easy to find too, though only popular Western ones. Japanese stuff has no place over here.

I have a loose copy of Sola to Robo that I could use a case for.
Thanks for the heads up. I have mine reserved for pickup thus evening. I've wanted this game for a while now.

ya lost me? $5+ shipped. There are multiple buy nows for $6 shipped. Cool you got a game you want - but what's the brag?
To me it felt like it if you don't include the shipping, and it's still a little lower than that 6...I guess that ruined the point of the post...but I thought it was worth noting since most games go for 12-15 that I want if not 20-40(which most right now are part of that latter range it seems :-\ )

My trip to pick up 3 games kind of expanded into another mountain of games :P. One of the pawns had been having a tent sale and had around 200-300 games that I hadn't gone through yet :P.

Gamestop South Point.
Reserved a couple games and found a few others while I was there.

Can't beat a sealed collector's Edition with soundtrack, and hardcover artbook for $15. Game includes Tekken Tag HD, A full length CGI movie, and what pretty much amounts to an extensive playable demo of Tekken Tag 2. There is also a code for some playstation home stuff including avatars, shirts, and a Tekken Arcade cab for your virtual space.

Other games I found while browsing. Was a little disappointed that Operation Darkness was disc only but finding a complete Excite Bots, Rumble Roses XX, and Afro Samurai(with cardboard slip) made up for it. Got some awkward stares from the female clerk bringing up Rumble Roses XX :lol: .

Also stopped at both of the Tri-state pawns in Huntington.

Store #1 had been having a tent sale recently but apparently I looked over the wire shelves full of games. Since it was about to rain they had them all inside and I browsed through about 300+ games they had been keeping in the back. Ended up with quite a stack :P. Was expecting to pay $8 for the newer stuff and $3 for the older stuff but as usual they cut me a deal without me even asking :P Wii/360/PS3 was $6 and the PS2/Xbox/GC stuff is $2 a piece :).

Image

Yes that is Barbie Horse Adventures Wild Horse Rescue at the top lol. It's worth around $15-20 on Ebay and Barbie stuff moves fast :P. So basically it will pay for 7 or so of the other games once I get it cleaned up and tested.
Image

Midway Arcade Treasures 1 is interesting. Hadn't seen it before guess it's a later print of the standard Midway Arcade Treasures odd that they would bother throwing 1 on the end :P.

Second store is a little more firm on their prices when it comes to games since they are more focused on Guns and Jewelry but I still managed to find some decent stuff for the standard $8 and $3 price tags.

Was waiting for a copy of Kingdom Hearts Remix to pop up and I went ahead and got punch out even though the cover has alot of wear to the top it's price isn't dropping any further anytime soon so $8 for a complete copy isn't a bad deal. Was expecting them to charge me for both discs in the pac-man bundle since they pulled that with my copy of RE4 :P, but they just counted it as 1 even though I told them about it being a dual pack :P. Also glad I picked up FFXII picked up a collector's edition the other day that was beat to hell and apparently the disc must have been swapped since this one had the collector's edition inside it :P.

Pro Fishing Challenge FTW!!!!!

(It is easily Atlus's best game, and undoubtedly has the best cover art of any Atlus game. It is just so classy.)

I actually had the opportunity to purchase a copy of that game earlier today for a few dollars. I declined and am now filled with regret. (I just hope it is still there the next time I go by that store!)
