Another game shipped in, not too many Gamestops left out there that has a copy of this game. I now have two of the only four games that work with the Wii Force Feedback Driving Controller.

Thanks CRT, you have led me to many low run games in the past. Maybe one of these days I can re pay it to you.

I am jealous of yout Overlord find, and I curse you or making me add Speed Zone to my "want list". :lol:

No worries and please don't feel ashamed! Speed Zone is uncommon, but still a decent price. Thanks also for pointing out that Overlord game, reviews show it as across between Pikmin and Goblin Commander. I just picked it up CIB at Gamestop for under five bucks!

Has anyone else picked up the Wii Force Feedback Driving Wheel? A great price at Amazon! Analog Gas and ANALOG BRAKE on the levers!

I think I can't resist at the price it's going for on Amazon. I know literally a handful of games support it but I've heard that games like Dirt 2 are actually better with it. Plus, Speed Zone supports it as well.

I stopped by a couple of stores this morning, but sadly, most of the titles I wanted were disc-only. (I had to pass on Death Jr., Namco Museum Megamix, Princess Isabella, Speed Zone, Tomb Raider Anniversary, and Trauma Team. :( )

In addition to some more 3DS and PSP games, however, I was able to pick up:

Arcade Zone - $10
Back to the Future - $13

Using my rewards card and some coupons, I was able to get both games for only $11. :)

I went to a store this morning as well. I had the same luck as you since most of the games were disc only. :( I did manage to grab NBA Jam and Brothers in Arms: Double Time. I've been looking for a complete copy of Brothers in Arms for what seems like forever.

I had some better luck last night and grabbed a few more games but the highlight had to be Arc Rise Fantasia, which seems to be creeping up in price.

Unfortunately, I'll probably have to resort to the Internet for some of the more obscure stuff that I'm looking for. However, I'm in no rush and will periodically check for them using Gamestop's store tracker.

I'm getting to that point too. 19 of the 40 games on my Wii "want list" are less than $10 at GameStop right now; so, I will keep hunting there as long as I can. Some of these games seem to be incredibly rare despite their low price, however, and I will probably have to resort to the internet...<shudder>...once Gamestop completely closes out its Wii inventory.

It seems there are tons of games with very limited print runs. I'd love to grab some of them at the Gamestop prices versus the Internet prices.

Then, there are games like Flatout which are more curiosities for me and are very cheap at Gamestop. I can deal with paying $2.69 for a copy but not the $15 it goes for online since the quality of the game is questionable.
