The deal was for only 1 day. =/
Yeah I picked up both at that price as well. Got to love Best Buy's Deals of the Day!

Ok, in addition to GameStop, we need a Best Buy's Deal of the Day thread also apparently.

Thought I'd brag a bit about a couple of things I found on Tuesday of this week. I have this little "rivalry" between myself and another board member here named Mechblue. So whenever I have a chance to score something locally before him, it makes my day. LOL.

Anyway, at a pawn shop in town here I snagged an Atari Jaguar CD attachment, with a few games that actually look like they've never been played (The 4 packin's - Myst Demo, Vid Grid, Blue Lightning, Tempest 2000 soundtrack, Dragon's Lair and Space Ace sealed, and a complete boxed copy of Alien vs Predator) 2 jag controllers and the Jag link cable for $30 bucks.

I asked the guy what else he might have, and wouldn't you know it? He pulls out a mint copy of Pikmin 2. Tells me $10 on that. Then he pulls out a sealed copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day (where the heck did the guy get this stuff?) He tells me $10 on that. I asked him if I took it all, would he do $40? He went $45 for everything. Couldn't believe it. Then he tossed in one of those Legend of Zelda lithographs that came with Phantom Hourglass. Talk about a score.

Suddenly, I don't feel so bad about paying $130 or so for a good copy of Chrono Trigger.

okay. we're gonna need pics of this. that's too insane.

Consider them posted! I'm at work now (um.... not doing work... LOL) but I'll post some pics when I get home. I've been browsing the forums and would love to do pics of my game room as well.

I really think I'm going to come to love this site like a second home. I stumbled upon it when I was looking for a Saturn mod chip and Action Replay cart.

Got LoZ: Ocarina of Time CIB, nice condition (even had the little plastic bag for the cart) for $20. What's really nice about this, is that it was from a store that normally charges $25 for the game cart-only. I am now one step closer to my goal of upgrading my N64 collection to all-boxed.

Maybe place your Collection post and pics in you signature as a link? A goal for others to see.

The guy and his mom had just over 200 PS and PS2 games to sell and I offered to buy the whole lot at a deeply discounted price, but since I was the first to get my grubby hands on them they didnt want to go as low as I was offering. So instead I just pulled out all the goodies. They were selling them on behalf on their brother/son.

They wanted $5 for each game and I ended up paying $100 even for the lot

Damn nice find on MGS3: Subsistence. Nice find altogether, but I've been looking for that one game for a while now.

Hey guys, this is my first "FotD" post. Bit of back story, so shoom down for tl;dr

My mum has a secondhand DS and much to my FRUSTRATION she refuses to buy herself any games. OTOH last christmas she was given Tinkerbells Adventure or something, so I can see why she'd be skeptical of buying new games... So I have been keeping an eye out for titles she might enjoy. This holiday season a toy clearance store opened in our town and I wondered in looking for RC toys. Half-behind the counter there was two tubs filled with Gameboy Color and GBA games and accessories that never sold back in the day. That day (maybe day 4 of the clearance sale) I walked out with a copy of WarioWare Twisted, with a hologram-ish box in near perfect condition for AU$15. I thought, "they need to clear these out by the time the sale ends...!" Today is the last day! I got Pokemon Ruby Red (PERFECT condition) Doctor Mario & Puzzle League and Kurukuru Kururin, with slightly scuffed edges on the box, for AU$5 each! So for AU$30 I feel like I have bulked out Mum's game collection with 4 solid games and hopefully when she is done she can swap them with one of my mates who are collectors!
(Kurukuru kurukin is the Australian edition, which I THINK is most desirable for its english translation, can anyone confirm?)

tl;dr
AU$15 for WarioWare Twisted 2 weeks ago, AU$5 each for Pokemon Ruby Red, Doctor Mario & Puzzle League, and Kurukuru Kururin
All brand spanking new with only light wear on the box-edges
