There is a videogame store here on in Toronto with considerably fair prices...I picked up a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for $25, where a few blocks down it was going for $60

jesus, for what system? $25 is a little steep, too, imo.

It was for the Dreamcast..and I think it's not such a bad deal..I also paid 25 a piece for street fighter 3 double impact and street fighter alpha 3 also for the Dreamcast

But yes some places do overcharge alot and I've never bought off eBay before so I don't mind paying a tiny bit extra so I can see the game is in good shape and it works..

There is this videogame store in Toronto called a and c games which really charges a premium big time, but they have anything you want really..incredible selection just very overpriced. Before earthbound made it to the VC about a year ago they were charging $900 for the game CIB, I offered 500 and I'll take it right now kinda deal and they woulnt budge..they also had a factory sealed cheetahman 2 with a sign saying "not for sale", I offered 2K and they wouldn't budge either..but maybe in hindsight it was a good choice not to

I did however spend $350 on panzer dragoon saga there after bringing the price down $100 bucks..and I mean..350 is pretty much how much it goes for and even if I wanted to get rid of it for say like $250 bucks or so..it would go in a heartbeat

PC Darwinia - $2.99 Thrift Store
Published by Cinemaware, I did not know they were around that late putting out games. This game is so weird with a retro Tron look about it. Really, I was playing it at Starbucks and someone asked me if I was a game programmer due to the "Rez" appearance it has.

Mix Command & Conquer and a bit of Centipede as well as Tron Spider shooter levels to get an idea. I was lucky to get this pristine CIB which included the Disc, Manual, Poster and sealed Key Chain. Fully installable and even Win 7 compatible, this game is very addicting!

weasels reviewed this game way back in 2008 right here on Racketboy:

Wii Mad World - $2.69 Gamestop
Finally bought this, always passed up in the past due to having the look of an unfinished game. That Black and White Graphic Novel affect is okay though sometimes hard to distinguish things on the screen. I love the Jet Engine level tossing enemies into the impellers and watching the red blood fly.

Wii Samba De Amigo - $19.99 0.89¢ Gamestop
This game was new at one time and is retagged as used, the "New" label is hidden underneath. Gamestop has been retagging new games and selling as used. The Dreamcast version is pretty good with authentic Maracas, but the Wii version is easier to set up and works very well.

Xbox Jade Empire Limited Edition - $5.00 BookOff
Interesting take on an action RPG set in ancient China. This is the Limited Edition that includes an extra character. No DLC, the bonus content is right on the second disc, easily installable to the hard drive.

Goodwill:

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (Xbox) Disc only/generic GS case: $2.50
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 (Xbox) Complete: $2.50

yay~

Damn, $25 for SFA 3 on DC? I thought it was like 10 bucks.

Sfa3 is more like $18ish.

Ahh; I haven't checked in awhile, but I know it usually floats around $15.
