View Full Version : Price drops at BLOCKBUSTER - makes BOGO 50% off even better.

The Blockbuster video stores in the Melbourne, FL area lowered the prices on almost all of the preplayed games. This makes the 50% off deal pretty sweet (maybe the BEST DEAL EVER!!! (ha ha..)).
Alias is down to 19.99 from 24.99, Nightshade(Sega) down to 16.99 from 22.99, Serious Sam 9.99 from 14.99.
As always, these have a 'Quality Guarantee' and like all of the others I have purchased this year - like new condition with manuals.

If nessisary, ask at the counter for a case for that specific system (they have always gotten these for me), a insert for the case (will likely have), and a manual (they may have).

Final Fantasy X-2 for $9.99 is a hella good price. Wish I could pick it up for that cheap without trade in

I think I'm going to go pick up Nightshade and Legacy of Kain: Defiance together, since they're both $17 used. Walking out with both for slightly more than $25 is a bit tough to pass up. And plus, I loved Shinobi and Blood Omen 2, so I've been looking forward to getting both. :)

My Blockbuster (Urbana, IL) is running a deal this weekend where all preowned games are $24.99 or less. This combines with the "Buy 1 Get 1 half-off". So I got The Suffering (PS2) and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (Xbox), both marked at $39.99, for about $40 total after tax
This is definitley YMMV. Like Gump says, when you go "you never know what yer gonna get."

Count yourselves lucky to have a Blockbuster that has decent games. My nearest BB has a dozen copies of some weird soccer game, and a bunch of kiddie games. Maybe a copy of The Hulk for PS2 and various other garbage. Nothing even worth looking at.

I wish ffx-2 would have been 10. I guess I'll go back in a few days. Not all th e prices at mine were updated.

And the weirdest part, is that even though the cover says it is a Blockbuster exclusive, EB sells it new.

Well heck, if a game can be Xbox exclusive and then come out on the PS2 a few months later, I don't see why Blockbuster couldn't have an exclusive game that eventually gets sold somewhere else.
I doubt seriously if ALL games are $24.99 in every store. Maybe at selected locales where they have too many spare copies...

I saw Final Fantasy III for SNES... $34.99 (down from the labeled $36.99). Sad thing is that they purchase all SNES games for 50 cents, meaning some poor sap sold a good condition FF3 for about 2% of its secondary value.

i saw it in GI mag........didnt even know it was a sequal to mark of kri until i read on a bit.....it looks awesome btw.....and the name bears NO resemblance to the original (its a longer name and didnt have "mark: or "kri" in the name........it looked so diiferent as well).....so keep your eyes peeled for a cool looking game w/ the same artistic style..........and the main feature was an online/mp co-op mode that was unbelievable if it really ends up like they say!!
p.s.....i did mean blockbuster, sorry for putting bestbuy - i had looked at the little popup that appears when the BB is typed....and drugs have stolen any of my braincells that were rsponsible for memory ....but ive been in recovery for almost 1 1/2 years and i have VG to thank...so maybe ill get some sense back one day...........(and its not as bad as it sounds - i really was trying to be funny, then saw how it looked when i read back over it....and instead of erasing it im still typing ...so hell i dont know)!
