Thanks for the heads up shadobox.
I fully appreciate any employee of a game selling retailer giving us the inside info on stuff like this.

I might have to make a BB run now, but my local BB has crap for games so I will probably miss out.

Dangit I just got Dino Crisis 3 for 29.99 at toys r us just a week or two ago and I thought I was getting a good deal. Oh well, thanks for the info and maybe I can get my hands on a copy @ BB and I'll just return it back to toys r us w/ my receipt (if i still have it).

You could just buy the new one at best buy and return it at TRU. Just make sure to take the price sticker off :-$

Geez, they must really want to get rid of X2: Wolverine's Revenge. I've been thinking about picking that game up for awhile, and now I just might do so. Thanks

Primal and PN03 are mine.
I'm also considering Dino Crisis 3 for $15 (after the GGC).

Also, Matt Hoffman Pro BMX 2 is for $9.99 at Best Buy.
I know it is an older game but I picked it up and it is fun :)

Primal for $9.99 is a pretty good deal, I'll have to go to BB soon.

Holy crap. $10 for PN03? Worth it?

Picked up Primal and PN03 today.

was at bestbuy in costa mesa, ca today boktai was still 30 bucks, anyone know anywhere close that has it for only 20?
Boktai isn't a bad deal for $15 after GGC. Might have to pick that up. These prices permanent or just a sale?

yeah - is PN03 worth it for $10?? If it's just meh I don't want it but if someone can honestly say it is good, I will pick it up... I already have a backlog of unopened games to play thanks to CAG!

I picked up P.N. 03 yesterday for $10, and I think it's worth it. It's a straight third person shooter where you use your surroundings and character movement to dodge enemy fire. Unfortunately, you can't shoot while moving, and the enemies and indoor environments are fairly generic. Still, the lead character is hot and animates quite well. For $10 new, I think it's worth owning.

Here are some other titles I picked up for $9.99 at BB yesterday...
Onimusha Tactics (gba)
Metal Arms (ps2)
Spy Hunter 2 (xbox)
Romane of the three Kingdoms VII (ps2)
Spawn Armageddon (GC)
Beyond Good and Evil (Xbox and Ps2)
Guilty Gear X2 (ps2)
It seems each BB store has different games on the sale...

Ditto on PN03. It's a very odd game, but totally worth $10. That and I'm a total Capcom whore. ;)

Did they automatically ring up for $10 or did they have to mark it down themselves? If it automatically rang up for $10 then probably all Best Buys will have the same price. I'm definetly interested in Metal Arms and maybe SpyHunter 2.
Damn i wish i stayed near a BB. I want Onimusha Tactics and Spawn. Curse my city.

x2 wolverines revenge sounds good for $10 but i dont know.... anyone played it?
Is this in store clearance? If so i may have to take that long drive up to the nearest one.

Hmmm, any chance the Metal Arms was more than just PS2, GC hopefully. Anyone else confirm these prices at other Best Buys?
Also everyone should get Beyond Good and Evil at that price if its at all stores. One of the best games of last year IMO.
Also, it seems as if Best Buy is in the midst of a clearance sale reminiscent of the Target and Circuit City clearances, although maybe not that good yet.

Ask them to check the price for you. They were supposed to go into effect Monday but we forget to change them a lot...Mondays are busy mornings

shadobox, can you confirm any of the games that dreamsymphony mentioned? Metal Arms or GGX2?

YMMV on this deal.
I was just at my local BB, Onimusha Tactics was $19.99 on a price check, and I gave Metal Arms for the GameCube a shot... $29.99. didn't try it for the PS 2, as I read the 'Cube version is better.

Ditto. All the games listed rang up as marked for me as well, except for Spy Hunter 2 (didn't check that one).

Cool. Thanks for posting this. I picked up Primal, P.N.03 and Wolverine's Revenge (Xbox) today at lunch. Three games for $30! Not bad.
I also urge anyone with a GBA to buy Boktai. Awesome game that needs more support. And there's a sequel coming out, so get it while you can!

The price on the computer when they look it up at the kiosk would be the most up to date right?

Right, that's what it'll ring up at the register.
I'm not sure about the ones Dreamsymphony mentioned but I'll check tomorrow when I go in. Just a tip for you guys too...if there's a little c on the price tag it means its clearance. Once those sell there's not much of a chance we'll get it in again (though it does happen occasionally). Clearance items usually aren't available online, but again, it does happen

I went to the a best buy in Vegas and I didn't find any of these games. I was primarily looking for P.N.03. No luck. :(

i was just at my local BB (Paramus NJ) and picked up P.N.03 and Wolverine for Gamecube for $9.99 each. Both were mismarked at $19.99 but rang up at $10. I also tried Metal Arms for PS2 and it ended up being $29.99. I guess 2 out of 3 aint bad.

man I want to pick up metal arms for ps2 and guilty gear x2, thanks for the info OP. I also wonder if that 10 dollar rebate thing for viviedi games works to. That would mean metal arms for free, I highly doubt my bestbuy will have it for 9.99 anyway.
Oh sure, I post a topic like this a few days ago and it gets ignored, but yours takes off and gets 3 pages of posts in a day. *shakes fist at topic creator*
Hehe, sorry, the jelousy is overpowered me. Oh well, your list is bigger anyway.

Hey bmulligan, have you been to the Ann Arbor store? I was thinking about going down there today...
All that driving for nuthin. The BB in Newport News Va. had none of those games available. :x

02-19-2004, 12:22 PM
there was also some PS2 Superman game (I forget the name) for 9.99. I make it a rule not to buy any games that involve Superman, but thats for the sake of completing the list...
The_Continental
02-19-2004, 12:52 PM
It might be worthwhile to pick up metal arms for 29.99 and PA it later, to ensure you get a copy... they'll fly off the shelves at 9.99
evilmax17
02-19-2004, 01:00 PM
All of those games weren't 9.99 at my best buys. They tend to be pretty consistant too, so I dunno about this one. :?
CaseyRyback
02-19-2004, 08:32 PM
At mine
Billy Hatcher, Mega Man Network transmission were both 19.99
Starsky and Hutch for PS2 was 9.99
R:Racer Evolution was only 20 for PS2
I really wanted to find a copy of Beyond Good and Evil for GCN or Xbox but all traces of the game had vanished
I did get Boktai for only 8.84 after GGC and a little on an old GC( was 20 and had a hot dot on it, but she ignored the hot dot like they all do and instead gave me the GGC discount)

I haven't been to the Ann Arbotr store in months, just Novi, Pontiac, Dearborn, and Westland. Metal Arms was still 29.95 at all those stores.

Anyone know if any BB's in SoCal have these prices on Billy Hatcher and Spy Hunter 2. I've been to three BB's and they are both still at $29.99 :x

02-19-2004, 09:20 PM
I went looking at my BB but they didn't have any PN03 Gamecube or Wolverines revenge (for ANY console!). But I did find Gamecube Pac-Man World 2 for $9.99. They had both versions on display - the one with Pac-Man VS too.
So this really looks like a YMMV type of sale!

02-20-2004, 03:16 PM
Just got boktai for 14$ and P.N. o3 for 9.99. Although I think I might return one (got caught up in the moment) Figured while I was there I would check some guide prices, but no knew penny guides that I could see.
Got Boktai for $15, GGX2 was still $30 at my BB. Those are all I checked.

My BB had Primal for 9.99, but Metal Arms was still $29.99 across the board. By the way, that is a sweet sig and avatar Dazz.

Bedminster, NJ store had 1 P.N. 03 (GC), 1 Nascar Thunder 2003 (GC) and 2 x Wolverine's Revenge (PS2) all for $10.
I picked up the last P.N. 03. Thanks for the tip guys. Was looking for the Xbox versions of the other 2.

OT rang up $19.99 for me, the others rang up at $29.99, no sale.
I did notice that Mace Griffin for Xbox is also $9.99 (not just the ps2 version).
also, Wario World (GC) is $29.99.
Neither Mace Griffin (xbox) nor Wario World (GC) are on the website anymore, B&M only.
