I am looking for titles such as:
Animal Crossing
Killer 7
REmake
Tales of Symphonia
Skies of Arcadia
MGS: Twin Snakes
Beyond Good and Evil
Any upcoming GCN-related gamestop deals like B1G1F?
Any store where I can still find old GCN titles even if its YMMV?

im like you ive been looking around for deals on certain gc games i want to keep in my collection. id say one fo your best bets is to do some trading with the cags on the trading forum. alot of them are willing to cut you some decent deals on shipping and delivery confirmation and they do a good job of regulating scamming and what not.
if you want to deal with stores only wherehouse.com is a good place to go they sell used games and they tend to be in excellent condition and complete. you can buy used stuff at ebgames but youre not gauranteed the original box or instructions its a crap shoot on that end of things but you can find some rare games on there at good enough prices. and of course theres amazon.com and ebay but the first 3 places i mentioned ive had alot of success with on gc games and ps2 games.
also ive seen animal crossing at a few diff places for 20 bucks new.

If you're looking for getting them for under $20, there are several places online that can be found through Froogle and Shopping.Yahoo.com. Any cheaper than that, though, you're gonna have to go hunting; most of those are common enough that pawn shops might be your best bet. Fry's might be a decent option if you have one near you, as they've been clearancing a lot of their older games.
Hopefully that's somewhat helpful, and good luck in your search.

I'VE SEEN ANIMAL Crossing at a few targets new still, for 20, and I've seen Tales Of Symphonia for 9.99 in the front row bins at best buy.

Saw MGS: Twin Snakes at my GameStop for $19.99. ;)
You'd just have to call in to the different stores and find out for yourself.

I've got a copy of Animal Crossing if you're interested as well as a copy of Sonic Mega Collection. CML and/or PM me.

Thanks, I picked up ToS for 10 bucks in BB like you said.
I'm looking to pay less that 15 bucks for these games as they are quite old. I just wanted to see if there were any crazy deals.

Looked for GCN games at Kmart in their clearance aisle and there was nothing. The only thing worth purchasing at the given price was Viewtiful Joe 2 but it's not my type of game.
This was in the Miami area by the way.

BTW, I know about Gamestop's prices but that place is a rip-off and I just hate the store and their type of "customer service". They are always rude, stuck-up assholes when you ask for help. On top of that, heaven forbid I actually buy a game wherein I am then told ten times to reserve a game like Bioshock as if it is actually going to sell out everywhere. I hate that place.

next time they ask you to reserve something just channel up some red foreman and say " how about you reserve my foot in your ass".

Also, check local video stores. This is usually the time that they clear out the old games so they have room for the next gen games. It's how I stumbled upon a used copy of MGS:TTS for $7.

No luck finding games even at a local flea market.
They had a Sega Genesis for 50 bucks! Are they high?!
Anyway, I wish EB / GS would have a B1G1F on GCN soon.
