From that list, there are several worthwhile games.

Picked up Spectral Souls this morning, I might pick up Pirates!, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Megaman: Maverick Hunter X and/or Generation of Chaos.
I find buying games on PSP is alot easier than spending all the time it takes to download them. Getting the right firmware, hunting through forum after annoying forum for the game you want, getting the right software and such, it's just such a hassle. And of course you have to have a LARGE memory stick which costs quite a bit anyway.

Capcom Classics: Remixed, Capcom Classics Reloaded, Namco Museum Battle Collection, Generation of Chaos, and Tekken: DR.
Every store I went to had at least one copy of Tekken: DR, many had two. Some were still marked at the 34.99 though, lol. I think altogether I went to seven stores, and ended up picking up 5 games...lol. With my Edge card and the coupon, I saved over $34!

What's the likelyhood that most PSP owners actually buy their games instead of downloading them on their custom firmware? :P
I've run custom firmware since Dark_Alex put out his first OE-A firmware, and I have yet to pirate a PSP title. I use the firmware for what should be free - old games that have already run their course; Playstation 1 games, Neo-Geo games, MAME games, etc etc.. (And before you ask, I have not purchased any PS1 titles on my PS3 or absolutely anything from the Wii's Virtual Console, nor do I intend to.)
I find it rather insulting that you're automatically categorizing PSP owners as nothing more than complete pirates.
Thanks for the list of games, though. ;P

Well, since PSP games still seem to be in development, published, & sent to retail, the likelyhood is pretty darn good. If more games were pirated than sold, developers would have given up on the system long ago.

In the past month, I've personally sold around 15-20 PSPs. Out of those, at least half were only buying it to mod and play emulators and such.
canedaddy
07-22-2007, 12:18 PM
Tsukento, thanks for posting that list of games... that was very helpful. But your comments about the PSP library are absurd, as is the statement that most people with PSPs steal games instead of buying them. Piracy is a big problem, no doubt, but the majority of PSP owners either don't know how to do it or are opposed to stealing... or both, in my case. ;)
At any rate, I snagged Tekken Dark Resurrection and it is AMAZING. And I'm not even a fighting game fan. Given that the price just dropped, it's a must-purchase with this coupon.
I'm going to try to pick up Dynasty Warriors later today... and maybe LEGO Star Wars II.

07-22-2007, 12:49 PM
I had the case for Valkyrie Profile in my hands yeterday at one GS. That's one that I've seemed to miss every new deal that's ever run on it. It was marked $29.99 - the case/manual were mint (didn't look at the disk), but I decided that was a bit too high for me. I stopped at another nearby store, and they had it marked for $24.99 - but the case was severely water damaged.
So, what's the normal used price on it, $29.99 or $24.99? Sounds silly, but that extra $5 might push me over the edge.

Add "Cube" to the list, 11.19 after coupon and Edge.
I almost picked this up, but in a rare, un-CAG like moment, decided I didn't need it just because it's cheap.
Hoping to pick up Crush, but there's not a copy anywhere near me.

This one I did pick up. Somehow I never noticed it before, but it's another card game and I'm a sucker for them.
The store locator worked like a charm. Thanks Tsukento! Both of the stores that listed it had Crush. The first had UMD only, and I passed on it. The second had it complete and minty, $17.49 after coupon and Edge.

My GS has the same thing. I would say about 80%+ have the generic cover art. Those arent even real PSP cases, from what I've heard, they're some 3rd party replacement cases. I had bought Darkstalkers in this condition, it doesnt even lock in the UMD so it falls out and shifts in the case.

I wouldn't be surprised if gamestop just threw away the cases so they could brand all the used games with their logo and their value card. It's free advertising for them, and plenty of morons just accept incomplete games for a $2 price break off of new. I fucking hate that store.

So you can combine this with the edge card right? The one guy told me no because the coupon says it can't be combined with other offers.

Well, out of the five gamestops I've used this at so far, all of them let me use this, and two of them actually asked if I had an Edge card to use....so I'd imagine you should be able to use it. You must have run into a bad employee.

Thank you, OP!
While I do not agree that "most" PSP owners download illegal games, I have to comment to those responding to the "wouldn't spend a dime" statement.
That's his opinion, nothing more. No discussion, no debate. If you have a different one, say so. But don't have an aneurysm over it. Guy doesn't even own a PSP, and he makes a list like that for us? That is a TRUE CAG as far as I am concerned!
I LOVE my PSP, and have paid for every game I own. Which is reaching 30 with alarming speed. I have a second PSP that I am thinking of putting OE on, but I have not had the balls to try it yet. It is already @ 1.50.
anybody know how much Chili Con Carnage is or have a EB link???
I picked up Chili Con Carnage on Amazon a month ago for $15. It is listed at $20 right now.

I've never had a problem. Using the similar DS coupon, one of the employees specifically asked if I had an Edge card "because it should stack".
What you should do, always, in these cases is just ask them to scan the card and the coupon and let the computer decide. If the coupon doesn't scan, it has the code on it. GS may be crap in many regards, but they do seem to be updating their computer systems with these coupons correctly.
My coupons never scan -- my printer sucks -- but it's never been a problem. I noticed on the reciept I got from yesterday that one of the stores didn't even bother putting in the code -- they just overrode it with "Promotion Not Found".

I've also noticed whenever I bring in a coupon, they usually imput it manually rather than scanning it.

Just noticed that in the last 24 hrs Lumines for PSP jumped from $14.95 on GS's site to $24.95.
Anyone notice the jump in store? Anyone ever have luck getting GS/EB to match the sticker price if a game rings up higher?
Going to MI this week... the scanning law will be my friend if I find any that are mismarked up there :) $5 for a used copy of Lumines would be shiny!

Yea, well this manager refused to scan my edge card, informing me I was wrong. This is the 4th run-in I've had with him; I think it's time to call the district manager.

i just went and found out the hard way, i went and tried to pricematch the price for lumines from $24.95 to $14.95 and the guy kept saying that the price jump was from the corporate offices, so i couldn't get no lumines (i still got one from a closing blockbuster for a sweet $10 :))

I would definitely report this. Apparently customer service skills are no longer pre-requisite for managing a retail store.

Here's a great one to get with this coupon before it expires tomorrow:
http://media.gamestats.com/gg/image/object/822/822818/gm_psp_cvr_front_jpg_jpgcopyboxart_160w.jpg
The used price just dropped today from $29.99 to $17.99, so with the $5 off and an Edge card discount, it's yours for 11 bucks and change. Actually it's mine, but you can do it too. \\:D/ (file://\\:D/)

In many states that's illegal, but in MI they have to give you $5 off 'cuz they tagged it less than it rang up. It's the law, so if he refuses put a call in to the state and get your Lumines :)

I haven't played it yet, but everyone I know who has the game raves about it. I figure it's got to be worth $11.75, and if not, I'll trade it in and make most or all of that back. :bouncy:
Just found out about this deal. Am I too late?

Just wanted to say thanks again for posting the coupon, as I used the heck out of this thing. Bought eight games altogether: Capcom Classics: Remixed, Capcom Classics: Reloaded, Namco Battle Collection, Tekken: DR, Generation of Chaos, Platypus, and Thrillville. I also bought Splinter Cell: Essentials, hated it, so I took it back and exchanged it for Pursuit Force. This coupon used with the edge card was a great deal!

Sweet I went to my local GS with this coupon and scored myself a copy of Gitaroo Man Lives for PSP. Game is freaking awsome and for 12.09 after tax, you cant beat that. Anyway, i saw also Katamari for psp for 14.99 but thought it would be better to get Gitaroo Man. Good call?

I almost got this, too; but then I realized it wouldn't be worth the damage I'd cause to my PSP out of frustration with Sir Arthur's piss-poor jumping. *SIGH*

They use to put it on the outside but it wore off too easily or something, so they decided to put it on the inside. Good for management, but I guess they dont care that it ruins the cover art for their customers. And you dont realize it until after you buy the game.

I noticed this as well. I was pretty pissed that they had the nerve to put a used sticker on the inside of my Power Stone case. GS/EB stickers usually come off semi-easy nowadays but I could imagine this becoming a huge problem if they didn't come off or if they torn/damaged the cover.
