Universal Price Drops: August 2004

[CheapyD]

I thought it might be helpful to keep a monthly list of games whose prices have dropped at all (or most) stores.
You can post in this thread, and myself and the Cheap Ass Moderators can update this original post. Previous list (http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17932)

Isn't Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom dropping to $19.99 universally?

[Oktoberfest]

GAH, and I was planning on selling FFX-2 soon, too!

[Jaket]

i got FF with the guide for 22.50 a while ago at bj's whosale club..... are they ahead of the game or what?!

[Sporadic]

Isn't Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom dropping to $19.99 universally?

Yes it is....it has become a PH.

[Dok Diamond]

Isnt viewtiful joe now $19.99 everywhere?

[AdamInPlaidum]

I believfe 1080: Avalanche for GC is now $19.99. Not sure if it is a PC or not, though.

[AdamInPlaidum]

I believe ROTK is $19.99 as well.

[tenzor]

Drakengard is also going to be $29.99 everywhere as well.

[johnnyoski]

I believfe 1080: Avalanche for GC is now $19.99. Not sure if it is a PC or not, though.

I don't think so. Price drops on this game are still YMMV. CC still shows this at 49.99

[rebenns]

Pretty sucky price drops this month. Just as well - been spending way too much anyway.

[andrew333]

would be nice to find vj at bst buy to use ggc

[MeGaWC27]

GAH, and I was planning on selling FFX-2 soon, too!

so hurry up and sell it and hope you get more money before the price changes

[smash bro]

Best Buy in Beavercreek, Ohio still has Viewtiful Joe for $39.99!

[Nephets]

I'm surprised your BB even has Viewtiful Joe! My BB's really only have games that are "brand new" on their shelves... :?

[Murcielago77]

eh nothing great yet

[smash bro]

Well, it's not really my Best Buy. I live in Goshen, Ohio (You've probably never heard of it... It's in the middle of the middle of nowhere...) So I go to one in Eastgate, Ohio (or Summerside, Ohio). They only have brand new games, too. But my brother lives in Dayton, which is where Beavercreek is, and there is a college right next to it. So they sell all kinds of games, and their Meijer sells more than most, and their McDonald's is open 24/7!

[AzianAsspicker]

I hope ninja gaiden will be dropping soon or become on sale at a local store :)

[Spanky2k3]

Is that the best buy next to Wright State your talking about? Because it's huge and has a ton of games/

[GhostsToGlory]

For $20, I think I'd like to finally try out True Crime: Streets of L.A.
It seems like it's worth that price, and I've heard from a few friends that it's pretty fun/ ;)

[Mr. Anderson]

Transformer and FFX-2 for 50 bucks? Count me in.

[Oktoberfest]

sweet Champions of Norrath is $20!! Thank you!!

[rebenns]

CON for $20? Hmm, maybe this month isn't so lame. THUG sounds interesting too, though it will be a LONG time before I master the other Tony Hawks I have (especially 4).

[Alien Spider]

I believfe 1080: Avalanche for GC is now $19.99. Not sure if it is a PC or not, though.

Where have you seen it for that price? I remember it being $9.99 for a couple of days at EB, but I haven't seen it cheaper new than $49.99 since.

[noop]

Best Platinum Hits... ever.

[swinte]

THUG was pretty fun. I picked it up for $20 on the GC a few weeks ago and couldn't stop playing it. It's the first Tony Hawk game that I've beaten. Not sure I'd recommend it at $29, but for $19 it's a great deal. I can't wait for THUG 2!

[ph33r m3]

I just moved and just got my cable internet back after 2 weeks. At Fry's Psi-Ops is 19.99 *In Store Only*

[mackey]

Star Wars Knights of the old republic is now 19.99 on PC and X-box

[JohnnyDrama]

I think it's time to pick up THUG for Xbox and Champions of Norrath. I might even get Spongebob Squarepants, I've heard it's pretty fun.

[CouRageouS]

Hope I can get FFX2 and Transformers is at my local BBs for $30 to GGC them. Last time I was there FFX2 was $40 and the stacks and stacks of Transformers they had were still $50. Gotta go check again asap.

[Chris Dillon]

you may want to add psi ops to the list. Im picking it up, ffx-2, and the suffering tomorrwo for ps2.

[ChessPieceFace]

Curse them for keeping the Ps2 THUG at $30! I want to paste my face on the game character!

[Vampire Hunter D]

IF True Crime is the GC ver. ill try that.

[Chris Dillon]

No I dont recomend true crime at all. Its pretty bad. Its cool then all of a sudden it become a like mythical game with chinise voodoo or something. The control scheme is so complex you will be pulling the manual out trying to figure stuff out.

[cjg725]

I really want to get Transformers. I might have to head to Best Buy soon. :)

[JamisonBWolsh]

Nephets!!! Love that girl in your Photo, whats her number or email?

[smash bro]

I didn't read through all of the posts, but Super Monkey Ball 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle have dropped to $19.99.

[Parrish]

Both Gamestop and Amazon have dropped Amped 2 down to $19.99, so I'm guessing that's going to be a universal drop.

[smalien1]

is nephets a man or a woman? from the avatar, not from the sig

[booo]

i saw psi-ops for $29.99 @ target, think its the same at circuit city...
goblin commander is $9.96 @ cc as well as the $9.99 @ tru

[Scorch]

For what its worth, Hastings discounts games QUICKLY, Hitman Contracts used is down to 29, Full Spectrum Warrior new is 39 and used is 29, I even picked up THUG used on XBox for 9.99.

[Josef]

I believe Front Mission 4 may have received a universal price drop to $29.99. I have seen it for that price at EB, Gamestop, and Best Buy.

[johnnyoski]

Looks like LoTR: ROTK is now a universal price drop to 19.99.
CC, BB and EB are all selling it for that price.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this price is for ALL systems.

[Mishimaryu]

samurai warriors is good at 29.99, althought the castle stages just ruin the game IMO.

[andrew333]

tru had manhunt for xbox at a regular price of $29.95, likely universal drop coming soon

[Vampire Hunter D]

I really want that Super Monkey Ball 2 but have yet to see it anywhere.

[help1]

socom 2 is 19.99 at some stores

[Vampire Hunter D]

Can someone make a September Ed. of this thread?
