I got one other title that escapes my mind at the moment and of course they are all complete. I did however, see a fair share of Pikmin and am curious as to what brought back this sudden resurgence of interest in the title. I mean it has always been regarded as an above average game why the sudden love? Sometimes I wonder if Gamestop picks out some random title and sees if they can artificially raise interest in a game by adjusting it's price.

One theory is that Olimar's inclusion in Smash Bros. Brawl has spiked interest in the Pikmin series much like a natural sequel would.

Well, decided to use the coupon again... I was 2 for 3 on using the coupon. One store reminded me that the coupon is "one coupon per store" but that is fine... took it as a sign to "stop spending"...hehe... Anyway, decided that this is my chance to get the games that I really wanted. Third store was to re-purchase games I traded in (all Starfox, FF:Crystal Chronicles, Turok, Metroid Prime 2, and Zelda: Four Swords but didn't happen so, oh well...). If anything, I was pretty stoked to get all the sports games I needed for a great price. You really do save on the higher priced items and the employee was like shocked with how much I saved with the coupon.

The following is with coupon and edge card unless noted by an (*)

Store 1:
Pacman World 2 (making sure the second game Pacman Vs. was included) - $12.99->$7.79
Evolution Worlds -$5.99->$3.59
Resident Evil 2 - $29.99 ->$17.99
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis - $29.99 -> $17.99
Legend of Zelda: Collector's $34.99 ->$20.99
(*) Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon - $7.99 -> $7.19
(*) MS Saga - $19.99 -> $16.19
(*) Phantom Crash - $3.99 -> $2.69

Store 2:
Kingdom Under Fire: Crusade - $7.99 ->$4.79
Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes -> $17.99 ->$10.79
Mario Power Tennis: $34.99 -> $20.99
Mario Golf: $14.99 -> $8.99
Super Mario Strikers: $29.99 -> $17.99

Unfortunately, no "Cubivore" or "Gotcha Force" in stock. I recall seeing it at Game Crazy but being a CAG...I prefer the GC with the 40% off. So, pretty much I just need the games that I traded in that I want again to finish off my GC collection but in no rush... I used the coupon and happy with how much was taken off for those expensive titles.

Considered the Pokemon: Gale of Darkness (originally part of my "priority" games to get but after reading reviews, many reviews said it's just Colisseum but you collect Shadow Pokemon...so I passed. As for Resident Evil 2 and 3. Despite owning it for the PS2 and it all scratched up, I wished I bought it for the Dreamcast because it was enhanced and sold for under $20 if I recall. So, I went back and forth of either buying the DC versions on eBay or get the GameCube versions and in the end, I decided to go for the latter.

Oh, I saw the Mario DDR for GC and that was like $49.99... man, that is expensive!

One theory is that Olimar's inclusion in Smash Bros. Brawl has spiked interest in the Pikmin series much like a natural sequel would.

I was actually looking for Pikmin 2 (Cheaper the better) a year before Brawl came out and as much as I scored the first one cheap, I figured it was expensive because it was a very good game that was reviewed well, scored high on reviewers "top 20 Game Cube games ever" and was literally a sleeper hit. Also, near the end of the Game Cube, so much interest was towards next-gen, online gaming, the newly designed DS and hopes with Nintendo rebounding with the "Revolution". Despite a few good games for the Game Cube, by the time Pikmin 2 came out... it seems like people were already waiting for the next best thing for next-gen gaming. And bypassed the game.

Actually, I remember seeing Pikmin 2 for a lot cheaper at either Gamecrazy or Game Rush (before Brawl) but it was over $20...but heck... post-Brawl, if I knew it would shoot up again to $39 used, I would have purchased it earlier. So, I'm happy for this coupon.

I have a little Gamestop story involving me using my coupon the other day:

I went to pick up Geist + Medal of Honor Rising Sun on Gamecube, the total ended up being $11.00 after the discount, no edge card (haven't re-subscribed in years, I'm thinking about it though). Anyways, the guy rang me up, but there was some problem with the line and it said my debit transaction didn't go through. He tried once again and still nothing, finally after a few minutes he got it to work, and this time was nice enough to swipe his own edge card for me since I had to wait, bringing the total down to 9 dollars and some change.

However, today I checked my checking account balance online, and lo and behold, I was charged twice for those games, one for $11 and the other for $9 something. So I went back today and told the manager there what had happened (minus the fact that it wasn't my own edge card, I just said I forgot to give it to the guy before), and he looked up my transaction from the previous day and saw that I was indeed telling the truth, even though I only had the receipt for the last transaction. So he proceeds to call someone else to get it sorted out, and the guy he's talking to on the phone is telling him that the first transaction should be voided, and that even though my account was charged, the $11 should re-appear within 5 days or so.

The manager was really nice about it, and it's not like I'm starved for money right now, so I can patiently wait to get the money back, but come Friday if it's not back in my account, I'm going to print off my bank statement showing that it never went back in my account and wave it in their faces.

nyprimus4
07-01-2008, 02:44 AM

Brute Force, Jet Set Radio Future(not the Sega GT pack), Prince of Persia 1, 2, 3 all on Xbox for $14.xx.

I have a little Gamestop story involving me using my coupon the other day:

Thanks for posting this because it reminded me to check my account. I had to get a credit back because an employee didn't use my Edge card discount even though I gave her my card. But checked and it was credited back to my account immediately on the same day.

But yeah, I know what you mean...when you use your card or atm and you do the whole process and then you are ask to redo it again... 100% of the time, the purchase was canceled and I had to redo it but to read your situation, definitely is a good reminder to check your account when those situations happen regardless if everything went smooth or not.

If its a good game why did it get a 5 on gamespot?
(Im being open minded about the game)

Who cares what someone else gave it.
There are plenty of games rated 9 and even 10 I don't like to play. Won't name names.

Look at all the 10/10's from gamefaqs users.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/review/914796.html

Gotcha Force is a great 3rd person action game. It's simple and charming.
Sadly it has lots of collecting so I've put pokemon like hours into it.

All non Player's Choices, almost all in perfect condition and all complete :bouncy:
REmake 11.99
RE2 17.99
RE3 17.99
RE0 7.79
Eternal Darkness 10.79
Beyond Good and Evil GC 8.99 but I think the guy forgot to scan it.... big moral dilema- it is a very long drive.

Very satisfied with my haul. I wanted Zelda Collector's disc but the one I saw was a bit scratched up. Also would like Code Veronica but the only one I saw was disc only, unacceptable for $15- I should have looked at the disc at least though. I have one more store to go, hopefully they'll have a nice one.

Wow the guy at my Gamestop is a dick. I went in to use the 30% off coupon, first he denied it because it was "printed" and maybe I "made it". Secondly, my edge card doesn't work because the bar code is gone, so I brought in my Game Informer subscription latest issue that shows my name, my address and my exp date of 04/09. He said "Thats your responsibility to keep that".


Does anyone have an edge card number I can use to just order some stuff of their website? PM me please, thanks.

Wait...so the e-mailed coupon that you get and are told to print off...he denied? WTF? This is why I hate Gamestop. Every employee I've ever met or talked to about games has no idea what he's doing or has any knowledge of games...

I hold out hope that they aren't all idiots though, because I know some CAGs are GS/EB employees that know their stuff...I just wished you guys worked at my local stores.

Most of the GS/EB is my general area have pretty competent workers. Some are great workers. I've only met a few sleazy ones. I consider myself lucky to be in the MD area.

And Maynard, seriously, report him. Ask to speak with his manager. I want to hear the rest of the story because that's damn ridiculous.

Ok, I feel poster's remorse because for some reason I had afternoon anger time here at work. The manager at my closest GS is actually a cool guy. But yes, it seems as with any group, the 10% of idiots seem to overshadow the 90% that are excellent.

I'm pretty sure I've picked up every BC XBox game I would ever be interested in. The only ones that I'm considering hunting for are Call of Cthulu, Shenmue II, and Stubbs the Zombie. Do you guys think these are worth it?

I grabbed yesterday:
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders
Fatal Frame (missing box and instructions :( )
Fable: The Lost Chapters

All for around $30.

I'm looking for Battlestar Galactica Xbox and Cubivore, regret getting rid of both and would like to pick them up without driving all over searching for them (I've thus far visited two locations who didn't know how to look up local stores in their computers).

Super Bubble Pop 4.49
Pac-Man Vs./Pac-Man World 2 7.79
Luigi's Mansion 5.99 - They had about 10 copies of this. Impressive.
Evolution Worlds (no manual) - 3.59 Just in case I'm ever in the mood for very average Dreamcast RPGs
1080 Avalanche (disc) - 2.99

That's all part of it's charm. I love the game. But hey there's a shit-ton of love for Halo 3 and GTA 4 and I'm not down with either. Same for MGS4.
Guess I love terrible Japanese games way to much. Like Gotcha Force and Cubivore. Heck I even started playing ToS and stopped cause I got bored.

Luigi's Mansion 7.48 included original case and instructions
Resident Evil Zero 11.88 original case and instructions
Genma Onimusha Xbox FREE! I got a 1.11 in credit back. Original case only
Soul Calibur II 3.74 Original case and instructions
Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes 22 Original case and instruction
Eternal Darkness 13 I printed out the case cover but no instructions

I originally got Capcom vs SNK EO but exchanged it for Resident Evil Zero. I did this once I played it and found out that you use the C stick to perform moves. I also have it for the PS2 so it wasn't worth keeping.

I picked up Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for $37.

No manual or original case, but heck, for $37 I can still make a little something on eBay.

You only use the C-Stick if you play using GC-ISM. But the GCN version of Capcom vs. SNK 2 is terrible anyway. Tiny D-Pad and shoulder buttons FTL.

I kind of wish you hadn't said that because I kind of want to go back and re buy it -___- This sale has had me addicted and its sick. But I probably wont go back for it. It really isn't worth it if I have it for the PS2.

Got me a Viewtiful Joe complete. Didn't see much else. At least it was $2.27 total for me.

I did the same thing. I had bought Joe from GS.com a while ago and they only sent me a disc in a sleeve. Needed a complete copy and got it. Now I have an extra copy...lol.

I'm about to head out, since today's the last day, and I havn't got the chance. I hope I get something good ^_^

Edit: Back from the store, here's my haul. Was kind of funny, he was the first GameStop employee to actually as for my I.D.

(XBX) Doom 3 $9.99 >> $5.99
(XBX) Marvel vs Capcom $59.99 >> $35.99
(XBX) Phantasy Star Online $2.99 >> $1.79
(XBX) Halo 2 $14.99 >> $8.99
(PS2) Kingdom Hearts $12.99 >> $11.69
(PS2) Kingdom Hearts 2 $17.99 >> $16.99
(NGC) Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest $24.99 >> $14.99

So right there, total would have been $143.93, but with the 30% Coupon and 10% on the PS2 from the Edge Card, it's $94.43. So I saved $49.50. All games were extreme mint condition, I almost cried ;)

I cleaned up one of the local Gamestops; picked up the following all complete and minty fresh (40% off with Edge, what a sweet deal):

Pikmin 2 - $23.99
Luigi's Mansion - $5.99
Resident Evil 2 - $17.99
Resident Evil 3 - $17.99

I was going to get Zelda Collector's Edition for $35 - 40%, but the copy they had was a wreck. There were some XBox games I was looking at, but nothing spectacular - no Marvel v Capcom 2 and the one copy of Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 was disc only.

I'm going to head over to another location with another copy of the coupon to pick up Pikmin 1 and Zelda Collector's, and probably a few more games.

On another note, they had a copy of Super Smash Brothers Melee priced at $39.99 used. WTF?!?

I went to the store yesterday to look for Dreamfall (xbox) and Metal Gear Solid TTS. They had the first but not the latter. I go back to the same store today and....BAM! There it is, complete. Here's my 2-day haul (after edge and coupon):
Dreamfall (xbox) - 8.99
MGS TTS (gcn) - 20.99
Splinter Cell (xbox) - 1.19
SC Pandora Tomorrow (xbox) - 1.79
SC Chaos Theory (xbox) - 2.39
Beyond Good & Evil (gcn) - 8.99

Thanks to OP and gamestop. Great coupon. And thanks to CAG for trying to keep a guy broke =). Save me from myself.

I noticed a lot of games are still ripoffs even with the discount. Mario Tennis for $35, Zelda discs for $35 .. sheesh. Even with the discount, you can find these games both cheaper, and in a lot better condition if you wanted to. I kind of laughed when I saw the yellow players choice tag on games, so that means they retailed new for $20, and then saw the price and it was $25.

I got Rocky ($5 original price) and Prince of Persia ($10) for Gamecube for $10.48. I was going to get Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 for $5.00 apeice before discount, but when I took the cases up there they said they didn't have it. Really lame. I can see why I rarely ever go up here, even though its right down the street from me.

Didn't have a coupon with me, but I picked up Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GC for $7.99. I had looked that up online, and went in there specifically for it, but s I was there I also noticed a great condition copy of Metal Arms, and as I've been looking in GS' for YEARS for a good copy of that, I couldn't pass on it at only $3.99.

I just got back from my final run. This has been a truly iepic coupon for me. Here's what I picked up during the course of the week, broken up by store (All GameCube):

Resident Evil: $19.99 -> $11.99
Resident Evil 2: $29.99 -> $17.99
Resident Evil 3: $29.99 -> $17.99
Geist: $6.99 -> $4.19
Luigi's Mansion: $9.99 -> $5.99

Lego Star Wars: $19.99 -> $11.99
Lego Star Wars II: $24.99 -> $14.99
Mega Man Anniversary Collection: $7.99 -> $4.79
Resident Evil Zero: $12.99 -> $7.79
Spartan: Total Warrior: $14.99 -> $8.99

Mario Golf: $14.99 -> $8.99
Summoner: $4.99 -> $2.99
The Simpsons: Hit & Run: $19.99 -> $11.99
Battalion Wars: $8.99 -> $5.39

Star Fox Adventures: $9.99 -> $5.99
Cubivore: $24.99 -> $14.99
Mario Power Tennis: $34.99 -> $20.99

Gladius: $12.99 -> $7.79
Mystic Heroes: $7.99 -> $4.79
Wario World: $9.99 -> $5.99

Ikaruga: $39.99 -> $23.99
Chibi-Robo: $12.99 -> $7.79

Total Games: 22 (nearly doubling my collection!)
Total Price: $228.38 (only $5.67 credit left)
Average Price: $10.38 per game

All of those were complete and non-GH, except for Cubivore, which is disc-only. Unfortunately, the store that had a complete copy of Cubivore two weeks ago didn't have it by the time I got there, so I had to settle for disc-only. I would have liked to pick up Mega Man X Collection and Viewtiful Joe 2, but non of the stores I went to had them in stock, even if they had said so on their website. Oh well. It's just too bad I wasn't in NYC (where I live) until Sunday night, and I started working full time on Monday. It seriously cut into the number of GameStops I could hit up.

I've seen it sitting there for a long time and almost always get it, but don't. Might as well get it while the coupon is alive.

See if you can get the case and manual from videogameinstructionbooklets.com

My fiance was nice enough to steal my edge card and my last coupon to suprise me with some gamecube games seeing I got a cube but have working hard to find some decent priced good games to play and she got me

Harvest Moon:Magical Melody
Baten Kaitos

Which is cool because for some reason those 2 games were at only one store within 100 miles of me and it happen to be next to a store she was going to...

Well got to love Gamestop and they gave here a disc only copy of Harvest Moon and a complete yet crushed case Baten Kaitos.. So I went on the site I listed above and was able to get the case,insert and manual for HM along with a case and insert for BK for under $12.00 which is fair to me and someone like me that has to have complete games and cases that dont look like someone sat on and took a dump...

No Cubivore products :cry: It is an old Atlus game, so I'm not surprised. Maybe I'll spot it on ebay one day, or maybe at another Gamestop and they'll be kind enough to let me swap cases. Thanks for the site though.

Used this coupon a lot, I got:

Mario Party 4
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Star Wars Rogue Leader
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Gold
PN 03

The stand out deals are Mario Golf for 9 bucks, PN 03 for 3 bucks and Billy Hatcher for 3 bucks. Mario Party 4 is still a rip-off at 20 bucks but I loves me some Mario Party. I've played Mario Golf for 7 hours today, I am addicted.

Star Fox Assault (GCN)
Killer 7 (GCN)
Chaos Field (GCN)
Tales of Symphonia (GCN)

I've been playing Tales non-stop, it's a pretty good game and definitely happy with that purchase. I'm excited to pickup the sequel on the Wii and Tales of Vesperia on 360 later this year.

So, I just got around to checking out the games I picked up today (Ikaruga and Chibi Robo). I open up the Chibi Robo case, flip through the manual, and a game disc falls out! So now I have two working copies of this game for the price of one! I'm surprised no one caught this, especially since this disc was sitting in the manual out of the floor for who knows how long.

Gorge
07-04-2008, 02:50 AM
Would you be willing to sell the disc? My girlfriend has really been wanting to play the game and I've been kicking myself for not picking it up when I saw it at K-mart.

Yeah it was a great coupon. I was able to pickup some old favorites (all the more reason to be more particular about selling/trading things).

I hit up a couple stores and found...

NCG
Ikaruga
Viewtiful Joe 1&2
Sonic Gems Collection
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance
Resident Evil 2
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Pikmin :hot:

XBOX
Star Wars KOTOR 1 & 2
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 :hot:

Although the new coupon isn't too shabby with your EDGE card. Maybe it's time to pickup the complete LEGO Star Wars...

Have you played The Bard's Tale? Not sure if you can adjust the camera, it's been awhile, but I can only remember the camera being way to close to the action and it made me sick. For $3 though you didn't go wrong.
