Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (GBA) $4.99 at Best Buy B&M.

I can post a reciept if you need a proof :D.
http://img54.exs.cx/img54/4860/BB9.jpg
Each store in the DFW area recieved one around Friday, and the wherehouse had a ton.
The game was marked down to 5 dollars in May.
Ask someone at your local store to look it up and see if the DC has any, and if any are on order.
Then find out when they get thier GEO shipments, because it would probably be in that.
Good luck, but don't get your hopes up.
P.S. Can someone fix this server?! :censored: very annoying!!!

Yup. I saw a few at EB used with box and intructions for $17 I think minus 10% yesterday and I was on my way to pick one up today, but fortunately decided to stop by BB . :D

A cheap padded envelope has always gotten the job done for me without complaints. Barring that, it's a good reason to keep a stash of sturdy cardboard boxes on hand.

I thought this was posted as well during the 4.99 BB sale a while ago..I remember looking through the list and trying to get it at all of my BBs but alas they were all out of it. Maybe they are getting new shipments in but I doubt it.
It could have been a return, y'know.

This game was actually 5 bucks way back in May when they had their big $5 sale. They must have found a crate of games in the back of a wherehouse recently, and then sent one copy to each store across America.

I managed to pick up a copy as well at the Milwaukee Mayfair location, but it was the only copy there.
It's a fun game and definitely worth the $5. I've played Fire Emblem and hadn't realized that this game was pretty much in the same vein.
Anyway, repost or not, thanks for pointing this one out.

09-27-2004, 04:35 PM
I also picked up a copy, the only one my BB has received in quite a while, they had it in back. bought this for $5 and a PS 2 Dualshock 2 controller for $15, after GGC ;)
I would never have asked about AW 2 had I not seen this topic, thanks!

My Best Buy must have just gotten a copy in today, because it wasn't there this weekend. I pounced on it. Eternal Sunshine was flying off the shelves, but I managed to pick up one of the last Widescreen copies, thankfully. And the new The Used album, which sucks ass so far.

For all of you who still want this game keep checking your BB. The one in fort wayne got 3 copies in sunday, Sadly i got the last one today at the Northcrest store and they are still 4.99

I just went to the Circuit City in Allentown, PA and had them call a few of the Best Buys in the area (apparently they will only price match to a store within 50 miles of it.) Finally, they got a hold of the BB in Montgomeryville, PA that had several copies. After matching the price and beating it by 10%, I picked up two copies for $3.50 each, a great deal for such an addictive little time sucker of a game.

5.00 x 10 % = 50 CENTS how did you get 1.50 knocked off

Pricematching is 10% of the difference, in this case, 10% of 15 bucks.

same. THey would say well they dont have the game in stock. I wonder if a recipt would work. I think i still got mine from picking it up at BB today. I should go over there tomorrow and walk in and say... If i find a lower price will you price match and give 10% more off....
4.99 is a great price for the game but 3.50 is insane (1.50 can get me half a gallon of gas )

Stopped at a BB today and no AW2, but I might go to another one and see if they have it.
Gas is just above $2 here, was $2.14 at one gas station I saw. It rose about $.10 in about a day or two.

I'm visiting my parents up in Richmond for a couple days, so decided to check the Best Buy there since the one nearest to me didn't have it. I was really excited to find a copy in the Richmond Best Buy, so I grabbed it and went to check out. It rang up $20. I decided to go ahead and get it anyway.

I wonder if the Mongtomeryville Best Buy didn't even check when they answered the phone, I was there on October 1st and that Best Buy had no copies of the game. Unless they got a shipment of the game on that Monday when they called.
