I feel like I hit the lottery this weekend. It was so freakin' good as far as deals went.
First, it was The Warriors XBOX new and sealed for $8 yesterday. I got the last one, but NJ CAGgers heads up, read the end of this thread.
Then I went to Game$top to buy a used XBOX console. I know I was in for a crapshoot, but I went into the store armed with a printout of various DVD drives. I was on a mission to not get the Thompson drive. The girl said she'd look at a few consoles for me, but only a few. She got lucky on the first one. I got lucky because it looks like it was barely used. It looks new and shiny. There were barely any saves on the hard drive, and the last one was from in very early 2007. The best part is, it runs like a champ. An absolute champ. I played it constantly all weekend, and the thing doesn't give up. There was also one more pleasant surprise that had me screaming "HOLY SHIT! JACKPOT!" What is it? That's a secret 8-)
With the console, I bought Midnight Club 2, Midway Arcade Treasures 3, and the Jet Set Radio Future/SEGA GT 2002 double pack. With 25% off and tax, Total on that transaction: $60.68
MC2 was bad, though. It looked like it was Disc Doctored, and it just plain wouldn't run. I took it back early this afternoon and got it swapped out. The cool part was that the girl screwed up. She refunded the defective MC2 instead of doing a proper replacement transaction and then in the same transaction I got Project Gotham Racing 1, Project Gotham Racing 2, and BMX XXX (lol). Transaction total: 1.58 because she gave me a free MC2 by mistake.
Finally, I went to the other Game$top and bought an official XBOX controller memory unit, Chronicles of Riddick, and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Transaction total: $8.22
I hit the frickin' jackpot this weekend :D
NJ CAGgers, here's what's up. The Old Bridge Route 9 Pathmark got some games in. It looks like it hasn't been picked through yet, and prices seem decent. They had GBA Capcom Classics Mini-Mix for $8, GBA Max Payne for $5, and three copies of DS Elite Beat Agents (don't remember the price). The sticker on the back of my Warriors said used, but it was new and sealed. I didn't look at the possibility of other games being used, but they didn't scream "used" either when I thumbed through them. I believe I also saw platinum hits Max Payne 1 for XBOX.
