Universal Price Drops: October 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. Last month's list (http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33370)

October 2004
Animal Crossing (GC) $20
Crimson Skies (Xbox) $20
Galleon (Xbox) $30
Kirby Air Ride (GC) $20
Mario Golf (GC) $20
Maximo: Army of Zin (PS2) $20
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (GC) $30
Sudeki (Xbox) $30
Super Mario Sunshine (GC) $20
Wario World (GC) $20
Zelda: Wind Waker (GC) $20

[jlarlee]

It seems like Manhunt is now at $20 in quite a few locations seems to be a recent change in price to me.

[bmulligan]

What about Wind Waker? I just saw it at Meijer for 19.99 AND Gamestop for 19.99 also.

[dracula]

windwaker is fifteen at best buy with the gamer card, and yeah it has the players choice packaging, at least at my bb

Which version of bond,everything or nothing is the best? ps2,xbx or gamecube?


sudeki is down to thirty

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/233693.asp

so is galleon

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=210657

[el bobo]

Sudeki, I may get that... Is it action based or is it Turn based?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

sudeki is down to thirty

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/233693.asp


Might be time to pick it up.

[hiccupleftovers]

I hadn't known that Galleon went down....Well I guess it's ime to get it after GGC.

[Vampire Hunter D]

I like that Windwaker and Supermario Sunshine. Gotta pick those up some time. Didnt SMS come out like 2 years ago?

[tcrash247]

Is Kirby's Air Ride any good?

[Scorch]

Wow, glad I dumped Sudeki when I did.

EDIT: Looks like Full Spectrum took a hit to 34..

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/236812.asp?siteID=FKSJxY2VJAk-r0obMRd1AlM4FuBkP8jI1A

Looks like GTA Double Pack took a hit to 39 (XBox) and Street is finally retailing for $20. 007 EoN might be $20 as well. Anyone confirm these?

[Zarkon]

EoN and Street are both $20 at Wal-Mart, although we haven't gotten the GCPC changes, or the Zelda/Kirby Air Ride changes either. However, Spider-Man 2 (PS2/XBX/GC) is down to $40 and Doom 3 (PC) is down to $40 as well.

[Scorch]

Spider-Man 2 is still $49.99 at EB, Gamestop, and everywhere else..

[Mishimaryu]

Sudeki still seems to be 49.99 at bestbuy sounds tempting at 29.99 but not cheap enough..

[cyberlian]

Mario Golf is a worthy purchase for $20

[Noriyuke]

Does That version of animal Crossing still come with the free 59 block mem card?

[DenisDFat]

YES

[dserafin1986]

It seems these have dropped as well:

Fight Night 2004 (Xbox) - $30
Project Gotham 2 (Xbox) - $20
Top Spin (Xbox) - $20

[cruzincontrol]

I hope that's true about that Animal Crossing including the Memory Card 59? If so I'll pick it up soon (was going to anyway but Memory Card sweetens the deal)....

[Trakan]

It does come with the Memory card.

[FunkSoulBrother]

It does come with a memory card, but it's not like you'll be able to use it for anything else besides Animal Crossing, since the game takes up all 59 blocks to save.

[kidkash03]

Hm, Crimson Skies and Top Spin for $20 each finally.

I might have to pick one or both up. Anybody know if the Best Buy Bucks in the McDonald's Monopoly contest work on games?

[KrazyKefka]

It does come with a memory card, but it's not like you'll be able to use it for anything else besides Animal Crossing, since the game takes up all 59 blocks to save.

At least it'll save 59 blocks on my main memory card. I think it's about time I picked this one up.

[craven_fiend]

the best buy bucks work on everything at bestbuy. so yes games are included

[CaseyRyback]

Maximo:Army of Zin went to 20 today

[Mospeada_21]

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow on GC dropped to $29.99. GameCrazy, Best Buy..... (pretty quick eh, only 2 months after its uber delayed release)

Good game to pick up at BB with GGC, if you're a fan of the first SC.

Edit: yes, XBox version rules.

[Blamo]

Top Spin and Wind waker look tempting...

[SEGA128DC]

Yeah, Top Spin does look tempting, indeed...

[Alien Spider]

Maximo:Army of Zin went to 20 today

It's about time! I'll definitely be picking this one up in the future.

[Masterkyo]

Dynasty Warriors 4 $20 (Greatest Hit )

[FunkSoulBrother]

NFL Street for all consoles is now $20, but I'm not too sure if this is a new deal. Anyway, I just noticed it now.

[Zarkon]

Wal-Mart dropped NBA Ballers (X-Box and PS2) to $29.xx, MX Unleashed to $19.xx (PS2, maybe X-Box), Hitman Contracts to $29.xx (PS2/X-Box).

SSX3 and Smackdown HCTP are showing up with GH packaging now, also.

[argyle]

Is Kirby's Air Ride any good?

I had more fun w/ KAR than I did w/ the latest Mario Kart. The racing is fun, but the City Trial mode is what really makes the game - especially multi-player. I recommend it to anyone looking for something that's not your typical kart racer.

[Gojtron]

That's trash that SSBM didn't drop.

[kburger]

Sudeki is $30 at Gamerush and is currently part of the trade in any two games and get half off the "best" of 2004. You get the trade in value of the two games plus half off select games. I dumped two old sports titles and paid $1.50 of the $15 for Sudeki. Seemed like a good deal to me!

[videokidandrew]

Crimson Skies is so mine.

[craven_fiend]

I don't remember seeing this, so I'll post it. It seems like Final Fantasy X-2 has made the price drop to 19.99 just about everywhere. I know its in the Best Buy thread for this week, but I saw it at Target today as well. I didn't bother going to EB as I had no desire to go there today.

[WarrenGekko]

I can't wait till Pandora Tommorrow is $20 for PS2

[Vtdgnca]

I've been seeing Front M 4 for PS2 go down to 19.99 at gamestop and EB games in store.

[SEGA128DC]

I can't wait till Pandora Tommorrow is $20 for PS2

I can't wait till Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow is $20 for the Xbox...:wink:

[chickenhawk]

Transformers is now $19.99 at BB so this probably can be added to the universal drop list. The Suffering (PS2) is $19.99 there too.

[hutno]

Psi ops dropped to $20

[hiccupleftovers]

I don't mean to be picky but umm CheapyD shouldn't you make another thread for NOvember 2004?
