Man, these guys blow. $55.99 for NFL Blitz 2002, Smashing Drive, and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. And I'm not talking for all three, I'm talking $55.99 EACH! Even Turok Evolution is going for $56.99! Yanya Caballista is 54, Freaky Flyers is 56, 007 Nightfire is 57...the crap just keeps on flowing.

When they went out of business in my area, I grabbed a PO FFX *International* for about $20. One of my best finds ever. :)

Also got 2 or 3 of the Sopranos sets for cheap. So they may suck online, but they rock when they go out of business. :P

They're cheap where it counts. POP:WW is $39. Those complete N64 games for $1.99.. insane.

Well, if it still sells for full price (why I doubt it is), why lower it? Not like they're forcing you to shop there. :)

Yeah, but they can usually be better for trade-in value which you can in turn apply to a regularly priced DVD if you want. I got 8 bucks for Amped 1 and 7.50 for World Series 2k3.

THis isn't really necessary in my area, as they give cash.

They really use to have cool stores though before they closed them all. They had a nice selection of music, DVDs, games and anime and also PORN! :twisted:

I traded in a bunch of stuff to them that I was done with. I got $25.00 for Jedi Outcast for Xbox, $20.00 for the GC one, and then like $30.00 for Zelda: Wind Waker. I ended up getting about $100.00 credit from them, and ordered Metroid Prime 2. I am still sitting on another $50.00. I am thinking about grabbing either RE4 when that comes out, or PoP: TWW.

Strange Violetn Lee, I was just looking at that same site today. Most of their prices are horrendous but they did have $2 complete N64 games for a while there. I guess that makes up for their crappy prices on the rest of their stuff. Most of their PSone games (i.e. FFVII-IX) are still I think it was iether $30-35.

Don't forget the Spiderman 2 DS $3.99 fiasco.

that's not entirely correct (it could be a YMMV). at the wherehouse in redwood city area, ca, they ONLY give store credit on games; cd's and dvd's still qualify for cash. (don't ask me why)

The last time I checked, the nearby Wherehouse had new non-Player's Choice copies of Super Mario Sunshine and Starfox Adventures at $49.99, sitting next to new Player's Choice copies at $19.99. :lol:

I also saw a used Go! Go! Hypergrind at $45.99 used - I'm sure that's a lot more than it ever sold for new.

I used to get some decent deals on used CDs but even they aren't good for that anymore. The last great deal I've gotten at Wherehouse was when they had a sale on used DVDs and I got Family Guy Volume 1 for $26 or so. I usually only check Wherehouse nowadays if I'm looking for a certain item and can't find it somewhere else.
