I heard that New Legends should be avoided at all costs. Lots of bugs, but then again I haven't played it.

Is that $4.99 how much they'll pay me to take Aquaman?

/apologies for using your deal post for my standup act

Quantum Redshift is probably worth the $5.

I'll bet FYE gives you more money as a trade in than you'll pay there.

Is $5 Aquaman on Gamecube? I just bought that a couple of weeks from gamestop for $15. It's pretty cool but I'd rather return the used copy and save $10.

QR is worth 5 by far, I'll probably pick up NL, WSB2k3, and College Basketball for those prices as well.

I didn't see the Gamecube version at EB, they were sold out I guess.

You're the first person I've seen mention Aquaman without calling it a steaming pile of **** immediately afterwards. Good job...you must be a very strong-willed person.

Gunvalkyrie is a steal at $4.99.

PsyClerk

I picked up Gunvalkyrie, Quantum Redshift, and Smashing Drive, all marked down. The first two were $5, Smashing Drive was $3. All were brand new.

Also, I saw that Terminator: Dawn of Fate was priced at $12.99, and Terminator 3 was $9.99. All Xbox games. There were also an assload of games marked for clearance at $14.99 and under. PS2 didn't have many for less than $19.99. GCN had maybe one, most of the GCN clearance titles were complete crap.

They had many copies of the clearance titles at EB in Magnolia Mall, Florence, SC as of noon today.

QR is worth the $5, i didnt like GV, but it's worth $5 for trade in alone.

I just got Gunvalkyre and Quantum Redshift...Thanks for the heads up.

I was hoping they'd have Aquaman, I love to buy shitty games at cheap ass prices, there so "fun" to play.

I think Smashing Drive is very under rated and is definetly worth $3. It got bad reviews because it's a port of a short arcade game and it seems like most arcade ports don't get reviewed well unless they have tons of extras. As an arcade fan, I thought it was a lot of fun to play.

I wouldnt mind

World Series Baseball 2K3
NCAA College Basketabll 2K3

for $2.99 a piece.

PsyClerk
04-17-2004, 07:01 PM
Lots of 2003 sports titles marked down. I looked over the GameCube clearance rack and they might have had ONE game under $19.99. Everything else was $19.99. I think some stuff marked clearance might have $24.99 on GCN. Stick with PS2 and Xbox.

did anyone personally get a copy of WSB 2k3 for $2.99?

I can't believe I paid $50 a year ago for that...

Moto GP is 4.99 and yes it applies to All EB's

I stopped by my EB today and picked up WSB 2K3 for $2.99 (last one). The store was out of the other games.

Chances are the price tags were wrong. Some EB stores aren't as quick to change price tags on the game cases. I have noticed quite a few times when other people post EB deals on this board and my local EB has the game but it is tagged for more, it still scans at the correct lower price.

i talked to a manager at the store in St. Louis, no such luck. he said sometimes they will have a sale like that ( i mentioned prices like 5.99, 2.99)

I went to my EB today and they didn't even have one game listed in this thread. Not even any used. Fuck.

I picked up WSB 2K3. It had a sticker of $9.99 but I asked the guy to scan it and it rang up $2.99. None of the games listed were marked at the sales price but I imagine they all wouold ring up correctly. Going back for Moto GP tomorrow

That is if any of the stores still have it. I checked three EBs in Manhattan and not one copy to be found. :cry:

I picked up:

Gun Valkyirie - $4.99
Robotech Battlecry Collector's Edition - $9.99

going back tomorrow to pick up a few more :) WSB2K3 and probably NBA Inside Drive 2003 for $3 a pop, may even get Aquaman just for giggles :D

My EB also had a rack of old PC games for 49 cents apiece...nothing too noteworthy there except a CD-Rom of Lawnmower Man...

04-17-2004, 11:10 PM
I would suggest New Legends. I rented it awhile ago and it was a pretty enjoyable game, DEFINITELY worth $5 or less.

Went to my local EB to pick up World Series Baseball 2K3 for $2.99. OOS. Went to my other EB and grabbed the last copy. The clerk asked me if I would like to purchase the preowned copy and save some money. I told her, the new copy was cheaper. She looked, gasped, and said "you're right!". I handed her a copy of Clone Wars/Tetris in trade and got back a penny in change. What a deal. :)

PsyClerk
04-18-2004, 10:46 AM
Yes, always have the clerk check the price if you see a higher price tag. Every non-display copy of games I got yesterday still had the older, higher price (Quantum Redshift had $16.99).

grandamchandler
04-19-2004, 07:31 AM
Yeah, my copy of whiteout new had a 49.99 price tag on it, scanned 4.99. Word.

I'd imagine they are Xbox, since the title of the post says "xbox games."

Blamo
04-19-2004, 03:02 PM
Yeah, always have them scan. Thats how I snagged Rygar eons ago for $9.99, the $25 sticker make people scared, I suppose :p


A few of those definately look like they should be bought... QR is a steal for $5, as is GUNVALKYIRE. And for $3, I'll try anything ;)

Northside of Indy EB Games, I got the following...

ESPN College Basketball 2k3 2.99
ESPN World Series Baseball (2k3) 2.99
Quantum Redshift 4.99
Moto GP 4.99
Gunvalkye (too lazy to look up spelling)4.99
Some Lotus Car Racing Game 2.99

Guy who rang me up was a little shocked at the prices, since the ALL had higher prices than they rang up with...

Thanks to the original poster for the deal......6 BRAND NEW games for less than $25 is hard to beat....

I went to a local EBG yesterday and the dude was like "Sale prices on Gun Valkyrie and Quantum Redshift? Wha'choo on boy?!" I swear this is not the first time the boneheads at EB look at me like I'm some kind of a mental defective. They always ask me "are you sure it's not an online price?" To which I reply "yes I'm sure dumb-ass!"

These were only temp. price cuts that only lasted about a few days. Still, it even when these were first announced it was an adventure just trying to convince some EB employess to scan them.

05-23-2004, 02:01 PM
how it works is that we drop prices real low for a couple of days and raise them back up to where they were. For example, I got nightfire for 5 dollars; a day later it was back up to 19.99. They do this to move shipment. If you see it posted on here, act fast because the longest these cheap price cuts happen is about 4 to 5 days.
