Definitely glad I caught wind of this. My PS2 library has been pedantic for the longest time.

$0.99 buys:

Ace Combat 4
Airblade
Dropship: United Peace Force
Enter the Matrix
GoDai: Elemental Force*
Intellivision Lives
Kengo: Master of Bushido
Mad Maestro
Reign of Fire*
Shifter
Taito Legends 1*
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions

BG2G stuff (>$0.99):
Extermination
Genji: Dawn of the Samurai
King Arthur
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Warriors of Might & Magic*
Nightshade
Terminator: Dawn of Fate
Turok: Evolution
Winback

The *'d games are ones I ordered online and am still waiting to arrive, since there weren't any copies available here. Aside from LOTR (which I had a lot of fun doing co-op with when it first came out), I've never played any of these personally but have heard of some of them. It's gonna be fun giving these all a spin and seeing if some of the more budget ones are as bad as I've heard. I'm almost tempted to go back one more time this weekend and comb through the $0.99 ones again, but I can't really see my backlog as it is right now getting exhausted any time soon.

Maybe some $0.99 games I'd recommend to be on the lookout for are Taito Legends 2 (newer compilation of games compared to TL1) and Eternal Ring (PS2 launch title based on the King's Field engine). I picked up both of those before the sale started but I've already gotten a lot of play out of them.

You found Airblade. I've been looking for that one since I heard about this sale. I almost picked up another 5 pack today from my closest GS(which is also the newest), which would've included Godai: Elemental Forces and Trivial Pursuit Unhinged.

I also saw that Stuntman Ignition is one of the $1.99 games and almost picked that up with The Getaway and two other titles for $4.

But I haven't even tested the 10 I bought the other day.

There were several copies of Airblade here. Anything that looks like a more futuristic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is worth a try in my book.

Checking their site again, there's a couple B2G2s I may yet consider picking up depending on how I feel after this weekend.

In stock here:
Activision Anthology
Bard's Tale
Death by Degrees
Goblin Commander
Onimusha
Midway Arcade Treasures 3
Rygar
Wrath Unleashed

And others I'd either have to order online or see if the store here can get in from other places:
Crimson Sea 2
Dragon Rage
Ecco the Dolphin
Rune: Viking Warlord

I probably wouldn't be considering doing all this if I didn't have a bunch of credit sitting there right now, but it's tempting to say the least.

I saw a copy of the original Midway Treasures(the one with Rampage on it) at the store I hit up last night. It was actually complete for $5.99. Once I get another eRewards gc I may have to look into grabbing a copy of it.

Ha! Speaking of Rampage.....I forgot I have Rampage:Total Destruction. Fun game! Haven't played it in forever!

ephemeral fantasia [i dont think i ever heard of this one]
castle shikigami 2 [NEVER heard of this one]
ribbit king [has ANYONE heard of this one? a double disc version? a thought or a rule. no game titled ribbit King should ever have a 2 disc version. or even a 1 disc version]

most of these games i havent even seen a screenshot from let alone played or read a review of, but hey, 20 cents a pop.

i think i am doing ONE more run.

I left behind a Virtua fighter 4 and 69 racing games


still it was fun.
thanks gamestop

So are these games in a bin or in paper sleeves or what?

sleeves

I stopped by my local Gamestop to see if they had any decent PS2 stuff left and was told that they have games in back, but they're no longer in the system and they can only be shipped out to other stores. :S

Plus I can't seem to get the deal to work on Gamestop.com.
Is there some kind of promotion/coupon code I need to enter?
I add 4 pre-owned PS2 games to my cart and it takes 10% off each one with my PowerUp card, but there's no mention of the B2G2 (I know the 5 for 99¢ is in-store only).
I think my account it screwed up b/c I get an error whenever I try to checkout too.
Barf. :(

Wasn't that the one where they tried making it so you had more than one row of buildings to annihilate on each level? As it stands, I also have the Arcade Party Pak from PS1 which has Rampage, Klax and some other games on it. I think I only ever really played those two games out of all of them though.

I saw and left behind Silent Scope 2 at another GS the other day. That too is also a $.99 game. I also saw some Lego Soccer Mania game, but that was a $1.99 title.

grabbed five more for a buck.

crouching tiger, hidden dragon
headhunter
blowout
nascar heat 2002
another copy of okage

Got:
Ridge Racer V -but there was a stain on it and it's broken. :(
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3
Winning Eleven 6
Robotech Battlecry
Eternal Ring

Thinking about getting Shadow of Destiny and Steambot Chronicles. Good games?

Going to check another GS while I drop my brother off for Confirmation Class.

EDIT: Went, didn't find any. My quest for Metal Arms did not go well. :(

If anyone wants me to, I could make a 5/$1 PS2 trading thread in the deal/shopping discussion section(that a mod would likely move to the master trade list section later on) so that those who missed out on X or Y game could put up a post requesting those games.

EDIT: Alright. For as much as I said I wasn't gonna help out round here when I came back from my two week hiatus, here's the PS2 game trading thread for this sale(currently located in Deals/Shopping Discussion).

Thanks OP. I was just a little curious of what my local store would have today. I figured I'd find 5 games that I wanted. I ended up buying 80 games total. I pretty much just bought 1 of each .99 cent game that wasn't scratched. That's the first time I've ever bought 80 games for less than $16.

Yup! That's the one!

Does anyone know what the sale is tommorow? I dropped by after seeing loopers today and the manager said to come back tommorow, no wink, nod or shhh motions. I asked if it would include the cased games but he said no and all I could get out of him was that the salel will be better tommorow.

I kinda wanted to try that game out, but not at the current $5-6 I think it's listed at on the GS website. Maybe the next time I'm able to get an eRewards gift card I'll splurge and grab that, Midway Arcade Treasures(original one with the old Rampage) and the Aqua Teen Hunger Force golf game.
