My order of the 70 PS2 games just arrived at my house. Looking through the bunch, there's some really good tittles that, from the looks of it, are guaranteed to work (Xenosaga 3 Disk One, Grand Turismo 3 as well as 4, All the GTA's, Final Fantasy X, etc.) but there are also a good amount that I immediately scrapped.

I don't know how much'll work, but I'll post my findings later. Also, instead of trying them in my PS2, I'll just try to copy them via my PC onto my PS2's harddrive. It's safer, and I'm pretty sure the success rate will go up by a good amount in if I was to try them on my PS2.

Edit: Looing through the list of games, I found a few OG Xbox titles (about 3-5). I'm not mad in the least since they are alright games (GTA Vice city, Need for Speed: Most Wanted just to name some) and are in good condition. Plus I have a 360, so I ain't that bad. But just be prepared for the shitstorm some people will raise about them not being PS2 titles.

Received my Just Cause 2 today... and it's the PAL version of the game. Not NTSC-J as I had assumed it would be. Nowhere on the product page was it, or is it, listed that this is the PAL version and not NTSC, so it is unplayable on consoles in the United States. I suppose we were supposed to infer from the little (I) in the product title that it was International and thus PAL? I think you're going to have a lot of disappointed American customers here. I purchased Bad Company 2 Limited Edition from gamedealdaily when it first was the daily deal and that game had the same product page description as Just Cause 2 regarding the Asian text on the game case and manual. Battlefield arrived as NTSC-J which of course worked fine on my console. In fact, this copy of Just Cause 2 has NO Asian text whatsoever which, in my opinion, suggests that something is wrong here.

Should I have been aware of this and I'm just whining about my own foolishness or is anybody else in the same boat?

cool giveaways, gona join the forums today

Here is the description in the OP:

"This is the UK version of Just Cause 2 for the XBox 360. The PAL version is nearly identical to the American version; it has English text and voices, English writing on the cover and manual, and the same online and achievement functionality. The game disc works perfectly inside any American XBox 360 system."

We sold out of Assassin's Creed II, so now we've put up a deal for Modern Warfare 2 for 360.

Just Cause 2 is region-free, so the PAL version will work fine in an American XBox 360 console.

Apologies, didn't see that description in OP, just went to the website when the deal was announced, and the descriptions don't match. Glad to hear it's region-free, I had no idea that was possible. I'll test it after work tonight, then again my Xbox has been refusing to spin discs lately... :/

Updated with today's deal on No More Heroes for Wii.

Updated with today's deal on the 20 disc PS2 as-is grab bags.

20 disc only PS2 games... I like to take chances, but I may have let this slide right on by. I already have most of the PS2 games that I enjoyed the most, which includes several of those pictured on the site.

I'm not expecting a reply here, but this WILL only have PS2 games right? Because I did the 70 cracked PS2 grab bag and 4 out of the 70 were Xbox games.

Yeah, these are only PS2 games.

Whoa, you actually replied. Well, can you answer this question for me, if I was told what I was to buy would be 70 PS2 games, how come 4 of those were Xbox titles?

I don't mind, but I'd just like to know.

I bet the PS2 games deal is mostly sports games.

Well don't be expecting Ico or Shadow of the Colossus. He knows what those are worth and won't be including them in a bundle like this.

I bet you never learned how to read.

As said in the OP: "There will be no more than two dated sports titles in each lot; there will be a good variety of games". I'm really tempted to get in on this... as others have said though, I own most of the games I would ever want for the PS2.

We're about 25% sold out of the grab bags. They might make it until noon tomorrow, but a sellout seems possible.

Fruck yeah! I wanna win Scooby Doo! Total zoinks

I'd love to buy the 20 random PS2 discs, but I remember buying the 75 scratched Xbox discs a few months ago and not a single one of em worked...

DONT BUY THE 20 RANDOM DISCS! I bought 40 ps2 discs a while back and NOT ONE SINGLE ONE WORKED. Game Deal Daily can suck a nut. You guys ripped everyone off who bought those. You knew damn well they didn't work and sold them to us anyway. ing unethical business pricks

EDIT: I know you're gonna say "well they were sold AS-IS" and that is complete BS. You guys have a pile of discs there and you were totally like "How can we offload these discs that don't work and still make a profit?" "OH I KNOW! Let's pretend some might work and sell them AS-IS for super cheap to tempt people." SOOOOOO sketchy... Definitely lost a customer here with that kind of a business attitude

*sigh* yep, no reply to my question, huh...

Not surprised, really.
