Hastings posted a buy 1, get 1 free used PS2 games deal on their Facebook page that's only valid today, 9/5. Still have to pay shipping. It's online only, and a limit of 2 per cart. Here's the text from their post:


Today's Video Game Daily Deal: Buy 1 Get 1 Free PS2 Games on goHastings.com with promo code: BOGOPS2. Online Only - Limit 2 of one title per cart. Valid today only!

Link: http://www.gohastings.com/department/GAME.uts

I got Gradius V and Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 for $28 shipped. Couldn't believe they were in stock.

Are these guaranteed complete or is it YMMV?

YMMV. Everything I've ever bought from Hastings online has been complete, sometimes still new and sealed. This is from 20-30 different titles I've purchased. Other people, especially with very popular titles, end up with generic cases or missing manuals.

I rolled the dice on this. Hopefully enough of them complete complete and in good condition to justify the purchase. I got for $29 shipped:

Final Fantasy X-2
Destroy All Humans! 2
Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
Drakengard
Demon Stone
Red Faction II

I believe the limit was on a specific game. You couldn't get more than 2 of the same title.

I think he's meaning more for the fact that it's PS2 games not in general.

They claim to have Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 and Dot Hack: Mutation in stock.

Thanks. Yeah, I realized that when I saw the actual banner text on the site. It wasn't clear from the OP.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on Radiata Stories and Drakengard 2 for $12.50 shipped. Yea or nay?

Only thing I wanted was Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories and it sold out while I was browsing for something to be free with it. Oh well.

Radiata Stories is well worth it, solid game and the battle system is a nice change from the standard JRPG flair.

damn.. goHastings is really getting most of my money for ps2 games... just bought 8 more for my collection.

Looks like this works on systems as well. I've been looking for a cheap PS2 slim for a while now.

It brings it to about $40 each, which isn't drastically cheaper than most prices (usually $50-$60), but it's still a good deal.

Makes me wish there was KH collection on :\

Damn, sold out of Dirge of Cerberus. :(

This doesn't work for me on games rated M, it says "This item is only available for purchase by customers age 17 and older." I'm obviously older than that, it will let me place the order, but won't apply the discount, only works for non M games. Anyone know how to fix this?

Theres a box to check to say that you are 17 and over on the shopping cart screen.

Ok thanks, I saw the box before, but couldn't get it to work for some reason, I was probably just being stupid, its working fine now.

almost every game i want is sold out, and shipping sorta kills the deal for me

Yeah...that's the problem with these sales. I had four games in my cart for $11.96, and shipping was $9.10. Seeing shipping equate to almost half of my order total just gets me down. =\

By the way, wasn't there a goHastings deal thread? Did someone get all pissy and close it? lol

(Wow, they actually did... http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=281156)

Well...I looked through once more and found Stella Deus and Magna Carta, so I got both of them for $18.05 shipped. I think they were both the last of stock, because after I ordered I refreshed my wish list and they were listed as OOS. Hopefully the order still goes through...
