[quote name='AngellicLulu'][quote name='m1lesteg'][quote name='Mr. Anderson'][quote name='Rig']It may have been posted in here, but hell, a lot of people still want this:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/232735.asp

Hell, it's been moved down to $30 new.

$24.99 before savings.[/quote]

YES![/quote]

I payed nearly twice as much for a copy. I can safely say it was not worth it. For under 20 AC, though, yeah.[/quote]
yep... preordered it... played it for 3 hours.... haven't picked it up since.[/quote]

You're probably about halfway through the main quest, then. Might as well finish it. :wink:
 
[quote name='resonatorxl']Blaster Master for NES is in stock if anyone's interested.[/quote]

Master Blaster may still be the hardest game i've ever played. I get shivers just thinking about it.

I remember that game beating the crap out of me too, but it sure was fun to play. I'd like to pick up the GBA version whenever it comes back in stock.

I'm not sure. If it is I'll be happy. Even if it just plays like the original I'm good.
 
[quote name='rockhero']Well, ebgames asked CheapyD to ask me to stop running the script I wrote to check for the rare games, so I'm going to take it down when I get home from work today. Funny thing is that I haven't run it personally for months..

Just letting you guys know.[/quote]

This sucks. That's horrible. I don't know what the big deal of using the tool was, maybe it taxed EB.com too much or something like that but that just sucks. Such an awesome tool rockhero. It will be greatly missed.

Any idea as to why they would want you to take it down? I thought it would have actually promoted people to buy from EB.com since they would buy all kinds of games that they put up.

Maybe you can ask the webmaster about this? I wonder would he reconsider letting that srcipt run if I ask him nicely.
 
Fatal Frame 2 for Xbox is in stock used, I've been waiting for this forever. Its $34.99 before coupons, $26.24 a/c.

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/244322.asp

Its $26.99 for the PS2 version.
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/237578.asp


And if the news is true about Spikeout, I would preorder immediately. Any preorder deals going on, free shipping maybe? I'll cancel and reorder if one comes up.
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255825.asp


As for the script, it was probably taxing on the site. I was noticing a ton of slowdown on the site a little after it would update, probably from a lot of people running the script at once. It might have been different had it only run once a day, and just showed everyone what it found at the time it was run.

A hundred people checking a hundred pages simultaneously... Could have been very taxing.

A hundred people checking a hundred pages..........oh wait nevermind I was thinking of monkeys on typewriters.
 
[quote name='whitereflection'][quote name='evilmax17']Eek, I was gonna jump on Virtual On, but 56% at gamerankings, maybe not.[/quote]

How much was it?[/quote]

I believe it was $9.99 before coupons...
 
[quote name='drfrielgood']Has there even been an update yet this morning? Ahhh, must get back to bed soon![/quote]

I know what you're saying. Their stock is so pooor lately it's hard to tell anymore.
 
They updated late this morning, around 6:30. Must have scared eveyrone off, because I managed to pick up Koudelka, Bomberman Party, Brave Fencer, Fatal Fury MotW, and Gunbird 2...

I actually thought to myself last week, "I wonder if they might start doing random updates throughout the day to throw off dealers." Not sure if this is an isolated one day thing but it looks like I might have to stay up a little longer for the games I want.
 
nice price on bust a move! if i didnt have sbam1 i would pick up 2 at that price in a second.

and thank you for helping keep this thread relevant!

it seems thats since eb banned the script everyones given up on posting deals here because you actully have to look for them ^^

[quote name='Strider Turbulence'][quote name='CouRageouS']how much was Super Bust a Move 2 before it went OOS?[/quote]

$9.99[/quote]

$10?!? Last week it was $16.99!
 
[quote name='Doylerulez'][quote name='evilmax17']Was CT preowned or no[/quote]
Was new, I'll update the post.[/quote]

*Dies*

I'm going to pretend that EB made a mistake in the price and yoinked it real quick. After all, why would they update the website if they only had 1 new copy of the game? It was S/O like 3 minutes after it was posted.

*Gently weeps*

Damn now I gotta watch this too. Does it have any significantly new features that make it more fun, or will I be set with Bust a Move 1 at $12.99? The gamer in me just wants to play the game but the collector in me wants both, especially since 2 is out of stock :evil:
 
Picked by the last Point Blank 3 for playstation new for $26.99 this morning. Hated to pay that price but I have never seen the game anywhere,
