yup, just got back from my local Gamestop where those two games (effing Gurumin- WTF?!?), which I haven't been able to find online sub-30-ish bucks (w/o using GCH) @ GH-pricing. Is there a universal price-drop coming? Suffice it to say, I bit- on both.

A universal price drop doesn't sound right at all. I just bought Gurumin for $35 +10% off (used) a couple of weeks ago. Also, the game just came out, and according to news, the game is selling out at a lot of places and it is getting harder to find in many areas. Mastiff themselves said they had message after message from people asking where they could buy the game from. I doubt there would be a price drop when it is selling so well 
Maybe it was mismarked?...I've bought a game at Gamestop that was mismarked...a few months back...but they still sold it to me for that price.

Gurumin for $19.99 at Gamestop? Wow, that's pretty HOT! 
I suppose I'll check it out when I go for the B2G1 deal this coming weekend..
But if someone can confirm earlier than that, it would sure help those of us planning on making a trip just to get the game.
Reminds me of when there was a thread about Pirates for PSP for $20, but I never found it at that price at any of the Gamestops around here.

i was actually in shock when I saw them (because I've been looking for both games on the cheap) and did a quadruple-take. lol

This is not YMMV. It was a price change yesterday. Gurumin dropped to $19.99 at all GS/EB locations. Some stored just didn't do their price changes it seems.

Is Gurumin even any good? I remember reading a blurb about it in Game Informer but never read anything else. Seems kind of like a kid's RPG.
Note for everyone getting Capcom Puzzle World, it is ONLY worth it for Super Puzzle Fighter, so you need to ask yourself "Is SPF worth my $20?". The other 4 games in the collection are horrible.

I called my lady friend last night and said my buddy had to beat off on my chest, she is kinda pissed at me, but it was the best idea I had all night, and I stand by it.

Gurumin is quite good, actually. I doubt that this is a universal drop -- more likely GS/EB are just clearing out what they have, so I'd jump on it at $19.99.
Yea... 82% average on Gamerankings is pretty decent.
Seems this one really slipped under the radar.

Awesome - I have been wanting Gurumin since it released, but didn't want to pay $40 for it. I just so happen to have the day off today, so I'm going to be grabbing this one for sure. Thanks (and thanks OP!).

I haven't paid over $20 for any PSP game I've ever gotten, and at this point I think I've gotten every big name (and little game) I was ever interested in except for 1.
PSP games drop price like a brick in the water!
Can't wait for Ratchet and Clank to go $20 and under somewhere now
It really is asinine that people keep thinking they'll get $40 for these. Gurumin sales will probably skyrocket now.

I was about to say I paid $40 for LocoRoco, but I got it from Rhino (RIP) with credit, and using their trade-in deals I never paid full price for games there.
So yeah, I've never paid $40 for a PSP game either. IMO, that's just too much for a portable game.

Thanks OP! I'm going to head in to EB today for Gurumin. I've had my eyes on it, but $40 is too much whereas $20 is perfect.

I actually paid $40 for a few PSP games, like Monster Kingdom: JS, since only Fry's (2 hours away from me) and 1 EB carried it near me, and there's no way I wanted to miss out on owning the game.I was about to say I paid $40 for LocoRoco, but I got it from Rhino (RIP) with credit, and using their trade-in deals I never paid full price for games there.

Im going to grab a copy while I am at work today, but this is a universal price drop for GS/EB. I changed the price on it to $19.99 yesterday at my store and was pretty suprised to see it drop to $20 so quickly, but it's probably due to poor sales at GS/EB, my store never even sold a copy.

Global, eh? I almost picked this up a few days ago and now I'm glad I didn't. I'll probably wait a little bit longer and hope that this is a universal price drop for the game itself as I'd rather not shop at Gamestop or any other chains they own. ~_~

from what I've heard, Gurumin is far above average, totally AAA ARPG material, and your loss @ $19.99 clams + tax- as it is well worth its initial asking. I also heard that if you're a Zelda fan you'll love Gurumin, depending on your POV. lol
hmm. I don't know, it really does depend. For me personally, I'll gladly pay $40/exceed that for a game I consider 'must have' (MH:F, VP:L, Tales of Eternia, etc...) but do my best to find other games I consider 'must have' @ a massive value (Gundame Battle Royale, LocoRoco, Syphon Filer: DM (non-gh), Puzzle Quest, etc...) to balance things out.

Probably depends on your playstyle. I'm much more of a console gamer than I am a portable gamer, so when the price gets up to $40 I can't help but think that I can get a console game for that (Odin Sphere is going to be $40, for example). Jean d'Arc is probably the only PSP game coming out this year that I would seriously consider paying full price for, and that's just because I'm such a big Level-5 fan.
Oh, and I don't think this needs further confirmation at this point, but I just got back from grabbing Gurumin for $19.99 from my local EB.
