CAG proves again why it's the best site for gamers with little cash.

Shameless comment just so I can get another ticket. Free video games rule! CAG is the best!

Congratulations CheapyD. Make sure to give Mrs. Cheapy whatever she wants for the next month or so - she deserves it :)

I realize that, but after losing a few similar buys on Craigslist recently I stopped trying to lowball when I knew the collection was worth much more than the asking price. There are too many other CAG/collectors in my area who know the value of these things to get an unbelievable deal. A $20...

I got lucky this week on Craigslist. Saw a guy advertising old PS1 games for $5, or 3 for $10. I offered and paid $50 for the lot. Just made the exchange, and here's what I got: Command and Conquer Tekken 2 Resident Evil 2 Chrono Cross Kartia: The Word of Fate Final Fantasy Origins Final...

In for one, thanks OP! This was pretty high on my list of games to buy this month and I was pretty disappointed that none of the major retailers had a price break. This is almost as good. I've got plenty of backlog to play until it arrives!

Nintendo can't keep the Wii on store shelves at its current price of $250. Every shipment is sold out in a matter of hours unless you're in the middle of nowhere. What possible reason would Nintendo have to drop the price?

Horrible deal. The PS3 HDD is user-upgradable - google around for "PS3 hdd upgrade" and you'll find directions. It uses a standard 2.5" SATA drive and formats the drive based on the firmware. The additional 20 GB of space for $40 is just not worth it. If you find yourself downloading a lot...

...and $40 at Best Buy next week. Seems like GRAW2 isn't selling as well as somebody had hoped.

I've had Gamefly twice, each time for about a year. The first time I cancelled because Everquest swallowed my soul and I wasn't playing the rented games anymore. The second time I cancelled because I found CAG and started buying way way way too many games that I would have normally rented, so...

Scattered thunderstorms in my area today so I didn't have a chance to get out this weekend. There didn't seem to be many good sales anyways.

They haven't shipped Forza or my wheel yet. It's been on "Sent to Warehouse" for the past 2 days.

Picked up the wheel, PGR3 (comes with the wheel, unless the box has changed) and Forza 2 for $144.88 shipped. I finally bit. Thanks!

Here's a description of a gameplay level from the guys at Penny Arcade. This will either turn you off to the game or make you cry for joy and thank whatever Deity you believe in for just the thought of a game like this. I think you can guess which category I fall into...

I'd be very careful about buying a second-hand 360 right now. Microsoft just started cracking down on the modchip scene and have banned thousands of consoles (not users, consoles) from Xbox Live. There's no way to get unbanned, and they ban by the unique ID of the console so changing out a HDD...
