CC is advertising 2 $19.99 games for $30. However, if you add 2 titles it's taking off $20 (making it 2 for $20, instead of 2 for $30.) It's not working on every $20 game, but it's seems to be working on a lot of games. So far I've seen these work:

Circuit City.com

Pokemon Fire Red (Game Boy Advance)
Super Mario World Advance 2 (Game Boy Advance)
Big Brain Academy (Nintendo DS)
Bully with E-music Exclusive (PlayStation 2) *this one is actually 2 for $10
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PSP)

Got my sixth game, Bully, today. GH again.

Is the code for the emusic downloads in the box (I usually keep my games sealed until I'm ready to play); are they even included in the GH package?
 
[quote name='TrunksSSJ23']What's wrong with getting the GH packages though?[/quote] For one, they don't look the same as the non GH versions on your shelf. Some people are bothered by this, others are not. I would just prefer if they stuck a GH sticker on them instead like they do sometimes with the leftover normal edition games when that game goes GH.
 
So basically it comes with all of the contents the regular game would come with? Meaning the instructional manual, and still sealed up right?

Well, yeah. Sometimes there might be slight differences like the manual being printed in black and white instead of color, or the disks being a different color but the game is the same. And of course the outside packaging says 'Greatest Hits' or 'Player's Choice' etc.
 
All I can say is don't get discouraged. Check the site every few hours, as far as I can tell the glitch is still alive but finding 2 matching games can be rough.

Xbox and 360 is 2 for $30
PS2/3 is 2 for $26ish
PSP is 2 for $20

Wanted to try Wii but never found 2 19.99 games in stock.

As far as out of stock be very careful, I've added games to my cart while they were in stock. Then when you get to the screen where you enter your email, make sure it still says in stock.

If not you'll get screwed if you go through with your order, as you'll lose on of your pair and be charged $19.99 for its buddy.
 
Dang, I'm gonna see if this still works and if I can find anything at all still in stock. If I'd hit this early, I probably would have bought out the place, sheesh. Great glitch. Stick it to the man. :)
 
I used it this morning and it still worked, I got Spectrobes and Super Mario Advance for 19.99.

You have to work fast when ordering so you don't get screwed or something doesn't go out of stock when you order.

Its hard to find 2 matching games with their low stock numbers though...

now i have no problem exploiting glitches but in the end we are sticking it to ourselves, not "the man". these things end up raising prices and butchering return policies...so benefit whilte you still can!

Yeah, I guess you're probably right about that. The less we pay for games, the less they make, and the less they have to charge.

Or... if we refuse to buy games at full price, maybe they'll charge less in general?

What bugs me is that the MSRP of games held pretty steady for the last 15 years at $39.99-49.99, but with the PS3 and Xbox 360, it's increased to $59.99 to make up for the debt the hardware manufacturers incur. Now when I see a new Xbox 360 game at $49.99, I think "deal!". That's sad. I resent the $10 hike. I don't really know what to do about it, though, other than wait for price drops.

For the record, I didn't benefit from the CC glitch; everything's already gone. :)

And I think used games, and buying used games, hurt us more in the long run than bargain deals. The only people making money off used games is the middle man: Gamestop etc.
 
Dammit, all week i was checking my cart, where i had Shadow of the Colossus and Resident Evil 4.... they were both marked as $9.99, but out of stock and unavailable in store.

I happened to go in a CC yesterday, and they had stacks of both at full price. I asked if they'd pm my online price, and they'd only do 2 for $30, which I didn't want.

Now this morning my cart shows both at full price again.

Boo...

Well, $15 each is still a pretty good deal.
