CAG is the reason why I currently have 47 Sealed games. It's also the reason why I say TRU instead of Toys R Us and sometimes slip a ShaqFu in a conversation. The only bad thing about CAG is the fact I play less games because i'm on here looking for deals instead
Free Copy of Madden 2006 for 360!

Dude, you giving away Madden 360 is almost as good as waking up to find baby Jesus underneath my tree in a blanket made of gold and platinum with a sign that says "Take me in and I shall grant you your fondest wishes and forgive you your sins, yes even the porn you were looking at the other day" and it was proclaimed to be good. Amen.
One of the first places I checked out when I got the internet at my current location was CAG. I saw that in EGM people posted awesome deals like Panzer Dragoon Orta for $14.99 . Since then I've gotten a ton of great deals like a used Sega Genesis for $12.99, Metroid Prime 2 for $14.99, a used PSOne LCD screen for $22.99 and that only scratches the surface on my mind. I'm not all take though. If I see something cheap somewhere I tell about it. From DR. Mario/ Puzzle League for $12.49, used GCN extension cables for a dollar and used DS games at good prices I've done my share. The site truly is like karma. My name is Earl,,, oh wait that's Whipsmartbanky.
Before I found CAG, I owned a Nintendo Gamecube and less than five games for it.
I now own all three systems, with the following game breakdown:
PS2: 138 games
XB: 90 games
GCN: 64 games
And those numbers don't even include the games that I got from this recent TRU sale.
That pretty much sums up my thoughts on CAG.

The Rock says CAG is so good, you can take the Rock's $500 shirt, $900 Brahma Bull Belt, Dust em all off, shine em up real nice, turn em sideways and stick em straight up a Shirley Temple Ice Cream Sammich and it still won't rock your mom's socks off as much as CAG!

Without CAG, I wouldn't be so broke... but at least I'm getting tons of great games in the process. Without CAG, I don't know where I would go to complain about how Microsoft can't seem to get their 
ing act together and send me a damn box for my broken 360. Every time I try and bitch about it with the customer service reps, the phone goes *click*.
CAG is made up of a great community of people willing to help each other (and bitch at each other about grammar mistakes and moral ethics). I don't think there's any other forum where you can find a huge thread solely about situations where people crapped their pants.

Cheapass Gamer resparked my interest in gaming all together. Great community, full of nice and helpful people. I have found Unbelievable deals thanks to everyone here. There's no place around the web like this one. I want to thank everyone for all the great deals and making me a CAG. Continue rocking those socks off!

If you give it to me I will upload a video of me breaking it with a hammer with CAG written on it. If it sweetens the deal I will pee on it.
On a related note, today, after finishing all of my Christmas shopping I finished the month with $1,000 more than I expected. I have to thank CAG for helping me save money so much over the last two months. I've bought 2 360s, 2 DS's, and a ton of games for both and still have plenty of cash left to blow on a new PC.
w00t to CAG!

Only on CAG would you see someone be this nice during the holiday season.
I've interacted in many forums over the web, and I've never met a better bunch of people online. Filled with smart, informative people (for the most part), I'm proud to be able to interact with all of you.
Good luck everyone that is involved in this, and to every CAGer, have a great and safe holiday season and lets hope the deals get even better in 2006!

Cheapy D was born into a mildly prosperous Virginia farming family in 1732. After his father died when Cheapy was eleven, Cheapy's mother, Mary, a tough and driven woman, struggled to hold their home together with the help of her two sons from a previous marriage. Although he never received more than an elementary school education, young Cheapy displayed a gift for mathematics. This knack for numbers combined with his quiet confidence and ambition caught the attention of Lord Fairfax, head of one of the most powerful families in Virginia. While working for Lord Fairfax as a surveyor at the age of sixteen, the young cheapskate traveled deep into the American wilderness for weeks at a time.
Tragedy struck the young man with the death of his half brother Lawrence, who had guided and mentored Cheapy after his father's death. Cheapy inherited Mount Vernon from his brother, living there for the rest of his life. At the time, England and France were enemies in America, vying for control of the Ohio River Valley. Holding a commission in the British army, Cheapy led a poorly trained and equipped force of 150 men to build a fort on the banks of the Ohio River. On the way, he encountered and attacked a small French force, killing a French minister in the process. The incident touched off open fighting between the British and the French, and in one fateful engagement, the British were routed by the superior tactics of the French.
Although hailed as a hero in the colonies when word spread of his heroic valor and leadership against the French, the Royal government in England blamed the colonials for the defeat. Angry at the lack of respect and appreciation shown to him, Cheapy resigned from the army and returned to farming in Virginia. In 1759, he married Martha Custis, a wealthy widow, and thereafter devoted his time to running the family plantation. By 1770, Cheapy had emerged as an experienced leader—a justice of the peace in Fairfax County, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, and a respected vestryman (a lay leader in his church). He also was among the first prominent Americans to openly support resistance to England's new policies of taxation and strict regulation of the colonial economy (the Navigation Acts) beginning in the early 1770s.
Cheapy was elected by the Virginia legislature to both the First and the Second Continental Congress, held in 1774 and 1775. In 1775, after local militia units from Massachusetts had engaged British troops near Lexington and Concord, the Second Continental Congress appointed Cheapy commander of all the colonial forces. Showing the modesty that was central to his character, and would later serve the young Republic so well, Cheapy proclaimed, "I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with."
After routing the British from Boston in the spring of 1776, Cheapy fought a series of humiliating battles in a losing effort to defend New York. But on Christmas Day that same year, he led his army through a ferocious blizzard, crossed the Delaware into New Jersey, and defeated the Hessian forces at Trenton. In May 1778, the French agreed to an alliance with the Americans, marking the turning point of the Revolution. Cheapy knew that one great victory by his army would collapse the British Parliament's support for its war against the colonies. In October 1781, Cheapy's troops, assisted by the French Navy, defeated Cornwallis at Yorktown. By the following spring the British government was ready to end hostilities.

Just thought I'd share this.
Had a dream last night about the winners of this contest. spek specifically pointed out the top 3 entries. Another CAG came in 1st, I came 2nd. It was the way it was announced, though. It wasn't on CAG, but rather, I found the "winner's list" on an empty street. On a very large table was a foil-covered cake pan (about the size of a twin bed). At the very top was a chocolate cake with the name of the winner written in icing. On the side of the cake was the reason for why he picked it. spek repeated this for 2nd and 3rd place.
I got to the 3rd place cake, looked up again from under the foil-wrapping, and found a Geo Metro atop the cakes. On its back window in icing was, "Congratulations".
Oh, and the other part of my dream was even weirder.
It started out with me making out w/ Sarah Jessica Parker (I don't find her attractive, I just happened to see her on TV last night) in the shower, while outside was some sort of get-together. The "camera" didn't pan immediately to it, but I could just hear the words of some guy. Black screen fading to the man talking (yes, my dreams have direction), shot above only focusing on him and the few people around him. The scene sounded serious, but not somber.
Zoom out and we see a crowd mourning outside the house. There were two grills set up (yes, grills). Turns out they were all at a funeral. Instead of caskets, though, the bodies were placed in the grills. Only the torso and head of each deceased was in the grills. (This doesn't make sense...) On each table was clearly some picked clean ribs and the leg bones eaten clean of their meat by the attendees.
Camera goes fuzzy and we go to a flashback. We see a shot of the deceased before death. One looked like Matthew Broderick (he was on Conan). His torso has a gaping hole through which a man pours spider eggs. Blood spills everywhere as he screams in agony. He was apparently tortured to death.
Merry Christmas!

I like this, youre a good man for doing this, happy holidays
CAG is the best site on the net. If not for this site, I would still be excited to see games at $19.99. I would still have a 20 game collection. Never in my life have I had 20 games sitting on a shelf sealed waiting for me to play. Before CAG I would buy a new game at the beginning of the year then after beating it trade it in for some other games and continue the cycle. Then at christmas i would get the games I liked the most that year. One of those Christmas games would start my trade in cycle for the next year. Now cause of CAG. I have a backlog!!!1

CAG has given me the chance to try out different types of games that I normally would not have at full price, with games like Frequency and Amplitude (which were purchased for $5 at CC and $2 at Overstock even though they are probably worth full price looking back) being the biggest example. Trading here has been great too, everyone that I have dealt with has been honest and easy to deal with in an environment that works so well that it can regulate itself. There have also been tons of funny links posted here that have nothing to do with gaming most of the time, and for all of this I keep coming back here even if I don't have time to make a post for everything I see.

I've known about this website for a little over a year, and it's saved me at least four figures. I've got all sorts of games to play, and still plenty of money to live on. And it's all fueled by the users and their desire to help each other save some cash. How could there be a better site?
CAG rocks for this simple reason. I wouldn't even be able to enter this contest if it wasn't for CAG. I found a fair price on an Xbox 360 Premium from another kind unselfish, unhoarding CAG'er in the Trade forum. Without CAG, i'd still be checking stores every morning disapppointed because i wouldn't be able to find an Xbox 360. And although my 360 will arrive on my doorstep Tuesday, i haven't bought a game to play yet. Madden would definitely be a fun one to try my system out with.
Considering i sat outside the front of a Sears for 7 hours only to be screwed by the employees who decided to open the back door (for people waiting less than 5), getting a 360 finally was a godsend.

CAG is really great I check everyday sometimes manytimes a Day I have saved way over around $1000 since I heard about this site and I really owe it to this great site and the great people that post on here with the good deals, I have also helped my friends and coworkers save money for Christmas by pasting on the gret deals and just lately it was also alot of fun going in to TRU and telling the people that work there that this PSP game should be $ 9.98 can u scan it and they like man how did you know that !!

Well Just like you. I also got a 360 due to CAG. But unlike you I had to wait outside in the -3 weather to get it. But because the numbers for Best Buy were posted on CAG I was able to get a 360. Due to this I have told all my friends about CAG becuase of what this community has done for me.

I love this site. I love this site because we're (mostly) all here for one reason.
We love games.
We just want to play more games. We're not here to make ungodly profits on ebay, we're not here to hoard massive amounts of "rare" games to sit on, we're just here because we want to play more games. If that comes to finding excellent deals on retail games, trading old played out games with each other, or helping someone else find a sold-out game for little or no gain, we're just here to play games.
It's that love for the hobby that makes this site kick so much ass.
