Update: FYE is offering B1G1 free on all PS2 games purchased 2/24/09-3/24/09. This should work with clearance games too. Details are here.
Some CAGs posted in earlier threads (namely the 50% off Xbox/GC/GBA thread) that they found some random PS2 games marked way low (Gradius V for $4.99, etc.)
I noticed while shopping over at Wherehouse.com (also owned by TransWorld, parent company of FYE) that the "New" prices on games were recently changed to match what CAGs had reported finding at FYE. Since Wherehouse and FYE are both owned by the same company, the new prices listed at Wherehouse.com *should* match up with FYE in-store.
As best as I can tell, FYE quietly marked down hundreds of older (mostly released in 2000-2005) PS2 games in the past month. I compiled the following list "by hand" by checking individual prices on http://www.wherehouse.com .
Many of these titles are quite old, so finding any one individual title will be YMMV. (Good luck on finding Ico, Suikoden III, etc.!) However, if you have a well-stocked store, you should be able to find a few in the list.
ALSO, one of the two stores I checked out just had a MASSIVE restock of old games, some of which I have not seen new in years (.hack//OUTBREAK, Dual Hearts, etc.). The manager said that they got a lot of stock in from closed stores, so it may be worth rechecking stores that previously had nothing.
FAQ Time!
Q: How do I check the price of a game not in the list below?
A: Go to http://www.wherehouse.com and search for the game. Click through to the game's individual page. The "new" price should match the "new" price in-store at FYE.
Q: How do I check the price of a game in stores?
A: You can use the kiosk stands that have headphones. For more info, see my blog post on GameHoarders.
Q: Which stores will have these prices?
A: These prices should be good at any TransWorld-owned store: FYE, Sam Goody, Wherehouse, Coconuts, Strawberries, etc.
Q: Will Backstage Pass take another 10% off?
A: Yes.
Q: Are these prices good on used items too?
A: No. The "used" prices on Wherehouse.com should match used products in store.
This list is INCOMPLETE and consists of titles that I and other CAGs have looked up. Check Wherehouse.com if you're looking for a specific title. Also post below if you find anything that I missed.

Some games in the OP are not in this list because for some reason they don't show up when you browse page-by-page, but they are there if you search. Strange...[/quote]As far as I can tell, only items that are in stock used will show up when you browse, whereas if you search, you can find a title no matter if Wherehouse has a copy in stock or not.
Please post if you find any notable titles that I have missed, post em and I will update the OP.
Happy hunting! Bonus points to anyone who nabs a $0.99 title... I've yet to find any.

For the size of my FYE I was really disappointed with their PS2 selection. They have a ton of Xbox games though. I'm willing to trade sealed Xbox for sealed PS2 games. PM me with your wants!
