There are still a few place where you can get Xenogear for about $20 new

lionheart4life · Apr 11, 2005

Xenogears should be $20 new anywhere, it was rerealesed. Since then the prices for it have plummeted. I've seen non-GH copies go for under $20.

Zarkon · Apr 11, 2005

Tell that to EBGames, where a used copy is $29.99

I know that xenogears was re-released but I have never even seen the re-released GH copies. ONly place that I have seen them was on Ebay and that doesn't count IMO. Still, the price they have it at is a little steep.

hiccupleftovers · Apr 11, 2005

Marvel vs Capcom 2 (PS2) is in stock. 54.99 as usual.

carpwrist · Apr 11, 2005

New copy of Fight Club (PS2) is down to $10. Still a bit overpriced... but meh.

[quote name='Monsta Mack']Man, just got my second defective gba game. Game and WAtch Gallery which I paid $4.20 for... but still. It doesn't even load, u would think EB would atleast test that much. Thank god it's easy to return their used games.[/QUOTE]
I got Zelda Oracle of Ages and so far it seems to be working OK. But I got a copy of Link's Awakening DX that is all messed up. I can't even create a new game, there is garbage data in all the save slots that I can't erase. Although it was a good deal I don't know if I'll be buying any more used games from them.

Gamestop's the only place I've seen have used copies for under $20, but they never have any copies available. But can you blame people when they know they get more at other stores(EB & Game Crazy offer $15 for it, you're lucky if Gamestop gives you $7 for it).

Also you can't expect EB to test all the games, so you're going to get a few defective ones.

And if anyone was wondering, XIII is OOS.

Just curious;

Not to be a smartass, but are you folks who are getting defective cartridges trying to clean them out? Sometimes they require a little bit of copper cleaner or witch hazel and a Q-Tip to get going. I'm thinking that this might not be apparent to anybody who didn't start gaming before CDs became the media of choice.

I haven't seen them in stores too much. When I wrote that it was common with the re-release, I guess I hadn't really looked for one any time recently. I searched most of the major online sites and they don't seem to list the GH version anymore either. I agree with you not counting eBay, but that seems to be the only place I can find one now. Its kind of strange, I know they were all over the place a couple months ago and now they seem to have disappeared. To contribute, for anyone who doesn't know you can add a cheap used accessory or game to get the free shipping if you are only ordering new items. If you're going to have to pay the $2 to ship anyway you might as well get some other filler with it.

I tried cleaning the contacts, but that didn't make a difference. I think the game is just corrupt somehow, as it starts up fine but the save slots all have garbage characters in them and save games cannot be erased. I guess I can't complain too much though, it only cost $4 and change.

hiccupleftovers · Apr 12, 2005

All the games I wanted to day are already out. All I wanted was Pinobee and that Wrestling game.

wageslave · Apr 13, 2005

They had a big update this morning! I snagged a Kirby Tilt and Tumble after weeks of lurking for it and got a Mario Tennis for good measure. I'll leave it up to somebody else to post links.

Konami Krazy Racers is a great little game BTW. Who needs Mario Kart?

dcfox · Apr 13, 2005

lurknomore · Apr 13, 2005

wow, great, great prices. I paid much more than that recently for some of those games. Sadly, I don't have the cash now to make the above purchases. I'll just have to wait.

Strider Turbulence · Apr 13, 2005

Damn, missed metal gear.

resonatorxl · Apr 13, 2005

Ogre Battle for the PS was in stock for a little while this morning too.

punqsux · Apr 13, 2005

hokey smokes!

shadowgate = ordered!!!

thanks dcfox ^^

dcfox · Apr 13, 2005

No problem, I'm just glad people were able to get in on some of these. I got up a little later than I'd like that's I was late in putting these up.

Monsta Mack · Apr 13, 2005

Damn missed metal gear, oh well.
Atleast I got the only copy of cookies and cream last time.

hinkbert · Apr 13, 2005

Damn missed Kirby, but at least I got Zelda: Link's Awakening for less than $4 so I'm happy.

Alien Spider · Apr 13, 2005

I just barely squeeked in on the LoZ: Link's Awakening DX. I got one for me and my nephew.

But it's funny, I checked how many they had after I ordered and I was allowed to put 28 in my cart! Now in the last 5 minutes, it's OOS. Jeez.

And no one may care, but I'll post these anyway:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/234229.asp

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/240163.asp

Monsta Mack · Apr 14, 2005

Hey, have any of you ever ordered a Gameboy Player used from EB. Does it come witht he boot up disk?

I'd hate to buy it used and then have to shell out more money for a boot up disc.

I ordered a used GB Player from EB about a year ago and it came with the boot disc. I assume you could return it to your local EB if the disc wasn't included.

EB does include the boot up discs with all of their GameBoy Players. I'm 97.5% sure of it. That's how I've seen them every time I've gone into an EB that has a used one.

hiccupleftovers · Apr 14, 2005

I missed out on Crystalis again. One of these days, one of these days.

It should come with a disc because the player is useless without it. It's like how they can't take a system trade in without hookups...

I've actually seen them take in a couple of consoles that weren't working without the hook-ups.

It depends on how gamesmart (or dumb) the sales associate is. There are a couple peopel working at my store who don't play games at all (this isn't a fun job to them; this is their career pretty much) and they didn't know about the boot disc until i told them.

you could always return it if it didnt come with a boot disc

jrutz · Apr 15, 2005

I ordered one used once from EBGames.com and it came looking like someone dumped it in a pile of rock salt. I couldn't believe it, but they took it back in-store, no questions asked. I'm weary of ordering another used one since.
