[quote name='SnakeEater']re 2 in stock for GCN? did i miss it already?[/quote]

Was in stock, sorry I tried to get over here and type it as quickly as I could. Not fast enough to beat the sharks I guess.
 
[quote name='onikage'][quote name='terribledeli'][quote name='onetrackmind']2 grandia extremes are left, just checked[/quote]

Already out of stock again. Some folks work fast. I think they went in less than ten minutes.[/quote]

How much is Grandia Xtreme before coupons?[/quote]

$24.99

I ended up keeping the place holder copy of Silpheed in my cart. So with CAG15, SAVER, and Edge card...it came to a total of $25.20.
 
Xbox and PS2 versions of Marvel vs Capcom 2 both in stock now only the PS2 remains. Funny how fast that Xbox version sold out there were 9 copies of it minus 1 I bought and the rest were gone in less than 5 minutes.
 
[quote name='outkastx']I've heard 8 AM as the time when they update, can someone tell me what time zone?[/quote]

7 am Eastern time is update time. Some CAGs from out west have been getting up like 5 am their time to be online at the right time, I think someone from Hawaii gets up at like 4 am or something.
 
[quote name='SnakeEater']i live in California and its 4:30 am

so it sucks EXTRA when we dont get the game we want
=[[/quote]

That does stink. Me I just get up at 6:55 am and wander over to the computer. Then after I'm done missing everything 15 minutes later I just stay up and enjoy the day. It gives me a reason to get up early at least.

EDIT: not interesting to many but here's a good RPG for Dreamcast. http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/171712.asp

and 7 left of Marvel vs Capcom 2 ps2 version.

[quote name='m1lesteg']Where exactly do I go to see what is newly in-stock every morning? I've never been able to figure that one out.[/quote]

There's a tool from rockhero on the first page of this thread that shows most of the popular games. However it helps if you're looking for something specific. Each morning I open two browsers for two games and just reload them and hope.
 
Some of the more notable games I saw this morning...

PS2 Shrek Super Party - there were 2, yet I missed both
PS2 Fatal Frame
PS2 Suikoden 3 (there were 13! in stock)
Xbox MotoGP 2

and a bunch of GB/GBC off of Rockhero's list...
 
My score this morning RE 2 GCN, Link DX for GB, Evolution 1 and 2 for DC, Grandia Extreme, Marvel vs Capcom 2 for Xbox,and Red Dead Revolver for Xbox. The only thing I might return is RDR because I think I can still get it new at BB for 15 after GGC.
 
I'm considering doing Tactics Ogre, Shining Force GBA, and Fire Emblem for the B2get1 deal. Comes out to $50, seems a bit steep... I wish I could just get 2 out of the 3, maybe pick up Fire Emblem somewhere else.

Just buy the two you want with CAG15 and your edge card, you'll save nearly as much, plus you can wait and get Fire Emblem later.

Yeah, I live in California and I've been getting up early to catch it...

Couldn't get anything I wanted this morning though :(
 
Picked one up, still one left. Stupid me, but for 7.50 can't go wrong.

[quote name='schultzed']The Adventures of Cookie & Cream $7.50 after discounts

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/200516.asp

Been waiting for this one to come in . . . coop play . . . kiddie game . . . quirky platformer. It was bumped up to $11.99 during the holidays.

Not often in stock. There were 4 this morn, I got one but it says 2 left
now.[/quote]
 
[quote name='schultzed']The Adventures of Cookie & Cream $7.50 after discounts[/quote]

Thanks! Snagged the last one, I think. (Sorry to anyone else that was waiting for it.)
 
[quote name='schultzed']The Adventures of Cookie & Cream

kiddie game.[/quote]

Actually, the game gets a bit difficult during from the second or third level on. Kids, would be frustrated with this one.
 
[quote name='Mike23']I think RE2 (DC) is out of stock.[/quote]

Yeah like most of the rare/hot games it goes in the first 15-30 minutes, the early bird gets the worm and all that.
 
is grandia xtreme hard to find at all? They have one complete at my local B&M and i was going to get it but thought i might be able to find it for less than 25
 
[quote name='Weedy649']is grandia xtreme hard to find at all? They have one complete at my local B&M and i was going to get it but thought i might be able to find it for less than 25[/quote]

It's not rare persay, but if you wanna play it I'd pick it up when you get the chance. It could become hard to find, and $25 isn't bad. It's rare enough that if you decide you wanna play it one day you probably won't be able to just go out to the local store and pick it up, unless you get lucky.

I cannot stop myself from posting the following message:

Adventures of Cookie And Cream is hands-down the BEST cooperative multiplayer video game I have ever played in my entire life. When I say that it is cooperative, I mean really cooperative. You cannot win if one person doesn't hold up their end of the deal...the two rabbits have to work together to solve puzzles in order to continue through the level, such as playing out a tune on a giant keyboard in order to raise/lower platforms to jump across a chasm. As you progress through a level, the screen will split vertically if one of you gets ahead of the other, and often you'll have to figure out how to clear a way for your partner to proceed forward (and vice versa). If you have a significant other who has a passing interest in games and you want to find something to spark that interest, this could very well be the purchase to do it. It's easy to get the hang of, but challenging enough to offer some replay. This is one of those games where when I see that you got it so cheap, I want to turn into a dirty carny and yell, "It's a bargain at twice the price!" :lol:
 
I really wish I got tthat game when fye had it for $10 new. They raised it back to $20 but I'm always keeping an eye out to make sure it drops down (along with RAD).

Exactly why I picked it up. I didn't want to pay the $60 price tag of some stores but I knew if I waited...it might be a while before I can come across another copy.

Hell, its probably going to collect dust for a while till I can finish off Xenosaga.
 
[quote name='drfrielgood']I don't believe RE2 was in stock, I checked seconds after the update.[/quote]

Not today. It was on Monday 7 copies,and Wednesday 3 copies I believe. I really wish they would wait until they have at least 10 copies of a game, not sure if that would give us a better chance to get something after the vulture.... err I mean dealers are done.
 
Shadowrun, Megaman Soccer, Sunset Riders were in stock, all SNES, all gone before I could order.

Also, Harvest Moon SNES, Lufia 2 SNES, Mario RPG SNES, were all in stock.
 
4 copies of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 used for PS2 left..... not sure how much it would be after discounts. I would buy one at $54.99 if it didn't come with all of the stickers on the packaging.

EDIT: Only 1 copy remaining as of 12:25 EST....
 
[quote name='The Truth']4 copies of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 used for PS2 left..... not sure how much it would be after discounts. I would buy one at $54.99 if it didn't come with all of the stickers on the packaging.[/quote]

Stickers take all of 5 minutes to remove with goo-gone or any goo-gone knock off.
 
My mom suggested that, too, but I've seen people on here say that stuff messes up the casing to some degree. Any truth to that?
 
[quote name='The Truth']My mom suggested that, too, but I've seen people on here say that stuff messes up the casing to some degree. Any truth to that?[/quote]

Every case I've ever gotten from used game stores is "messed up to some degree" anyways, so if you want an absolutely perfect case the odds are slim to none anyways.

However if you're just worried about it eating through the case or something like that, that won't happen. The products I've used, Goof-off and Oops don't do any noticeable damage.
 
[quote name='The Truth']4 copies of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 used for PS2 left..... not sure how much it would be after discounts. I would buy one at $54.99 if it didn't come with all of the stickers on the packaging.[/quote]

Just get a new case for it then. You can pick up a 5 pack of black DVD cases at Walmart for $5 or get them cheaper somewhere else I'm sure. Just slide the label out of your game case and right into that one. I've done that with a couple cases and you can't tell the difference on my shelf.
Or somone on here suggest 95% alcohol isopropyl or something like that. Check around for that threat he said that works better than good gone and leaves no sticky or greasy feel.

That's EB for you, they are notorious for stickering everything! However, I've found that in most cases if you peel the sticker off very VERY slowly, you can get it off without damaging the case.
 
[quote name='SnakeEater']bah! back to sleep i go[/quote]

Goo gone will fix all of your sticker worries.
