Finding PS2 games at Wal-Mart is always good for a laugh. That system is edging twenty at this point! Yet somehow, it's not impossible to find some shrink wrapped Tiger Woods game at WM for twenty or thirty dollars.

Not a big deal. I got me some clearance garbage bags with additional Cartwheel/Red Card discounts, so it wasn't a total loss 

So when you finally get that Playstation Classic, you'll have the perfect place to put it.

Nope. We even joked here that once it went BC, it was never going to be $5 ever again.

I did buy it the last time it was on sale, thinking that I would play it on the Xbox 360. I never did that, but fortunately, once it went BC it wasn't even necessary. Apologies to those who missed out... even at ten dollars, it's worth considering. It's a very good game, like Skyrim with a third-person perspective and far more exciting combat. Chakrams 4 lyfe

Anyone have feedback on 20XX? I love old school Mega Man/the first MMX, but I’ve never played a rogue-like (or rogue-lite?) game so I’m just not sure what to expect. Sounds like a fun challenge, and I have a couple bucks expiring in a few weeks so I’m tempted to use some of that for the game while it’s on the cheap. Any info/opinions are appreciated, as always.

I've had it on PC for about a year now, and I dig it. The stages are procedurally generated, so you're going to see a lot of repeated obstacles, and the game gets harder and harder as you progress. On the other hand, if you've been collecting power-ups, your characters quickly become superhuman, and obstacles that seemed insurmountable when you started will present little challenge to you after four or five levels.

 

It's good. Much of what makes people like Mega Man X is faithfully captured here, without some of the cheapness. Fall off a cliff and you're penalized one health point, rather than an entire life. There's also a lot of references (Blue Lander from The Guardian Legend makes an appearance as a power-up) and the Dr. Wily/Dr. Light expies have a dynamic not unlike Woldorf and Statler, the old geezers from The Muppets. There's an undercurrent of passive-aggressive hostility toward the player that could annoy, but I suppose it makes it all the sweeter once you win. It'll take a long time to get that good, though.

Microsoft is really pissing me off at the moment. They screwed me on the Badlands promotion, and now they screwed me on this supposed ten dollar gift card. I clicked through four times only to get a blank screen, and after clicking the fifth time, I get "sorry, this is no longer available." I'm about to punch a damn hole through Bill Gates' pelvis at this point.

Sony's done a lousy job of listing these games. I wanna arrange them by format, but no dice. Why is that asking so much? Nor do I want to look at a dozen of them per page.

Man, somebody got lucky with those video cards!

Seemed to work for me! Thanks.

The Super Retro-Bit is supposed to have better hardware, for what it's worth. Same company, though.

It's a good action game about robots that are depressed about their mortality and existence.

Just to let you and other folks know, this has happened many many times across many many internet selling platforms. A user is a fantastifc seller, sometimes for years in a row with no issues and great feedback, and then they randomly go rogue for whatever reason. Sometimes it's because they've fallen on hard times, sometimes it's because of a compromised account, sometimes they lose their sources and just want to cash out one last time since they no longer have a product. Past reviews don't mean anything when someone is acting the complete opposite of those past ways. I've traded with said seller in the past and it was nothing like this. Something is up and sadly, most of these people are probably out of luck. The only way to be 1000% sure you'll have a CHANCE at getting your money back is to pay through PAYPAL NON-FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Even then it's a process and doesn't always work.

Yeah, but when you buy from anyone on this site, what do they tell you? "Use PayPal Friends & Family."

Scooby-Doo can doo-doo, but Jimmy Carter is smarter!

In a perfect world, this is the mindset that every CAG should have. But we're all so busy spending money in a grand attempt to save money.

Being a broke-ass gamer means being a cheap-ass gamer by default. I do take advantage of these deals, but usually as a matter of frugality.

I'd be tempted if I didn't already have a Playstation 4. Or rather, would have been tempted. Right now, my PS4 has pretty much become my Sleeping Dogs player. I bought that game for five bucks a little while ago, and it's become one of my smarter video game purchases. I don't really have the interest in anything else!

Amusingly, the game that I purchased from Japan with this discount just arrived today!
