What the fuck!? Why were those games $3.99?


I would love to do that. It would be easy money for a PS3.

There was a CAG thread that mentioned Movie Galleries and Hollywood Video stores were selling ALL (sans the ones they're renting atm) used PS2, XBOX, and GC games for 3.99. I picked up a few Madden '09, Mercs 2, NCAA '09, The Force Unleashed. Those traded in for $20 at Gamestop.

They came with a preorder in Australian EB Games.

However they jingle like nobody's business. Sounds like you've got a cat bell on if you attempt to wear them :lol

Lego Indiana Jones PS2 was a lot, like $18...

Disgaea 2 got me $13, sum random xbox Star Wars game got me quite a bit...

Wall-E PS2 was $9 which is pretty good, I found a PS2 copy of Kung Fu Panda which was good,

sum random Hot Wheels games also got me $9...

the thing is... gamestop is offering 30% extra credit when you trade in 5 or more games which is why lots of ppl are taking advantage of this

There's a tiered trade in offer going on right now at Gamestop. Trade in 3 games you get 10% bonus credit, 4 games 20% bonus, 5 games+ 30% bonus. Goes great with the last gen game sale going on at Hollywood Video. All used GC, Xbox, and PS2 games are 3.99. Got over $200 in store credit myself. I still have 4 Madden 09s left over. Might just eBay them.

If I find the asshole who did this to my car, I'll do the same to his bones.

Also got a couple of DVDs and a hat, but I'm to angry to post pictures of them right now. At least 500€ I could have saved or spent in women and wine are gone for a new rear window. And I'm without a car for a couple of days. Horray!

hopefully this one will get me into the Final Fantasy series since the previous ones didn't do much for me(i liked FF12), plus it's all the store had to exchange with the crappy Midnight LA PSP

Scattered stuff from the last few weeks. This week will be the onslaught for me...

The Access Controller. A one-handed PS2/PS3/PC controller, primarily for those with physical disabilities. Designed by BenHeck.

081110-access.jpg


The PSEye. Primarily for LittleBigPlanet, but will also get use uploading drunken karaoke vids via SingStar.

LittleBigPlanet with bonus t-shirt.

SingStar Vol. 2. I just can't stop buying these games.

081110-sing.jpg


Saint's Row 2 and Tales of Vesperia will probably be in my 360 all winter, especially after I can install them.

081110-360.jpg


Civilization Revolution and Star Ocean: Til The End of Time. Both obtained through Goozex trading.

081110-goozex1.jpg


Xyanide. A great on-rails shooter that sold about 3 copies. Also obtained through Goozex.

Finally, The Cult of Cartman South Park DVD set. My wife loves the South Park, so I buy all of these for her.

Is it possible to use this controller on PC in tandem with a mouse? Like, if I wanted to use an analog stick for movement but a mouse for aiming in an FPS? Do you have any idea?

I want that. Australia missed out on preorder bonus though. Looks like its eBay time for me.

Basically, you go to Hollywood Video or Movie Gallery (without the game stores attached) and go to their buy used games section. They will have a sign that says "All PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube games $3.99" or something to that effect. Some stores usually have copies of games like:

Mercenaries 2
Lego Batman
NCAA '09
Madden '09
Fifa '09

etc.

Buy these games for $3.99 + tax, take them to a Gamestop or something similar and trade them in. Many go for $20 trade in value, $18.75, $13.00, etc. There is more however. Currently Gamestops are running a special where you trade in:

3 games = +10% per game in Trade In Value
4 games = +20% per game in Trade In Value
5 games = +30% per game in Trade In Value

There are reports of people spending a few hundred dollars and coming out with $750+ in store credit. Credit for these "spoils" go to CAG.
