Just wanted to see if anyone out there got some really sweet deals on a game.

This just happened to me and I thought it was pretty awesome. Picked up Arkham Asylum for $38 (CAD). It was used so it should have been $60 and new here it's $70. Big thank you to whichever idiot at EB games wasn't paying attention during labelling. Probably would have had to wait 2 years to get that price.

Actually, the retail price is $49 Canadian*, so I don't think $38 used is a mistake...


*According to Amazon.ca and Futureshop.ca

Quite possibly, but those are different stores than where I was. EB games had a new copy for 69.99. And the guy at the counter told me the used one is supposed to be 59.99. Are you sure that was the Canadian price because I can't think of a single new popular release that was less than 59.99 for a long time.

Prey for about a third of its normal price.
Battle realms for NZ$10 (about US$7) and morrowind for the same (although I gave up on that one).

[Connosaurus Rex]

Spartan total warrior for 5 to 15 dollars (USD) pretty nice I would say.

 

[Boaal]

I paid £3 for Turok 2 Seeds of Evil.
one of the best £3 I ever spent.

 

[LockHeart]

Well I got a copy of Far Cry 2 for free, but I'd say my best was bagging a copy of Anachronox for 99p If you haven't heard of it, look it up, it's an absolutely amazing game.

 

[bob-2000]

either the 20 bucks i payed for the Orange Box, or the 10 bucks i payed for Condemned 1 (not Condemned 2, god no)

 

[AvsJoe]

Most of the games I've played were either lent to me or given to me as gifts.

The best 'deal' I got was either High Heat Baseball 2003 for $5 (which was my favourite sports game for a while) or the Worms Triple Pack (Worms 2, Worms World Party, Worms Armageddon) for $20 (Armageddon was my favourite game for a long time).

Honourable mentions go to NHL Rock the Rink for $1 and NHL 2005 for the computer for $20 (which, while installing, deleted the file that contained the worst virus in my computer's history).

 

[Katana314]

Got the whole GTA series for around $20. Got all Unreal games, original through UT3 for $20. Penumbra collection for $5 (I kinda feel those games were underrated)
Got Tomb Raider Anniversary for $5
Red Orchestra for $5
Prey for $5
Beyond Good and Evil for $5

Yeah, you could say I save a lot by waiting.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

There was a mislabeling going on at GameStop so I got both Max Payne and Max Payne 2 for ten bucks together.

Those Penumbra games do seem underrated. They make me paranoid......

On topic, I've gotten many good deals over the years. Can't remember any, though.
