Best deal you ever got on a video game?

[findler]

Bioshock for $5 off steam. It was a boxing day discount.

Nice, that's a good deal.

 

[General Recluse]

went to buy COD4. the guy behind the counter said"hey we have need for speed for 2 bucks, you want it?" its not the best game but it was the best deal.

 

[G1eet]

Mass Effect for $20. I've played through it at least 10 times, and its sucked more out of my life than most retail value games.

 

[Venatio]

Borrowed it from a friend and "forgot" to give it back, hehe.

 

[23qwerty]

CoD4 GoTY edition for $30 about a year ago.

 

[Yoshemo]

Got the first Kirby game at a garage sale for 1$.


.....but they sold me a broken game. So I took it back the next day and melted it to their door

 

[The Youth Counselor]

Half-Life 1 for 99 cents during it's 10 Year anniversary.

I got about ten copies for ten friends who still hadn't played it.

 

[Gutterslime]

Mega Man X, super castlevania IV, and Super Metroid for 50 cents each at a flea market, but my best deal on a game ever would have been a neo-geo cabinet and 8 games for $180 on ebay, of course i did have to drive to kentucky to get it

 

[Chancie]

Hm...I can't think of too many I got for a good deal. I bought Shadow Hearts: Covenant new and still sealed for $16 when they were still selling on eBay for about $50. I was pretty happy about that one. I also got Ico for $20 though, that was at GameStop so I'm sure I'm not the only one that benefited from the temporary price drop.

 

[BBLIZZARD]

The Orange Box-$30. I bought a few months after it was released and was immediatley hooked to TF2 and Portal. Incidentally the second best deal i got was...

Final Fantasy VII-The Orange Box. I let my friend borrow the orange box well after i was done with it and he gave me FF7 in exchange.

 

[ToxinArrow]

Content wise: Orange Box for $10

Amount wise: C&C The First Decade for $20. 13 games in 1 box.

 

[Crowser]

Resident Evil 4: 5 bucks

Found it in the bargain bin at Hollywood Video.

 

[Christemo]

Titan Quest for 45£. with soundtrack and expansion.

 

[Advocate Of Death]

Mercenaries on the XBox for $14.99. Hadn't ever heard of it but it sounded neat, took it home and lost 50+ hours of my life

...must say though, the 2nd one is terrible

 

[rXp]

Orange box !
Diablo 2 + Diablo 2 : LOD -> 0.1$ (CD-keys were working)

 

[Blanks]

Painkiller, all three of them, $10

 

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

got devil may cry 4 on release day for £12

 

[Dys]

got a brand new ps3 when they first came out for FREE

Did you win it or something? If I recall they were in very high demand :S How in gods name did you manage that?

OT: Yeah, I've got heaps of games cheap. Left 4 dead was around the $10au mark if I recall correctly, got half life 2 for free (a friend bought the orange box and didn't want it, it was the only half life game I didn't have). Got Little Big Planet for $40 today ($10 cheaper than marked price), not a huge saving but big enough to convince me to buy it.

 

[iJosh]

A copy of haloCE, Halo2, Halo3, Halo Wars, an Halo ODST.

For $50.

 

[UnearthedArcana]

Got MGS2: Substance, including The Document of MGS2, for £4.50.

New. Shrink-wrapped.
