as temting as it is to say Viewtiful Joe for like $3, I traded it in after like two days with it, so I'll have to go with either hulk: ultimate destruction from a close-out sale which was about $8, or the Orange Box for $20 if I had bought it a little earlier.
Best deal you've ever got...

On game there was a xbox elite standalone for £220, and an xbox elite with an entertainment pack which included an extra controller, burnout paradise and a code for connect 4 for £200. I bought an entertainment pack for -£20, pretty good to me.
Baldur's Gate 4 in 1 Boxset for £15.
I realise a lot of the other deals mentioned have been much, much cheaper than that, but let's put things in perspective here. For £15 I got:
Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast.
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
All taken together, that adds up to somewhere in the region of 500 hours of gameplay.
Beat that.

Clerk accidentally keyed in £2.49 instead of £24.99 for Gran Turismo 4. I kept schtum and left swiftly.
I think the best deal I've gotten was Dark Sector. I got it for about $12 when it was on offer. Original price (which it jumped back to not much later) was $100. Second best deal would probably be Prey for $7.
Not for a game, but game related. Before I got fired from Best Buy, we got anything in the store for 10% above cost. As you may know, computer cables are ridiculously marked up. Cables that retail for $30 I was getting for $1.50.
There was an offer for a PS3 + 2 controllers + Two games in Virgin when it came out (Before Virgin died)
The offer was buy a PS3 and you get two games with a certain percentage discount on them
The moron at the counter added EVERYTHING up and took off the percent discount. We went away with the cheapest PS3 in the world that day

I got this from a bargain bin:
- Half Life: Source
- HL:S: Deathmatch
- Half Life 2
- HL2: Lost Coast
- HL2: Deathmatch.
- HL2: Episode 1
All for 1999 ISK, which at the time of writing is about 16 dollars, or less than half of what this would cost via Steam.
I'll admit; it was a holiday special package from 2006 (bought in the spring of 2009) and the disk didn't work, had to download them via steam after entering the product code. But still dirt cheap.
