The Best Game You bought from the Bargain Bin

[Scarim Coral]

If I remember correctly I think it was "Metal Arms: Glitch in the System" for the Gamecube.

 

[bootz]

Descent Freepace and the expansion for $2 on clearance at kmart in 2001

 

[AWAR]

Half Life holiday 2006 collection for 15 euros - It included Half Life 1,2,DM and episode 1
It completely changed my life ^^

 

[Brandon237]

Probably Mass Effect 1 for about $6 (very roughly translated).
Jurassic Park Operation Genesis on PS2 was also amazing and that cost not too much, and I got it from Cash Converters (they are still masters of rip-off-ery).

 

[MisterM2402]

99p for Thief II: The Metal Age (I think that's the subtitle). That's if pre-owned games count. Also, it didn't work very well on my PC, but from what I've heard, it's a damn good game.

 

[Jazoni89]

Eternal darkness for £1.50
Considering i played it 3 times that's pretty good value that and it is the game i played the most on my Wii.

Bargain of the century right there.

Mine was Zone of the enders for 99p, and a bunch of caseless dreamcast games for a quid each.

 

[Jeremy Hanna]

Beyond Good and Evil- $7.99

Psychonauts- $4

Two of my favorite games of all time.

 

[FoolKiller]

Prey. For three dollars.

Three.

Try and find me a better deal than that.

Rock Band. For the same price.

Find me an objectively better deal

I wouldn't pay that much for Rock Band.

Objectively, it matches your deal. And if you must have a tie break, Rock Band has more replay value. I liked both games and just because you don't like Rock Band doesn't mean it isn't as good.

 

[Andalusa]

Fable:TLC... I forget how much and where from, but it was freakin' cheap. We also got a metric fuck-tonne of PC games for really cheap too, the pack included Recoil, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Populous the Beginning and a load of other really good ones.

 

[franconbean]

Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics for $20

Gotta love Steam.

You've been had; i picked them up for £5 as a hard copy (i reckon thats under $10)

I got the full X-COM collection off a Steam deal for like 5 bucks.

Same!
I would pay 10 for the first one alone

Also, i got audiosurf from GAME for 99p

 

[omicron1]

Dirt 2. 99c. One might say that it was dirt cheap.

Also, I found Arcanum, HoMMIV, Lords of Magic, Nox, Dungeon Siege, and Spellforce for free in someone's "castoff" pile.

 

[Vrach]

Saint's Row 2, was something like 2.5 euros. Gotta love a Steamy Christmas

 

[Nothing Tra La La]

Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented for $15.
FIFTEEEEEEEEEN.
I had gone to a game store on a whim and didn't expect them to have it. But, lo and behold, it was there.
Nowadays it's around $60 for a used copy, so I was thrilled.

Also, about $5 a piece for Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose. Love them both, but unfortunately don't have cases for either of them.

Prey. For three dollars.

Rock Band. For the same price.

Did I ever say it wasn't good? Did I ever say it didn't match my deal?

Nope. Simply said that it wasn't objectively better (even with the replay value) and that I wouldn't pay that much for it.

 

[Darks63]

I picked up the original Silent hill from a blockbuster Bargin bin.

 

[Sebster 105]

Painkiller: Black Edition for 0.25


eat it.

 

[Sir Broccoli]

Startopia for 5 euros. That was a fun game.

 

[Sight Unseen]

Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition for gamecube ( Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Zelda 1 and 2) for $0.99... I dare someone to beat that...

 

[ZeroMachine]

Prey. For three dollars.

Three.

Try and find me a better deal than that.

Yeah, I wanted to buy that same deal but Steam ran out of cd keys and I was denied. Why this was a problem I will never know since Steam sells product via online only and a simple request for more "keys" didn't seem unreasonable.

On the other hand, if the creators are true to go under, maybe Steam was irresponable for selling the game for that cheap during that time. I mean I would have gladly paid ten dollars for it, hell I still would, if it would help the failing creators of it.

... I bought it for 3$ out of a literal bargain bin at Gamestop...
