Resident Evil 4, Spider man 2 and Ratchet and Clank 2 for under 15 euro all together. Awesome games the lot of them, which have helped keep me sane since my 360 bricked itself.
What's the best deal you got on a game?

hey, me too. This was the one pre-order I made that I don't regret buying in advance.hctib_elttil said:
Also WAY BETTER for you. The 4-20 hours (depending on replay) you spend spend sitting on your ass playing this game is both healthier and more satisfying than 2 McDonald's Cheeseburgers. Congrats on that deal.Nintendolover222 said:
wow how close to release was that?jpoon said:
Anyways, Deus Ex for $2.50 USD. I can say, with certainty, that thats the best $2.50 (or less) I've ever spent in my life.
Also I got a promodisc that came with the LoZ: Windwaker pre-order for $20. It has Loz:OoT MASTER'S QUEST. yeah. At any price its a deal; this disc is hard to get.
wait what?Okuu_Fusion said:
10 x $50 = $500. I doubt anyone would pay that.
10 x 0 = 0. That's not really selling it; that's giving it away.
Let's see...
Free Portal, but that's too obvious. I've had some great deals through Steam sales -- paying less than $5 most of the time -- but the best deals have to be all the cheap games I buy used or on sale at brick and mortar stores. There was the Fallout collection, three games for $10 total -- new -- the time I found Oblivion for $2, the time I found the first three Heroes of Might and Magic games for $2 total, and just last weekend, I found Battlefield 2 for $5. I think the best deal I've ever got on a single, non-bundled game was the time I got the original Civilization for $1.00, including sales tax. Basically, neither the shop owner nor I wanted to deal with breaking a dollar bill just for $0.07 worth of sales tax, so he sold the game to me for $0.93. Considering how many hours I got out of that game, it was definitely a good deal.
P.S.: Technically, Civilization was bundled on a disc with a crappy early 90's flight sim, so I guess you could say I got it for under $.50. However, I only played that flight sim once before deciding it wasn't worth my time, so the $.93 figure stands. If anyone is interested, it was <link=http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/928614-civilization-and-xf5700-mantis-experimental>this bundle, and I had a hard time finding any confirmation of either its existence, or the existence of the flight sim when I bought it. The weird thing is that it was the DOS floppy version of Civ, not the CD version, but it was on a legitimate CD.

I got Starfox 64, Parasite Eve, and Megaman Legends in a trade with a friend. I still play all three.
Is he BI by any chance? I want some of that actionHiraeth said:
Got the Orange Box for $15, a bloody steal, I'm still afraid Emperor Gabe will be kicking down my door every time I pull the box out.
Then you look at Activision selling 4 map DLC for the same money... just wow.
My cousin is a great source for me to get a few old games for cheap. Both Final Fantasy Tactics and Legend of Dragoon I bought off of him for about $20. Considering that I paid more than twice that for Chrono Trigger, that's not a bad deal...
I managed to persuade this guy I used to be friends with to sell me his Game Boy Color and Pokemon Red for 50p. That's right, half of £1! He was a bit thick but it was win!
Apart from that, went to Gamestation one day about 5 years ago, was playing MotoGP 06 and one of the staff asked me to race them. I came 5th, he came 12th. Asked me what consoles I had (Gamecube at the time), went into the back room and gave me the Legend of Zelda Promotional Disk, which had Zelda 1 and 2, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on it, for FREE!

The Orange Box
Hands down winner. Granted I got the 360 version for 60 bucks, but this was in the days that my computer couldn't play Halo C.E.

Got Metro:2033 for $20 two weeks after it came out on eBay. Pretty good considering it's my personal favorite game now.
Technically, I didn't even buy Just Cause 2 ($7.50) while there was a Steam sale this week. I had my friend buy it for me, and in return, I'll be building him a Halo Sniper Rifle out of wood.
I'd probably have to say the entirety of the steam sale at the end of last year. I got
VVVVVV + 4 other games for a fiver.
Recettear + 4 other games for a fiver.
Stalker 1 + 3 for a fiver.
And loads others. I'm simultaneously sad the deals have to end, and glad that I don't just keep buying more stuff every single day...
