Best deals you've gotten on video games?

[Lotos]

I got Fossil Fighters for $17 (with Suffolk County's anoying sales tax rate and the total rounded up to the nearest dollar) at fye yesterday.  (Thread here.)  The link explains why I bought it, for the registration slip.  It was on the clearance rack, 30% off.  I asked the cashier how much it was, I thought it would be around $20, but it rang up at $15 without tax.

I can trade it into Amazon for a ~$5 loss and get extra Club Nintendo coins.  Awesome.

There was also that $10 off from Nintendo for Punch Out! Wii at Best Buy.  That was pretty cool too.

I want to hear about your deals.  Hopefully you will have one better than the one I got

You get lucky on your taxes; here in Los Angeles ours is somewhere around 9.75% or something nasty.

Best deal I ever got was from negotiating with a friend for a DS; I got a Blue phat and Mario Kart for $40. Unfortunately, that's probably the only decent deal I've gotten...

I got the Valve Complete Pack for my birthday. It's still awesome!

Where i live there is no sales tax. The games here are a lot cheaper than other places

Maybe not the best deal but I Just got a copy of the PS3 Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition for $15.50 including tax and shipping.

A few years ago, before the 360 came out, I bought a barely used xbox from a friend of mine for 45 bucks.

I bought The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (the GCN disc w/ LoZ, AoL, OoT, MM, and a WW demo) from a friend for something like $3-5. It came with his Gamecube, but he didn't like Zelda.

Also, when I was little and needed a guide for everything, I walked into a Gamestop with my dad to get a guide for Paper Mario. We didn't see any, so we asked the guy working there if they had any in the back. He went back and brought back a guide by Prima that was officially $14.99, but had a sticker reading $9.99 pasted on it, and over that sticker was another reading $0.01. Confused, he just handed it to me for free.  :)

Strike that.  It now says $14 on Amazon.  I paid $2.29 for 40-50 Club Nintendo coins.   :silversmile:

Either the guy was stupid or the store was stupid (or the stickers were wrong).

Hmm, let's see. I don't remember having a best deals with video games...
