Best deals you've gotten on video games?

I just got Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for $20 (half off) at Kmart. The game has only been out a month, and it's still 35 bucks for it used at GameStop.

Unfortunately, I missed the Serious Sam free weekend on Steam :(

...Kmart still exists?

I can vouch for him on taxes.

My best deal was without question the Xbox I just got. Got the new Xbox-Slim for literally nothing.

Gamestop had a great trade in deal for once, and I took full advantage. And because it was all trade in, I didn't have to pay taxes either.

I traded in one system, three controllers, two 20gig HDDs, a wireless adapter, and a memory card for about 305 bucks.
I didn't need the two extra controllers.

Let's see...

I've gotten oodles of things for free at Play N Trade. Hell I got a pokemon yellow for free the other day.

Explain?

Five dollars for Xenosaga Episode 1.

I would've said Portal, for free, but I passed on that deal because I'm an idiot.

Almost got the Introversion Pack on Steam during the sale, but I had no e-money at the time.
Other than that I can't think of anything.

I did that. Uplink is one of those games where a "game over" means you lose all of your progress and have to start from scratch. Well, later I think you can buy things to prevent that, but still. Frustrating.

Me too. If I had only added Steam just a little bit earlier . . .

Got a copy of Final Fantasy X for 7 bucks on Amazon Marketplace; my PS3 is one of the original backward-compatible models, and the guy also replaced the hard drive with a 120GB. Got it for $275. Probably the best deal of my life.

NY sales tax sucks.

Best deal? Mario Kart: Super Circuit for... 50¢.

It was a yard sale though so doesn't really count. That's pretty much it though.

Got an Atari 2600 with two controllers and 11 games for $30.

God Bless Flea Markets! <3

Every now and then I always go back to that guy to see if he has a working Colecovision. No luck so far... </3
