[General Discussion] GameStop GameDays Sale - Get iffy shit for cheap

I think I might go and try to get Ace Combat: Zero and Odin Sphere. I remember you guys going crazy for them ages ago, and they don't seem to be very easy to find used.

Know if this sale is going to be offered online as well as in local stores?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, it's offered online as well (I just ordered Zero and Katamari since I don't have time to go to GS today).

Don't forget the SAVER code for free (but long) shipping.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There's a different sale in Canadian EBs actually. The Gamedays for us is basically a random title that they stock for a day and heavily, heavily discount for JUST that day. Some stuff that's already come up has been shit like Timeshift and so forth, but people on CAG and RFD are saying Metroid Prime 3 and DQ Joker are amongst the 10 and 5 dollar games.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Id like to get Timeshift, it got good ratings. Not stellar, but good.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just found there's actually a GS in the same shopping center as this one market I go to, so I stopped by today. They had a lot of copies of a bunch of games, as well as Odin Sphere being mislabeled as $9.99 instead of $19.99. Took that, Ace Combat Zero, and a mediocre looking Pelican wireless PS2 controller (my PS2 controllers are dying a bit since my friends would keep dropping/throwing them). Run up at $50, told the dude they said $10 + $10 + $20, he went "damnit" and marked Odin Sphere down to $10 for me.

How ya doing, buddy?

Good shit, RR. It's funny, I'm the one who posts this thread and completely forgets that it started yesterday. Gotta check out the Gamestops in my area tomorrow.

FELIPE NO

Stopped by this afternoon and picked up Downstream Panic and Sega Genesis Collection, both for PSP. I had no problem using the 10% off coupon. Too bad most of the games are gutted, but it's still clear they got some new stock in just for the sale.

Downstream Panic is just so...perky. It's got the zany atmosphere of Loco Roco coupled with the gameplay of Lemmings.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I work for Gamestop and I have to say, the deals are great. I picked up Odin's Sphere. Brave Story New Traveler, and Valhalla Knights. It cost me around 60$, the employee discount didn't stack onto it, which was weird.

I do know that there will be certain sales online, but don't know which ones they will be.


(honestly last time I was on the Gamestop site, I was pre-ordering/paying off my limited edition Burning Crusade expansion)

Most amazing jew boots

Are any of the Sonic games worth $10? I was asking the employee there if any games were good, but I swear he's never played anything. Oh, also, since I don't have a PS3/360 and probably won't any time soon, is Scarface a good enough clone of GTA to be fun for $10?

How ya doing, buddy?

I can only vouch for Sonic Rush which was a pretty decent game. Probably saved the Sonic series from having a bunch of horrible newer games in a row.

I liked it for the most part.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Mega Collection's certainly worth $10! Sonic Riders and Heroes are worth shitting on just to make sure others avoid them.

Also yeah, Scarface is pretty rad.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm glad I got the SEGA Genesis Collection at HMV last year. Otherwise I wouldn't have played Phantasy Star IV ^_^ Great game that was.

I asked Secret Squirrel to find me Brave Story New Traveler and he found it for me yesterday. It costs over $40 (with tax) here in Canada, so I got a sweet deal.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Went by yesterday. Got Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and Viking which I forgot was included in the sale. Didn't seem to have any copies of Odin Sphere though...

I also got Army of Two even thought it wasn't on sale, since I wanted it anyhow and was already there spending money.

How ya doing, buddy?

I went by today, and as usual left Gamestop disappointed. Both of them had Sega Superstars Tennis (360) marked at $20. When I tried pointing out that the game's price is normally $20 and should be $15 the girl finally agreed to look it up in the computer, got a really confused look on her face, typed quite a bit while obviously having no clue what she was looking at, and finally told me again that it was $20. I might go back tomorrow and pick up the Sega Genesis Collection, though. I wanted to read some reviews to see if there was any difference between the PS2 and PSP versions since the PS2 is on sale for $10.

Had to laugh when I saw one of the Gamestops had 6-7 copies of Odin Sphere. That's 6-7x more copies than they had when it was first released.

At least I didn't come home empty-handed. I picked up Harvey Birdman on Wii for $17 at Circuit City.

FELIPE NO

I went ahead and bought some DS games I actually didn't own yet (shocking, I know), so I left with Dementium, Nervous Brickdown, and Mario & Sonic (not that great of a game, but at least my sister already has it so we can do more of the multiplayer beyond just the single card stuff).

I may go back and get a few more, and depending on what condition it's in I may go back and get Ace Combat Zero (I thought all the games were going to be gutted, but to my surprise I got all sealed copies).

Lucky. In both of mine 50-60% of the games had just been pulled straight off the wall and had multiple price stickers all over them. The first Sega Genesis Collection I picked up was even a broken case.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's how the games were like inside the bin, but when I got to the counter he switched them all for sealed copies. It may have just been for the DS games though, since there was only one copy of each game in the bin as opposed to having 2-3 copies of the games for all the other systems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ah well the PS2 version has Zaxxon as an unlockable and the PSP version has Super Zaxxon. I wish the PSP version had Zaxxon...I loved that game when I was a kid.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

So I stopped by and got Katamari Damaci and Odin Sphere today, which makes me awesome mctawsome n' stuff.

HELLOOOOOO Unproductive weekend!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Updated the list with the Accessories for sale. Screw DS games, I'm planning to get the Wii Remote Charger.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I really should've checked the email I got from gamestop. Didn't know they were discounting accessories too. Well, I hope they still have some charge packs kits left for the Wii and 360.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just an FYI, we're about to have a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale this weekend (which apparently starts tomorrow) on the used games and accessories.

I secured a 120GB 360 drive, Infinite Undiscovery, and Valkyria Chronicles. Life is good.

Most amazing jew boots

Might take this opportunity to finish up collecting the whole Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank series for the PS2.

Still need to secure a bigger hard drive and an arcade stick for my 360 as well.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hey Lukage, or anyone, how much do the 360 Hard Drives go for anyway?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The 120 gig units go for $100 used...but last I checked, $180 new. 60's are $100 new and $60 used.

The only price I know for sure is the 120 being $100.

I can check again tomorrow morning.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
