Title: bullshit
Post by: Wrench on October 12, 2007, 03:02:08 PM
My local Gamestops still have ridiculous prices for Gamecube and GBA games.

Melee is currently sold used for $26.99 which is completely crazy. Way too much for an old game.
I also saw a GBA Final Fantasy game used with no case for $24.99. When will they ever lower their prices for older stuff? I really want Melee, but not at that price. I MIGHT GET A JOB THERE THOUGH  powerofone;

Do your Gamestops have bad prices?

Melee kind of sucks, don't get it unless you end up playing with a lot of friends.

My gamestop employees don't like me for all the browsing I do. >.>

But they're grumpy old fogey's who know nothing about gaming, so that's okay. :3

It's usually not for anything special, just the new releases anf, for whatever reason, though I lack an XBox, at all of the 360 accessories. Some of the DS accessories are also rather nifty.

The people at my Gamecrazy all know me pretty well but they never have good games there used. Gamestop employees at my town all seem like they hate  their job and they don't know shit about video games sometimes. They didn't know how to lan a 360 with another 360.

Gamestop always has billions of used games for cheap though some are expensive. Silent Hill 4 is like $30 and Resident Evil 3 for the Gamecube is like $30 and so is A Dog's Life. I know A Dog's Life is semi-rare but it doesn't cost over $20 and Resident Evil 3 should be about $25.

Silent Hill 4 would be $15 at the Gamecrazy I know of if they had it.


And Game Rush is a joke, they don't have shit for games there.

And everytime I go in GBA games are fucking expensive and so are most Nintendo DS games. None are dirt cheap like PSP, PS2, and Xbox games. Gamecube games I don't look through too much because I only want like 5 more games from GCN and I'll have every title I wanted.

I bought it for $20.

They're selling I love Katamari for like $30 at mine, I'll just pick it up one day, not missing much since the PSP one is the best version besides the controls so far.

Really? So which one should I get? Katamari Damacy or the PSP version? Cause I've been wanting to try the game out.

Depends, the PSP game is a better game but the controls suck really really badly.

(http://www.gametab.com/images/ss/ps2/3565/box-l.jpg)

Get this for sure, all of the games are the same but whichever is cheapest. the PSP one will suck if you haven't played and loved either of the PS2 games. And for god's sake, don't play the 360 version, controls suck.

Either of the PS2 ones.

Yes, the prices are ridiculous. At my gamestop they had Tactics Ogre for 4 months used and it was 14 bucks the whole time. I ended up buying it, just because I wanted to play it so bad, but seriously, how old is this game? 14 bucks is way too high. Plus, I refuse to buy FFTA, even though I want to try it extremely badly. They are charging something like $20 for it, and they have had 5-7 copies of it for a couple months now.
