Whats your most awesome bargain for a game? Be it a rare game or one you've been after for a while ...

I totally got this nintendo scope for the snes almost brand new in box, all the bits and pieces including the plastic wrap for $5 at my local op shop! I was like handing over the money shaking all the while, thinking "they are so going to know im totally getting a bargain and charge me more!"

lol

I love games, dont get me wrong, but its seriously the bargain hunt I love!!! Thats addictive, trying to find something cool at random places icon_smile.gif

Hmmm. Probably the best deal I ever got was a sealed copy of Perfect Dark (N64) for $10.

I also found a Viewtiful Joe disc (GC) lying on the floor in EB a few years back. Quickly put the conveniently sized disc in my pocket and walked out. Score! icon_razz.gif

Depends on how you classify bargains, back when games were still classed as toys I got Double Dribble on the NES for $39.95 or 1/2 the normal price when Target made a pricing mistake, so at 12 years old that seemed like a real bargain icon_biggrin.gif

I'd have to say getting a boxed Sega Master System II and 23 games for $5 at a Garage sale was a major bargain.

Also a complete and basically brand new Sega Master System 3D glasses for $30 was a score

Monster Rancher on PS1 for $10 after it was put on clearance at Target.

Race Driver Grid, Tenchu Dark Secrets, Worms Open Warfare, GTA IV, Double pass to A Night in Fantasia, 360 DVD remote, PALGN T-shirt, Halo Wars Wars Limited Edition Contents, all for a grand total of $0 thanks to either PALGN themselves or the members of the forum. Man I love it here.

Never really got many bargains. Did get the LE 360 controller for about $100 and sold within a week for $200. Guess thats a bargain compared to what it coulda been worth.

I got Magnum S4 for $7 from dvd pacific. Pricing error. bargain there.

Maybe Hexen on 64. I remember that back then pretty much all games were $99, so I was stoaked to see this for like $7. I took the game to the the the guy (or probably got my mum too) and asked if it was correct. He told me no, it was only like $2.50 or something. Not sure on the exact details, but I got Hexen new around it's release on 64 for under a fiver.
