Your biggest steal

[subject_87]

At Gamestop, I got a new copy of Bioshock 2 for $20.

...But it didn't run on my semi-antiquated computer, so I gave it to my friend.

 

[MEEBO17]

I traded two $10 wii games for a $80 gamestop giftcard from a reaalllyyy dumb friend

 

[omicron1]

Assassin's Creed 2, PC, for $20. Less than a month after release. Effectively, I bought it used.

Man, it felt good stickin' it to the Ubisoft man.

EDIT: Oh, and I got Dirt 2 for $1, back when Direct2Drive had that fun coupon combination.

 

[Duvans Mammor]

Soul Calibur 3 for 2 euros. I think they marked the price wrong. It was supposed to be 20.

 

[Sronpop]

Forza 3, preowned on the label(it wasn't still had the dlc token and was sealed) - 20 euro! This was 5 months after it came out! I found it for 35 preowned earlier, yet I got it for 20 new!

Dragon Age Origins AND Awakenings both new for 40 Euro

XIII - 2 Euro

The Sabotuer - New for 12 Euro

BlazBlue Calamity Trigger - New for 12 Euro

I work in a shopping centre and go to the game store 2 twice a week to check prices usually. Any time something hits a certain price for a limited time, sale or otherwise, I know about it and take advantage of it. I routinely buy 4/5 games at a time if the price is right.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis, 5 euros

WHAT THE HELL? I should have paid more from this...

 

[blankedboy]

Oblivion GOTY for £6.

I win, yes?

Or how about every DOOM game ever released for £10?

Oh, how empty my hard-drive would be without Valve...

I can beat your DooM price...

Hm, Minecraft for 20 bucks (nz currency, shut up) was probably the cheapest game I ever bought. Prices here are hiiiiiiiiigh.

 

[Hauntghost20]

gta 4 for $14 2 days BEFORE it came out on ebay :0

NOW THATS A STEAL

 

[Koroviev]

I purchased World of Goo and a few other games as part of Steam's Indie Clever pack for $5. I feel that I received more than my money's worth.

 

[Croix Sinistre]

I got Marvel vs. capcom 2 for roughly 10 bucks in the marketplace when before it was re-released it was going for 90 bucks plus on PS2 and Xbox.

But I guess anyone who purchased it from there got that steal too...

 

[Sixcess]

Portal for free, and it's one of the very best games I've ever played.

Alternately, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat for £7 for both, during a Steam sale at Halloween.

I really really like Steam.

 

[thejboy88]

We have a second-hand video game store in the UK called CEX (Yes I get the joke), where I bought Silent Hill 2 for £2.50. Best purchase ever.

 

[PeePantz]

I traded some medicinal leaf for a PS3. That was the ultimate steal. Not to mention, I don't even smoke this *ahem*medicine.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

Orange Box for $1.25

Day of Defeat: Source for $2

 

[Karhukonna]

Assassin's Creed II Complete Edition for about 20 euros. The other store had the ordinary edition for about 59,95 euros, so I was kinda like "wut?". The same store too, just in a different town. I swear, these people pricing these games have got to be retards. The store that had AssCreed II for 59,95 (fairly reasonable) also sells Haze (that massive fail of a game few years back) for 74,95. What the hell!?

 

[Tsunimo]

5 games.
Each game worth 15-30 USD each.
For $5.
I love you Steam.

 

[Reaper195]

Final Fantasy 13 Collectors Edition for $60NZD. Usually it's about $130. Only got it because it was cheap, haven't played a FF game since the first few hours of 10.

 

[Choppaduel]

a new sealed Soul Calibur 3 (PS2) copy for $3 CAD.

or Deus Ex collection for $5 USD on steam.

or possibly VtM:B for $7.50 CAD used.

prices include tax.

 

[Firetaffer]

I was entered into the Portal 2 Beta! Woo!

Ok I actually didn't, but I would say the humble indie bundle, $1.00USD for 6 freakin' Awesome Games!

 

[Sgt. Sandstorm]

Assassins Creed 1: Free
Mass Effect 1: Free
Fallout 3: Free

"Reviewing" games for your local Games store is great
