Anyways - I made my over to the video game section. The very first thing I saw was a display of "Player's Choice" and other budget priced GameCube titles for $14.99 - It appeared that any GameCube game currently retailing for $19.99 was on sale for $14.99. To be fair, I also noticed a few PS2 "Greatest Hits" and XBox "Platinum Hits" mixed in for the same $14.99 price - BUT the selection of titles definitely focused on the 'Cube. At first I thought that was great - until I hit the GameCube isle.
I would estimate that a good 75% of the 40 or so different GameCube titles they had available were severely marked down. I'm talking clearance prices. Recent releases which currently retail for $39.99 and $49.99 were marked down to $19.99, the "Player's Choice" and budget titles were marked down to $14.99 and $9.99. Only 7 or 8 of the games were selling at their full $49.99 price tag. Unfortunately, I either already owned the games or wasn't interested in what was available (a lot of kid's stuff).
I ended up buying Viewtiful Joe 2 for $19.99, but it looks like it was recently reduced to $19.99 by Capcom since GameStop appears to be selling it at that price now, too.

Sometimes I get coupons for buy 2 get one free on all videogame titles and $50 off $200 purchases. Those are good days. Except for when I don't have any money. . .

All I know is that last time I was at Toys'r'us they had all games at 59.99, even the most ancient stuff (Eternal Darkness?!?).

I picked up SMB 1 and 2 with this deal (about three months ago). It was a GREAT pickup. I loved SMB1 and I liked SMB2 (except for the minigames which I loved).
