Also, Wind Waker, Wario World, Soul Calibur II and F-Zero are $60 each.

I thought about the e-Reader.. But I don't think it works on the GB Player. =o

Plus Nintendo's kinda stopped putting it to any use at all. =/

I think it does, I think it does, I think it does. But I could be wrong. So check it out to be sure if you want one. I haven't gotten one yet, I have been tempted, but the price is a little to much for me to jump in right now, it's like 34.99 and that is the cost of a first party GBA game, well most of them anyways.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #77 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:47:37 AM »

I should read up on or something. I wouldn't mind an e-Reader, seeing as I've collected alot of the swipe cards for no real reason O_O

=O
BIG EB SALE.
Started yesterday, it goes for a MONTH! HOLY CRAP THE SHOP WAS FULL OF PS2 GAMES. The table would of had well over 500 PS2 games spread over it, but like.. not... 500... different games. Random games are 10%, 25% or 50% off.

In GameCube land, it's super smell. F-Zero's $50, Batman Rise of Pennuuus is $25, XIII's $50, Dragonball's $45 and um. The end. GBA's even worse. I think the only game reduced in Splinter Cell at 50% off. But if you're looking to score a PS2 bargain, go go. Extermination's $10, Evil Dead's $15, Warhammer's $20. =o

Also, it would seem publishers are going to send them unsold unpopular stock throughout this sale. Maybe Atari will send all those copies of SOA: L I know they have hidden in their garage. ;__;

Gamecube is $137 at EB instead of $199. Which is $30 more than a SP! :-O

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #79 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:02:41 AM »

You are so strange Infernal, why would you collect something you can't use? Nevermind, I probably already know, you do it because its something you do, just because, rite? =D

I have several swipe cards, but I got them from magazines.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #80 on:** June 16, 2004, 01:39:10 AM »

Yep! =D
Heh, well... I'm now the 'proud' owner of an e-Reader! I got EB to price match, then traded in Godzilla and Simpsons Road Rage. THEY GAVE ME $25 FOR ROAD RAGE. THAT'S $10 MORE THAN I PAID FOR IT! Plus it has no instruction manual. O_O

$15 for Godzilla. =o
So I ended up giving them no money, just poo games.

It's pretty nifty. My GameCube looks bloody retarded now! Jet GC, Indigo GBP, and this thingy sticking out! It came with Donkey Kong JR., Air Hockey-e, Manhole-e and some Pokemon cards! Scanning all those DKJ cards was a bitch.

But, I am CRUSHED. I went to get my copies of Excitebike, Tennis and Mario Bros. out today and they were ALL CRUSHED. ;_____;

The e-Reader can't read them at all! ARRRRRR!!
Also, I am crushed X2 that the US got so many more NES e-Reader games! We only got Excitebike, Mario Bros. and Tennis here.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #81 on:** June 16, 2004, 03:14:53 AM »

well that sucks, you can't flatten then out somehow, setting heavy stuff on them to make them flat again?

Kudo's on getting it for no cost, and even more for turning in a game and getting more back on it that you paid for it, that is awesome.

Nah, I tried that. They'd obviously been crushed under the text book thingy for a long time, there was a big icky crease line through the middle, which causes the e-Reader to go "BUPBOW!"

Oh well, I got Mario Bros.-e yesterday. The rebuilding begins! ^_-

- Pokemon Colosseum - $87
- Mario Party 5
Zelda: WW

blol three Infernal posts in a row. Anyway, Target's much hyped Toy sale starts tomorrow, (Stores open at 8 AM). It ends on the 1st. The actual game 'bargains' fall pretty flat, but er, yeah.

Any 2 of the following GameCube games for $49
- Sonic Adventure 2
- Vexx
- Micro Machines (I didn't even know this got ported to GC)
- Men in Black II
- Taz Wanted
- Monopoly Party
- Legends of Wrestling 2
- Burnout (Target claim you save $75.50 on this one... sure....)
- Virtua Striker 3 (It has an actual Sonic Team in it

)
- Mary Kate and Ash Face Sweet 16
- ATV 2

BeyBlade, $35
Pokemon Colosseum, $85

The GBA, Xbox and PS2 sales aren't even worth bothering about. I don't really see how Yu-Gi-Oh for $70 on GBA is a massive bargain. =\

Oh, but Dancing Stage Megamix is $50 on PS2. And Namco's Plug and Play mini-console is $30.

Shift Key · « **Reply #87 on:** July 22, 2004, 09:51:37 PM »

Oh yeah, found an Atari controller plugged into a TV at work last night. I had to control myself from grabbing the controller and destroying it. It was an all-in-one thing plugged directly into the AV ports, which had me mildly turned on.
So I will investigate later on tonight because it didn't look like it was working. This could be very bad news for Nintendo, with Atari launching a mass assault on last place in Australia. Or not.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #88 on:** July 23, 2004, 12:26:18 AM »

Yeah, I had a good long look at the Namco Plug and Play today. It requires 4 AA batteries, it has no AC adaptor. Stuff that. =\
Oh also, those 2 for $49 games are $24.50 each. I was thinking you'd HAVE to buy 2, but no. Sonic Adventure 2's finally in Player's Choice packaging.

Mario · « **Reply #89 on:** August 13, 2004, 03:36:15 PM »

F-Zero GX
Mario Party 5
Soul Calibur 2
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

are apparently all going to be Players Choice titles soon.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #90 on:** August 19, 2004, 05:20:46 AM »

EB is having another sale-o-rama, except this time it's just preowned stuff. 10 - 50% off though, worth checking out.

I got Killer Instinct Gold for $8 =D

Caillan · « **Reply #91 on:** August 21, 2004, 05:47:58 PM »

Donkey Konga is only $90AUD for a preorder at DVDCrave. With the drums and all, I would've thought it'd be a few bucks more expensive... maybe they don't realise it comes with them yet? The shipping will probobly cost a bit more, though.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #92 on:** September 01, 2004, 05:16:01 PM »

Oh hey, spend $100 at EB and get a $25 gift voucher, it ends Saturday. Also, (not Nestrendo related) if you trade in three Xbox/PS2/GC games, you'll get GTA: SA for $10 (you have to pre-order).

HMMMM. GAMECUBE. EB.
- Cat(girl)woman (lol massive flop) - $39.95
- That new.. Xtreme G game.. whatever it is - $29.95
- BloodRayne - $29.95
- Die Hard Vendetta - $19.95
- Freestyle Soccer, or something - $19.95

How very boring. =o

Kaboth · « **Reply #93 on:** September 15, 2004, 11:36:24 AM »

Well I get all my games from Ebay.com.au ussually. Most gamecube games are still in good condition with manuals because the console isn't very old like snes where manuals are rare. There are some risk but being able to save over 50% on rrp on almost everything makes it worth it in my book. Plus visiting local retailers is a fair hassle for me and a bit of a gamble due to their lack of games on shelf.

Mario · « **Reply #94 on:** September 17, 2004, 05:18:24 PM »

Sonic DX, Worms 3D and Sonic Heroes are going Players Choice soon.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #95 on:** September 24, 2004, 04:04:07 AM »

Wario World and Medal of Honor Rising Sun are $49.95 at Toys R Us. R: Racing is $39.95 (without Pac-Man

) at EB and Pokemon Red/Green is $59.95 pretty much everywhere for the next week or so. :rock:

Mario · « **Reply #96 on:** September 25, 2004, 12:04:35 AM »

Everywhere except EB ;__;

Wario World is tempting at that price...

Shift Key · « **Reply #97 on:** September 26, 2004, 11:48:49 PM »

WWE Day of Reckoning is out in EB for $80 - been getting mixed reviews, generally around the 80-85% mark. I shall grab it when I have money

Mario · « **Reply #98 on:** September 29, 2004, 09:24:32 PM »

I'd get it if wrestling wasn't the worst thing that ever happened to the world ever and it sucks and

Shift Key · « **Reply #99 on:** September 30, 2004, 03:56:09 AM »

I'm sorry that Raw 2 on xbawx is such hilarious multiplayer fun. Smacking the referee in the head with a chair is hilarious. Suprise box attacks backstage in between events are hilarious. And four guys holding on to the title belt in a ladder match, madly mashing buttons and abusing the tv is hilarious.

So very sorry <3
