OK, we're talking about cheap games, right?

So, the first thing I wanted to tell you guys about is froogle.com     for those of you who haven't used it yet. It's a tool that searches for products for sale, including games. I believe it also searches for used games on ebay and other sites.

Anyway, you just type in the name of the game you want. It searches and gives you some results. On the left hand column, there is a link that says sort by: "Price: lowest to highest". Click that and more results will be displayed. After this, you will have to go through some guides etc for the game,because they are cheaper. However, keep going through the pages of results, and you will soon find your game for the lowest price found. I have found that this tool is very helpful at times.

Next (this is only for people who live in Canada)

futureshop.ca is a great site. It has games on offer all the time. What I have found is that as soon as a game comes out, it is reduced to $49.99 canadian on the site for a while. This happened for RE4 as well as Paper Mario & MP2:E. I bought RE4 and MP2 from there, and it really helped because the other stores didnt go less than $60. Occasionally it has other games on sale (1 example is Madden 2005 for $29.99 CDN in November). BTW it has free shipping too

another site is compusmart.com. This site is weird (in a good way). THey had Day of Reckoning for $29.99 CDN when it was $60-70 everywhere else.

Ok anyway sorry for the long post - thanks for reading

And I forgot, if a game is more than one word, put the whole name in paranthesis

eg if you want Mario Party 6  type in "Mario Party 6"

sorry

What ever happened to NintendoFanGirl?  I miss her.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

http://www.buyritegames.com/product_information.asp?rc=frgl&number=GC-BURNOU2

It's 12.99 btw, and I really don't think anyone read my above thread, but i found it from froogle.com, and i could probably find a new copy of this game for even cheaper on that site. Plz see my above thread for details....

Oh, and Burnout 2 is a great game, now just hoping EA will finally bring Burnout 3 to GCN - 2 was quite popular

I'm pretty sure you should never buy anything from buyritegames. From what i heard they basically scam alot of people.

Check out Best Buy right now.  You can choose from a long list of games for all three major consoles where every pair of games costs you only 12.50 (that is 12.50 a game for any even number of games purchased).

Another way of saying that is that if there's some game you want for 20 bucks, you can get another one for just 5 more.  If you can arrange store pickup, you can even skip shipping costs (you'll have to pay taxes of course, but even in lousiana sales tax on a 12.50 game is barely a dollar).
