Anyone ever get really lucky in terms of pricing when buying a game?

-I got the Onimusha games (1-3) all for under $20. Yeah the games were used, but in perfect conditon.

-Devil May Cry 2 and 3 each for only $10 both close to their initial release.

Their are a couple more but I just can't think of them right now. Anyone else got some great buys?

I always buy used stuff off Amazon. I never pay full price unless it's a series I go out of my way to support like the Tales series, Xenosaga, or Final Fantasy (as if that needs my money anyway).

But I've bought the likes of Prince of Persia, Silent Hill 2 and 3, X-Men Legends 1 and 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Shadow Hearts 1 and 2, Baten Kaitos, and a few others at around 20 bucks or less. Some of them have gone up quite a bit since then too :jess:

It was back in 2002, before Suikoden III even came out. I just finished the first one, and asked if they had II in stock. They did, so I bought it. And then I found out about how insanely coveted it was. ^_^

When FFX released, I got it brand new along with a new copy of FFVII for the PS1 for a total of $40 off of eBay. My favorite purchase of all-time.

Metroid Prime: $5

That's pretty much the best deal I've got. Although, given the amount of time I've lost to it and how much fun I've had, Super Smash Bros. Melee for $25 was a great deal, in my opinion.

Well the only good bargin I've ever found around here was Xenosaga II for $30AUD (when EB Games were selling it for $99AUD at the same time).

Never found anything else. =\

These days, FFVII tends to sell for around £18-£25, so you did quite well there.

I bought Suikoden II for $15 I think. I played it for 20 minutes, didn't like it and gave it away to someone for free. Can't imagine why people like it so much.

Back in the early 90's when games on CDs were relatively new I got a couple CDs with 5-10 PC RPGs each on them. One had Populous on it and another had Populous 2, which are really great games. One had Might & Magic III, another great game. I got a King's Quest that way too, can't remember which one. You never know what you'll find in a bin of crap no one else will buy.
