    Default Surprise Find

    What's the best price you've ever gotton a good game for? What was that game? Sure, we always find dodgy 1/10 rated games in the bargain bin but every so often we also come across a gem, something that makes you think "Wow, it's awesome AND cheap!"

    Today, I found Killzone for $19.95 (Aust). I NEVER play FPS but I made an exception in this case. Not only was it at a pretty good price, but it's also been backed up by some pretty decent reviews.

    I found (and bought) Metroid Prime for the GCN for a mere $5.99. Man that was sweet.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    I paid... I think it was 10 bucks... for a used copy of Vandal Hearts, which isnt very popular but I thought it was an amazing game and I very much enjoyed it.

    Half Life 2 for 14.99
    Warcraft 3 for 12.99

    I got more out of them than virtually any game I've paid full price for. Also, HL2 included CS, which continues to entertain me on an almost daily basis.

    I beat that. I got it with a copy of FFVIII for $15 total at an old game shop a few years back.

    That's my best find, really.

    I can't think of any exceptional deals I've gotten on games, but one of my friends found a copy of Final Fantasy III for the SNES at a pawn shop for like, three bucks.
