I was at EB Games checking out their DS selection when I noticed a stack of used games on the counter, with FF8 on top. At first glance, I thought it said $19.99, but then when I looked at it, I noticed it was only $9.99 (Canadian) - the cheapest I'd ever come across it before was $19.99. I was missing FF3, FF4, FF8, and FF12, so I decided I couldn't pass it by at that price. Then I looked in the rest of the stack and found FF Chronicles and Chrono Cross, also $9.99 each. FF8 is the original release (not Greatest Hits), as is FF Chronicles (is there a GH version of this?). Chrono Cross is GH.
So, three games I was missing (four, really) for $30CAN. I'm pretty pleased with that
Apparently someone just came and traded those in a few hours earlier and there was an original release FF7 in the stack, which they already sold.
And all this is after buying a DS Lite with Metroid Prime: Hunters, Brain Age, and Animal Crossing: Wild World. So $260 blown in one day. It's been a long time since I've spent that much money. I'm going to buy FF3 for DS as soon as they restock it around here, then I'll only be missing FF12!
