Looks like he traded in some crappy sports titles, perhaps.

Blockbuster can help you out! This is going to be one hell of a step by step rant, so get comfortable. Keep in mind I'm just using BB in general, this was spread across probably a half dozen stores.
EB = EBGames
BB = Blockbuster
GS = Gamestop
EB: Buy 18 shitty ps1 games - $46.91
Blockbuster: Trade in 10 shitty games, get 5 good games worth lots of credit. After promos (trade 2 games, get any used game for $9.99) and credit (from 10 titles traded in) - $34.51
Keep 1 title: James Bond: Everything or Nothing
EB: Sell 2 of those games + $35.20
BB: Trade other 2 high credit titles + $50.00 Blockbuster credit.
BB: Buy Castlevania for $10.59 worth of credit. (trade 2, get 1 for $10)
BB: Trade 4 more PS1 shitty titles, get Dark Cloud 2 and Drakengard - $15.18 credit
BB: Trade in last 4 PS1 titles, plus Madden 02 and NHL 02 from my collection, get 3 more titles worth lots of credit. - $19.77 credit
GS: Trade one of new 3 high credit titles for $20 credit, pickup Skies of Arcadia for $19.99 + Tax. - $1.19
GS: Sell last 2 high credit titles. + $40
GS: Buy 4 more shitty titles, buy 2 get 1 free sale. -$7.39
BB: Buy Disgaea and Fight Night. - $4.46 end of credit, -11.75 cash.
GS: Sell Fight Night. + $22.40
At this point, I've actually spent $4.15, and I've got:
PS2-James Bond: Everything or Nothing
PS2-Drakengard
PS2-Dark Cloud 2
PS2-Castlevania
PS2-Disgaea
Gcube-Skies of Arcadia: Legends.
Rock. Sunday rolls around and my Gamerush store gets a Ninja Gaiden, and I decide I want an Xbox.
FYE in the mall (kinda like a shitty best buy) is having a game sale. Buy 4 games, get $5 off each of the 4 games. I buy 4 sets of 4 games, all PS1, priced: $4.99 and $6.99. Perkar works there, I write down all the titles and go back to work, find out which ones are worth the most. So...
FYE: Buy 16 shitty PS1 titles - $16.96
BB: Trade in 14 ps1 titles, buy 7 games, one being Ninja Gaiden. Other 6 are high credit titles used to fund my Xbox and other xbox games. After promo (trade 2 get 1 for $9.99) and credit ($41.50 worth from crappy titles ) - $32.86
BB: Trade in 6 titles for $165.00 credit. Get 3 games for $9.99 each (Thief, Project Gotham, MechAssault). - $31.77 credit
BB: Buy Metal Arms / Brute Force on Employee account, + Buy 1 get 1 half off. -$20.75 credit. Leaves me with $112.48 credit left.
BB: Trade in last 2 PS1 titles, get KOTOR for $9.99, buy used xbox on employee account. - $109.34 credit.
BB: Spend last couple dollars on diet coke.
What a fiasco.
It makes me a sad panda that there aren't any Game Rush stores in new england.

Holy crap. It's been a while.
Wow. Nice score!
*high fives Hezus*
You sir, are the man.
Nice man, but WAAAAAAY too much work.
I'm a lazy bastard!
Tell me more about this sale please! Do they really give you $5 off of games marked $4.99? Even if they don't, there are a bunch of $9.99 and under games at my local FYE I'd love to pick up with that sale. Do you know if it's nationwide, and how long it lasts? Thanks!Originally Posted by hezeuschrist
That seemed like a whole lot of work.
Sorry Ryan, but your girlfriend is in another school.

Geez... did you factor gas, mileage, and time into that figure? That's a whole lot of running around. Cheers to you for pulling that one off, but I can assure you I'd not do the same thing!

So it's been updated. The entirely full run cost me $60.91. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is the only game missing from the picture.

God damn.
That is a nice steal. You must play Disgaea immediately. I can't believe you went through all that but I can see it was worth it, haha. Damn that is creative and very thought out. Or maybe not. But it seems genius. Unfortuneately out here in Arizona I am stuck with Gamecrazy.
