What Did you get from Gamestop today? (DC 30% off sale)

[spoon]

I took advantage of the 30% off Dreamcast items sale.

I picked up:

A Dreamcast system bundle
2 Sega Controllers
2 Sega VMU's
Cannon Spike (I am loving this game)
Illbleed
Sega Rally 2 (Which doesn't work) :(
Street Fighter 3 Double Impact
Zombies Revenge

Everything came up to 66 dollars. Not to bad of a price. Dreramcast are only 19.99. After the 30% off, they become 14.00.

As stated above, Sega Rally 2 doesn't work. I am going to exchange it tomorrow. I am looking to get either Street Fighter Alpha 3, or Heavy Metal. Which is better?

[Balloon Fight]

Im going to leave and get some stuff in about an hour, but since im a SFA3 NUT, i would say to get it first.
The game is so freaking good, and is actually balanced compared to other fighters. Plus it is hard to find nowadays.

[buttasuperb]

Wow, DC's are only $19.99 now?

Maybe I'll pick one up for my 2 cousins, they really like MvC2.

Get SFA3. It's not the greatest, SFA2 is much better, but you can't get that one on teh DC.

[Querjek]

*sigh*
Why must the nearest GS be 2 hours from here?

[ubersaurus]

Get Heavy Metal, because A3 sucked hard on the DC.

[scooterb23]

Was that sale only for today??

*Kicks COSI for making me work all day and half the night*

[spoon]

I am not sure. I hope not. I wanted to go back and pick up a few things later. On my receipt it says "Year end sale."

Anybody else?

[Balloon Fight]

I got Illbleed, Expendible, and Slave Zero today among other games for different systems.

[hu6800]

I scored a "DEATH DUEL" for the sega genesis for $1.00

[scooterb23]

Maybe one of these days I won't have to work the same hours Gamestop is open...so I can go spend some money!!! *Grumble grumble*

*kicks COSI again*

Yeah same here!

[slip81]

I did okay, picked up
VMU
Controller (broken)
Space Channel 5
Jet Grind Radio
Capcom vs. SNK (not working)

I'm gonna go back and return the contrller for another one, but i'm pissed about Capcom vs. SNK, i really wanted that one, but they have KOF 2000 (or 2001), so i'll probably get that in it's place, or maybe Illbleed.

[Evil E]

2 questions--
1.) is this at ALL Gamestops nationwide?
2.) how long is this DC sale going on for?

Thanks!
E.--

[kainemaxwell]

Apperently it is Gamestops nationwide and see above posts for how long the sale is going on.

[Starcade]

Bah, just got 2 new VMU's :(

[Oobgarm]

Actually, the Dreamcast sale lasts until the end of January. ;)

Loot your local stores! There be good deals to be had! :D

[MarkM2112]

Wow! Sounds like a great deal! Do you know if the GameStop value card also applies to this deal? Or is it one deal or the other?

[Perkar]

at one gamestop i picked up prince of persia: arabian nights, street fighter 3 alpha, and max steel. the tool couldn't find max steel, so he started ringing me up for the other two and i asked him if i could use my card on top of the offer... he said not technically, but he'd give it a shot anyway since they didn't have the one game for me. the extra 10% went through, so i got those two games for $14.02 after discount and tax. not bad.

hit up another gamestop and there sat a sega sports dc with it's controller... at $14, it was calling my name.

i think i'm gonna go hit up another gamestop today that's a little farther away, i'll update the post if i find anything =)

The only Dreamcast game that my GameStop had that I didn't already own was PowerStone 2. They had 4 copies for $24.99 each (before discount) but EACH AND EVERY ONE was beaten to holy hell. :angry:

[FF6]

I just bought Final Fantasy 1 for nes for about 5 dollars on ebay. I just checked the price on ebgames and there selling them for 35 dollars. Is it really worth that much or is eb games jacking up the price.

My EB Games has one for $34.99
When I mentioned it to the manager and told him they sell for less than $10 on EBAY he said "oh I thought they sold for $50 OR MORE"

[josekortez]

I got Stupid Invaders new for $10.99, which may or may not be a good deal, considering I walked across the street and bought Blue Stinger and Alien Front Online for $4.99 each at Circuit City. There was also a Bomberman Online new at Gamestop for $6.99, but at this point, it isn't good for anything but trade bait, so I have to think hard about that.

[kainemaxwell]

Thanks to the sale and a Gamestop gift card my friend got me I picked up a new VMU, Crazy Taxi and the Earnhardt Sr. Nascar Sportspick figure.

[Evil E]

Everything came up to 66 dollars. Not to bad of a price. Dreramcast are only 19.99. After the 30% off, they become 14.00.


At my local Gamestop, they DC games were slim pickin's--they had used Dreamcast systems for $24.99 and they said the 30% did not apply to the systems--FYI

[kainemaxwell]

I had to remind the guy at GS about the 30% off sale. he told me first it ended a long time ago then he checked with his boss there who told him it was still on.

[Drexel923]

The guy at the GS I went to today told me that this was the last day...but it does last longer I'll have to go to the other stores near me. Anyway, I got the following:

Marvel vs Capcom
Giga Wing
Hydro Thunder

The best part was that the guy gave me the 30% off, plus 10% off for having the GI card, plus the buy 2 discount. :D

[le geek]

Picked up Gauntlet Legends(gen case w/man), Skys or Arcadia(complete), and Grandia II(case no man) :)

Got 30% and buy two get one free :D

Cheers,
Ben

That's insane. I believe you, but why wouldn't they apply the sale to systems? Crazy...For the record, the GS's in Albuquerque will sell you a DC for $19.99.

Anyway, pickins had slimmed out by the time I got there, but I managed to get Power Stone and Toy Story 2 together for $17.00. Not too bad. I might swing by the Gamestop on the west side if I find myself pining for Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

[Xskaterjake]

We got a buy 2 get 1 free sale instead, I was gonna pick up some nes and genny, but backed out and bought a gamecube gameboy link instead for my animal crossing.

[Keir]

I went to one Gamestop and they told me the sale had ended. I didn't feel like arguing so I went to the other one across the street (yes, there are 2 right near each other in Hanover). They told me the sale was still on, but then forgot to take the 30% off when they rang up my stuff. I had him do it again, but then I didn't get the buy 2 get 1 free discount. : (

Selection was really slim, so I just got:
1 controller
1 extension cable
1 memory card
1 rumble pack
Shadow Man
3 NES games

Not bad for $21 (more than half that was the NES games).

Thanks for the reply "jonjandran". So i take it they have no clue? Who know maybe I can buy about 20 of them on ebay and they might atleast give me 20 or 15 dollars a piece. Profit, Profit, Profit.
But, I doubt that. :)

[spoon]

I went back today.

Sadly, I was told that systems were no longer 30% off. No matter though. I got another because they had a black Sega Sports one.

for $30.00 I picked up

Black Sega Sports DC
4 extension cords
1 green VMU
3 jump packs
Toy Commander

My buddy also got a DC and a few games. We get back to my place and he opens up his DC bundle. It comes with a PSone A/v pack. That is really gonna help him out. I gave him the other one I had.

I guess they do look kind of similar.

[josekortez]

This weekend, I got:

Sega Sports black Dreamcast
Spec Ops II: Omega Squad
Bomberman Online (for the trade box)

Spec Ops was free with the first purchase because I got Strikers 1945 finally.

[Keir]

Are these sales (30% off DC and B1G1free) still on?

[Oobgarm]

Yessir, the 30% off one is good until the end of the month.

Buy 2 get 1 ended last weekend.

Remember though, I'm in Cincinnati, so things could be different where you are... :)
