The online price for Dead or Alive Ultimate on EB Game's site dropped again to $19.99 yesterday. I don't know how long it will stay there, but I finally picked it up :)
I think it changed back down to $19.99 because they had it labeled at that, but when you added it to your cart, it became $34.99, so I emailed them to ask if I could add it at $19.99. They emailed me back and told me it was working, and now it is $19.99 so that must be the real price! :D

Here's a few more I've seen:
EB Games:
Space Channel 5 Special Edition (PS2) - $4.99
Is this for new or used? I was in EB a couple weeks ago and only used ones were on sale (which they didn't have). The news were still $15. Did it change?
I know it sucks, but I'm gonna pick up Fight Club for Xbox. I can't resist the thought of being able to beat up Fred Durst with Meatloafs boobs.

I was close to a Circuit City today and dropped by:
Powerdrome (Xbox and PS2) $5
Not a bargain price, but FABLE (Xbox) is now $20.
They had ONE Dreamcast game on their shelves, Space Channel 5, and it was one cent.

EB Games
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (PS2) $8
FF Crystal Chronicles (GC) $10
XIII (PS2) $3
I was a little disappointed with XIII, but it's worth 3 bucks for the music alone.
I'm sure Auto Modellista can't be that bad either...

Nice. Just picked up Fight Club (Xbox) and Space Channel 5 Special Edition. Also got Hot Shots Golf 1 & 2 for $5 each. I love the deals EB are having lately.

I thought I should mention that Zoo Keeper for DS dropped to $20 recently. I just picked it up and it was totally worth it.

I went to another EB today and saw that Freaky Flyers (PS2) is $4.99 as well. I added it to the list in my previous post.
Also, for any of you who have a Fred Meyer nearby, all non-clearance PlayStation games were marked down to $5 less than their original price, according to a post on CheapAssGamer (for example, Final Fantasy Tactics and Gran Turismo 2, which used to $14.99 each, are now $9.99 each).

It was just a few weeks ago I was in EB eyeing PS2 Neo Contra at $39.99 new and thinking to myself that's trade-in I'd like to try a little further down the line after some price drops. Now I see it's $15.00 new and $25 for a pre-played!

Not a bargain price, but certainly a bargain:
Gamestop:
La Pucelle Tactics (used) $15
Gamestop dropped the price significantly from $40 to $15. For a high in demand niche game like La Pucelle certainly a bargain. (My used copy looks minty mint.)
I picked up Space Channel 5 SE, auto modellista, Malice and Fight Club for the bargain prices (new) at EB today. $26 bucks for 4 games, not a bad deal at all.

One of the local Gamestop stores had La Pucelle new for $19.99, so I snagged it. It wasn't the last copy, either.

I didn't know that the price for the new game dropped as well. I haven't seen a copy of La Pucelle for such a price in some time. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a strategy RPG for the PS2 made by the makers of Disgaea, "Nippon Ichi".

Noticed another cheap new PS2 game at an EB today - Rogue Ops for $6.99.
Also, starting on Sunday and going through the 16'th, Circuit City will have the following games on sale for $9.99 each:
Hitman 2 (PS2, Xbox)
Ford Racing 3 (PS2, Xbox)
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (PS2)
SOCOM II (PS2)
Note that Ford Racing 3 has been $14.99 at most of the major chains since it was released a couple weeks ago, so that is a deal. And to give credit where it's due, I got this information on CheapAssGamer courtesy of The Successful Dropout.

I am so glad I decided to wait a few days for Ford Racing 3.
Am I the only one here who thinks this is a fun series?

No man I own both Ford Racing games on Xbox, was only one who had it on pre-order that is how excited I was about FR 3. Love both games for Xbox and having a blast currently playing thru them :D
GameStop:
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (GCN) $9 new
EB Games
XIII (PS2) $3 new

More cheap new games at EB:
Blowout (PS2) - $6.99
Intellivision Lives (GCN) - $9.99
Dead To Rights (GCN) - $9.99
That hasn't been the best deal on the GCN version of Dead To Rights (it was $4.99 at EB for a little while in December) but I felt it was still cheap enough to mention.
And here's a couple more at Best Buy:
Midway Arcade Treasures 1 (PS2) - $9.99
Pro Race Driver (PS2) - $9.99
I added these to my list on the first page of the thread. Click here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=626043#626043) to go directly to it.
Also, I made a mistake with the PlayStation markdowns at Fred Meyer. They're not $5 off the marked price, but they have been marked down to $5 less than they originally were. For example, Final Fantasy Tactics and Gran Turismo 2 were originally $14.99 each but are now $9.99 each. I apologize for the error. Still not a bad deal though.

Not sure if it's still goin on (or that much of a bargain really), but Front Mission 4 (New) at EBgames is only $12.99. Nice game
Also not sure if this is locally, but Walmart had several XBox titles temporarily reduced, Doom 3 CE being $52.00
Bah...thats like...no tax. oh well...

Not bargain prices, but significant price drops:
EB / Gamestop
Mega Man X Command Mission (GC, PS2, new) $20
EB / Gamestop / Best Buy / Kmart
Mega Man X8 (PS2, new) $20
