Thanks :)

Manhunt is pretty cool....not sure about any of the others.

I'm picking up FFX-2 though. For $10 you really can't go wrong! Thanks DP. :)

I liked Manhunt, which I had for PS2. Creepy but fun. I didn't play much of Hitman Contracts but it was a solid game. Not a fan of Mafia but I wouldn't say it's a BAD game, either. FFX-2 is a matter of taste.

All of these are well worth their price new. And 99% of the time, EBgames shows you if the game is a greatest hits or platinum edition on their site (see the PS2 version of Hitman Contracts? It's also $9.99 but in a greatest hits box - I would never point my friends to those :)).

EB Games Online has some nice deals -- got my Phantom Brave LE there for $20, when everybody else sold the regular version for $30.

I may hafta pick up that FFX-2, but I am already up to my ears in RPGs! Ah, addictions....

Manhunt's okay. For that price it may be worth it. I *think* that if you have a head set and you make noise the bad guys can hear you.

I picked up FFX2 last night and it seemed like they had a backstock of NON-GH versions, which was awesome, I was going to change my mind if they had a GH. hehehe I think after the end of the month though, it goes back up to $19.99 as that is what it rang up in the computer. Only after he typed in a PROMO code, did it take the price down to $9.99. Other than X2 there werent any other $9.99 games advertised throughout the whole store. Are the rest just and EBGames.com sale?

Mafia kicks ass, its my favorite GTA clone. The story is amazing. I played on the pc but I'm shure the Xbox version is pretty close.

Too bad none of those codes can be used on the games Joe mentioned since they're all new.

I wish I could though, then I'd be able to get Manhunt with 25% off plus free shipping.

I get over on them sometimes, I order from there all the time and use the Saver code to get the free shipping, and sometimes they send it to me Fedex.. I think I'm on their "Frequent Orderer List" or something. :P

Actually its all about working the system. Pop a 99 cent Genny or PSone game in your cart, then use cag15, SAVER.Shipping will be less than a dollar. OK not extrodinary, but I don't mind paying $1 to for shipping.

I cant thank posts like this enough, on how much $$$$ they have saved me. I want to thank everyone who has posted on this topic. You have really made my day on saving me at least $20 or more.

Those savers ARE a blast, I must admit.

I have been on a handheld kick lately... bought TONS of Game Gear games, and I just went to EBgames.com and bought 10 classic Gameboy games. I got the 16% off for order over $50, then 10% more for having an EB card, then free shipping.

That's 10 decent games for $6 a pop, including Dig Dig, both Earthworm Jim games, Street Racer, Paperboy, Contra Alien Wars, a shooter, and a couple of other good games.

It's going to get UGLY if I ever start collecting GBC or GBA games.

:D

This is exactly why I'm dreading the Gamestop takeover of EB. Gamestop will kill the deals and the Manual/Box garrantee.

That would be $3.01.

Or you can add a cheap Genny game, use CAG15, Edge, and SAVER and it will be $2.74 shipped.
