    Default The official used & new game & accessories price drop thread :)

    I was in gamestop and I noticed alot of new price drops on used games. If I wasn't paying attention I would have missed Logans war. If you are out and see a nice drop post what you find because there website doesn't give complete listings anymore.

    Yesterday I saw used Radien 3 ps2 12.99 down from 24.99

    used Syphon filter logans shadow psp was 17.99 down from 34.99---nice

    used Ratchet and clank size matters PSP 24.99 down from 34.99

    used Metal slugs anthology 17.99 down from 34.99

    Alien syndrome 9.99 psp used

    The 360 usb fan cooler with the vga out not the intercooler New 14.99 down from 29.99

    I noticed that there has been a few 360 official vga cables used bagged in the accessories for 9.99.

    Ninja gaiden sigma ps3 34.99 used new 39.99

    god am i getting tired of these price drop / clearance threads.

    THIS IS NOT CHEAPASSGAMER.COM!

    if its 1 AMAZING deal, then great, it deserves a post. but this is freaking ridiculous.


    this should have its own forum if anything.

    Agreed.

    Well sorry poofta. It is just that alot of us frequent stores in search of deals and alot of times the sticker price doesn't reflect the actual price so I just figured it would be great to have a thread to reflect good used price drops.
    So we can be on it. It is not cheap ass gamer but we love good deals.

    dude, me too, yes, we all shop at these stores, and we all love bargains (i just spend 150$ on the 35% off used ps2/xbox/gc used games sale at Gamestop), but this isnt the place for them!

    -but-

    go to www.cheapassgamer.com which has a HUGE entire forum for *only* these kinds of threads and deal, and another for dvds and another for .... etc etc.

    the current front page of DP Modern gaming has 5 freaking price drop/sale threads. this is not where it belongs.

    Fair enough The only reason I didn't list in the others was because I didn't want to take it off topic.

    I honestly do not see a problem with these threads. So just cause IGN.com posts all the news and reviews and media for games, does that mean we don't need to go to 1UP.com or Gamespot.com either? That logic makes no sense. Just cause there is a site that gives us cheap prices on games we shouldn't share the knowledge else where? What if some people aren't registered on CAG and they can't see those deals. Maybe this site should have a forum for that kinda stuff, but don't whine just cause we are trying to help eachother find good deals on games so we don't have to pay full price. How come no one complains about the Buying/Selling forum? That is basically the same as CAG's trader section too.

    I can understand if the content is bothering people in the Modern Gaming forum but honestly there is no where else to post it unless a new forum is created.

    EDIT: I remember MS:A being $25 at GS last I checked. I'm probably wrong though. $18 is a better deal but I still won't be picking it up. The only Gameboying I do is on a micro, and I've tried playing MS:A on it. The screen is just too small for MS.

    I meant no offense to you. It's the overall situation that needs correcting, not just this specific post.

    I don't have a problem with these threads either ... the simple solution to "too many" would be to consolidate them to ONE "deals" thread **EDIT** AND/OR sub-forum.

    I'm as frugal as they come, I buy a LOT of games, yet it's actually a pretty rare occasion that I buy anything on launch.

    Nothing says "acceptable time to purchase" than a game being less than $20.

    Personally I'm STILL waiting for Cooking Mama for Wii to crack the $19.99 price point new or used so I can pick it up ... but GameStop and Majesco are really holding tight on that ones (way too high IMO) MSRP of $30. I mean, christ, it's been out for almost a year.

    I can see the desire to cut back on bargain threads. But to get rid of all of them? That's a bit preposterous. Why not just have one (like this one, for instance) and possibly keep it stickied (like the 'finds' threads)?

    Why not add a subforum to the marketplace header or expand the what's it worth subforum to include these types of threads? At least that way the threads should more in line with the purpose of the subforum.

    I vote subforum in marketplace if something's going to be done-I do enjoy 'deals' threads as much as the next guy, but there's just been a huge influx of them lately.

    Putting it all in one thread makes for a read that's too long and easy to pass over stuff.

    There's no reason not to have a thread like this. If you frequent CAG, you're invited not to click on deal threads here.

    No one is suggesting people should stop posting these "deal" threads. They should just be in their own forum section at DP...not in Modern Gaming.

    We are in the midst of discussing where these kinds of threads are going to go and how they will be handled. Give us a few days to come to a consensus and we'll make the announcement once thats happened.
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    this is THE_BEST solution. honestly.

    i dont care if we mimic and copy/paste ALL of cheapassgamer.... just not in Modern Gaming (funny thing is, a lot of these games can almost be considered classic at this point, but thats besides the point)
