    Went to that 50% off sale SNES and NES games at EB.

    Final Fight
    Super Smash TV
    The Lion King
    Sim City
    Adventure Island 2 GB.

    All this was only 17.95. But when he initially entered the items he said my total was 39 something. I said to him "umm..what about that 50% off bub?" and he aplogized.

    How can they totally forget to take 50% off of certain games without saying anything? How many people there bought games for the whole price?


    Also, some sad news is that ebgames is no longer taking in nes, snes, genesis titles anykore and are liquidiating the curretn stock

    What the Manager of Eb told me was that they were going to still remain EB games, they aren;t going to turn into Gamestops.

    Also, my take on the liquidating is that they are getting ready for the new phase of XB360, PS3, and NR games and systems to be coming in.

    The same thing almost happened to me but then the 50% automatically cameup in the computer, resulting in the 50% off.

    Not super exciting but I got from a deal on different forum:

    Mario Golf Toadstool Tour (GCN) - been wanting to play this game for quite awhile
    Super Mario Bros. 3 (GBA)

    The SMB3 is cart only but I couldn't pass them both up for a total of $20/shipped.

    Got 3 copies Tony Hawk Underground 2 for Gamecube at Best Buy yesterday. Scared the crap out of the clerk when they rang up for $4.99.

    Traded one of those + a Call of Duty for PS2 + a Magic the Gathering for Xbox in to EB Games for a free copy of Gran Turismo 4 for PS2 (a $40 value for only $15 after the trade-in). Also got a complete copy of Ecco Jr. (GEN) for $2 at EB.

    Bought a PS1 screen at K-Mart for $13, too. Shocked the crap out of that clerk as well (they were priced at $78).

    I'm a hustler, homie, ask about me...
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Default Ebay score

    Man, I wish I had a camera.

    Just arrived today from auctions I buy-it-now'd:

    Sega Saturn, model 2, brand new in box (includes cd sampler, Nights Into Dreams and 1 controller, everything including the box mint)
    Black Fire (disc+manual only, mint)
    Virtua Racing (disc+manual only, mint)
    1 Sega Saturn 1st party contoller (the smaller, japanese style one; brand new in box)

    $75 shipped.

    And what's this second package? Oh hoho, something to enjoy my new Nights with?

    2 Sega Saturn 3D contol pads (pads are brand new, both boxes where beat up, but the pics showed that)

    $16.50 shipped.


    Ok, maybe not the super-duper uber deals like some of you guys find at yard sales and stuff, but I've had a grin about this big stuck on my face all afternoon.

    Scored a complete copy of Diablo for the PSX. Nothing overly special BUT......unbeknownst to the new clerk, there had been a LONG waiting list for a used copy to show. I walked in as it was being traded in and jumped on it before it hit the list. Good timing.
