PC and Videogame Wrapup for 9/7 to 9/13 (1 Viewer)

[GlenHaag]

Ok, now that I'm back in action. It's amazing how tough life can be without the internet.

GLEN'S HTF GAME OF THE WEEK


$34.99

I was a huge fan of the previous Final Fantasy Tactics game, so I'll definately be picking this one up.

Thanks for your patience all.

[Stephen L]

I want ESPN Hockey for Xbox but I'll wait for a deal.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

Getting Final Fantasy Tacatics soon, but not this week.

 

[Ryan FB]

FFT Advance for sure for me this week (I think from what I saw CC had the lowest price - ~$26), possibly some of the new PS2 GH titles. I haven't seen any reviews on the new Banjo-Kazooie game or P.N. 03 so I'll be passing for now.

 

[DonRoeber]

Final Fantasy Tactics for me. Going to cash in some of the best buy coupons that I've accumulated. Been looking forward to this for a LONG time. FFT is my favorite game ever.

 

[GlenHaag]

We had a hyper light ad week this week. Very small ads from Best Buy, Target, and CC.

CC had the best deal for FFTA at $26.99. I'll probably end up price matching that at Best Buy for the double reward zone points.

Thanks for the patience as I struggled to get the list up.

Oh, well. Better late than never.

Glen

 

[Allen_Appel]

Thanks for the patience as I struggled to get the list up.

No worries, Glen. We're all very grateful for the efforts. I just can't decide if you're really saving me money, with all the games I end up buying.

 

[PerryD]

Ikaruga for $20 at Bestbuy.com

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....oryId=cat02134

 

[GlenHaag]

No problem Adam.

Thanks Perry. I've added it to the list.

Glen

 

[GlenHaag]

There is a sale at KBtoys.com with quite a few GC, Xbox, PS2, and GBA games below $20 bucks.

Far too many to mention.

Genma Onimusha for $9.99 for the Xbox
Bloodwake for $9.99 for the Xbox

Ugh... too many others.

Glen

 

[Ryan FB]

I glanced over kbtoys.com here's some of the deals that stuck out to me:

I might pick up Super Ghouls & Ghosts (GBA). Enclave (XBOX) and Herdy Gerdy (PS2) seem like good deals too.
Ikaruga for $20 on the GC from BB is a steal.

I think I'm turning into even more of a GBA addict than I was before

 

[DonRoeber]

WalMart has Final Fantasy Tactics for $29.94. I couldn't wait to get to Circuit City tomomrrow

 

[PerryD]

Nintendo announces new Player's Choice titles for 9/25:
Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime and Super Mario Sunshine reduced to $30 each
Star Fox Adventures, Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion are reduced to $20 each.

http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/str...s_6074802.html

 

[GlenHaag]

Ryan,

Thanks for the help!

I'll be picking up Star Fox for $14.99 at Best Buy after a Gamer Gift Card. Quite the good deal there. I just couldn't pay $50 for that game.

Glen

 

[JamesH]

Everyone I've seen who's ordered Ikaruga from bestbuy has had it put on backorder. Your best bet on that one is to use the search function on their website to see if any stores near you have it.

In other news, I've seen rumors that everyone's favorite deal is coming up pretty soon, so keep that in mind. Not a ton of games I want that are out right now, but I'll definately be picking up quite a few and exchanging them when worthier games are released. I'm thinking 6 or 9 at $49.99, 3 at $39.99, and 3 at $29.99.

 

[Troy*H]

Just picked up Serious Sam for XBOX for 4.98 from Target!...thinking about picking up the other five copies
