Talk to you all later,

Glen

 

[Peter D]

Thanks Glen - just a heads-up, Burnout & Nighfire for the Xbox are no longer $9.99 at EB.

 

[Bob East]

Great deal until 08/03 at EB-Buy Eternal Darkness and receive a $20 gift voucher in the mail. I bought the game yesterday getting them to match the $14.99 price at Gamestop. Now I await my $20 gift voucher. There are other gift voucher deals to be had on other games as well but this one seems to be the best.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

Have to pick up Mario Golf soon or rent it. When is the GBA verison coming out, as I might rent it now and play it and then buy both of them together later on.

 

[Lance R]

Mario Golf at Target also has an exclusive course (Target Bullseye Tour Tournament.

 

[Ike]

Best Buy has Half Life for the PS2 for $10.

I think that's a good chunk of it...

 

[Aaron H]

Start Kit for Xbox: $29.99

Does this mean the XBox Live Starter Kit? I've bebn waiting this, but was waiting for it to come down a little before buying.

Aaron

 

[Peter D]

Nope, it's one of those accessory starter kits. I don't think you'll ever see the XBL starter kit drop in price (in fact I think it's going to rise in the fall).

 

[Joel Hurley]

Thanx peter!

 

[GlenHaag]

Thanks a ton for the assist Peter. I'll throw your data into the Wrapup.

Glad to be back!

Glen

 

[GlenHaag]

Ok. I finally took on the task of streamlining the price drops. I removed quite a few old entries, so things should be accurate as of... well... Noon on the 30th.

Glen

 

[Troy*H]

just picked up gunvalkyrie(xbox) for $3.75. Someone else posted that they picked up soccer slam(xbox) for $3.30.

Go pick both of these up if you can find them!!!

 

[Larry Fletcher]

Troy, where did you get Gunvalkry for $3.75?

 

[Troy*H]

oh dah!!! sorry, both are at Target. I haven't seen soccer slam there but there is another post on the board about it. Hope this helps! It is a good game. Worth the 3.75!

Troy

 

[JamesH]

Target is great for the ridiculous clearance prices. Since they often hire lazy employees, games usually get discounted in the computer several times before someone actually marks the price.

I remember back during the period when Time Crisis 2 was out of print and tough to find, I got 2 gun/game sets at target for $14 each.......and sold them on ebay for around $100 each.

 

[GlenHaag]

Soul Reaver 2 has dropped to $15 at EB. I'm still kicking myself for not having picked that up at $9.99 at Amazon. Oh, well.
