So I went to the big lots up the street because apparantly we needed a 60 gallon drum of play-doh and a new mouse pad? I don't know if I'm just lucky or what, but I found a copy of psychonauts, PC just now for 6 bucks. That's SIX dollars US. Win? Oh, also, Thief 2. Any of ya'll find any great games for little or no money in places you wouldn't expect?
Oh, on a similar note, back in like...'92 I found Crystalis for the NES at Eckerd (think CVS, but old and southern and busted) for 15 dollars.

Also, I can't really remember any good deals i got in stores, but I did get Age of Empires I & II from Amazon for $10.
On that note, sometimes it's sad to find awesome games on their rack. When you go to their game section, you'll immediately see why most of it is there. There are unbelievably shitty games on those shelves, as well as the games that got hit by the Starforce boycott (Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, etc). But when you see a gem like Psychonauts or Darwinia in there with the garbage, it can be kind of sad.
Not that that stopped me from buying both of those games, of course. A good deal is a good deal, and Darwinia for $4 (with the keychain and poster bonus crap, no less!) is a hell of a deal.
First of all its "Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt"
and comon how can you hate the can
<<supersaiyanedit: Asian Experience? Sounds like porn to me!>>
Blast Corps for the 64 for 5$? I'll take it!
Blast Corps was awesome right?
Now why is it that I did not buy any of these.
Sin Episodes? Yeah, I got that for $6 from BigLots, even though I knew there would never be an episode after Episode 1. It came with the old SiN game, which was worth the price alone.
GameStop's closer; I can get it there.
OMG I thought he was just kidding... :shock:
Anyway, I go into BigLots any time I pass one by and have gotten plenty of games there. I think last time I went I picked up Serious Sam 2, Metal Gear Solid 2 SE for PC, and HL1 Platinum Pack (I'm going to give this as a gift to the next person I find that hasn't played it) all under 10 bucks.
My best find was not Target surplus (it was opened) was Guitar Hero III, with the wireless controller, for the X360, for forty dollars. Finding that prompted me to buy a 360. I took it as a sign.
Even better, my last visit yielded a pair of 250MB Zip disks, still in the plastic wrap. A dollar each.
I think I also got another copy (I think I've purchased about 4 or 5 copies throughout my life) of fallout 2 at BL as well.

Those RAP SNACKS are so popular, I imagine if we had a Big Lots in the area it would be filled with Lays.
In the area I grew up in, there's also a store called Ollie's. I remember grabbing a sidewinder gamepad for $5 bucks there.
These places are also a great place to score a cheap area rug or window blinds.
Psychonauts is free until the end of the year I believe. I just downloaded it last night. Along with a Thief game.
Ah. I shall proceed to slap my friends for not grabbing it when they had the chance, then.
EDIT: After reading the next page, slapping will no longer occur.

I considered buying it on a total whim, but decided not to.
I also found some really high-quality superglue that apparently didn't sell well in its original store because the package was marked "Cyanoacrylites" instead of "Awesome motherfucking glue".

...Where? Big Lots doesn't carry used stuff...
I chugged on of those on a 5$ bet once outside a Wal-mart.
I felt like vomiting. It tastes like Seven Seagal's chilled urine.
Half-Price Books.
The local Big Lots closed a couple years ago.

You can't just go spilling trade secrets like that on the internet, you'll drive the man out of business.
So that's what the "Asian Experience" is. Piss play.
This is just a tribute.
I see this game every time I walk into a Menard's
I spend an age contemplating its purchase and just end up walking away
But speaking of Menard's, that was the prime place to look for software back around 1999-2000. It seemed that back then they had a much more interesting selection, rather than the haphazard slew of little kids' titles that rot on their shelves today. There was a pair of absolutely fantastic games, titled Elroy Goes Bugzerk and Elroy Hits the Pavement, that I acquired sometime before 1999 and enjoyed so immensely that the discs remain on my shelf to this day. In fact, the local video store lets you use their disc repair machine for a couple of bucks, and I'll be removing the scratches from these babies the first chance I get.
Really? You mean just recently?
A Dreamcast, with two controllers (Non-third party!), a VMU, Sonic Adventure and Powerstone. They also had Chu Chu Rocket, but I only had $20 bucks on me, and when I went back it was gone.
I really need to buy some games for that damn thing.
