What are some of the best deals you found for a video game/system?

I was just wondering, what are some great deals you found for a game or a system? It can be for any game, any console. One time I found The Sims: Complete Collection for only 5 dollars and a GBA SP for 5 dollars.

For me...
- Shin Megami Tensei : P4 for 10 bucks
- Playstation 2 for 500 bucks

500 bucks for a Playstation 2?My best finds that I can think of. I got a Sega Nomad for $5.00 in a yard sale sold it to a gameshop and got 80.00 out of it., Bought a complete sega master system with orginal box,paperwork contollers , light gun and 5 complete games for $3.00 in a yardsale sold it on ebay for 50.00. Bought a Turbo Graphx 16 with 10 games for 10.00 from some kid a friend of mine knew sold it on ebay for 90.00. I guess my coolest one I can remember was a Neo Geo AES system with Samurai Shodown II and NAM1975 complete for 20.00 bought if off a friend who got it in a local auction with a bunch of other electronics didn't have a clue what it was and asked if I wanted it, of course I said yes, sold it about a month or two later for 200.00 to an online collector that was the amount offered to me so I took it. Now do keep in mind all this happened about 5-6 years ago.My latest find just this month was a Gameboy Color for $2.00,Gameboy Advance for $3.00 and a DSlite for $20.00 all 3 in different yard sales

A friend at my dad's work got a used Wii, Rock Band, 4 Wii remotes, a Nunchuk, A classic controller, and 6 games for ONLY 200 dollars. Damn... :(

Shit, maybe I should actually go around in my neighborhood yardsales. Damn dude.

Managed to snag 2 PS2 memory cards for $10 since someone at Wal-Mart fucked up on the price tags. =/

Speaking of memory cards! My friend snagged two black memory cards for the Gamecube because someone left the glass case open at Target. :D

How much is PS3 right now?

Replying to #8

I believe a 40 GB PS3 is $400 and a 80 GB is $600.

Damn,I should have wait for the price to be lowered...I bought it for 1000 bucks.....

An 80GB PS3 ranges from $349.99 to $399.99 right now actually.

If you'll pardon my french, what the hell were you thinking buying that at launch? :P

That console are too tempting to be bought at that time.

Backwards compatibility. I hear the newer ones can't do it.

They can't unfortunately. =/Probably the only reason I'm gonna try and get a 60GB at some point instead of a newer one.

I think we strayed off-topic too much. :(

And now you know why they're almost half-price, with 20 GB more. You have the ability to put in ANY size HDD as long as it is the same speed, and it doesn't void your warranty, so the 20 GB extra is a ripoff.If a mod/hack comes out anytime soon (with the ability to rip PS2, and PS3 games) then I'll be getting a much bigger HDD.
If I acquire any PSPs, I'll keep one, hack the rest, and sell them.My best deal is probably my Sega Dreamcast with 2 controllers, and a memory card for $50 USD. And they're wondering why I never bought any games with it...

No one can beat my deal.I was given a PSP 2000 with a CFW for free. The guy who even gave it to me got it for free.

i bought a Sega Dreamcast package for just 40bucks. Sweet deal if you ask me.

Is it the 60GB or 80GB thats backwards compatible or is it both?

the 60GB is, not sure about the 80GB
