Board 8 > Alright, Punny's ending results for the Buy 2 Get 2 free used PS2 gamestop sale

(+) Yeah! (+)

SMT: Nocturne
Dirge of Cerberus
Kingdom Hearts CoM
Rogue Galaxy
Okami
Bully
Contra: Shattered Soldier
The Warriors
Tekken 4

Tales of the Abyss
Dot Hack Rebirth
Dot Hack Reinisce

Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Persona 3

about 160 bucks

Now the list in italics, I plan on reselling

on ebay they go for :

TotA 20-30

Rebirth 25-30

Reminisce 25-30

Redemption 30-40

Ultimate Ninja 20

MvC 2 40-50

and Persona 20


I should at least be getting my money back. If all goes well I will actually be making a bit of profit!

so yea, hurray

I know people have told me to stay away from Rogue Galaxy and Dirge of Cerberus but we seriously had nothing else

All of these games came with the case, coverart, manual and the discs in GREAT shape. Hell, the dot hack ones look like they're brand new

I already own TotA, Persona 3, and MvC2. I plan on playing through the Dot Hack series before selling them.

Tekken 4 I used to own but it got lost, so I'm just getting it again for collection purposes

Black Turtle still didn't MAJORA'S MASK

I'm assuming some of those didn't have cases, that's a huge part of the trouble I kept running into.

ironic because my city is apparently the 5th most liveable in the world according to The Economist but all the gamestops are balls

Bully, The Warriors, and Rogue Galaxy are fantastic games

I've heard good things about Bully

same for Warriors, but the Warriors I actually settled on

I wanted Def Jam Fight for New York but the disc we had was in HORRENDOUS shape. I was pissed off one of us slipped and accepted the game like that

but like I said I recall hearing good things about Warriors so I took a chance.

only good things about Bully and The Warriors? You should be hearing phenomenal and borderline fantastic things about each respectively

Shattered Soldier yessssssssssss

One of my top 5 PS2 games.

There was a signature here. It's gone now.
Your face is bees.

I need to stop watching reality TV.

First thing that popped in my head after reading the original post was "hey, it's like Storage Wars, buy junk and sell for profit"

Also, stopped by a Gamestop and walked out with
GTA:SA
Okami
Baldur's Gate (Dark Alliance I believe)
Sonic Unleashed

The gamestop didn't really have much else. I'd say about 1/4 of the games left were sports games, and lord knows I need Madden 06-10

well we usually don't find out until a week before

also Xbox games have been cleared out from Gamestop

we were told to just straight up throw them away

no shipping them to other stores

no sending them to corporate

nothing

But... why? I hate how companies don't at least let employees take stuff they're throwing away. Anyway, I noticed a few places still have GC around here, so I'm kind of hopeful on that since everything still worth buying is highly overpriced (Mario Party 4 wasn't worth $30 on launch damnit)

and I dunno, we just can't

they let me take home strategy guides, but they simply CAN'T let us take accessories and games we're told to throw out

but as far as xbox goes, there was nothing notable

nothing but sports and DDR games.

The first DDR on Xbox is pretty good, but without a dance pad that's pretty moot anyway.

More like American Pickers. Don't the Storage Wars people just bid on storage lockers and only look through the contents afterwards? Pun knew what he was buying.

And if the idea of "American Pickers with video games" intrigues you, you need to check out The Game Chasers on YouTube.

Black Turtle spilled my diet soda!

Fair warning about Nocturne: a small number of the reprints don't work correctly.

You'll know it's a reprint if the pages in the manual are in grayscale instead of full color and if it didn't come with a soundtrack. It's almost definitely a reprint since I've never found an original copy for sale.

And you'll know it's a problem disc if it lags a lot, or if the screen shakes, or if the music cuts at weird points, or basically anything that doesn't look right.

Otherwise, great pickup.

it's pretty fun, probably more so than spider-man 2 because the fighting is a lot more exciting, and the city seems less empty

I watched the first ep of Game Chasers

theres alot of filler, getting to know the guys, but they knew Final Fight 3 was valuable so they're legit

also, I live in Texas as well so its encouraging seeing this stuff happen within reach

I for one really enjoyed Rogue Galaxy. Game itself was pretty good, story kinda meh, but overall good. Also liked the two mini games. Granted there are better games out there, just never understood why people hated it so, I liked it.
