Game Purchases Thread

Neat, I'm totally gonna get all 3 sealed then It's only a touch more expensive to grab them now (in Canada ).

[Gypsy]

You should probably order some from videogamesplus and ask questions later then.

Neat, VGP has stopped hammering all Canadian customers with HST. Maybe they moved their warehouse out of Ontario, my order cost 7% less than I expected. I basically stopped buying from them before because paying their provincial sales tax was bullshit

Now to wait and see if my 4 copies will all have the same disc variant

Edit: Price breakdown
Preorder:
USD $49.99 + $9s/h + unknown taxes (probably zero (maybe as high as $15 though))
VGP:
CAD $59.99 + $3.33s/h (I ordered other stuff to spread the cost) + $2.99GST = $66.31 (that's $57.53USD with the current exchange rate)

[Gypsy]

Well it's definitely possible. Some people on other boards have mentioned they got the same variant.

Also fwiw the vgp copies will be very high number wise.

Panic Restaurant CIB

oh god stop spending money

That said, I got this one for $490, which is about $100-$150 less than FMV. So I'm happy with that. Most CIB copies seem to sell in the high-$500s to mid-$600s.

Very nice. Ebay?

Oh and Xillia 2 is on sale, only $19.99 new on Amazon. Figured it won't go much below that, at least not new.

[Drageuth]

Yeah, Ebay. Haven't had much luck on forums lately. Always get there too late.

Yeah I know how that goes. Not too long ago I was about an hour late on a nice CIB Albert Odyssey for about 55% of the ebay price.

a nice CIB Albert Odyssey for about 55% of the ebay price.

Holy hell, when did this price happen? I was still planing to collect the common disc variant to finish it's collection, but I guess I've forgotten about the game for the last 10 years

[Gypsy]

It wasn't on ebay obviously. I troll around various forums with sales sections. Got some pretty sick deals that way (enough to where it's really quite hard to pick out the best).

If you mean when did Albert Odyssey get so ridiculous on ebay well this hobby kind of sucks now. Someone actually just paid $160 for it (it's not really worth that, but obviously it was to the buyer...): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Albert-Odyss...item27f22be88e

[Ragnar]

Yeah I just meant the eBay prices. Albert Odyssey isn't a good game, I really only bought it cause EB marked it down. I think I paid $20 for a new/EB gutted copy, and was kinda annoyed at the time cause I wanted a pre-owned copy for $15. But they only had one pre-owned copy and the disc was cracking

[Gypsy]

Lol yes much like Vay it's actually a pretty bad game. I can only imagine how it would be w/o the WD added charm and funnies. I cheated to get through it.
