Great thread. Too bad Zack & Wii costs 50 Euro here...

Also, I noticed a few mistakes: You said The Godfather is an XBOX port. WRONG, its a PS2 port. Also you said Raving Rabbids is a platformer. You forgot to put 'NOT' in the middle.

check amazon.co.uk and see if the euro to pound favours you or not!

You can get Zack for the likes of 35 euro plus delivery rates / taxes update.

Just say NO to your local gamestore and embrace the world of e-commerce ;) - at least that's what I did!

...And it's predecessor is only 20. Let's see: Bomberman Land is 30 bucks. Actually that's the only game I can think of. May I recommend Blockbuster (the store) for some good deals on games though.

I request a sticky on this thread. It was very well done. And I did see Rayman Raving Rabbids at Wal Mart yesterday for $20. I'm actually thinking of buying it.

K-mart has clearance on many games, here are the important ones.

$10 each-Excite Truck; Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC)

$20 each-Nights 2, Godfather, Geometry Wars: Galaxies

I'm sure there are more deals around, but the shelves were packed with white boxes and I was happy at my new Excite Truck for a Jackson.

if anybody finds Excite Truck at a price like that, they really owe it to themselves to pick it up. it's one of my favorites, and it's getting harder to find. plus, it sells for 29.99 USD used at gamestop. oh and thankfully, this thread has reminded me to pick up Okami. i really do need to get that soon...

Another Excite Truck lover, eh? It's really an awesome launch title! Hopefully we get a sequel.

If you haven't played the orginal Metroid Prime for the Gamecube, you are missing out on one of the best games ever created. If you can find one in good shape, get it used $6.99 at gamestop. Quite a bargain if ya ask me!

I played the first Metroid Prime when a friend borrowed me his gamecube. Didn't like it too much. Controls were hard and I hated scanning everything.:(

Oh, I see. Glad I didn't go to the store to check. I wonder if they'll honor all the $9.99 orders. Reminds of the time when Walmart.com accidentally listed Brawl for $20.

This is a little late but Toys R Us have Zack and Wiki for $9.98. When I bought it, it was clearanced with 20% off so it was only $8 something with tax. Also they have Geometry Wars: Galaxies for $19.99.

Some people on IGN said they bought Blast Works in store for $10 so I figured I'd give it a try.

The game was $20 at my particular store. But on my way out I noticed they had a clearance rack of games that were 50% off. I immediately spotted Geometry Wars with a price tag of $20, meaning I could buy it for $10. I decided to pick this one up since I'd never get it so cheap again. They also had Battalion Wars for $25 with the 50% off.

But now that I think about, they were having a sale where anything with a blue sticker on it was 50% off. So Blast Works may have had that sticker and I may have overlooked it. Oh well. If I'm in the area again I'll take a look.

I can't guarantee you'll find this at your local store, but I thought I'd share my story.

You should have reserved another post. Or you could forget about this thread and start a new one.

Or even better: ask Phantom5800 if he can edit his post to be Part 2.

I recommend anyone who is recently getting a Wii to CHECK EBAY! I just bought a Wii 3 weeks ago or so and have found many decent games like Trauma Center and Red Steel, for sub 20 dollars, sometimes closer to 10 dollars. There are VERY good deals on eBay you just have to check around.
