Long live the bargain bin

Just picked up Killzone from EB for $20.00 brand new. They had it in the bargain bin @ Zellers for $30.00 and I came close to buyin it, but something told me look around. Still havent played it yet coz my friend is too busy playing God Of War on MY ps2:\

Anyways I saw Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 layin around for relatively cheap too. Should I get them or is it best to play MGS1 first? Ya think the collectors pack will be cheaper than buyin them used/new from the store?
Also what about Time Splitters 2? Saw it for less then $10in amom n pops clothing store, used.Would playing the first one make it a better experience?

Also, What are some good deals you have gotten through the used games/bargain bin

You don't have to play MGS1 to enjoy the others, but it will clear up a lot of things, and MGS2 has a convoluted plot so you've been warned. I personally think MGS1 is the best though. Definetly buy MGS 3 if you can only get one out of the two.

I don't usually buy used games..

Don't buy used games!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

They're the best way to go, I mean for 10 bucks they're gonna have to be opened sometime right?

I got Panzer Dragoon Orta, Beyond Good and Evil, and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath for under $10, but my favorite deal was $3 for Jet Set Radio Future at Gamestop.

Definitely pick up MGS2 and 3 if you can. It'll be best if you play through the original MGS at some point, but you don't want to miss 2 or 3 either. TimeSplitters 2 is a fun shooter - especially with 3 other players and a ton of bots running around.

The best deals I've found are MGS2 for $6, Eternal Darkness for $8, Star Wars: KotoR for $10, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando for $10, and ZoE: The 2nd Runner (pretty hard to find now) for $18.

I know the bargain bins in the game stores is great! I just bought 8 games for about $30! Their all older games, but their all decent/good games. I got Madden 2003, ESPN NFL 2k5, Backyard Wrestling, Wild Arms 3, Red Faction, NFL 2k2, Max Payne and Max Payne 2! And last week I got abunch too. It's nice to have the newer games, but why spend 30-40 on a newer game, when you can get the older ones and more of them?RE3I1GN

that reminds me...i gotta keep an eye out for Red Faction.

Man Killzone is harder than I expected. I never played a FPS where you had to use cover and stuff. Im constantly gettin merked man :\ Turok and Perfect Dark n Goldeneye havent prepared me at all for this, lol. Its a welcome challenge tho

Suikoden Tactics is an entertaining game.

I just ordered Magna Carta online.

dont know about the games but i bought a couple of games from a bargain bin and they worked fine.

only had 1 game that didnt work but it was only the co-op that didnt just be particularly careful of the cheaper games ($10 and under)

I think when they have games like Madden and other old titles for $1 you can't pass that up. I mean Madden is a great franchise. It's not like some crappy undermade rushed game. I know their all pretty much the same game, but $1! You can't beat that! I think Max Payne 2 was only $1.50RE3I1GN

lol max payne only $1.50 probably a reson and its a pretty crappy game on ps2 there good on comp but not ps2 even at $1.50 id rather buy a packet of lollies

I'm all about the Bargain Bins 'cuz the next-gen consoles are worthless for the time being, and all of those games I wanted but wasn't going to shovel out $40-$50 for are now $15 or less... I'm cleaning up for my XB lately, paying $10 for "Riddick", $3.99 for "Deus Ex: Invisible Wars", $6 for "Unreal Championship II", $3.99 for "Crimson Skies"... PS2 I got "Hunters: Wayward" for $5, "Star Wars: Starfighter" for $3, "Bard's Tale" for $9.99, "Sub Rebellion" for $6, the list goes on and on... GC titles are a little harder to come by but I still pick up stuff like "Buffy: Chaos Bleeds" for $10, and copies of "Resident Evil 2", "RE3: Nemesis" for similar prices...

I'm NEVER gettin' a next-gen... :lol: Who needs 'em?
