What's the best deal you've ever gotten for a video

I pirated the Witcher 3

As a povertyfag, I fucking love shopping at Dollar Tree.

Managed to get a copy of The Saboteur on PC for $5 from Best Buy
Got Serious Sam 3 from a previous summer sale for $3.40 thanks to some coupon for signing up for some shitty gaming social network
Found a working copy of Call of Duty 2 lying in a gutter
Went to a barcade about a month ago and someone left about 8 credits in the SF Rush 2049 machine

I got an original copy of Wasteland, still in the shrinkwrap and original packaging, for 5$. Mind you this was in the late-2000s

A five finger discount from a former friend's house.

Dead Space being in the $1 tier of a Humble bundle was pretty nice.
Dead Space 2 was in another $1 bundle.
Dead Space 3 was in the same bundle as the first game, but it requires Origin, so I never played it.

They also had the Alan Wake series as a pay-what-you-want game in one of the "weekly" bundles they used to do, so I basically got Alan Wake and American Nightmare for $0.01, which is pretty fucking rad. (However, I already owned it on Steam where I paid $10 for it, which was an okay deal at the time, but not amazing. I just wanted the Humble copy because it's DRM-free. So if Steam goes offline someday, at least I'll have that.)

They're pretty okay. I go there for candy, because the same shit is always more expensive at other stores, and those other stores are farther away. Unfortunately, my local Dollar Tree is pretty ghetto on the inside despite being in a nice area.

I found AC 4,5, and 0 at a second hand book store for about 15 dollars total.

>>381837917
Dollar Tree seems to normally attract a ghetto population, at least in my area. There is a new one built by my school and I like it because the aisles are wide with plenty of room.

My dad found a master system with like 20 games including most of the good ones in a dumpster and gave it to me.

The dude at Gamestop the other day gave me Dragon Age Origins on 360 for free. It was pretty nice of him.

FUCKING GAMESTOP

>>381837035
As a povertyfag, I bet you're also stupid. Unless it's literally things like toiletries or off-brand chips and soda, you're actually wasting money. Their products are way smaller in ounces to the point where you would be better off buying at a place like Winco. Their produce is shit, and quite frankly, a lot of the stuff they try to sell is very near expiration date.

Bought TWEWY at a swapmeet for $25 oneweek after its release

>>381838105

I've done that. When they offered me like 25 cents for terminator salvation I just gave it to a kid behind me

>>381838231
The employee gave it to me.

$3 for Madworld at Gamestop. Used, but with the original case and everything. Also, in that glorious time period around 2002 before collecting blew up, I got a bunch of NES games from a local Funcoland (nothing very rare, but also nothing was more than a few dollars at most) before it turned into a Gamestop, which is where I would later buy Metroid Prime on some holiday special for $5.

I check the ounces on the candy I buy there, so I know it's the same shit for more money in other stores.

Aside from that, I don't actually see most of Dollar Tree's goods in other stores at all. At my local one, at least, half the store is full of random cheap party favors and shit that you would only find in a dollar store (or in a Party City for at least five times as much money). Then there are toiletries, like you said, and there is some bullshit that probably isn't a good deal, like small containers of ice cream.

As for off-brand snacks: Last time I was there, I saw something identical to these. The box was approximately the normal size, too. I didn't buy them so I don't know if they were actually as good.

Oh yeah, same Gamestop as the one where the dude gave me DA:O for free: got a steelbook copy of Mafia 2 on 360 for $2.50 a couple weeks ago.

I know it's an old game but I've never owned a steelbook before and this one is in really good shape so I was pretty pleased about the find.

I know the exact Dollar Tree cookies you're talking about. They're just as good, but the chocolate seems unnaturally melty compared to the real deal- I don't know if that means the chocolate is worse or better desu.

>>381836358
I once thought I got a pack of Borderlands games free on xbone because of a pricing error, but I completely forgot about it and didn't bother to hook up my xbone. Apparently It got removed from my account since then, but this thread only just reminded me of that. As for actual deals, I got Rare Replay and some indie games for watching Microsofts E3 conference on their shitty streaming site.

>>381839071

Woops $20 I meant

>>381836358
Speaking of Dollar Tree, I got Civilization II there.
My best deal though was Earthbound for $2 at a thrift store, but I sold it.

I dont remember it exactly but 4 years ago i mentioned on /gsg/ that i dont have Crusader Kings 2 and a random anon bought it for me. Absolute mad man.

I was in EB Games a few years back and decided to look for Bayonetta, I started looking through the shelves and found nothing so figured I'd ask if they had it. The guy behind the counter said they did and he even came out and started helping me look for it.

In the end we couldn't find it at the front of the store so he went out the back and found it, was originally $15 but it didn't have the manual/case art or anything so he told me to wait a sec.

Turns out he went and asked the manager if it was alright to knock some off the price because of it and I ended up paying $5 for it.

I still haven't even finished it

K-mart had brutal legend and guitar hero world tour for like 5 dollars for 360 some years ago.

I've found my favorite PS2 game, Mark of Kri, online and at used stores for about 2.99. It's actually happened a couple times. Being as it's such a cool little game, it's worth way more than 3 dollarydoos

>>381839194
>>381839678
Vidya is literally the only industry where a corporation can mismark a product and then feel no obligation to actually honor that price. Even if it's the law that they do so in the state or country the transaction too place. Turbojewry in full effect.

Long ago when Kerbal space program was big here I made a shitty thread about my attempts to land the command module on top of the water tower and long story short an anon bought the full version for me when I succeeded

When I first got started with PC gaming, I found a boxed copy of BioShock for $5, and then a boxed copy of Assassin's Creed for $5 on a separate occasion. I thought it was fucking great... and I guess it was pretty good, at the time. (This was years ago.) But it seems kind of silly after having lived through the best Steam sales and Humble bundles.

I've gotten so many games for dirt cheap over the years that I'm not sure what the best deal was anymore. Humble bundles have had some legit good-ass games in the $1 tier, on rare occasions.

>>381839779
Similar boat over here
I got Dead Rising (Disk only) from gamestop i think 2 years ago for $5
Now I've gotten all achievements besides 7 Day, Saint, and transmissionary, I've easily put 300+hours into it

>visited a family member in texas
>younger cousin or something has an old SNES he doesn't play
>we play for a bit and he says I can keep it
>along with DK 2 and 3, SMRPG, Final Fantasy II, Starfox, LttP, F-Zero, Mario Kart, Castlevania IV, and more plus a gameshark
>even a Super Scope complete with game, and Mario Paint with accessories.
>all for absolutely free

I was so ready for that trip to end before he regretted it and asked for it back.

I bought a new sealed copy of re4 on gamecube for like 9 euro, it seems to have been a good purchase :)

Send and like 10 games for 15 bucks. Had MARIO rpg and MARIO cart. Mk too I think. It's only ones worth remembering but had some other solid games.

When fallout went free on a couple hours on Xbox I got it, they took it back but gave me $10 for the Microsoft store and got witcher for only 5 when it was on sale

>>381839920
Isn't that mainly because the company which owns/supplies the product (Sony/Microsoft etc.) Are the ones who set the price?

>>381840061
You're such a faggot. I would have at least given them a bit of money. Maybe even buy them a current gen game of their choice.

A lot. Early 2000s worked at a vidya game store before retro prices went full retard. Best deals would be Earthbound for $10, later found a box and guide for free and got Snatcher for $5 because my retarded boss priced every Sega game cheap.

>>381840223
Doesn't matter. In my state (and a lot of US states) it's the law that if you mismark a product you are legally required to sell that product to your customer at that price. M$, Sony, and Nintendo has never given a fuck about silly things like laws though

>>381840245
I was like 12 and didn't really understand just how sought-after some of the games were. I was more excited about getting the SNES itself.

>>381836358
I won InFAMOUS 2 from a Subway contest when it first came out. I was for sure going to buy it anyway, so I saved myself 60 bucks, it was pretty cool.

>>381836358
I got a bunch of Gamecube games at a garage sale before, in the box, for $10.

>>381840742

I won a PS4 before the official launch through Taco Bell.

Barely anything I want to play came out on it.

I found Starfox 64 3D at Sam's Club for $4 and change years ago. I bought all dozen or so copies and gave them to friends. Kept one for myself.

I bought L.A. Noire from Gamestop for around 4 bucks on a whim. Ended up enjoying it more than anything else I played that year.

Funny you say that because we 're in a retail apocalypse right now many retail companies are on the verge of bankruptcy such as Sears Kmart JCpenny and GAMESTOP

>>381844707
They stopped dealing DS & PS2 games.
Gamestop can burn in hell for all I care.

Bayonetta 1&2 for Wii U at Gamestop for $30 after she was announced for smash. It was used so I don't know if it was that good.

Are you upset that you can't get rent vhs tapes at your local video rental anymore? You can't expect a retail store to spend shelf space on obsolete shit that only a niche audience will buy.

I got Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 from a cereal box. I'm sure I got other games as well but I can't remember which ones.

15 bucks for megaman x3 mint condition at a used toy store a few years after release when it was impossible to find. 10 bucks.

$59.99 for BOTW because, just wow, it's more than a game; it's a onece-in-a-lifetime experience. For that, a mete $60 is a steal. I would have glady payed even $1,000 for this medium-defibing masterpiece. Might as well never play another game ever.

Bought Jazzpunk for 5.99

I've never actually laughed at a videogame before Jazzpunk. It's a simple, silly game filled with puns and subtle references. Where interaction with the environment is varied.

For example, in the starting area I found a door that when approached, my clenched fist came up. For shits and giggles I input the stereotyped knock of "Bap-ba-ba-bap-bap Dum-dum" And nothing happened. On returning to the game for a second time I found out that I missed the "Sidequest" in the game to smuggle a pigeon out of the level. After it was activated I was required to knock on the door with that specific knock, and found it great that I was correct in the beginning.

10/10 would recommend.

conkers bad fur day for 4$ from some kid
