I don't know if anyone has made a thread yet but they have all PS2 games for 75% off
Got this haul for $25

Got this haul for $25
They might technically be 75% off but that happened a long time ago. I would be surprised if any stores still had stock.Damn, I really can't remember if my Gamestop still has PS2 games or not...I think I'll go check once I get my car back from the shop. Did someone also say GBA games are 75% off?
Found document of metal gear solid 2 perfect in box with manual why on earth was it there I have no ideaVirtually nothing even in the drawer I got to look at I couldn't do without. Skipped Marvel Ultimate Alliance, some Sly games, etc.
Just one amazing grab. Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence with box/manual.
Yeah why are the megami games so cheap on amazon? Heavy production run?Yeah, P4 didn't really seem worth it to me. If they had a complete copy I probably would have taken it for ~$7 but just the disc when it's $15-$20 brand new was eh.
Nocturne and the Digital Devil games were reprinted (along with Devil Summoner, actually). I'm not sure if P4 was reprinted or just had a gigantic print run to begin with.Yeah why are the megami games so cheap on amazon? Heavy production run?
Very NicePicked you 2 games today. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga & Tales of Legendia Pefect condition![]()
I assume you picked those up at the Noland road store in Independence, MO? I cleaned out a bunch of their stuff and left those there because I wasn't interested in them.Picked you 2 games today. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga & Tales of Legendia Pefect condition![]()
Dont tell me your a resellerI assume you picked those up at the Noland road store in Independence, MO? I cleaned out a bunch of their stuff and left those there because I wasn't interested in them.
If he was, wouldn't he have picked these up?Dont tell me your a reseller
No I'm not actually. I will flip games here and there but I don't have time or interest in reselling games. Just not into JRPGs too much. By cleaning out I meant adding to my collection. I just recall the other poster has mentioned stores in my area before and I recall that Gamestop having those games specifically. Also it's the only store in the area that carries ps2 games.Dont tell me your a reseller
I enjoy this post on the sheer mention of Game Crazy. I worked at one for 5 years and loved it. I also got Haunting Ground dirt cheap only because I was into anything remotely like a survival horror game. It's rare now? Makes me wish I bought Rule of Rose back in the day too but I never ended up getting it. Damn I miss that place. We didn't jack up prices of games just because ebay sales were higher on it and used games NEVER were priced higher than new games like Gamestop did with Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade Chronicles. Granted they lowered them now but not by much. I am glad I got those when they both launched and don't have to go nuts looking for them. But yea I wish I got Rule of Rose just cuz....I had no idea Haunting Ground was rare. I picked it up years ago for maybe 10 bucks from GameCrazy. I would love to find a Rule of Rose hanging around though, and a Subsistence limited edition.
It can't be impossible, my local store just sold a brand new FFXI with the HDD and everything a few months ago.
I wish I had shopped at Game Crazy since everyone says it was awsome. On a side note, I own Rule Of Rose (CIB) already so If I find one on my gamestop searches I'll sell it to a fellow CAG for a reasonable price.I enjoy this post on the sheer mention of Game Crazy.

I worked at GameCrazy too back in 2007-2008. It was sorta on its way out then, the writing was on the wall. It seemed like I got hired into a good thing just as it turned sour. I've always heard it was amazing to work there before then and I would imagine so as I worked for EB Games in like 2006 just as GameStop took over and it wasn't nearly as bad on pushing EDGE cards and pre-orders.I enjoy this post on the sheer mention of Game Crazy.

That was 4-5 years ago. They just clear out games by generation, whenever they are two generations old. GBA > DS > 3DS, PS2 > PS3 > PS4, etc.Damn, I really can't remember if my Gamestop still has PS2 games or not...I think I'll go check once I get my car back from the shop. Did someone also say GBA games are 75% off?
Wasn't GBA like 2 years ago? 4-5 seems more like GB/GBC.That was 4-5 years ago. They just clear out games by generation, whenever they are two generations old. GBA > DS > 3DS, PS2 > PS3 > PS4, etc.
Yup. GB/GBC was back in 2008 or 2009. I still remember the old NES clearances that FINALLY took place in the late 90's, and the SNES/Genesis clearance, N64, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS1 clearances. Xbox (original), GBA, and Gamecube were the most recent.Wasn't GBA like 2 years ago? 4-5 seems more like GB/GBC.
I have been looking for one if you don't mind. My store used to have a bunch and then they shipped them off to who knows where since they weren't at the other stores that still had PS2 stuff.Did anyone still need the playstation 2 network adapter for the fat ps2? My store had 3 of them and I found the disk to install it in an old box of mine.
Yea man I worked at mine from December of 2004 up until my locations closing in May 2010 due to company wide bankruptcy. You started working there after the first bankruptcy. Yes they had 2 different types. The first one closed lots of store, the second one ended it all. My game crazy side actually closed first but I stayed on and worked on the Hollywood Video side for 2 more months during the liquidation phase.I worked at GameCrazy too back in 2007-2008.

GameCrazy got pretty bad, at least management around 2008 with pushing stuff. But overall it was a very fun place to work. I ended up working with two good friends at my store and I even managed my store for two months during March-May 08, doing events for Smash Bros, GTA IV and Mario Kart Wii which were a blast.
I also love hearing old GameCrazy stories. Seems like it was a great place to be before it tried to become GameStop and before Hollywood Video bought Movie Gallery which I think is what lead to their demise. I think MG had like $100 million in debt that HV never took care of. Personally I wish HV had survived
I'm the same way usually but most of the games were <$1 so it was hard to pass them up if they were decent.I am going to check my store again (the ones i got the DDR games at. I was pressed for time and Just wanted those cuz I knew they had them and soon im gonnna have the room for my DDR mats again to go nuts like I used to ages ago). But they had put out disc only games too.
Now I am a perfectionist and HATE disc only ANYTHING (odddly enough i dont mind cartridge games having no box. go figure). But I officially own exactly 300 PS2 games and every single one of them has a booklet and box too (sadly SOME are greatest hits... a plague on game collecting). So I am anxious to see. Another one I goto had some last time I went, but this sales been going for weeks now so I bet there's slim pickins.
I can deal with disc only if theres some rarer titles.
Side note: any way to know which games are $0.00? Any list anywhere? I can guarantee the game Technic Beat, is $0.00

How can someone have so much stuff lolYea man I worked at mine from December of 2004 up until my locations closing in May 2010 due to company wide bankruptcy. You started working there after the first bankruptcy. Yes they had 2 different types. The first one closed lots of store, the second one ended it all. My game crazy side actually closed first but I stayed on and worked on the Hollywood Video side for 2 more months during the liquidation phase.
But yea around the time you said management got on us for pushing memberships, preorders, and warranties. They just didnt know how to run a video game company. You cant run it the same as a normal business. gaming is different than retail clothing stores or fast food chains.
But the job was great at first cuz we had old school stuff. I attribute most of my video game collection (2700+ games and counting) to working there. When we stopped taking in classic games and only sold from the PS2/Cube/Xbox generation and forward, it got the BEST and i'll tell you why. Right before it, old games got DIRT cheap. we started having like 5 for $10 sales so I was getting popular old school titles for dirt cheap. But when the games were gone and we officially couldnt take them anymore, people would still bring them in to trade cuz they had no idea where to go with them since Gamestop stopped long before us. So we were given the green light to buy them off people for ourselves, at least at my store.
I'd get BAGS of N64 games for $1-2 a piece. I am talking Mario 64, mario kart 64, mario party 1 and 2, stuff that, at the time anyway, was going for $20-30 on ebay. Keep in mind, I told EVERY customer honestly that they could sell them for more online and many I told actual prices to cuz I flipped duplicates I got here and there and kept the good ones. But most people couldnt be bothered to sell online so they hooked me up. I felt bad taking games from people without letting them know. I would talk about my game collection and people would sometimes GIVE me bags of classic games for FREE because they saw how passionate for gaming I was and wanted to contribute. Plus, they would spend the money I gave them in the store anyway so I still helped Game Crazy get money. lol
When we were in liquidation, we could hold as much stuff as we wanted behind the counter in hollywood video (we transferred the remaining game crazy games there to sell from one spot) as long as we promised to buy them by the end. I got 60+ games for $0.80 EACH, new, used, it didnt matter. It was also lots of good stuff too. I got over 80 strategy guides for FREE ( i held about 60 for myself but the remaining ones i took and sold some duplicates online cuz the guy who comes in and buys everything on last day to resell online couldnt take the books). I also got about 40+ DVDs also for $0.80 each. It was my best gaming/movie haul to date. I also got our spinner magazine rack from game crazy in my living room with a good chunk of my guides on it (i own too many to fit them all).
Best part... I have the 3ft tall Master Chief replica statue we had when the store opened. It was a promo piece for Halo 2. The arm broke off around 2009 (some idiot child hung onto it with all his weight and it snapped) but we glued it back on so it looks just fine. haha My coworkers let me have it because i was there from the 4th day that my store was open and stayed until its final day. Best job I ever had and even though my current job pays twice what I got there, it's nowhere near as fun and Gamestop is a joke and I know 3-4 people who worked there and hated every second saying it paled in comparison to Game Crazy. Good god I miss it so bad
