Matt Young Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 According to Cheap Ass Gamer, where numerous GameCrazy employees post, all older used games, as in systems older than Xbox, PS2, gameCube, DS, and PSP, will be on sale, 3 for $15 in order to clear inventory. I'm pretty sure it's a nationwide deal. Scroby can likely confirm or deny, and I'm trying to get a hold of my friend Daniel from my local GC to ask him about it. Sadly, the only way it appears I will be able to cash in on this deal is to trade in games for credit, which I am very reluctant to do. I figured I'd give you guys a heads up though since I'm sure some of you will be able to make some good finds.
fazzle Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 damn. I wish I had a GameCrazy anywhere near me.
Jingus Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Do they have a website or list of store locations so I could find the one closest to me?
Guest OSIcon Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 There website is www.gamecrazy.com and there is a store locator there. Does this include GBA?
Matt Young Posted April 25, 2005 Author Report Posted April 25, 2005 I found out that GBA games are excluded, but I believe Game Boy and GB Color games are eligible.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 There website is www.gamecrazy.com and there is a store locator there. "Sorry, we were unable to find any locations in your area. Please check that you've entered a valid address or zip code."
Jericholic82 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 Sweet, I have a Gamecrazy about 10-15 mins from my home. I gotta get there this week!
Jingus Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 "Sorry, we were unable to find any locations in your area. Please check that you've entered a valid address or zip code." Ditto.
Matt Young Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Posted April 26, 2005 For the people who do have a GameCrazy in their area, I was informed that the sale will now start on Thursday rather than Friday. Unfortunately, I cannot edit the title of the thread to reflect that.
Black Lushus Posted April 26, 2005 Report Posted April 26, 2005 Dammit, this would have been the perfect time to flesh out my N64 collection...
Matt Young Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Posted April 26, 2005 I know how you feel. I haven't been to GC in a while, but they have a decent selection of older games, including NES and SNES. I really need to replace my SNES collection, which I sold off about 8 years ago to get a Nintendo 64, and I need to replace my 30 or so N64 games that my sister sold for drugs. I'm just hoping that since MoVal isn't a big city and I rarely ever see people checking out the old school games at our GC, there will be some good titles left when I get some cash. I can probably get my friend who works there to hold a couple, but that's it.
Scroby Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Alrighty, I'll let you guys in on it. Yeah were having a 3 for 15 bucks sale at the end of the month. This includes (if I remember right) Nintendo Super Nintendo N64 (thats a 50/50) Sony Playstation GB and GB color and Dreamcast. I don't think there is a price limit, I think its any 3 games for 15 bucks. So if you find like a 30 dollar game, you get it for 15 when you buy two other games. But don't quote me on that because they can change the rules before the actual sale takes place. But yeah, it happening so enjoy.

Unfortunately, I cannot edit the title of the thread to reflect that. There you go. I might check this out to see if there are any old PS1 games that are worth picking up.
Matt Young Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Posted April 27, 2005 Thanks PK. Just a heads up, if you don't find what you're looking for at GameCrazy, GameRush (which is to Blockbuster what GC is to Hollywood Video) has a deal where you can get any 5 PS1 games for $10 or 10 for $20, I believe. I'll have to check on the specifics.

Eclipse Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 NICE. There is a GameCrazy about 1 block away from where I live. I am SO THERE when this starts.
Ced Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 It's times like this that I'm glad I have connections within my local GC.
razazteca Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Too bad majority of the PS1 games for sale are old sports games like Madden 97-2001.
Scroby Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Too bad majority of the PS1 games for sale are old sports games like Madden 97-2001. Tha'd be because everyone traded those damn games in and damnit I wanna get rid of those so badly, you have no idea.

Jericholic82 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 Id like to get some more n64 games (I only have about 8, the last game I bought for it being WWF No Mercy back in 2000) and some of my old nes favs (my sister just got a old used NES so we can play these old games again) i guess I can get some ps1 games but I only have a ps2 and have heard bad thigns about playing the old games on it.
Scroby Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 Apprently there's more to the deal than I first believed. Apprently if you want, you can do 6 games for 30 and 9 for 45....go and enjoy your buyings kiddies.
Matt Young Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Posted April 28, 2005 I was pretty sure that was the case. My GameCrazy has a damn good selection of NES, SNES, and N64 games, but I only have about $1.25 to my name. I have a $50 Wal-Mart gift card, but that doesn't do me any good. :-\ It's doubtful, but I hope there are still some decent games available when I get some more cash. I need to replace my N64 collection and expand my NES and SNES libraries. To anyone who takes advanatge of the sale, please post your finds. If you find some rare-ish RPGs that the employees haven't already scooped up, you could save a ton of money off the price you'd normally pay on eBay.
Jericholic82 Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 I wonder if they have Maniac Mansion? that game ruled the earth!!! as weel as mike tysons punch out...,
Scroby Posted April 28, 2005 Report Posted April 28, 2005 I wonder if they have Maniac Mansion? that game ruled the earth!!! as weel as mike tysons punch out..., My store has Maniac Mansion but it doesn't have Mike Tyson's punch out.
razazteca Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 To anyone who takes advanatge of the sale, please post your finds Dreamcast Sonic Adventure 2 Soldier of Fortune PS1 Gekido
Matt Young Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 Do those even cost $5 a piece normally?
razazteca Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 No, the normal prices were: $24 for Sonic Adventures 2 $13 for Soldier of Fortune $15 for Gekido
Matt Young Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Posted April 29, 2005 Crazy... I figured those were cheap normally. The Sonic game is only $15 for the GameCube version.
AndrewTS Posted April 29, 2005 Report Posted April 29, 2005 I was pretty sure that was the case.
