Ace Golf (Gamecube) £4.99 new

And one or two lines of comments if you like.

Nothing over £14.99 counts as a bargain, 'kay? (Unless it comes with hardware or something, eg Donkey Konga with bongos.)

Fireblade (Gamecube) £3.99 new

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101207076854826

Extreme G III (PS2) £0.99 used, £1.99 new

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101189556618652

Flawed, but fun, and well worth 99p just for the sound-barrier effect.

Metal Slug X (PS1) £2.99 used

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101207214051704

Much better both as an original game and in terms of extra non-arcade content than the PS2 or Xbox releases of MS3.

Pong (PS1) £2.99 used

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=10116328401810

As mentioned in the other thread, one of the best PS1 games of all time. Seriously.

Tempest X3 (PS1) £2.99 used

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=10101513401535

One of the best games on any format of all time.

Shox (PS2) £5.99 used

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101212046652766

The true successor to Sega Rally.

Virtua Cop Elite Edition (PS2) £1.99 used, £2.99 new

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101209946652291

Arcade-perfect Virtua Cop 1 and 2 for two quid can't be a bad deal.

Headhunter Redemption (PS2) £2.98 new

http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10248&mid=321235

Not going to make any top ten lists but worth three quid? I'd say so.

Outrun 2 (Xbox) £8.96 new

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...9233610-7750050

A state-of-the-art arcade racer in your home for under a tenner.

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 (Xbox) £3.96 new

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...9233610-7750050

Or, if you prefer, several not-so-state-of-the-art arcade games for under a fiver.

Hmm. An Bargain games? An idea whose time has come. View one of my K!K!G distractions along similar lines

Games Barg!
(Featuring Full Spectrum Warrior for £3, Tron for £4, and a multitude of £10 ish bargains)

Doesn't include Midway Arcade Treasures 2, because its crap whatever the price.

And again, please excuse website shoddiness. Its still a prototype.

Super Monkey Ball (GC) £7.99 new

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=hp&page...GC&title=101958

Metroid Prime 2 (GameCube) £10.96 new

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...5683960-4510056

I've no idea what it's like, but it's got to be worth a punt for just over a tenner.

Viewtiful Joe (PS2) £4.98 new

'Special guest star exclusive to the PlayStation 2! Devil May Cry's legendary demon slayer Dante.'

Man! These are some serious-assed bargains, dudes!

(A word. - Ed)

Er, yes. But seriously - ever paid full price for a game on release day? You moron!

The last time I did that was for Mission Elevator on the C64. Needless to say, I didn't make the same mistake again.

You can buy a game on release day and still not pay full price.

Personally, I've never paid more than £25 for a game and don't intend to start any time soon.

Psi Ops (PS2) £9.99 New

http://play.com/play247.asp?pa=spromo&page...S2&title=169962

Fun third person shooter with psychic powers - throw things at people or throw people at walls. Includes exploding heads. Released alongside Second Sight and considered the better game.

R-Type Final PS2 £5.99 New(?)

Second Sight (Xbox) £4.46 new

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...9233610-7750050

Y'know, for a balanced perspective, here IS Second Sight.

Sega Superstars (PS2) £2.96 new

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...9233610-7750050

Amazon.co.uk: The Online Bargain Basement Of Champions. Eyetoy NOT included.

I'll stop now.

Browsing eBay...

Worms Pinball (PS1) £2.75 used £3.45 new

Free P&P, excellently.

Good morning, bargain fans. Just found some really cheap games over at www.gameloaded.co.uk. It's mostly really old PS2 games but there are a few decent gems in there. You can avoid the £2 first class delivery option forced upon you at checkout by switching to 'standard,' thus saving you a quid.

The cherry picks:

Virtua Striker 3 V2002 (Gamecube) £2.59 new

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_Virtua_Striker_3_1513.htm

I've spent more money than this playing the arcade versions.



Extermination (PS2) £2.49 new

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_Extermination_5967.htm

This is a very early PS2 game, a cross between Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. Worth a punt at budget price.



Gunbird: Special Edition (PS2) £3.49 new

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_Gunbird_Special_5641.htm

Vertical shmup action.



Aqua Aqua: Wetrix 2 (PS2) £1.49 new

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_Aqua_Aqua_Wetrix_4186.htm

Okay, this one may be a gamble, but a game has to be really shit for you not to get a least £1.49 worth of entertainment out of it.



5 PC Games - Serious Sam: The First Encounter, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, Strategic Command, Apache Havoc (CD only) & Star Trek Elite Force (CD only) (PC) £2.80 new?

http://gameloaded.co.uk/UK_5_PC_Games_Only_5_2336.htm

That's 56p a game, people.

The Comic Strip Presents... 9 DVD Box Set, £14.99 at MusicZone - (Until they realise that it's scanning as something else - but I got mine today at that price, as it was on the shelf at that price.)

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/TruH...eBundles/778486

A Gamecube console, with Donkey Konga, Bongos, and Harry Potter: £49.99

Given that Donkey Konga is going for £29.99 on its own on Amazon, that seems pretty cheap to me.

If anyone fancies a trip to Redditch in the West Midlands, home of needles, fishing hooks and Kevin Turvey, there's a games shop in its death-throes offering 40% off everything in stock, and they don't appear to have up-priced anything to account for this. Barg-ho! (if I wasn't down to my last few notes this month, that is)

Animal Crossing with 4MB Memory Card (Gamecube) £17.99 New

http://play.com/play247.asp?pa=srmr&page=t...GC&title=182733

(Apologies that it's over fifteen quid, but since it's sold with hardware it should count, see Rev's original post). Never played it, never seen it this cheap new, supposed to be great.

Anyone know if these games would work on a PS2 in New Zealand? Being PAL and all i'm assuming they will.

Euro games in NZ- I doubt it, purely out of Sony's hateful spite, rather than any problems with TV standards.

Here's something that looks tasty, and just scrapes in at £14.99 - not out yet, mind...

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=sr&page...15790&P36=QTDP2

Australasian Gamecube games work on UK machines, so PS2s might be OK the other way around.

Not particularly helpful that, was it?

Hang on, isn't it legal to chip a PS2 in New Zealand? In which case you could play whichever version you wanted.

The link is for the game at £24.99, not £17.99. Has it been priced up since?

Sold out now. I bought it at £17.99 so it was at that price. Sorry you missed out (sad face).

Ultimate Pro Pinball (PS2) £8.99 new

Looks like a bit of a snip, the RRP is £20.

EDIT: Mysteriously, the RRP on the Xbox version is £20, the PS2 version £10.

EDIT THE SECOND: Actually, it's a bit shit (on Xbox, at least). There's a gap of about half a second between pressing the button and the flipper actually flipping.

Civ3 (PC) £4.99 new

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=spromo&...PC&title=186553

Civilization 3: Deluxe Edition £9.99 new

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=spromo&...PC&title=184463

An ad in the paper today claims that Dixons are having a sale with games 'From 47p'.

However, given that it's Dixons the selection is probably shit.

Battlestar Galactica First Season Boxset 17.99 inc p&p

http://www.dvd.co.uk/product.asp?id=8233450

Have I mentioned before that this is the best thing on TV?

Good one, new BSG is excellent (series 2 available now on a bittorrent tracker near you!) pity it doesn't include the miniseries as well.

While that price is rather splendid, there's a region 1 box set coming out in the autumn that's got the entire first season including the mini-series, plus commentaries and deleted scenes.
