    I was just wondering, what are some great deals you found for a game or a system? It can be for any game, any console. One time I found The Sims: Complete Collection for only 5 dollars and a GBA SP for 5 dollars.

    500 bucks for a Playstation 2?

    My best finds that I can think of. I got a Sega Nomad for $5.00 in a yard sale sold it to a gameshop and got 80.00 out of it., Bought a complete sega master system with orginal box,paperwork contollers , light gun and 5 complete games for $3.00 in a yardsale sold it on ebay for 50.00. Bought a Turbo Graphx 16 with 10 games for 10.00 from some kid a friend of mine knew sold it on ebay for 90.00. I guess my coolest one I can remember was a Neo Geo AES system with Samurai Shodown II and NAM1975 complete for 20.00 bought if off a friend who got it in a local auction with a bunch of other electronics didn't have a clue what it was and asked if I wanted it, of course I said yes, sold it about a month or two later for 200.00 to an online collector that was the amount offered to me so I took it. Now do keep in mind all this happened about 5-6 years ago.

    My latest find just this month was a Gameboy Color for $2.00,Gameboy Advance for $3.00 and a DSlite for $20.00 all 3 in different yard sales

    Backwards compatibility. I hear the newer ones can't do it.

    They can't unfortunately. =/

    Probably the only reason I'm gonna try and get a 60GB at some point instead of a newer one.

    I think we strayed off-topic too much. :(

    And now you know why they're almost half-price, with 20 GB more. You have the ability to put in ANY size HDD as long as it is the same speed, and it doesn't void your warranty, so the 20 GB extra is a ripoff.

    If a mod/hack comes out anytime soon (with the ability to rip PS2, and PS3 games) then I'll be getting a much bigger HDD.
    If I acquire any PSPs, I'll keep one, hack the rest, and sell them.

    My best deal is probably my Sega Dreamcast with 2 controllers, and a memory card for $50 USD. And they're wondering why I never bought any games with it...

    No one can beat my deal.

    I was given a PSP 2000 with a CFW for free. The guy who even gave it to me got it for free.
