It is there, in 'arcade history' since the very first start of Tekken 5 on your PS2

For your older tekkens arcade enjoyment, you can try this btw:
While at the Press Start screen for any of the Arcade History games, hold the select button and you will be given a list of dip switches. You can use these for such things as changing number of rounds or unlocking hidden characters, such as Baek in Tekken 2.

2)) For PS2 owners, you might wanna try this website if online purchase does not rebut you:

"Now even more consumers, as well as casual gamers, can experience what the PlayStation 2 platform has to offer at a new value price," said Kaz Hirai, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

I just bought an Xbox Live 12-Month Starter Kit for $17.48 at Target. I got Project Gotham Racing 2, Xbox Live Communicator Headset, and 12 month card. Its really worth buying if you have an Xbox or Xbox 360. I checked the box and it said Xbox 360 Compatible. And when i checked the box it said Subscription must be activated by 3/31/07 so buy this if you want an Xbox 360 later down the road or something.

Also at EB Games or Gamestop you can find N-Gage QD systems for like $20 or so. Also their games are like for $3.00 or so.

Just bought Battlefield 2 for my pc today for $20 @ Staples. Best price i found in ages for the game.

**refraction** · May 3rd, 2006

one for all Europeans, only 6 games and 2 software packages. but considering the game is free and you just pay for the postage, you cant complain

I just bought Jet Set Radio Future USED for the Xbox for .99 cents and after tax it came out to $1.08 at EB Games or GameStop.

Jet Set Radio Future- USED
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?...eid=0040451529

Make sure to print it out and when you go there show it to them. The orginal price used is 7.99 so you save a bit of money on this.

D.D. · May 8th, 2006

i just went back to staples for work today and found out theres a ton of xbox titles for sale. im not talking about garbage titles. DOAU, Oddworld Stranger, etc are all for 19.99 CAD.

you know your console is dying when your top titles show up at staples for 19.99

D.D. · June 2nd, 2006

GTA:SA on PS2 is now a Greatest Hits title. $29.99 at bestbuy.

Paratech · August 3rd, 2006

I was at the local Wal Mart today and a bunch of games were on sale for $9.99 each, I laid away Gun, Jak 3, and Sly 2, for $31.78 *after tax*... I picked up a few games off EBay so I'll pick these up later, but there were a bunch of $9.99 games...

BTW, at Electronics Boutique, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is $14.99 for the PC...

The_Z · August 3rd, 2006

Er a question - How much is SotC at the stores you go to? I went to Gamespot and it says $19.99, so I was wondering if stores actually had it at this price.

Paratech · August 3rd, 2006

SotC?

Metalmurphy · August 3rd, 2006

Shadow of the Colossus, and its selling for 59,99 Euros here

Paratech · August 9th, 2006

I think it's $19.99 in the US, was it for the Playstation 2???

I think it got update to greatest hits...

I could be wrong, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves is $19.99 (Greatest Hits)....

Now you know why I went NTSC.

Hell, you can get it cheaper in the UK (which is quite amazing seeing how we get ripped off 99% of the time.)

Paratech · August 9th, 2006

http://www.ebgames.com/search.asp?so...=9&find=Search

Yup, $19.99 new $17.99 used...

Metalmurphy · August 9th, 2006
