Hi. How are you? I am dandy. Let's talk.

This is TELL US DAMMIT. Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, reader person.

You probably know oodles about us - more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob - and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban ya. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion.

Question: What's the lowest price you've ever paid for a game? Free doesn't count!

£2.99 I think is the lowest I've ever spent on a game, that works out to be around $4.98. Don't remember what game it was though, that was some years back.

A box of games from someone moving house and clearing out old stuff for £25 with 12 Ps2 games, 7 Gba games and 16 Snes games... I know this is supposed to be cost for single game but it's still a hell of a bargain.

I am old enough to remember when most games cost £1.99 new from the shops.

I did buy loads of Dreamcast games for £1 each when the machine died and HMV were desparate to get rid of their stock. I never got around to playing many of them, including the Ferrari racing game.

The best places in the US for clearance games are at Target and Shopco. I get a lot of clearance PC games at Shopco for .99 cents and Target has a lot of NDS, PSP, and PC games at $2.50 and up, but most at the $2.50 level when they clearance them. I got a brand new Tony Hawks Motion (with the motion cart) at Target at the $2.50 level when even used ones here in Idaho were going for $24.99 and new ones for $34.99. I also got a bunch of older GBA games at Toy 'R Us 3 for $7 which is great except most were crap titles. When the Dreamcast went out and the Saturn before that I was getting great deals on their games all over town.

Hello:

The cheapest game I bought was Perfect Dark for N64. On the Web store I bought it (now unexistent) cost me 25 cents (or $0.25 for those who can not get it). Any cheaper games out there?

This summer I bought up various genesis, 32x, nes, snes, and a couple cd-i games for $.25-$.50. I'd go $.99 if I really wanted them! Gotta love the garage sales.
