Video game - What deals have you had over the years?

[Luseth 1,994]

I know there aren't many of us that do it but I do like collecting my physical games and yesterday in game the missus agreed to buy me a game I found in the clearance section.

 

So said game was Zelda tears of the kingdom and it had been placed in this area as it was the collector's edition and the box was a little damaged. Bizarrely we bought it for only £41, the price for this second hand in cex is still £40 so straight away we are fine, but then I am getting a few collector's items too ironically enough I think I could take this to cex now and sell it to them for more than we bought it for.

 

So yeah, a game I wanted anyway but had held off and knowing what happens with Nintendo games and how their prices depreciate it's likely that it will never be worth as little as we paid for it.

 

So yeah just seeing what gaming bargains people here have had in the past?

I’ve been fully digital since around 2019, so haven’t had a physical bargain in a while and can’t recall any major ones off the top of my head! 
 

The odd bargain from the PS store sales but not worth writing about!

This sounds like you went vegetarian for a moment! 🤣 And I am crap with vegetables just as I am with digital sales! 😅

Hard to say really what deals I've had. I'm sure many people that bought a ton of games when they were younger like me to play from Gamestation, alot were anywhere between £1 and £5 so loads have gone up in value. Luckily for me I bought them to play so haven't looked much into what has jumped up the most as I can't remember all the prices!

 

I'd probably say the best deal I did was buy the Neo Geo CD about 16 years ago. I bought one, with most of the original box and 10 games for around £140 on eBay. The whole collection has gone across the board and are some of my most expensive games I own. I actually love the console. The controllers are fantastically made, like SNES but better. Super Sidekicks 2 is awesome and I've loved playing through it to win the World Cup. Lots of fighting games I have. I'll set it up next time people visit mine.
