The title says it all. Let everyone know when a game's price drops. Spongebob squarepants games dropping to $1 a dozen isn't news, btw.
Currently waiting for the following games to drop in price:
Devil May Cry 3
Shadow of the Colossus
Keep us informed!

Re: Price Drop News
Since some DMC3: Special Edition update is coming out, the game should drop in price around the same time it comes out.UnscathedFlyingObject wrote: Currently waiting for the following games to drop in price:

Mega Man Collection finally dropped down? About time.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 GBA is down to 29.90 at play-asia. I'm not sure how long the price will stay there. Mr. Driller Driller Drill Land GCN and Mr. Driller Ace GBA are also 29.99, though be aware that you won't be able to load games if you use Drill Land with Freeloader. Not tecnically price drops, but Kururin Paradise is still only 19.90 and Kururin Squash is still 29.90. There are also the Japanese re-releases of the GBA Castlevanias, the GBA Gradius, the first two Boktai games, and a couple other Konami GBA games for 28.90 at play-asia, as mentioned in another topic. A two pack of harmony of dissance and aria of sorrow is coming to US.
F-Zero Climax was 24.90 for a while at play-asia, but it's back at 48.90 now. Good thing I jumped on it while it was on sale. It's my favorite of the GBA F-Zeros. It corrects the difficulty and wierd bouncing problems of F-Zero GP Legend.

Why would Shadow of the Colossus's price have dropped?
It is a bit early to hoping for that, especially with the holidays coming up.
It won't drop in price until next year.

This summer, Paper Mario was 19.99 for a few weeks at ebgames. That's when I picked up my copy. I was surprised it shot up again.Jon wrote:I've been waiting for Metriod Prime 2 and Paper Mario to drop in price for what seems like eternity now.Also wouldn't mind checking out Psychonaughts and Oddworld: Stranger once they are a bit cheaper as well (Stranger is down to $30.00 new now.)
I got Psychonauts (ps2) for $25 new on ebay. The ps2 version of this game is really hard to find. It is probably better to play on an xbox if you have one. The ps2 version has some frame rate issues, but they are not distracting enough to ruin the game. It was quite fun and had some really creative level designs.
I got Metroid Prime 2 for about 20 dollars at a Wal-Mart. It was with a bunch of other games in the clearance bin. I was surprised at some of the other games in there too. Amazing how poor management can be helpful sometimes.Jon wrote:I've been waiting for Metriod Prime 2 and Paper Mario to drop in price for what seems like eternity now.Also wouldn't mind checking out Psychonaughts and Oddworld: Stranger once they are a bit cheaper as well (Stranger is down to $30.00 new now.)

Gamestop dropped the price of the excellent Farcry Instincts to $29.99, which is a steal for a game of its quality. Too bad they bumped it back up to $49.99 a week later. 
Also Jon your time has come, last week Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was dropped to $19.99 everywhere.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is a game to keep an eye out on, most stores won't be getting new copies shipped to them anymore. You need to grab that the MINUTE it goes down to $20 or you might never see it again.
Psychonauts is more common but I'd also argue that it's worth the $31.79.
