Help Robin Shop for Used Games!

[RobinStarwing]

Okay, so I was able to nail Pokemon Black 2 as an early B-day present and still got twelve dollars left to use up. I'm kind of looking for a Used PS2 or Nintendo DS (I have a DS-lite) game to buy with it and kind of looking for recommendations.

I have a couple thoughts but the major want is to get my hands on Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier but that is on the north side of the Twin Cities so not worth the gas and wear and tear on my car. X-X

So anyways, here we go. Just to help you decide what to put down, I will list what I got already.

Nintendo DS
Pokemon D/P/PT/HG/B/B2

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass

Chrono Trigger DS

Final Fantasy IV DS

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

-----

Playstation II

Xenosaga Episodes 1-3

Radiata Stories

Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII

Star Ocean: Till The End of Time

Rogue Galaxy

Ace Combat 4, 5, Zero

Devil May Cry 1-3

Bully



I might be forgetting some of my PS2 games but that is a good list of what I remember. So anyways, suggest away NPF! Remember, I got twelve bucks left so under $10 would be ideal. Sales Tax in Minnesota is 6.875%.

For those PS2 games, at least on ebay, you can only get Xenosaga 1, FF12 and Ace Combat for under 10 bucks (ace combat is super cheap though). All others are on the $15 price range.

As long as you have 10 bucks to spare, why not use it to try new games you would never have purchased before? Try to get more bang for your buck...

Actually, the PS2 list are ones I have.

Also, wanting to hit Gamestop for them as I am like super loyal to them.

OH! i understood it was the list you had put together of stuff you wanted! Now i get it...

On gamestop's website... on that price range you want, you have these good options:

THE KING OF FIGHTERS Collection: The Orochi Saga

Suikoden 3 and Suikoden IV

Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm and Atelier Iris 2: Azoth of Destiny

Odin Sphere

Grandia 2

Growlanser: Heritage of War

Wild Arms 4

Shining Force Neo

Phantom Brave

La Pucelle: Tactics

Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity

Dokapon Kingdom

all these are well worth their asking price of used

[mauve]

PS2:
Beyond Good and Evil
Shadow of the Colossus
Psychonauts
Dragon Quest 8 (It will kick your ass, but you'll keep playing anyway.)
Okami

Dang... I have a huge PS2 library at home and I'm totally drawing a blank as to my other favorite games from that era... Aside from FF12 and the DMC series, which pretty much ate up most of my teenage years but you already own.


DS
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
OkamiDen (It's fun, but I never finished it because I got stuck with my least favorite companion in a super annoying temple.)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney and Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations.

[Seil]

I'll go with Demon Stone, if you can find it. It was pretty good, from what I recall. Patrick Stewart was in it.

Failing that, Simpsons Hit And Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8pfzKGSrak) is gold, Amplitude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUYye1d04sc) was the best music game ever, XIII (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqc3t5mj1YE) has David Duchovny and is based off of a Danish comic book, and Gun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDKa59mLgLM) is good old western fun.

Ahem...

Short Answer: Shop around.

Long Answer:

Assuming you don't want to fiddle with bidding on Ebay, you should do the following.

1. Check Amazon. Write down the best prices for what you want, put everything you want into a cart.

2. Now go to Half.com and check the prices again. Put what is cheaper into your cart and purchase it.

3. Whatever is left over go back to Amazon and buy.

I would stay away from Gamestop, unless you have a gift card or a coupon or there is some massive sale or something. You tend to get better deals and goods in better condition on other parts of the internet.

Pretty much just shop around in several places, I recently got a in perfect condition copy of Tron Bonne for the PS1 for 70 bucks. (That is a good price.) I also bought a brand new still in the plastic copy of Lunar 2 for 35 and a fairly good condition Lunar SSSC with all the extras (CLOTH MAPS ARE BOSS) still included for 30.

EDIT: I will add more later. THERE ARE GAMES THAT MUST BE SHARED.

For the DS, I'd suggest Nostalgia. It has airships and high adventure. The plot is pretty cool and it has some interesting Steampunk themes.

I got mine used at Game stop for like $10.00.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

DS:
Castlevania Dawn of Sarrow
Lunar Knights
Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
Megaman ZX Advent (and ZX)
Megaman Zero Collection (pretty decent series)

PS2: (some of these might be damn near impossible to find cheap, but I assure you they are pretty good titles)
Disgaea 1
Disgaea 2
Tales of Abyss
Dot Hack G.U Vol1, Vol2, and Vol3
Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis
Atelier Iris 3

So far, checked out a few of the suggestions but they are all too fucking far away. :| Would like to stay in the southwest part of the cities near my work.

Also, the reason I go with Gamestop is the fact I've been shopping at them since they were Funcoland and never had a bad experience at one. I also seem to get good quality merchandise as well whenever I get in there too.

EDIT: Also, opinion of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin anyone?
