My fellow friends, I will remember this day, Dec 3rd, 2007 (Cube related)

MegaDrive20XX

Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
I was having a horrible day, I had a dental appointment, feeling grouchy, woke up at 747am. It was suppose to be my day off.

I decided to leave early, since I figured they would let me out early. I had to do some Christmas shopping for my parents and I remembered that I needed to find a wireless router to see how much they were, since I was discussing this with Strubes last night.

I passed by the bargain bin of games, stating "All titles $20.00 & Under".

Well low and behold, on top of this distorted pile of terrible Wii games like Avatar, Shrek the 3rd, Hanna Montana Goes to DooDoo Town and etc. etc...

There, by itself, lay a sadden, lonely GameCube game...that was a sealed copy of....

IKARUGA.jpg


Scary isn't it? The single most expensive US GameCube release, in a dumpy crummy Wal-Mart in the middle of Waco Texas.

It's price tag....$14.88....I know that, because I will keep this receipt and proudly show it to all fellow collectors.

It was like seeing the baby Jesus in the manger almost, same scenario, a poor little place in Bethelhem, yet a baby delivered unto the people, with a radiant light upon him. I almost cried, because it was too beautiful to believe that this could come into my grasp.

And it taught me much today, when everything seems to be at it's worse, when life has really kicked you down, just remember, when you're not looking, there's a spot of happiness waiting for you at the end of your dark tunnel.

It's the simple things in life that matter the most, no matter how meek they may seem, you should cherish it.
 
Wow, amazing. That's up there on GCN rarity, above Chibi-Robo and Zelda: Collector's and whatever else is rare on the GCN.
 
Sweet!

Not to steal your thunder, but I got Ikaruga for $5 from Wal-Mart. A few years back they had a dept manager who would clearance games once they were deleted so that she could clear up space in the game cases. I got a bunch of cool games for cheap that way.

No surprise there, but amazing how these games are left behind!
 
Sweet deal Mega. Makes me want to hit the Wally Worlds in Louisburg and Henderson (Dumpy ones in towns too small to support the new Super Walmarts).
 
this game never got to my country in fact is the first time i heard of it XD
 
dang man!! You know what is HILARIOUS about this?

a little over 1 year ago, Best Buy was selling a crap ton of these off at $19.99. I wish I got every copy they had :lol

This is seriously one good game... and you scored an awesome deal. There was only 1?

SOOOO... the question is... are you opening it or selling it? :lol

And... if I am correct, aren't there 2-3 other games that sell higher than that game?

†B†V† :hat
 
THOU HAST THE SECRET OF THE HIDDEN SMILEYS!!!

*jumps on frak*
 
True BV, there are a few more games selling higher. I think it's games like Zelda CE, but not too sure. NCAA Basketball 2K3 definitely too.

This game still fetches around $45

Ikaruga, I'm keeping it. I never got to play it until now.

Great find man, wow. Let us know how you like it once you start playing it.
 
be careful not to throw the controller at your tv, as i once almost did playing this game.

it also has excellent coop play, one the best coop gamecube games IMO

and yet, some kid gave it away for free to me!

Ikaruga rocks... doesn't it? :D I LOVE the game...

I have the NCAA BAsketball 2K3 as well. Those are HARD to find. When I get a new Gamecube case for it... it will look sparkly new. Retards at EB games stickered the crap out of the case.
BUT... I got lucky enough to find this game! Only 1 I've ever seen... and I just happened to be lucky enough to be in EB games a couple years back... and they had it for $20 :lol
