Damn I hope. I have a GameStop near me that has shin megami tensei 3, Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 for $30 each, and they have digital devil saga 2 for $20. I'd cry if I could get these for $20 or less.

But you will at Amazon.

Time to sell those PS2 games that still holds value.

I just saw that sign when I was making a payment for my Tales of Xilia pre-order... Maybe I'll have to dig out one of my old PS2's and games for the extra $5 or so they'll give me....

There's one more game I'm kind of interested in. Shadow Hearts Covenant.
Maybe I should let it go?

Umm...no. Definitely play it.
Some of the stores in Toronto are monstrous. Like 10 copies of the same title lined up on the shelves, just to try to fill all the wall space. But yeah, some are really quite tiny. A few of the smaller ones in the city still have Super NES / Genesis / GBA games in a small case.
PS2 is 13 years old this month. N64 is, what, 17 years old? PS2 is older now than the SNES was back when PS2 first launched.
SH:C is one of the best JRPGs ever. Go play it.
Great, now I'll never find a copy of .hack//Quarantine!
Say what you will about buying used games from Gamestop, but through careful use of B2G1 sales, I accumulated a huge PS2 library far below the going rate for most of the stuff a couple of years ago. I guess those days are over!
even if one never did show up within 100 miles on the store tracker

I keep telling myself "I'm done with PS2!" but this game has been burning in the back of my mind for years now. I almost picked it up once, but Mr. "finish your backlog and be done with PS2!" kept me from getting it.
I think I'll take your advice. This may be my last chance before Ebay.
More like hold onto em.
Amazon it. If its in good condition you'll get so much more than a GS trade.
Or just hold onto it since most system sells/trades end up with people seeking those systems years later.

I think they stopped carrying GameCube, or at least ceased trade-ins on it a couple years ago. Even though it came out 13 months after PS2. DS will be there for a while longer, it's only been eight years, and it has the largest install base ever for a game system. Also the games and systems are tiny so it takes up less space than consoles.

Need to go there and troll with some unopened FF789/tactics and Vagrant Story games.
So how much can I get for these?
lol thats actually how I got my current dreamcast. Some guy was getting ready to throw it away after he found we didnt take them in...Bought it from him for a pizza.
If someone came in with those, i'd dash to the atm so fast... I have seen someone bring by FFVII and Legend of the Dragoon, but both were beat up as hell.
I'll give you one whole dollar for it.
In that case, they have tons of sports games for you to choose from!
GS has been barren for PS2 stuff besides shovelware for a long time anyway.
Take a sealed Suikoden 2 and try to trade it towards a Madden preorder.

They sell what they can and then order stores to throw things in the dumpster, like their pile of plastic guitars.

Can't believe the PS2 lasted as long as this generation of consoles.
They've had that for a while. Got the ports of Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex from that. It's sporadic though.

What? I could swear I have been in a GameStop and heard an employee tell someone they don't take ps2 games recently.
