Blockbuster to clear out it’s Xbox & GameCube product at $1.99 soon


bbguy1.jpg

Just a  heads up for our faithful gamers out there.  Blockbuster will be moving all of it’s rental Xbox and GameCube product to “previously played” merchandise, and all new and used XB & GC games will be going on clearance for $1.99.

It was supposed to happen this week, but it’s been delayed to an unknown date.  Still — considering the way these things usually go I’m sure it will be sometime in the next month.  We’ll keep you posted as we find out more.

UPDATE: It’s been more than a month and the $1.99 that was delayed is still on hold indefinitely.  That being said, all used Xbox and GameCube games have dropped to match the $4.99 price that the new product had dropped to a few months earlier.  The vast majority of used PS2 games have dropped to this price point as well, with only a select few in the $9.99 – $29.99 range.  Chances are we may not see this deal happen for a while, as the $4.99 product appears to be moving fairly well.  Sorry to get everybody’s hopes up!

    Jello, you can play GC games on your Wii,

    It will be worth pickinga few up: Mario Party 6 & 7 are really fun. Luigis Mansion is also kinda fun.

    I’ll be heading down to grab a few!

    @JeLLo: The Wii will play GameCube games.

  5. Last time there was a Blockbuster games thing like this on SC, all 9 of my local Blockbusters had no idea what this was about. Nor did they have any GameCube games! Is this for your area only, or is it supposed to be at all Blockbusters Canadawide?

    Sounds nice … shipping to germany would be nice 😉
    At that Dollar Euro exchange-rates this should be cheap.
