Wal-Mart does 2 for $25 deal

by David Hinkle { Jul 22nd 2008 at 1:15PM }

The last time the retail giant did one of these deals, there wasn't much in the way of worthwhile titles in order to get some of you off the fence and spending. Perhaps the same can be said of the stock participating in this most recent deal, but we'd beg to differ. If you still haven't picked up Sonic Rush, then we suggest you nab that and one of these other included titles:

Bubble Bobble: Double Shot
Barnyard Blast (it may not be that good, but it's a piece of DS Fanboy history)
Spanish For Everyone (because it's hilarious)
Picross DS

There are other games, such as some board game compilations, so we suggest you head over and check out the sale for yourself.

[Thanks, Feba!]

Costco offers savings on DS games

by Candace Savino { Jun 10th 2008 at 8:00PM }

Today's cheap deals post is brought to you buy the letter "o," and, uh, the word "costc." Get it? Costco?

Now that we've sufficiently subjected you to the horrors of our evening humor (or lack thereof), those of you who are Costco shoppers might be interested in some of the games the retailer is offering for $10.99 thru 6/22:

Puzzle Quest
Sonic Rush
Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime
The New York Times Crosswords
Disney Meteos
Namco Museum DS
Cooking Mama

This sale is somewhat "your mileage may vary," since the listed games are not necessarily going to be in stock at your local Costco. These are just some games that we've decided to highlight, though. Check after the break for the full list, as compiled by CAGgers.

Sunday deals at Circuit City

by Candace Savino { May 25th 2008 at 6:00PM }

Last week there were a bunch of Wii deals in the Sunday ads. This week, though, there are a handful of DS games with slashed prices instead, all from Circuit City:

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for $17.50 (Sunday and Monday only)
Cooking Mama for $9.99
Sonic Rush for $9.99
Namco Museum for $9.99
Pokemon Emerald (GBA) for $9.99
Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis (GBA) for $9.99

With the exception of Phantom Hourglass, you have the whole week to mull over these sales, which are available both online and in stores. Anyone plan on picking up one of these games?

by Eric Caoili { Dec 24th 2007 at 12:00PM }

Video game rental service GameFly has a pretty big year-end sale going on through January 4th for over 30 of its used DS games. Though the carts are all pre-played, each one will come with a new manual and case, so you need not worry about receiving an incomplete set.

As usual, we've picked the notable titles out of the bunch and listed them for you, except this time, we've done it in Christmas carol form!

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
DS Fanboy sent to me:

Twelve Diddy Kong racers Racing ($17.99),
Eleven Spectrobes for collecting ($15.99),
Ten Hoshigamis a-SRPG-ing ($14.99),

Circuit City glitch leads to low, low prices

by Eric Caoili { Dec 21st 2007 at 11:15AM }

Electronics retailer Circuit City has an ongoing deal in which you can get any two games priced at $19.99 for only $30, but, because of a recently discovered glitch during the ordering process, customers have reportedly received a $10 discount for each $19.99 game they've thrown into their shopping carts, bringing their total even further down to $20 for two items.

Though many of the online shop's $19.99 titles are currently out of stock, we've put together a short list of the DS titles available that you might want to pick up with this buggy bargain. We can't guarantee that your order will stick once Circuit City's management catches wind of this bug, nor can we say whether or not exploiting this slip-up makes you a horrible person, but here you go:

While there are also a few GBA (as well as PS2 and PSP) titles eligible for this "deal," keep in mind that this glitch works best with two games from the same console.
