What a deal I found today at EB...MGS2 Substance for only 20 bucks...couldn't pass up that deal...there were 3 copies there, i got one and my friend got another...still one left if anyone in NEPA wants it...


Just wondering...why so cheap? Perhaps some marketing scheme to try and sell more copies of MGS2 for the Xbox than the ps2...but who knows.

That sounds great, I am about to get it just to bad don't have any money right now, trading in another game for it. Also is that deal only there or do stores, like Walmart or Target sell it that cheap.

I don't go to EB like ever so if this is a stupid question sorry.

Could the Metal Gear Soild 2 Substance he got for 20 dollars been used which would explain the price. Just a thought.

Man, I guess I need to relocate, it's still $50.00 at my EB Games, and I have yet to find a used copy. I have owned MSG2 for the PS2, not Substance, it was ok, no Splinter Cell, but fun none the less, I wonder how much better the game looks on "The Box"

The Xbox version has 300 VR missions and snake has extra missions.

I'm calling my EB tomarrow because they already closed about that game. If it's that price, I'm going to have to hold off on buying Panzer Dragoon Orta and Crimson Sea.

Yeah, my friend got it even tho he has the ps2 version and has beat it several times, but he said its too good of a deal to pass up...but it worked out for me...I got a game that I wanted and the new Sepultura double live album, so im a happy camper.

And there is no such thing as a specific time it takes to complete a game, everyone works at different speeds. Some people rush thru games and then trade it in, and I think thats just dumb. Now I like to take my time, play around with some things, and just have fun...after all, that is the point of buying a video game in the first place.

and I heard they have Splinter Cell at Best Buy for 38 dollars, so I might go check that out. I wanted Mortal Kombat originally, but they didnt have any preowned copies, and I also want Unreal Championship, but im gonna wait until I get XBL cause I want to devote alot of my time to Ghost Recon for live...

Well I have ghost recon and I love it, and I know its oging ot be even better online with a bunch of people, but i'll check out unreal when I get live cause Im pretty good at it, but I prefer the strategic shooters over the fast paced fragfests...

Booo it should have stayed at $19.99 the thing is so badly put together slowdown, PS2 graphics and the DAMN cut scenes

The price has gone up to $25.98 I ordered it at 19 bones and 5 bucks for 2 day air. I wonder if the original $19.99 was a typo?

Oh, and it's not used, it's NEW ;)

Not a typo. Went to EB and they had a row of new MGS for $19.99.
