Priceless Yoshi....

Yup as this post title implies... YOSHI'S PRICELESS. LITERALLY. Everybody in my video game jock circle knows I've been reeling to get my hands on a Yoshi's Island video game since my old DS and now I'll be playing it on my Nintendo DS Lite! But of course, as I have said, it's priceless for $29.00 considering it's a used game with no original case and instruction manual just the cartridge. To top it off, Dad got me a membership to Gamestop's discount program. Thanks Dad! But looking at the receipt of our purchase, I think my visits to Gamestop will be limited from now on. So here's the REAL DEAL....

With my used Yoshi Island DS cartridge, which was $29.00 I also grabbed a used copy of Kingdom Hearts 2 for my PS2 and it's more or less $18.00. I know for a fact (I did some reasearch on the prices.) that Yoshi's Island DS is expensive in the sense that it's been released November 2006, technically an old game but still its popular. Now 2010, copies of this game, new or used would be considerably scarce by now since Nintendo didn't seem to have reproduced more copies of this game in the last 2 years or so. So the high price is UNDERSTANDABLE...

Aren't the babies and Yoshis' so cute? I loved this game on SNES way back...
I'm glad to have it back on my Nintendo DS!

As for the Kingdom Hearts 2 game, now that's what got me. $18.00 for a used game???? I checked Half.com after I got home and I saw the same title, USED, complete with everything for as low as $6.99!

From now on I'm mot going to Gamestop unless I'm trading old games and just getting another game of the same value! I SWEAR!

EVER!
