Sorry for forgetting about the Weekly Haul last week. The Weekly Haul is your chance to boast about what games you scored during the week, how much you paid and where you got them from. With another of Dick Smith's crazy sales this week I'm expecting to see some good hauls. So what did you get?

I simply got Splinter Cell Double Agent on Xbox 360 for $10. Was at DSE of course. Also been playing Legions: Fallen Empire which is currently a free beta. Check it out at www.instantaction.com.

Well I plan to get 3 $5 DS games from Dick Smith and trade them in at EB to get Pokemon Mystery dingeon explorers of darkness for $15.

Otherwise I'll be printing the pages of the Dick Smith website and hopefully getting a price match at EB, and then doing the trade.

I know it's not really a weekly haul, but it will be in a couple of days.

Just note if your trying to price match+trade in at EB - the workers wont let you do it in the same transaction. Either go into a different EB or come back the next day to trade in for the game you really want.

Also since you are going DSE hunting, if you come across Phoenix Wright Justice For All I will give you $10 plus postage for it (the game should only cost you $5 so you make some profit)

I know they won't let me do it in the same transaction. I probably wouldn't even have to wait a hole day.

I wonder what the receipt would look like if did do them both in the same transaction.

Just giving you notice since the EB I went to said come back in 7 days to trade in your purchases (in my case it was for Crisis Core) but lucky for me, the Melbourne CBD has 2 EB stores within 10 minutes walk of eachother.

I got Top Spin 3 on Xbox 360 for just $60, using DSE trade bait at GAME and also got Bioshock for $40 from Big W sale.

Thats it for awhile, next game I want is Infinite Undiscovery in September, but I may pick up a copy of Doom 3 soon.

I got bad news for you Moogle. Justice For All went up to its regular price just before disappearing off the website completely.

Ya I just saw the comment off the main article, looks like this moogle is heartbroken for the rest of the night :(

this week i picked up...
Godzilla Unleashed (Wii) $12.50 (DSE Powerhouse) (One day i'll trade this in at jb hifi)
Pokemon Sapphire (GBA) $5 (DSE Powerhouse) (Collectors item, i already have a copy)
Trauma Center: Under The Knife (NDS) $5 (DSE Powerhouse)

So pissed i couldn't find a copy of Dragon Quest on PS2 at DSE :(

I picked up X-Men Legends II: Rise Of Apocalypse from DSE in Belmont (WA) for $2.50 - originally $5 on clearance but it looks like it was marked down by 50% too!

I got DOA:X2 for $10 to trade in, but its now on the exclusion list  :'(
So can i still trade it in for store credit or something?

Also got some bomberman game for the 360 for $17.50 at harvey norman bargain bin.

$10 Dead rising (DSE) .. didn't come with a cover though.   Kicking myself I didn't buy conan at $25 .. now the game has gone upto $70

You can still trade games in for credit, but those really good 'trade 3 for free' deals are excluded. You will be lucky to get back what you spent on it.

I got some $10 XBOX 360 games from DSE.  Some of them went up in price the day after I bought them and most weren't on the shelves or were marked with a higher price.

Superman Returns
Lord of the Rings: Battle of for Middle Earth II
Test Drive Unlimited

hah me too :/

i got Burnout revenge and LOTR battle for middle earth 2 for $10 each to trade in but i like them so im keeping! also fifa 07 for 10$, pretty good considering its back up to 40 now. Also got THP8 and Prey for $10

the local shops had quake and bionic heroes (5$) but they couldnt find the dvds they were so old hah :(

Where/how'd you get that?
I mean, I'd like to buy that game, if for no reason apart from the lulz.

Argh, no! I got it for the lulz for $30 at GAME many months back (August I think). I still have the store credit from when I returned it. In fact I plan on using it up soon when I get Soul Calibur 4 unless I can score 3 cheap 360 games the day it comes out.

Its an AWEFUL game. The achievments arent even easy to get.

The price went up to $20 now at DSE, but yeh maybe you should listen to Anthony...
