So, I feel a bit like Mr. Monopoly when he gets a bank error in his favor. This was one hell of a haul that I just got at an H-E-B Plus supermarket here in Austin, just now:
For some reason these games were listed for 5 dollars a piece. I couldn't believe it. (There were a couple of 10 dollars in here, but the vast majority were 5.) On top of that, there was a 20 percent discount on all games, so really I got them for 4 bucks a piece. This is really an insanely good deal. I felt like I was robbing the store, to be honest.
So, what did I get?
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, with Amiibo Disk Thing - 10 bucks
Chibi Robo: Zip Lash - 5 bucks (two copies, one for a Christmas present)
Scribblenauts: DC Superheroes - 5 bucks
Spirit Camera: 5 bucks
Tetris: Axis: 5 bucks
Splinter Cell 3DS: 5 bucks (two copies, Santa strikes again)
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: 5 bucks
Farming Simulator 15: New Forms Edition: 5 bucks
Lego Hobbit: 5 bucks
Dragon Age: Inquisition: 5 bucks
Just Dance 2014: 5 bucks
Splinter Cell: Blacklist: 10 bucks
Assassins Creed III: 5 bucks
Space Marine: 5 bucks (Settle down, Shadowlink. It's a Christmas present.)
Adventure Time: Secret of Something or Other: 5 bucks
When I add it all up based on the sticker prices and subtract the 82 dollars it ended up costing me, I had savings of 654 dollars. GOOD LORD! This is officially the best video game haul I've ever had.
If any of you guys live in Texas, you might swing buy your local H-E-B and see if they have a similar deal. I bought these at the H-E-B Plus in Leander. I'm not sure if this is the result of a mistake or if they're doing some kind of barn sale or what, but if you live around one of these stores, it might be worth checking it out.
I was half tempted to clean them out and then walk right over to the GameStop next door and sell the games I didn't want back. But that would have made me no better than a scalper. I hope some poor, frazzled gamers pick up on this deal.
