The scenario is all too familiar. A new hot game is announced, all the hype is brought to the highest level until you burn in anticipation, and then it finally gets released, tagged at a cost that your budget just can't afford. Unless you skip all your meals and save every penny you've got, that is.

Totally sucks, right?

Well, now you have that second chance! And starving doesn't even have to be an option. We recently posted in this website an article about Death Jr and how it only cost under $10! Yes, it is definitely for real! And who do we credit for this mecca of an opportunity? Why, the leader in retail stores, of course - Sears. From ps2">PS2 to PSP, Nintendo DS and Xbox, Sears is currently offering games at marked down prices. For as low as $9.97!

Unbelievable? Believe it. One Codeejonz (thanks for the heads up!) actually went to Sears to pick up his copy of Death Jr after reading that QJ article. Guess what he found out: Death Jr did retail for the reported price - and so did other titles like Virtua Tennis, Untold Legends, and The Hustle. SSX on Tour even sold for $6.97. Codeejonz did warn that most of the titles aren't marked, but just ask Sears to do a price check and you just might get the games for the marked down price.

Head to the nearest Sears outlet near you before you miss this chance again! You can also check out sears.com for a full listing of the items on sale.
