GameStop’s Game Days sale begins, let’s see the bargains
It’s April 5, 2009, and that means that GameStop’s month long, Game Days ‘09 sale has begun. New games and accessories for all systems are discounted and ready to go home with you. As usual, the sale is going on both in-stores and online, so you should have no trouble finding your desired item.
Also, GameStop is still continuing to try and clear out the UMD movies and videos, and there’s a substantial selection of titles available for $4.99 and $9.99 - just like last year. Keep an eye open though, some are cheaper or more expensive than that.
If you’re looking for a quick list of everything available, here’s what to expect. For your convenience, everything has been organized in alphabetical order, and the UMDs have been sorted by price.

Personally, I was a tad disappointed with this year’s Game Days selection. Last year I ended up getting three or four good games, Odin Sphere among them. This year I walked out with one of those DS Lite duo game cases that had Link on the cover. Well, that and Mana Khemia (PS2), but that game wasn’t part of the sale. Funny thing, last year the Final Fantasy: Advent Children UMD was $4.99, and this year the sale price is $14.99.

Yeah, this year’s Gamedays sale isn’t too exciting for me either. Last year we got Brave Story, Dementium and Odin Sphere, but the only thing I really want from this year’s batch is the LEGO Star Wars tin just because the actual case is really cool looking. That and maybe a few of the $5 UMDs for a rainy day.
Still, there’s a nice handful of Squeenix games on there. If Final Fantasy Games weren’t already a typical Day One purchase for me, I’d be picking up a lot of games this time around too.
I wonder why the sale is in April this year though?
on April 6, 2009 at 10:38 PM - LINKI know, same here. Maybe they wanted to delay it to coincide with the DSi launch, since there are so many DS games on sale?
Brave Story! That’s one I got last year too! I still haven’t beaten it, sadly. There was one other game I got then, but I can’t seem to recall what.
I’m almost considering Chrono Trigger DS, but $29.99 is still too much for a game I own for the PSX already. (Even though I never beat it on the PSX, or even got past the area where the robot joins.)
