Picked up Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for $25, good deal. Can't touch it for two weeks, no Xbox til I return to Brisbane when my exams are done

At Big W Eastgardens, most of the 50% off titles are gone. They included games like the The Thing and Wreckless: The Yakuza missions + a bunch of old GC games. In all, nothing really special.

However, this week, GTA San Andreas and Jade Empire (can't remember the other two titles) are on special for $78.83.

I've had a look through 2 stores and couldn't find anything that screamed at me to buy from limited funds, especially with SC:CT to finish, Forza newly bought, and GTA:SA after my exams.

How long is this sale on for, and can I get cheap Metroid games?!?

Is this thing going for a few weeks?
I can't make it to an EB store for another week, and I want Metroid games!

^ It'll go on for awhile, but all the best games will disappear quickly so get in as soon as you can.

^^ you could try ring them and see if they'll hold a copy of something for you...

the worst is they say no...

Good idea ObsoletE - I'll do that now - something about the idea of cheap video games makes me want to throw money at EB...

EDIT:
Damn...
Nobody has "Metroid Fusion" or "Metroid Zero Mission" any more - all sold quickly and now discontinued...

They have "Metroid Prime" and "Metroid Prim 2: Echoes" though, and reduced by a fair amount, but limited numbers left...
Ah well... looks like I'll have to scour ebay for the GBA Metroid games - but how will I find them in "off-the-shelf" condition so that they can go with my collection?
Damnit!
