Not recent (a couple of years ago), but one of the best deals I ever encountered was getting a new/like new Steel Battalion from Gamestop for about $35.
I called nonlocal stores until I found one that claimed they only had the disc, and one that claimed they only had the controller, but that the controller was new and only marked as used because they lost the disc. The "bundle" was listed as $50, but each item was considered a "bundle" even though an item was missing from each. So I expected to have to pay $100, which I was okay with.
I got a local store to request them. When they both came in Gamestop also started a very steep discount on original Xbox games. I grabbed them and took them home. I opened up the box with the new controller and noticed a cardboard flap at the bottom. I pulled it up and BAM! New, sealed copy of the game. It was in there the whole time, they just never saw it because it was under a piece of cardboard. So I returned the other disc I purchased, and ended up only paying about $35 for the sealed game, and a new but open controller.
Now I do kind of wish I kept the extra game to play, and left the other sealed. But it's hard to complain too much.
