The thing is that you can find good deals on new games on almost all online retail sites. If you really want a game you are more than likely going to shell out the full price on day 1 to support the developer. If you can wait, online retailers always put the price down at random times. Like sometimes amazon will lower the cost to $40 just a month after release. Not always, but they do. By the time a used game is dirt cheap is when its well over a year old.
