First off they are rarely that much cheaper, IE. $55 at Gamestop for a $60 game, wtf....  Second, I don't like to put dirty discs or anything thats not handled by myself in my console... Opinions?

 

You're wrong. I buy used games all the time, I also rent via gamefly. They are always cheaper, off ebay, I can get pretty much any game you want over a year old for 20ish bucks, and I can get all the new games you buy for 30-45. That's after shipping. Ebay will save you a ton of money, and the games are almost universally in better shape than you get them from gamestop, even if you buy them new, since they now automatically break the factory seal for any game they keep overnight.

You shop on Ebay, you play the same games for way less money. You use gamefly, you rent used games and pay 12 dollars a month.

Name a game, and I'll tell you the price I can get it to you for, used. I guarntee you it will be much, much cheaper than buying it new, assuming the game costs 40+ dollars new.

The only games I buy new are games I want in the first month of release, or games that I want to support the company that creates it. I bought Vesperia new, for instance, and a strategy guide. I bought FES new, I bought Bioshock new, I buy Nintendo games new, I buy Phoenix Wright and EBA new. I'll buy Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Gears 2 new. That's about it.

Used games, assuming you don't buy from the ripoff pawnshop gamestop, and actually know where to go to buy them, are much, much cheaper, and in great condition, if you know how to shop. People with active Ebay accounts get such great deals, lol, it's like being a shopping insider.

It's basically paying for what the game is really worth, instead of some preset amount. Even new, factory sealed games on ebay, are usually much cheaper. Like the other day, I got a factory sealed copy of Crackdown for 8 dollars. I have factory sealed Dead Rising and Oblivion from Ebay, paid 20 bucks for both of them together. I have like 35 360 games, 96 PS2 games, 14 gamecube games, and that's not counting the hundreds of games I've resold on Ebay after I beat then for more than I paid.

In fact, I made so much money, I was able to afford a new HD Sammy about 3 months ago, just from selling the games I bought off ebay.
