Guess the online play for either isn't compelling. There were a few CoD4 but nothing compared to those two. What shocked me most in there's this entire rack full of used GTAIV and they are all still priced only $5 cheaper than the new version. WTF? You'd think with so much supply they'd lower the sell price to move them off the shelves. MGS I can understand, it's linear and once played lacks replay value. But what happened with GTAIV folks? My son still plays GTA:SA. And I don't see many copies of that on shelves. |
EB Games/Gamestop rather sell fewer games at a higher profit then more games with a smaler profit thats how they operate. Also they usally don't lower their prices on used games until they pay significantly less to people selling their games. Consumers are better off selling their unwanted games through ebay, craig's list or their friends then to EB Games/Gamestop.
