The whole $3 to cover your disc for a year thing cause you know in your mind that as soon as u go for the used copy, you should get that warranty.

The used copy is $5 less but with the warranty, its $2 less

I don't recall Gamestop offering me that.  I do know that the used warranty is vastly superior.  You can return it in a week no questions asked, with 30 days to get a refund. Where I think new.. is just a week of refunds?

So you don't even have to buy the warranty. You get an entire month to find out if the game works or not - free of charge. Plus if you have the card you get 10% off. Which would be another $5 off.

$10 off, and a much better warranty - pretty good deal. Specially since you can just open the game right there and then and ask for a new one if you see any problems.

I have been asked at best buy if I wanted to buy a warranty for $3.  I say no thanks.

Well with the red card, I dont get any discounts...

And the point of the warranty is if your game dies within the year since it is a used copy, it has a higher chance of dying sooner.

And of course, its $10 off from a $60 game where as if you got a new copy for $10 more, it would always work and it wont have any scratches. Also the resell value would be higher if you keep your games in good conditions
