I got $1 for a yu-gi-oh game that cost me sixty bucks from eb games, because the game was a horrible failure. When I got home, my friend called me and offereed me twenty bucks for it! Arggggg!

 why would you sell it for a dollar, honestly.  It's worth more to put in your toaster or something

360 games, and I believe PS3 ones also, release for 60 bucks, then eventually drop to 40.



ive seen used games in canada for 49.99 for a game that still serlls at 59.99 and 59.99 for a game that sells at 69.99. well ive only seen this at eb games as you know they are such a rip off.

they offered me 125 bucks fro my xbox 360 halo gears and hdd. thats how you know.



When I wanted to buy Melee again it was $40 used so I just got it new for $30 at Target.

I miss Funcoland.  That place was heaven for used game buying.  But then it got bought out ...

Games are best when you get them from video stores that are closing down. i recently picked up two games that were released only a few months ago for like a third of the regular retail price. I prefer to get games second hand when they are reduced you get more value. Brand new games are a rip off.

Gah come over to England for some really shit pricing..
 At least we get price drops BEFORE release. Imagine waiting a year for a price drop!

 



Generally new games release for 60 dollars, and used games are 55.

eventually, sometimes after a year, the game will be like 30 or 40 bucks.
the ps3 hasn't been out long yet, but hopefully theyll have 20 dollar plantinum games.

some games that are remakes or are short start off with a price of 50 or 40, like lego star wars or harry potter 5, etc. at some stores.

 I know that, I just happen to have a wii, so I said for the Wii but in general it is like what i described. 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
