If you want cheaper games pay the 2nd hand price. Personally I prefer it if publishers didn't destroy the resale/trade-in value of my game collection.

Then it's time to start looking at video games as recreation as opposed to some financial investment.

Bingo! 

 

And on Playstation you can do this. 

 

So triple A game launches in November.  2 weeks later it's on a Christmas sale on psn for $40. So you only have to wait a few weeks and it's already nicely discounted.  If you really care about better trade in value just wait 2 weeks and get it on sale.

I actually know people who bought bf4 for $5 on psn and then went to the store and traded in their retail copy for $20. So they actually made money through the sale.

Here's the update to the monthly rankings (seven days since last update):

PS4 Uncharted 4 bundle: #4 (↓2)
XBO 500GB (plus Ghost Recon & Amazon gift card): #5 (—)
Switch (neon): #7 (↑2)
Switch (grey): #8 (↓1)
XBO 1TB Halo Wars 2 bundle: #52 (↓14)
New 3DS XL (Galaxy): #58 (↑21)
PS4 Pro: #82 (↑3)
PS4 Pro 1TB Destiny 2 bundle: #98 (↓15)

Slightly surprised PS4 is still ahead in the monthly.

Maybe the Switch wont win the month by as much as I thought.

Don't be too surprised; it looks like only Amazon and Walmart got stock this month.

Didn't GameStop and Best Buy also get a fresh supply in for Splatoon 2's launch?

Prime day was also this month, so Amazon won't be very accurate. 

Case in point XBO is ahead of the Switch.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

it's easier to keep prices high for your first party games when they have such little competition on your console

looks like Uncharted is going to do well, high up already with a month still to go before release. I reckon it will enter the yearly chart by the end of this week

software only gets included in the ranking if:

  1. It's yet to be released this month
  2. It's yet to be released and in the top 20

Pokémon Ultra Sun + Ultra Moon steelbook is 48th, so it doesn't get included with the rankings.
