Another big reason not to buy used games is because the Developer doesnt get the $55.. Ebgames does.

I want most of my money going to the people who deserve it.

The only time I ever buy used is if it's an old PS2 game for like $5

EBgames/gamestop is a ripoff for the vast majority of used games. $55 for a used copy of uncharted or $60 for a new one? From what I've found most PS2 titles are also over priced.

I never used to but I do buy used games from rogers video (many I just wouldn't buy at full price) with their 2/$40 deal. You can't go wrong with two recently released games for $40.

I generally avoid used when I can find new. That said, for rare titles I passed up from past generations of game systems, used is usually the only choice unless I want to pay exorbitant amounts of money for packaging that will ultimately get tossed once the game's unboxed.

Buying used is better for the environment and cheaper.  You say $5 off isn't a lot, but that's one free game every 12 purchases.  I dunno about you, but for me that's about 2 free games a year.

I don't always buy used, but if I am patient enough to wait for a game to be out a few weeks/months before I buy it then I usually buy used.  (Generally it's either pre-order or buy used).

I get the odd game used. I prefer to buy new though...

As the original post stated, You only save about $5 for used.

I prefer new, but as long as the disc in good condition, I don't care.

I love used games, especially when the "trade 6 for a DS" deal comes around @ EB.
Some of the better deals I got within the past year were
-SSBM/Sunshine/Viewitful Joe/MP6 for 25$
-multiple copies of FF12 for 10$ each
-GTA4 for 20$
-Tales of Symphonia for 10$
-Touchmaster/Crosswords DS/NY Times Crosswords for 15$

buying s/h games is often look on as being as bad for the industry as piracy.

I rarely buy games and if I do, its usually on day 1 as its something Ive waited to buy for months. things like SMG where i expected there to be a shortage I have ordered months in advance.

Since ive picked up a PS3 reciently theres a small backlog of games I want which I'll probably get through ebay. I cant see the point in going to a retailer and saving about 5% off the price of a brand new copy.

I personal buy new, but I am selling my used games. Besides who buys used games at gamestop. Thats a total ripoff, also selling games there. I sell my games on Amazon ;)
