Would it be cheaper to buy it used?

Yes but finding the old xbox games is the problem.

 

Where I live anyway they wont take trade ins on xbox games.

 

get it on ps2.

 

 

You wouldn't believe your eyes if you knew how much superior is the XBOX version.  And how smoother it runs.

I've seen the triple pack for $20 used at ebgames, so $20 for one does not seem like a good price. But many areas don't get these deals, so if you never played SA and have $20 it would be a good move to pick it up. I don't think it said how big the game is, so does anyone know the size of it. Torrents have it at just under 3gb, but i remember the disc had to be dual-layered so 3gb seems pretty small.

1200 points=$15, not $20

Also the Triple Pack is 34.99 used at EB Games.

I might get this, since my PS2 copy doesn't work anymore.

But used game sales vary from store to store and even within the store themselves, using an online store to judge the price or stock of a store is useless.

And points card vary in price from region or country, so it might be $15 in the US but other countries will be forced to pay much more.

Hey that's great, but I own the PC version so I'll skip this probably.
Microsoft should release an achievement patch for all Xbox Originals and I would buy it

I'm sure they would have if it were that easy. That little bit of extra effort would have made sales of these games soar.

Nice to hear about San Andreas. It's still 17.99 used so I might just give it a shot, since everyone talks so highly of it.

 

 

somehow I don't think it's just a little... this is emulation not software running on the 360 directly.

Used game sales do not vary at EB Games/Gamestop, at least not in the U.S. What is on the site is the same program that is used to ticket the games in the stores. Any difference in price you may have seen was probably a missed sticker, which is just an oversight from the staff. Then again, you may have just seen the PS2 GTA Trilogy for 19.99 and assumed it applied to the Xbox version also. The PS2 version does happen to be 19.99 used, but not the Xbox version, which is what counts in this case.

@Cueil-I didn't literally mean "little effort", I just meant the extra work to put them in would have been justified in the increased sales.

You guys are getting ripped off. That's like a 25% markup.
