I was just asking because I think i get most of mine off ebay and they where new and 2 games where used but I save alot of money. I have four controllers, console, dvd playback, 6 games for $590. But I will buy hunter full price.

i get most of my from ebgames. If you do that make sure you go through the link on xba as they will get a kick back for each purchase.

Mine come from Funcoland because of the trade-in policy. I've been keeping track (with a spreadsheet) of the average cost per game I'm paying according to purchase price and trade-in value. Some games end up costing nothing :cool: I think my average cost is $29 now.

I primarily go to Electronics Boutique, however, here on the West Coast, there is a chain called "Fred Meyer" that has a Home Electronics department and they run sales often. Sometimes 30% off of all video games for every console. They don't take returns or trade-ins, but, that sale is tough to pass up :)

my local best buy always has the best availability. They never seem to run out of games, even during release day for some reason... so if it is in demand I pick it up there. aside from that I have traded a few games in to EB for credit and picked up another one.

Half.com is awesome Maximus. Remember when JJax was talking aobut getting that video essentials DVD for our HDTV's. I looked everywhere but it was a minimum of $40. Then I found it on half.com for $20 w/ 3 day shippng.

I get mine on the trade forums here @ XBA... I occassionally stop by XBOX Users Group too, but just for trades. If I get something new, its usually from eBay.:cool:

I buy games from Future Shop, Walmart and Superstore. I dont buy games from video game stores cause theyre usually more expensive, especially this Play Me games store which sometimes charges up to $99 for new games. They even still have Kabuki Warriors for $84.99 plus tax. Also the used games there are usually only a few bucks less than new games at Future Shop.

Game Stop (formerly Funcoland) due to there 7 day 100% credit policy. Plus 10% off used games with there club ($10.00)

Plus they always toss me a free mag or something cause i'm a regular. Don't think ihave paid for an OXM since it came out.
