    Default Where do you guys get your games?

    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 buy mine used at my local swap shop, or amazon.com they have cheap used games from other customers that sell them online. i don't pay over 30.00 for any of my games either

    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 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.

    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.

    Same as faceoff, all of my games came from walmart except my xbox, and the two games that came with it (amped, and munchies odeyssey) they came from Costco.

    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.
