Cleaning House (and undercutting Gamestop)

September 22, 2008 by Nat 2 Comments

I’ve been a little cynical lately regarding just about every area of gaming. Today, I’m going to touch on the used game market. Two words: Screw them.

With that in mind, just like last time, I’m going to make the offers here first before I go to eBay. Here’s the idea. I’ll sell the used games cheaper than Gamestop does but at a price higher than their trade-in value. The result is that we all win…if you want to own any of these titles. I’m only going to sit on this for 24 hours from the date of this post. Also, my opinions of the title follow.

Title
GS $ My$ Comments
Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise 360 34.99 30 Viva Pinata 1 with a new cover?
Ghost Squad Wii 26.99 20 Excellent shooter. Just like the arcade.
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune PS3 49.99 40 Fun for a single play through.
Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 54.99 45 Came with the PS3. Not a fan. Don’t care.
Overlord 360 17.99 10 A fun romp good for a play through.
Bioshock 360 34.99 25 Yeah. I was shocked, and I’m not into hyper-violence.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 360 54.99 40 Sigh.

Oh, did I mention that shipping (USPS) is included in the prices above? As you can see, in most cases I’m $10 under (and still over) the market asking prices.

    Well, good luck! I’ve either played most of these or don’t want them, but they’re pretty good prices.

    You can use that money to pick up Tales Of The World: Radiant Mythology for the PSP and watch your free time vanish 🙂

    I was thinking of picking up SWFU, but your last post has me nervous 🙂

    The kids would love Viva Pinata, though. We may have to work something out.
