found this game buying article intresting,
"One of the most worst things you can do as a consumer is to buy games, especially if they are not new, from a local retail outlet. Most of the games within these stores are overpriced even after you factor in the discount that you will get from the advertised sale price or the savings through the store's discount card. If you have too, then its best to buy a game from the pre-owned section. Pre-owned games are generally in good condition and cost 20 % less then their counterparts, just remember to inspect the game box for any missing game manuals and the game disc for scratches."

Good tips for beginners but any discernable gamer would do this anyway...

Saying that when a new console launches try buying a 2nd hand game for less than 10% dicsount - PSP games 9 months after release are still very expensive from 2nd hand stores.

Good tip indeed...although I really dont trust store credit cards...best place to buy uber cheap games is really from ebay (or a boot sale, or a friend who got given that game but didnt like it)

Well if news are right PS3 second hand games will be illegal.

They are usually cheaper on ebay rather than in store - just watch out for scammers.
