News Update - Used Games Extravaganza

Seems like everyone is going the used game route nowadays, with each major electronics retailer caving in one by one. Best buy is re-implementing the change, followed by Toys R US, and now, Amazon. With amazon prime and the prices they offer for all their goods, you might as well purchase the new game when it goes on discount months after a game is released, such as Fallout 3 for $35, limit 10.

I wouldn't go as far to stock 10 copies of fallout 3 and then have to blow it out later at cost or even take a loss! They drop these games to $35 for a good reason; potential overstocks, vendor kickbacks

Then again, I'm sure many vendors in the area just might. We have not invaded the used game territory heavily yet, but it may be a possibility. With inventory piling and buyers selling tons of their items at below blowout prices, we may not venture to that route.
