There are two kinds of video game buyers: intelligent shoppers and the “drunken clown in space” folk. Smart buyers get the good deals and spend their money wisely. The clowns flail their arms and throw money in every possible direction. Not a pretty sight.
My personal triumps over Big Brother have netted me some sweet game deals over the last few years. Discounts ranging from a few pennies to half-off brand new games have graced my grinning wallet. It’s a simple matter of smart shopping, comparison buying, and lots of patience. You, too, can become a cheap video game connoisseur with just a few tweaks in your buying habits. Once you feel that rush of saving one, two, maybe even three cents on a video game purchase, you’ll never go back.
- eBay (Check FREQUENTLY, you never know when a great deal will pop up)
- Amazon (Usually good prices, but it can be hit-and-miss)
- Froogle (Indexes thousands of online retailers. Good for picking up that strange deal)
- Ebay Express (Small inventory thus far but huge potential)
- Half.com (Often overlooked but filled with good prices)
There, now you can stop being a drunken clown in space and lean more toward the savvy video game buyer. These internet deals are just the tip of the iceberg in scoring cheap video games, but it’s an excellent first step.
