Buying Games

[Sean]

Does anyone know where I could buy some Original Xbox and PS2 games, somewhere where they sell them cheap?

GameStop and most retail / local stores don't sell them anymore and everywhere I look online people are selling them for a rather high price for 4-8 year old games.

If you have a Play N Trade that you can reach, you can give them a try. The one in my area sells & trades games dating back to the Atari.

I usually look through eBay for PS1 games, picked up Harvest Moon and Spyro for relatively cheap. If you live by a CashConverters, you can try there.

We do have one near me but I had no idea they sold Xbox Originals.

What do the prices usually run?

I'd imagine the prices vary on shop location, but the one I go to has nice prices. Sega Genesis cartridges going for like 25 cents to 50 cents a piece, average Dreamcast game for $2-5, etc. I picked up Jade Empire on Xbox for $7 (with case and manual booklet) last time I went.

Thrift stores and Goodwills are good for the economically deficient gamer.

If you have a local "Cex" shop, sells older games very cheaply, or their website - http://uk.webuy.com/

I'm pretty sure Amazon always has old games for cheap prices. It might depend on what games you're looking for though.

Got Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Unreal Tournament for 1.97, buy one used and get one free!
Also got Brink, Tom Clancy's End War, Bulletstorm and Medal of Honor Airborne for about 30 total, another buy one get one free, all four were in shrink wrap too.

Thanks for the tip Gikoku
