HAHAHA… C-O-N-S-O-L-E games, you mean, meathead??

Gamestop is where I get my console games at. There is no margin at all on games so you are going to find the prices everywhere.

Used games I go eBay. new games [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). Always free shipping and I always save on tax, Id rather wait a few days and save 5-6 bucks on tax.

If I am really desperate for a preorder or something then I do ebgames or gamestop.

what is this “buy” you speak of?

1. buy a pack of dual layer dvd’s (about $2 each)
2. burn random game
3. if not good, use disc as a drink coaster.

I only preorder a game if its on sale or with special feature - ex: preordered Combat Aces cuz it came with the flight sticks.

Otherwise, I generally wait until I find the game FS used on here, or eBay, or the like.
