Yeah I'm liking the timing of this

God of War getting incredible reviews. I'm not watching any videos until starting the game next week.

Ohhh good I have something to look forward to now.

I think I'm gonna trade a bunch of games in at the local game store and buy this one.

Never do that. Never.

Yeah, it's never a good deal for the consumer.

Then again, between Best Buy's Gamers Club and Amazon I can't remember a time I paid full price for a new game.

How do those things work? Do you buy used from Amazon? I don't mind trading in a bunch of old games I don't play anymore.

If you have prime you can get 20 percent off a pre-ordered new game. Sell the games you don't want yourself (on eBay, Craigslist, Amazon, etc.) and you can get quite a bit more money back.

OK, yeah. I'm gonna try selling on Amazon. Thanks.

Depending on the game, you can usually get 20-50 percent more for a game selling yourself. Just invest in some bubble mailers.

How do you decide what price to list the game at? Is there a current used value site you use?

I usually look at the lowest price being offered for a used copy and try to be competitive with it. There's a strategy to it.

Last time I tried selling a game on Amazon I found out that if you try to sell a Nintendo game as "new" you have to have a copy of the invoice where you bought it from Nintendo. Which is a weird requirement, I have to say.

And the time before that they took so much of the price of the game that it ended up that I made no profit even though I sold the game for $30 over what I paid for it.

Yeah, looking at all the used game prices listed on Amazon, I'm thinking I might as well trade them in at the local game store. They give very fair prices for trade ins.

I'm fucking pumped about the GoW reviews, currently holding at 94% on metacritic! Next Friday can't come soon enough. Not watching any videos either and only going to read through a few of the more reputable sources; trying to keep spoilers to a minimum. Great to see the game length w/ side quests is somewhere in the vicinity of 30 hours--it will surely take me longer as I've turned into a pretty bad gamer who gets to play 1-2 times per week tops. So many great games coming out over the next 6 months with the Last of Us 2 hopefully coming in early 2019....

And yeah for the love of God don't trade in your games, it's a complete rip off. I'd rather hold onto a game that I'll never play again then get $2.08 back for something I paid $60 for just a year ago....I buy all my new ones through amazon prime now and automatically get the 20% off w/ release day delivery.

Very excited too. Watched some review videos and have been catching up on my Norse mythology. Nah dudes my local game store is fair, unlike the chains. It's family owned.

Yeah, family owned is very different. Support them if they're giving you a fair deal.

That's awesome, no family-owned gaming stores close to me; I would certainly do trades if they were fair (unlike the Gamestops of the world).

The fact these reviews are claiming the GoW visuals are more impressive than Horizon is pretty exciting.

Finally getting into mgsV this weekend. Loving it
