[quote name='Soodmeg']My exact opinion also.
Again..there is no way that just opening a video game should reduce the value 20 or more dollars.

I agree.
There are some very weird prices. Let's say Zelda for the Wii, as soon as you open it, it loses half it's value? Why? You bring it to GS and they give you crap for it, and then sell it for $40 used. I rather buy a new game then trust the idiots at GS.
There are very few games that keep their value a long time, most of them are Mario Parties for some reason.
Getting rid of games is usesless unless you can get in on a great trade at GS, doubtful at best, or trade it directly to the person or sell it on eBay for a good ammount.
A friend of mine had several PS2 games he wanted to trade in and one Xbox 360 game. I don't remember what the Xbox 360 game was, but it wasn't a bad game. GS would hive him close to $20 for some crap PS2 game and $11-$12 for another crap PS2 game. They would have only gave him $8 for the Xbox 360 game. He's like "You're joking?" and kept the game. He spent $60 on it not that long ago and thought he could get some money back to buy a new game.
I have some bad game that were $5 or $10 that I hardly play, but I will keep them and give them as gifts to my little cousins then sell them.
