Family Video Video Game Sale - lots at $9.99

Cool. I'll try to check it out later this week.

As a former Family Video employee, ( I was there for 3 years), this is extremely ymmv. There are surplus reports that we used to get and it depends on how well some of the games rent. They will likely have some pretty good deals,though. Just the specific titles might not be universal. They also offer a guarantee on used games, but most likely wont include any online passes (though you can check inside the actual cases of them before you bring 'em up, you might get lucky). Also, if you're a customer with a good reputation there, you can likely ask em to knock off a few bucks or something.

do all family videos sell video games? and will all family videos be doing this sale too?

Ya I believe they all sell games, but if there's a smaller store, they will be more likely to hold onto their games. It's also very rare if a store sells their last remaining copy. Often what happens is this: let's take the call of duty:black ops for example. They will literally order 16 of them the first day it comes out. As the title becomes less popular, they will sell off any ones that aren't really renting. After a few months they'll try to sell them for 40 or so a piece and it will eventually get lower until they have a sale such as these summer sales. I believe all stores have this summer sale and will try to off their extra stock. As much as I disliked working there, they often treat customers very well. It's worth checking out, I bought a lot of games there as an employee. Go to a bigger store for a greater selection.

Thanks for the post OP and thanks jlucchesi for the good advice.
