Yet another bonus--at least for me in TX--is no sales tax. Seems that a lot of eBay sellers are now selling "download codes" for Skyrim, and they can be had for as low as ~$20. The lowest "Buy it Now" I could find for a sealed retail version is $35 shipped.

Considering that Skyrim is still selling for $52 shipped at Amazon (not to mention an outrageous $60 at Gamestop), this is a great deal from Newegg. Even used copies of Skyrim are selling for $38+ through Amazon marketplace and eBay. If you're like me and like to play through games and sell...

You should try selling games on eBay instead of trading them in. I've sold hundreds over the years, and have only had a few problems w/ customers. Outside of the games I've bought (for which I obviously haven't yet been reimbursed) I have probably recouped 90+% of the money I've paid, even...

We can talk about "chips" all we want, but what matter to me--and I would assume to most gamers--are two things: 1) Can I play the GF games on my 360/PS? If so, 2) Can I sell the game on eBay and have confidence that I won't get a return request? If the answer to both questions is "Yes!" as it...

You can get a used-like new copy of MP3 right now on Amazon for $25 shipped; that might be a better option for you.

Yes, what is this obsession with cosmetic "chips"? Since when does that matter for used games? This isn't the comic collection business, is it? We're still talking about video games and their playability (that is what I always assumed the "excellent condition" referred to), and I have *never*...

I love getting these GOTY's b/c they include all the DLC. One of my biggest gaming pet peeves is paying for DLC of any kind, simply b/c I can't re-sell DLC! So when Bethesda bundles all the DLC goodness, it always makes me happy b/c I know I'll get to play another game for (about) free!

I'm not sure this will be a $5 bargain bin at any point in the near future. The franchise value is very strong, and only looks to continue being strong over the next couple of years. It's likely discounted now b/c BB ordered too many, expecting better marketing w/ the series' success and...

^This +1. Thank you for bringing proper perspective to this discussion. There is a clear method of customer service for GF. I checked my account, and have ordered 9 discs from GF. Every single disc played properly in my 360 or PS3. They will continue to get my business.

(GS employee viewing live video of manual thief) GS Emp: Wait...did that guy just...open one of our used cases and take out the freaking manual??? What is he thinking??? GS Manager: Rewind that....yeah....yeah, I think he did. GS Emp (getting up from his chair): Well, shouldn't we go stop him...

I like having manuals simply b/c I selll every game on eBay once I've finished it. The "complete w/ original case and manual" hook always brings a little more interest and higher sale price to an auction, if only b/c the buyer is less inclined to think that they're buying a former Blockbuster...

Dance Central OOS

Dance Central back in stock.

Ah, I fondly recall those 2 1/2 weeks back in college when I was an anarchist. Then I grew up.

I must be really lucky. I ordered AC: Bro (360), GoW3 & KZ3 online last Sunday, and they were all available at Price Plaza (Katy, TX) BB, only 3 miles from my house so I didn't have to waste much gas to get there. All 3 games came in orig cases w/ manual, totaling $21. A great deal...
