[quote name='sunil247']Blockbuster used are previously rented games. Personally I never buy games that have been rented - they tend to show quite a lot of wear and tear.
Especially the with popularity of this game, I would advice against getting it used[/quote]
I never understand this type of thinking. Yes, its possible you get a well worn game, however, I've purchased 8 GTAs for both 360 and PS3 over the last week for flipping and only one had even the hint of a scuff and when I trade that one in today, I did not get hit with a refurb fee from GS.
There's a flipside to the popularity, that with the popularity they tend to overbuy copies by leaps and bounds. My local BBV probably had 100+ GTA IVs over both systems at one time, it was on the regular movie new release wall and was never fully rented out or at least was always in whenever I was in there.
There's ways to prevent getting a well worn or incomplete game:
1. Ask to see the disc before purchasing and look inside the case.
2. If you dont do #1, keep the receipt. If its scuffed, take it back. They have a 30 day return policy.
#1 stops any well worn games being purchased.
$14.99 for this game + the chance to get another decent game, or at least something that you can trade in at another store to put towards something else you really want is a steal. GTA IV will not be 14.99 new for a long time, and I'd be willing to bet out of the multitude I've gotten, most have never been played. It breaks down to $7.50 for GTA IV.
