Since Family Video isn't pretty much YMMV as far as selection, and not prices, I think this finally warrants it's own thread. It's been confirmed that prices are the same throughout the chain, but it just boils down to if your local store has marked them for sale.

Some points:
  • If there are three or more of a particular title, once it's rental frequency drops, stores may clear out all but two copies. This is particularly true with newer, current gen titles.
  • If there are older titles and there are multiple copies, you may be able to get them to sell them, even if they are not tagged for sale. Just be super-courteous and hope the manager is on duty. It worked for me.
  • One drawback is there are high chances you may not get a manual. Be sure to check all rental cases for a manual and take that up to the counter with the tagged case. If there are no manuals on any of the rental cases, ask at the counter. Sometimes they have extras in the game drawer.
  • This is based on observation. If I can get a FV employee that can provide better details, I'll update this.
  • 50% of all available copies that were NOT rented over the previous weekend (Example: If a store had 8 copies of a title, 4 of them were rented over the weekend, and 4 weren't, they will be able to sell 2 copies) - Thanks DaKrazie1 for the info!
Enjoy!

So does anyone know how often the game prices change? Like how long I would have to wait for Mass Effect to go to $19.99?
