Wow, I had no idea it was that bad over there. And here I thought 60 bucks for a new game was a bit harsh here in Canada.
Yeah, we've got the same sales going on at the Aus EB games and I saw a used copy of GTA IV on sale for $115 AUD ($109 USD)!
I'm just lucky I barely ever buy games for PS3, at least PC games can be bought for half price on steam.

dang and i thought we were bad (gamecrazy). for gta IV we give 30 (or 33 if you have an "mvp card") usd and sell it for 55. used to be 50.
lol ebgamestop never gives you more than an average of $16 of trade-in credit ever. most they can give you for a 2 weekold game is $25. So when you buy a game you better like it.
Ive worked in ebgames (in NZ, in Nelson, to be exact), and trade-ins are where they make their money; its pretty obvious when you think about it, they get maybe $2 or $3 for new games, but more like $50 + for pre-owned. Thats why you're told to push preowned sales and edge cards whenever possible. It works pretty well too, since a good amount of customers like saving a paltry %5.
Sucks to be you, me, and everyone who doesn't live in the land of apple pie or the land of the rising sun.
:( this just reminded me how much I hate game prices here.
And with the Nintendo distributer gone, that means no Brawl, which was fiiiiiiiiinally going to come out.

You poor bastard. You should move.
I also love buying used games, and never trade in anything. I make sure everything I buy is something I keep.

Well said.
Gamestop / EB are the spawn of the devil. I hate that they've pretty much absorbed every decent video game store chain that's ever existed within the past ten years. No more Babbages, no more Funcoland, no more Famcom games, all gone to this monstrosity.
