Game prices online and on the streets

Post by RCBH928 »

This is just a simple question.
Since I have to pay like $15 extra on ever game I buy online(amazon) for shipping(the other option is to pay like $80+ for new game and $60 for an old one) , are the prices cheaper in brick and mortar stores?

Most games I want: Bioshock, Assassin Creed, half life 2, Eternal Sonata, Dead Rising are around the $15-20 between used and new. What are the prices in brick and mortar stores? I hear you guys scoring great deals on these stores so I was just wondering.

Where I am a $30 game is equivalent to $10 game, that is like a really great find. No one blames me if I tend to pirate some games.

Bio-shock for 360/PS3 is $30 brand new in B&M stores if that helps. The PC version is $20.

I feel their are three ways to get games:

1) Stores, that have retail price and occasionally fair-terribly priced used games
2) The internet, with retail or discounted new games ranging from cheap to retarded used games
3) Garage Sales, you have hit the mother load, enjoy your dirt cheap treasures (b^_^)b
