I have 37 games and 28 of them are pre owned, do you buy preowned games? or are you willing to pay the full price just to have it straight away?

Just bought NBA Live 2002 preowned and it has to be the worst basketball game ever, 2001 was great with 3 point shootout tournaments and stuff, but this has nothing but rubbish, anyone thinking of getting this game dont.

I haven't been in Blockbuster for aaaages. I'll have to check them out if they're doing decent prices.

As for pre-owned games - if I want a game that's cheaper pre-owned, I'll get the pre-owned copy. I've never had an issue with bad cases/disks, just as long as the game works. The thing I hate most about pre-owned games is that there's always a sneaking suspicion that somebody might have read the manual whilst sitting on the can. Nobody wants that.

I managed to get Forbidden Siren PS2 for £15 off eBay which was quite good, although Play.com sell it new 17.99 but it was out of stock.

Local Blockbuster is becoming a good source of secondhand cheapness, plenty of decent 4.99 titles!

What a coincidence green ferocity, i bought Top Spin and PGR2 as well together off of eBay. How you doing on both of them? On Top Spin I've just won my first Pro tournament and I'm now ranked 11th. On PGR2 I'm in the Sport Utility series (only started playing it yesterday).
