Amazon’s new this week list

Gamestop has 3 for 2 on used games this weekend

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Yup. They are having their famous buy 2 get 1 free sale on used games at Gamestop. We just drove by and it was a madhouse. Probably a lot of DS and 360 games flying out the doors. I talked to one lady who bought 9 DS games for her kid, who got a shiny new DS for Christmas. I’m not too sure she knew the ESRB on the games she bought. One thing to remember: when you get a used DS game at places like this that sell games in generic cases (when someone just sells them the cart), remember o look at the actual cartridge for the ESRB rating. It should be on them. It should also be on the disc if you ar buying a Wii, PS2, PS3 or 360 game. Most good employees have an idea of the ballpark rating for a game or can look it up. Another good tip for buying something used that is in a generic package is to check out the new version of a game for the rating. Happy hunting!
