Bargain Hunting Deux

Posted by Anton Gordon at 3:05 PM Sep 02, 2008

A few days back I asked readers for their tips on hunting for video game bargains. A few of you sent in your tips, including this one from reader Jason:

The best tip I can suggest for find great deals on games is to make friends with a gamestop employee. A friend of mine used to work at at a GS and whenever people would bring a game or accesory that he knew I was looking for he would call me and see if they would take a slightly higher cash offer for the item. I was able to snag a 60gb PS3 this was for $200.

Anyone else cozy up to a GameStop employee in order to get deals on games? I know the clerks at my store from my time shopping there, and they've given me a break from time to time, but nothing as swank as Jason's PS3 deal.

Here's my bargain tip of the day: If you live in Seattle, or are still in the area from PAX, there's a ton of copies of the latest WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw game for PS2 on clearance at the Target just north of downtown. $10 bucks a pop. Not bad at all. If you like half-naked sweaty man games, that is.
