Jadaki 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I mean sell them that way.Instead of trading in at gamestop and getting 1/4th to 1/3rd of the games value you can easily resell on those sites and get back the majority of what you paid. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I sorta know the feeling.... I play solitaire on my Iphone all the time, and it has a timer, so instead of worrying about the score, which maxes out anyway, I try to beat it as fast as I can. For a long time, I couldn't really get under like 140 seconds, then one day I just blew it out of the water and did it in like 121. Now, my best time I'm pretty sure is 109 seconds. At least 109, maybe 106, I forget which one. Still crazy.Strangely enough... I beat my time today. 99 seconds! Link to post Share on other sites
CrookedLink 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 call me old school or what not but I just don't trust ebay or craigslist. on of my friends seemed to always get screwed by ebay.maybe gamefly might be something to checkout though.Yea craig's list is great for selling used games because you can usually get a lot more than gamespot would give you...For example I tried selling my Mirror's Edge back to gamestop and they offered me something ridiculous like $11 knowing damn well they would sell it right back for $35 ( i know i know, they're a business, .w.e) but anyway i ended up selling it to a dude on CL for $30.You can also just trade with other people on CL for games you want. When I wasn't able to get into Fallout 3 I just traded with a guy for Dead Space. Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 interesting site I tend to pickup stuff from gamestop. Even though people don't like how gamestop rips you off it is still a good idea cause I don't like keeping games for that long. http://www.half.comis another site that is a godsend to tightass frugal gamers like myself Link to post Share on other sites
CrookedLink 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just finished up an online COD4 session of complete pwnage. I went on a 7 game winning streak on Free For All with scores like 25-3, 25-5, 25-7 and such. I think I owe it all to having Lil' Wayne's Sky's the Limit on repeat in the background. That song always makes me want to shoot motherf*ckers Link to post Share on other sites

CrookedLink 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What most excites me about this is how soon this thing is going to be available. I mean we're talking about a few months here and this is the first I've heard of it. Hopefully the product delivers what it promises. Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was pretty surprised when I read the article over at IGN about that, man came out of left field for me but I'm definitely stoked about it, looks very very cool and is the jump that I was looking for from the gaming industry.

Hopefully the product delivers what it promises.After doing some more reading, I think most people will be highly disappointed. The ISP's in the US don't have the backbone's in place or in many cases offer the type of in home connection to customers that something that can stream 1900x1280 in 720p at 60fps. Not to mention it would have to be simultaneously handling input commands and keeping those inputs running with no latency to be effective.Then there is the issue of how you pay for it. The interesting thing about Steam is that Valve included in the EULA that if you pay for games on there and the service ever goes offline completely you get hard copies of the games to keep playing single player if you wish, they will not be able to offer the same thing.

Hawaii compared to a lot of states has way slower internet coupled with where I live there are a ton of people in a small area. The idea is great but I just don't think the internet will be fast enough for me. Too bad they don't just make the playstation 360. Where they combine both systems together.

Asimo 1 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey, I posted earlier on this thread that I was looking for an XBOX 360. I' found one in my city on Craig's List but I know there are several different models. Which one is the best and does not have problems with the red ring of death?Edit: The one I'm looking at is white and was purchased in Dec. '08. Link to post Share on other sites

Some worse than others. Jadaki knows more specifically. Link to post Share on other sites
