8. Great Deals On Previous Generation Classics
EA/Microsoft/Naughty DogHere's a scary little math problem to solve: count all the games you've bought for your Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, and then multiply that by the average price for games at launch. What are we looking at, around $50 a pop, give or take? Put that all together and look at the answer. Frightening, isn't it? Now click over to your favourite online retailer, and have a gander at the prices that these games are going for now. Not the newest titles, of course - publishers will push for the big bucks until the very last game hits the shelves, so the latest releases will always be crazy expensive - but the hordes of amazing games that have come out over the past years for these consoles. The budget bins are quite literally overflowing with top notch titles, huge savings on brilliant games that may have slipped through the cracks. This is the time to snap up a couple of serious bargains. The tail end of a generation is when we start seeing all the Game Of The Year Editions being pumped out, and collections where you get a couple of titles from one popular franchise all bundled together. For the collectors, now is your opportunity to pick up sought-after leftover Limited Edition box sets and so on, those once ridiculously pricey sets with the figurine and sew-on patch and other genuine imitation plastic bits and pieces. Whatever you're into, you'll find a whole lot with your name on it, going for a song.
