Online shopping is a massive part of our daily lives now, assuming you can afford it, but there are certain parts of the internet's shopping centre that should be avoided as a gamer on a budget.

Brand New With Tags might be on the eBay listing, for example, but what arrives is usually a badly refurbished disc in a re-sealed package - strictly speaking it was sealed so you can't even get your money back. Brilliant.

You could always venture into the Amazon realm of 'new & used' and trust an independent seller's opinion on the disc looking 'like new', but it'll never work. A 'like new' copy of your favourite game of all time will no doubt be dropped through your letterbox in a sorry, sorry state...
