eBay...?
I get games for like $5 dollars there all the time... picked up L.A. Noire 4 days after it came out for $8 brand new.
Even seen some stuff on there for $00.99...

That's not the only thing, I got Mass Effect 2 for $9, Bioshock 2 for $5, Dragon Age 2 (a week after release) for $14, Fallout: New Vegas for $16 and so forth... (Most of these game were still factory sealed may I add.)Dchao said:
It takes some well timed bidding, some staying up late and some luck. Oh and patience... But you can get some really, really good deals.
Cex.co.uk do some good second hand games and I've had no problem with them. They give all their stuff 12 months warranty just in case.
But for new games, it's a toss up between gameplay.co.uk or amazon.co.uk, though Amazon's prices have the annoying tendency to jump up and down in the space of a few days at times.

I buy all my games from thehut.com ever since I discovered the site. The games are cheap as hell and they have no delivery fee.
The prices may still seem high if you live in UK though. I live in Sweden myself, and in comparison the games are over 50% cheaper - without counting the free delivery.

Ebay. Just go there, type in a new release, look for a cheap game then look for a high rating on there account. That generally means they're a well established Ebayer so there's less of a risk of being ripped.
I've bought a few 3DS games for $20 AUD. Unfortunately I live in Australia so it's also $10 postage. Still saving $20 though.
TheHut seems pretty cheap to and they seem to have a lot of sales.
On a side note, does anyone know how they sell them so cheap. Do they get them straight from the warehouse like shops do? I was thinking of starting up an Ebay business! The price from some places makes it hard to believe they are making a profit unless they are stolen.

Zavvi can be quite good from time to time, although in saying that a lot of the usual places can, especially round about this time of year as well, when there's not all the big releases.
I'd say amazon.co.uk, or you could trade games in at hmv because you get good prices better than game and gamestation.
Some will be stolen. Some lorry drivers that know they are transporting valuable goods claim that some of the stock "fell off the back" and they couldn't deliver it.F4LL3N said:
