I used to get Xbox games from the bargain bin when my bro hand me his xbox (when he got the 360). These day however I rarely buy games from the bargain game due to a few "good" ones from DS and Wii games. Also I'm short on cash so I can't buy games whenever I want to.

It's not often that I actually find a bargain bin where I go, BUT, every time I have gone to a store that had a bargain bin, I picked up a good game. So, every time I guess. First time we picked up Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 (both AMAZING games), second time we got kotor (note: I didn't know the awesomeness of the game beforehand, I just saw star wars and thought "hey Star Wars!").

Let me tell a story (it's sort of a long one so go to the bathroom or grab a snack now)

A long time ago (about 10 years now) I found a game in a bargain bin called Robopon 2: Ring Version for the GBA. I didn't know what it was, but it looked neat. Upon playing it, it was one of the most interesting, fun and funny RPGs I'd played in a long time, with some great selection and customization of the robots....
Holy crap, I actually got that game when it was new. I had borrowed the first one from a friend back in the day, and got the sequel as soon as it came out. XD First one was little more than a Pokemon clone (albeit a good one), but the sequel was completely awesome.

On-topic, I have gotten a lot of great games that I missed the first time around, plucked right out of bargain bins. Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Devil May Cry, etc. Some awesome stuff you can find in those bins now.

Yes because:
1) I know enough about the game to make a good choice.
2) A lot of bugs will have been fixed already.
3) An average game seems alot better when it £5 as opposed to £30
