Some preliminary information...

Alright folks, let the video games begin! Although first I wanted to talk about two wonderful websites that may help keep your pockets fat and your knowledge of wonderful games fatter. The first is the fairly well known Half.com, which is pretty self explanatory for anyone who uses Amazon or Ebay. It has all kinds of items, but in this case all we care about is games. So you search for a game and different people looking to sell it post the relative condition of theirs with any notes (has a few scratches, manual included!, don’t feed after midnight) and list their price, which is usually much cheaper then where you would find the game anywhere else.

The other wonderful site is one called switchplanet.com. Switchplanet is a site that has its own currency called “switchbucks”. It is an easy way to get something for your old movies, CDs, books, or games. You sell your things to build up switchbucks, then use them to buy whatever you want. So games can be bought practically for free, although 50 cents equals one switchbuck if you need a few more for that long coveted item.

After I review a game I will look up prices on each site to give you all an idea on the cheapest way to find it.
