Yeah, I always buy used; EB games is my faorite store. But, personal note: Do! not! trade! in! games! I tried to trade in about 18 or so games. Some were ps2 games, some GBA games, some n64. Well, they offered me 30 bucks. I flat out refused. Though there used game section usually has something for everyone and, until a while ago, had some good n64 titles. I love the n64.
