One really nice thing is that most of the game manuals and instructions are on the internet these days. So you don’t need to worry about anything being missing from the boxes. Simply erase any old characters (this is only needed for some of the DS games) and you’re off to the races. Here are a few ideas that will help you save money.

Online Video Game Stores

You might not know this but EB Games carries a wide selection of used games. So many gamers sell their old games there that even hard to find games are often available. Even if the local EB Games store doesn’t have what you want, their online store probably does. In fact, it’s probably the first place you should look since their inventory isn’t restricted to one city.

Online Auctions

eBay and Half aren’t strictly game stores but that’s just fine. They are fabulous places to get games. Tons of Nintendo games (and systems) are listed every day giving you a great chance of finding what you want at a reasonable price. Talk about a never ending supply of cheap fun! So head over to the Nintendo Wii or Nintendo DS section of eBay, start shopping, and help Link, Mario, and all of your favorite characters save the world!
