Buy Video Games Cheaper

By John Craddock

If you are a video gamer, then you will be well aware that video games can be quite expensive at times. See my top tips on saving money when buying video games.

Regular gamers can spend hundreds of pounds each year. Although you can get a lot of pleasure on your purchases, this is often still way to expensive. Thankfully, there are many ways that can save you money when buying video games.

Pre-Order early. Lots of retailers put video games on offer before their release. Windows 7 operating system was 120 on many retailers' sites, yet I managed to pre-order a copy from Tesco for 40 in a 2-day special promotion! This example can be applied to video games. I recently searched around for a good pre-order deal on the massive upcoming game: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. After 1 hour of searching around, I came across a site selling it for 36.95, everywhere else was 45.99. That's nearly a saving of 10!

Purchase second hand. Wait for the game your looking to buy to come out, then search on eBay for people selling it in used, but like new condition. Some people who purchased are bound to not like it and put it up for sale at a reduced cost, be ready to grab a good condition second copy with 10%+ off.

Most online retailers accept "promo codes". Do a search on Google for the shops name your looking to buy from, with the phrase "promo codes" after it. Nearly all retailers have a promo code, spend 10 minutes looking and you're likely to find one, even if its only for free delivery.

All of these tips could save you a small fortune. However, I have one more tip, which is better than any others. It's a website which allows you to quickly find the game your looking to purchase, then checks the latest prices from all online retailers. This not only saves you a lot of money, but also saves a lot of time! www.checkgameprices.com is a fantastic tool I use all the time to save 100s a year on my video game orders. Combine all of these great tips to save money off your future video game purchases.
