In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don't understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn't down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?

We used to have GAME stores everywhere and they occasionally had really nice deals. I loves those stores, it's a shame they went bankrupt.

For a discount on a new game? I while ago I bought a ps4 for a friend and just got a bunch of second hand games from that store. All common ones but I saved a bunch of money that way.

But 5 bucks discount is nothing, you can get so much better in other venues.

I suppose. Discounted nintendo games is nice though, those are almost never discounted. Plus the old games they sell are fun. Digging through old ds games and such.

Here they are discounted a lot, very often in the 40 euro range (new)

I guess all of these stores will be gone before too long as these days a large portion of the new consoles don’t have a disc drive at all.
