SecondSpin sale offers extra cheap prices for used games

Starting today until March 16th, preowned media retailer SecondSpin is offering customers free shipping and 20% off its used items. Unlike GameStop and Electronics Boutique, SecondSpin sells every game with the manual and box, so you won't have to worry about receiving an incomplete package. All you need to do to take advantage of the deal is use this coupon code: TWENTY314.

SecondSpin has too many available Nintendo DS and GBA titles (450+) for us to list, but we've put together a short tally of games that you might want to pick up.

Nintendo DS:

• Custom Robo Arena - $13.79 $11.03
• Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Justice for All - $12.99 $10.39
• Scurge: Hive - $10.39 $8.39
• Spectrobes - $14.99 $11.99
• The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - $26.99 $21.59
• True Swing Golf - $9.99 $7.99

GBA deals:

• Final Fantasy IV Advance and V Advance - $14.99 $11.99
• Gunstar Super Heroes - $7.99 $6.39
• TMNT - $14.99 $11.99

Filed under: Sales

Need to fill a few holes in your DS library? Take advantage of this week's GameStop sale for over 175 used games. While most of them are crap -- license-based software and other forgettable releases -- the titles listed below are worth picking up at these prices.

• Hotel Dusk: Room 215 - $19.99
  
• Elite Beat Agents - $15.99
• Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - $14.39

• Age of Empires: Age of Kings - $10.39
• Battles of Prince of Persia - $7.99
• Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits - $6.39

Unfortunately, these bargains are only available at brick and mortar locations, so we hope you don't mind throwing on a thick coat and braving the winter weather! Don't forget to bring along the coupon we've pasted past the break.

Update: Clarified that this sale is in-store only. Thanks, Joe!

Micro Center offers convoluted process for two free games

Filed under: Sales

If you're in the market for a new DS Lite and happen to have one of Micro Center's 21 US locations nearby, this might be the deal for you! Starting yesterday and lasting until this Christmas, the computer retailer will hand out two coupons, each one redeemable for a free DS game, used or new, to anyone who picks up a Nintendo DS Lite in-store.

Cashing in those coupons is where this bargain starts to get complicated, however. One of them can only be exchanged during the month of December, whereas the other is only valid during January. Also, the game is only free if its value is $29.99 or less. Any more than that, and the coupons will just subtract $29.99 from its list price. This sounds way more elaborate than it needs to be, but knowing the ridiculous lengths that gamers often go to for free stuff, we're sure that some of you will still take advantage of the sale.

GameStop selling used DS Lites at a decent price

Posted Sep 17th 2007 11:20AM by Eric Caoili
Filed under: Sales

GameStop usually sells its used DS Lites for $119.99, only ten dollars less than how much a new system goes for -- might as well buy a new one at that price, right? But for the next week, the video game retailer will be offering the preowned handhelds for only $99.99, provided that you present the above coupon. That sounds a lot more reasonable!

Just cross your fingers and hope that your console's previous owner treated it a lot better than these guys did with theirs.

Save $5 on overpriced used games at EB/GS

Posted Jul 13th 2007 11:30AM by Eric Caoili
Filed under: Sales

We've always thought that GameStop and EB Games's used titles were, at the very least, $5 too expensive, especially when you consider the pittance they reward you with for trading in your games, old or new. The thrifty among you will find some solace in this coupon that both companies sent out last night, enticing you to "Save $5 when you buy any used DS game priced $14.99 or higher."

You'll have a better selection picking out your game from the stores' shelves, but the coupon code, "EBC3002763," should also work with online purchases. If you head to their "Used Games" pages now, you might be able to scavenge preplayed titles like Elite Beat Agents and Resident Evil: Deadly Silence before the wolves descend upon them and tear their availability from your grip. Check past the post break for the coupon.
