Second Hand Games
Games consoles can easily set you back a few hundred pounds these days, but that’s not the only expense that gamers have to deal with. Games are also really expensive, many of which can cost in or around £50! This might not sound like too much at first, but if there are a few games that you want to buy you could end up spending a few hundred pounds which is around the same price as the console itself. However, if you want to save money you’ve got a few choices. The first thing that you could do is go in to a retail shop that sells pre-owned games and buy some there. That’s not the best thing to do though, since these shops obviously want to make a nice profit so they can charge a lot even for second hand games.

Instead, you should look online for people who are trying to sell their second hand games. The majority of these people just want to get rid of a game that they’ll never play again so they’re just happy with getting something for them. You might not think that there’s a lot of choice of used games online, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there’s more choice online than in retail stores. You can easily find some games that are near impossible to buy in a shop, as well as finding all the other games which are more common.
No matter what console you have, whether it’s a PS3 or a Nintendo Ds, you’ll be able to find second hand games for it without too much trouble. So, save yourself some money and stop buying brand new or even second hand games in retail shops in the UK!
