The last few generations I saved a ton of money by reselling games on ebay. You were able to capture a lot more money back versus trading them in to retail stores. All it took was a box of envelopes that fit a DVD case and an occasional trip to the post office...which is a couple blocks walk from my office so I did it at lunch. I kept a chart of the games I bought and sold and I think I averaged a little over $10 per game once everything was said and done.
When they announced a lot of the anti-used game policies for this generation I nearly flipped my s***. I was pissed because it would mean I would get to play a lot less games. When they changed the policy I still swore I would buy only disc copies of games so I could resell them. Flash forward to now and I haven't purchased a single game on disc. The wife was pissed when I bought the system so not having boxes arriving at the house is a good thing...lol...even though I've gone to digital, for the most part I'm buying games on sale for cheap.....the only game I've paid full retail for at this point is FIFA 15.....and I've easily gotten my $60 worth out of that game already. I initially paid $60 for Halo MCC but I returned it for a refund and rebought it today for $35.
