Only buy games you absolutely must have at $59.99. I've bought so many games at $59.99 to only see them drop $20 2-3 weeks later.

This Christmas was especially bad at that. Good if you don't run out and buy immediately bad if you do.

Yup! CAG, Amazon, Slickdeals, etc, saved me a load of cash this year. I got a bunch of stuff from Amazon, Blockbuster, and Gamefly for insanely cheap.

Create a program that steals just pennies a day from a large corporation, then have the program distribute those pennies into a bank account. Accidentally misplace a decimal point in your program so it ends up being a few hundred thousand in a week or so. Try to figure out how to launder the money, but ultimately just have some guy with thick glasses and a funny dialect go in and look for his stapler and burn the place down in the process. Problem solved.

I recently got CoD: World at War for $34.99 with no charge for shipping from the Amazon store. Must have been an error on their part cause later that same day, the price was corrected to $59.99. :)

Trade in games. I just traded in Gears 2 today to help pay for Killzone 2 in February. I dont particularly like trading in games, but sometimes it helps. Only games I want to get in the foreseeable future is Killzone 2 and Infamous. I've really got to cut back on buying games man. Next thing possibly on the chopping block for trade-in: My PSP. :(

Not to mention, you'll probably be persecuted by a (Mike) Judge in court.

I saw CoD:WaW for 26.99 new for PC one day from one of the other retailers on amazon.com. I bought it like a week before that from amazon for 29.99.
