But I can't really afford to pay 60 bucks. I read about gamestops trade in thing where if you trade in 2 select games you get 40 percent off. The only prob is, I have 2 of the games on the list. One of them is BF:BC2 and the other is a game my brother won't let me sell. I'm not even sure I want to trade in Battlefield. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a cheaper place to pre order games?

Unfortunately, $60 will be the price at most, if not all stores. If you have any other games you want to sell, you can sell them and use that money towards a pre order. They dont have to be part of a discount.

I used to have a lot of games, but I stupidly sold them to pay for farcry 2. That game SUCKED.

I really dont have any games I want to sell atm so im not sure.

Renting reach on gamefly will be impossible.

Sorry man, I don't think there is anywhere cheaper you could always try a free hosting site like kijiji and try to rip someone off :P Or just bring a brick to the store and throw it threw the window, and then get the game free :P

you shouldn't sale your games to gamestop lol. you need remember they need sell your game to get the money back so w/e they going sell it for they take like 30-40% off.. sale on ebay. i think i would only sell a game to gamestop if they have like a super duper sale offer if they lucky.



second you better get to work.. ask your mommy for couple bucks for washing the car or ect ect. stuff that you don't already do around the house. maybe clean side of the house or w/e


60 bucks isn't you ronly problem it's the hidden fee's that you need worry about from uncle sam Tax... young people don't always think about tax when they go in a store lol

oo even better go buy some candy bars and sell them at school... but watch out schools don't like this lol

$60 at Amazon but they give you $20 towards a future video game purchase.

Pre-ordering isn't a big deal? For a regular game (not limited edition) it's only $5 down to pre-order at Gamestop. If you want the LE then it's $10 but that's automatically deducted from the price of the game so it's not really a bad deal.

Now if you're just worried about coming up with the $60 alone to get the game, then you're in another boat. But pre-ordering is nothing.

Get a job? Mow some lawns, rake some leaves, wash some cars. Anyhting to get you money.

I'm going to be pre-ordering it because at Gamestop you get 20% off a future order. Black Opps or Fallout New Vegas perhaps?

Man EB Games is the best way to pre-order if you dont have cash at the time! Like someone said earlier just pay $5.00 to pre-order and then pay the rest when the game comes out. Simple. And definitely pre-order Reach, I did. The different editions are stupid, dont get suckered into the $80.00 one or the $140.00 one.

Well I have 51 bucks (that I can/want to use) and I'm getting a steady allowance of 10 bucks a week. I have a job which pays 15 bucks for 3 hours ($5/hr) so I guess I could afford it but I just dont want to be completely broke afterwards so thats why I asked.

if your worrying about stock, don't worry about it at all, games will rarely run out of supply, if you want overused armor, then go right ahead!

I guess thats true. For me it wouldnt be worth it. And this guy sounds like hes having trouble getting money so the $140 version would be tough to grab

My two suggestions would be either: a) Sell you're games on ebay or something else, you'll actually get something for them. or B) Get Gamefly. Sure you may not get the game right away but it only costs you like $20 to have two games out at a time.

Well I pre ordered reach, and was pleased to find out that I pay the complete price once the game comes out.

thanks for the help anyway guys.

btw: person who said to get gamefly I have gamefly and I dont want to have to wait FOREVER because most people r prob gonna keep the game for a while.

Also, my friend who doesn't have an xbox LOVES halo so I really want to play with him.
