Well times are tough, and for us teens out there its not as easy to ask mom for a $60 game nowadays, so it's been hard. I was wondering , what things have you done or given up to be able to afford this years biggest holiday games (Fallout 3, Fable II, Gears 2, Far Cry 2)?

Personally, I've been black-marketing my used games at school :P
I've gotten a few games I need to turn into cash, and Gamestop just wasn't cutting it. ($5 for Mass Effect? Give me a break)
so I've made a sale sign with games on it for sale. I'm trying to sell Assassin's Creed w/ a guidebook included for $20 as well as Mass Effect for $20. Some of my friends are buying and I'm doing whatever it takes to get about $70 by next week haha.

So what are you doing (besides working at your regular job, if you have one.)

just a suggestion. craigslist. If you want to sell your old games try it there. You will get more money for it.

Nothing other than my normal job it pays well enough to cover my bills, video gaming and leaves me with a bit left over to save.

Basically my normal jobs. I have three jobs, you see. I clean some offices every evening and do cleaning with my sister once a week. Then I also work part time at a local Gamestation. Which is great as I get 25% discount off of video games. So I think I'll be fine in affording the new games.

Do you live in Missouri? Do you have those big greenish/yellowish balls that fall out the trees about 4-5 times the size of a walnut?

Too bad there's nothing orange about it.

It's just the nickname but those weird looking things grow in my neighborhood.

He should go pick those up if he lives in Missouri. They are easier to find and could get more money for each than walnuts.
