I was a bit late to the XBOX game, purchasing the system in May - so I have quite a backlog of games to go through. I never buy new games, as I have often been disappointed when that new game stinks after plopping down $60. I primarily buy at amazon.com. Occasionally Blockbuster will clear out their stock of games by selling them and I get them cheap there...but I'm limited to whatever they are selling. I tried the Ebay route, but got tired of waiting 7 days for the auction to end only to have the last 2 minutes of the auction drive the price up.
Gamestop has been consistently higher in price for the used games, usually by about $10 or more vs. Amazon. The advantage to Gamestop is the 7 day warranty. With Amazon, you can return for a refund less shipping (and occasionally a restock fee) or if the disc is different or unplayable, you can put in a claim and get a full refund.
I'm currently playing Oblivion ($18 from Amazon), Star Wars Lego Complete Saga ($9 from Amazon) and Baldur's Gate ($8 from Amazon). Just finished HALO ($4 from Amazon).
