The one thing I hate about buying used games is they sometimes do not come with the case. I really don't like the games not coming with the original case because of collection purposes. I was looking for some games for the ps2 that I probably should have gotten a while ago, I just never got around to it, or I plain forgot. I wanted to pick up Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank (the first in each series). I kinda neglected my ps2 a tad (hell and my xbox bit too), because I have mainly been playing just one game (City of Heroes/Villains) for pretty much the past 3 years (jeeze has it really been that long?) So, anyway, it just irks me when they don't have the original cases, I really don't want those generic dvd cases that they attempt to give you, with someone's crappy handwriting in black Sharpie. Or not even having one of those at all, just a crappy cardboard CD holder. I know half of those games people traded in traded them in with the original casieng, what's the deal? Ah well..
I would try ebay for some games, but a lot of times people want to gouge you for shipping and handling, yeah, I am not going to buy a game where the Shipping and Handling actually costs MORE than the game itself!. And god only knows what type of condition they might even be in. (Though I did actually find Jak 1 for about 3 bucks, with 2.50 shipping and handling, which is about the same price as EB/GS, but it comes with case and manual =D) ETA : I won the auction for Jak, 3.25 for the game, 2.50 for the shipping, woot!
On a sidenote, I did find MGS : 3 for 10 bucks, with the case, so score on that one.
