By definition, it seems, used video games are cheaper than the new ones sitting on the shelves at the store. This is doubly true when you are buying games for used and older consoles.
You know that these games are going to be cheaper, but how much cheaper? How much money will you have to spend on used video games? Imagine you went online with some cash, how many games would you be able to buy?
The amount you will spend varies based on the type of system you want to buy games for. If you want a popular game on a relatively new system, then you will be spending more.
If you are looking at a used
Super Nintendo system with some of the classic games like Super Mario and Donkey Kong, then you are going to be paying a lot more (up to $35). But those games are at the very peak of demand. Most other games will be just a few dollars for the Super Nintendo system.
When it comes to the
Nintendo 64 , there will be many cheap games but, like the Super Nintendo, the classic Mario games, like Mario Kart 64, will be higher priced. There are so many titles available for the Nintendo 64 that you can build up a solid collection for not a lot of money.
The Gamecube system has games that cost a bit more than others, including some of the popular Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog series, but the used games are still below the cost of a new game and a majority of the games for the whole Gamecube system remain very inexpensive.
If you are looking at the Gameboy Advance system, you can get many games for fewer than twenty dollars. This is a good deal giving the continuing popularity of new Gameboy systems. Classic Gameboy games like James Pond have really had their prices slashed.
The biggest bargain of all is the Sega Genesis system and its games. Twenty dollars will go far when you are buying Sega games. Among the games you can get are some impressive movie tie-ins, like Alien 3. The games are only a few dollars a piece.
The used games that you look at so have a scale of prices the rare ones are more expensive than the common ones. They will also differ depending on the system they play on. You will have to investigate each one.
But when you look at the bottom line of your budget, you will see that the money you spend on games will certainly stretch compared to buying new games and a new system.
