Buy 2 Get 1 Free On Used Games At GameStop This Weekend
Gamers on a budget may want to stop by GameStop or EBGames this weekend, as they're offering a special deal on used games: buy any two, and get one (of equal or lesser value) free. The sale should be going on now and runs through Sunday, 4/26. If you can't make it out to a store, or nothing in the local inventory catches your eye, the sale also applies to online orders. Just check out three eligible games from their website and use the code "BUY2GET1" at checkout. If you've got an EDGE card you also get an additional 10% off.
The sale also applies to used accessories, but for some reason that strikes me as a little less savory. Maybe I'm oversensitive, but I'd rather have a fresh, factory sealed controller than one somebody's pawed on and sweated over already. Perhaps the right price (and about a gallon of Purell) would change my mind, though.

If it makes you feel any better, most of the used controllers were probably stolen so they work like new.
For those who don't know, Gamestop is also offering an additional 10, 20, and 30 % store credit for 3, 4, and 5 trade-ins, respectively.
Ends on the 26th.
Just to comment on the used controller situation, Dawdle... I work at a Gamestop and I'D never buy one of our used controllers.
See, a controller gets traded in, and then one of us has to spend a bunch of time getting what we affectionately call "People Dust" our of all the cracks and crevices. This usually involves the help of a toothpick, firm-bristle toothbrush, or box cutter.
Our store is the only one in the district that actually *does* this.
In summation, don't buy used controllers. It's not worth the horror of your pristine white 360 controller being DARK BROWN around the edges. *shudder*
