Each player passes by the process of buying a new video - game play to boredom or completion and then in the next game. For some, the value of sales for less than £ 40 (~$ 60) for most new video games makes it move in the next game a difficult task, making games an expensive pastime! This article will discuss various methods of purchase getting new games available for the players and consider whether the video sharing sites represent the best value possible for a player when they move into a new video game.
Trade in video games
Trade your game at a local department store is one of the methods - this means often lose more than half the value of the game that pays first. And the local store is likely to sell their game at a price considerably higher. To the trade of value that you offer not going to get you much in the store by what still should contribute some money extra to get a new game. However, this process is comfortable and has to hand his next game as soon as you are in the store!
Advantages:
1 Convenient
2 Instant
Disadvantages:
1 Low trade in value
2. Heavy mark up by retailer means that you pay more money for the next game
Rental of video games
Join rental of games like Boomerang or Lovefilm, is another option. Normally you can pay a monthly subscription and receive a limited number of games that can keep forever and when you wish. Varies greatly the quality of those services and the main problems here are to keep a list of games you want, resulting in that you will receive once the games rental company has in stock when they receive back games. Therefore the danger here is that you cannot really get the game on the top of the list. Other disadvantages include waiting a long time for a party that wants to - or receive games that are striped to the point where your console does not play them! More importantly, sharing all that money each month and really don't have anything in the end - debatable is that it is better value on the purchase of a game, keep it until that finished with him and then the commercial once you are finished.
In addition, the value of this service varies from game to game. Some games can be completed in a few days of playing, and therefore the effective cost of this game is a fraction of the monthly subscription fee. And some matches will be played for many years, making these games through very expensive rental! So in this sense, rent has the advantage of allowing you to test a large number of games for a monthly subscription fee. If you think that the game has long-term value, then you could simply purchase the insurance game knowing that I'm going to play this game for a long time to come! But then PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 gamers can try new games by downloading them, silence here if necessary.
Another game rental option is often available in a video store. The cost of rent is usually 5% to 10% of the cost of the game for up to 7 days of play. Using a video game rental store is certainly convenient and the value of the service that depends on whether actually finish the game or decide is not yours (i.e., now most of them) before the game is later maturity.
Advantages:
1 Large collection to choose from
2 Easy get new games such as completing the ancient
3 You will get treated a large number of games for a nominal subscription fee.
Disadvantages:
1 You can not get the game you want
2 Could be waiting a long time for the games according to the level of stocks of the companies of rent
3. You really have nothing in the end
The sale of its video games
Another route is simply selling video games. One of the most convenient to sell forms is by auction its stake in eBay or TheGameCollective. If the game is a recent and popular, probably get a good price - potentially much more than what you would pay a local store and everything had to do was to wait a few days more for the auction complete and send your game for the post. A little less convenient than a local store, but for many the additional value in the video game is worth.
The draw back here is that eBay will be a reduction of the final selling price currently 8.25% of the final fee and if you accept payments through PayPal, you will have to pay an additional fee (~ 4%), which represents a loss of up to 12% of the final price (unless you are cunning and build this on p & p price - but that's a nightmare for many!).
Advantages:
1 You can get a good price for your game
2. Quite comfortable
Disadvantages:
1 You must wait several days for sale to agree
2. The Commission on the final sale price
Exchange of video games
Exchange of video games through a game online exchange network is another method. These sites include TheGameCollective, gamejam or hitflip and paying a small/non-these sites allow players swaps of agreement and then Exchange addresses and their parties each other by mail. This service provides players the chance to play new video games to above the cost of a game of counting. So in this sense, the game of Exchange option offers great potential for the conscious value gamer.
Game sharing is not currently widely adopted and so unless an Exchange site game experiences a traffic heavy a player may have to wait a bit more to get the exchange of video games they want to. This could take a short according to popularity of the game and the exchange of game so in this sense it is not as convenient as, say, trade. But as exchange of game becomes more popular, establishing the process of moving towards new video games to become a value experience much better.
Advantages:
1 Can be obtained at the cost of a set of mail
2 Easy get new games such as completing the ancient
Disadvantages:
1. You may need to wait a long time to find another player willing to Exchange
