Bethesda Games Not Worth Buying Secondhand

A new report by videogamepricecharts.com shows that in 2008 titles published by Bethesda held their value highest once banished to the pre-owned bins at your local game emporiums. The report shows only a 12.5% change from MSRP to the prince a resale game would be sold to a customer. Given that Fallout 3 featured in many Sale offers such a difference would render the purchase of a second-hand copy pretty much pointless.

According to the list, shown below, Nintendo came up second with Rock Band publisher MTV Games coming up third.

You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers. That's what I'll be shooting you in the ass with if you try to take my copy of Fallout 3 Collector's Edition.

It was an odd one this last Christmas as in the Game shops Fallout 3 collectors edition was going for less money than a second hand normal copy. I could not get my head round it.

GAME and Gamestation were doing some really great deals at Christmas. The secondhand thing seems to be dieing down on the new platforms. When the PS2 was king these shops were just jumble sales.

Fallout 3 is too new. Check out the prices on used copies of Oblivion or Morrowind.

Check out new prices of Oblivion. I think retailers are actually getting better at discounting old titles.

My wife has told me that: "Somthing is broken inside my head." (Her words ) I just for the life of me can't get into Fallout 3, I loved FO 1 & 2 But even forcing myself to play the game...it just isn't there.
