Recession Gaming

By Joe Allsopp

The recession is affecting many industries throughout the world and not least the video game industry. Video game companies are in the process of raising the price of many video games. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a great example of higher pricing, with its average pre-order price around 45.

With so many online stores to buy video games from, it can be quite a time consuming process in checking each ones prices. An online service called CheapAssGamer resolves this problem by updating its users with the latest deal on all video games.

It's worth checking out if the game you are planning to buy is actually worth buying. Checking out a few reviews on the game you're looking to purchase should help. Reputable review sites such as, GamerHome.co.uk, Gamespot.com and Metacritic.com are recommended choices.

Get cash back on your purchases. QuidCo.com offers cash back from many online retailers, giving you a certain percentage of the sale. The site is very efficient and can save users a lot of money on purchases.

Promo codes can be obtained for many retailers. Promo codes are promotional discount codes, which retailers give out when they have a promotion on. Regular discount codes include 5 off your first purchase, free delivery, 10-15% off and money off you next purchase. MyVoucherCodes.co.uk is a good site which allows users to find the latest promo codes for most online stores.

LoveFilm and many other rental companies offer a video game rental service. Why buy a game that you might noy enjoy playing and waste 40? Rent before you buy.

Check on eBay in the video game section. List the prices from high to low, go to the price range you are looking to pay and see if anyone is selling at that price. It's not hard to pick up a bargain on eBay.

Combing all of these recession gaming tips could literally save you 20 or more per purchase.
