Yeah those are the one's that customers only traded in the disc...Otherwise I only purchase the ones in real Xbox Cases...Majority are mint condition..

I'm 28 for 28 on perfect copies so far..

No? The Best Buy near me are all yellow tinted cases, with no manuals, and a piece of paper printed for a cover...

Also, just to put my two cents in... I don't purchase pre-owned games from Gamestop or Best Buy. For a couple of reasons... #1 They are a rip off, I can buy the same exact game off Amazon cheaper, ALWAYS. #2 I don't feel like paying 40$ for a used game when they only gave somebody 8$ for it. #3 I'd rather support the game companies that make the games instead of giving Gamestop/Best Buy pure profit on used games.

Sorry you have such a crappy Best Buy man...too bad...I support your opinion on why you don't buy used that your prorogative!

But obviously you don't know that I've bought new before and then sold my collection to pay bills. Won't buy them new twice unless the price is right. I buy new and used, ask Skyboxer put I usually buy new if on sale or if they have a collector's edition that I've reserved, like all the Halo games, Skyrim, Battlefield, NBA 2k10 with locker, etc.

2nd not all games on amazon are cheaper...I got all Madden's today from the buy 2 get 1 and the most I paid was 12 bucks for Madden 11.

They didn't have any Madden NFL 12 used yet...but it's next...not to mention in cases and mint condition books and all..

I would post a picture, but don't want my post to get flagged from mods for spam.

Yean except for a select few games, its used for me. I could give a rats *** what they paid someone when they were traded in. Its not like anyone is forced to trade them in. They have costs associated with repackaging, disk cleaning/refurb etc etc....
What matters to me is I'm getiing a game cheaper.
Also our Best buy has full cases and manuals for the most part.

Yeah Best Buy is the first store I've seen have mint condition used games on every purchase...that's a first in years.

And so far haven't gotten a bad one yet...
