3 reasons why I still buy pre-owned games

I know many people look at those who buy pre-owned games as weirdos, I know because I’ve seen those stares. I walk past a queue of kids holding the latest game in one hand and their mum’s hand in the other, as they’re not old enough to buy it in the first place. Let me tell you three reasons why I still buy pre-owned games.

They’re cheap

Don’t think I need to say anymore on this one.

I’m not with the times

I’m no longer at an age where I care about buying the latest releases. I’m slower, I play games less frequently and I can pick up a pre-owned copy of a game that’s several months old for £20. All I need to do is stay patient.

They work 99% of the time

I can’t say I’ve had any major problems with buying pre-owned games, so really what’s the point in a new one? Is it the plastic cover? I just don’t get it.
