When I was young, before before we had Internet access I used to buy all my PC Games from GAME as this was the only shop near me that sold Video Games. However with access to the Internet you don’t have to live anywhere near a shop that sells games in order to buy them. When I used to buy PC Games from GAME the price was around £30-£35 however with people using the Internet to access not just one but hundreds of shops all selling the same game it means there is excellent competition which drives those prices down.
However the problem is finding who is cheapest! Even though we are sitting down typing a few words into the browser, we humans are still lazy and usually unless the item we are buying is very expensive, we buy the product from the first perhaps second website we come across.
There are compare price websites out there for most things now, I mentioned several just for Car Insurance in my “Car Insurance” Post I made on 18th May 2009. There’s Food Compare websites, Electricity, Broadband, you name it there’s probably a comparison website out there.
Well a year or two ago a friend of mine showed me GamesTracker. This website is the best Game Price Comparison website I have come across and has saved me a small fortune. GamesTracker compares prices from many websites, including Amazon, Play, HMV, Asda, GAME, Tesco, Games Station, Simply Games, and lots more.
GamesTracker also stores prices for New and Used and even Downloadable games for all the major Platforms like PC, PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, DS, PSP, PS2, XBOX, and GBA. The website is really simple too use and you don’t have to register which is always a plus. The prices are listed clearly and even show you the Postage and Packing Prices aswell. In the above example I looked searched for inFamous a fairly new arrival to the PS3. The site showed me that in the UK Toys R Us are selling the game for £44.94 inc P&P but Powerplay Direct are selling it for £34.98 thats nearly a saving of £10 instantly!
Overall in these times when most people are having to be careful with there spending GamesTracker is one of the best ways I believe you can save money, on video games anyway.
Ill be giving posting some more “moneysaving” tips soon so keep checking the blog!
