The Gaming Recession
First of I want everyone to check out my website http://www.maxatplay.com
Now on to the nitty-gritty. I’m sure everyone, everywhere is feeling the bite of the economy right about now. I too am no stranger to hard times. There are so many games I want to pick up that are just outside my budget. Borderlands, Halo 3 ODST, and soon to be released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It’s hard to shell out $60 for a brand new game especially if all you have is $50 and you still need to feed yourself. Well I’m dedicated to my gaming lifestyle and I refuse to wait to pick up COD: Modern warfare.
To accomplish this deed I will do what most desperate gamers would do….sell off games that don’t get much play time. I’m notorious for selling a game whether I finished it or not. Its my belief if the game was really as good as they say I’d take the time to finish it. Anyway, the games on my list for sale are Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and Prototype. All of them great games with great replay value just not good enough for me to hold on to and risk not having enough for Call of Duty.
In the event that I don’t have enough to pay for my game even after all my trades, my wife and daughter will share the burden of hunger with me so daddy can have his new game. I will also try selling blood and if I really need to my hair, even though I’m already bald.
Lets start a movement! Lets lower the prices on all good video games so that my family doesn’t have to miss a meal so I can play!

Thats why you preorder games ahead of time. So you can pay little by little so you’ll have it on release day. I usually dont preorder games but I did this for modern warfare 2 since Left for Dead 2 comes out the following week.
Also what you can do is try http://www.cheapassgamer.com they always have deals posted up. At walmart they had a deal going on that if you preordered modern ware 2, they gave u a $15 gift card.
Also bestbuy always has a buy 2 get 1 free sale going on, same with gamestop. Just have 2 people go in on a game with you. 2 games plus 1 free, if u and 2 people did that, it would be 40 per person.
