80 dollars damn! I live in the UK and I would be VERY reluctant to spend more than £50 on a game. I like buying new but I rarely buy new games shortly after they come out. I usually get new copies years down the line, so they're still factory sealed and in best condition but they cost like half the price or whatever. I only buy day 1 or close to release on occasion, for example the Bloodborne release. Don't plan on doing that again for a while! Games lower in price so much. Except Nintendo games..
GAME prices are a joke. Go into a store and you'll probably find preowned games that was priced the same as, or more expensive than, brand new ones. They really need to check their stock and keep prices up to date <_<.
You don't have access to this shop?
Depending on the game, waiting several years for a price cut seems daunting so I only resort to buying new if it's a game that has been on my wishlist for about a year or so, or ever since the initial announcement. It's definitely harder for Canadians to reluctantly shell out $80 for one game...-sigh- Such is life.

It should be a Canadian store.
I found many good deals here even considering shipping to Europe.
I might have already asked but... are you actually immensely rich? xDI stick with Gamestop for most of my purchases. I prefer to always have a hard copy of a game instead of it seems the more prefer digital age we live in now. As far as how much I prefer or will pay for my games, I normally always Preorder my games a month before their released and enough information has been leaked on them. I also always go after Deluxe, Limited, Ultimate & Day One Editions. I haven't bought a used game in quite a few years, most likely since I was in high school and couldn't afford other wise. The most I have paid for a preordered Deluxe, Limited, Ultimate or Day One Edition has been 250 dollars. The least I normally pay for my games are 100-120 dollars with the exception of Pokemon games for nintendo which are always cheap and never have special editions for more. Most money I have spent on games in a 30 day time period has been a little over 1,000 dollars back in winter of last year when their were quite a few games coming out I wanted. i never shop to try to get a deal or question or look over prices for games. I just go for the titles I want at the same store I always go to and go for the most expensive copy they have with the most amount of extra content/features.
I would say Amazon is not the best you can find...
I would mainly buy my games straight from EB Games or Amazon, never ventured into stores like these, but thanks for the information! c:

I see, that explains things.I wish but no. It may seem like it due to the things I can afford. Might want to check out my member encyclopedia https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=318025

Even eBay would be better xD
I've found Amazon prices pretty high even for used copies.
So I'm sure the provided link will be useful for you =D
Amazon students? 2-day shipping? What kind of sorcery is that? xD
Amazon is mainly for convenience and impulsive buys, haha. Taking advantage of that 2-day shipping for Amazon students.
I've never got any used copy without manuals :DI actually prefer to buy games used because they always work fine for me, and even if it's missing the manual, you can look stuff up online. It's cheaper, and works great, so I don't have an issue with it.
