Interested on opinions and what to look for on the used side. Just got a xb(3)1 and a ps4 so looking to grab some extra controllers and games.

I mostly buy my stuff new but some games I bought used were from EBGames/Gamestop. I just ask to check the disk before buying it used so I don't get a scratched one.

As for controllers, I think they sell used ones too but not sure and I never bought a used controller in the past, only new ones.

I'm not really helping you on this one lol, but congrats on the new consoles! Both are great!

Best Buy's GCU kills buying used for me. A game is cheaper with the 20% off new games than the 10% off a cheaper used game, in lots of cases. That, and many of those newer games have $10 rewards when you pre-order, so new really ends up cheaper than used for me.

Unless I feel I've missed out on an older titles and there's a B2G1 free used sale, I pretty much just get new games at launch, then trade them in when I'm done.
