Yes, I've turned into a consolefag. Or not. It's actually GF, she bought herself a 2DS and I'm looking for some online place where to buy games (either new or used) from, at reasonable price (I refuse to pay the full "RRP" price for that kind of shit, which usually is between 40 and 60€ for games with graphics dating back to 1999 and gameplay stuck in 1985).

So, can those of you with kids, or with a DS of their own, give me a hint? It's a world entirely unknown to me, and I dunno even know where to start from (tried amazon and ebay, but the prices are killer there too, even on used stuff).

Remeber guys:

Well, local Gamestop or your country equivalent surely got a xmas sale now. I pick up used games for my kid, usually 5-10 euros a pop and use that pick 3 pay for 2 deal.

Anything online (I'm n ot really bound by the xmas deadline, I got gifts for that one sorted out already)? I usually lock myself in and board the windows during the festive period, thus avoiding having to kill lots of retards.

For this, I'm afraid you'll have to leave the house. I doubt there's a Gamestop megacenter where they send all used games to sell them again online. Ebay maybe?

Yeah, eBay seems like reasonable place. Nothing in the local though in my case...

I always use my trusty R4 3DS™ to play backups of my legally owned games. I just don't want to risk scratching the discs.

It's also great for running homebrew stuff like DSx86 and ScummVM :neveraskedforthis:

in sweden, almost every gamestore stocks around 90% used games (the turnaround is a lot better I guess) with the remaining 10% being the Latest Shit.
so an idea could be to just visit your nearest gamestop.

Stores that sell used stuff indiscriminately (movies, books etc) tend to be better, since they don't price games any differently and sell sports games for the same price as RPGs.

This thread is unreal, or more specifically, this Jools fellow is unreal. "Hur I don't want to spend money but I don't want to pirate. Spoonfeed me codex! Btw I'm sooo contrarian!" Anyway, the cheapest place without scumming around eBay or local flea market shitshows is Amazon. Here are some examples of good games for the platform so you can pretend to your girlfriend you have taste.


http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Trick-Phantom-Detective-Nintendo-DS/dp/B002TDIEDG Top tier adventure/'puzzle' game that's very charming and incredibly underrated.

http://www.amazon.com/9-Hours-Persons-Doors-Nintendo-DS/dp/B003VR5PPY/ I'm presuming you have a semitarded weaboo girlfriend since she's an adult who wants a 2DS. This is another adventure title, but it's more gritty and a little less accessible than Ghost Trick. Features some pretty insane puzzles later on, and some ridiculous plot twists.

http://www.amazon.com/Shin-Megami-Tensei-IV-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00C1ZBFTW/ If you want to monocle your gf, here is a title that is probably too advanced for you since it features gameplay stuck in the 90's. It's also the easiest non-persona SMT game from all accounts.


if you need some non adventure/rpg games, then here's some decent choices:

http://www.amazon.com/Kirby-Super-Star-Ultra-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001C58T5U - obviously buy it "used"
http://www.amazon.com/Castlevania-Order-Ecclesia-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001CU4EJ0/ - haven't personally played it, but I've heard it's comprable in quality (or better) to SotN


There, 5 good games that are all pretty cheap, so you can stop being a contrarian faggot. If those don't fit the bill, then tell me what kind of games your waifu likes and I'll try to find something.
