Deal Of The Week: GameFly Blowout Sale

Crying Kid Over Used Games

Most of us out there are trying to save up all of our clams and change we find in the couch cushions trying to get our hands on this year’s biggest titles.  $60 bucks for a brand new title is a big chunk of change to swallow for most gamers, so I bring a little breathing room for all of you guys and gals.  This might just be what you Loot Ninja gamers need to hold you over until the mass hysteria of Black Friday and Christmas shopping.

GameFly is doing a $20 dollar and below blowout sale on a select list of pre-played games.  This offer does include free shipping and handling, as well as the 100% GameFly guarantee that the games have been pre-inspected and come with the actual case and a “like new” manual.  Read the list of games and more after the jump.
