The difference in price between a hot new release and a game that's been around a couple months can be huge (say $70 versus $30). The longer you can wait, the lower the price, so try to be patient. In addition to the substantially better price, you might also get a better product: later editions of a game tend to have less bugs because developers have had more time to fix them.

For other types of electronics, buying used will save you money, but it may or may not be the way you want to go. For video games, though: we swear by it. If you buy a "pre-owned" game from a larger retailer such as GameStop or Amazon, it will be guaranteed to work just like new and it can save you from around $10 per game to as much as 50% off the new price. Even for hot new releases this can work, provided you wait about a week after it first comes out. You can also buy used games from places like eBay and craigslist. Although the reliability isn't guaranteed, you can usually still find quality games at cheap prices.

Renting video games before buying is a great way to test them out. If you just can't get enough, and end up renting the same game over and over again, it's a good sign that you should buy it.

If you just can't get enough, and end up renting the same game over and over again, it's a good sign that you should buy it. Plus, games that have been on the market for a while tend to be cheaper, so waiting a while will pay off. For games that have a free demo, always play that first before buying. It will give you an idea what the game is like to see if you are really interested.

With doorbusters online you need to buy fast to get in before the inventory runs out. Save time by filling your online shopping cart in advance of the sale, and setting up an account with your address & payment info. If you can't add the item to your cart, trying creating a shopping list instead. Check back in once the sale goes live, and the prices should update automatically. Now you can checkout in the virtual express lane!
Filling your cart is also a great way to find sales you might not have even known about. Add any items you have your eye on, then see if the price changes in your favor!
Tip #2: Don't forget cash back & coupons!
In the mad rush to visit each online stores, you might leave some easy cash on the table. Before you visit the site, use one of these links to access your stores. You'll still get all of the same deals, plus a bonus cash back rebate automatically posted to your Ebates account after you purchase.

Tip #3: Sign up for alerts!
One great way to find out when your treasured item is online and ready for purchase is to setup an email alert (you can find a link on individual product pages of many online stores). Sign up for alerts for all of the doorbuster and other hot deals you're after and get notified when it's available. It's not a perfect system - sometimes the alerts can be delayed by crucial minutes - but a nice alternative if you'd rather not spend hours refreshing the pages by hand!
