I'll be honest, I love games, in fact if I could and I didn't have to work, I would probably spend a good chunk of my time on my video game console, playing games! I have always been interested in gaming consoles ever since I got my Nintendo when I was just 8 years old. But after my first Nintendo I didn't really go any further with the whole Nintendo trilogy of Super Nintendo and Game Cube. Instead, I went right to Sony, and then even after I got my first PS1, I didn't further my discovery of any of the other Playstations. The one gaming console I did buy the first and second "edition" of was Xbox. I absolutely love both of my Xbox's and I still have both of them. I think Microsoft did a superb job with the Xbox. Not only are the games incredibly cool, and the console itself awesome, but the quality of the graphics is just impossible to beat!



The only problem I had with buying the Xbox 360 was that it was so expensive! I only wish I knew about these places online called cheap or discount sites. These websites offer a multitude of the same games, consoles, and accessories that sites like Circuit City, Best Buy and Game Stop offer but at the fraction of the price! Don't get me wrong I love Best Buy and Game Stop but unless you catch them having an actual sale you can expect to still pay a pretty penny for these games, consoles and accessories! Most of these discount sites are based in the UK, Germany or Japan, but even with the local currency those countries use, you can still expect it to beat the prices in USD that are US based. Just for fun I found a few comparisons online between UK discount sites and US retail sites. All these prices are converted to USD just so you can see a clear price differences:

Xbox 360 Console

Retail $400

Discount $258

Wii Nunchuk Controller

Retail $20

Discount $16

Xbox Project Gotham Racing 4

Retail $40

Discount $19

Even when it's only a few bucks you're saving, it's still a few bucks you are saving! I don't know about you, but I'm all about having the newest, coolest gadgets, but if possible I will find the best price before spending X amount of dollars, it doesn't matter if it's a gaming console, a watch, or a computer. If you want to save yourself some serious money, I suggest you taking a good hard long look at these UK based discount websites! You are seriously going to get more bang for your buck. Just think instead of buying one game for $40 you could potentially buy almost 3 games at these UK discount sites for just over $40. How about that! Go check them out, you will not be disappointed!
