We always knew that games depreciated at ludicrous rates, but seeing the figures in cold, hard, four-color line graph puts that depreciation into perspective. Tracking games released in October and November of 2006, 2004, 2002, and 2000, Used Video Game Pricing found that the greatest culprits are the more recent, 2006 titles. While year 2000 games only saw a 20% fall off, 2006 titles have fallen to that whopping 60% figure we put in the headline, or from $42.08 to $28.66. But there's good news!
To those who are willing to wait 8 months to get the newest titles, you will see the cheapest games in recent history—as well as unlimited free frags the first time you try multiplayer 8 months behind the pack. Who says that glass if half-empty?
