Buy a console, get 5 pre-owned video games for $50
The average person’s video game library is worth a small fortune, considering the fact that titles typically sell for $60 apiece. It’s been that way since forever, no matter what kind of system you play on, thanks to some semi-complicated manufacturer logic that essentially boils down to consumer expectation.
That cost can be a huge barrier to entry for new gamers: On top of shelling out a couple hundred dollars for a console, accessories, and multiplayer subscriptions, you’re going to be forking over a decent chunk of dough for the games themselves, too. (In other words, don’t get too attached to the $1,200 coronavirus relief payment that just landed in your bank account.)

Fortunately for all you n00bs out there, GameStop is currently running a stellar deal geared toward anyone who’s starting their gaming career from scratch: As of April 21, anyone who orders a new or gently used Xbox or Playstation console from its website can bundle five pre-owned video games valued at $19.99 or less for $50 altogether.
We’re talking games like The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto V, God of War, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Far Cry 5 — cult-favorite, critically acclaimed titles that hold up incredibly even several years post-release. So long as a pre-owned copy is listed at $19.99 or less on GameStop’s website, it counts as part of the five-for-$50 bundle.
System-wise, you can choose from an Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, or PS4 console *or* a console bundle, like this three-game Xbox One S bundle or this limited-edition PS4 Pro Death Stranding bundle. (Translation: You’ve got options to get even more games for cheap on top of the five-for-$50 sitch.)
