    What is the cheapest price that you have been able to find for Xbox 360 and PS3 games?

    I bought APF 2k8 for around $4.99... it's currently $1.99-2.99. That's a used price, new wise Duke Nukem Forever at $4.99 new... might of been on sale though.

    The original Xbox, Gamecube and Ps2 are mostly the cheapest these days. Older generations the stuff can be harder to find so little more expensive. The Wii is actually still quite pricey as despite the Wii U now being out the console is still in production.

    Wii games have been priced at $50 vs $60 for 360 and Ps3 titles. 3rd party Wii titles tend to drop pretty fast... they tend to be pretty bad too.... but first party Nintendo titles hold value vary well as Nintendo likes to keep a slightly premium price on it's games. For example Mario Kart Wii released in 2008 at $50, it's only dropped to $40 in the 4 years since it's release, Mario Kart DS released in 2005, 7 years later it's still $35... $5 more than most DS games and only $5 less than new release 3DS games.

    I'd assume by old models you mean Ps2 and original Xbox? Both the Ps3 and 360 have had multiple models themselves so saying old models of Ps3 and Xbox means something completely different than the Ps2 and original Xbox, just so you are aware.

    The topic says games so I'm talking about games not consoles :)

    Generally used games can be found at a cheap price, but it varies from store to store and it depends on the condition of the game. I find better luck at a used bookstore or a garage sale than at GameStop (and I think GameStop overprices used games). Since PS3 is backwards compatible with PS2, I think there's better luck with PlayStation games. Generally less common games would be the cheapest, while popular games (GTA, Final Fantasy, etc.) will cost a bit more, but I think that depends on how much demand there is.
