What's wrong with Walmart used games?
Their prices are pretty good for older games like Red Dead Redemption which cost $20 for the PS3 and 360 versions.
I might buy used games from Wal-Mart if they are a good deal, and they have a good return policy if I get a scratched, or cracked disc.

I don't trust that they would fully ensure they would be in good working condition.froggyboy604 said:

I think this is true for most used games where you are not sure if they are in good working condition unless Walmart has a disc scratch remover machine, and use a console or machine to test used discs to see if the disc works.Demon_Skeith said:

You get that risk with all used games that you buy. It makes sense for them to do it as it has proven to be a popular way of buying games.

I feel like gamestop would do a better job however, really though I haven't gotten a bad used game since the PS2 days.

I think most newer disc machines like game consoles, Cd players, and DVD/Blu-Ray players can still play lightly scratched disc as long as the scratches are not very deep.
I also read on a blog that newer disc are made from harder plastics which are harder to scratch.
I bought a few used Playstation 1 games from a game rental place which were lightly scratched, and they were still playable. I think as long as the top of the disc is not scratched, or damage, the disc is only lightly scratch or not scratch on the bottom, and the disc is not cracked, there is a good chance it is playable on a game console.

I remember getting a lot of PS1 and PS2 game discs used and rented that were scratched up badly. Don't see that anymore these days thanks to however they are making them.

I've seen a couple gaming stores out here, including Gamestope test the games before they purchase them. That was a while ago though, and I'm not sure how much they are able to do it anymore especially with the older games. Wal-mart I guess would be ok. I'd doubt they would be very thorough with their game inspection, but they probably will be at least somewhat careful since they will be giving out credit for it.
