Before video games, ghosts were thought to be inedible, a hedgehog’s speed was hardly supersonic, and plumbers proved themselves to princesses by fixing leaky faucets. Level up in a less boring world with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of used and new video games and systems at Games 4 Less.

Games 4 Less houses hundreds of new and used electronic adventures, as well as contemporary and retro video games and systems. Several times a week, new releases for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii and DS ($19.99+) invade store shelves with polygonal fanfare, and used games ($5+) search for new partners in digital derring-do backed up by a 90-day replacement warranty. Gamers step back from today’s fast-paced, overly pixelated virtual realms with a nostalgic stroll through Games 4 Less’s selection of consoles of yesteryear, replacing worn-out Ataris, lost NES consoles, or Dreamcasts that were repurposed as engines in homebrewed time machines. Newer systems, such as Wii ($149, including Mario Kart) and Xbox 360 ($199+), are also are on hand to assume their rightful places as kings of the entertainment center.

To help make shelf space at home, Games 4 Less gladly accepts trade-in offers in exchange for store credit toward games, systems, and black-market fire flowers.
