How gamers can score discounts
Today's gamers always are looking to score a discount. It ain't easy. The used games aisle and bargain racks are full of outdated titles and equipment.
If you're more of an online shopper, you might want to sign up for a membership with the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA). The non-profit advocacy organization is offering a 10% discount on all games-related software and peripherals at Amazon. The membership fee is $19.99 ($14.99 for e-mails ending in .edu or .mil), which means if you buy just a few games a year, you've already earned your money back.
Find out how you can save 10% off video games and peripherals.

Members get discounts from retailers (Good Old Games) and video game rental services (GameFly), money off admission to events (the Penny Arcade Expo), not to mention room rate discounts at Hyatt hotels.
Your ECA enrollment also includes an e-newsletter and access to a games job board (available to non-members as well).
Sign up at ECA's website (theeca.com), then go to the membership benefits section to get your Amazon discount code, and start shopping.
Who doesn't love more games for their buck?
