No bank robbing necessary, its the cag way of life and some good luck here and there. Honestly didn't spend that much, between pricematching other stores and a small amount of flipping it has allowed me to get some things I wouldn't normally be able to. The only games I payed full price for were Assassins Creed, Skyrim CE, Metal Gear Solid Collection LE.
Hell I don't even have a good job and work like 12 hours a week.
Just to break down a deal I partook in.
Lego Harry Potter 5-7 pricematched 29.99 (Walmart toybook)
Harry Potter 7 Part 1 $22.99
Harry Potter 7 Part 2 $22.99
Purchase all three save $20 on Lego Harry Potter game so I saved another $20 on top of the PM.
Then there was a deal for buying 2 or more 3d blurays and get $10 off.
So for $49.97 I got 2 movies and a game.
Another would be the halo 10th anniversary edition
Preordered both copies at the M$ store get $5 off the game, go to the midnight release and you get a $25 gift card for each game's purchase.
So $34.99 for each copy along with a grunt plush and $25 giftcard.
