We're not sure we support the headline but a site that watches prices on used games certainly does. The folks over at Videogamepricecharts.com track sites like eBay, Amazon and others to keep tabs on used game prices. From this they put together a nifty chart like the one on the right. What this chart is showing us is that year-over-year average price has declined from 2007-2008.

There are a lot more factors to consider such as new titles coming out, age of systems and games on the market, etc. Still, a casual glance at the chart and the time-frame does seem to coincide with the sub-prime meltdown the U.S. and the broader world economies are dealing with.

One thing we can agree with, according to the data, if you're in the market to buy used games, November is a pretty good month to do it.
