Zrooney:
I am going to scout out my local Gamestop to see what potential their dumpster has. Does anyone else have any other recommendations of where to go dumpster diving?

How about a jail cell because that's where your going if they find you!   :laugh2:

Anyway aren't they locked and why would they throw games out?
And I would just drive the streets the night when you put out stuff for garbage collection. If I can find a working 37 in. HD TV someone threw out you could find some games and anything else.

Gamestop threw out all the used DS cases and manuals, I believe... I wouldn't put much past them.

ChadTower:

It's pretty well  known that they do throw out a lot of stuff.  Most of it would be considered console SWAG, though.  Promo materials, cases/manuals, stuff like that.  Anything functional usually gets sent back to Corporate and most really good SWAG gets taken home by an employee.

I've hit up GS 15 or 20 times and only once did I find anything.  It was a decent score though, I found:

2 GS brand 360 controllers
3 Modern Warfare 2 360 controllers
1 Wii wired network adapter
2 GS brand PS2 racing wheels
1 PS3 Move controller (the one without the ball thingy)
1 PS3 BluRay remote
1 360 power supply
probably a couple other things I'm forgetting

All the controllers' cords were cut but that is an easy fix when the cut is close to the controller.
I fixed a few things, sold a few things and threw a couple away that I had no use for and wasn't selling.

I don't go diving often but when I do, I'll continue to check GS since it's on my 'route' and it's one of few places left that doesn't have a compactor.
