Discount Xbox 360 Games
When it comes down to spending money, people like to spend as little as possible. If you're the type of gamer that doesn't need to obsessively purchase the latest games on the day that they arrive in stores or online retailers, then you can save a lot of money while still getting the same great games, albeit a little bit later.
If you can wait a few months or even a year or longer, then discount Xbox 360 games will net you some big savings. There are several ways to go about this: renting, buying used, and simply waiting for games to come down in price as the months wear on.

Different Methods
Getting discount Xbox 360 games through renting is pretty self explanatory. Many online services charge a monthly fee in exchange for letting users rent games for as long as they desire. Brick and mortar stores like Blockbuster charge by the game and have late fees, but you can spend less on renting games if you complete them more quickly.
Online discount Xbox 360 game renting services are most like Netflix in their business model.
Buying used is another great way to get discount Xbox 360 games. Often, you can purchase these games within weeks of new releases, as gamers quickly exchange them for a significant portion of their retail value. At first, this will only save you about five or ten dollars as demand remains high, but they will drop to a fraction of their original price as demand falls.
Used games are a safe bet, although many people have a stigma about them. They don't feel that they can trust the quality of the game discs, but the truth is that most gamers take great care of their video games.
In fact, resellers will refuse to purchase faulty equipment and video games, so you can rest assured that used discount Xbox 360 games will work as intended, or you will always be able to return them for replacement copies.
Lastly, most 360 games become discount Xbox 360 games over time anyway. It's not uncommon to find games that are at least 18 months old to cost just half of what they did originally. Purchasing older games is another great way to save money.

There are some fantastic titles like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which have fallen in price because of their relative age to other Xbox 360 titles. If you absolutely must purchase some of the upcoming Xbox 360 games like Fallout 3 when they launch, then by all means, go right ahead.
However, you will end up paying more, and for any games that can wait, waiting for several months really opens up the options for discount Xbox 360 games.
