00:43:13 - Taking Advantage of Holiday Sales

In this episode we forgot to mention the various rewards points systems, most notably Nintendo’s Gold Points and Sony’s PlayStation Stars programs. They’ll give you “currency” which can be used to discount future game purchases. Steam also has a way to earn some small amounts of money by selling the trading cards you earn for free when playing games. Don’t forget to take advantage of any rewards programs that give you bonuses and save you money!
