Well there's your problem right there. Those things tend to lose value rather quickly since there's a new one out every year. I mean, Gamestop's trade in value for games is still awful, but with sports games it's especially bad.

On PC, yes, definitely. Or rather, prices can get lower, or receive discounts, much faster. On consoles prices tend to be the same for a long time, or maybe see a brief 20-25% sale.

I get an email from GMG every month (or sometimes every two weeks, depends on how often they feel like doing these) with a 20 to 25% off code. The percentage varies, depending on the promotion. I've only bought like six games from GMG, but I was getting these emails after my first purchase. The code is also not exclusive to the receiver, it's the same generic discount code sent to everyone, so you might find some sites sharing that code (I know Destructoid does when they do their game deals articles). And while they encourage you to use the code on pre-orders, or newer games (i.e. the expensive ones) it usually works on pretty much any game on the site.

Speak of the devil, just got a 20% voucher that's valid on anything (20PERO-FFDIGI-GAMESX), and a 25% voucher that's valid for Life is Strange (25OFFL-IFEISS-TRANGE).
Both expire on the 26th.
