...Still have those annoying yellow price stickers on them? I might put the Edge card I've never used to a little bit of utility and build my Xbox collection, but not if I'm going to see the dreaded yellow stickies.

no.

I don't believe so, but I'd be wary of the pre-owned stuff I ordered online... Especially from EBgames.com.

Update: I ordered one game from EBgames.com and another from Gamestop.com. The one from GS had no fewer than seven stickers on it, both front and back! I peeled off as much as I could, but there was still that residue left. Suck. By comparison, the one from EB had one small, discreet sticker with a UPC label on the back, totally unintrusive. The one from EB was in better shape, too...

Hair-dryer + razor to remove em. If that still leaves crap, get a can of Goof-Off and some paper towels.

use masking tape to get rid of the residue

And if you don't have any Goo removers, rubbing alcohol also works rather well.

None of the stuff I ordered had the sticker, perhaps that's just a B&M thing

Yellow stickers is very YMMV. I sometimes get stuff from EB with no stickers, and sometimes it has a ton. One time a game I got from ebgames.com had TWELVE stickers on it.

I bought some n64 games from Ebgames.com and they still had those fucking stickers and shit. I hate that.

Lighter fluid also works well to remove residue.

 

[fse]

interesting...

Just rub it with gasoline (use a white rag) and they come right off. My cases, discs (some discs had stickers also) and manuals are perfect. Be careful to not breathe in the fumes though and work in an open area.

It's a shot in the dark, but perhaps B&M stores shuffle their inventory to the online store and vice versa? That might explain the inconstency of the stickers.
