Because some people genuinely couldn't care less if it's new or used as long as the game works, so any discount at all should get some heat.

My point wasn't that it's new or used, by point is that you're only getting £3 off for a used game! Maybe it's just me but that isn't much of a discount at all. A used game should be at least £10 cheaper than it's new counterpart.
So my argument is, how is £3 off a used copy worthy of being considered a Hot offer?

Isn't the Smyths version £32.98 after shipping? At least that's what your pricespy link states.

From their website:
Delivery to Mainland UK:
Standard Shipping is FREE all GB orders over £29. Shipping charge of £2.99 applies for orders under £29. Excludes Large Bulky items.
Because people think it's a good deal, as evidenced by the hot votes it has received.
Maybe - just maybe - not everyone agrees with your way of thinking, and appreciates being able to knock a few quid off the cost of a (fairly pricey) game like this one.

Honestly, I think the people voting it hot do not actually realise it is for a used game. Many people probably see it from the main page, see that it's GTA V for £26 and upvote without really looking at the full offer.

£26.12 for a used copy, AFTER a 10% discount!! ... Really?
The game can be bought for £29.99 BRAND NEW! Without any discounts taken into consideration.
