When Do You Buy Games?

[AntiWinner22]

I BARELY got my hands on Ninja Gaiden (about 1 day ago), which, I think, is kind of sad, as I missed the initial frezy at GameFAQs.

 

When do you buy games? 1 week, 1 day, 1 month after release? I just buy it when I get the dough.

I usually don't have to wait since there isn't really a big demand for games here. The closest Gamestop (20 miles away) is pretty nicely stocked with new releases. But then again, I only buy PC games and there aren't that many PC gamers here.

I buy em' after I play the demo, get the money, and read reviews about the game.(Yes Im very picky about my games)

I wait for a year for prices to go down. I really don't care if everyone else is talking about it. I'm not going to pay full price..

 

Lets take the PS2 for example, 300$

 

Most games weren't even out that were very good.

 

They had to wait a few months to get FFX and the price went down by then

I usually buy my games from a big mall that gives me 15% off... or from a small shop near me that sells used games.

I buy all the cool games almost as soon as they're released.

Depends on the game, if ive been waiting for it, its mine within the week it comes out, if I just want it, I'll probably get it within the month or year.... last game I bought right away was Deus Ex 2 because I had been waiting for that forever

I buy games in the middle of fall and during winter when I actually have enough money to buy a f*cken game

I'd say it depends I hardly ever BUY a game the first week it is out. but when it is something I know is gonna rock I'll preorder it and get it the day it hits the store.

funny thing is the last game I preordered was SFIII:3s for the dreamcast. before that It was the OG SFII for Snes.

the only game I've ever bought right on it's release was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for ps2, but now I regret it cause that game was so damn boring, ah well..I traded it anyways

Depends on the game. If it's a game that I've been watching since it's press release, I might buy it depending on how much info has been mentioned on it to tell if they delievered. Sometimes I just go buy them because I'm a die hard fan of it. I also look for deals on used copies, like Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain!, which I got for 59.99 inseted of 79.99 and GGXX for 49.99 and Shinobi for free. Useally EB or even Blockbuster has sometimes new and used titles for cheap.
