Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

[Dfskelleton]

I've bought Doom on nearly every console (and mobile device) I own.

I did buy a second copy of Halo 3 when the disk on my first game broke.

I have F.E.A.R. for both Xbox 360 and PC.

I bought Driver 3 (or Driv3r...) twice. Shut up, I was ten and didn't know better. Besides it's nowhere near as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Edit: How did I forget this? Snake Eater, Subsistence and HD versions of MGS3.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

MGS3: six times
FFVII: twice
Ocarina of Time: 3 times
Majora's Mask: twice
StarFox 64: twice
Su-peeeerrrr SMAAAAAAAAAAASH BRRROTHEEEEERRRRRRRRRS!: twice
Fallout New Vegas: twice
Vexx: Twice
Gex 3: twice
Shadow of the Colossus: Twice
Devil May Cry: twice
DMC 3: Three times
Duke Nukem Forever: technically twice, but one time just for an extra bumper sticker
Red Faction Guerilla: 4 times
Mercenaries 2: twice
Oblivion: Twice
Mortal Kombat Deception: Twice, and both times accidental
No More Heroes: Twice
Pokemon Snap: 3 times
Banjo Kazooie: twice
Banjo Tooie: twice
and there are MANY others, but that's all I can think of right now.
Now guess the reasons for the purchases!

Psychonauts. I have the PS2 and computer version. Mostly because it was cheap and you can never get enough Psychonauts.

 

[Odbarc]

Diablo 1 multiple times. One broke.

 

[zidine100]

half life technically four times, one legit, the other one in a box set to get the expansions, the other ebay advertised the box set as half life 2 whereas it was just one with the expansions, and the last one was half life source (IT COUNTS DANG IT) with came with half life 2.

 

[Robot Number V]

Yup. Had to buy The Sly Collection and Uncharted 3 a second time after my copies were stolen in a break-in. I also got Portal 2 for Xbox before buying again on Steam for the level editor.

 

[Thoughtful_Salt]

Bioshock and Advance Wars 2 are the only games i've bought multiple time, but only because they broke or I lost them.

 

[Jaeke]

Skyrim.
I've spent about $250 dollars on the game(s).

 

[JasonKaotic]

Does that include replacing crappy copies? I've had 4 different copies of Final Fantasy VIII. Although the first one I got for free, so yeah. Most of the discs of my first copy ended up wrecked because I was an idiot when I was little, I have no idea why my second copy stopped working, my third copy never worked (friggin' ebay) and I ended up buying it again off the PSN Marketplace because that was guaranteed to not be broken.
Success!

 

[SlamDunc]

Fallout 3 and TES IV because I like just playing on Xbox (It seems more reliable and I prefer to play on 360) and I have them on PC (They were cheap on Steam and I bought them to mod. Less reliable and more for messing around.). I play games more seriously on my Xbox and use a PC just with smaller games that I like messing around on like KSP.

 

[karcentric]

Yes. From what I can remember:

Halo Reach x4
Borderlands x3
Call of Duty World at War x3
Grand Theft Auto IV x3
Just Casue 2 x3
Left 4 Dead 2 x3
Oblivion x3
Saints Row 2 x3
Tomb Raider Legend x3
Assassins Creed Brotherhood x2
Batman Arkham Asylum x2
Battlefield Bad Company 2 x2
BioShock 2 x2
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 x2
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 x2
Command & Conquer 3 x2
Dead Rising 2 x2
Fable 2 x2
Fable 3 x2
GTA: Episodes of Liberty City x2
Left 4 Dead x2
Portal 2 x2
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 x2
Star Wars The Force Unleased x2
The Orange Box x2
Tomb Raider Underworld x2
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland x2

Uhhh, if I may, but why so many?

I have a habit of selling games and then buying them back.

Sounds expensive...

 

[Stainlesssteele4]

I've purchased Oblivion 5+ times, never once regretting it.
I've purchased most of my games library a second time on PC.
I've repurchased games after trading them in, realizing I liked them too much.
Got a few collector's editions on Amazon for the hell of it, already having the games themselves.

 

[Yugeky20]

Starwars Battlefront 2 - twice
Ace Attorney - twice
Portal - twice
Halo 2 - twice
I don't know if this counts but I brought Arkham City and then got Arkham City GOTY

 

[murdeoc]

I've bought Diablo II about five times by now, maybe more. I keep losing it.

the exact same thing

 

[Zyntoxic]

Morrowind: 2
Skyrim: 2
Unreal Tournament: 3
Unreal Tournament 2004: 2
Neverwinter Nights: 4
Neverwinter Nights HOtU:2
Neverwinter Nights SoU: 3
Mass Effect 2: 2
Dragon Age Origins: 2
Dragon Age 2: 2
Warcraft 3: 3
Starcraft: 3
The Sims: 2
The Sims House Party: 3
The Sims Hot Date: 2
Drakan Order of the Flame: 2
Beyond good and evil: 2

funny thing though, the second version of Mass Effect 2 was a collectors ed that I found on a sale.
But whenI tried to add the collectors ed content to my Bioware account I noticed that you can only have one product for each platform from each title, and I asked EA why and if there were any possibility for me to add the content any way.
they answered no, and then question why I would even get a second copy of a game in the first place...

 

[4RM3D]

I hadn't touched a CoD title since 2 on PC, but a lot of my friends pestered me to get BO on the 360. I was kinda addicted after a bit, so when they stopped playing I traded it for the PS3 version which other friends were still playing. They then stopped and the guys on the 360 started again, so I traded it the other way.

MW3 followed a similar pattern, although I only played about 5 hours on each system....

All in all, I spent nearly as much on those two titles (plus DLC) as I did on the two systems I was running them on... all the time complaining that I couldn't find the money to upgrade my PC

Hence the don't ask

Ouch. Too bad the game doesn't have a cross platform server.

That definitely sounds like EA. The company has been going downhill for a while now. I stopped buying from them after they forced Origin on us. That was the last straw.

 

[The Human Torch]

Bought Bulletstorm twice, for PC and for X-Box 360. I wanted to support the developer since they were having financial issues.
Not that it mattered much in the end since EA screwed them over a few months after the release of Bulletstorm.
