Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

[TheTJackson]

Metro 2033...I currently have 3 copies of it.
I bought it twice...one was a second hand copy from a store, the other was a "pirated" copy from KL - didn't expect that one to work
The third copy however was a gift from a friend over steam...so at least it works

I've bought Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare three times actually. The first time I bought it, I had quite a bad computer and It didn't run very well. I still enjoyed very much. Then, I bought it for my Xbox360 since I guess it would be able to run much better, but apperantly was almost half of the servers We're hacked and then my account somehow got below level one, and I was unable to even play it at the Xbox. Then, some time later, there was a Steamsale for the game, and I picked it up, because whythehecknotitscheap.

I bought digital editions of several of the older games I own.

I bought Deus Ex way back in 2000 at an EB Games location, then bought it again during a Steam sale for dirt-cheap (as my original game disc was scratched beyond belief due to many playthroughs).

I bought Ghost Recon around the time of its release, then bought a Collector's Edition tin that had the game and all its expansions, Advanced Warfighter and some physical goods (a hat, belt, t-shirt, messenger bag and making-of disc) when it was on sale at a Future Shop.

I also plan to buy the Baldur's Gate EE, even though I still own the "Original Saga" release that had the expansion and the soundtrack that came out on CD-ROM a few years back. I have a feeling I'll do the same with the BGII:EE, despite owning the "Complete" edition from Good Old Games.

I have multiple copies of Fallout 3 and NV because I got them on sale and I bounce from system to system and pc a lot.

 

[Templarixx]

I bought Gear of War 2 twice. First time I had it, finished it and had a lot of fun with it then I got tired of it and sold it. About one or two years later I bought it again because I remember having some much fun playing it.

 

[maninahat]

I bought Silent Hunter 3 at least three times. Usually because I keep losing the older copy. And Borderlands twice, because the second time had lots of DLC thrown in at a bargain price.

 

[John Farrell]

Final Fantasy's 7 and 10
Wild Arms 3
Suikoden 5
Persona 3 FES and Portable, does that count?

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Yep. Bought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on xbox way back when, then bought it on Steam a couple years ago.

 

[Drakmorg]

Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, and Mass Effect 1 and 2 were games I bought again after my glorious ascension into the PC gaming master race.

Resident Evil 5 I bought twice because I (for some reason) regretted trading it in.

AAAAAAA!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity I bought twice because of Steam Indie Game Bundles.

 

[putowtin]

Fable, I bought Fable, then Fable TLC for xbox, then Fable TLC for the pc, and just bought Fable from xbox live

Fallout 3, twice for the ps3 once for the 360

Oblivion, twice for the 360, once for pc

 

[Deathmageddon]

I might have to if I ever want to beat the last Splinter Cell game. I either lost it, lent it, or traded it in...

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

I bought a lot of the games I had on Xbox on Steam when I started PC gaming, to name a few as examples:

Skyrim
Oblivion
Saints Row The Third
Fable III
Fallout 3
Fallout New Vegas
Dark Souls
Battlefield 3
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
Dragon Age Origins

OK, I'll stop there.

 

[Vausch]

Saints Row 2 for my 360 and PC, and Borderlands twice for my PC. I gave the first one away and bought the GOTY edition on Steam for 7.50.

 

[GonzoGamer]

I got Fallout 3 on PS3 ( I really have no idea why I did that) and then picked up the GOTY edition on steam years later.

Yea, I really liked Fallout 3 (even though I too had it on the PS3) and I wanted to play it with the mods so I got goty for the pc.
Same with GTA San Andreas, just enjoyed it so much and wanted to play it without buildings popping up in front of me so I got it for the pc. There were some great mods for that game too.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Bought Kingdom Hearts twice cause I lost my first copy and wanted to replay it.

Re-bought Super Mario 64 for the Virtual Console cause my N64 was long dead.

Bought Limbo, Braid, and Bastion (but for PC isntead of Xbox 360, where I had played them before) again because they were part of a Humble Bundle...still a great deal, and an excuse to replay all of them.

EDIT: Also bought GTA San Andreas for PC after owning it on PS2 because I wanted to play it again and didn't have my PS2 with me at school

 

[PorkChopXpress]

I'm a constant victim (not sure if that's the right term) of this.

Whenever a new game I've been awaiting for is announced, I trade in older games for the trade-in credit towards that new game to reduce cost. But once I've finished that new game, I trade it in for a larger credit amount and pick up some cheap games I've already owned (and loved) at one time or another to play while waiting for the next big one to come along.

I do, however, own 3 games I've never traded in, MGS4 CE, Arkham City CE, and Red Dead Redemption "Special Edition".

Hell, Gamestop just recently had a Buy 2 Get 1 free Pre-owned sale and I picked up 3 games I already owned.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (cuz I wanted to expand my western game cache)
Enslaved (I really enjoyed it, but this time I bought it for the wife)
LOTR: War in the North (really liked what I played before, but a larger title I wanted more came out and I decided to trade it in)

 

[Azure Knight-Zeo]

I have three copies of Super Mario Bros., the original NES cart w/Duck Hunt, a Virtual Console version on Wii because I didn't find my NES untill later, and the one from the 3DS's Ambassidor Program.

 

[regalphantom]

I bought Morrowwind twice, although the second time was the GoTY edition.
I've also bought couple of games twice because I've given away my original copy, then decided I wanted to play it again.

 

[evilengine]

Let's see... I've bought several versions of Mafia over the years, the same goes for Theme Hospital, SimCity 3000, Vietcong and Thief: Deadly Shadows. These were due to mostly losing or damage to the disc, my current computer being incapable of running it, or the game becoming glitched in some way or another.

On the other hand, I've now bought multiple versions of Thief 1 and 2. The first time I saw a new trilogy pack in a branch of Game, which when I noticed had Thief Gold instead the Dark Project I snatched it up straight away. I also bought a cope from GOG.com, as well as ANOTHER one from Steam. Not sure why exactly, I might just love it so much that I must own multiple copies =P

 

[gideonkain]

Half-life 2 on XBox when i twas released cause my comp couldn't handle HL 2 at the time.
Then again when I bought one that could.
Then again when it was on steam for pennies, just cause.
