1/10, I usually don't have enough money to buy the games. But I will have enough money to buy Rage! Can't wait for that game!

I usually buy games that have price drops or that are used, but there are some exceptions (I picked 1/10) that make me want to buy it on the first day...and some have been mistakes.
I get most of my games from friends who got sick of them, so very rarely do I buy from WalMart ('cos that's really the only place in my town to get games) on Day 1ne.
Oh, I very rarely buy games day 1/full price. The last game that I purchased at full price was Alan Wake (I do plan on picking up Catherine on Day 1 though). I can count the number of games I have bought day 1 on one hand. I probably buy maybe 2 per year, if that. And considering I probably buy 30 or more games per year, the ratio is considerably less than 1/10th, but lets just say it is for the sake of convenience. I am really cheap. XD
I really only buy Halo and Pokemon day 1.
Halo because they're my favorite games and I get the legendary editions which are mostly pre-order anyway. And the last Pokemon games were the only ones I bought on the first day.. because unlike the last few times I had money and wasn't skeptical.
If they're was another red dead redemption I would probably pre order that with as many extras as possible and get it first day.

I almost never do that anymore after Empire Earth 3 (Stupid piece of shit) took me almost a month before it would actually run, and then it was so buggy I couldn't play. Imagine a battle-map consisting of two islands, which are so small you can only build 1 building, with no enemies or objectives present. try to finish that one.
Lately I've broken my rule of "don't buy full price ever again" for Shogun 2: Total war. This time it WAS worth it. Thank god for that.

Pretty much all of the games I want to get I buy first day if I have the money to do so. If I don't, I get it as soon as I have the monetary means.
If I want it and have been looking forward to it, I get it on day one. That's pretty much 98% of my game collection. I'll only buy old or price dropped games if I have nothing else to play at the moment, which doesn't happen too often.
I generally only buy games on day 1 (or at least within a couple of weeks of release) if it's something I've been crapping myself over for ages.Such games for me were Halo 3 ODST, Halo Reach, Modern Warfare 2 (but not Black Ops) and Prototype. A couple dissapointed me, a couple were good. I have one friend who preorders a lot of the newest games, plays them non-stop for a week and trades them in.
I generally don't buy games on day 1...
However, what games I did get on day 1 (KotOR II, CoD:MW, N:TW, TW:S, ACII and a few others) I've not regretted buying for full price at all.

I only get games on day 1 if I've been SERIOUSLY looking forward to them.
The only ones I've gotten on day 1 are Dead Rising 2 and LA Noire. I'm definitely gonna get Skyrim on day 1 though.

Pretty much this, I've moved away from console because the games aren't worth the price and they charge for everything where as on PC I can get user created mods/servers etc for free. The only time i pay full price for a game is on console... There's only one game on console i'm going to buy this year that isn't on PC... and that's cathrine.fusion_cell said:
I wait for the price to drop, I?ll pay 80, maybe 90 if it?s a game I really want but I?m not paying 100-130 for a new release. I get games are expensive to develop but It?s just too much for me to justify spending and I'm a cheap bastard. I can't even remember the last game I bought at release, infact I'm not sure I ever have. Tho I did preorder portal 2. It's the only game I have ever preordered. The fact that I?m actually using steam now might change that since it?s not as expensive as buying from a store, they have indie games and you get a discount for preordering.
tekken 6 was the last game i bought full price..
I do feel guilty sometimes, because some games are so well made i feel they deserve the rewards for their development time!

Since I now have no job and am ever increasingly running out of funds, I'd say only about 1/10th.
