I like getting games the day that they come out. It's just more fun, I think. You get to have the game before anyone else.
So you like to waste money whenever possible? My friend use to do this and it drove me insane.Spaz91 said:
I pre order games I really want. I've never pre ordered a game that was a disappointment. I also pre order for the special offers the store might have, or because I know I wont have the money when the game comes out. Other games that I think looks good I usually wait a while to get them.
Used to be after months of saving (kid, teenager), then right on the release day.
But now I am not that loaded anymore, so I tend to by them second hand asap.
And mind you; this can be damn fast! I picked up a RE5 copy a week after release, brand spankin new looking at the gameshop for twenty euro's less than an actual new one. Meant I could get a Blu-Ray movie with the saved $$$.

I have a few friends who always keep up to speed on new games in the works and all that so I usually hear from them if it's anything I might like. Some internet reviewer isn't going to know what I like in games so I don't even bother looking them up, let alone taking them seriously.
When it does come out I buy it in the first few days as it comes out. Sometimes I do pre-order, but even then I'll just pick it up that afternoon. I'm not one to wait outside some store at midnight.

I don't usually get it right when it comes out (I've never been to a midnight release). If I really really want to play it, then I'd get it a week or two after, but I usually wait for a price drop.
Whenever I had the money of course.
I can't honestly be bothered to wait till 12am to buy a game. I've only done that for a few movies.

I always wait 3-6 months for a game just so I can get it for half price or less. Sometimes friends will even beat a game and I'll borrow it or they'll give it to me. Sometimes I get them for even cheaper, I bought Overlord at Gamestop for $10 and loved it (if I had bought it for $69 there would have been far less love). I just recently got COD:WAW used for $10 so I could play Nazi Zombies with my friends, I spent more on the map packs than I did on the game.jacobschndr said:
The other advantage of this is that I never have a time where there are no new games out. I always have a list of games that I've been meaning to play.
I borrow it from a friend first, he plays it hardcore style (NO STOPPING!), and when hes done, and is bored I say can borrow (name), and BOOM! I get to try a game for some time, and then after if its good, and I feel like achievement whoring,I end up buying it to system link with my friend, or online.
I only get new games when there is something I personaly REALLY want to get. DiRT 2 will be my next NEW game purchase. And thinking about it, that last NEW game I bought was Dead Space...and that was last year wasn't it?
Okay forget about pre ordering anything. Say you buy a game for 40 sell it for 20 buy it for 15 sell it for 5 then buy it again at 7. You just spent 66 and only earned 25, making you lost 41 dollars. More then what you payed for it originally.Spaz91 said:
