Both, used is cheaper, but new is better made along with day one buys.

I was offered a used copy of Mass Effect 2 at GameStop. Ha, yeah, like I'm going to pay $2 less just to miss out on $15 of free content.

Both, preferably used though. The pros to buying it new are that you get the box and original packaging in mint condition and the cons are that its more expensive. For used the pros would be that its cheaper, although the cons are that sometimes the condition isn't great

Another thing is at least in my area for returning new games they have to be unopened otherwise you can only exchange it for the same game and with used you just need the receipt and you can get your cash back if you didn't like it

Both. I buy games new if I want to get them on day one or at least near release. I buy them used most often, though, because they're cheaper and you can take them back if you don't like them and/or you've beaten them.
