Are you a Bargain Hunter???

Generally I'm a bargain hunter, and begrudge paying the full RRP.

Recently picked up Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for my good ol' Xbox for a few pounds. I figure even if I don't like a game, if i get a good deal on it I don't mind taking the 'hit' so much, thus I'm more willing to 'gamble' on it.

Are there any games which either you are looking to buy if you can find the right deal, or games which you have gambled on for great price?

:question:

I did that with Turning Point Fall of Liberty

Picked it up for a pretty good price

Got Sonic for 9 bucks

Yeah man. A lot of awesome PS2/Xbox games I've missed over the years for twenty dollars and under. And a few I've been sketpical about at a price I'm willing to lose on.

I picked up Dragon Quest on PS2 at a supermarket for £5 ($10)!!!! I already owned it brand new when it came out so i sold it on ebay for £12.50 ($25). Me very happy!!!

There are some games that I will pay full price for on the day that they are released (the last one for me was GTAIV).

With other games, I will wait until I can get them for I price that I'm happy to pay (R&C-£20, Uncharted-£10).

For me, it's about working out what the value of the game is for me and then waiting until I can get the game for that price.

That's more or less my ethos too...are there any particular games you are currently waiting for the price to drop on??

Now that I've got Uncharted (last week), the only one I'm currently waiting for is MGSIV, which I've played at a friends house and really enjoyed, but I don't really play FPS's so I'll wait until I see it for £20.

What helps is that I've got more games than I've got time to play at the moment and I really should finish some of them off before I buy anything new.

I'm currently working through FFXII (nearly finished), Ico, Oblivion, GTAIV, R&C, Uncharted, The World Ends With You and FFIV. I've also got FFVIII and FFIX that I haven't touched yet and got some of the earlier Final Fantasy's that I want to replay.

I'm also looking forward to Mirror's Edge, Bioshock and White Knight Story, so I've got plenty to keep me going for a while!

im now only buying games on amazon, games are too pricey for me right nowStrayMBlasTER

equilibrium=best movie ever!

i bought vicking for $18..heres a tip: whenever u find a next-gen game less then $20, the chances of that game sucking big time are very high hahaha

Only if I feel the game isn't worth the full price. For example, I don't think that I should pay $60 for Army of Two, but I do want to buy it. but I'd rather wait until the price drops to at least $40. Right now, it's $50 at Best Buy and Gamestop so we're almost there.Lyphe2k

If you have someone to play co-op with through the whole game go ahead and get cause it's the best co-op game on PS3 right now. If you just gonna play by yourself then buy it at 40 bucks. It's a fun game none of the less

Why not try craigslist? They usually have that game for used kinda cheap.

On another note I think the only games I have paid full price for this gen is tekken dr online, metal gear solid 4 and bionic commando rearmed. I got folklore for 30 used, call of duty was a gift but my cousin got it for 20 bucks, and I got the orange box from trading some old ps1 stuff on goozex.

Oh and if anyone is interested blockbuster has gta iv used for ps3 and xbox360 at $34.99. You should check around you if you have a bb.

Since I have only paid full price for about 25% of my PS3 collection. I would have to say that I am a bargain hunter. Why pay full price when you can get it cheaper?GranReyUno

Yeah nothing is wrong with looking for a lower price. Now complaining about prices not being lower is something else.

The only kind of game that nags me to buy new are sports games. The online servers MUST be up on these puppies, or you have lost more than half of the value of the game. Mind you they stay up pretty long anyhow.

Other than that I will happily beat all of my other games while waiting for new stuff to go down in price. No problem at all.
