do you buy new or used? honestly

there are some that buy strictly new...some strictly used, then you got your in betweens....I personally buy new.,.....unless there is a game that i really want and i have no choice but to buy used. but more often than none, i buy new

I do my part to make sure gamestop stays in business.

Buy new on PC

Rent/Borrow PS3 games

Used. 

I play on PC and like 95% of my games are DD only so that speaks for itself

When I had a PS3 though I would wait for used version of games I wasn't sure about or if I saw a game in the used pile I thought I'd like. If I really was interested in a game then I would pay for it full price new

Video games are the only things I'll buy used and I buy them used whenever I can.

Both. I won't buy a used game if it's just $5 below the new price.

Both. 

I buy new but like being able to sell my games. I sold 30 of my PS3 games for around $500

Both, I can't really buy retro games new any more.Sali217

I buy both, but I never buy from gamestop. When I buy used, I buy from Amazon and Ebay.

I buy both, buy I never buy from gamestop. When I buy used, I buy from Amazon and Ebay.AmazonTreeBoa

I also avoid Gamestop.  In the last 4 years I've only done business with them once.

New because I don't know who owned the game before me; Also I'm obessive compulsive when it comes to games and other media and I want my games in mint condition when I purchase it so much so that I hate when a case gets a scratch in it.

My sister all of her games are used since she isn't going to pay full price on my nephew because he can't take care of his stuff.

I do my part to make sure ACTUAL DEVELOPERS stay in business.  I buy new 80% of the time.

Mostly new, but I buy many older games used.

I buy new though I trade in the majority of my games in. Only have like 10 games in my collection. Rarely I've bought used

I doubt you want to hear it all, but between the poor customer service, the pricing, and the full on dishonesty I've experienced, I'd rather not give them my business if it can be helped.  I'm not the type to get upset over an isolated incident, but I had far too many bad experiences.

Also, sometimes going to Gamestop is like stepping into a system wars themed holodeck.  No thanks.  I just want to get what I came for and leave, not have some biased zit faced kid tell me what I should and shouldnt get.

To you people who only buy new. Are you guys like millionaires or something? or do you just not play many games?Sali217

If there's a game I really want like day 1 material I'll buy it new, if I buy a game later on down the road it's usually used.

I do both frequently.

I buy about 5-6 games a year new.  Thats about $300 to $360 dollars.  Hardly a millionare.  Buy a few used each year.  Most I turn back in because they aren't as good as the big name releases.

EDIT: Also let me add that I buy used games, but I don't sell my games.

I didn't play Arkham Asylum until Arkham City was released because Wal-Mart had a promotion where if you bought Arkham City you got Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition free.

I very rarely buy used unless it's so old that used is the only way to obtain a copy without paying £200 for the one guy who still has a shrink wrapped copy. I do sell games though, usually on Amazon, unless they're only worth a few pounds and then it's not really worth the hassle once you pay for postage and packaging to ship stuff in. That's really the only time I bother with game stores.

I buy most things on PC now, it's rare that I pay more than £20 for a new game. Even then I only buy maybe 1 or 2 brand new games a month, so I'm probably spending about £500-600 a year at most. That's not a ton if you think that lots of people probably spend that in 3 or 4 months going out getting drunk.

I usually buy 12-20 new games a year :|. I've actually cut back this year though since I'm saving up for school and new PC parts.

Most the time I buy new, but I have bought used before. If I do buy used, it is from an Amazon Prime elligible seller.
