Have you ever bought a used game on purpose?

Have you?

I have, I bought street fighter 4 used because I was angry at capcoms abusive DLC (usually I buy games new because that way the devs make money)

They're usually cheaper that way.Cherokee_Jack

if you wanna buy them used just buy them new at gamestop :D

no but seriously I used to but now with disk scratching and alot of stuff it's better to buy them new and it's not like u save alot it's like 5 or 6 dollars many times

They're cheaper but I prefer new games better.

Yes I do it all the time, but only if they're old and can't be found in stores or if I can get them much cheaper that way.

All the time...

Ishop a lot (online) before I purchase a game, and I buy games in bundle of 3 or more and I usually include one used game that I want to just tryout for the first time (Like Stranglehold and Rockstar's Table Tennis). The games im most interested in I make sure to get a new version, other than that I don't mind buying used games, every used game I bought was in very good condition.

All the time, a few scratched in exchance for a considerably cheaper game.

I buy used games all the time. Cheap games on ebay FTW.

i buy used games when im feeling cheap

I buy 95% of my games used even if it is $5 cheaper cause that is $5 I save. No reason to spend more money for the same game.

I bought Halo 3 for 30 used because I didn't want to pay 40 for it new on Amazon. I didn't feel it would have been worth the 40 bucks, and I was right about that one; Glad I only paid 30.

Usually for console games I wait till they go down to at least 40 on Amazon before I pick them up. Although I picked up Gears of War 2 limited edition at Target for 48 bucks because it was in the clearance rack for some reason, while the regular copy was still going for 60. lol However, if I want the game badly enough, I will buy it at full retail price when it comes out, like Resident Evil 5 for example.

Most PC games become cheap on Amazon after a couple weeks though, so I usually wait the couple weeks especially after making the mistake of paying 50 bucks for Far Cry 2 when it first came out. God what a mistake. There are exceptions as I said before though, like Left 4 Dead, GTA IV, Empire: Total War, etc.

Sometimes if I'm looking for an obscure title I can likely only find a used copy. Dunno why people compare buying used games to russian roulette as I have never had a problem with a used disc despite how bad it looks.

Constantly buying used games, never any problems & I save a ton of cash.

Yeah.

I buy used games when the game I'm looking for is too old and its not possible to buy new copies any more.

Nope. Even if I wanted to, the used PS3 games market is practically nonexistent where I live.

If I got all my games brand new then my collection would be less than half as big as it is. Games are too expensive, they should charge less and sell more.

Personally , new games are so much cheaper on the internet than the used games in the games store so i would nevr buy used

However if i can pick up an old game for next to nothing £5 / $10 then i'm gonna get it

I only buy used when the discount it good enough. And also if the new copy is hard to find. However, my bby discount is usually cheaper than gamestop's used games, so I buy a lot more new games than used.

A better question would have been "Have you ever bought a used game by accident?"

I've bought plenty of used games on purpose...I've even bought a used console or two.

99.9% of my games are used i refuse to support those bastards!bayareahusla

yeah, i usually get into the new generation of systems a year, year and a half late and usually pick up all the big name launch titles used. After that not really, unless i passed on a purchase thinking its too much for a single player experience looking at you DEAD SPACE, i'll eventually pick it up used.

I do all the time for example killzone 2 was 120$ everywhere els in town for new then i saw it for second hand 60$ half price it brang me joy :)

i always buy new games

Yes. My local movie/game rental place fairly regularly clears out their stockpiles of used games (Xbox, 360, Wii, PS2 and PS3) in a 2 for $40 sale. That is canadian...and lately games seem to be selling for close to $70 it seems. Even at the more typical $50 - $60 price point, that still means 2 games for cheaper than the price of one. I've seen GTA4, GT Prologue, MGS4, etc all in this pile at some point (although it was a month or so after these games launched and I bought them at retail already). However, this was where i bought games like Valkyrie Chronicles, Bioshock, Disgaea 2, Condemned 2, and a couple others. I'm behind on my game purchases as it is, but I'm still hoping to find Street Fighter 4, Prince of Persia, and maybe even RE5 in this pile. The catch is you have to wait, and you have to get there the first day or two of the sale or else you will miss out on the good deals.

I've also bought Dead Space used because EB was having an insane deal in march, where you trade in Twilight princess for Wii and they'd give you $37 for trade. I bought TP at launch and done everything I ever could with it, so I traded it in and grabed a used copy of Dead Space, which was $45. I was out a whole $8 after taxes.

Countless of times..but not at all this gen..if it wasn't for a few months ago..because the country where i live in has a higher standards that i thought shops like gamestop and eb don't exist..but i found 1 and i bought few used games..

ya..gta 4 paid..23 bucks..add the lost and damned dlc for 20 thas 43 dollars...now if anyone bought gta 4 new..thas $63.58+$20.00=83.58 ..$43.00 VS $83.58..hmm lol but ya i buy all my games used..unless my used game stores dont have the game and i just really want to buy that game at the moment then i hit up walmart lol like killzone 2 couldnt find it used..so had to throw down $63.58 for it new..o well nice game tho..short but good.
