"I'll get this game later on when the price drops."

Am I the only one here who looks at a game and says, "It looks fun, but I'll wait until it's 20 or 30 dollars," or something along those lines. And then as the months past and the price decreases, I lose complete interest in it. Like, the hype and excitement on System Wars gets me excited for things, and when there's no talk, I usually never go back to buying the games before. It would be really smart if I waited a whole year for a game to be out before buying it to save money, but I can never wait that long. When there is a game that I am interested in, but it's too high in price, I just forget about it over the months. For example, I was going to pick up Trauma Center: New Blood when the price dropped, but I never did. I just forgot about it and moved on to other games.

Is anyone else like this? This is what I feel I'll do to Skate 2.

By the way, I'm getting Burnout Paradise for my little brother's birthday... Just felt like throwing that out.

I'ts well worth the $60. but, with school and work, my time is limited. So, I can wait for the price to drop. If not, then o well, i'll eventually get it probably

Reason for edit: I meant July 31, 2007, but I accidently put July 31, 2008 instead. ;)

I say that to myself all the time and lose interest just like you. I said this to skate and mirror's edge. Then I played the mirro's edge demo and heard that it was all time trials and lost interest. Then I found out that skate 2 was coming out and so I decided to wait and I could settle for the demo.

But I recently rented LBP, now that is a game i WILL buy when the price gets lower.

I only do that for substantially older games. I didn't enter the current gen of consoles until summer of 08 so there is a whole bunch of early titles I'm lacking from my library. Theres alot i'm interested in, but I can't bring myself to pay $60 bucks for a game thats 2 years old. For example Uncharted... I still can't believe how thats not a greatest hits yet.

Any new games tho... If I want it, I get it right away.

I wanted to do that with Bioshock. It is now $40 but I still think it's a bit too high but I don't even know if I want to buy it anymore. I was thinking of waiting until Dead Space drops in price to because I didn't want to pay $60 for a short single player game but by the time it drops I probably won't care for it anymore.jakarai

COD4 and FO3 have been available on Amazon for far below MSRP many times. And I just did this with The Last Remnantat the end of last year. Had it pre-ordered at $39.99, but cancelled it for something else. A few days later it was up on Amazon for $29.99, so I ordered it. :P

Its weird because if I'm willing to wait for it to drop that far in price it must mean I'm not really that interested in it to begin with. Almost every single game I wait for the drop gets treated just like a rental anyways I'm starting to notice.

I'm able to afford games when they release so I rarely have to wait until a price drop to buy a game I want. Of course, thats just me.Skittles_McGee

You should of bought it during New Years sale. The game was being sold for really cheap price

Go check if Circuit City in your area has it in sale since they are doing a liquidation sale.

Part of the reason I love the Wii... The good games generally fall in price quickly...

I find myself doing this more and more, fewer games are worth full price to me anymore. Mainly because they cost more (other then Wii games) and are more generic then ever.
