Games at the moment, are horribly expensive, $70 plus tax for a single 360 game? I've decided that I'm just going to continue to buy used games instead of new ones, theres a place near where I live that sell most of their used xbox games (Its an entire trade in type store, they dont sell new) for really good prices, I just picked up oblivion for $35 (eb used game price was 59.99) and I also saw a used lost planet for $45.

What do you guys do? Do you just purchased used, or do you shell out the money to buy new?

Well developers don't get the share of sales when a game is bought used... but prices are so damn expensive that most people are reluctant to buy new. For now, I always buy used. If developers want us to buy new games, they are gonna have to lower the cost somehow.

I only buy games once in a blue moon, and when I do buy games, their always brand new. And the rest I just rent. That's where gamefly comes into place. Renting is the best damn thing to hit gaming since the memory card. So yeah, you got keep the industry alive!

I dont like buy used games, but i agree $70 is much for a game and it must be a very good game if i pay that. Games should cost $49 or lower :/

I only would buy a used game if I kinda wanted it and it had been out for a while. I usually buy games I want badly as soon as possible and they are not usually sent back to a store to be sold as used for a few months.
