Try to buy NEW games.

Rather than preowned or used.

only buy preowned games which you are least intrested for or which are very old to find in market.

if you like a masterpiece buy a new one.

and help your fav game company to make a sequel.

what we have done to a gem like Thief:Deadly shadows,ico look they are still strugling for a sequel.

I buy new games usually... but never from the an actual retail store (except for preorders).

But majority of the time I buy used games after they have been out for a while. Not all of us have good paying jobs to let us buy new games everytime.

I'm not going to pay 50-60 bucks. when i can get it for 30-40 bucks used.

Sorry, but I have bills to pay and an exorbitant tuition to handle for school. Plus I get 20% off used games at work. Not all of us can always afford to buy new games all the time.creeping-deth87

yeah same here man. There are games that i will buy new like RDR but there alot of games that just dont justify paying full price for.

I usually try not to buy new games.

They can't be very good on my nonexistant pocketbook.

I'm sorry, but the majority of us can't afford to buy new games all the time. As much as we'd like to, we just can't. I have a job, but I have bills to pay and I like to eat so I can't buy new games all the time. So buying used has become my best buddy. Plus, I'm planning for a wedding in September so most of my money goes towards the wedding. IMO, not ALL games deserve a sequel.

i always buy new games bc i can often times find them cheaper than used prices (gamestop)...if you are jsut smart and use sites like slickdeals.net you will find the games you are looking for new for a way good deal...like right now assassins creed 2 is on sale for $25 and comes with a $10 credit at amazon.com...

the only time i have ever bought a used game or a game from gamestop was when i was looking for a really old game...gamestop is the worst store ever

I like buying new, but i usually dont have enough money to so i look on ebay or some site like that

Exactly, why should you pay more for it when you can get the same stuff for cheaper?

not sure where u would get it for $10...gamestop has it for $23 used, ebay it is going for $25 used...where as amazon i can get it new for $25 and then receive a $10 gift card, which only makes it $15...

I buy everything new, bc i always can find it within $5 of what the used price is, and many times cheaper...places dont run specials on used games, whereas they do with new

Majority of the games I buy are brand new/ retail. Just picked up RDR and Alan Wake yesterday. I work full time and go to school full-time.. I have loads of bills and tuition but I manage and I fully support great developers, especially those that reach out to fans.Elian2530

I always buy new copies unless the game I want was released over a year ago (older games can be hard to get a new for). Most of the new games I buy are Limited Editions anyway; Metro 2033, Alan Wake, RDR (on Friday).

Anyway it's not as if game developers are poor. They still get revenue from advertising/marketting and some DLC/Special content/Collectors items.

I buy a mix of new and used games.

Maybe I am just seriously cheap, but I don't even spend $30-$40 on a game. I have amassed a decent sized collection of video games and have never paid over $20 for a game, excluding one case. I did buy Final Fantasy XIII brand new because I didn't want anyone to spoil it for me and I may have been a little drunk.

I get most of my games off of Craigslist, at pawn shops, and on clearance and through sales at stores (so I do buy some new games, just severely discounted new games). Yeah, Amazon can give you a great deal if you want the game the day it comes out, but I am perfectly content with waiting a few months to get it for a fraction of the cost. If there is a big game I just have to play, I rent it.

Sorry, but I have bills to pay and an exorbitant tuition to handle for school. Plus I get 20% off used games at work. Not all of us can always afford to buy new games all the time.creeping-deth87

When I can hand $60 to the cashier without my wallet feeling lighter, I will, required we've got a good game going to my home in the transaction; and this is usually if I absolutely have to have that game when it is released.

If its a game like SSF4 which is at 40 bucks new then absolutely...but games like alan wake and the new prince of persia I seriously cant seem how anyone can spend $60 on it...is it worth the 60 bucks when you beat it in a few days and having no replay value? noTrapMuzik92

Depends on what you're looking for. I spent £50 ($70) on my Alan Wake to get the Limited Edition. I got a book to read, soundtrack CD (which I'm still listening to), documentaries, concept art, and a code for the upcoming DLC. Seems worth it to me.

But seriously, what kind of numpty actually blasts through a game in a few days? :?

I'm in the exact same situation, right down to the wedding in September. I buy almost all of my games used, although games that I know I'm going to replay a lot and that really stand out to me I will buy new, like ME2 or DAO.

some games are worth a preorder and full price, some are not.

I've only bought one used game ever and that was Zelda OOT cause its impossible to find new. Just wait for the price to fall then buy new.

HA HA! Why does everyone think the publisher and developer needs to get money off of used game sales? Trade and bartering has been apart of humanities culture since the beginning. If I sell my car, the dealership needs to get paid too? NO! If I sell my iPad Apple should also get a cut? C'mon. Smarten up. Its called a free market. If used games sale do become a problem the market will fix it. And look its beginning with the charging of on-line games. Its a start...and if the market feels its not enough then things will evolve, however, if the market dislikes where the trend is going then it can burn the people who try to mold it (developers/publishers).
