So for over a month I have been out of work. Looking passionately but not getting anything. I have gotten a few interview request and things were looking up, then the email. "The position has been closed at this time" So then I'm back at the beginning sending resume after resume. So that's how things are going in that area.

As for games, I have not been spending money and getting a new game as soon as it comes out for I have plenty of games to play right now. But there are a couple of games I was looking of getting, however I'm not sure if I should go the used route or new and wait till it comes down in price. But most games, the really popular ones, tend to stay in the 60 dollar range for a while.

I generally keep the game I get and do not trade it out once I have played it and beaten the game etc. So I am curious what other folks do. Do they get just new games? Wait till the price drops? Buy used or both? Does it depend on the game whither you get it used or new?

Then I was wondering if the game is used, can you be picky and not get it if the game is worn or scratched, missing the manual etc. I know that you can purchase protection for a used game, but to me that is a waste of money.

Tell me your thoughts should I go the route of a used game?
