thesimpsons69 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 When I buy games I buy them when they first come out and usually the stores have deals on them like when Resident Evil came out I got it for $40 at Target. Another place is ebay for instance I got Lost Kingdoms there for $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FelixtheGamer Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I tend to buy games when they are older and used. Or at least have been out a while and the price comes down. If a game really strikes me, I will pre-order it or buy it at the best price I can find. I tend to go in streaks. I won't buy anything for a while. Then in a week or two buy several games.

NE146 Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 I bought 98% of all my games new at retail price.. including the majority of my 2600 collection. So if you want to know who here paid $35 for Defender, $25 for Adventure, etc. That sucker would be me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varan Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I pre-ordered Dreamcast with 2 games (Hydro Thunder and Mortal Kombat Gold). Also, Asheron's Call Dark Majesty Expansion I preordered. I bought Metal Gear Solid 2 the day it came out. I was holding a used copy of Burnout in my hands today but I put it back. I got G Darius off e-Bay.

MacGurl Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 We usually buy ours at Best Buy or Fry's..and NOT when they first come out..we wait till they go down about $10.00 Except for Resident Evil, my husband "just had to have it" when it came out.

NintendoPimp69 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I normally buy all my games when they first come out if I know that they're going to be good, or after I have rented it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 If you're looking for Dreamcast games, this week only all BEST BUY stores are taking 50% off all DC games in stock. While the selection is rather poor, I did end up getting a copy of Mark of the Wolves for only $9.99. They seem to have plenty of NFL 2K (the first one) and Virtua Tennis games, as well as an overwhelming number of KISS Psycho Circus copies.

I would imagine that this is nationwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I buy games when I find them at a reasonable price, but I don't think that's what you mean. I haven't bought a newly released mainstream game for a long, long time. When was Star Wars Episode 1 out? Somwhere around there I bought Episode 1 racer for the Gameboy -- that was probably my last new-new purchase. Mostly I like to pickup new games from bargain bins, which typcially means at the end of the console's life span. However, the PS2 just dropped in price here in Australia, so I'll probably be buying one or two new games this weekend. Wipeout Fusion will be one, and something Uber-new will be another. Not sure what the latest PS2 releases are here in Oz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I always wait until the games come down in price... that's why the Dreamcast is such a great system in my opinion The only game I've paid full price for on the Dreamcast was NHL 2K2 for $64 Canadian... everything else I got for $35 or less. Previously, when all I had was my Gameboy and Jaguar, I used to buy all my games brand new. I wised up pretty fast when I realized how cheap they get if I just wait a while. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I haven't paid more than A$49.95 (~US$25) for a Dreamcast game. Most I've been getting for A$25-$28, new, with pre-owned as low as A$15 (bought from Electronics Boutique). I have about 16 DC games, all originals.
