Have you ever bought a Game before its Console??

Why would someone do that??

If yes, how long did it take you to buy the Console later??

nope. By the time you get the console, the game will probably be cheaper.

Hmm, yes, Link's Awakening DX, I didn't have a GB Color yet back then but I was gonna get one soon anyway and the game was really hard to find back then. :p Still, I could've played the game on one of my older GameBoys anyway. :p

Yes. The two Kingdom Hearts games. I had a PS2, borrowed the first title, then the PS2 broke.

Recently I bought the two KH titles (as it is rare to come across them) and will purchase a PS2 (or if there is a MASSIVE announcement of a BC PS3 for PAL maybe that) fairly soon.

Yes, a couple times. I had Culdcept for months, if not over a year before I actually bought a PS2. I have Dead Rising, and Culdcept Saga but do not technically own a 360. I will probably pick one up in early July though.

The reason I did it is because I have easy access to the systems in other ways. I borrowed a PS2 from my brother on and off and got him addicted to Culdcept as well. I have been borrowing a 360 from a friend of mine for a while now and can play the games whenever I feel like. It is better to play the games now and save up for the system later in my view. Then again, it takes more than one or two games to make me want to buy a system.

I bought the US-Versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Devil May Cry 1 befor I got my US-PS2. Had some trouble with importing the console. I had a real hard time staring at the covers and reading the manuals over and over and[...] again :(

Anyway, I played both long befor the crappy PAL-Versions were relased.

Zelda Twilight Princess. There was a sale for it and I knew I'd be getting it once I got the console anyway, so I just bought it then.

I honestly forget how long it took me to find a Wii. I think it actually took about a month or two after i had already bought the game.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.
