Do you buy games new or used?

New, always. People treat DVD's, CD's and game discs like shit here, odds are that a used disc of any kind won't even work.
There was an old videoshop here that rented out the games for 2-3 years and then sold them at full price...
And; yes, people bought them (they were mostly NES and SNES games that don't wear out that badly, but still).

 

At the rental place I go to, I think they have a disc repair machine because the used copies I buy have no scratches on them usually.

 

Gamestop has a 7 Day return policy, they'll give you a different copy, store credit, or a new game with no questions asked.  I do it all the time.  I usually go through 2 or 3 games before keeping one.  I've bought hundreds of used games and never had a scratched one.  I've gotten the cash back once or twice.
