I almost always wait for the price to drop, I have also a lot of "classics" given with small overprice with gaming mags (I got this way GPL, Myth and Gothic, for example) but as here in Italy, especially in the past, we often had localized versions very late, overpriced and badly translated, and I don't mind playing game in english, I often had opporunities to buy games online from abroad at budget prices when they still were full price here, I grabbed the opportunity for Morrowind GotYE, for example, buying it from Amazon UK together with books (so I saved on shipping, while without buying books it would have been cheaper at gameplay.co.uk or play.com).
