The last game I bought new was LOTR Conquest. I blew $60 on it. Hell, I even pre-ordered it. It was so horrible that I should have sold it immediately, when I had the chance. Unfortunatly, I hate selling games at a big drop off. So, I kept it, hoping I could get some enjoyment out of it. Now, I'd probably be lucky to get a few bucks for it.

I won't be making that mistake for awhile (sooner or later it always happens, but it will be later this time). For now, I'm sticking to a $40 ceiling for games I really want and $20 for games I'm not sure of. That way, if the game does suck, I won't take such a big hit when I sell it. (There are stores and sites that give a good deal more than Gamestop--I would have to suffer a brain aneurysm to consider selling anything to them.)

If game companies consistently made good games, I wouldn't need to worry so much or budget gaming purchases so tightly, but that's the way it is.
