How much are you willing to pay for a digital game?

I just wait for PSN $0.99 Flash Sale.

That only happened twice.  I wouldn't torture myself.  I ask myself, "wait, or get it for a higher price?"  If it is worth the extra 5 dollars, or whatever it is I'm paying to have the game now, versus waiting, I'd gladly get the game.  Waiting 10 months (or whenever a game goes on sale) to save 10 dollars really isn't beneficial if it means waiting for several months.  That extra 10 dollar cost is worth it to get the game 8 months quicker.

That happened with Soul Calibur II HD.  I spent 10 dollars on SCV a few weeks prior.  I knew SCII was the superior game, but it was at 20.  I gave it a bit of time, and it never went on sale, so I went and got it at full price.  About three weeks (maybe a month) it went on sale, down to 10 dollars.  I was glad I didn't wait.  I took my PS3 over to a friends that next saturday, and we all played SCII for a good hour (maybe more) and it was worth it.  Sometimes, waiting for sales hurt you in the end.

But, sometimes, they're good for a few games you know you would have never bought.  I got Virtua Fighter 2, and when I invited friends over a couple months ago, they played it for over an hour and had a good time with it.  They made it worth getting for 99 cents, because I'd much rather play Final Showdown.  Had there been no VF2, we would have probably done 4p in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, or Dead or Alive 5: Ultimate so maybe spending an hour on a 99 cent game that only supports 2 people wasn't best.  It's hard to say, though. 

Well there were a few flash sales that had games for a few bucks but I honestly wouldn't pay more than like $10 max.  Full games that has a physical version will always win me.  I rather pay more for physical then dirt cheap digitally.  There have been few digital-only games that have interested me and if I'm ever interested i'll wait til it hits $10 if its more expensive.
