Machiavellian said:
I cannot tell you the last game I actually purchased at 70 bones. I always wait for a sell and its not like I cannot afford the game at that price, its just that I like to spend as little money on luxury items as possible. Case in point, I love the Armor core series, I could have easily pulled the trigger on it when it released but wait until now at 40 bones on Amazon to get it. Hell I still believe I can wait until it drop to 30. If games move to a hundred, that means they will discount faster but their base discount will be 70 or something like that. Its just a way for the industry to give you a perceived discount and better price all the while taking more advantage of the Whales and less patience consumers. |
I've been doing it more often even though I don't play them right away. It's because of how scarce the physical copy market is becoming. I have found lately if I don't jump on them immediately the only copies left will be the foreign copies. I know they still work but I can't stand the ugly rating system colors on them. And to get a copy that is North American can sometimes go up in price, not down. I come across this problem more often with JRPGs.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
