Well basically I'm the type of person who will only buy a game brand new if it's a game that deserves $60-$70 of my hard earned cash. Although there are many 9/10 games this fall, very few of them are interesting enough where it makes me want to get the game brand new. The game can be short, or just lacking the content of other full priced games (e.g. NFS Shift does not have the same amount of content or level of quality Forza or GT games do), or maybe not the type of game we were hoping for (Assassin's Creed 2.5, 2.5-II) so to me it's not worth the full price. Ontop of that many games come with DLC after DLC to the point where the game can cost double or triple its original price.

This is why I buy most of my games used. I was wondering what other used gamers plan to buy this holiday.

The games I am looking out for are:

• Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ($20)
• Batman: Arkham City ($30 GOTY down the road)
• Catherine ($20 - short)
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ($60 likely)
• Crysis 2 ($20 like it is on steam)
• Dead Island ($20 - may have to wait on this one)
• Deus Ex (but I might just borrow this from a friend)
• Fallout: New Vegas GOTY Edition ($40, F3 GOTY was $40 not long after they released it)
• InFamous 2 (When I get a PS4, not replacing my broken PS3)
• Portal 2 ($20-30)
• Uncharted 3 (When I get a PS4, not replacing my broken PS3)
• Vanquish (want to complete this game and keep it)(<$20, buying it for keeps, or to complete and tier trade MW3 for)

I was wondering what others are looking forward to getting.

well for upcoming games i have to say aren't worth the $60 price tag are Assassins Creed Revelations and thats pretty much the only one Halo is only 40 so i guess thats good.

Im gonna hold out on uncharted 3, batman arkham city and deus ex till they come down in price
But I will most likely buy Skyrim and Gears3 brand new

Uncharted 3 and Skyrim, that's probably it before christmas, I have all the other games I want.

I'm pretty sure Crysis 2 isn't on steam anymore. I think it got taken off and was put on origin so you have to download that launcher if you want to play it on pc dude.

don't you people have discounts in shops? I'm pretty sure I can get most of those games for that price...

InFamous 2
ICO collection
Dark Souls
Catherine
Uncharted 3
AC:R

Wow, that's a lot...

Why not just wait a few weeks and it will get discounted? Well well gamestop will be happy.....

Hoping for future buy 2 get 1 free deals to include all holiday titles and get batman AC, Skyrim, and MW3, and sell MW3 new for around $55 on ebay or to a friend. If MW3 ends up not being offered in these deals and sadly it probably won't. I'll buy Skyrim full price and try to get Batman for $30 used.

Will get the following games when I can find them for under $20 used which I think will happen before the end of the year.

Professor Layton

Ratched and Clank 

Dark Souls

Will get the following games if I can somehow find them for under $10 used which probably won't happen.

Uncharted 3

Resistance 3

LA NOIRE

Will get Dues Ex, Rage, and Dead Island when they eventually go on sale for 5$-10$ on steam. I would be willing to pay more for them but since its almost guaranteed they will eventually go for that little in some random steam sale, I can't in good concience pay $20-$30 each for them.

Uncharted 3 $60 (It's in the mail)
Sonic Generations PS3 $30 or PC $0
Skyrim $30
MGS Collection $35
