Forums - Gaming Discussion - What and when was your first 'first day purchase?

My first, first day purchase was Crackdown - turned out to be one of the best games this gen so far.  I reserved Halo 3 and picked it up the day it came out (not at midnight).

Resident Evil 2 for the PSone. Spent the entire night playing it.



Now Playing: Crysis 2

Last Finished: BulletStorm

Online IDs: PSN: computermaximus, XBL: computermaximus

Ive never got a game first day. Only systems. I was the first pre-order in town for the wii when it came out so i just showed up like 5 minutes before the store opened. There was like 50 people in line and i think only one other pre-order (the didnt advertise it so not many people knew about them). They only got 5 systems in that shipment so me, the other guy that pre-ordered and 3 people that had been there for like 6 hours got the system. lots of pissed off people.

Also got 2 ps3s the same way at both the EB games in town because, again, nobody knew about the preorders before hand. I sold one online to pay for the other one so i was a happy camper.



No 1st day purchase for me.I am too damn slow. ;)

I believe it was Sonic 2 but that was so long ago I can barely remember. I do remember that every onethat saw the game wanted to play it before we could even take it home.

 Wow, you've never gotten a game with your system?

 

On topic: Majora's mask.  Zelda was the first series I loved enough to actually pay attention to release dates... it would have been OOT but I didn't yet have a 64 when that was released.

 I might have accidentally gotten some before then, but if i did it was not on purpose. 



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

My first and to date only first day purchase has been Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass.



 

 

i have never had a first day purchase.....i am to lazy to do the midnight launch thing and usualy dont get a game till i find it at random....but that changes satuday as i get brawl baby!!!!!!



 

When I had the Xbox, I would always try to get the Bond games the day they came out - I think I succeeded sometimes - so I guess that was my first. I can't wait for Bond in this generation - hopefully this November - but I haven't heard any news.

Edit:

Check that, I found a rumor that a game is in the works to coincide with the movie this autumn.
