You see an interesting game on sale and tell yourself, "Yeah I'll probably get that soon." -years go by and you've yet to get it. Now it's either rare, expensive, or both. Has this situation ever happened to you? If so, which game?

For me the game in question would Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I was around 9 or 10 at the time and always wanted to get it but for whatever reason never did. It was only $20 at the time, nowadays it goes for $50+. I regret never getting it when I could, and I'll probably get it in the not-so-distant future. But that's just one game I wish I had bought earlier when it was cheaper.

The opposite tends to happen to me. I buy the game and put it on the backcatalog. Once i get to it i realised it was boring and i shouldnt have bought it or should have hold off.

For example dragon age inquisition. I havent started it yet, but i bought it at launch. Today theres a discount and its going for 35 euros and i am thinking: Why did i buy it at launch? lol
But, theres vertain games, like this one, that is just know i want to play so i just get them.

I can only really think of one and that's Xenoblade. I could've bought it when it was $50 but I missed out and now will probably have to fork over around double for it.

Shadow Hearts... : ( And Earthbound.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Kid Icarus: Uprising and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Both are relatively expensive now, and although I didn't have knowledge of them when they were released, I still wish I had known of their existence and jumped on it.

Earthbound at launch would have been awesome, the huge box, the book and cart all in one package. Too bad at the time I lived in Europe (where EB never came out until the Wii U) and I was less than a month old.

I was fortunate enough to find a pre-owned copy of KI:U for $40 during Christmas.

I feel you on Radiant Dawn, though. It looks like a really good entry in the Fire Emblem series.

I would say Assassin's Creed 4. I really enjoyed it. But I got such a great deal, I'm happy. Same for Red Dead, Alan Wake, and Fable 2.

:( I had no idea what Earthbound was as a kid, and one of my friends had it and showed it to me, but I thought it looked dumb...
 I guess when you see this, you don't think much of it...
