Forums - Gaming Discussion - Have you ever bought a Game before its Console??

No. It doesn't make much sense because the game could be cheaper when you buy the console. I guess in the same token the game could be more expensive if it becomes rare but thats highly unlikely in the same console generation.

I bought Red Steel before Wiis could even technically be owned. Of course, I got my Wii later that night at midnight launch, but for 6 hours I owned Red Steel without a Wii.



Hmmm... haven't actually done that... yet.



Dragon Quest VIII and FFXII Collectors Edition before I had a PS2, I bought them for my collection, played them later



''Hadouken!''

I bought Twilight Princess and Red Steel a week or so before I got my Wii.. Try to guess which one I played to the end and the one which sucked and was promptly exchanged.

40 odd Ps2 games before I owned a ps2
4 Wii games, same deal
I do it a lot.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

I actually bought LoZ:TP before the console was released. The game was being sold a week before the Wii came out and I snatched that bad boy up like it was the last copy on earth.

 Similar story--my EB had a bunch of 360 games out a couple of weeks before launch.  The only one I was interested in was Kameo (yes, I said it--it's a damn fun game!)

 

Also, my brother bought NHL 2000 in anticipation of getting a PS2 for Christmas that year.

Finally, this is slightly different, but I had a PS3 for several months before buying a game for it XD



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
