I bet the ppl who don't buy used games here are either rich or modding their console.

 

At least in my case...........no and no.

Me. The only games I've ever bought used were DBZ: Budokia 2 (on accident) and MGS (new is like $150!).

I've bought tons of used GC games. All have been in great/new condition and less than 50% the original price.

The question should really be "Who never gets ripped off by Gamestop?" since no one here seems to realize that there are other places with used games besides them. -_-

I rarely buy new games. Half.ebay.com ftw.

I always try to buy my games new, (@spidey_77) and its not because I'm rich or modding I think its because Im OCD. But with that being said, I still buy many NES games so I have to get those used

 

@CDiablo - I agree with you 100% I hate having the players choice titles I have to have my games all look the same (again my OCD)

 

@Mike_Intellivison - Have you ever tried Vintage Games on High Street?...It's a nice family owned place to get used games

No one saw that.

 Nope. I am well off enough to enjoy the hobby but not very well off at all. I believe in trying to directly support developers as much as possible though. Drom the stand point of the developer/publisher a used game sale is as good as a pirated game.

My point exactly. Why buy used games. I mean if your buying used games might as well mod ur system.

I'll happily buy used games, as long as there is a reasonable saving off new.



I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.

I´m happy buying used and new games at gamestop or ebgames (they r the same now, sadly). I never had problems with used game´s, only once when i bought nba live 03 for $2.99, that was really cheap so i expected to be damage, but otherwise i get rare games like yu yu hakusho: dark tournament for $9.99 at dimple and barely used, in the box the original plastic when you buy a new game still there. Again in dimple i bought zone of the enders for $4.99 in great condition, barely played.
