Indeed I have bought more than 40 games and cry for the money wasted on more than half of them because of their low interest.I download a few to test, and has I cannot tranfer games in Roms, I download some to play on PC when I pause at work.To be honest downloading is more interesting, it's sounds like an evidence...

Most of the time I buy the games that I play on my DS. The reason that I'm even here really is so that I can play Japanese games that are harder to find. I wonder why I even got it today seeing as I asked for most of the games that I want to play for Christmas.... Ahaha XD

But 2008 is in the past. How is that possible?Anywho, I download games because I simply can't afford to buy them.

I have never bought a real NDS game so that means I download them, at school a couple of friends and I swap DS roms. I like doing that it saves us from downloading games!

I buy games. I have more than 20 DS games, and I always buy them new. I support the good games by buying them.I also have an R4, so I can keep all my games in a small area and also try before I buy. I have good instincts about whether I will like a game but now I can be 100% sure before I buy them.

I have to side with this person. I will buy the games that I put more than a few hours into. Disgaea, Zelda, Tetris are all fantastic games that I borrowed before buying. And I actually did borrow it from my friend :-P Each of them have at least 15 hours of gameplay in them since their purchase.If I could rent the games, I would, but the market isn't out there to rent DS games, so I recently got an R4. The R4 is fantastic, plays my music, movies, and games ... FANTASTIC I TELL YOU! :( Soon as I setup the R4, I "Borrowed" some games I have been looking at, and thank god I did. Would have wasted some serious money if I hadn't. Now I get to support the games that deserve supporting and not the shipoopy ones that only look cool.Another note others bring up, is that buying games you get the manual and box. Those items are awesome to have, not only because its fun to look at and read at times, but for bragging rights as well. Just like I have the SNES Chrono Trigger in box :P

I DOWNLOAD ALL THE QUESTIONABLE GAMES. AND PURCHASE THE WORTHY ONES. IF THE THE QUESTIONABLE ONES ARE WORTHY I'LL USUALLY KEEP THEM ON MY CARD AND IF NOT I'LL DELETE AND SAVE ROOM FOR ANOTHER ONE. I USUALLY WILL LOSE INTEREST WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF GAMEPLAY AND DOWNLOAD ANOTHER!GPs were deducted for this post, please read the rules! - Put me On

I buy them because it's a current console. On the other hand, I don't buy all that many games; just the ones I've been recommended or sometimes just one that looks good. It evens out.

I try to test many games and i don't know why i just do and if i want to test much games i should download them than buy...Cuz with downloads you get many DS's on a short timeI use r4 soo it's easy to put them on my Ds for better testing cuz on emulators you need to use the mouse instead of the stylus and i don't like to play with the mouse

Little of Both, if a game is good and I know I'm gonna enjoy it for the long run. Buy. If not, and I think its not gonna be as good as I'm willing to pay for it. I say screw it. Download, in that case.
