So, how do you buy games? Do you get them used? On sale? New at the full price? Or all of them?I have to say, I've done all of them, although I lean more towards trying to get them on sale. I don't particularly like getting them used, so I hardly ever get used games.So, how about you?
How do you buy games?

generally either on sale or used, I sometimes (very rarely) but new ones, like I really wanted pokemon mystery dungeon and so I bought that one new, the day it came out

I voted all of the above, because in general, when I walk into a Gamestop, EB games, Blockbuster or where ever, I tend to migrate towards the used games/sale games section. However, if its a series I follow or really like, I'll buy it new, or even pre-order and pick it up as soon as it comes out. (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Ultimate Spider-man, soon to add to the list Halo 3, hoo-rah).

It's around 50/50. I only buy used games if they're cheap and it's at a good price.

If I really want a game I buy it how I get it, it doesn't matter.

I don't like to buy used games because they always break and then I have to exchange it for a new one.

I just go for whatever. If I see a game I like the look of, I'll buy it regardless of it being new/half-price or whatever.

i just buy them whatever. whether new, pre owned or just cheap! if its the game i want ill get it. pre owned games will usually always work its not as if they'll sell games that dont work, so i dont see the point in not wanting to buy pre owned games.

I order them online. They tend to be cheaper that way.
