All of the above since I buy games at any random order, but the game has to be real good for me to pay full price.

i always buy new ones beacause if its at another one it could be brokeng some way or by sale they are almost the 90 :laugh:so i buy brand news because they are non brokeng and they are at -00 so they would be the best.

most of the time i buy them when tehy are fairly old and on sale.. but recently ive been buying them on their release date at FULL price.. however more recently i am exploring the option of importing, as we usually get delayed release dates as compared to japan and the USA here. so i would get the game earlier, and at a cheaper price. now if only all consoles were region free :laugh:

I'd say that i do all of them, Used games have been some of the best purchases I've ever made. Like some of the "Old" games that are nearly impossible to find new anymore, FF 7-9 come to mind here. But with new releases I do tend to buy them new simply because I'm not patient enough to wait until someone returns theirs for a Used game lol.

New, or used (as most 6th generation games are atm). I don't buy games all that often though (still at school, do not have a part time job, getting there). I have bought Burning Crusade, Twilight Princess, Diablo, and Knights Of The Old Republic 2 so far this year. Alot of games i want to get though lol.

I do all of the above. The release dates don't matter when I buy a game. If it's good I'll get it as soon as I'm able. Sometimes I'm too poor, or sometimes I forget. =/
