New, if I hear about a good game I go out and buy it, but sometimes I buy used games at EBgames if I see a game I like because usually they are on for cheap.

It depends. If it's a game I want like a new final fantasy, then i'll buy the game full price. If it's a game I would enjoy but i'm not too desparate to get it immediatly, like a new ridge racer, then i'll just wait until it's on sale. I don't buy any preowned games for some reason

I often buy used games, as they are cheaper by several times. I'm a student, so I don't have much money to by new games at their full price. I'll usually wait till like several months or years to buy the games on auction sites.

If it's a really awesome game and I want to keep the creator in business I'll buy the game, if it's a game I want to try out I'll just dl it and burn it.

I buy my games mixed. Some I buy if they are low priced, or I buy used if I'm not able to find them new. For my imports, I buy them online, new, best editions, and if they are older games, used but in good shape. I buy sometimes at gamestop for used games, and sometimes for new ones if I can't find them at Walmart... But, mostly I buy from Gamestop, for games out in english, and online for Imports, since there are no game store that carry imported games around where I live.

Back when they used to be cheap, I'd buy them at full price when they came out new. Nowadays, I have to buy them used because they're around $50 when they first come out -.-

Well of course usually the games that are out of production you usually have to buy used. I do buy the occasional brand new game, but only if its a title I have really been anticipating, and I cant wait to buy it used, or I have money (and that not often:( ) Most of the time I just buy them used, Im not OCD or anything so as long has it works and comes with a case I'm set.

I mostly buy games used or on sale. Rarely buy anything new unless I've been looking forward to it for a while.
