I always wait, but thats just me.Think about what you got out of those 3 months. If you are rank 1 in halo 3, then its a pretty good trade-off, since you have to play a lot.But if you play halo when you're bored because theres nothing else to do, then wait every time.dl;drIf you're into competitive gaming, get it when it comes out, otherwise, wait.

i agree with you on the whole competitive gaming idea, and yes i can see where your coming from , im not a very patient person when it comes to getting new games but you can save a massive fortune in a year by just waiting 6 months , i think thats awesome

Depends on what it is.For games, if it's JRPGs or collector edition stuff, I usually get it first one way or another.For games that will drop in value for sure (CoD, Uncharted, Mario, etc), I simply wait it out until they drop.As for hardware, I always wait. Electronics are the biggest waste of money there is, as its value drastically drops by the next year due to new technology that comes out.
DESPAIR!

buying it right away is just foolish. i like to wait a while until the price comes down and they work all the bugs out.

Don't see why people buy this junk the moment it comes out... Like phones, i know people who spend £100s on the newest phone and just pretty much throw the other one away. All that changes between the 2 is really there looks and nothing else.Im perfectly happy with my like 5 year old phone, it makes calls and plays music, what else can i want?

If it's something you really want, I would save up and wouldn't wait. But the price will always go down, not up! Even apple products go down in price.

I never wait. They way I see it I can play it and then sell it later. As long as I use it enough to make it worth the price, its all good

I always wait. I realize it's not for everybody, and I envy the h*** out of everyone that have the new devices before me, but ultimately I'll live. Besides, oftentimes the devices are outdated by the time they go low enough in price for me to afford them and an alternative has come along.

I always wait. I think many people buy these things when they first come out to show off. I'm no show off. I wait for the prices to go down and than I'll purchase it. The PS2 is finally $250, so I think it's time for me to finally buy one.

It generally doesn't matter to me if I get new tech as it comes out or a year or in a few month's time. That being said, I really need a new computer, I just focus on..... Other technology.

After a month or two the prices usually drop and its not really that dated, worth waiting imo.

I will wait till sales unless i really want it. Usually i do have a lot of patient so i can wait for games or new computer parts to go down in price.
