Have it ready and got it ordred to get it right off the bat?

Buy it when it hits the markets?

Wait to get one price drop from it?

Or wait intel it's cheap like 29.99 to 9.99 or lower?

Well, I guess it depends on the game, unless I know I want it. God knows I have been there for all the big time gaming midnight releases, and Halo Reach is no exception. Too bad my local Game Crazy is shutting down -cries-. I was getting all my Halo games from them since Halo 2

Definitly the Midnight Release guy. God knows how many scolds ar work have I gotten by being THE first in line for a midnight release with everything already paid out and then not going to work, driving like a maniac to my house to play it.

The $60 price tag that most games retail for, to me, are simply not worth it. Most of that money goes into the hands of some greedy publisher (Activision *cough*) and I don't like the direction those assholes are leading the industry.

I mostly focus on emulators and the Old School gaming community. Back when innovation wasn't considered a 'dirty' word.

If there is a pre-order bonus that I really like then I'll order it otherwise I just wait till it hits the stores.

Depends if I know if I really want it. and I mean really want it. for almost all games I will wait until the price drops and then buy used (unless new is $5 more.)

I hate having to pay $60 a game.

Depending on the game. Ill pre-order if ive been waiting for it for awhile. Buy it new if I know it will be good. Used if I like it, but dont care if I lose it. Rent, if I just want to try it.
