Dead Island Gears of War 3 Batman Arkham City Call of Duty:MW3 Halo: Anniversary Other game(s) that I have interest that would take a day or days.... Battlefield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrosugar Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 When i had a Wii i pretty much picked up every first party Nintendo game on release day. on 360 ive only bought one game on release day (Naruto UNS 2). I also picked up Tekken 6 on the day i got my Xbox(full price $99, a week or two after it came out, obviously i would have picked it up on release day.) Another game i would've picked up on day 1 if i had a 360 at the time is Soulcalibur 4(there may be a few others like most wanted ect). I tried to get afl live on release, but had a few problems with trade ins. got it a couple weeks later. So pretty much: release day for the wii, and barring some exceptions i generally pick games up a while after they come out on 360.(though sometimes its just me catching up from games that came out before dec 2009).

RufftyMan Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If it's something I'm really anticipating, I buy it release day. Otherwise I'll wait until a dry spell for games comes around. It's expensive now till Xmas I know that much: This month: Dead Island Gears 3 October: Batman November: Skyrim Halo Saints Row 3 Assassins Creed Rev. They're all day one for me. Mad thing is Novembers are all within a 7 day period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean468 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Depends how badly I want the game I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bekkilyn Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Since I have such a huge backlog of games that are still new to me, I can rarely justify paying full price for a game the day it comes out. I will some special exceptions though. For example, I have Animal Crossing on pre-order for the 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge88isfun Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Games like FIFA and WWE 12 will be day one release buys for me, anything else I usually wait tell christmas. Either that or it depends on the funds available for these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It really depends. Most stuff I want I pre-order from Amazon so I guess I get it on the first day of release if it has that option, otherwise Amazon Prime subscriber + next day shipping for $3.99 FTW! Mainly all the big title, triple A games have release day delivery, but I am guessing games like Otemedius Excellent, and possibly Rise of Nightmares wont have same day delivery, but I'll still buy/pre-order them on release date. Then all other games that I might want, but am not that super interested in getting immediately will be Best Buy pick ups, either during the week of release or a week or 2 later (depending on what sales they have that week as well) Lastly just about all sports titles (aside from Fight Night) I basically refuse to buy unless they are clearance or years after they had been released where I can pick them up for under $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuza Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Any game I really want like dead island gears 3 mw3 warhammer 40k space marine..ill get them on release anything else ill just get from love film on a rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I buy games that I feel hold their value on release (MW, Halo, etc), others I wait a few months. You can find them for cheaper then. Personally, in your list I'd leave Dead Island and Dead Rising for a while, they'll be half the price in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEpic GlitchxX Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I really want Dead Island, Gears of War 3, The new Dead Rising, MW3, Halo CE. All of those together is like $300 ! I don't know what to do! Should I wait until the price goes down? I normally do however this year has so many great comes coming out so close together that its going to be hard to get them all on release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I kind of like getting older games but that's just my personal opinion. Unless I reeeally badly want a game. Then I MIGHT get it on release or wait for a price drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX Rom Xx Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Ive changed a lot in the last couple of years. I used to buy most my games at release, but I didn't play many games total. I now seem to play a lot more games, a lot of them being older games. I'll maybe still buy my usual COD on release date, though Black Ops has put me off a fair bit. I also really want Dead Island. But with a 7 week old baby, I've been buying mostly used/old games this year, mostly due to disposable income. That said, I'm a little reluctant to buy new games, when I know they will be seriously cheap in a few months. Or that I'll barely play it! I've currently got about 20-30 games I've barely played. I bought Dead Space 2 and Dead Rising 2 close to release, I haven't played DR, and barely half way through DS! So whilst i do want new games, I know that it's unlikely I'll play them properly right away.... That said, Dead Island looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only buy games right away I know I'll be playing a lot, otherwise I wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo0ooooooo0ooo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Really just depends. Now gears and skyrim, Im buying those at their midnight releases. But then for example the new halo, or a lot of new arcade games, im waiting to get discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illicit Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I usually pre-order if I really want to play it/support the developers (this year has been crazy for me). The rest I wait for price drops or grab them off of ebay for dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom115 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Never... Only game I will make an exception for is GTA5, if it ever comes. Never pay more than £20 for a game . Depreciation on games is worse than cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noshorts4hobos Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Up until Red Dead Redemption came out I NEVER bought a game new. It was always used, and it was always a good amount of time after it came out so it was pretty cheap. But the older I got, the fact that I had a steady job and decided I didn't have to wait so long to play games I wanted, has caused me to start buying new. RDR was the first game I ever pre-ordered and got on release date, and since then it's what I do for every game that I need RIGHT NOW. Skyrim? I NEED THAT. So it's definitely pre-ordered. Dead Island? I can wait, so I probably won't pre-order and will instead wait for a used copy. It also depends on the bonus stuff you get if you pre-order or buy it new. If it has a sweet outfit, or gun set, then that might be the push I need to make me want to buy it new, or on release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimenried Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 When it comes to release dates the floor becomes open for debate on where the house cash goes. I have to want a game bad, or we both want one, for it to pass muster and make it to the purchase list. Certain exceptions exist (such as Forza 4) where negotiation is bypassed, even if it is only me that wants it!!! Otherwise it's a case of buy it preowned.

GhostFalcon3 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well I normally only get games at christams so it's normally later. Same goes for birthdays as well. The only game thatI brought on the day release was MW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
