Do You Buy Used Games?

Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, reader person.

You probably know oodles about us - more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob - and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban ya. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion.

So, our question is:

Do you buy used games?

I'd never buy a new car so why would i buy a new game. The game industry's growing while we in the middle of a recession, and second hand sales have never been stronger, so why would i throw my money away when i can get a 6 month guarantee on the used games i buy.

I never have the newest system so it's often the only way I can find the games that I want. So the answer is YES I do buy used games.

I do buy some games on release, but I also buy them pre-owned too, why wouldn't you? £40-£45 pounds a time is a lot of money!

Yeah of course, I don't know many gamers that don't. It only really seems to be the casual "Wii Fit" and "Brain Training" type users that insist on buying new.

I only buy games used when they are so old that they become difficult to find new, like vintage games, or early last-gen PS2 games.

Me too I only buy used or unless there $19.99 or less new.

I buy new and used, it all depends on how soon after launch I want the game. I bought LBP new.

For every game that I want, I decide on a price. If I want it enough, I buy it new. Otherwise used games are just the thing to meet that price. It just makes sense to me.
