I haven't paid a full $60 for a game in 2 years. I always trade something in and get some money back.

That's pretty much what I do everytime. The only exception is typically NCAA Football if I can get it early.

I''ll keep paying more since I always get the Limited Edition of whatever game I buy.

What about the limited edition version of games make it worth the extra money? It seems like such a waste.

To answer the question, I try to use my Gamefly account as much as possible. If it's a game I know that I'll play for a long time I don't mind dropping $60. If it isn't I make trades or wait for it to get cheap.

I've been only PS3 gaming since June, and so far all that I have is:

- Skate ($27.99 used)
- GTA IV ($49.99 used)

(10% off both those prices as well)

- Rock Band 2 ($110 for the Special Edition)
- SOCOM: Confrontation w/ headset ($40.00, did the buy 2 get 1 free with two of my friends)
- Little Big Planet (Christmas gift)


So no, I haven't paid $60 for a title yet. The only game I plan on doing it for so far is The Show. I don't like paying $60 for games.

Yup! Will do it again when SF4 comes out. And then again when Mass Effect 2 comes out.

Every game that I've bought starting with Mass Effect have had limited editions that were worth the money, except for Fable II. The reason the Fable II one was bad was because they took out all the things that they had in it when I bought the limited edition. The Street Fighter IV, which is the next game I'm buying, limited edition has more than enough to justify the price.

Only paid $60 once, Madden 08. I now have 14 games and they've all been $20 or less. I'll never pay $60 again unless I'm getting $40 back in a rebate.

The last game I bought for $60 was probably Call of Duty 4.

Re: Will you keep paying $60 for games?

I think I will continue but I will be a little more patient in doing so. Games that have that ???? pending release I will wait until some feedback comes out. This year or should I say this Current gaming generation IMO have gotten the short end on a lot of unfinished, patch needed games out of the box, which has caused me to feel this way. Peace!!!!

I don't buy games or movies anymore. I just use Netflix and Gamefly.

Re: Will you keep paying $60 for games?

I probably will, but I do not get games like I used to. I probably averaged a new game a month during the PS1 and PS2 life spans. Now I get one or 2 at Christmas time and maybe 1 or 2 throughout the year. A lot of that is finances and a lot is the fact that the games on the horizon just don't catch my attention like game of old.

I don't really mind since I buy maybe two games a year. NHL and the best shooter available for XBOX 360.
