Do you always buy new or used or you in between?
 
I rarely buy games brand new. Perhaps one game per year if i'm honest. I tend to go pre-owned as I know what i'm like with games. I'll play them for a set amount of time then get bored with them, so it's the cheaper option  :thumbsup:
 
Mine is 50%.

I Buy all my new releases brand new but I still get all my older games that I just want to play used from a local gaming store.
 
I never buy new. I don't have the income for it. Besides, why pay 80$ for a game I can beat in 12 hours and never touch again. I support the developers, but its just too much money to throw around for new games all the time. Now, if its a game like CoD or something that has a LOT of replay value and such, then yes. I will buy it new. I bought GTA5 brand new and I don't regret it too much, though I have no friends online to play with in it anymore -_-'
 
I would only buy a game new if it just came out that week, if it is like a month old however depending if the saving would be worth it I'd buy used.
 
When I am looking to buy a game from a store. If I need the dlc that the game comes with the game, then I'll buy the game brand new.
 
I always buy everything new. That way tge developers and publishers get their cut. I believe in supporting the things I love.

The people who make games get no money whether you pirate a game or buy it used.
 
I have 75% used games simply because I've never had a problem buying used games except when there's only a 1-time activation of a game's online gaming feature, and the previous owner activated it (SR the IV) otherwise, I like saving money.
 
I am 50/50 if its a new game and I cant wait for it I buy it new. If I think its not going to be that great and I still want to play it I buy it used. I had over 100 PS3/360 games last gen I saved a ton of money buying my games like that.

I dont think that I have ever bought a used game before because to me I just don't think that it makes sense. I always like the feeling of tearing of the wrapper on a freshly bought video game. It just gives me this feeling of being complete say what you want but there is simply no better feeling to me then the feeling of opening up a freshly bought video game.
 
I usually just buy my games brand new as much as possible because I'm paranoid that the used disc I'll be buying might have some minor damage that will cause me problems later on, but I still buy them if they are cheap enough. I do still get a lot of used games, though, I just get them from my friends, however, and we mostly just do trades. This way, I know who to go after should I find out that my product is damaged, and we all at least get to have as much variety as possible without having to spend a lot.
 
Most of mine are used, pre-owned games don't bother me unless they are scratched up of course. The are definitely cheaper which makes them worth it already.
 
About 60% are used. There aren't that many new games I'm interested in, while there are many old classics and obscure RPGs that I'd rather get.
