Jayson Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Which do you buy? Do you buy both? What motivates you to buy a certain way? Myself, I used to buy used mostly due to the price, but occasionally I'd buy something new - if it was something I really liked especially.
Patrik Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 back when games discs were a thing, i always went for new ones as they surely got more lifespan and less damaged, those things were really fragile to handle, so new was always the best decision! Family sedan 1
Darth Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 I used to buy used games for the Xbox 360 because I was slightly late in getting it so some of my favourite games had already come out. But with my recent consoles, I've stuck to buying new games because I tend to get that at launch most of the time.
Justin11 Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 For my PS3 I don't buy CD games anymore, but when I was buying I prefer used, because I swap with other PS3 gamers. Which doesn't cost a dime, it depends on the agreement we had, at times I balance the other gamer some money to have his CD, and same too for me at times. Family sedan 1
Head_Hunter Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 It is hard to get a used PS4 games on any local store here in my country, because that's where you'll get it to buy. Most games I have are brand new, I'm open to buying used and clean video games. Family sedan 1

When I want to play a game that just came out, I will buy the new game as longas it is affordable. However, I always look out for used games to buy as that is the way I get to save cost playing the games that I like. Family sedan 1
Boblee Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Personally, I don't have any need for a used game. I can very well afford my games anew unless I feel like helping out a friend with the used game.

Current gen i always buy new, if i don't want to pay full price, i just wait until it drops in price and pick up a copy. Most games drop a few months after release. Retro i'll settle with used but only if it's complete and in exellent condition. Edited March 19, 2022 by Yaramaki
The Blackangel Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Being a classic gamer it's almost impossible to find a new game. But for current gen games, I buy whichever I find at the best price. I've bought a lot of used games, and never had any issues with them. I got the first 3 AC games from Gamestop used, for a total of about $4. They have never let me down once. So if I can get a deal like that, why the hell would I look for new copies that by themselves are at least $40 instead?

I desire better video game time, with brand new franchise versions, but at times finance comes begging.
Justin11 Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Not every time I can purchase brand new video games, because the funds aren't steady for me. I don't expect to pay $30-$40 every time I need a new video game for my current PS console. Because, it will wreck me and making me go unexpected bankruptcy.

Buying three games for as low as $4 must be the deal of the day and to cap it all, you got no issues after buying them. I like the part where one can buy used games at an extremely cheaper price too.

Well, it still depends on what type of games the poster likes playing. I will be sceptical about purchasing 3 games for $4, but since it worked for @The Blackangel, it is no big deal.

Empire Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 I prefer digital because I can switch games without having to get up from my seat, and also, I don't have to worry about losing the cards. Aren't like the old days
