StaceyPowers Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 What percentage of games you own do you think you bought used vs. new? Originally, 100% of my game collection was used, but I’ve snapped up so many digital deals online it is now probably around 50/50.
Joshua Farrell Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Most of my games I had previously bought, were new. Most of the games I got second hand, was from my brother upgrading his own consoles, and didn't want to consider backwards compatibility.
The Blackangel Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) The vast majority of my physical games are used. Mainly because it's not very common to see a brand new NES/SNES/N64 game these days. Obviously the games I have that are DDL can't really be counted. I would think the only games that I have that are new would be a few of my PS4 and Xbox One games. And I can probably count them on my fingers. Edited January 3, 2021 by The Blackangel
Family sedan Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 In my teens in the late '90's or early 2000s I would get new. In the last ten years I think I have only gotten used games. I couldn't tell you the percentages though.
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 For my ps3 I get used, for the ps4 I got all new. I don't feel like looking at pics to see if disc is good anymore. And most sellers don't show pics of used disc. I buy online; maybe it's different at GameStop or somewhere you can physically see it. For me, spending an extra few bucks is better than a long drive or dorito disc.
Patrik Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Got all of my Disks and Digital games new, i really needed that as Disks were easy to scratch, so buying them used doesn't guarantee me a decent experience, and when it comes to Digital games, i prefer also new as it's not easy to trust people online
Withywarlock Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 All of my physical games are used, barring perhaps one or two such as a black label copy of Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer which is falling to pieces, having been lovingly played for over two decades now. But they make up a small percentage of the total games I own, like, less than 5% if we're going by a previous thread where I'd shown my Steam library of over 1700 games, thereabouts. In my life though, used games probably take up a much higher number as they've come and gone numerous times.
m76 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I got one or two games used for the PS3 and PS2, but everything I bought in the last five years was new. I don't have any used games currently as I've sold my game collection with the consoles.
Kane99 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Well most of my current collection of games was from getting them used at places. I got many from trading sites, and many from online stores used. I also have purchased a lot of them from thrift stores. In the past I would say my collection is made up of games I bought new, but I sold a lot of those games off and I had to rebuild by getting a lot of used games.
killamch89 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I'm mostly new as well - I did buy this used Pokemon game for my Nintendo DS but I can't be bothered to play it. 99%> is digital and it's new
Heatman Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 A higher percentage of my games are all new, let's say 75% to 25% new to old games. I only get old games used games if I really can't afford it new.
