Do you like buying used games?
I only buy used games when it's obvious that buying a game brand new will be stupid expensive or impossible to find like GBA games or Gamecube games. If it's a game from PS3 onwards, I much prefer getting them brand new.
|
I only have one used game in my entire gaming collection from the N64 onwards; Crackdown for the 360.
|
Yes because they're often cheaper. :D Though I'm only buying games these days that are a bit older (GB-DS) so I can't get them new. If it were possible, though, I would: buying a new game fresh from the factory feels very satisfying.
|
I periodically buy used, but I prefer new. Mainly it depends on what game.
|
I almost always buy used, with Pokémon and Legend of Zelda(and more recently Fie Emblem) being my only exceptions. They're usually much cheaper, so as a result my library is a lot bigger than if I had bought everything brand new.
My only caveat is that I prefer to buy used games in the original casing(opened of course, but still present). I refused to buy several copies of Super Mario Bros. Wii because they only came in a generic game case, but I eventually found the one I was looking for, and it was just $30. ^_^ |

And to answer that question, no. The manuals etc. are nice to have, but I mostly like the cases for their aesthetic value on my video game shelf. Having a bunch of unlabeled cases wouldn't look as good. Plus it would be harder to find the game I'm looking to play. xD |
Unless it's a Pokemon game I buy most of my games used, mainly cause it's cheap
I go to Disc Replay (like GameStop but way better) for my GameCube, GBA, and DS games I prefer going to an actual store if I can instead of getting it from eBay because the shipping is usually stupidly expensive and more than the game itself |
I don't mind used games as long as I get the actual box and it's in relatively good condition. There's something about having a box in good condition that's really appealing to me, so if I can get that requirement met then I'm totally ok with used games. I don't particularly mind if download codes/pamphlets are missing, but it's always nice to have them.

When you're into collecting old games like I am, there's really no choice unless you got money to spare. Current stuff is mostly new as I tend to pick up the games I want on release day.

For instance I own all three of the original Megaman X games on SNES and all of them are $50 and up (2 and 3 actually being over $100,) yet you can get Super Mario Bros for around $5. |
I collect N64 stuff, so yeah I love buying used :P
Newer releases are mostly new though. |
If the used game is much cheaper than I'd buy it without hesitation. Most of my games are new though as the price difference isn't much.

i don't mind buying used games as long as they're in good condition and go for a lot cheaper than the original price. i have a lot of used games in my collection haha

Speaking of video game conditions, don't you hate it when you buy a game brand new and you see a slight dent or cut in the case? If only the plastic wrapping provided sturdy protection lol

Usually, the most expensive games aren't the ones you'd expect.. :P |
I hate buying used. I only do it if I really have to. especially disc games, as there's probably a few scratches or fingerprints or whatever. luckily I was able to find a new copy of Xenoblade chronicles :D
|
My {3DS is actually a used or a barely used one that i bought from a friend not too long ago so with my 3Ds library i have a bunch of used games on it, including some NDS ones that some friends handed over. Bravely Default is currently one of my used copies and im goad that a friend was kind enough to at least sell it for peanuts cheap.
|
I have no problem buying used games as long as it comes in the original packaging. I got FIFA 16 used on Amazon and it came in a CD case and I wasn't a happy camper.
|
Only if I can make them feel new. I like my cases to look pristine and my discs to work, at the very least. Give me those two things and a price and we'll be gold.
