What's the next game you'll pay 49.99 for?

[kaw]

With new releases dropping 10-20 dollars just weeks after their release, along with games dropping to ridiculous prices like 4.99. What, if any, current release or future release will you pony over 49.99 for?

[guyver2077]

wwe day of reckoning
rainbow six 3 black arrow
halo 2

[Sartori]

Resident Evil 4.

[kev]

The only game that I see myself paying full price for is Halo 2 and that's only because I want two copies so we can play LAN.

Everything else I just get through Gamefly for awhile and then buy it when the price drops if it's worth it.

[Cornfedwb]

Halo 2, Doom 3, Sudeki, FFXII, Star Ocean 3

[xspeedracerx]

Fable, if it gets good reviews. If not halo 2, or doom 3.

[jalu6]

halo 2, res evil 4, doom 3 and ratchet and clank 3

[uesc]

Xbox:
Burnout 3
Halo 2
Bloodrayne 2 (don't ask)

PC:
Doom 3
Half-Life 2
maybe WOW, but i'm not sure about that, i mean look at ever quest now... don't they give those discs away for free?

[Vampire Hunter D]

San Andres of course. But if i dont get it right away for some reason Christmas definatly im gettin it. Itll be 50 for a while. That Burnout 3 looks awesome. I have a small list of games im getting no matter what is GTA San Andres Burn Out 3 and Midway Arcade Treasures 2. Of course some reviews can be suprising.

[ZForce915]

You silly bastards. You'll never have to pay $50 for a game as long as the GGC exsists!

[D4rkewolfe]

You know what sucks, I went to one of the BB in Miami, and no GGC in sight. I was like dissapointed. Anyways, I won't pay 49.99 bucks, but most likely 39.99 for the next game. That would be Viewtiful Joe 2.

I am getting a gift card from BB for $50, I might use that for Four Swords, since I played it with my friends and we had a great time. Then again, the card was free, so it's not like I really paid the 50 bucks.

[sadunclesnugglez]

Fable
Halo 2
Maybe Doom 3

[Danimal]

GTA: San Andreas.

And ZForce915 is right- I'll be getting it for $45 with the GGC. That's it for me, though, at least until whenever the next Soul Calibur comes out. Besides those two, EVERYTHING else I can wait for the price to go down.

[GuilewasNK]

Halo 2
Madden 2005
ESPN NBA 2K5 (if thats the price)

The reason why all these prices are coming down is because the market is over-saturated with games. There's just too many release coming out that aren't good enough to charge $49.99. I wouldn't be surprised to see most new releases come in at $39.99 soon.

I paid $69.99 for a new Tales of Destiny II this week.

[mario23air]

Halo 2

[javeryh]

Metroid Prime 2

[alongx]

There's a lot of games I'd want to get when they first come out for $49.99, such as GTA: SA, Halo 2, Fable, Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario, etc, but I am going to try to wait however long it takes for each of these to get below the $29.99 mark.

There's only 2 games I plan on buying in the future that I'll pay $49.99 for: Phantom Brave and Donkey Konga. And that's because I don't see either of those dropping in price ever, unless there's some fluke Target deal again with PB.

[BigLebowski]

Sudeki, Fable... the usual suspects.

[Kaijufan]

Halo 2, Knights of the Old Republic 2, Jade Empire, Godzilla: Save the Earth, Fable.

[magilacudy]

Halo 2.

[gamefreak117]

Halo 2.

Maybe if I just preorder it, and get a lil deal...

[StealthyTofu]

metal gear solid 3 of course.

[Ledhed]

DooM 3.

... oh wait, I'll be paying $55 for that one.

[rebenns]

Halo 2, Fable, Half Life 2, Doom 3, GTA San Andreas, Dead or Alive Ultimate.

[SoulEdgeVII]

Picked up Tales of Symphonia yesterday which was the first $49.99 game I've bought since Soul Calibur II. Resident Evil 4 looks like it'll be the next one with Prince of Persia 2 and Starcraft : Ghost as big contenders too.

[coolcps]

Ill pay like 80$ for hl2 collectors and 55$ or whatever for halo 2 collectors. GTA SA and MP2 will also make me drop full price, though Fry's usually has a deal on release and I PM it to CC.

[DiscoDuck8k]

GTA: SA, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 4 and Halo 2.. simply cause I can't wait around for the prices to drop. Been awaiting all of 'em for so long, I think I'd go insane if I didn't pick them up right on release.

[deathcabforcutie]

halo 2 is about it...

btw, does anyone have the date those BB xbox live $5off coupons expire? cuz im hoping they will still be valid for Halo 2... maybe then i can cobine with a GGC or a PM.

[SS4Brolly]

NBA Street 3

[Lizard Axe]

Star Ocean 3, Phantom Brave, and Mega Man Command Mission. I'm going to be so broke in August/September.

[Gameboy415]

RE4, Paper Mario 2, Metroid Prime 2, Guilty Gear Isuka (might be $40 tho), KOF 2002/2003, KOF Maximum Impact, Capcom Fighting Jam, Xenosaga 2, and I'm sure like 8 more.

Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge up some more GGC's by this fall. I only have 2 left.

[Maxwell31]

ZIP, ZERO, NADA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[valance]

the new GTA and WoW. those are the only games i can't wait a month or so extra for.

[PrinceNeil]

Is it even possible with the GGC from BB?

[BLarR]

Fable, Halo 2, Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines

[tyecko]

Madden 2005, Pikmin 2, Metroid 2, RE4, Donkey Konga, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario 2, metal slug advance, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap .

[dpatel]

metal gear solid 3 of course.

man.. I thought I was the only one here who would say that. I am definetly getting that ASAP too. Thats probably the only one. There are other great games (Viewtiful joe 2, monster hunter, killzone, mortal kombat, TMNT2 , Gran Turismo 4, Metroid Prime 2, etc..) I just don't have enough money to buy them all.

[flybrione]

I'm always looking for a deal myself I just picked up NCCA 05 for Xbox for $34.99 and Tales of Syphonia for $39.00 with Price match from the new Fry's Electronics that opened up in Illinois.

The Next games I'll pay full price for would be Star Wars Battlefront, Fable, Rainbow Six Black Arrow for Xbox and Hot Shots Golf Fore and Gradius V for PS2. Finally WWE Day of Reckoning for Gamecube. But I'll be on the lookout for sales when they come out trying to get some kind of deal or pricematch.

[hertzy]

Halo 2
Fable
The next Ghost Recon and Mech Assault 2

[yogi99]

Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean 3 Til the End of Time, Dynasty Warriors 5 (if it ever get released), and Bujingai.

[asaraa]

Trying to hold out for TOS, (c'mon Target or Circuit City!).

Other than that, Metroid 2 or Tiger Woods 2005

[jimbodan]

It's looking I'll be paying full price (well minus the 5$ GGC) for San Andreas. That game just looks too cool to wait for, plus I've loved the other GTA's with the exception of GTA2, so there's a very good chance this one will be good too.

[xion]

My next buys are Fable and Halo 2. But if the TRU sale starts(buy 2 get 1 free) soon I'll buy a lot of games like Riddick, FSW, Sudeki, Paper Mario etc.

[redrobot]

San Andreas for sure, I might consider Fable for 50 dolla

[wookieballz]

The next project from the ICO team.

[Graystone]

gta san andreas
wwe smackdown (new one coming in fall?)
res evil 4

[boyward]

Metroid Prime 2 and Halo 2. I have some Walmart gift cards earmarked for these games.

[mousin]

the new GTA, and halo 2

[basketkase543]

Burnout 3, Fable

[goldengraham]

I have not spent $50 on a game in about a year, and don't plan to for another year, with one exception. Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal. It was the last game I paid ufll price ($40) for and the only one I will spend full price on. Even though I don't have my PS2 anymore, I will go borrow a friends and play it most likely straight unti lI unlock everythign and destroy the game.

[Mr. Anderson]

Doom 3
Fable
Burnout 3

[King Bahamut]

Tales of Symphonia, it's well worth it *hint*all RPG fans should DEFINITELY buy it!*hint*

[hiccupleftovers]

Halo 2 just because I wanna see if they live up to the hype. Because the first one, though it was monotonous, wasn't that bad and they had a lot of room for improvement. I hope the second isn't just more of the same with a little touch here and there and online play.

Knights of the Old Republic 2- The first one was just amazing and is one of my top 5 RPGs of all time. I mean it brought together Pc RPGs on a console almost flawlessly which had never been done. it also brought the western RPG with Eastern RPG together. And from what i have heard and read it might be more of the same, I want that mroe of the same.

Jade Empire- Anything mad eby Bioware now will catch my attention. Those games are truly great developers and designers.

Metroid Prime 2 because the first one was a nearly flawless interpretation of the 2d sidescrolling adventure games. Not to mention it is one of my favorite video game series.

Doom3, what more can I say. this one will definently be good. i have zero doubts whatsoever unlike what I have with Halo 2.

And Last but not least Paper Mario2. I have loved every game that has been in this series, Super Mario RPG, Mario and Luigi, and the original. It's just a great game with great dynamics.

[ex0]

Knights of the old Republic almost flawless? Can't say I've heard that before. Anyway, the next game I shell out the big bucks for will be San Andreas. Considering there is a Fry's near me though it will be 34.99-39.99.

[ElwoodCuse]

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. But if I can find one at Best Buy for $10 cheaper in a few days like I did with Vice City, I might buy it again and return my new sealed $40 copy to EB.

[cag1000]

the next game that comes out that can cook me food and can unwrap itself

[Thunderscope]

Doom 3

[rickc25]

Definately Gran Turismo 4. Been waiting a long time for that one.

[Explosion]

grand theft auto: san andreas is the next game i will be paying any price for

[Mospeada_21]

Last Time paid full price? LoZ:Wind Waker w/OoT bonus disc; near release date. (Yes, very happy, still to this day, best deal)

Next Time paying full price? No more. With the price drops, high competition, price matching, discounts, coupons, GGC, trade-ins, and rebates + more. Why?

If you pay less, you can own more. But to each his/her own = happiness.

[SupremeNumNuts]

Halo 2
Fable
Doom 3
Half Life 2
Hot Shots Golf Fore
Mario Tennis
Resident Evil 4
Ninja Gaiden (ya I know)
GTA Double Pack
DOA Ultimate

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Madden 2005
Halo 2
Resident Evil 4
The next Zelda game
Metroid Prime 2
Baten Katos
possibly Fable

4 months ago you could've added Sudeki to that list, but since playing the demo I've changed my mind it would seem.

[BigDirty]

If another Wipeout comes along the line, I'll spring the $50 on it (except the PSP one, since I don't plan on getting one of those out of the box).

Other new games that I enjoy rarely come out at a full $50, since codemasters has dropped the MSRP of their racing games to $20-$30, and Serious Sam has only been a $50 game briefly (November 2002 for XBox, every other edition has been $20), so it's rare that I pay $40+ ever.

[ZarathosNY]

That's easy...NONE. I don't think I have ever paid more than $25 for a game. I don't need to have a game when it first comes out, and I have such a backlog of games from all the deals that I have gotten from this site, I can easily wait for the price of a game to drop down to the $20 level.

[fashoinfightpause]

uh my friend steal gets games for like dritributer prices? i dunno. but yeah its 25 bucks for any game. and the only time i'd spend 50 bucks is if it was one of the older rarer games that i really want to play,

[Snake2715]

The way its shaping up is this unless a review or few reviews come through or I play a finished demo and decide otherwise.

Doom3

Paper Mario 2
&
Resident Evil 4 (already on preorder)

[bvaldez]

Madden 2005, if my brother gets it too.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

I forgot Metal Gear Solid 3

[Rodimus]

I'd pay $49.99 for KOF Max Impact, but it's probably gonna sell for $39.99. Yeah I win.

[sshirhall]

The Punisher. Can't wait to shove a guy in a wood chipper.

[epobirs]

Nothing, ever again.

In twenty+ years I've paid full retail fewer than a dozen times but I've gotten every game I've ever sesired. I have no compulsion to play a game immediately upon release and have enough of a backlog to keep me busy for years. I may skip all of the next generation hardware until it's seen at least two major price drops and a good starting library can be had at the prices I regard as correct.

[DOMINATOR912]

Day of Reckoning
Smackdown! vs Raw
GTA: SA
Madden 2005 (might get Collectors Edition)
Doom 3

[tenzor]

DOOM 3 for PC, and Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow (40 bucks)...both of them come out the same day.

[Dr Mario Kart]

Xenosaga Episode 2 if it comes with an artbook

[mmn]

Halo 2 Limited Edition.

That's about the only one I can think of.

[locutus411]

Guild Wars for PC. MMORPG-ish gameplay with no monthly fee = awesome. I imagine I will also be picking up the Nintendo DS and a couple of DS games on launch day. My wallet hurts just thinking about it but I can't say no!

Paper Mario and and Donkey Konga will also be strong contenders, but I guess that is what Christmas is for.

[biggestinuyashafan]

GTA:San Andreas

[BatStrike]

The next full price purchases I plan to make are
Burnout 3
DOOM 3
HALO 3
and possibly
Goldeneye 2

[jaybird]

Halo 2 LE.

[b3b0p]

Pretty much anything 1st party Nintendo (Mario, Donky Kong, Animal Crossing, Metroid, Zelda, etc...)

If ever released (if you guys call!) Mother 1+2 and Mother 3.


Chris

[FriskyTanuki]

Madden 2005 Collector's Edition

[DigitalSpace]

I've never paid $49.99 for a game, but GTA San Andreas just might be the first...

[Mr_hockey66]

I was going to say none.

Then I membered

halo 2
fable
knights of the old repub 2
grand thef auto

[fathoms]

Believe it or not, Hot Shots Golf: Fore! I love that series to death. :)

After that, maybe Star Oean: 'Til the End of Time. I can wait on Madden 2005; 2004 is plenty good enough to tide me over until the price drops a bit. Later on, I'll probably end up paying full pop for GTA: SA, Suikoden IV, Halo 2, and GT 4.

[LinkinA]

never :D

[dtcarson]

I buy very few games full price, I rarely 'need' anything immediately after release, and even if I do, I try to use a coupon or gift card or something so 'my' cost is less [I did buy karoake revolution full price, but that was for the missus.]
If anything, R&C 3, but I haven't even gotten R&C 2 yet
Like epobirs, I've got enough games that I jhaven't finished or haven't even started yet, that I'm not really hurting for anything to play [although sometimes the 'gotta buy something!' bug does hit, it'll probably be on a catalog title].

[mernst23]

Halo 2, Half-Life 2, and RE4

[mariomarino]

paper mario 2

[ksuwild25]

Halo 2 Collector's Edition - Already had 49.99 paid for thanks to the 4 for 1 trade-in and the cheap 4.99 Circuit City games had back in the winter time, and I paid the extra money it cost to switch over whenever I stopped by EB.

Fable - same as Halo 2, but without the extra money business since it's only 49.99.

Star Wars KOTOR 2 - definitely looks like the same old fun that KOTOR was, but with extra stuff.

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders - I loved the Dynasty Warriors series back on the ps2, but this looks so much better and seems to provide a whole lot more. I'll be picking this up at Gamerush for 39.99 or 29.99 if they keep their trade-in any game and get $10 off.

Resident Evil 4 - The RE series is the only thing I like so far about the GC (disliked VJ, Pikmin, SSBM, Eternal Darkness, and Skies of Arcadia), but the RE series is the reason why I picked up the GC for 99.99 in the first place and the 2 exclusive RE's were not letdowns so I'm not disappointed in the GC. RE 4 will probably determine for me if the Gamecube was worth it or not.

The xbox versions of Doom 3, Farcry, Star Wars Republic Commando, Silent Hill 4, Advent Rising, + other games I'll decide when they get closer to come out, or when they are out and see what many others think about them.

I have tons of Gamerush credit (about over $400 as of now) I've been saving up for future games.

[crazytalkx]

Halo 2=LAN marathon 'nuff said

[x0thedeadzone0x]

GTA: SA, Paper Mario 2, The Sims 2,

I'd put Half-Life 2 on there but my computer is a POS so I highly doubt it'll run it :(

And I'll wait until the others are 40$ or less before buying them but those I need around/at launch.

[AdamInPlaidum]

I'll pay $50 (aka $45) for Day of Reckoning on Cube. Other than that. I don't really know. I'm waiting for ToS to drop to 30 for Christmas (I hope).

[dracula]

Ys VI ark of napishtim. I have read through this list, and while phantom brave and a few others might tempt me(donkey konga, halo 2) i will have to stick with Ys VI ark of napishtim.

[xzafixz]

Phantom Brave and Fable, perhaps DOA: Ultimate if i can find the supposed collectors set with the deck of cards.

[AlbinoNinja]

Viewtiful Joe (PS2) I've been waiting for that for so damn long. And possibly Star Ocean (huge fan of second story)
Now that I'm working at my dad's construction company, shelling out 50 clams for a new game doesn't seem that gut wrenching

[KurtCobain]

Fable, Halo 2 LE, and GTA SA.

[Scorch]

Viewtiful Joe (PS2) I've been waiting for that for so damn long.

MSRP on VJ for PS2 is 29.99..

There's a few on my list..

Fable, Halo 2 ($55 for the limited edition).. and.. uh.. that's about it. MAYBE X-Men Legends.

[JohnnyDrama]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, maybe Star Ocean 3

[AzianAsspicker]

uhm hopefully when rainbow six black arrow comes out it will be 27.99 at fry's I HOPE. well I'll probably spend 50 bux on nfs underground 2, gran turismo 4 and prolly not HL2 because I don't wanna get a new videocard.

[BlueStorm781]

Definitley Burnout 3, as I have been waiting for this one for quite some time. I don't mind paying $50 for a game that I know I'll be playing for a long time. I would also pay full price for Metroid Prime 2 and Gran Turismo 4. GT4 is one that I have been waiting on since it was announced, so that's a definite "must have" for me. I usually don't pay full cost for PS2 games, but GT4 is an exception. I paid full price for both Burnout 2 and Metroid Prime when they debuted, so I have no problem paying the full cost for the sequels. Yeah, my wallet may be hurting this fall and winter season, but it will hurt oh-so-good.

[scott123456]

Halo 2

[bhfgamer]

Games like GTA: San Andreas, Halo 2, and Fable, huge games that won't see a 30 dollar price drop a month after release. i.e. Castlevania LoI

[Arakias]

I think I'll go to Walmart and that way a new release is $49.87. Hows that for cheap ass purchasing?

(by the way, I despise Walmart).

But Donkey Konga might be the only game I'd consider since it comes with the Bongos/Kongas.
