It was for the Suffering but since it came with Midway Arcade treasures free didn't feel I just paid $50 just for one game....

40 for Twin Snakes. Before that 40 for Viewtiful Joe, and 50 the day SCII came out

I paid $50 for Rebel Strike.

It seems that every time I pay full price for a game I end up telling myself NEVER to pay full price for a game again.

Ewww i would've never payed 50$ for that thing.
I mean its pretty good. But i payed 29.99 used for it and kinda regret it (i never ever play it!)
Blah.
Full price? Oh, have to be awhile. Even when I splurge I get the used kinds. But i just bought 007 EON about a week ago for 40$ used.

I dont remember the last time I paid full price for a game :shock:
Sadly, this summer and fall there are quite a few new games I want.

R-Type Final, but that was only $29.99 at full price. Last time I paid $50 was for Need For Speed Underground, at Christmas. In fact, that's the only time I've paid $50 for a game in this generation of consoles. :shock:

Not since the xbox came out and I got DOA3, fuzion Frenzy and Halo. $50 each. Umm then Mechassault the day live came out. Then the music mixer, ladies love kareokee! Oh ya, then Carve and Dead Mans Hand, but those two were only $50 together.

I am happy to say that my last full-priced game was Viewtiful Joe on the day it came out. It's kinda hard being a cheap ass some of the time. I really don't like having to think that other people are enjoying my great games when I'm not. I'm hoping I can manage to stay a dedicated CAG come this fall...

Disgaea for $50 @ CC as well.

before that, Viewtiful Joe for $40, and earlier, Castlevania: LoI for $50. Castlevania was the first game purchase in this generation of consoles and my first game purchase in years... now look at me! :D

I pre-ordered Wind Waker in order to get the free Ocarina of Time / Master Quest disk.

I actually did the same thing at Target but ended up changing my mind about WW and put that $5 towards something else. So technically I got OOT/MQ for free.

05-15-2004, 12:27 AM
Full price...hmm I tradesd some games in for Red Dead Revolver other then that....

Probally Splinter Cell PT when it came out

In the past 2 years I have only payed full price for a game once. That game was HALO!

coolsteel
05-15-2004, 01:53 AM
Last time was Ninja Gaiden just because all the people whining about how hard it is made me want to play it the same day. Before that though it had been quite awhile, Rogue Squadron 3 I believe.

Last week, when I bought La Pucelle Tactics, Trasformers, and Road Trip:Switching Gears.

Being a cheapass is fine, but don't go around bitching that game companies don't make games that you like, bring games over from Japan or make sequels to games you loved. If you are only a cheapass, you conceed that right... Money talks, B.S. walks.

05-15-2004, 02:27 PM
Ninja Gaiden. I generally pay full price for a game that I've been waiting a long time for, and just want to nab right when it comes out.

05-15-2004, 02:36 PM
Never, my bf buys all the games, then I play them. last time i think he payed full price though was metal gear: twin snakes

Ninja Gaiden because I was waiting for that game like a year but it was worth it :D

But before that I think Prince of Persia for Xbox

Just last week $50 for La Pucelle, before that it was Disgaea when it was released.. so 2 full price games in the past 12 months. I have a gamefly account so I just rent most recently released action/adventure games.

In a few days, I'm buying that same combo and another I saw that has Planescape: Torment and something else. Damn fine deals, even if they are 'full' price.

Last week I ordered Pop N Music 8 for PS2 for $65 plus shipping. It's an import so I didn't have much of a choice since I wanted the game and tried to find it on Ebay but no one had it for sale for weeks.

Other than import games, the last time I payed full price for a game was Mario Kard Double Dash in November.

Just paid full price for La Pucelle Tactics the other day. Worth every penny. Also recently paid full price for Fatal Frame II and Onimusha 3, but returned both due to guilt of paying full price. Actually both Onimusha 3 twice now and returned it, lol. Gotta hold out for some kinda sale!

I haven't really paid full price for a game in a long, long time. Probably since I was buying PS1 games back around 2000 or so.

05-16-2004, 01:47 PM
sheesh i feel bad for you guys who paid $50 for la pucelle, it was just $35 at fry's. I will probably bite the bullet and pay full price for disgaea when it gets rereleased next week.

I paid full price for Viewtiful Joe, LOTR Return of the King, PGR2, Crimson Skies, Rebel Strike, Mario Double Dash, and Ninja Gaiden. All but Crimson Skies, PGR2, and Viewtiful were around when the games first came out.

I bought NHL 2k3 for DC for $35 w/ BB gamer coupon and got a certian movie triology game with enter the _______ as the name for $44.** at Sams since that's their regular price other than that one time being desperate for a new game. never, i never spend full price, it's a pure waste and if you just buy games on sale/clearance you aren't missing anything. the only time i'll make the exception is Halo 2. $55 on realease day. but i got a gift card for $50+tax. so it's only preorder out of my pocket, then a few cents.

eldad9
06-22-2004, 08:24 PM
$50 for Super Monkey Ball 2 - because I needed it right then, damnit.

Before that it was Shenmue (DC), since I needed to get it signed by Yu Suzuki.

06-22-2004, 11:11 PM
Mario Kart Double Dash, and I regret it. I was very dissapointed with the game.

-Never4ever-
06-23-2004, 01:19 AM
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! -But my dad bought that as a xmas gift so I'd have to say the last time I payed full price for a game was... I believe in 02 when The Thing (PS2) came out. I heard good things, and despite the fact that it dropped to $10 4 months later, it was still better than the other game I was going to get: Turok Evolution :shock:

Normally I don't pay full price, I either trade in other games for them, get used versions, or wait for a sale, unless its a WWE game. I have to admit, Vinnie mac totally owns me :(

06-23-2004, 01:27 AM
Ninja Gaiden, I got that game on the first day it came out because I wanted it that badly, it was the first game i actually put a deposit on. Oh-yeah

Double Dash, paid for in full preordered, the first, last and only time I expect that to happen.

06-23-2004, 01:35 AM
Disgaea at TRU. Worth every damn cent in my opinion. Before that FF:CC, then LoZ:WW, and before that Skies of Arcadia Legends for GC. Everything else is either used or purchesed after trade ins to make it cheaper.

I pre-ordered Wind Waker in order to get the free Ocarina of Time / Master Quest disk.

Bingo. I did the same at TRU but there was some other bonus material and I was using credit generated from my TRU Visa credit card. By the time all was said and done I didn't feel I had shelled out anything like a normal game SRP. The OOT variant that had only been previously released in Japan was well worth a few bucks alone.

It has to be Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snake, but before that, it was robotech:battlecry when it first came out... :roll:

06-26-2004, 12:40 PM
Same for me. Zelda pre-order with the bonus disk. Haven't paid over $30 for a game since.

Last 2 games i paid full price for were Rogue Squadron and Zelda ocarina of time for the N64, i bought both when they first came out and both were well worth it.

Well, This is semi-oldschool. I paid 74 or so bucks for my reserved copy of Final Fantasy VIII (PS1), pretty much last time I bought a full price game. I've watched myself, and since joining CAG I've barely paid more than 25-30 for one. Thanks CheapyD!

Well the 74 or so bucks also pitched in for the strategy guide. I don't know why I bought it though.

In the 25 years since my first game purchase I've bought fewer than 15 for full SRP. Some of those early games were on cassettes in a zip lock bag but they were good deals at the time. Star Raiders for the Atari 800 on a whopping 8 kilobyte cartridge for $20 was a steal in 1980.

THe majority of my SRP purchases were games that accompanied my launch day purchase of a new console after pack-ins ceased to be standard. Mario 64, Sonic Adventure, Panzer Dragoon, Summoner, Halo, Super Monkey Ball...
