What would your cheap ass do?

[bruce_pwns_j00]

If your at a store and you have $50 what do you do? Buy that new $50 game or pick up multiple cheap ass games. Me myself, bieng the cheap ass that I am have to get the multiple cheap ass games. How bout you? :o

depends on the new game. if its somethin i really want, i will buy it. otherwise i would probably buy a shitload of cheapies. usually i would just buy a couple cheap 20 buck games.

Depends on the game and my money situation. This time of year, work is good and I usually have a lot of extra money, so I tend to get newer titles. Say though in the winter time, work is not so good and Ihave almost no extra money, I tend to buy the $5.00 games just so I can buy a game and feel the joy that getting something new brings.

I would go to EB and get 4+ games and get 30% off...they would all be mine! haha!

Depends on what the new game is and what the cheap ones are. Odds are I'd go with the cheap ones, but it depends on how much fun I can get out of the games.

"Replay value" is a dirty term and is overrated...but if it's one of the rare games that has it, where the "replay" isn't just unlocking extra items but changes the game entirely (like Deus Ex or the Pokémon RPGs), that helps immensely. Of course, this is entirely subjective...

If I could get 4 good games I would go for that. But, I'd rather have a great $50 game, than have 4 mediocre games for the same price. At least the great game (example Disgaea) will occupy a good chunk of you time.

I'd walk out of the store and spend that money on food from 7-11.

This is a very good point. Since I discovered this site, I've gone from someone who buys the games I want the day they come out for $50 to someone who will wait until it's a Greatest Hit, then go to BB to get it for $15 with the GGC. I've grabbed lots of the real cheapass deals that have popped up on this site, but as great as it feels to get a new game for $8, if you play it for five minutes and then never again, it's really not such a great deal.

Having said that, I'd still spend the $50 on multiple cheap games unless it was that rare game that I just could NOT wait for. I'm dying to go buy Onimusha 3, but I'll wait for next year when it's a Greatest Hit. GTA: San Andreas may be the only $50 game I'll buy this year.

id find an ad and pricematch it at bb so i could use my rewards card.

CC usually has really good selling games on sale about a month after they come out...like SCPT...

[Mustang O-Line 75]

I never buy a game unless it is on sale.

Except for ones for my brother. (i.e. SOCOM 2)

[sj41]

Has CC already had that sale on SC:PT.

[karmapolice]
