[quote name='MaelstromB']That's why I'm waiting. My backlog has grown (and will continue to grow) into a monstrosity that I do not think I could conquer in a lifetime if I tried. At this point, even if I wanted to, I would not get to C:LoS for another few months. I actually purchased the Limited Edition version day one from Amazon. I received it, and it sat lonely on my the top of my stack on my bedroom floor. After little consideration, I decided to send it back and get a refund for the very reasons listed above.
In this day and age, the msrp of games falls extremely quick, so unless you're planning on playing on day one, you're better off waiting and saving yourself the financial hurt.[/QUOTE]
Or...
1. Buy the game you really want to play on day 1.
2. Beat it relatively quickly (say a week or two). The faster, the better since prices really start going down after the first week.
3. Sell it back on ebay/craigslist for anywhere between 70% - 90% of your money back.
Sure, you can say just rent the game, but they may not have the game day 1 or you might not be able to get the game for a few days/weeks due to demand. If you have a backlog, by all means, wait. But this is what I personally do.
