This being CAG, you guys probably don't buy games at full price often. I tend to only do it on stuff I really want or are limited.

My list so far:
Bioshock LE (PC) - Big Daddy has a broken tip :cry:
Persona 3

In the future:
Growlanser: Heritage of War (This is supposed to be pretty limited)
HL2: The Orange Box (PC)
 
Gears of war. The rest I all got for free or for a max of 10 dollars. Yes, that includes Bioshock, GH2 and madden!
 
The BioShock Limited Edition w/ the 10% off coupon is the only game I've bought at full price this year. And still, that can be considered a deal due to its eBay prices.
 
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops if it counts at its $20 price
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles
Silent Hill Origins
Tomb Raider Anniversary

Well, I guess I can't really say I paid for them in full since I got everything else but MGS:pO with store credit or a gift card.
 
The only one I have done that with is Orange Box and I dont regret it one bit. I also got the double bonus of denying EA my money and supporting VAlve:)

EDIT: Actually Blandstalker reminded me that I also paid full price to import Picross DS. Still was worth it for me though. Picross is priceless!
 
I cant think of any except Bioshock LE, which I promptly flipped and used it to pay for my $50 Amazon order of the regular edition
 
Holy shit, I think I only got two. Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1 and Guitar Hero 2 360. But for Guitar Hero 2 360 I used Game Crazy's awesome trade-in deal from last June to trade in F.E.A.R. and flipped a copy of the XBLA Unplugged disc. I think I got the whole bundle for about 40 bucks.

In the future, the only plan on getting Time Crisis 4 and maybe The Orange Box. I might get the F.E.A.R. expansion pack for the 360 for full price, but I might just get a used copy and use a coupon or something.
 
[quote name='YoshiFan1']None, unless you count paying for games with store credit that I got by flipping games.[/quote]This is the correct answer. Luckily I had coupons for my imports.
 
virtua tennis 3 for the 360 (then traded to GS)
persona 3

thats all. if greatest hits prices count, then i definitely bought a bunch more.
 
I did use a 10% off coupon when I got Bioshock LE. One thing I don't really do is flipping games. It just didn't seem like it was that worthwhile. The only places to flip games in the area are EB/GS and GC. I prefer not to go to EB/GS unless I have to and I don't want to be know a a flipper to the guys at GC.
 
hm....
GRAW 2
Persona 3
Brain Age 2
Winning Eleven Pro Evolution 2007

I need to learn how to wait.....also,add FIFA 08 to the list.
 
The closest I've come to paying full price this year was for Persona 3 and Wild Arms 5. However, those were actually under retail by around $10 each.
 
While I've bought a lot of games at retail, I think only two of them were bought with cash and not gift cards or credit gained at a massive discount: Odin Sphere and Etrian Odyssey.

Besides those two though:

Phoenix Wright: Justice for All (BB credit)
Hotel Dusk (BB Credit)
Wild Arms 5 (Gamecrazy Credit gotten at roughly half value)
Persona 3 (GC Credit)
Luminous Arc (GC Credit)
Hoshigami Remix (GC Credit)

I've still got enough GC Credit for Growlanser 5 and $50 left that I'll put on Contra 4 + another DS game and on top of that I've got about $100 left in Best Buy reward cards that I'll find something to do with before the end of the year.
 
None thus far this year, but I may change that for both Adventures Of Darwin and the Fire Pro Wrestling game coming out in November or so.

I've been playing the old Royal Rumble game for Genesis lately and remembered how much I liked games in that vein.

As for AOD, I may just bite the bullet and pay the $5 shipping for AOD from FYE.com, since the only place with it in stock locally is fuckin' Gamestop. And, I'd like to keep myself from buying ANY games from there at any price if at all possible.
 
Full price meaning MSRP? That's blasphemy.

IAmTheLongestNameOnCAG: I heard Fire Pro Wrestling Returns should MSRP at only $14.99. Definitely worth picking up (even at full retail).
 
That's what I'm hearing too, though as I said, I definitely like the looks of it and how I think they add some 'known' wrestlers in there but with changed names and appearances. I've seen numerous videos on YouTube about the series and liked the gameplay I saw in them, which is what is definitely influencing me to buy it at retail.

I think it was the one video that Mykevermin posted(from YouTube) which swayed me to the 'buy' side though, since there were some sweet spots in that video.

And actually, I think I share the longest name on CAG honor with a few.
 
Hmm. Out of the 200+ games I bought this year (100 of them comming from the Rhino sale), I can only think of these

Fatal Frame 2 (xbox) $14.98 at Wal-Mart
JSRF $9.99 at FYE
and all the games I have on pre-order, except for Rock Band.
 
Um... do I really want to say?

Gears of War
BioShock Limited Edition
Madden 08
Puzzle Quest
Animal Crossing: Wild Word

My forum title LIES...
 
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Brain Age 2
Dynasty Warriors Gundam (X360)
Gyakuten Saiban 3
Persona 3
God of War 2

Next week:
Eternal Sonata(pre-ordered)
Growlanser: Heritage of War
Orochi Warriors(maybe)
 
the only full price games I've bought this year where odin sphere and pokemon diamond. everything else was bought using store credit or on sale at the time.
 
Lets see I payed full price for:
Bioshock LE
Halo 3 Legendary
Eternal Sonata

I will also probably buy Mass Effect at full price as well.
 
Wii-Play, I wanted an extra controller.

I also bought the Bioshock LE (PC) for nearly full price, 10% off, which is close enough to full price for a CAG.

I will probably pick up the Orange Box for near full price.
 
With cash: NHL 08

With store credit: Stranglehold CE, Bioshock LE, Bioshock regular edition, Medal of Honor: Airborne, Crackdown, so many more..
 
Picross (DS)
Mario Party 8 (Wii)
Wii Play (Wii)

Also:
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo DS lite red/onyx with Brain Age 2 bundle
PS3 memory card adapter
 
Literally none. Though I did pay a pretty penny for an imported Electroplankton ($40), it was still a sale (it usually runs much more).
