Are you a PS3 Bargain Shopper or Rich Bastard? - Blu-ray Forum

Ippiki Okami · 07-28-2008, 08:40 PM

I am curious to see how people shop for their PS3 games. Do people here only shop at stores or shop online only or both?

I don't know about you guys, but I am a cheap bastard!

I love to get new releases for $10-20 off retail(Thank you Ebay!)

I did pay full price at Bestbuy for Uncharted though, that was well worth it!

I shop for games at stores because I have no patience. Doesn't make me a bastard.

quexos · 07-28-2008, 08:44 PM

Hmm I usually pay my PS3 games between 50 and 60 Euros at this store I kind of like to go to. it's kind of expensive but then again what isn't over here in Europe ?

I never buy second hand games so I guess I'm a non-buying-2nd-hand-games bastard. I am by no means rich but I still can afford my games, though I'm not the type to have a 100 games per system but rather a handful

u_nick · 07-28-2008, 08:45 PM

Games I want bad enough come day 1. At FYE with the 10% discount if I'm patient enough. Games I only 'kinda' want can wait for discounts.

Pelican170 · 07-28-2008, 08:46 PM

at the store, cant really find any deals on new games..

I'm RICH *****

I'm more of an impatient ***** than a rich bastard.

Seriously I try to get games used or discounted BUT if the game is new and I want it bad enough, I'll get it on release day. Like SoulCalibur IV is out tomorrow. Thankfully, thanks for a trade I made with a BD in Blockbuster, I'll pay $10 less then I'd normally have to.

Mostly a bargain shopper in general.

I do buy some games at full price, but it's rare. Usually it's a co-op game to play online with a friend.

Usually I wait for price drops or clearance sales. Target is pretty good on clearance prices and one of my local Best Buys had a few games 70% off to get rid of them a while back.

Sometimes I shop on Ebay, I was able to find Metal Gear Solid 4 for $48.99 with free shipping and I'll be getting back $9.80 back through Live.com so $39.19 is a pretty good deal.

Touche lol

Amon37 · 07-28-2008, 08:59 PM

I rent anything I don't REALLY want. I usually only buy JRPG's, racing games or something with good online or replay value.

Hedchekr · 07-28-2008, 09:01 PM

Its more of a question about the games for me. A big name game I will buy day one for full price. A good game I will wait a little bit for a sale. I will wait for the bargin bin (or used) for all others.

dereksworl · 07-28-2008, 09:04 PM

So far i bought.....

New: Metal Gear Solid 4(of course

), GTA4(highly regret

Yeah I am like that, except when LBP and Fallout 3 come out I am going to be a cheap bastard!

) I will pay full price!

Yeah me too!....not even close to San Andreas(stuff to do)!

jlynn33 · 07-28-2008, 09:15 PM

I am a thrifty shopper because I buy for 2 ps3's. I refuse to pay more than $25 for a game. Although, I did pay $60 for GTA4 and $39 for GT5P.
