Do you prefer buying new or used games?

I prefer to get new games because you don't know where the used games have been. Plus the game might not even work.

I prefer new games actually myself. I feel more comfortable when buying new games because I know the produvt works. I bought a used ds game one time and it kept freezing at a certain point.

Generally I will go for new. Every now and then used, depends on the price. I know getting new games from Gamestop feels kind of hokey sometimes because they sell "new" games that are already opened. Also, sometimes you buy a used one and it does not have the instruction booklet.

Yes, I would agree to that. CDs are so easily damaged and if you used scratched CDs, you'll probably damage your play unit easily too. That is true also with movie CDs, can't buy those that are already used. Heck, I don't even want to rent them. That's the reason why I can't buy a Playstation unit anymore, I don't think I can find used CDs to use for them. Even that's an old system unit, I would still love the games that I used to play.

I like to buy used games because they are cheaper. Well instores its pretty expensive but on ebay its unbelievably cheap. Ebay you can buy anything game even though they dont sell at the store. As long as the game works I'm OK with it. Used is always best because not people have the money to buy everything new unless you are a collector or it just came out.

I prefer to buy it used but only if I can check the disk for scratches ect.. Which not very many places let you do. So I usually end up paying full price just to get a working game that I can trust.

I am a 31 one year old mother of 2 that is a XBOX 360 nut lol lol I buy them new I buy them used if in good shape trade I do all of it lol lol and I have a NES emulator on here with like 758 games I can play them right on the computer I can email them to you if you want free of charge I dont mind sharing lol but then again your just looking for one game! lol I am really into the older game systems also I dig pac man still lol have a good one!!!!

I agree with you. Its better to buy new games when they are in disk format because the used disks have been damage in most of the cases.

Personally I very rarely buy new games, most of the time I just go to EB games and buy a used one. That way I save a few bucks and I get a game out of the deal. Overall I would say that buying used games seems to make the most sense to me. I personally don't have a lot of money to spend on that kind of thing so when I do I try to make the buy count.
