Do you have the habit of buying games first before console?

Post by **JC48573** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 7:52 pm

when I'm broke....or not "ready" to buy a console (especially with handhelds), I always buy the games first. I particularly buy the games I know they are going to be hard to find, especially with companies like Atlus, Aksys, and sometimes Xseed.

Currently own 5 games on the 3DS, none on the Vita.......

I bought Xbox games before I got an Xbox and Game Gear games before I found a system to play them on. I usually found them in thrift stores for cheap and couldn't resist.

I currently have a handful of Dreamcast, 32X, DS and 3DS games, with no systems to play them on. I'll rectify a couple of those soon though. Probably some time after the holidays....

I'll most likely do the same for the WiiU.

This it was a impulse so many games for so cheap! I sell the crappy ones to buy the xbox.

I have one Amiga game, but no Amiga. The game was too cheap to pass up.

The local record store has a stack of Atari 7800 and Atari 8-bit games that have been collecting dust. I might snag a few of those.

lol, I thought I was the only weirdo. My friends made fun of me every time I told them about my habit.

The only time I've ever done this was for the 32x. See what had happened was... I went to Goodwill one day and I saw a couple of 32x games, I had no idea what a 32x even was at the time, but I thought the cartridges looked really cool, especially Virtua Fighter. So I bought it. I read up on the 32x, thought it sounded interesting so I was then on the lookout for one. Eventually found one at a booth in a flea market for $10. And that was that.

Not really. I did buy 3DS games in anticipation of getting the system, but only like the week prior to the XL coming out when I'd already decided to buy one on release.

I think the only game I have that I don't have a system for is the Highlander game for Jaguar CD, and that's 'cause a friend who long since sold his Jaguar and CD unit found it while cleaning up and gave it to me. 'course, I have no plans to ever own a Jaguar CD.

For the opposite situation, I have a 32X and no games for it

^ I have two games for my 32x but no correct wires to play it with.
