I bought some PS1 games to use with an emulator on my PC, and Persona 4 for when I replace my broken PS2.

I'm tempted to do that with 3DS games. Or at least games that have short print runs and I'm interested in.

Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
I have about 10 PS3 games but no PS3 console to play them on yet.
I'm hoping to have one by the end of summer though.

Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
I've never done it but if I ever stumble at a good deal on some retro games for a console I don't have yet, I will probably buy them without hesitating much. Mostly because finding anything retro locally is a total nightmare.
Mostly harmless
Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
I bought Gridrunner for the Vic20 because I found it in the wild and it had Jeff Minter and Llamasoft written on the label.
Other than that I generally get the system first. If I saw something rare for a few quid though I would go for and get the console later

Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
I've never done it, but I've thought about it...really tempted to buy Wii games some times. I know I'm going to get a Wii someday, I've just been waiting for the price to drop a bit more...
