I'm a fool for _______.

Fill in the blank.  I wonder if anyone else has "buy on sight" items that really stand out from the want list.  For me, it's Atlus or Renovation games that I don't have and anything that comes in a Collector's Edition.  It's a sickness, but I never claimed to be perfect.  Please enlighten us with those things that cause your wallets or purses to open as if moved by an unseen force.

[QUOTE="darksword1123"]cheap games......if I can find a game on sale for $20 or less I will most likely buy it even if it isn't that good.gakon5

1. Any Mortal Kombat game. I was so excited when they just announced all of the PS2 special editions for Armageddon. Then I realized the 2nd thing I'm a sucker for....

2. Collectors editions. If there's a choice between a special edition game and the regular retail version, I always go with the special edition. Which is why I'm probably going to waste a small fortune on all 3 PS2 versions, the Xbox version, and the Wii version. I only bought one special edition of Deception (Mileena's version), and now I'm kicking myself because the rest are impossible to find.

I don't mind used games for the older systems or older games, but I don't see the point in paying $5 less for a game so that the retail chain can get all the money from the sale instead of the publisher.

I think the Mileena version was the most common. It's the only one Best Buy had. I think each retailer got a different version exclusively.

what about after the game (or prefered version) isn't around anymore?waflerevolution

You mean if a new version isn't available? I'd definitely buy a used version of a current generation game, as long as it was complete and playable. When it comes to older games, I'm not so picky. And I buy empty game cases from MS, Sony, and Nintendo so that I can replace damaged boxes from any used games I buy.

cheap games.

If the game is cheap enough, I don't have it or it's rare, consider it sold.

rare games

If I see a rare game I can't help but pick it up. It just looks all lonely there with no one to play with it. :-/
Even if I already own it, as long as it is a good price, I'll pick the game up. That is why I have 3 copies of Chrono Trigger for SNES(not the rarest game but I consider it worthwile to get).

Anyone else not able to pass up a good buy even though they don't need the game?
