No, not really. If you can't see yourself wanting it for the future why even get it at all?

waiting for price drops is a good money-saving tactic. You shouldn't stop wanting a game just cause it's been out for a while.

I usually wait for a game to get really cheap, and then pick it up. If I have lost interest, its cheap anyway and I'll probably be into it again eventually so at least I have it.

Well, yeah, thinking about buying a game is free, buying it in real life isn't.

That happens to me all the time. But I think its kind of a good thing. I mean if I decided in the end I didn't want the game, I'm happy I didn't buy it out of impulse.

First sign that you're a casual gamer, right there: you only want a game when it's new

I am the same, take Dead Space 2 for example. I was looking to get it when the game came out as I wanted the PS3 Extraction game. However I decided against getting it on launch and still have yet to get it to this day even when the game got cheaper. Some titles I regret getting when I have but other times I have waited and it has been perhaps the right call.

If I'm so hard up for cash that I need to save up for a video game, I imagine I shouldn't be spending money on video games in the first place.

If I really, REALLY want a game, I pre-order it months in advance from Amazon, so the money is there by the time it comes out. For a lot of other games, I might be pretty interested in it, but with all the over-hyping, developer interviews and multitude of screenshots dribbled out each week, I'm usually sick of hearing about it by the time it actually comes out. I'm quite happy to wait until the price gets down to $20 - $30 before picking it up.

Lot of people on this site are still too young to get a job or are still in High School, so... On topic, happened to me a few times before I got a job, always annoyed me a bit.

I want it when I want it ... if I must, I wait until the weekend to pick it up. I remember the days when money was an issue but that's not a problem any longer. :)

I am plagued by buyer's remorse. My game wishlist is long, but I rarely make purchases. I probably have as much fun reading about games and desiring them as I do from actually owing and playing them. I am sure the DSM-IV qualifies this as some sort of mental illness :-)

Wow, i hate to throw the whole "back in my day" bit into the mix, but seems that if there's something you want to buy then you do some work around the house or for somebody else to earn you the money to get what you want.
