I trade my finished games on goozex, and typically only buy through digital distribution if I know I'm going to want to keep the game forever, or if there is a great sale.

Are there any games that you've purchased that you now regret because you're stuck with them?

For me, it's Project Snowblind. I loved Deus Ex (Proj: S was supposed to be a sequal of sorts) and enjoyed the demo, but when I bought the game I was floored with how sh***y it looked and how generic it was to play.

Not really any that I can think of. I usually get them on Steam sales or buy ones I know I'll like.

I don't trade in any games, so none in that respect. But I regret buying the digital version of Borderlands, because the boxart is so awesome D:

Ummm... Assassins Crud... Mass Effect... and a few others... I wish Steam would allow you to give your games to someone else...... So I'll stick with retail for now...the only D/L games I buy anymore are the ones on sale on D2D and Steam

I regret buying Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena a few days back. I've only played through parts of Butcher Bay so far and it's just an average game so far. I was expecting a really good game considering it was so well received when it came out. Plus, the game seems work randomly. 7/10 time when I try to launch the game, it just freezes on me. I was really hoping to finish the game by today before I go back to work tomorrow. Oh well, for $7, I didn't lose much.
