Preferably new but I don't mind buying some of the older games second hand sometimes.

A combination of both. I buy most of my games new when they drop in price. But I will also buy used games if when I stop at a local shop I see a game that looks interesting, but I know nothing about.

And this thread is probably going to turn into a useless debate that goes nowhere over whether the used game market is destroying gaming or not, at least that is what I expect based on the threads I've seen in the short time I have been here.

I buy games new. Don't want to try to find used games in good condition, usually want to get it on the day of release, and to support the developers. Unless they are published by EA or Activision.

No, the only people that make money from used games are the stores that re-sell them.

This would be better in General Games Discussion (GGD).
