Does anyone ever but multiple copies of the same game?

And I'm not talking about when devs "rehash" their games yearly as some people say. I'm talking about literally buying the exact same game twice. I'm wondering if anyone actually does this because my cousin keeps bugging me to buy BC2 to play with him even though I already own the game on PC. I've never bought the same game twice and don't ever intend on doing so as it seems to be a waste of money to me. There are so many games out there that I've wanted to try out for a long time that would be a better use of my money. I'm especially not doing it for a game that I didn't really like that still retails for nearly full price. I might do it for a game that I regret trading in, if I can find it for dirt cheap ($10 or less).

I do. Pokemon black/white. MW2 one for my little brother. Fallout 3 Ps3 first then pc for the mods. one BO for ps3 and Bo for xbox.

Yes Gears of War 2..

nah but i bought oblivion a while back, then traded it in and then bought it again further down the line if that counts

Yes I've done that with a couple I own on PC just for achievements. Plus, I just recently re-bought every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game because I had sold them all awhile back when I quit the game. Cost quite a bit.

I can see if you are buying it for a family/friend and I can kind of see buying for PC and Console if something like framerate has it messed up, but buying it for both consoles seems like a waste of money to me.

Yeah. I have the SFIV CE on 360, SFIV on PC, SSFIV on PS3 and SSFIV on 3DS, 2 RE5s, 3 Lost Planet 2s, 3 Batman AAs etc.

I do indeed. I may be slightly different to anybody else, but I love re-releases and remakes just as much as new games! an example of this is as follows: Will ask for Metal Gear Solid HD Trilogy (MGS2: Sons of Liberty, 3: Snake Eater/Subsistence and Peace Walker, one in which I don't have, actually) for Christmas later in the year (I already know this as it will be released in November and I will wait for it). I already have 2 and 3 on the PS2, one which was £45 back in the day brand new, and the other was also brand new. Can't wait to download Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X on Xbox Live Arcade later this year, even though I already own both on the PS2. Call of Duty (original) - I have the original on PC and the Classic version on Xbox 360 (I bought it, I didn't get it with Modern Warfare 2) Splinter Cell HD Trilogy (some people say it is coming out on 360?) but I will get this if it does, and I got all 3 of them on release back in the day on the PS2. Prince of Persia HD Trilogy - same as the SC one, except I have only played and own Sands of Time out of the 3, but even if I played them all, it wouldn't change my decision, as evidenced thus far Not only that, but I would LOVE for many more games to be released in HD just as much as I can't wait for all the amazing games coming out this year and that could be announced etc.! :)

Also I have sold a lot of other games besides my entire GH collection only to be rebought shortly after.

I bought 2 copies of the MGS franchise one to play one just to stay sealed. And when I was overseas I used to order a copy off Amazon because the BX/PX sucked at ordering games but after while they started getting them around a week after they came out. So I'd end up buy one from the BX and then getting the Amazon copy 3 days later.

yes i butted pc versions of console games i already own.

:)

I won't buy two copies of the same game at the same time, but I do hate replacing games that I like that are broken. Not exsctly answering your question, but I wanted to put in my thoughts.

Considering I own two xbox's, yeah I buy a few. I have two copies of Ghost Recon 2, Borderlands, Gears of War 2, and Texas Hold'em. I also own Dragon Age Origins on the PC, 360 and have the 360 Ultimate Edition (so yeah, 3 copies of that one). I have Oblivian and the game of the year edition both for the 360.

On the DS I own two copies of Animal Crossing and Viva Pinata. I think that covers them all. Oh wait I own Half Life 2 and Bioshock 1 on both the 360 and PC.

Most of these games I buy so I can play with my wife on our two systems, a few I pick up just because I'm a clearance fiend and when I see a really good game for like 5 to 7 dollars I just get the urge even if I already have it on another system.

I have both Oblivion and Fallout 3 for both the pc and 360. Oh, and I bought 2 copies of Bioshock 2 for the 360 since the first one I got.. on release... My xbox scratched it after one day of playing. I had long conversations with the shop I bought the game from which referred me to Microsoft, Microsoft sent mostly kilometer long automessages basically saying that 'we can give you a new game.. if we want to' then I never heard from them again. Talked to the guys who made the game which referred me to the shop I bought it from. Yeah. Bought a new copy when it was cheaper. Ah, it feels good to vent

I have 2 COD's. Does that count? :D

Oblivion, Fallout 3, and new vegas I bought when they first came out on the pc, and then got the game of the year edition later on the 360

mass effect 1 i got on the 360 and then the pc later on. heard it was a much better experince, meh, i preferd it on the 360 overall.

if you count pokemon (eg fire red & leaf green) but on the xbox i'll only buy a game twice if it has been broken/ringed by my brother.

planing on getting mv3 for xbox and ps3.8)

Yes for a variety of reasons. Multiple copies of Gears of War 2/MW2/Black Ops so the kids can play system link and/or on-line together. Multiple copies of various Lego games ( usually different platforms ) to keep the number of arguements down. Few more that I've played on PS3 that the older kids then wanted on Xbox. ( to clarify, me, the wife and all 4 kids game )

And I'm not talking about when devs "rehash" their games yearly as some people say. I'm talking about literally buying the exact same game twice. I'm wondering if anyone actually does this because my cousin keeps bugging me to buy BC2 to play with him even though I already own the game on PC. I've never bought the same game twice and don't ever intend on doing so as it seems to be a waste of money to me.

Fight Night Championship - first got scratched up.

I never bought two copies, but I bought a copy of Reach and my brother did the same without me knowing. So we have two copies now.WSGRandomPerson

system link. thats why I bought 2

I have played games on the Xbox360 or PS3 and then got it for PC to play some of the mods that are made for some games, as some the mods are cool.

Do I ever buy Multiple copies of the same game?

No But I do buy a game again if I like it. When Sold My Xbox 360 for a plane ticket. I eventually bought another. Xbox 360 and Gears of War and Halo 3.

So I will rebuy games if they are stolen, Broken, lost orI have sold them. But I don't buy Multiple copies of the same game even if on different platforms.

Call of Duty Black ops I have both Xbox 360 and PS3 and a PC. I will only buyone copy of this game. not 3 for each platform.

Yep. I have Oblivion on my Xbox360 and my PS3 and PC. It's the only game I have done that. It's so huge and I sometime have limited access. I cover all bases and get to play it when I like :)

Maybe, if i decide i want the collectors edition, then I sell the original copy.
