  Those who buy late must also buy quick.

  Some recent experiences I've had buying games for my relatively recently obtained PS2 have taught me an important lesson: if you are going to buy a system late, make sure you have a list of the games you want right away. The instant a console starts to get cheap may be a good time to buy it, but there is no guarantee the games you want will still be easy to find.

  I never had a PS1, and as such I'm one of the three people who have never played Final Fantasy VII. Course this isn't something I thought should continue so I recently looked into obtaining said game, and of course I know a normal store is not going to have it anymore so I immediately looked on Amazon.com. I found that a used copy of the game actually at its cheapest was about 90$ and "new" (factory sealed?) ones closer 120$. Such an amount is well beyond what I would want to pay at this point, which is just too bad. Goes to show you that if you wait too long the games on other consoles you may want to play could be more expensive than when they were originally out.
