whats the most you are willing to pay for a game?

for me $90

i won't pay anything over it's original retail price.. but lately i have had the urge to get a spend a ridiculous amount on a really expensive and rare game.. hope fully i don't give into that..:?

65$ for gran turismo 5

And that'll also be the most I HAVE EVER paid for a game

I usually only pay 1-45$ depending on the game...hardly ever do I go over that...Only once I did

I paid 50$ for Modnation Racers...and I'll be paying full retail for Gran Turismo 5 65$

Games are fun but they shouldn't rob you 100 bucks

70$ dollars for a game.

for me $90

when i think about it for the price of a new game 60 dollars

i can get about 12 games without tax at a gamestore

5 dollars a game

i think it makes more sence 2 go with older games which i think are just as much fun but i think 60 dollars is alot

60 bucks. Why? Because if it's going to be that much, it better be worth it.

Honestly, if the industry would produce games of quality, then I may considerthrowing the money aroundWhen like 75% of the games are absolute garbage IMO, there is no way im going to risk by games brand new, unless I am almost completely certain it will be a good game; meaning solid graphics, much more than a few hours of gameplay and replayability. Too often do I see games being released that I swear are just dictated by the accounting departments of these companies because they want to milk a quick buck from the consumer.

35 bucks usually, 60 bucks RARELY, and I mean VERY rarely. I've only preordered 2 games in my entire 20 plus years of gaming, Twilight Princess and Fallout New Vegas. Because I just knew Twilight Princess was going to be good since I am a big Zelda fan, and I loved Fallout 3 so much that I decided to fork out the 60 for the preorder for Fallout New Vegas.

On top of that, I am not really that big of a collector. I see these people on youtube and gamespot with such HUGE collections and I never felt like showing mine since well, I am pretty laid back now a days about it. But kudos to people that can afford every 60 dollar game out there that comes out.

Other than that, I don't buy too many games now a days, only the ones I know that will be good.

Last year I payed 50 dollars for a used copy of Xenogears and that's the most I would pay for any other rare game.

It depends on the game and how badly I want it. But for the right title, I would spend upwards of $100 or more.

It all depends on the game. For current gen games, I generally won't pay more than $35, and that is rare. For older games...the sky is the limit. I haven't payed very much for any of the vintage games I have, but I could easily see paying $18,000 for Nintendo World Championship's Gold. I don't have that kind of money by far, but if I did, I would pay it. You have to look at the resalability as well as the fact that it's a game. By that token, a car is a car, but a Ferrari is worth much more than a Kia. I don't see a problem with spending money if that is what it is worth. That said, most current gen games aren't worth the $65 they are asking, so I wait until they go down in price.

Well of course, this all depends on what game we're talking about, but any recent games for 360 or Wii, 40 bucks is my absolute limit.

But when I'm buying older games like SNES and Genesis games, I usually only pay 2-5 dollars each, unless it's something like Final Fantasy 2 or earthbound.

What really pisses me off is when people think that the legend of Zelda is a really rare game because it's gold, and they try to sell it for 60 bucks.

Well, no. Most people would pay 15 dollars max for legend of Zelda.

When I buy a new game, my limit is mostly $30.00. When buying used, $8.00 at most.

I generally dont like to pay more then 20-30 dollars for games.

Its pretty rare when I buy a game brand new, I think Uncharted 2 was the last time I did it. Usually I wait until a game has been out for awhile and dropped in price a lot to purchase it.

This also applies to retro games I buy.

depends on the game. I rarely buy new games (maybe once a year) and usually the most I'll pay is 30$

40$ is my limit. Unless its something i really really want. Ive paid 80$ before for a collectors edition and now im wondering why I did. I dont ever do anything with the extra stuff.

prolly 200 so i can experience the Radiant Silvergun

$50-60 at most.

prolly 200 so i can experience the Radiant Silvergun

Plisken1

do it!!!!!! i got a good deal on it for $165 (lmao good deal) but seriously that game was worth EVERY penny to me :).

fyi: if you have a 360 you might want to wait cause Radiant Silvergun is officially coming to the 360 next year.

$10,000, anything over that is just crazy too spend on a video game

$50. If it's more than that I'll wait till it's cheaper.

I'm cheap...I seldom if ever buy games new. The only times I've done that are with LEgo Indiana Jones for 40, Lego Batman for 40, and I'll probaby get Toy Story 3 PS2 when it comes out new.

US $ 50. Anything more than that, I simply don't buy it, no matter the title. I'll wait for it to go down or something.

Obviously a distinction needs to be made between normal games, and retro collectable ones.

For normal common releases, I rarely run out and spend the full $59.99-$69.99, I'll just wait and grab a copy 2 months later for $30.

That said, I own several games (suikoden II, magic knight rayearth, shining force III etc) that typically range at $130+ on ebay, and I'm currently trying to get myself a copy of "Panzer Dragoon Saga" that goes for $200.......

59.99 us dollars for a ps3 360 game

49,99 us dollars for a wii psp ps2 game

29-49 for handheld

old games depends on how good it was/is

but not over 40

It would depend on the game. Couple hundred I guess if I was going to assume it would be the perfect game for me and have my attention for months or years.

50-60 bucks if its just released but I rarely do that unless I really want the game. Most of the time, I wait for price drops or buy used games even if it takes years :)

for me $90

bigM10231

for StarCraft 2 = $60...

for anything else = $25

When I've saved up $230 for Hyper Duel on the SS I'll buy it. Because I'm a sucker.

100

For a last gen or older game $35-45.

this is a touchy subject for me as i tend to be thrifty when it comes to buying games. there is only a handful of current-gen games i have paid full retail for and thats because i understand the system at hand here- new releases are only the "flavor of the month", and i dont wont to kick myself for dropping $60 bucks on a game (i am looking at you fifa world cup 2010!)that in 2 months is going to be $40. look at darksiders, in january it was $60, in april it was $40, in july it was $30, and now its $20. still a good game 9 months later, but i would rather wait that 9 months and feel better about paying only $20 for it.

now when it comes to "legacy" systems, its all subjective. a game for neo geo? well yea i might pay $150 for it, if i spent 7 months looking for it and couldnt find it cheaper. but certain games like shining force 2, well i took the time to look for it instead of paying $45 on the first copy i found, and 3 months later got it for $7. same with M.U.S.H.A., its not worth the $80 dollars it was going for online.

if a game is rare enough, and i got the extra cash, $90 dollars is not out of the question. but it better be in mint condition with case and instruction manual!

for me $90

normally i wouldn't spend more than $50, yes im pretty cheap, i like to save.

Panzer Dragoon Saga ~$250.

Panzer Dragoon Saga ~$250.

When you buy PDS, you're basically renting it. Drop $250, play it, sell it back on ebay for $250, or a little less if your feeling nice. I hear the original code was lost so there will always be a demand for this game.

50-ish bucks.
