My friend told me that he has had the game Gears of War for three weeks today and just played it yesterday(and he has been hyping the game a lot). I asked him why he hasn't played it and he said when he first got it home, he played one of his older games and started playing his DS and he forgot about it. He said that he feels like a idiot  for waisting all this time not playing it. Another friend of mine says that he has had God of War 2 for a few days and hasn't taken it out of the plastic yet. I could understand if they were busy or if their consoles weren't working but this sounds kind of crazy that they would go this long without playing their new games.

I never play the games I buy, instead I stare at them until either me or the game blink, after a few weeks I eat the plastic wrapper, then a month later I place it gently in my compost pile, where it will remain for all eternity.

Usually I play the game as soon as possible. However when I bought Saint's Row, and didn't play it until two weeks after I bought it. I got side tracked via Gears of War:P

When I buy a game, I take off the plastic wrap, open it, and read the manuel when I get home. When I'm home, depending on how late it is I'll play it or not. If I don't I place the disk in the console.

Sometimes I immediately play it and sometimes I completely forget about it. There are a large chunk of games I own that I've never played for more than 10 minutes.

I usually read the manual first, but lately I've become impatient about it. Also, unless it's a game for a portable, then obviously not. :P

Depends. If its a game I bought on impulse while browsing the shop then probably when I get home, but if its a big game like STALKER or FEAR then I might wait until a have an entire evening free to play them. But sometimes I'll buy 2 or more games at once and then only play one of them and forget the others and come back to them months later.

Generally not, unless it's a real hot title.  I  just have too much crap to do.

Why anyone would spend money on something they wouldn't actually use in the immediate future is beyond me.
