i don't get the problem. if the game is new and really you can ONLY get it as new at the time, then of course ill buy new.
hardcore gamers like to have the newest installment of their favorite series' right away.
but i also buy stuffloads of used games. from nes,snes,64,playstaion1
the nostalgia from games that old make them great.
but on that same note i couldn't make myself buy a ps2 or xbox game. not old enough to be cool, yet still to old to be cool
