I never end up buying game upon release. For PS3 I wait a couple months later to get it most of the time the price has gone down and/or I have enough money to buy the game. On steam I always wait for a sale if the game is above 30 or 40 bucks. Which a lot of the time I dont have to wait too long seeing as how steam is pretty good about when they have their sales and for what games.

Yes, I definitely do this to save money. I don't mind playing a game a few weeks, or even months, after it comes out. I don't feel that a lot of games are worth their retail price, especially handheld games.
I also do the same thing with consoles.

I definitely wait. For one, I have to wait until I can go to the city to get them. For another, I like to save my money, and waiting for games that I really want to go on sale is a good way to do that. Plus, I can go online and look up footage of the game and decide whether I ACTUALLY want the game or not.

It all depends on the game being bought and also the price of the game. If it is a good game and there is a high demand for it, I will probably wait a week or 2, see if price goes down and then get it. Otherwise I will just wait until the price drops significantly before getting it myself. Like pokemon X and Y for example, I waited 1 whole week after before actually getting it. If it is a good game and the prices isn't ridiculous, I will get it then and there, if it is overpriced but I still like the game, I wait. Simple as that.

I usually wait to buy video games obviously because it will be much cheaper in the future. I very rarely buy games when it first comes out because they cose like 60 U.S. Dollars. I don't know why they are so expensive. D:

Usually when a game gets released that I really want, even though I would love to get it the day it come's out, I wait a few week's or months until the price drops or there's a sale.  It's not too often that I actually get a game on the official release date, and I usually have a difficult time finding it after a while though.

If I know it is really interesting and I can't wait to play it (and maybe if it's £30 or below) then I'll buy it ASAP. If I don't think I'll play it very much (if it's not very long, can't play after beating it) and it's expensive, I'll wait for the price to go down before I bother asking to buy it.
If the console is selling really badly, then I'll buy all the games I can get and maybe not unwrap one or two... they may be worth quite a lot if the console doesn't sell well!

When I have been waiting for a game to come out for a really long time and it is part of a series I love I will buy it right when it comes out. In some cases I will even pay the extra money to get the collectors edition. But generally I buy used games (if they don't have online because then I have to pay extra anyways). I am ok with waiting. but I do miss video rental stores so you could play a game before buying it. It would have saved me time and money with some games (Final Fantasy XII).

Even if the game is really interesting to me, I still wait until the price drops dramatically if its a triple A title. I just can't afford to pay 60 dollars for one game. Especially with all the DLC and micro-transactions, I still need money in my pockets for mandatory stuff like that.

not if they are games I have been waiting for forever like Pokemon Y. But I wait for some of them, so bugs and major glitched can be fixed before I get them

I never really wait, and the prices at my local game retail don't drop that much. (They raise though. Contra did by four dollars) When I can afford Ninja Gaiden, I buy it. I never really wait unless I lack the finances to buy the game.

Personally, I always wait a while before getting a game, no matter how badly I may want it. Not only just to save money, but sometimes it's good to take a look at the reviews to see what the pros and cons are and figure out if it's still worth getting.

Usually I wait to buy the game, but this is primarily because I don't come into money often (I'm a poor teenager), so I end up getting games late. The only game I recall not waiting awhile before getting was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, I pre ordered it and got it the day it came out.

That's a very good question. I guess that it depends on why I was interested in the first place. For example, if the game is a sequel to a game I really liked than I will probably not wait a lot after the release to get it, I might even pre-order the game. When hotline Miami 2 for example will be available I will get my hands on it as soon as I can because I loved the heck out of the first one. However, If I was interested in a game because of trailers, the company that is making it and so on, I will probably wait a little bit longer just to make sure it matches my expectations (as much as it can of course) Overall I can say that I tend to avoid buying games that turns out not to be good

I usually always wait. I don't want to buy a game from my favourite series and find out that it's completely different from the other games in the series (like Zelda II,) so different that it's just not enjoyable.



I did like Zelda II though so don't get me wrong.
