"nd up doing a mix of new and used games. I got Borderlands and Brutal Legend this way while picking up GTAIV, Dead Rising and Endwar used. As Jeff states, money is tight. I'm actually saving money right now so that I can be ready for the likely Gamestop Buy 2 get 1 free offer for Memorial Day (May).
The Used/New problem for purchasers will always persist. It's the publisher's job to include incentives that will boost the perceived value to that high $60 launch price. Stuff such as DLC out the door (Dragon Age), presale discounts ($5 off Bayonetta presale), Bonus Items (Burnout Paradise Steel Wheels) need to become more commonplace (in addition to Day 1 availability). The other catch is that this premium benefit needs to be non-transferable, so that resale customers do not get this benefit unless they buy it new. While you may think this shafts the customer, the fact is that the game buying public does the math every time they make the choice between new and used, and will go for the one that gives the most value (assuming that marketing is equal).
So don't feel bad if you buy used. It is literally not your problem. If you buy new, you buy it for a reason. I bought Brutal Legend and Borderlands new because I wanted day 1 delivery, to play with my friends and play online competitively and to help these specific publishers. Those were my reasons which got me to pay the $60 price point. The other games I mentioned were a good deal during the B2G1 offer, and let me catch up on the games I should have tried but didn't have the money at the"
