I don't buy new games often as they're usually a rip off and you can get the game for half price or less within six months.

One advantage on consoles though is you can buy second hand copies of boxed games really cheap. I just bought 3 Xbox one era Cod games to play the zombies maps for less than £15 in total.

For real. A game has to be received well and in good working order for me to even think about buying near the initial release. It would then need to be a game that I just absolutely knew I would love and maybe wanted to support the developer or genre with my cash monies. 

I’m normally waiting for that “complete” version of a game when it’s on sale for $20-30. 

It’s been extremely rare for me to buy games on release. I’ve maybe purchased 2 in the last 3 years. One of which was returned on Steam cause it ran like ass.
