Resident Evil 5 drops tomorrow. Got my special Edition on hold but won't be able to pick it up till monday due to bills and shiz. Can i expect to get some games going with my fellow AT'ers? Who else is getting the Special Edition?

There's really been a lot of games coming out. The reality is that you don't have to get them all at once. We always have slow gaming seasons every year, where the games coming out aren't all that great. Often times we have a few months spread in between where the games just aren't worth the money. By then, most of the hot games that are out now will still be around later on and might be a little cheaper. I've had Fallout 3 for awhile and haven't touched it and probably won't get RE5 or SO4 for awhile to come. If I checked ebay now, I can find games that are a many months old being sold second hand for cheap. By then, demand for older games fades away, but you always have young gamers looking to buy new games, so they turn to ebay to sell their older games to buy new ones. They work and still play well, so if you're on a budget and busy, just get it when you can.


For example I've been wanting to get Valkyria Chronicles for some time now, but realistically I know I wouldn't of had the time to play it when it came out. It originally retailed for $55~$60. Now it's dropped in price by 10 bucks. If I snatch it up second had I can get it for at least 20 bucks discounted and the game is still fairly new.

Thanks for the advice man. I guess I just get too caught up trying to keep up with these guys because I consider them good friends, and I really want to share the whole "first experience" of a cool game with them. Reminiscent of the days where me and my best friend Tommy sat in front of his TV completely hypnotized and mezmorized by Mega Man 2, using tradsies offsies. It's really not the same when you get the game later on, and all your friends have beaten it and play the game they've already had their fill of over again just out of pity for you or something. I do feel a bit better now, I guess.
