What do you actually BUY?

[Joey Ravn]

I only buy games I know I'll like and are worth the purchase. For example, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Pokémon... I've bought certain online games that need to be purchased to be played, too, like WoW or GuildWars.

And I obviously buy books, both "real" books (i.e. narrative literature, for example) and comic books (i.e. both trade paperpack and hardcover comic books). I don't buy manga, though. I don't like it.

I buy all the games I want for my consoles, handhelds and PC.
Also books, manga and DVDs (I have a semi-decent collection of DVDs, its around 450 titles).

If I want it I buy it, assuming I can afford it.

 

[Rod]

Out of the systems mentioned I only have the DS, so... none.

Out of the "others", I buy books. Reading on the PC is a pain, I'll only do it if there's no other option.

 

[Psyfira]

I buy games for the PS2, the preowned bin is very forgiving

Don't download movies, more hassle than it's worth; they're too big, it takes forever and DVD's are dirt cheap anyway. I still buy CD's, never brought singles but 2008 was a rubbish year for music so I haven't downloaded any either. I don't usually buy cartoons, except for Avatar (still waiting for the price to drop on season 3, grrr...). As for books I don't read fiction. Non fiction I get out of the library first, and if I'm still renewing it 6 months later I take that as a hint that it's worth buying

I've never really liked e-books.

Books

 

[myuusmeow]

I don't pirate books, the rare time I need a book I'll just go to the school library at lunch.

 

[playallday]

I always buy my PC games. Most/all of the downloads come with unwanted software (also known as viruses

).

 

[Wabsta]

I bought Guitar Hero for the Wii and NDS.
And I am one of those who actually buy CD's, to support my favorite bands.

I always buy my PC games. Most/all of the downloads come with unwanted software (also known as viruses

).

I've never gotten a virus after all those cracked software and keygens and serial key lists I download. I think I got a warning ONCE but that's all.

 

[Jaems]

I buy PS3 games, mostly because there isn't a way to pirate at the moment.
Don't own an Xbox 360.
Have a flashcart for DS Games, but I still own some from when I didn't have a flashcart.
I pirate most Wii games, even the ones I end up buying almost a day later because I feel they're worth the money. (Example being No More Heroes) But, that's not saying much because most Wii games aren't worth the money.
I only buy PC Games if they have online features that can't be used by Keygens.

I always pirate Music.
However, I buy many Music DVDs of live performances, and I buy many DVD movies because I'm a film lover and I feel sometimes DVDRips don't carry as good quality than DVDs.

Manga isn't worth money, because they're usually only a good read once, and you can always find them online.
And, yeah, I buy books.

 

[Smef]

I have a flash cart and I still buy DS games all the time. Having the box and manual of a game is something I enjoy, in addition to having an actual cart, of course. I like having a collection to display.

 

[Mangofett]

I buy my 360 games and some PC games (the ones that you play online) and I prefer reading manga on paper... but books on electronic screen.

 

[DrYHeLL]

I buy nothing at all

We don't like your type >

Thought so, kinda ashamed now

But my parents don't want to spend much money and don't let me spend much money, that's one of the main reasons I can't buy a lot of things.
Else I would have bought Fire Emblem DS for sure.

Dont be ashamed, I have tons of money and I still refuse to pay for most things!

To be honest the only reason I'm quoting and responding is because of this smiley

Funniest shit ever.

And about pirating. Only DS games.A while back I sold all mah DS stuff for PSP "stuff" and well.... I boought another DS and flashcard

I could have bought it all back but with flashcards you get benefits like homebrew and emus, RTS, all that jazz.

The only game I downloaded that I didn't originally own is Phoenix Wright because it is so damn hard to find in stores. I wanted to but I was like "man... where can I buy it?"

(I thought it was impossible to pirate PS3 games anyways?)
(doesnt own a PS3 so not asking how...)









OANDDREAMCAST!

 

[xalphax]

my "retro" game collection is growing by the day.

 

[Filter]

I only buy PC games for mutliplayer and the only games I actually bought are Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source, Left 4 Dead.

The rest are obtained by other ways. Movies, Music, NDS games, etc..

 

[Immortal Game]

I used to buy a lot of DS games... used to. Now I only buy them if they're really good.

I buy Wii games, but there aren't really many good Wii games in the first place. I'd buy 360 games if I had a 360.

And I buy books, of course. It'd be kinda retarded to pirate a book, plus I always have a lot of Barnes & Noble gift cards for some reason. People think I like books. It's funny until you start getting them from the people that usually get you Best Buy gift cards.

I only buy the CDs if I'm really... devoted, I suppose, to the artist. In that case I will probably try to buy all of them.

Also, can you add "clothes" to the poll, since I wanna see what people would say to that. xD

 

[War]

I don't buy videogames at ALL unless I absolutely have to for some reason (like if my internet crashes or something, which never happens). I also pirate music/software/movies/anime.

The only things I actually buy are books and manga, just because I like to read things physically and not from a computer screen.

 

[CyberFish]

I buy PS3 games if it really looks good or if I read good things about it. I originally had 15 wii games, but I backed them up and gave them to a cousin that didnt have much money. Havent really bought once since.

 

[DeMoN]

I don't pirate DVDs or DVD games (Wii, PC, etc.) because they take too long to download and I'm still using 700k DSL.
And I don't pirate books because I like being able to touch them rather than read them on a computer.

 

[EmeraldEx]

360 games, DVDs, Music CDs, Books.
