Its stupid to buy day 1.
Everything can be had for 1/2 the price in about 6 months, if you know where to look.[/quote]
For games that I really want, I'd rather pay 2/3 MSRP now than 1/2 retail 6 months down the line.
I went a little crazy this year (I probably do every year).
I got LBP, Fallout 3 CE, Fable 2, Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour (may still sell or trade it instead of opening it), and I picked up several older titles as well. I have Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts pre-ordered (at full price, but with trade credit), but I haven't played the demo yet, so I may still back out. I also got 2 copies of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (one for me, one for my wife).
I am passing on (from lists that were posted here, plus a few more):
I want these games, but probably not at launch:
Prince of Persia (wait for reviews/demo, might swap for it)
Tomb Raider Underworld (I look forward to trying the demo, but it would have to blow me away for me to get it at launch. Might swap for it)
Mirror's Edge (played part of the demo this morning. I'll finish the demo before my final decision, but it seems like something I'd wait to drop)
Saints Row 2 (Wait for big price drop. I've barely touched SR1, and it doesn't look like I will anytime soon. It would probably have to drop below $20 for me to really consider it)
Blitz II (I'd get it for $15 or less. Shouldn't be long (Although, by the time it reaches $15, I might only be willing to pay $10))
Motor Storm Pacific Rift (Definitely not on my radar for full price, but for $20 or less (this one may take a while) it might be fun)
First person shooters aren't really my thing. I may pick some of these up after big price drops:
Gears 2 (I am likely to get this at some point in the future)
Far Cry 2 (I am not likely to get this, unless it is a ridiculous deal)
Left 4 Dead (undecided)
CoD 4.5 (undecided)
Resistance 2 (undecided)
Not on my radar (I am aware of the games, but they hold little interest for me):
Deep Space
Valkyria Chronicles
Last Remnant
Tom Clancy's EndWar
Madden NFL 09
Star Wars The Force Unleashed (okay, that is a little older, but still potential holiday fodder for some)
WWE: Smackdown vs. Raw 2009
Animal Crossing City Folk (still has a chance to get on my radar)
Wii Music (I liked the concept, but details and reviews have turned me off of it. It'd have to be really cheap)
Wario Land: Shake It
