I personally would.

I usually will wait a couple of weeks for the price to drop.

It doesn't really make a difference with me. I only buy games that I really want anyways, so even if it was $80 I'd still buy it.

Granted, I would shop around and find the lowest price first, but yeah.

Yeah, I onlyy buy games I'm interested in. But at the same, waiting a bit for the price to drop is good too.

I'd buy more games, more likely.

As much as I tend to only buy games I like and want, I'd be able to afford more if they were cheaper. As it is, I'm a bit of a tightwad far as most disposable income outlets go.

The number of games wouldn't be astronomical, but I'm not the target gaming audience either.

I could have sworn that there was an announcement like a year ago to drop all of the $49.99 prices down to $39.99?

Well, I guess every store in Lansing missed the memo.

Naw. They made a big deal about it, and it never happened. It's not just Lansing, just an empty promise.

WTF

Earlier today, I was looking to buy Smash Brothers Melee again and I had bought the first one for 20 bucks. They raised the price back up to 30.

I didnt buy it.

I always wait for them to hit $19.99 anyway, so I'd say no.

It would all depend on what game it is. Right now there are a bunch of games out that are 39.99 and I still wont get them. Usually if its a game that im not in love with it has to reach the $20 area. But If I know im gonna like it I but it when it comes out.

EDGE OWNS ALL
