I just paid nearly full price ($60) for a game. The last time I did that was for Killzone 2 last year, and I regret that decision.
I just pre-ordered Heavy Rain. Instead of my typical save-a-buck waiting for a few months, I feel like rewarding Quantic Dream's massive risks, especially since I don't foresee very high sales for this game.
Has anybody else made special exceptions like this for a game when they don;t normally pay full price?
I read a post on Joystiq about Assassin's Creed II. I then looked it up on Amazon. It was $44, and I have Prime so I could have had it by Monday.
I realized that I have a big pile of Steam games, as well as the first, as well as the back half of Batman to play through, and I only have maybe 4 hours a week to game with right now, so I navigated away from the page so I could think about it. Now the game's back up to $56.
There's no real point to this other than to vent about being indecisive.
I stole this concept from a few people, so don't think it's original by any means. I just think that it's a good way to summarize what has been a very busy year in gaming for me. An apparently not a busy night because this list is super long and detailed. The list of hours is all approximate from memory because I'm not near the PS3 right now.
