How Often Do You Buy Used Games?

Very Often

With all of the rage concerning Used Games, I must ask.... How often do you actually [i]Buy[/i] used games? This is not a question of how often you [b]TRADE IN[/b] your games, but how often you [b]PURCHASE[/b] used games. Also, for kicks; Are you happy when imagining a world where GameStop is failing because MS messed with the Used Game formula?

    Rarely. I think the only one I purchased this generation was Mass Effect 2 about 2 years ago. A small part of it is because I simply prefer new to used. For the most part though, it's because I'm very careful with my purchases. I do a lot of research prior to buying a game and if I don't like the looks of it by launch I probably never will. ME2 was an exception because I was impressed by the changes that were being planned for Mass Effect 3 at the time and I wanted to catch up before it released. Unfortunately it's one of the only times that an online pass ever shut me out of content. As for GameStop. I do [i]not[/i] want them to go away. Despite all the horror stories and complaints I hear about them, my local store is fantastic. When people complain about having pre-orders shoved down their throats I'm always surprised, because the typical conversation at the counter for me is "I just need to pick up [insert game]." "Sure thing. By the way, would you be interested in pre-ordering [similar game]." "No, not today, thanks." "Okay. You're total will be [blah blah blah]." No fuss, and the employees are friendly and helpful. So if cutting out used games caused them to go out of business and forced me to go to a big box store, I'd be a little upset.
