SO many games for 2008...last year I bought too many and spent too much money so this year I am trying to be smarter. I am identifying the games I must have and at what price point.
Tier -0- means I plan to buy it on Day 1.
Tier -1- means if it is on sale I might grab it if nothing else is releasing.
Tier -2- means I'll wait to find it preowned and probably about 60% of it's original price.
Tier -3- is for RPG's. I try to buy all as many RPG's as I can; usually I try to get them preowned at 50% of their original price...
Looking for opinions on what others feel I might be getting wrong. What will be better than I am pacing it? What will be worse? What would you add?
Includes all systems...
