Is your $60 better spent on a new modern title or retro games?

Retro. You can so easily buy good retro games for cheap and are so much fun.

This is easy to answer.
Althought new games (good and bad) are usually sold by this price, if a retro game reaches these values, it usually means that it is either rare or an awesome game that withstood the test of time.
So, with no doubt, I prefer paying US$60.00 on retro.

Probably retro because if you play your cards right you can probably get 2-5 great retro games or more for 60 dollars and only 1 brand new quality game will be 60 dollars. 


You can get Super Mario World, Mario 64 and Link to the Past for 60 bucks.  No 1 game is taking out that 3 punch combo imo . 



Plus older video games have much more diversity and replay value than a lot of newer games.  Most of these campaign driven games are one and dones.   A lot of retro games have that distinct replayable fun factor and they aren't as story driven. 


I sell most new games when i'm done with them and buy them back later,  I never do that with retro games.  I feel they are more important to keep.
