Time to make reserves while it is cheap
I've definitely been taking full advantage of a lot of Wii/360/PS3 games dropping in price, but I still don't think it is prime time to collect for these consoles yet. I think in about 3-years when the 8th gen is in full swing and each console has grown into its own, prices on 7th gen games will plummet. We'll enjoy the super low prices that GC, PS2, and XBOX games were at a couple of years ago. Can't wait until then
I think it's a matter of price & availability balancing out. Depending on your area that may not be a problem...but there are already some PS3 games that I want that I can't find around here (and they are far more expensive online than they would be if I could find them at a Gamestop). That goes double for Wii. Plus, I've been getting quite a few Wii & some PS3 games lately for $5 or less. Hard to argue waiting with those kinds of prices.
That said, some of the "bigger" titles that are holding their value I'm definitely waiting on, such as most first-party Nintendo games I don't have.
You're definitely right on some of them holding their value. I can't see games like Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Xenoblade Chronicles, or the Metroid Prime Trilogy dropping significantly in price anytime soon.
Most expensive game i paid in the Lov was 10$ for XCOM. Most of them were paid about 5$ each. Not bad, I think
In the what now?
