You know what's cool about your post?
It's the *exact* opposite of what I wrote. Not even close. You read my post, especially the part of a gamer's priority (which includes, of course, his own finances and how much he's able/willing to spend on a game) and completely ignored it.
I'm baffled.
EDIT: just to explain it a bit further: you took the part where one should be conscious about the possibility of a game holding up value better and, for some reason which I swear to god I still completely ignore why, put that at the top of a gamer's priority.
LOL.
Alright, now I'm starting to enjoy this, let's see if I can make it any clearer.
When buying a game, being a gamer, you should consider, in order of priority:
1 - How much you like the game
2 - How much you think you're gonna actually play it
3 - How much it costs (ie: can I afford it)

There, let's see what comes up now, I'm really interested to see what you guys manage to reply.
