I know the thread sounds like a no brainier,
but I haven't bought a game for full price since blood borne & FFType 0 ( I needed that FFXV duscae demo >_< )

Anyhow, since I now have Prime I get the discounted price, but even than I still get most of the games at half the cost or less,
since I've been catching up with my backlog, by the time I'm done with those games, I end up getting the next one at a very affordable price.
It's the one good thing about having a back log I guess.

Horizon Zero Dawn. I needed it launch day and my Amazon delivery somehow got delayed for a week.

 

[adamantypants]

I bought Zelda when I got my Switch. Nintendo games are easy buys at $59 since they rarely drop in price

Horizon Zero Dawn. I needed it launch day and my Amazon delivery somehow got delayed for a week.

Also, good point, I've started pre-ordering games from Amazon since they chop off $12 for preorders.

 

[Fat4all]

like, a board game?

 

[Toki767]

Hard to say.

When did GCU start?

Return the Amazon one to the first store

No Amazon or Best Buy discount?

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Honestly don't remember. For the rare times I do buy on launch, I always do it because I got a discount somehow.

GTA V, i was there at midnight

 

[brawly]

I don't have a backlog and I sell them after completing/dropping them. Think the last one was P5.

 

[backflip10019]

I bought Zelda on the spot at Best Buy when I came across a Switch there, so early April for me.

 

[New002]

Digital: Halo 5

Physical: No idea. Thanks in huge part to GCU.

 

[jb1234]

Persona 5. Played eight hours of it and moved on to something else.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

A full $60? Been a while I think. I guess FFXV. Waited for Horizon to go on sale for $40. Same with plenty of other games lately.

My next day one will probably be the new God of War next year.

Now that I think about it, out of 25 or so games I have on PS4, the only ones I paid full price for are FFXV, Uncharted 4, BO3 and SFV.

SFV was the only one I should have waited on. No regrets on the other 3.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Happens quite often as I have gone all digital on Xbone, (still mostly physical for PS4) but I do the game sharing thing with my brother so it works out to two copies for the full price of one.

Can't remember the last time I bought a PC game that wasn't in some sort of sale.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

............Ghost Recon Wildlands for PS4 mainly for friends.

 

[Jeffrey]

I've bought some deluxe edition for $60 after discount.dont remember when else in years. Thanks amazon and best buy.

 

[Cyanity]

Tekken 7 and I have zero regrets

 

[pablito]

Persona 5. I found a mom & pop that had it a week early so I wasn't gonna wait for Amazon.

 

[Apt101]

I think it was Horizon: Zero Dawn. I am pretty sure I got Nier: Automata when it was on a sale on PSN, if not it's that.

[Zaru]

Persona 5, because I knew it would justify that price. It did.

 

[ERotIC]

Horizon Zero Dawn.


Before that, it'd probably been about three or four years since I had.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Honestly can't remember, maybe very early PS3 days

 

[old]

The last two Titanfalls. Before that, I can't remember. Probably years.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

April 2015 MKX

 

[Jawbreaker]

Hm, Persona 5. Fully worth the price with the 180+ hours I've put into it.

20 tracks at 53 minutes is much better than a lot of "selection CDs" included with a lot of games.

 

[Jzero]

Never. Even Switch games end up being less expensive with Amazon Prime.

WiiU.

May have been the first time I bought a 59.99 WiiU game.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Uncharted 4. But that's only because Canadian retail prices are back to being abysmal and you HAVE to preorder them to get games at less than $80.

I buy games digitally so I pay full price all the time if I want day one.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Uh, I think Wind Waker. The original Gamecube one, and mostly because I wanted the bonus OoT disc.

Paying full price is pretty poor idea financially. And more often than not people seem to get a lesser product than if they wait for the GotY edition or some such.

 

[Tagyhag]

$60? The last time was Splatoon for a friend's B-day.

For myself I honestly can't remember. It might have seriously been Super Smash Bros Brawl.

I bought PUBG for full price but that was $30.

And that was the last game that I can remember buying with no discount.

 

[zulux21]

rock band 3 digitally.

aside from that years since GCU rules.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

$60? Oh you sweet summer child. Full-priced new games are $80 CAD here in Canadaland.

And it was Nioh (actually paid $100 for the special edition with the season pass included).

I had also pre-ordered Horizon: Zero Dawn, but it was at Amazon during E3 two years ago and I had 30% discount, and at the time games were still $60 so I ended up being like $40 for it in the end. I would have gladly spent the full price on it though.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

BotW

WiiU.

May have been the first time I bought a 59.99 WiiU game.

I waited a few days and bought a copy from Target during the B2G1 sale along with two other $60 games. Return value is done per game so I returned the other two games and got BOTW Wii U for $40 days two days after launch.

 

[Hyperfludd]

I bought ARMS digitally, so that. Then I guess the last retail game I bought full price would be...uh...whatever came out before GCU was a thing.

 

[TimeEffect]

Persona, and I regret it.

 

[Strangelove77]

Persona 5.

 

[Massicot]

Between Amazon and GMG, I really can't be certain..can't think of the last time.

Edit: Reading through this thread, I guess paying full price is easy to avoid as long as you're not going digital on console.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

ARMS.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Persona 5, no regrets.

 

[PhantomKnight]

Persona 5, and it was worth it.

 

[g11]

Persona 5 and Horizon: ZD. I preordered both at the same time. No ragrets!

EDIT: Digital purchases so it was the full price although I think there was a "Spend $X get $Y back" deal-y going so maybe not.

 

[HStallion]

With Gamers Clube Unlocked at Best Buy I purchase "$60" dollar games on release all the time. Thing is with the GCU discount most of the games cost about $48 so I'm paying "full Price" but with a constant discount. Its great and allowed me to buy tons of games earlier than expected.
