I hardly ever buy new, most of the new games I've gotten(at release) was Batman Arkham City, and Skyrim. I usually wait until the game drops to 30$ or less, unless its a game I must have(like Arkham City, Skyrim was a gamble on my part).

I never understood why games cost so much, for example, Superman Returns the movie cost about 225 million, and took around 18 months to make...the combo pack for the movie when it came out was 25$. If new games started out around 30$ I'd be more willing to buy new when they first come out(or within first 6 months).
