Maybe I should do that next time.
I was late on Pokemon Sun and Moon and then they screwed up the whole Zelda WiiU thing on me.

and with prime their return policy is great. I dont think they even check the box if there is an issue
I generally just wait a year for the price to come down. TitanFall 2, FFXV, Deus Ex, Last Guardian, Battlefield 1, are all around 30 bucks now.
Last year it was Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Phantom Pain
Even older games like Far Cry and Shadow of Mordor are like 15-20 bucks.
Its generally better to just wait. I couldn't even get through all the games in the library if I tried. I'd be paying to have them sit on my tv set.
How people still don't understand the benefits of saving money for pre orders is beyond.
paying less is good
Why do you keep saying this when everybody clearly understands it?

Yep, **** me for saving money though for a game I'm buying regardless, give me my cloud saves and everything digital!

I prefer Nintendo's approach to conferences this year.
No nonsense, show the games, show gameplay demos.
I don't need all these frills and themes with all the hyperbole.

When Sony is inevitably not in first place I hope Microsoft will still want to do it and others as well

I agree. However I do enjoy the live events with an audience and Microsoft and Sony making a "show" out of it.
I still remember when Microsoft gave out a free Xbox to everyone in the audience. How cool was that? Just the little things like that I like.
Nintendo has a great 3DS games sale going on in their store right now. Might have to shore up my VC collection this week.
Didn't Sony show an hour's worth of straight games? Usuaully showing some form of gameplay in each case?
They also have about an hour worth of gameplay for eachl of the e3 games (including Mario Odyssey) on their YouTube channel

I wasn't a fan of EA's whole thing, same with Ubisoft and Bethesda's theme was pure cringe.

At full price with no way to return it, maybe.
For $30 off (plus trade-in/resell value if you are buying a physical console game) they make it hard to say no.

I was skeptical when Nintendo said they were going to stop with the big keynote speeches a few years ago, but this is a much better way of doing it.
The rest of the companies give you marketing stunts and wannabe movie trailers, Nintendo just does 4 straight days of gameplay. No celebrity hosts or silly gimmicks. Director interviews, streaming gameplay, live game announcements....it's awesome.
The worst thing Nintendo can do is try to play Sony and Microsoft's game. They need to be separate and unique. They're not going to win an arms race against $100 billion corporations, just make fun games and do it your own way.

A year, at least two of those were on sale within 45 days for $30.00. But I agree with your assessment, unless it's the game I have been waiting for I wait for the sale

Because you can game share if you know someone, so you just split every game you play or take turns buying a game. Paying $40 in Canada for new games is pretty sweet.
