soniq Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Bought Wave Race 64 to play at a friends house but didn't have a N64 myself for many years. Bought Super Mario Sunshine, Starfox Adventures and Eternal Darkness because they were really cheap shortly before Nintendo released Wind Waker with the silver GameCube. Bought Resident Evil 2 a few weeks before I had enough money saved up to buy my own PlayStation but rented a system in the meantime on weekends to play the game. Bought quite a lot of PS3 games years before I eventually would own the system, just because they were games I wanted to play and they were also super cheap. And not sure if it counts, but I've bought a couple of PC games back in the late 90s that my PC would never run properly without a Voodoo card but I still had to have them. Somehow just playing them in 400x300 at 10fps was still better than not playing them at all. Edited July 28, 2014 by soniq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful84 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Once. When I was 17 I kinda knew that I was getting a PS2 for Christmas that year, so I took a leap of faith and bought GTA III a few weeks before. Thank goodness there really was a "bundle of hay" sitting there for me under the tree on Christmas morning . My PS+ and free-to-play PS4 games don't really count since I technically never out right paid for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstream88 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Bought Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess and Red Steel months before I bought a Wii(but that was because they were sold out at the time). bought Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots before I bought the Playstation 3. Cant remember if I had Assassins Creed before or after that. few days before I got the system because they were sold out of those as well. bought PS3 in 2010. Recent preordered Super Smash Bros for Wii U even though I don't own a Wii U yet I could buy one right now if I wanted, but it would just be collecting dust if I bought it now. Same reason I haven't bought the Xbox One and PS4 yet either. waiting for The Order 1886, No Mans Sky and Scalebound before getting those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black__bunny Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I bought Assassins Creed on Ps3 before I had one. Havent really felt the need to buy anything else before the console though Edited July 30, 2014 by black__bunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Back in the day when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl released, staring at the game without having the system to play it on was literally torture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An-Everyguy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Used to be an xbox guy. Saw that KH 1.5 HD Remix was released and I grabbed it without thinking. It was my inspiration to sell my 360 and my game collection. After that I purchased a super slim and started to play KH (after waiting for almost a month). Totally worth it.

PLamb858 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I bought the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater for PS1. I bought the PS1 within a week of the game but that series of games was the reason I went from Nintendo to PlayStation back then. I guess I was really into skateboarding..

spetsdaddy62 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would never buy a game without having the console first, that's just dumb. My friend bought Call Of Duty Ghosts for Xbox One on launch day, and he didn't have his Xbox One until 2 weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga_AU Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yes, on two different occasions. I bought Halo and Rallisport Challenge for the Xbox because for some reason the games went on sale about a week before the console launched, so i figured why not as i was getting the console a week later anyway. And i got Perfect Dark Zero for the Xbox 360 a few months before i got the console. The reason here is that MS was going to do a world wide launch, but weeks out from the launch they delayed the Australian launch until the following year. They attempted to make up for this by releasing a Perfect Dark Zero VIP Pack which included a copy of the game, a wireless control pad, a PDZ faceplate, a trailer DVD and access to a 360 VIP website that they pretty much never updated, all at a fair discount.. of course all those items were useless at the time other than the website. I also bought Jaws and Die Hard on DVD before i had a DVD player.. but it was a few days before the PS2 launch and i had a PS2 pre-ordered. On the opposite side i bought a PS2 and didnt have any games for it other than the demo disc that came with it. And when i did get a game (SSX) i couldnt afford a memory card for a couple more weeks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcks007 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Persona 4 Golden and Final Fantasy 7 I had to a borrow a ps1, to play ff7, before I bought a ps1 about a month later. I also had to leave Tekken Tag Tournament on for a many days, cause when I got a ps2, I only had enough for a ps2, and a game, and couldn't afford a memory card.

Devil_Spooky Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would never buy a game without having the console first, that's just dumb. My friend bought Call Of Duty Ghosts for Xbox One on launch day, and he didn't have his Xbox One until 2 weeks later. It's not dumb, there are valid reasons to wanting to get a game before you get the system for it: - It's a series you really love and they release a limited edition and you don't want to risk not finding it after release. - You find a game that you know you'll wanna get eventually for a really low price. - You really want a game but you know they'll make very few copies and don't wanna risk it getting hard to find and/or be really expensive when you finallly have the system for it.

Hoshi Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have an XBox game without having an XBox. Nor plans to buy one. It's a game I've never seen before and I only bought it for love of the fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPthe32man Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I tought I would ever do that... that was until Metal Gear Solid 4 came out! Released in June 2008, I was in such a hype I bought the game on it´s release but only bought a ps3 at November of the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LianshiSaonji Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 They had no simple PS3's with a big HDD in-stock in Game, so they ordered it and I'd have it delivered within the next week. So to prepare myself, I went ahead and bought myself like 3-4 games to get started on the ps3 until I can get much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlanetSurvival Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I bought Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Amazon a full month before I got my PS4 because it was on sale for $40.
