Need a few tips

[m3n4ce]

Your inexperienced because you need to buy on a budget?!?! WTF?!
No dude, I see myself as a experienced player, yet I very seldom buy games that are just released.

Unless its called Diablo 3

generally I buy game 3-6 months after release or once they have been released as Platinum. The game is JUST as much fun 1 year later as it was for the guy who bought as it was released.

Suggestion:
1) 2 Great games you can look at is Mass Effect 1 + 2 both you can get for around R300 together if you look around.
2) Check the Bargain Bins on Kalahari and the second hand shelf at you local BTGames. I found MANY bargains that way!
3) go to a site called www.thedealbreaker.co.za they post excellent specials as they get released, i.e. Incredible Connection stock clearance sales.

my 2 cents.

Awe man you've got Diablo 3? Hw is it?

Dude, you have a few really good games that you have played in that list (Gears, God of War, San Andreas, COD:MW, etc), but really what you enjoy playing is your personal preference, so ya, stuff what people think.

If you're on a very tight budget, you should buy second had games. Zaps is cool if you're around Joburg, otherwise BT games has second hand games as well.

Oh, I've read a lot of negative posts about ordering online from BT games. Takealot, Kalahari and Zaps are cool though.

If you want shiny new ones though, the only games worth buying at launch are the ones that you'll be playing online multiplayer, otherwise wait a few months and the price should drop. You'll also be able to see what other people think of the games if they've been out for a while so you can pick good ones. There's a lot of hype over a lot of games on release, but then interest kind of fizzles out quickly, but people still talk about really good games 6 months later, and by then they should be classic/platinum and be way cheaper.

Well, if you only have edge, you're not going to be able to play anything online, patches or no. In that case, look for good single player games that are old enough for the price to have dropped, and check out the used games, you can get good ones for super cheap

[MOnk]

Shopping online is normally also the best way to get good deals, so check out places like kalahari.com and takealot.co.za.
