Your games - New or Used?

With the Walmart story about used game rentals and having been at GameStop today I thought I'd start a poll.

Do you play new or used games? Do you buy or rent?

I choose "Online games (Free to Play)", because
there is no Option "most expensive free to play"

If cd is scratch free, I think its stupid to pay double just to devirgenize it from the plasic Unfortunatly most gamers are pretty reckless, so scratch free is hard to find..

Yeah, thats true, but most vidiogeim stores i have visited have purchased only scratchfree cd´s/dvd´s in the first place, and when purchasing them, you get to check it before buying...but still i guess its impossible to see all the small imperfections in the cd/dvd... :dunno:
