Many of us buy our share of new and used games, and there are various reasons as to why you would choose to buy under either condition.

I came across an old thread on giant bomb where the OP said they felt bad buying used because they wanted to support the developer, and they felt more inclined to buy DLC because of it. Another user said "I have this odd thing about wanting to be the only person to have ever owned a specific copy".

Of course, the arguments for used buying are numerous. Convenience, affordability, the game being out of stock or no longer sold retail at all.

What makes you decide when you should buy something new or used? Have you ever not bought used in fear that the "day one edition" codes or whatever may have already been downloaded?
