    Should I buy Gears of War, New or Used?

    I dont know if i should buy it new or used.

    If I buy it new, it would be the refresh one, and if I bought it used, it would be the normal one.
    Cant decide.
    Game Collection-- MGS4 LE, Rock Band 2,Guitar Hero:Metallica, CoD:WaW, Pain.

    Soon to buy--xbox 360 pro? NCAA 10, Madden 10

    I always buy new, the devs make zero money if you buy used. Support the people who make your hobby possible!

    The refresh is only $40 right? That's pretty much the same price as a used copy. Plus, the refresh has all the DLC. Buy new.

    Might as well buy it new since it's only $40 unless you know a friend who will sell it to you for $25 or less. The DLC is all free anyway if it comes to this.

    Yeah, go new on Gears of War, you can get some good bargains on new online. I know in GAME in the UK they sell some of their preowned games like £5 less than the new game, it's like, dude what's the point?

    I'd go used if it was cheaper. If money's no object, then buy new and support developers efforts.

    I'm gonna pick up the refresh. I want the extra themes and gamer pics, plus it comes with some Gears 2 footage and news.

    Why are you asking us. Ask the clerk in the store whether or not its the newer version.

    I bought it new, multiplayer isnt bad, but the host has a monster advantage, but I suck at this game bad.

    I never really got into multiplayer for that game, it always bugged me that the saw would never start up when your right next to an enemy, besides I was too busy playing Vegas at the time.

    I agree. But since this game has already sold 5 million copies worldwide, I guess it's ok to buy it used.

    If you have a good gaming PC then buy the PC version for $30. I've been playing it on my Macbook Pro (boot camp) and frankly, it looks better than it did on my 360. Also, the PC version has a bonus chapter stuck somewhere in the game.

    I would buy it new, because you know that you're getting a working copy and your supporting the developing company at the same time.

    I bought used so that I could get the special edition version. Doesn't really matter either way though.
