Not to mention the fact that shops of all kinds discount older games as time goes on. Is that fair? Yes; it means they sell more of them, which is good for gamers.
There are people who habitually wait until a game is a certain price before buying it, and in the modern age of gaming, the time difference brings extra benefits, like patched bugs and extra content...

The only reason to buy a game at launch (other than to play it sooner, obviously) is to be a part of the social hubbub that surrounds it. In some ways it can be like going to the movies; if you don't see it when everyone else does, you're practically excluded. You pay extra for the social benefits, too, in other words.
Not that it matters to some people, which is exactly the point.

This isn't a Forza vs GT thread. It's beginning to sound like a broken record, but this is the case. If you want to discuss the two games in a civil manner, hash it out in one of the available threads. If you want to hurl insults based on other peoples' preferences, expect to be on the receiving end of an infraction or time-out. Yes, "troll" and "fanboy" are considered abusive comments. Same goes for anybody insisted on dragging a thread off-topic with more of this sort of nonsense.

On topic: Yes, people who buy the game now will be getting it at a heavy discount compared to those of us who bought it on release, as well as the DLC packs. This is standard business practice - slightly unfortunate, sure, but it happens with all old products, not just video games.

Troll and fanboy are "Abusive"? But you can objectify women all you want with a pic of a women's butt for your profile pic, ensuring all who come here regardless of age, have to stare at a womens junk with a butterfly face on it. Thank's for the protection mods. What a joke this site is? Instead of fanatics, this site has Sony or PD employees trolling for percieved enemies of the franchise, while allowing soft porn as your profile pic. Petty stinking Pervs. good by for good.

That had absolutely nothing to do with the topic in hand...

Think he's referring to how the mods reach here is a bit of a joke here. Steering all threads etc. "Ban-Hammers" 'Closing threads" Sweating the small stuff while allowing other more serious offenses is definitely kind of a true-ism for this site. I see the word troll here all the time and fan boy.
Neither is as offensive as as the insulting pictures of women used as profile pics. I am just saying. This is an all ages site. Mods ought to crack down on pervs instead of taking on everyone's opinions of their favorite game.

People who complain about moderators should try filling their shoes for a day and discover what a thankless job it is.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

GTP is one of the most immature forums I'm a member of.

only for NA? no Europe? SRSLY? As I recall we are the biggest consumers of GT series.
