There is always a barrier where you consider buying a game or not. The proof is "Gold" or "GOTY" editions that are sold for around €10 to €30 where you suddenly consider a game that you didn't buy before.
Thank God I'm apparently not the only one on 'computer savings time', as Scott Kurtz called it in an episode of
PvP Online. The majority of my collection consists of games which are long past their prime, but are still very fun and playable. I have had oodles of fun playing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on my PC, and at a prices of 10 euro, I really cannot complain. The only snag is that I dislike PDF manuals, but you can't have everything :-).
Besides, the games I bought at full retail price continue to be fun to play: I have Diablo II in my collection, bought it when it came out, and I still haven't finished it, thanks to a few nasty hard disk crashes in between. But I don't mind the replaying, although the First Act is beginning to lose its shine :-).
But this is an Amiga website, so excuse this minor sidestepping of mine.
