Buying Games for Systems You Don't Have (Yet)
scarmullet:
I only do it when I know I'll be picking up the system...although I have a box of Odyssey 2 games and do not currently own one. I did at one point buy Sega CD games when I didn't have a system because well...I could just use an emulator till I got the system, same with 3DO.

Well, i have some PS2 games but i don't own one, planing on buying one in a future
Zalovar:
I've done that quite a bit and have eventually acquired most of the systems that I wanted....with the exception of the Sega CD...found a bunch of games that were in really good shape at a local thrift store for like $2.00 a pop so couldn't pass that up. Still waiting on finding a good deal on a working Sega CD.

I haven't bought any, but I have received games from people who don't want some of their Wii games anymore. Now that the Wii mini is out, I might actually buy it and get to play them.
Seraph Man:
I owned Mega Man 1-6 before I got my NES
I own Mega Man for the Game Gear and Mega Man X7 and X8 for the PS2, and own neither systems.
I plan to get Mega Man: The Wily Wars reproduction cart for the Genesis, as well as Mega Man 64 for the Nintendo 64, despite not having either console, and I was planning to get Mega Man: Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X for the PSP without actually buying a PSP (by chance I ended up getting 3 PSPs for free, and managed to get one of them to work, so now I have a working PSP with no games).
The only reason I have them is because of my Mega Man Collection. I have no plans of ever getting a Game Gear, and I've been on the fence about a PS2 for a long time (not so much on "is PS2 good?" but rather "is it worth it to try and hunt down the quality PS2 games now?") and even if I decide I want it, I won't be making any purchases anytime soon (being broke sucks).
