Depends on how difficult I think it will be to find the game later (or if it's a Dragon Quest game). I buy a lot of RPGs new because I worry about being able to find them later for a decent price (or at all). And some games I just can't wait for to come down in price (Dragon Quest, Journey, R&C complete collection on PS3, etc.). But usually I'm playing catch-up and it just makes more sense to buy used.
