Trade some games in to get it cheaper.
Also holy shit tens of thousands?
I buy like 12 games a year. Not counting random iOS purchases.

Buy it, beat it, resell it for almost full value?
Also, perfect time for Sony to announce a PS3 price drop right before this game releases. Seems alot of non-owners want to get it for just this game
.
I'm a collector. I don't sell or trade my games.
Although I suppose the second posters suggestion would make sense, buy it for $60, beat it, sell it for $50 or whatever, then buy it again later for my collection when it's practically free.
I'm kind of disappointed about the ending.
Hearing it's a tearjerker, could only mean the obvious. I'm not even going to spoil tag it because I have no clue if this is true..this is just random thoughts...but either Joel dies, or the chick dies (ellie?)...that's the only way I see tears flowing...and either way, it'll feel to much similar, IMO, to that of Tell Tales Walking Dead ending.
If they can execute it better than than Whitta and Tell Tale did than by all means, but after experiencing TWD ending, I doubt the tears will be flowing all that much..if what happens, which I assume is this case, happens...

I hear you man. I easily spent well over 1k for Infinite =/
No regrets however. And I dont blame you for not wanting to trade anything in. Redbox that shit.

Maybe just budget so that you buy less games in the future to account for it?
That's pretty much what I do. As I said I only get 12 or so a year, sometimes I'll splurge for the collectors edition when I'm super hyped for those games. (The Last Of Us)
Ya, 2012 was not a good year for my mental health. Went a bit manic depressive and just started buying games the day they came out that I didn't even plan to play.
I still have Halo 4 in the plastic wrap. $60 down the drain, etc.
This year I'm trying to be far more careful about that, and so far so good for sure. I've spent less than $1000 so far this year, but I've still played plenty of great games at launch. And without resorting to piracy, of course.

At least play the campaign, it's worth checking out even if the multiplayer isn't a box of chocolates.
Until the new consoles come out! Already saving up :lol

Holy shit, Andrew. How much was that skyhook?
Keep away from all of The Last of Us goodies.
Excellent idea as well. Just be sure to sell it to someone here or on CL or the like.\\
Duke - It was the new TV I bought mostly. That plus the Skyhook. plus the art book, plus the special edition, plus the guide...
Only thing Im gettin for this is the Survival.
Well I am getting the Survial edition cause the post pandemic edition was sold out. What other goodies are there?
Actually, due to the wonders of PC DD sales, Steam, GreenManGaming, following Wario64 on Twitter, and NeoGAF, I have been able to play pretty much every game I want when I want to play it, and for a price that I consider fair and acceptable.
It just requires some work. Paying $60 for games is laziness. I was too lazy to look for better deals in 2012, and now in 2013 I'm working to be a more fiscally responsible gamer.
For a GTX 880 next year, ya!
I've decided that both next-gen consoles are waiting until 1 price drop and a good number of exclusive games that I feel like I can't miss out on any longer.
You really trust OFFICAL PLAYSTATION(TM) (R) magazine and magazine that describes itself like this:
Seriously learn some source criticism.

For me buying a game at $60 is me essentially the premium for wanting to play something immediately.
I know I can't wait a second longer than I need to for The Last Of Us, so I'll gladly pay the full amount.
For something like God of War Ascension I waited two months and got it for $30. Wise choice....
Yeah, I buy a shitton of games brand new but unless it's something I really want waiting just a couple of weeks can result in much better deals.
This one though, Survival Edition Day 1. Need that artbook/steelbook.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
It's UK OPM, they are like EG & Edge, they don't fuck around regardless if it's exclusive or not, actually I think the highest scoring games from them are multiplatform

I wish someone would have smacked some sense into me years ago.
I have horror stories of some of the games I've purchased for $60 this generation. Off the top of my head:
Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Damnation
X-Blades
Onechanbara
Blacksite: Area 51
Shadowrun
Lair
Time Crisis 4 w/ Lightgun ($100? IIRC)
The Force Unleashed
Spectral Force 3
Culdcept Saga
The Last Remnant
Infinite Undiscovery
Star Ocean 4
and many others. And those are just the bad games that I spent full price on, not even to mention the average or good games that I just wasn't interested in playing.
I think that's it. There's a couple of special editions here in the UK, but we don't get a statue
However, we do get a cool canvas wrap!
Yeah, if you want the art book at all, like me, it's a no brainer to get the Survival Edition.
It'll end up more like 10-12 hours depending on how you play. They always overestimate these times.

I've got the Joel equivalent of that edition pre-ordered on Tesco's online store for £40. Not too shabby.

Erm...consult Metacritic before you buy?
I've seen several people mention this but I don't know how there was any confusion. The infected were featured prominently in the reveal trailer. I've been on a strict media blackout and I knew this.
Popcorn heads, not zombies.

Can't wait for someone to have the audacity to give this an 8. 8 ain't no 10.
"@TheKevinDent: David Cage should just do PR for Naughty Dog, they do what he aspires to be, but he sells it better. The lowest score I am hearing is 93/100"
"@TheKevinDent: It is incredibly rare for me to hear reviewers gush in unison about a game, but when I do I get that giddy feeling you get as a child!"

Haha wow. So many names in there I'd expect to be in there too.
meets Manhunt.
Sounds like an odd principle to get behind, like not supporting a game that looks good but has guns in it, so it must be another "gun game". A lot of the marketing downplays the existence of the infected and makes it clear it's more about survival and the lead characters.
It ain't like post-apocalyptic survival and zombies are mutually exclusive either
There's no zombies
Someone who thinks he is a larger part of the inside games industry crowd than he really is and tries to prove it by interjecting into every topic while leading on that he knows more than he really does.
So, a NeoGAF poster on Twitter?
Definitely. In my opinion, 8 out of 10 is pretty generous.
You mean you don't know Kevin Dent? THE Kevin Dent??
I have no fucking clue.

So rare (as long you exclude basically every AAA game released this gen).
This is why you don't preorder

Alright, I'm thinking that I should go down to Gamestop and pre-order The Last of Us in order to get the special edition. I just wonder if there is still time to do so.
