Thought this would be an interesting POLL to run. Let me know what you think. In the past I've primarily purchased games without trying demos based most of what I purchased on reviews and what I've heard about it from others. However, RECENTLY I've been playing a lot of demos and they've been making up my mind for me.I sometimes play demos first, but typically, I either play the full version at a friend's house or make an impulse purchase without ever playing the game (did this with AoE3 and BF2142).Yeah I usually play the games at my friends house. If I like it, I consider getting it.

I don't do what my brother does. He sees a good ad on TV, buys the real thing but then doesn't play it after a day/week because he doesn't like it.ive got demos on psp, and if I have the demo i usually dont buy the game lol. LocoRoco is an exception. good game.Hmm... usually, but not always.if i know it will be a good game, i usually buy it. if im unsure, i acquire it through different means. personally i dont like installing demos.yeah, playing the demo before spending money is very important.I actually normally don't bother.
I rely on online reviews and my friends to tell me how good the game is before buying it but I very rarely use demos.It DEPENDS on what the game is and if I have seen the previews or not.
Like StarCraft 2, I don't need to test it to tell that it is a good game and that I would like it.I buy it from EBAY.Sometimes I play the full version at a friend's house, if it's cool enough, I'll buy it. That's how I got ''Resident Evil 4'' and ''Dragonball Z Budokai'' (both Nintendo Gamecube games). well...i just look at the video gameplay posted by someone somewhere like in the youtube
