Video games. Unless it's a game I play with friends I typically wait for it to drop in price significantly.

Also, if you're not going to play it this week, think twice! And, if you're not going to play it this month, think a third time!

Yup. My strategy has long been:

  1. Put game in wishlist.
  2. Wait for it to drop to under 20$ (or close)
  3. Profit. Well maybe not profit, but save money.

Also good to wait until all the bugs are worked out. Been playing Cyberpunk recently and it performs really well!

Waits and waits but Nintendo won't budge.

Nintendo's stuff is free on day 1, or a few years after release if it's their Wii U stuff. I think the first Wii took a year before the Twilight Hack happened.

Let's hope they fuck up again on the Switch 2!
