That'd be the issue for me. From reading some opinions it seems like the sort of game you'll play once and not really come back to again; it's a lot of money to pay for something you can sell or trade in afterwards.

Same here. Although my PS4 has been a netflix machine since launch! The PC and Wii U are getting plenty of play time.

they way I see it is if it's a single player game, your never really going to play it again from scratch straight after completing it and it will depreciate like hell as everyone floods the market after completing it quickly. so is it worth keeping it to replay it years later? normally i never replay so that's a no from me. with games like this unless you get it for dirt cheap at launch, it's best just waiting for a second hand copy you can punt on afterwards or completing the game within a couple of weeks then selling on before second hand prices crash.
it's why I have stayed away from all the lego sequels they will be selling on ebay for £10 in 6 months time.
wolfenstein will be £20 in 3 months time. after all it's a single player game with no replay appeal or longevity. at that point you could buy the game for £20 play it for 2 months then sell it on for £15+, meaning it cost you less than a fiver to play it.
buying at launch especially digital means paying up to 10 times that amount.
the only games worthy of a launch buy are those that your going to be playing for months on end like Gran Turismo, Fifa, BF4, GTA, etc.
Those that are use once and dispose of your better off waiting

I never sell games tbh but then I very rarely buy new.
The Metro review is up for Wolfenstein (PS4). Looks quality if you like FPS single player http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/20/wolfenstein-the-new-order-review-fighting-fascism-4733703/

Games are usually dirt cheap on gumtree compared to ebay in my area so it's worth looking on that time to time, you generally need to be quick though so worth checking regularly before they sell fast.
Some guy put a pool table up in good condition proper slate table full size and solid wood, etc for free (worth about £300 in that condition second hand). I tried to organise a van and by the time I looked back on gumtree the ad had vanished within 15 minutes. I knew I should have contacted them straight away but I thought it wouldn't go within 20 minutes, I saw the ad 5 minutes after it had been put up.

Tesco local to me must have a pricing error, just picked up wolfenstein and package says doom beta key included for £34.99 , cheapest I've seen it, yet shelf says £40.00 anyhow purchased it, for that price play it, then trade it on next week if I don't think I'll play it again when I've completed it. jobs a good un..

Wolfenstein is a rental for me. Got in waiting on Boomerang.
I used to replay games, but not anymore. I Platinumed Ni No Kuni 14 months ago on PS3 and loved it. One of the best games last gen IMO. Even so, I got 4 hours into it this week on another run through after picking it up for £5 on PSN and realised I wasn't enjoying it at all so gave up.
I guess I just have no interest in replaying a game now. It's all about the social multiplayer banter for me now. I didn't even end up doing NG+ in Dark Souls 2. And I consider the Souls games to be 10x better than the next best game out so to not even replay THAT is a big sign for me. I played Demon's Souls about 10 times through at least. Got the Plat 2 times, and 98% a 3rd time. lol
My views have certainly changed in recent years
watched some vids of Wolfenstein though and looked like it'll at least be a fun game to play through once.
Lots of multiplayer stuff coming though at least. 5-6 of us are all getting Diablo 3 and Destiny so really looking forward to those.

Somehow I'd totally missed this one. Looks cool, I think I'll be buying this one.

Wolfenstein has surpassed my expectations tbh. Ended up getting on PC as my PS4 order went out of stock until 24th..
Downloaded last night 40GB ! Awesome game so far, weapons, sound effects, graphics (Medium settings @ 1440P) and pacing are spot on imho. If you like FPS def grab this one.

Ill pick this up once Ive dealt with Demon Souls as a reward - looks good but likely to be overlooked...

Is there a shortage of stock on Wolfenstein? Just tried to grab a copy at my local Sainsbury and was told there's a shortage and not sure when they'll have more. First time I've really heard of a game going out of stock, dam is the game that good?!
