I am another one who has a large enough list of games to play, and I can wait enough for new ones. In fact, sometimes I have to do a somewhat opposite thing: right before a game gets hard to buy, I get it, even if I do not have the console yet. That would save me from paying lots and lots of pesos once the game is out of print.
Still, there are a few games I spent a lot of cash on. One is Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which I first played on the PSP and loved it. Then I got the PS2 version years later, in order to play it with my BF. But since my PS2 requires some minutes to get warmed up so I can play, I finally got the PS3 version a few months ago. It was somewhat expensive, but I knew it was a game I would love and I would play a lot, so the cost got absorbed into the hours of entertainment we would get.
My boyfriend likes the Disney Infinity game, and I saw it as a kind of constant present giving to him to get him as many toys for it as I could. Of course, this can get very expensive (we are almost done with buying the 1.0 toys, just in time to start all over again with 2.0; goodbye, loved pesos). That is why I try to get the ones who have a special offer, or the older ones. They are slightly cheaper. We are also getting some power discs now that they cost 30% of their original price. 
And speaking of companies who still give a little extra with their games in this time of no manuals, no anything, let us not forget Atlus. They care about their customers (lack of PSP Persona 2: Eternal Punishment notwhithstanding), they bring games that would never see the light of day here if not for them and X-Seed, and they give away soundtracks, books and all sort of things in the first printing of their games, for no extra cost. Actually, it was that extra something that convinced me to get the Conception 2 game, something I would not have done otherwise (fun game to mindlessly spend time on, not to be taken seriously). They also have their own Shin Megami Tensei games, which are all high quality and have great replay value. With a company like that, which is also small and does not sell as many units as other companies, I do not mind paying full price. They deserve it AND they will put the money to good use. I cannot say the same about Square Enix (even if I love the Dragon Quest games, which deserve better than being trapped in that company post the Enix-buying-Squaresoft-but-Squaresoft-behaving-like-the-top-one-now merger).
