    " that was fast!" - when a paid game goes free not long after its release
    " they're all gone!" "vultures" - when a batch of promo codes is all taken shortly after being posted, with many codes taken by anonymous users who don't post which code they have taken
    "instabuy" "instaget"

    This is a work in progress.. Feel free to suggest your own

    "$1.99!?!?!?!?!?" "I'll wait for a sale. I could buy two copies of Angry Birds with that kind of money."

    "A DOLLAR???!!!" "I'll wait for it to go free. In a year and a half. To save a dollar. Yep."

    "The graphics suck."

    "Why no Game Center?"

    "Will it run on my iPod Touch 2G?"

    In response to any free game, no matter how shitty: "Wow, AWESOME GAME 10/10!!! It's so good."

    Raise the price of the same game to a dollar again, and you hear "Wow, what a piece of shit. Who'd play this?"

    Yep, seriously stop making games sound like they're amazing just because you got it for free. 90% of the time, they're absolute shit.

    ------

    "$6.99?!?!" "Is this some kind of joke? Games on phones are supposed to be free; everyone knows that. What kind of f**king retard would buy this for $7?"

    "Wow, Square Enix and CAVE dare to charge more than $10 for a game? THEY'RE OUT OF LINE. YOU HEAR ME? OUT OF LINE!!!!!!!!"

    "What time does it come out in America?"

    "I wish I lived in New Zealand." (probably the only place on the internet you'll hear that phrase :p JK)

    "It's made by one person. It has to be good. I mean, even if it's a dirt pile, it was still made by one person. It's good. It was made by one person. One person. Got that? It was made by one person; you can't criticize it."

    "It's made by a 12 year old. It has to be good. How dare you criticize the efforts of a 12 year old?"

    "I BOUGHT A GRAND TOTAL OF 5 GAMES LAST MONTH."
    -"Wow 5 new PS3 games? That's a lot of money!"
    "NO, 5 IPHONE GAMES THAT COST ME A GRAND TOTAL OF $5. I'M A BADASS. 5 new games in one month. Can you believe how many that is? I definitely can't spend anymore this month. I already bought 5 NEW GAMES."

    "I want a REAL Call of Duty game on the iPhone. I'm not paying more than $5 though."

    What the heck is peggling? Lol.

    @EBT: I think the term you're looking for is "lurkers" and not "vultures", lol.

    It's when developers drop the price of a game to 99 cents, especially from a high price. It originated when Peggle went on sale for 99 cents, back in the days when 99 cent sales for high price games were rare.

    Oh, I see. Yeah, it was indeed rare back then. The race to the bottom hadn't really begun yet in early 2009. Was surprising to see Peggle drop from $5 to $1 within a month at the time.
