I don't look at my pins as investments but I do look at them as relatively safe places to put my money. You get to use them as you wish and I find that if priced right, they are easy to sell. As always, its about where you buy in at and what you expect to sell at. Knowing the market is half the battle. If I were you and you really want that title, buy it used at less than msrp, if you can. The good thing about buying used is you get to check it out and it has already been played before you buy it. Its much easier to spot manufacturers defects this way. The good thing is that if I ever really need money, all I have to do is sell one of my games, although I don't like to sell my games!
