What have we bought so far this year?

[nickgodfrey]

I have bought precisely zero. I?m so pleased with myself. It?s not a New Year?s resolution, it?s not a lack of games (twenty-odd I would like); I?ve just been disciplined.

Of course, come April it won?t make the slightest bit of difference. Just before the New Year I got a Wii and the 360 HD-DVD Drive; and now Gameplay have confirmed my PS3 pre-order. In fact, I will probably be down compared to my purchases of last year. Ho-hum I guess?

What have your spending habits been like this year?

[gossi the dog]

Purchased very little due to an overhang of games from late last year and being far too busy with work.

Anyhow here's what I've purchased so far:

Makai Kingdom (PAL) - PS2 - NEW - £5
Maximo Vs Army of Zin (PAL) - PS2 - NEW - £6

Two complete impulse purchases. Both games are still in their shrinkwrap too. I must admit to currently having the Castlevania Lament of Innocence box set on it's way as well as Diddy Kong Racing DS.

Quite a bit even though I've got loads of things sitting round the place already, unopened... plus I'm swamped with work so I haven't got the time to play them anyway. It's this forum I blame

So far off the top of my head I've bought:

Dialhex
Boundish
Kirby's Dream Land
Nintendo Puzzle Collection
Chibi Robo

...but I've also been getting rid of the stuff I don't need that's knocking round the place so it evens out I guess.

This made me stop and wonder just how many games I'd bought since the start of the year. Too many, I think, is the unfortunate answer.

Excite Truck
Kororinpa
WarioWare Smooth Moves
1080 Avalanche
Legend of Zelda TP (GC)
Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
WaveRace Blue Storm
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
Touch Detective
Final Fantasy VI
Rhythm Tengoku
Dotstream
Sumon Night
Beyond Good and Evil

I'd probably best take a week off work to get started...

edit - and that's not including VC stuff

[stainboy]

Just a couple of XBLA games and one of those was out last year. I did buy Gears but wasn't keen so I managed to sell it off for the same price I paid.

[Nu-Eclipse]

To be honest, I've been all about DS games ever since I got my Black Lite at Xmas. I even sold on my PSP & games as they simply weren't being used. Money's a bit thin on the ground at the moment but I'm hoping to get a Wii and an imported PS3 as soon as financially possible.

In the mean time, I've been satisfying my gaming needs with the following:-

New Super Mario Bros. (Xmas gift)
Brain Training
Trauma Center: Under The Knife
Elite Beat Agents
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (completed and traded)
Mr Driller: Drill Spirits
Tetris DS

I should be getting my hands on Phoenix Wright: Justice For All next week.

[Welrain]

I've bought:

GUN (Xbox 360)
Kameo (Xbox 360)

Trying to limit myself to one game a month with a maximum £20 spend....it's been hard.

----> Failed!

King King (Xbox 360)
Amped 3 (Xbox 360)
Quake 4 (Xbox 360)

Kept under the £20 maximum though and ended up with King Kong for free due to a Tesco's pricing mix-up! ACE!

[Concrete donkey]

So far this year I've brought

Final Fantasy 3 (DS)
Elebits (Wii)
Wario Ware (Wii)
Rayman (Wii)

Came close to buying Crackdown yesterday, but as I have no money I decided against it.

I would have normally brought more, but want to complete Zelda, FFXII and Okami before May so restricting myself on purchases.

[RetroRevival]

Got rid of my PSP and DS Lite just before Xmas and bought a HD-DVD for my 360.

Traded in COD2, COD3 and Pro Evo 6 today with Game in readyness for Brian Lara on the 23rd of March.

Also sold a load of Wii games (Red Steel, Monkeyball, Rayman, Super Fruitfall) and bought Korornopia or whatever it is for ?25 from Choices which arrived today, and picked up a PSP (again) to keep me busy till Lara hits the doormat after I read some good reviews of Ratchet & Clank (which I absolutely adore)

Apart from that I really cannot see much being bought this year. Actually looking forward to playing Alundra on the PSP more than any new gen stuff.

Kind of sad really.

[NekoFever]

Crackdown (360)
Final Fantasy VI Advance (GBA)
God of War (PS2)
Gyakuten Saiban 2 (DS)
