Crazy by name, crazy by nature...

Seriously though, that's a LOT of games. You can't possibly find the time to play all those games properly, can you? (note: that's a genuine question, not an accusation).

I have an insane backlog but out this quarter I've updated it to put * next to all the games I've finished (either to completion or to the limit of my tolerance)...(I'm looking at you Dragon Age!).

Dunno the exact hours but I reckon I get quite a lot of play time each week on stuff. Bank Hol being here means massive progress hopefully. Forgotten Sands being a primer. Gonna start clearing some with June being so dead for releases.

Mine is racking up at an alarming rate of knots. Considered trying to do a month cold turkey but honestly don't know if I'd be able to resist a 'bargain'.

Stop looking at/for them, that's what I've been doing.

New Total - £267.14

Decided not to buy anything since SSF4 will keep me busy for a good while yet. Will most likely pick up other recent games when their price really drops. The MGS4 guide was a test. They always sell these 1p items on the Amazon marketplace and the shipping was 2.75 for it New! And it arrived new, very pleasantly surprised.

The likelyhood is that, by the time the month is over, the game will be cheaper than the 'bargain' price.

[Welrain]

Picked up RDR and Prince of Persia recently. Traded it a few titles also.

[egparadigm]

Argh, I'm getting a gaming pile for the first time in years. :/

That's it now – no more purchases for me until I get through it.

[Nu-Eclipse]

Haven't bought much this month in terms of actual titles, but haven't made significant inroads into my unplayed games collection either...

?893.38 is the total for the year so far.

My main failing was buying a DSi in February. I got bored with the line-up and after reading the Edge Super Mario Galaxy 2 review, I decided to sell it for a Wii.

Around three quarters of my February & March total have now been sold and all in all, I'm quite happy. I'm just half way through the year and have not yet hit the grand mark. Also the majority of the Wii total was soaked up by selling my DSi collection.

I've decided I'm still not going to compile my list like some of you, mentioning whether you've got your money's worth or whether you sold it back. I'm just including the cold, hard cash amount. It hurts more.

Bought SSF4 today for £27.50 so I am at a grand total of £31.75! I do play games, honest.

I've since bought Red Dead Redemption for £40 and another 500 MS points for £4.25 so I could finally get Final Fight / Magic Sword.

Grand total - £76.00

Mmmm, thrifty.

Need to do some corrections after the refund I had on the last US 360. A lot of my paypal funds have come out of that. Would like to think though that most of the year's big pre-orders for me are out of the way... Blazblue CS is still on the horizon, as is whatever Cave decide to put out towards the end of the year, but aside from that I think I should be looking at much smaller numbers *crosses fingers*
