    I'll probably end up regretting this but anyways:

    January

    Bayonetta - £29.99

    Although I used trade in so does that really count?

    EDIT: Returned Assassin's Creed II because I thought it was dull. Bayonetta also got cheaper so I had the difference refunded.

    Spent £29.99 with nothing planned now until 26th February.

                        You guys are mad. There's no way I'd dare do this, and I probably buy a quarter of the quantity most of you get through!

                        This thread will cause at least one divorce. Guaranteed.

                        It will also cause several of you to leave gaming for good once you see what your yearly totals are. Fact.

                        A positive though is many will learn to be more vigilant with their spending. Come the 6 month mark, they'll be plenty of, "Oh ****, a grand already, that's it, only one more title this year!"

                        I'm going to subscribe to this thread to see the chaos unfold

                          ~72£ spent. Minus direct re-sales of 36£ is 36£. More than expected.

                          Not really countable but around 1200£ (after postage) from the pre-move gaming sale and 57£ from old games trading in at HMV (on a gift card) and probably ~20£ from old games sold to crime converters.

                            Do we include DVD-R games in this lot?

                              Hopefully this year will be a cheap(ish) one.

                              So far:

                              January
                              Final Fantasy 4 (DS) CA$26.24 [curse you Rogers Plus]
                              Blood of Bahamut (DS) 1375 yen [curse you Amazon.co.jp]
                              Star Trek Conquest (Wii) CA$31.49 [curse you HMV]
