    Your Gaming Spend - 2021 Edition

    After what has been, or has to have been for many, a back breakingly expensive year for new hardware expenditure we get to reset the abacus on the first of the new month as we herald in a new year of gaming. You may plan to pick up new hardware in 2021 which could see the coming year be a heavy outlay one or you may be looking to claw back your battered bank balance.


    Do you have the might and stomach to sign up for another year of assessing you spending damage?
    Was 2020 a good year or a naughty list one for your spending?

    I'm dialling it back massively for 2021, got other things IRL that need my attention/money.

        My final tally of spend in 2020 was - £3,221

        Which is the highest on record I've ever spent in a year since I started tracking my spend in these threads in 2010. Obscene amount and I need to come in under £630 to break the opposite record which will very much be the plan in 2021 as I was doing well for a few years till the new gen hit.

          I'll be honest, I lost track of my spending after August. I can say, however, that it was wallet slayingly expensive in 2020 thanks in no small part to the two next-gen consoles as well as the One X I bought just before lockdown and TLOUII PS4 Pro (although the cost of that was offset by selling some bits).

          Aiming for below £750 this year which I think is doable if I stick to major titles only and a few PSN / eShop sale titles.

            Didn't take long for the wallet to open... Made use of the Xmas Sale/Epic Store £10 voucher to get it cheap at least.

            January
            SnowRunner: £10.99

            Total: £10.99

            Like Euro Truck Simulator but its driving trucks/lorries through snow and icy hills (reminds me of that Ice Road Truckers show you'd see on Quest).

              I dread to think what I spent last year, I’d love to track this years spend, it shouldn’t be too bad as my wife went nuts for me for Xmas and I now have all the consoles I need.

              Anyway, nothing spent as of yet (02/01/21) but I’ll try and update this post as I do.

                  Looking at what is coming to game pass and what rewards points I've got accruing I reckon I could get to April / May without spending anything ...

                    I've got Resi 8 and GT7 lined up for this year. Kena looks nice but I'll wait for opinions first. After that I'll just see what takes my fancy.

                      I'm making a point to get those MS Rewards points up this year, I'm currently back up to just over 12,000 so not far off 2x free Game Pass periods so MS content is currently covered for at least most of the year unless they suddenly announce more stuff. Nintendo's schedule is probably the most barren it's ever been which means a heavy focus on backlog and no money for them for a long time given trading will easily sort 3D world out which itself is hardly a priority title. PC is also backlog heavy so PS5 is the main one to watch with several exclusives due but I'll see how trading goes. If I can keep it to £50 a month or less I'm home free to break my record this year.

                        Not got any planned purchases this year. Last year I picked up a whole lots of half wants so there's not really anything left for me to target, or nothing that comes to mind right now. Hopefully be much less.

                          Should this be pinned at the top of the forum section and 2020 removed now?

                              I should add that it's an irk you can't see your spend history on the Nintendo website.
                              Also the new PS shop is still rubbish, but I discovered I can still see my wishlist via the un-updated app.
                              The problem is, a load of games I want are on sale!
