Usually one a month. Sometimes it's a handheld, if that counts.

Depends on what's out, and the prices of games that I don't (especially when the Aussie EB has sales, got SWAT 4 and FSW2 for $50 AUD combined). Sometimes I'll buy a few games within a couple of weeks, other times it will be a while before I buy something

Sometimes I don't get a game for a long time then I get a heap of them in a v short period of time. On average i'd say about 2 games a month.

Usually about 2 to 4 a month depending on how many I get are full retail price and how many are ones that have been out for awhile and have come down in price. I also get on average about another 2 on top of that on XBLA.

depends on whatever is out, like, I'll be getting about 7 games in the space of 3 weeks in a few months, but I haven't bought a game for the last 2 or 3 months. So it really depends on the games and their release dates.

It depends whats coming out. During the summer I basically don't purchase any of the new games, but I do buy a lot of older PC games. I would say at least two or three games during the summer and normally a lot during the Fall and Winter. This year looks like it is going to be very expensive for gaming.

I work the same way minus the XBLA. Although in the last 2 weeks I bought an NES and about 13 games to go with itoff of ebay so yeah... I got a little carried away.

Usually about 1 a month. But then again, it's gonna be like 8 games in the next 3 or so months. Mostly I rent first now to make sure I'm not getting stuck with trash, so it cuts down on the amount I buy.

Depens on what games are released. It also depends on what offers they have in the shops/internet.

Pi squared / second.

For real though, I'd probably ahh.... well this year actually has sucked for games. The only 3 games I bought this year so far have been Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Super Paper Mario and Earth Defense Force 2017.

But normally I average 2 to 3 games a month I guess.

It depends... if I'm getting $20 GC/PC games from a few years ago, I'll get 3 or so every few months. If it's brand-new $50 games, I try not to get more than 5 of those a year. Although these days I'm only interested in less than 5 PC games every year...

I buy games in bursts.

I usually wait till something I really want comes out then make a Best Buy run.
I will pick up 2 or 3 other games I have been scoping out then. That's usually every couple of months so call it 1 a month. I try not to go to Best Buy more then once a month because it pretty much impossible for me to get out of there for less then 300 bucks. More if I need ink, discs or spend too much time in the movie section.

I'm saving up for a PS3, mostly for LittleBigPlanet. So by the time LBP comes out, I'll be buying an average of one game every... six months or so.

Saving up is gonna be torture.

But normally, I buy one or two games every month.
