Depends on the year. Last year it was a binge with the Gamestop sales, so around 50ish.

These all look good to me:

  • Ratchet & Clank
  • Uncharted
  • Mafia
  • Wet
  • Mario Galaxy 2
  • Metroid: The Other MGo!
  • FF XIII
  • NMH2:Desperate Struggle
  • Dark Void
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Modern Warfare 2
  • Lost Planet 2
  • Red Steel 2
  • Left 4 Dead 2
  • Crackdown 2
  • Mass Effect 2
  • Brutal Legend
  • Alpha Protocal
  • M.A.G.
  • God of War |||
  • Halo 3: ODST
  • Metal Gear Solid:Rising
  • Halo:Reach
  • Project Natal
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  • Heavy Rain
  • Borderlands
  • Sabotuer
  • Assasins Creed 2

$1500+ for them all. Cheaper way, upping my gamefly sub to 3 at a time and load up the q. Probably will end up only having to own 3 or 4 total.

20-30 games a year. This year, so far, I've only bought one because I've been poor. :(

When I was in school I used to buy alot of games, a few a month at least, plus some dvds.

Now I'm a poor student, because of that my pc hasn't been upgraded in a few years, so I play my older games still.

In fact I play at least as much genesis, snes, gameboy and PS1 as I play 'newer' pc games.

I used to buy 20 or so depending on the year. Now I'm also using gamefly ended up only I buying 5 last year. Definetly a good way to play a lot of games on a budget.

Probably anywhere from 6-20 games a year. Most of them are older titles though, but I do buy a few new releases if I've been waiting for them. Last year and this year I've bought a ton of games.

I bought 25 games last year and by the looks of it it will be the same this year, maybe more. So 25 I guess!

EDIT: I only took my 360 into account... sorry! Last year I bought 33 new games, for my 360, PS3 and DS.

I usually buy like around 5 but this year I am going to buy 20 because I finally have some money and they are mostly going to be ps2 and gba games. because ps2 games are cheap and awesome and gba games are not cheap but awesome none the less.

Sticking to 3-4 this year. I'm no collector. There's other things I like to spend money on than aquiring a wall full of games that will be outdated in a year, and reselling used games sucks. I'm happy to throw $200 at gamefly for a year of playing hundreds of games. The money I save is enough for a fat vacation.

Well last year i didnt buy much, i either had to wait for christmas or my birthday to get a game, because my dad is kind of a tightwad, i know sure you probably say im a brat but, i really only ask for games on special occasions, but since i have a job now i plan on buying many more games.

Well, i've bought around 7 games this year already, and we're nowhere close to the fall.... I can say that last year was certainly ridiculous.

I bought 3 last year but rented probably 100 from gamefly.

How many games you got through in a year?

30-60 around that range, really don't know off hand. but usually around that mark.

Depends upon what has been released for the year. Anywhere from 3 to 8, I'd guess.

Well I just counted up all the games I bought in 2008 via my literal game log and the grand total is 51 games.... And after counting it all up, I wanted to retch. I really do buy too many games. I counted up my purchases of this year so far and I'm already past the halfway mark of last year... That can partially be attributed to my purchase of a 360, but it's still rather gross.

I'll buy a few a year. I try to spend my money wisely as I'm currently unemployed, but even when I had a job I didn't buy games very often. I've still got games that will keep me entertained for ages and I probably won't buy any new games until I've completed at least two games of mine. And that will take me a while because I don't get to go on my 360 as often as I'd like to.
